Hi-C Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 people still play this horrible character? lol Rather main Anji than learn how to spam lightning with Ky or bandit revolver loop with Sol.
Dawnbringer Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 people still play this horrible character? lol The answer is...HELL YES.Just because Anji's awesome like that.Sure,he's low tier and all,but he's still the cool guy that throws butterflies to rape you.
Silmerion Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 He's not even that bad! As originally printed in the May 2008 issue of Tougeki Damashi magazine: S: Eddie, Testament A: Potemkin, Baiken, Jam, Slayer B: May, Axl, Venom C: Sol, Ky, Millia, Faust, Anji, Dizzy, Zappa, Robo-Ky, ABA, Order-Sol D: Chipp, Johnny, I-No, Buri **Note: Horizontal ordering does not indicate higher or lower rankings within each tier.
Chomite Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 ; ) just saying hi to y'all again. Back from school and summer break.
Shining Aquas Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 True. It has been a while Chomite. You still play Pot and Zappa?
Chomite Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 So and so. I kinda stopped progressing with those two characters (stopped going to practice mode) and started to play more Anji before term started. Too bad that my pot is almost as good as my Anji -_-;; Damn, practice practice...
Silmerion Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Air throw, 5S/5P, On, H Fuujin, FB Rin, run up, 5K, 5S, On I think maybe this combo needs to be done more, on account of how ridiculously stylish it is.
Teyah Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Everything Anji does is stylish. It's why I made the switch! in #R

Teyah Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 The caterpie evolves into a butterfly and we all know how Anji handles butterflies
Klaige Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 ....jesus christ really....this thread has contracted down syndrome.
Shining Aquas Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 ....jesus christ really....this thread has contracted down syndrome. Bingo, we have a winner
Siiner Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 This thread was officially awesome the moment that someone decided to pick up Anji and make him good. What took you so long?
Shining Aquas Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 This thread was officially awesome the moment that someone decided to pick up Anji and make him good. What took you so long? Sorry, it took some time to get over the lack of good Fuujin follow-ups on block and the general number of "block on reaction" specials. We somehow manage to overcome some of the hurdles with things like GP's, Fuujin invin., butterflies, and On combos but the road is a long one...
Dawnbringer Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 It took even longer to get over the lack of frame advantage moves that actually help.I can only think of 2 off the top of my head and that's 2k(pushes really far away) and P stomp (which gives like next to nothing for frame advantage really...+1~3 was it?). I think the only thing Anji has over other characters is his versatility.He's basically a Jack of All Trades.He can do a little of zoning(he does have decent poking range),pressure(to a certain extent with butterflies),rushdown(Fuujin strings),counter(autoguards,psychic ability preferred and there's always HS Fuujin).He has tools for every fight,though some worst than others(ie: Axl).The matchups might be hard,but they're not next to a 70% lose situation (it just seems like it).Of course,that's mostly due to anticipation skills.Heck,I think Anji is basically 6.5-3.5 at worst now.But he definitely doesn't have any real good matchups still(well,maybe Chipp since he's so fragile and Anji's 5 guts make him hard to finish for a Chipp). All in all,Anji's just a balanced character that's outclassed by everyone else.He can't combo as hard as Slayer,he can't do big unblockable damage like Eddie(nor are his mix-ups that crazy,he can't even compare to I-No or even Ky for mixups since his overhead damage is pathetic like that),he can't zone as efficiently as Testament,he can't rushdown like Order Sol,he can't pressure like a Venom,he can't b!tch counter like Baiken(or even Testament's warrant in terms of reward),he doesn't have crazy potential gimmicks like Bridget nor the maneuverability of Bridget. So...that's why Anji's NOT awesome.But he's the only topless person in the entire cast,and that makes him more awesome than Johnny.Note that he also uses fans to slap people and that's always a bonus.He's just that cool. Edit: 5P is +3~4 frame advantage.Too bad it's only consistent against Potemkin since crouching characters can just punish you for using it.
Shining Aquas Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 ...I think the only thing Anji has over other characters is his versatility. This is true. His ability to play his game under almost any circumstances is pretty amazing. He's basically a Jack of All Trades. ....mmm, not so much I think. When I think JoaT's, I think Ky. Anji's Butterfly isn't much of a projectile for projectile purposes (due to it's traveling speed and recovery time) but is still excellent for lockdown purposes. His point blank game is decent but not actually good since there seems to be a lot of stuff that can be punished on reaction (or at least more easily than preferred). Not to mention he really can't control space all that well. I suppose in a way you could say he's a JoaT, but purely from a defensive standpoint. No matter what kind of situation he's in, there's generally at least 1-2 additional option(s) avaliable to you if you are cunning enough and brave enough to try them. He really isn't that bad a character. I honestly think he's really good. Maybe not amazing, but pretty damn slick.
professorlester Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 i miss 6k autoguard launcher.... best combos/restart setup for me. Played Slash the other day and was crying about just how fun that Anji was
Shining Aquas Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I missed out on Slash since I started with Accent Core. I guess that's why I can still feel so confident about the Anji now since I haven't really compared him with any other version. I guess I'm "clean" so to speak.
