Whoops I meant hurtbox my bad

[susano]

I really wish a certain asshole named Phantom Emperor would get a clue and stop harrassing me in lobbies.

[StylisH]

The anti air was a well known broken ass move xD reverse gatlings are a little more subtle but just as stupid imo. Can we just complain about Koko more?

In all honesty though, Koko still gives me less trouble than Valk or Tao. At least I can send ignis to eat fireballs and possibly CH her, Valk and Tao are just "lawl, we can fly".

We can't fly, but we glide very well

[TeeJay]

Can't tell if I had a connection lost at the point of victory or was rage-quitted on in the lobby. Shoutouts to CS Litchi in CP I suppose. I hope people aren't rage-quitting in online lobbies due to colored squares. I'll give it the benefit of doubt though. I was enjoying the matches even though I was losing most of them. Online ambiguous connections-- perhaps a disconnect. 

 

Earlier: lag so bad you can't do minute 1 Tsubaki bnbs or play neutral. 

[susano]

That sad moment when you're in a close match, you do an astral and random said stein ruins combo.

 

I'm looking at you Mu. -__-

FALLING, WITH STYLE!

FALLING, WITH STYLE!

 

Precisely.  Shame that I gave yet another movie reference even though it was a terrible movie and no one called it out

 

On a related note, 7 /4   FTW

This is the first iteration of the game that offers you rewards for playing ranked, albeit silly, and it's pretty much 100% 0bars in there.

One ranked match since EU release, ~30 more to go

[RifleAvenger]

"Lawl we can fly."

 

Valkenhayn?  More like Valkenplane.

[susano]

When the servers act up, matches are laggy and I can't block, let alone move.

Purple throws, anyone?

[Monarch]

Oh, how about this:

I'm a master at teching purple throws, but apparently, when I get purple grabbed with a 360/720

by Tager the netplay gods are all like: "Thou shalt not tech this throw!"

[NecroTheReaper]

Or it didn't read it as BC and was instead read as B>C, so you get purple grab CH'd.

When you purple throw them: Put controller down, go through War and Peace, do your taxes, come back to see them tech it

When they purple throw you: I'm sorry did you blink? Too late.

CA's being worse on hit than block. And screwing inputs while not in blockstun. And for being a universal defense system that doesn't share frame data between character.

it's not WORSE on hit. but the characters with the lower tier of counterassault (like rachel and relius) do have it pretty rough.

[NecroTheReaper]

I say worse since it only has 14f of hitstun, but I guess the mediocre pushback makes it slightly better. At least Rachel has wind tech and 6A xD. Thr most telegraphed IAD string plays S&M roleplay with Relius 2C. Tested a lot of characters, most have at least one way to kill any attempt to 2C. 5A may have to try being used I guess...

there's 14 frames where they can't do anything.. and then they have to tech. so there's at least 29 frames before they can do anything.

[NecroTheReaper]

Well that's one thing I learned. Didn't know how long tech animation lasted. Maybe its less about thr CA's themselves and more about when a move is in CH status. Thx Errol

[Errol]

counterhit is important, but so is the 14 vs 19 frames of untech time on different counter assaults. when you get hit by a ca you get blown back pretty fast, so you travel pretty far in 5 frames.
