Valthazeryus Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I can't really see it that well, but that Bang/Hakumen Akira goes by this NESiCAxLive name: クズロットオー(?) followed by pixelated kanjis I can't really see that well. I miss Akira the Tager. Something tells me he joined a band or something instead. He always looked like a rockstar from his photos.

Ctrlaltwtf Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 That's one hell of a trophy, where was this taken/what was it taken for?
Valthazeryus Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 It was a regionals tournament, if I remember correctly. It was a 4v4 tournament and Akira's team were the winners, hence the trophy.
NumeroGaijin Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Lol why are all Tager players skinny? Guess there is a big guy in all of us.
Ctrlaltwtf Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Standing 720 O.o Pity it doesn't work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnNj3JfHjLg#t=10m20s Same vid crouching 720 holy shit. I love it when a commentator makes sounds like this lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnNj3JfHjLg#t=19m20s Edited February 28, 2013 by Ctrlaltwtf
Henaki Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 The second one was buffered from the 2a, that's still pretty crazy. Is it the same standing 720 method from the CT days? Canceling the last frame before you jump into D and then finishing the motion and doing C right after?

Canceling the last frame before you jump into D and then finishing the motion and doing C right after? I have no idea. My Tager is no where near Standing 720-tier. This Tager player is called Atorasu (Atlas?) and might be worth adding to the notable players list.
Zoular Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 The 2nd was really~ delayed, but yes it was buffered from 2A I have no clue how the first one was performed it happened too fast, I can only guess that was a charge

I'm sure he's mashing 720 buffer on each one of them. Edited February 28, 2013 by Ctrlaltwtf
Valthazeryus Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 The first one was just a walking 720. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4t3vzEJWUM
Valthazeryus Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Holy shit. He's alive and still winning 1st place.
Valthazeryus Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Yeah. :/ But I can't seem to find if they recorded it or anything. I believe Feb 15th was the tournament day?
NumeroGaijin Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Hmm I knew it. He just probably doesn't want to be recorded. He does do things and does know things that the other Tagers don't even know. Even Yumura with his great wisdom and thought process when it comes to figuring crap out doesn't compare to Akira's formal way of playing Tager. It's like Yumura is that dude that does the cool crap and Akira is the guy who has the fundamentals and perfect neutral along with combining the cool stuff that Yumura does more legit. Yumura is scary if he gets a hit. Akira forces pressure which leads to hits and tourney type of situations. I dunno.....what do you guys think?
MooMooAkai Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Yumura is brain dead. He gave up on tager a while ago. As in, every time I watch him play he doesn't look like he gives 1 fuck. He plays Tager like he's Ragna. Look at every one of his matches with Nu. Quite frankly, I don't blame him. Tager doesn't get rewarded for baiting when every bait option is like 20/80 in the opponents favor. He doesn't have the luxury to go for random resets when he struggles to get in and get a hit. It's cool that we got that wtf gadget oki back but it still costs meter to do, still isn't guarenteed, and the change to atomic collider crippled a good chunk of his midscreen combo game. If Tager had some real magnetism and not this watered down BS that makes Magneto scoff in Mori's general direction then maybe he wouldn't have so many broken matchups and maybe players like Yumura would actually bother playing like losing wouldn't be a surprise. Edit: Yo I mash like hell with Tager so why do I care :V No respect from me.
mAc Chaos Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 wut Is Tager terrible again. Everybody was talking like he's going to be good this time.
MooMooAkai Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 It's weird. Cause Tager's winning ranbats and tourneys now but his tools are still lack luster, his neutral is still lackluster, magnetism is still a gimmick, but he's winning more? Fucking I don't know.. Maybe brain dead tager was meant to be all along
Manta Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 It's weird.

Maybe brain dead tager was meant to be all along Maybe we've got too used to seeing his weaknesses to properly compare them with his strengths. He does, after all, hit like a train and has one of the most advantageous 5As going.
mAc Chaos Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Well, he's a grappler. Isn't his neutral supposed to be bad? It's his up close game that's supposed to be good.
Tofu Warrior Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I'll never stop loving the character though. Maybe I'm a masochist.
TD Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Maybe we've got too used to seeing his weaknesses to properly compare them with his strengths. He does, after all, hit like a train and has one of the most advantageous 5As going. how often do trains get to hit people?
shigoshi Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 how often do trains get to hit people? Well sometimes trains can move all around and sometimes get you with magnets that then sees you getting ran over by the train over and over again. He is ether winning right now because we have no idea what is going on (since we all agree he has some really cool new stuff but also weird changes) OR he is legit now and no-one truly appreciates that. Grapplers always have a hard time and they can't all be like astaroth from SC (who to me is an amazing grappler power house character) so really it is up to us to play tager and decide where we will be then still be more awesome than any others because WE HAVE MAGNETS FOR HANDS! I personally think tager will be fun this time around. Maybe the collider change is a good thing and we just can't see what new toys we truly have to work with right now. (we lose collider but gain an Air buster, an air grapple, a upwards spark bolt and we have no idea what his overdrive can potentially do until we can get our grubby mittens on him.
