Wait what do you mean costs 4 stars? You mean you can do OD after 6A and effectively Mugen after 4 stars?

I think the only requirement was the minimum height nerf going from extend to CP. Otherwise I've seen all kinds of crazy nonsense get grabbed by it. I should use it more myself to be honest.

Welp, I know what I'm gonna start practicing.

 

It might the closest thing we have to having the old 6D back.

TK Hotaru will probably be better for you to practice. Only something like 4 frames till you're invincible when done perfectly. Now that's something I definitely abuse.

I was almost starting to get the Fatal Agito follow-up after j.d to work, too.    

 

Does anyone know if you can cancel into agito after a successful j.D in 2.0, just manually?

I forgot th J.D>Agito even existed....

 

 

And no, I believe they took out all counter follow up options outside the cancellable ones.

I see, I guess I forgot most of the changes since I've looked at them.  Are there now only certain specials that can be cancelled into from a counter?    I know Yukikaze, Renka and Zantetsu are possible, but I didn't know you couldn't use certain specials

I think you can use all specials, but the follow up doesn't freeze the opponent so they can block during the special startup.

None of hakumen's normal counters have froze the opponent in CP. So all special cancelled moves carry a risk

2d enma follow up has always been viable against characters that don't have lots of multi-hitting attacks. 

 

 

If it's possible to get it to be exactly the same, I wonder what the execution requirement is like to just manually cancel into Enma out of a 2d catch in 2.0.   

 

You can't immediately jump cancel OD it into 7k anymore, but it might still be worth it.  

 

 

 

edit:  Also liked your new mugen vids today.  That's going to be really, really fun when 2.0 rolls around.

True,  it might be something worth pursuing though.

 

 

Another situation:  I've had the regular grab off 2d be blocked because the opponent hit it with a jump cancellable move and then jumped and blocked.  2d ---> Cancel into Renka would be pretty useful as well for the low to catch them while they hold up. Maybe that's probably why they changed Renka into stagger I feel like.  Otherwise it's an easy staircase combo off a 2d since Renka comes out really fast.    Way too OP for me  :AB:

 

 

The risk and reward of using stars just doesn't seem worth it to me when Mugen > OD combos look so strong in 2.0 though.  Especially since there are lots of ways that you can confirm into 7-8k without having to Mugen > OD in neutral and hope for a cheesey hit. 

 

Birth of Turtle Hakumen in 2.0?  Idk.

Nothing about the risks of mugen have changed. It just has a higher reward now. Gotta force them to use their burst first.

Also I still need to try and optimize air throw OD mugen combos a bit more. I think I can get three waves but combo timer is already tight on what I uploaded.

I plan on at least subbing izayoi once 2.0 hits as well, Hakumen will always be my hakuna matata guy though.

 

 

Looks like it's up to us to figure out optimal Mugen combos then...  Surprising that the Japenese players haven't figured out this tech yet.

I just saw him using Hakumen a few weeks ago.

Oh cool.  Maybe she's his sub then.

While probably not optimal combos, the ones in the Mugen explanation and analysis video could be a good starting point: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24777704 / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVVE7mNNtFs

I suspect they'll look somewhat similar since Hakumen has to use up lots of Magatama in order to power up Shippu (oh how I miss you Extend days when Shippu was just a flat 4k in Mugen, dat 6D > Mugen > Shippu for unburstable 5.4k).
