Godlike Assault Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Yes it does,even for Jin.You're even more scared of throws and he'll just trick you with a bullshit for a throw counter or reject miss.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 But I play Relius and Platinum. I may try Noel now that she's not wearing that stupid beret though. Sorry, I still want her to die in a fire Yes it does,even for Jin.You're even more scared of throws and he'll just trick you with a bullshit for a throw counter or reject miss. Arakune-ish, but not really, not unless he has you in curse, and Carl is lolno.
Vulcan422 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Hakumen's application of his astral makes Ragna's look fucking hard. Easiest way to land any Astral (except Arakune/Carl): knock opponent down and wait for them to mash DP like Street Fighter.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Hakumen's Asrtal is only useful on people who don't actively use their brain.
SolxBaiken Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 People hate counter supers? I find them to be the most fulfilling things to land, especially when your opponent is of a higher calibur~<3 Can't wait to land Touka's tomorrow....I hope :<
BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Well obviously they feel great, it's the ultimate punish. But it's hard to surprise someone with Hakumen's astral when his face is fucking flashing vibrantly. it's only useful for getting easy wins since you're opponent is afraid of pressing buttons once it's starts glowing.
Vulcan422 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I'm sure we all know the perfect conditions for making Astrals practical. 1. Have 100 Heat by end of the winning round and one Burst 2. Taunt the opponent once during the match 3. Input command when "FINISH HIM/HER!" or some other message appears (only when conditions are fulfilled)
Isuna Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I may try Noel now that she's not wearing that stupid beret ^this I personally found Akumetsu quite awesome, just for being so unique. Well, now that we can't use Zanshin anymore, more people will be caught of guard by Akumetsu?
BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Akumetsu is one of the best looking Astrals in the game, to activate is and use it is almost just as often as you see Tagers or Rachels Astral at high level play.
Valthazeryus Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I may try Noel now that she's not wearing that stupid beret though. I might play her, as well, because of the loss of the beret. Back in CT, I used to complain why the hell did she tie her hair up. Maybe it would've been fine if she didn't tie it up and still wore the beret. Next, I hope they change up Tsubaki's pants. Oh geez.
Isuna Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I think it looks partly cool. I mean, it starts off awesome, but I don't understand the reasoning behind all those black lines appearing. Apparently they are supposed to be sword slashes, but that's not Hakumen's style, right? Shippuu and Yukikaze are one-hit awesome damage, so I understand why Akumetsu should be something else. Also, it leaves opponent staggering, while e.g. Ragna completely destroys opponent. >_> And Arakunes new astral animations makes a blood rain.
SkyKing Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Hate that they changed Noel's astral to be a counter. Loses even more uses than her previous one. Also, going wait out this new Noel hypetrain and watching how many people are gonna jump off because she still plays like Noel. Not that I mind... :D
StarGazer Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Astrals still requires a burst icon right?
Valthazeryus Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Astrals still requires a burst icon right? The ones in all the videos have unused burst icons, so I would believe this is true.

mAc Chaos Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 What hype train, didn't you read the last few posts, everyone still hates her. http://antioch.snow-fall.com/files/members/mAc%20Chaos/zuntastic.png
Rishtopher Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I hated Noel so much but I loved her hat...it was the only part that I liked. I'm surprised to see that everyone hated it lol. I like that everyone got new astrals though. Or rather, I like that Carl got a new one that is hopefully a bit easier to use.
SkyKing Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 What hype train, didn't you read the last few posts, everyone still hates her. Ehhh, some things don't ever change. Noel army dwindling, and I personally don't mind too much lol.
YukiBlue Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 The Rachel changes just look so fun. Makes me want to OD on Skittles and Sugarcubes before chugging 2L of Cherry Coke and snorting sherbet sticks. It just looks that fun.
Manta Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 The Rachel changes just look so fun. Makes me want to OD on Skittles and Sugarcubes before chugging 2L of Cherry Coke and snorting sherbet sticks. It just looks that fun. Type 2 diabetes is that much fun?
Bloodsmoke Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Type 2 diabetes is that much fun? I don't know man, with rachel's overdrive fueling her silpheed, and with all that sugar, she'll be zipping all around the place. Which now has me thinking how rachel would act if she got sugar high.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I don't know man, with rachel's overdrive fueling her silpheed, and with all that sugar, she'll be zipping all around the place. Which now has me thinking how rachel would act if she got sugar high. Is Azrael's Astral a counter, because I know I read somewhere it was, but in Isuna's channel, when activated it didn't look like a counter, and just looked like a really fast Astral.
TD Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 rachel on a suger high would need spice and everything nice to enhance the effect. with all the ingredients together, she would then transform into... platinum?
Afro-Demon Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Anybody know when/if the next loke test is coming? I'm starting to get more and more curious about his fabulousness.
