Yukikaze spam is a bit rampant right now because

1. It catches low now.

2. It's more ambiguous.

3. It's an substitute for jD

Remember, you had two types of Hakumen player in CS1, the real ones, and the jD spammers. What you are seeing is probably jD spammers.

Out of curiosity, has anyone optimized low magatama carry pieces yet? As good as hotaru>AD is, it takes too many magatamas to be reliable for most situations (unless the distance limitation isn't as severe as I'm making it out to be). The only variation I know of is 5A>6A>5A push, which isn't bad but doesn't really give you a good position after both of the players recover.

Awesome, material to add to the CS2 combo thread. I'll get to work on it once I have time. :D

Best low mag carry, as far as I've seen, seems to be: [stuff] -> 5a -> 6a -> 5a -> j.2a -> AD j.2a -> j.C

Hotaru has great carry potential all on its own, but I can't say if it's efficient. FC can lead to some great damage + corner if your position on-screen is right for it.

looking for a hotaru opening is unreliable. Any variation of X>renka>kishuu>2C>hotaru>AD cost too many magatama (not to mention the spacing between renka and hotaru cause a prolonged meter gain stoppage, causing even more problems).

Besides the one already listed, the only other thing is the old anything into enma, but losing jC>jC takes that back to CT level carry.

Has anyone tried enma>j2C>5C>kishuu>2C>j2A? WIth the better proration, it may be possible to score a legit knockdown through that and get a reliable mix-up game at the middle of the screen.

Yeah that's Fructose.

edit: I just google'd the phone number too. I laughed heartily when I saw it was from Hanasaku Iroha.

Apologies if someone has posted this already, but there is a small section in the latter part of the vid that has Fuzzy guard. It's only one variation (ignore the starter>j2A btw, that's just junk), and you can also fuzzy with 5B. I still want to know if 5A qualifies.

Everything else in the vid has been done already I believe.

Solid Hakumen but this guy is a good example on how your opponent's can bait your catches.
