[CP] Amane Nishiki Gameplay Discussion

[Starlight777]

GG2 is canon

So it's a sequel with a genre shift?

[KayEff]

story-wise it's a direct and legitimate sequel

[Pete278]

Also here's zombie Amane. Normally I don't like the zombie palettes but this one's pretty nice

Apparently Ganguro Amane is pretty popular

Can't see the picture.

There's an Amane on the game carnival stream guys.

I didn't close the second tag, picture was still fine.

[C0R]

I'm 99% sure that Litchi cannot be pulled while in her stance, but I'd need confirmation from someone familiar with the matchup to be completely sure.

If she can't be pulled, then there's hope for Amane as well.

Itsuu stance is unaffected by magnetism, there are other instances of moves having a higher "movement rule" that overpowers magnetism, such as Mu's inability to lose or gain vertical height during her air specials.

[Starlight777]

Now I see it. Best Zombie color period. The colors actually match for once lol.

So Azrael's Growler Field move can absorb all of Amane's drive moves.

[WillWork4Instal]

Okay, so if Growler Field absobs D moves, the Tager's Sledge hurts them too? And C moves won't be Sledged/Growler'd right?

[SoWL]

Turns out that Amane's AH ends with a rakugo curtain closing on the screen. Now I'm going to sing Joshiraku ED each time someone uses it.

And it occurred to me that his punishment/torture in the Relius AH comes from his dislike of being indoors.

[WillWork4Instal]

Yeah, I saw the stream this morning, no footage of Amane (no Carl either ).

My wish was granted while I was away. Just watching the footage now. Just some question and things I noticed.

6C/5C beating Volante is odd.

I like that we can punish an air burst.

Does backdash/back fabhop have invincibility?

Did he drop the combo by not using 2C?

Wait, the hand grab special isn't only from long range? Can you control it to stay near or does it target the opponent?

Can you foward Zettou cancel into j.2D?

That's all I'm asking for now. I'll see the other 2 parts of the footage later. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

[Krusiv]

Now we have a video that shows Amane's astral on all of the characters! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYPoj3qTz2g#t=1m52s Timestamped to Amane's part

[Aloci]

I'm fairly certain that you can't control it. It's just that it won't leave the screen when you do it in the corner.

So even if Amane took a few steps back and did it, it would still come out at the same spot.

Hi; everyone, I am a new member of this group. I visited this site for about 2 years but I never created an account since now. I really want to be part of this community. I chose this thread, because I am a new fan of Amane playstyle and Azrael a bit. BTW forgive any mistake I can do, english isn't my first language, neither my second one and I am from Europe. Plz, thx.

[Avrasil]

Am I the only one hyping this character? :D He looks awesome~ gonna be fun to test out!

I like Amane playstyle too. And I think he is one of the character, you can have fun with for a long time. Hopefully we can get the game in Europe before Summer. Why are we always the last region for some games release?

o.0 Dat chip. I mean, I already knew he had good chip, but really? Carl might as well not have been blocking. Also, the best amane I've seen so far.

[Starlight777]

It looks like he took a whole 2k through chip lol. With the right oki setups he can probably take more or drain a whole barrier. He is gonna be so fun to learn.

Yes this is correct. There's only one set range outside of the corner but this allows it to be a great combo tool when you have them cornered.

I'm very curious about what our followup options from it will be though. A bit more damage is always nice but honestly I'm really hoping for drill oki to keep them pressured in the corner for even longer.

[SolarMisae]

And it occurred to me that his punishment/torture in the Relius AH comes from his dislike of being indoors.

Actually, with the way the cage was designed and his pose...it reminds me more of an old style brothel reference. Like he's being put on display.

I'm personally hoping for some kind of Drill loop.

But I don't know if we'd be able to get drills out fast enough.

Yeah I'm almost certain that is what the Astral is referencing. Good eye!

[sinder]

why o why is this character a man???

[Mightfo]

why o why is this character a man???

because men can be "pretty" too~

[Rorshock520]

I died when I saw how much he can chip...

>_>

<_<

Suddenly I want to play him.

[SolarMisae]

The chip he does is insane. People gonna be getting mad salty when they lose to it. I can't wait.
