wait, really??? I thought tager was supposed to be looking pretty decent now what happened?

He's better, but most matchups are generally the same.

And he still has problems vs Arakune & Co.

Does anyone have a truly good match-up versus Arakune?

^/\

It's not just the instant block changes - they've clearly done some 'under the hood' changes to her normals to remove holes in her blockstrings, and allow some things to combo that never did before.

well that is generally something that happens in most FG sequels.

Lambda? Hazama? Superior zoners just walk all over him.

He does better when he can actually get in close, but that still doesn't solve the fundamental problem that he has major issues getting in close without having to commit to some predictable trajectory.

That's not the point. The point is that A) She has more changes than just the IB change and B) we don't really know what they are.

Lambda, Mu, Hazama, dare I say Rachel and maybe even Taokaka.

Whoa that Haku combo in the last vid was hot!!! I like seeing how unique Hakumens game has gotten. It will definitely require more skill to play him.

I tend to think that the IB nerf was so good for her that it out balance the nerfs she had in the loctests. Sure there are changes we probably don't know about, but the IB change was really what did it.

EDIT: if Jin gets 6B ch in the corner just leave, it's going to hurt.

and why was the other jin doing 236A? was he trying to combo it? or was he just dropping combos?

Wow this Ora guy is pretty awesome. I love watching him play, he does so much creative stuff.

I'm sure it helped a little, but it's really NOT what made her viable. In CS1 you can reversal her out of her "blockstrings" WITHOUT IB if you have a frame 1 invincible move - which means that Ragna, Jin, Lambda, Litchi, Makoto, Mu, herself and Noel can stuff her without even needing meter (okay, Lambda needs gravity gauge) and Tager, Arakune, Bang, Tao, Hazama, and probably Valk can all knock her out of a blockstring using a super...without needing to IB. IB is gravy for punishing Tsubaki "blockstrings" (Other than 5AAAAAA and 2AAAAA) in CS1.

Is the instant block change relevant for her? Probably, but it sure wasn't the decider.

OMG that modded CT Ragna story retelling was aweeeesommme. That Ragna vs. Haku fight was just pure epicness.

I also wtf'd at the end but so awesome

Posted

That CT thing was definitely awesome.

I actually wanted to do something like that for CS' True End, but now I'm not going to even bother lol.

Lol they used two of jins "unused" moves pretty interesting. The ending of the final fight was good but VS hakumen was the highlight.

In like....maybe late 80's or 90's he says setsuna,ginro,and shadow strike or something. In the video i heard him use the first and third.

They MUST do a Ragna CS story retelling. Just the thought of Ragna vs Hazama... there's too much epic potential there, it's a crime for it NOT to be tapped.

@Hecatom: lol that they did. The 'sol vs ky'-style intro was pretty cool.

Posted

But we need a CS2 for PC though. Arc Sys. Screw 3DS. PC port naow for CS Ragna retelling.

Well I'm happy I wasn't the only one who liked this modded video-I also had link to other one where guy gave special DD for all characters, I'll share link once I find it.
