CP Tager feels incredibly strong. That's for sure. 360C and 623 Spark Bolt are both very legit additions to his arsenal

Axis. When are you going to archive the CSEX matchup discussions and make the CP ones?

i forgot to mention this earlier but incase anyone that has the game doesn't know, there is a great new option in training mode to have the opponent always magnetized. It makes practicing mag combos so much easier.

Yep, it's great. Just what I always wanted in training mode.

I think it's the 4th item from the top, on the 3rd to last page. The 5th one is infinite spark.

My Japanese is super-rusty but I can make out katakana, which gets me through a lot of video game stuff. I just had to look for the entries that said "teiga." I was happy when I saw there were two such entries instead of one, because it could only mean one thing.

Also there is this translation guide for all menu options in the game. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?17814-CP-Menu-Translations

I was worried about not being able to navigate the menus properly, thank you for the link. My copy comes tomorrow, can't wait!

Your welcome, I'm glad to help. One thing i don't see mentioned on that page is the reset position for practice mode is just like Persona 4 Arena, just press select+left, right or down at the same time to change starting positions.

[A.X.I.S.]

Ok I should be updating stuff today.

If you have any good match videos then please post them in the video thread so I can get to them.

Any combo videos that has basic bnb's should be posted too.

Dead serious I am doing work today don't leave me hanging guys.

[A.X.I.S.]

Tager MU threads are up! Enjoy.

[Ctrlaltwtf]

Thanks, Axis.

Your welcome boo.

I remember a while ago, someone hypothesized that you would be able to do j.B xx Grand Punish, and that you could make the GP cross up. It turns out they were right. If you hit j.B on top of your opponent's head, the Grand Punish will hit cross up. If they block the Grand Punish, the momentum carries you pretty far away, but you'll probably still be punished for it. If they block the Grand Punish and you RC to make it safe, you can't follow up with any air normals because you're facing away from your opponent.

If it hits, you can then RC it into good damage, I have a 3.9K BNB, don't know if that's optimal though.

This gives Tager a fast, left-right mix up that's pretty hard to see. Of course, you can also vary the timing so that Grand Punish hits in front as well.

Man, i can't wait for my copy to arrive to start testing shit

[Blizzinam]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmcGbgav5JU Would somebody mind testing this against backdashes and doublejumps? I'm awful at recording and thus don't trust my own results. Edited October 30, 2013 by Blizzinam

There is an option in training mode so you dont have to keep re-magnetizing your your training dummy. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?17814-CP-Menu-Translations

It can be avoided by not air teching, and teching the ensuing purple throw. You could get a blue beat combo, but it'll scale like crazy.

So, Grand Punish is actually Gurren Punish, and it's english title is Crimson Meteor.

Yeah I... was noticing that in the English acting. Strange they'd completely change a name like that. Or maybe Tager is just yelling random crap for no reason.

I can accept "Gurren" cuz, well, random giant mecha references.

They didn't completely changed the name. Gurren means Crimson and Tager is the Red Devil. During his belly flop he is like a crimson meteor falling down out of the sky to squash you. Its Tager's homage to Kokonoes Astral Finish LOL!

[Ctrlaltwtf]

Gurren=Crimson and yeah it's him falling out of the sky on you so it fits (seeing as Tager is red in canon too lol)

[Darlos9D]

Gurren meaning "Red" doesn't mean a whole lot to me in the context of special move names. I figure whoever decided to call it "Gurren" during development intended it to be called "Gurren" and not "Crimson" or whatever else regardless of region, so I just wonder what the localization thought process was there.

Haku-men's "Gurren" is translated as "Crimson" too lol.

Crimson Meteor makes perfect sense to me, especially when you see Tager land it at the top of the screen.

Agh I'm not arguing about whether or not it makes sense I-

You know what, nevermind. Watch him slap Carl and Nirvana at the same time with it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_pn5Lf6KxQ&feature=youtu.be#t=13m46s
