dummyacct7 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Her drives are a massive part of her game, as each gives her different options for damage, pressure, mixup, reversals... pretty much everything. Just because you don't know what you're going to get doesn't make what you do get any less useful.
Sharakonta Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Bombs And missiles let you Zone a bit, Cat staff gives you massive reach, Hammer Great for Combo's and Breaking Primers, Frying Pan Has great untech time, Bat gets you outta pressure
Halcyone3 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 first plat day: MAMI CIRCULAR!!!! i swear they were spamming that more than noel uses drive online. I dunno, im getting the feeling the scrub-base has been getting dumber every game. plat's pretty fun, she's making me tear my hair out on some combos, but overall pretty good.
YukiBlue Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Mami Circular spammers are free. When I first got Platinum, was shocked at how much Damage it did. but in reality, just go on the defensive against Platinum all game and punish her for 50% of all her moves. Also, watch out for 5C, Surprisingly good poke. Also, Platinum has Shota legs, Shota voice, and a Fujo face. This is some sick, twisted Guro concoction. Edited June 3, 2011 by YukiBlue
A.X.I.S. Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 So she's a Tim Duncan? Ahh...That's interesting. I think my Tager play will make the move to Plat smooth. Anyways her drives are weird. From all the videos I watch of her....Is her drive moves like an RPG character? I mean she uses multiple items in battle. As a man who mains Plat (She is my second main) I will tell you that no amount of Tager fundamentals will make playing Plat easy. You really need a good idea of how to space and dodge stuff, all I do with Plat is rush down and dodge and let me tell you this: It sucks fighting Noel and Makoto with her. Seriously can't get those fuckers off. Edit: I generally don't win off luck with plat, I just use what I got most the time.
SolarMisae Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I am SO happy to finally have this adorable loli unlocked on my character select screen~! I knew I wanted to play her but didn't expect to have so much trouble deciding who to main. I've been playing Mu for quite awhile but man Plat makes me wanna switch. They're both my mains now. Her bubble combos are insanely fun, and her air dash is the cutestfuckingthing ever. Also dat 6B. :D
Swallow Moon Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Day 2 and I already feel like a terrible Platinum lol. I'm not used to a rushdown characters as I used to main Lambda. >_>
Urichinan Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 IAD > Swallow Moon > Cancel Into Barrier is amazing.
soujiro seta Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Is it just me or is plat vs top 4 (Jin, haz, noel, mak) 3.5-6.5 in their favor jin/haz: 100% safe, they gain heat just by walking across the screen. They can pressure you for free, and there is nothing you can do about it. 0 risk high reward for them. mak: don't get hit by 2a noel: D, 4.5k off anything regardless of screen placement, lol invul or am I just doing something wrong?
A.X.I.S. Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Jin isn't that bad, I can normally run it even, I just need more match up exp. Noel is bad but doable, just stay away from her. Makoto your screwed but you can manage once she blocks something. Hazama is rage inducing, chains ruin summoning and he pressures you for free.
toanenadiz Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Day 2 and I already feel like a terrible Platinum lol. I'm not used to a rushdown characters as I used to main Lambda. >_> I know your pain
Sakaku Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I can finally change my avatar. ... But too lazy to do it lol.
Deviru Dahlia Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Bat is gdlk. Still gonna main dat illegal drivan, but I'm positive I wanna sub with Plat. So much fun.
IceColdCombo Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I can finally change my avatar. ... But too lazy to do it lol. This is awkward.
OmniSScythe Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Is it just me or is plat vs top 4 (Jin, haz, noel, mak) 3.5-6.5 in their favor mak: don't get hit by 2a or am I just doing something wrong? Something wrong, with the right spacing you can easily make the match a living hell for Makoto... or at very least work for it. On neutral you should rarely let them get at 2A range.

snipingsnipe Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 This is awkward. At first I was confused, then I looked at your avatars and lol'd
Swallow Moon Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 New avatar. Have a spare Lambda one in case I epically fail as Platinum. :J
Starlight777 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Speaking of the top 4 characters here's what I think. Jin: Ice Bitch is well, Ice Bitch. Despite being back to CT levels of stupidity he still has a few exploitable holes in pressure, despite the window of opportunity being small. Also whatever you do DON'T JUMP in on him freely, he is a retarded walking anti-air that will make you eat 2-3k each time for doing so. Also the bat is your friend here. Hazama: Seriously fuck his drive, it is seriously irritating trying to catch him when he can do anything he wants from fullscreen. If you do get your hands on him, please do unspeakable things to him in the corner and don't stop. Noel: I've only fought bad D mashers so no clue here. Makoto: She's so rare I've really got nothing to say.

I love you. Now I need to find 8 dollars for her.
YukiBlue Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) It fucking sucks playing against a good Makoto with anyone. I was going to suggest a counter against Hazama, But I really can't think of one. Played the Matchup both sides everytime, and Platinum draws the short straw everygame. IB Chains, Hope for the best. Although, When I'm playing Haz, When I come across a Platinum, the only thing that fucks me over is the bat. So...Keep it handy? Edited June 3, 2011 by YukiBlue
A.X.I.S. Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I mystic momo my bat like its a anti air because that shit only works when: A. They don't know I have it. B. Heat of the moment. If I have momentum I assure you that is gonna be a combo tool.
Moy_X7 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I'm not gonna lie, I mash bat whenever I'm getting pressured or combo'd. Other than that, I fucking rush people down and smack them in the face with it. Stupidity aside, it sometimes works to bait anti-airs and it's an ok anti-air itself. Like Axis said though, you're better off throwing it away and using it as an anti-air or for lulzy MM combos. In terms of usefulness, the items go like this (IMO): 1. Cat Missiles (Miracle Jeanne that shit) 2. Frying Pan 3. Cat Bombs (Miracle Jeanne that shit) 4. Hammer 5. Cat Smashy Thingy (Miracle Jeanne that shit) 6. Bat I feel the power whenever I use Miracle Jeane with Missiles and Cat Face... "GO ON, PUSH A BUTTON MUTHAFUCKA, I DARE YOU". It's not easy winning matches with her but hell is she fun to use. I just wish that some of her normals were faster and had less recovery, specially j.C and 5B. j.C has mediocre range, a lot of start-up, and shit hit-stun. j.B has a lot of start-up and a shitload of recovery. I also seriously wish that they had made 5C the 5B and vice-versa. Reason being is that 5Bs usually get more gatlings, if 5C was 5B in terms of gatlings, then she would be hell of a lot better.
A.X.I.S. Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 J.C hit stun is huge, and its easy to pick up. IMO the items for me is. Cat missles (run bitch.) Hammer (fast fall! primers! loops!) Bombs (AA bombs.) Frying pan (5K instant overhead combo is delish) Cat bat (respect me D:) Bat. Miracle Jeane to me was best when I had Missles, Hammer, and bombs. 5B is match up specific, I found that you should never use it on Ragna, amazing that it works ok-ish on Jin. The hardest thing about plat is making your opponent respect, after they eat 5k for the 30th time the start trying to block stuff. D:
