[CSE] Lambda Video Thread v2

Purotosu doing some new and crazy stuff. Insane (AA) 2DD > 4B hitconfirms, j.D CH > (Dashing) 5DD > 236C confirms, and just very solid play overall. He's still delaying Lambda's Drive beautifully. He's fond of ending Lambda's air ender early, and doing 214D(~C) or 214B after to keep the opponent immobile (depending on positioning). He has a weird corner set-up with X > 236C > Dashing 214A. I think it's something worth playing around with. He's definitely one of the best Lambda's out there.

Athena Nihonbashi 3 on 3

Lambda vs Fenrich (Jin)

Interesting idea to do (corner) X > 214D~C > 2DD > 4B[#2 only] > 2DD > air ender. Besides the extra Heat, it's something to consider if you've got a combo with proration you're uncomfortable with.

Yuuki vs Rachel and Relius

Naga vs Mu and Nezu (Bang)

He did 5DD > 236B > RC > 5DD > 236C > IAD j.2C. Not anything actually new, but interesting to see used...

Naga vs Rin Hime (Rachel) and Zagi (Arakune)

At ~3:05, the Arakune does a very smart, well-timed Counter Assault... Naga trying 2DD > 4B[#2 only] > 2DD in corner combo's as well. Quick tech > 236B was interesting.

Something Yuuki and Naga did was, although technically not new either, cut short the air ender with (d)j.DD > (d)j.214D, instead of (d)j.2DD > (d)j.214D. It's handy for positioning.

Tachikawa Singles

Lots of strong players at this tournament.

Yoshiki vs Sekido (Hazama)

I guess Yoshiki was hoping that the opponent might burst at 5DD > 236236D, so he delayed it a bit? With the amount of Heat he had (35), it's just possible that going for a burst-safe 5DD > 236236D combo could have KO'ed Sekido anyway. Something to think about, in any case.

He also did 2A > 214A, hoping for a GC. That's something I remember discussing with Nedel before. It's a relatively safe way to try and GC the opponent, hoping that they don't Barrier since it's just a 2A. It also keeps them somewhat locked down in the Gravity field.

He went for anti-air CH 5A > 5C combo's. The good thing about that route is you can very easily cancel into 2C and get away if it's blocked.

Maman vs Hiro

Right near the beginning, you see Maman go for a 236D~C from fullscreen after an air combo, hoping to get Hiro to block it. Although 236D~C is still not necessarily a bad thing to do, you can avoid the 236D~C if you neutral tech a bit later.

In the second round, Maman is stuck in the corner very early, with ~93 seconds left. Although he eventually got out of there, it's still important to note how easily he got in the corner...

If you're playing in a mirror against another Lambda who likes using 236D a lot in blockstrings, you can just use j.2DD to poke them out of it.

Yoshiki vs Goro (Makoto)

Lots and lots of zoning. That's how Lambda's should play when they're not comfortable with some characters or players up close. 236A is very good outside of combo's and pressure.

Yoshiki vs Kimura (Litchi)

Interesting combo choice of 2B > 3C > 236B > Dashing 2A > 6A > TK. I guess with a Dashing 2A, you don't have to worry about the Dashing 5A/6A problem, or the Dashing 5B/6B problem either. It's worth playing around with.

Tachikawa 3 on 3

Lots of strong players again, as should be expected of Tachikawa. I'm pretty sure that Gentarou is Purotosu.

Ragna vs Maman

Ragna vs Gentarou (Purotosu)

I haven't seen a midscreen X > TK > Dashing 5DD > 2DD in a long time. Full combo was TK > RC > Dashing 5C[8] > 214A > 4B[#2 only] > 2DD > TK > Dashing 5DD > 2DD > 6C. Might as well be mentioned since it happened during the match, but if the opponent doesn't tech, and 236D connects at a very low proration value, just follow-up with a delayed 214D~C for oki.

Kanzou (Makoto), Yoshiki, and Takeyama (Noel) vs Gentarou (Purotosu)

He's using a lot of Gravity Seed to keep the opponent locked down. Ending a blockstring in 214A, especially in the corner, looks like a good idea. There doesn't seem to be much that the opponent can do about it. It might be obvious to some, but if you're using 214D~C from near fullscreen, and want to try and force the opponent to block it, you can do a (Dashing) 6D to catch their jump.

Purotosu bursted at X > j.DD > j.2DD > (burst) > dj.DD against Yoshiki.

There's the 2DD > j.2C burst punish (during the Noel match) that I posted about some time ago. Just hold back during j.2C, in case the opponent decides to burst there.

He also did a midscreen 3C > 236D oki > Dashing 4B[#2 only] > (236D hits) > Dashing 2B > 2C > TK against Yoshiki. I never tested if the 2B would connect there, but now I know it does. Just keep in mind that you'll probably miss a lot of the 2C hits, so jump cancel early. You could do the air ender there as well, but I guess Purotosu tried a TK because he wants to land as early as possible.

Dora (Bang) vs Jinren

Maman vs Momoiro (Rachel)

Gentarou (Purotosu) vs Momoiro (Rachel), Goro (Makoto)

Still doing the X > 236C > Dashing 214A in corner combo's. I think it's to prevent IAD's out and/or Wind teching options with Rachel. I guess he did the 6A > IAD away burst bait because Rachel bursts differently (using Wind). Against Goro, he did X > 236C > Dashing 3C > 214A, which IMO, is a better universal option to prevent corner escapes.

In general, it seems like Purotosu prefers screen positioning to oki and finished combo's. So he'd use 3C > 236B, instead of 3C > 236D oki, and do X > 2DD > 6C, instead of 2DD > air ender for positioning. Given how much he uses Gravity Seed to lockdown the opponent, I suppose it complements his mobile playstyle by giving him a lot of room to run back on, or by keeping the opponent trapped near the corner.

Here's my playlist for my matches offline that I occasionally record.

This playlist is for Lambda mirrors that I record.

Summit of BlazBlue 3 on 3 (Preliminary)

Some Tsukasa matches and a few other Lambda's.

2:37 Lambda vs Jin

5:00 Lambda vs Carl

12:00 Hakumen vs Lambda

29:44 Jin vs Lambda

39:23 Tsukasa vs Eesuke (Carl)

- The Carl did an unsafe move and backdashed after. Tsukasa used 236C to beat the backdash. I really wouldn't recommend it, but it's interesting that he chose to do that...

- 6C(against Nirvana) > 236D > (Carl jumps) 6DD > 236C

- A lot of the things that Tsukasa does are quite smart: 6A > 5C[8] > 6C for more Heat, instead of 6A > 6C.

41:22 Tsukasa vs Machi (Ragna)

- A gimmick that Tsukasa likes doing 3C > 236B > delay RC > Dashing 2B > 3C > 214A/236B

- Playing around with some more practical start-of-round 3C CH combo's with 236A (as opposed to 236D. 236A is the better option, but it's more difficult to use).

- He was doing a lot of (X > 236C) > 6A > TK > 6A > 5C[8] > 6C, instead of just 5C[8] > 6C > 236C > Dashing 5C[8] > 6C > 236C. Good for Heat Gain.

57:17 Tsukasa vs Jin

- X > 236C > 6A > TK > 3C > 236D

Most of these things weren't really new from Tsukasa, but it's always good to highlight these things. Plus, not many Lambda's do what he does since he's a lot more ambitious.

Athena Nihonbashi 3 on 3

Carl vs Tsukasa

Kinji (Taokaka) vs Tsukasa

(midscreen) j.2C CH > Dash under 2C > j.C > j.2C > j.214D > RC > 236C.

- As an air-to-air hitconfirm, I find this combo choice interesting. He was a bit too high for it to work, but you can fix that by delaying some of the gatlings.

- Depending on your positioning, you could probably do 236C > 236D > 214D~C > 214D, or any lesser variation.

(corner) X > j.C > j.2C > j.214D > 5A > 6A > TK > etc.

- He tried this, but j.214D whiffed, so in cases where the opponent is too high, I recommend just omitting the j.2C and going for j.C > j.214D > 5A. Or you could just always go for j.C > j.214D > 5A.

Not much to say. He did admirably well against the Taokaka, at least.

First match is Hakumen vs Tsukasa. For the most part, it seemed like Tsukasa ignored the match-up and disrespected his opponent. If done far away enough, 236D(~C) can help run down the clock without too much risk.

Akihabara NEC Qualifier

Yoshiki? vs H.H (Mu)

Kaicho (Relius) vs Yoshiki

MEN Tenchou (Hakumen) vs Yoshiki

Yoshiki vs Abareddo (Mu)

I liked his use of 5DD > 4DD > 4B in the corner. I'd have to guess his opponents expected a Parser. It also helps that he was using Parsers quite a bit after Drive in those matches.

I was a bit surprised at his corner Throw combo choices. Instead of Throw > 2DD > 6C > 236C > Dashing 5C[2] > 6C > 236D, he'd continue to spam 5C and go into another 236C. He was also using X > 236C > Dashing 3C > (236D) instead of a TK feint.
