Airk Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Why shouldn't he have problems vs zoners? That's business as usual for grapplers. The bad thing about Tager is that he's not that threatening even up close. Uh, welcome to like 3 games ago. Tager is scary as hell up close now. This is actually the problem with the balancing they've done on Tager - he has a few matchups where it's like "Whee, I can do nothing, and I have to somehow get in/catch them TWICE (because the first time I do, it's burst time)" but most of the buffs they seem to like to give him are "Here are more ways you can screw the people who actually have to fight you in throw range." They need to come up with some tools/changes that influence his ability to A) Get through steins/swords/bats and B) Stay on top of Valk/Tao/Hazama, who all generally laugh at magnetism. Secret tip: Fix magnetism.
Luminos564 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks Sourenga. Question though: are these character changes supposed to be permanent or just early previews of the Loketest changes? I mean, I imagine that things like input changes, Kokonoe's Graviton being changed to a "stock" type drive and etc. are gonna stick around, but what about other stuff like that Gauntlet Hades follow-up?
Dreiko Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Everything is up in the air. That's why they do the tests.
Luminos564 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Everything is up in the air. That's why they do the tests. Works for me. Now let's see what kind of changes they have lined up for Mu-12 and Noel. I've grown rather fond of the latter as of late.
Fujiwara Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 where are my platinum nerfs so I can slit my throat
Dreiko Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 where are my platinum nerfs so I can slit my throat Luna dies in cp. Now only Sena voice is available. *hears cries of every plat playerever*
D.R.F. Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Personally I dont think they know what to do with rags anymore. This is the second time they touch gauntlet hades and they do NOTHING else. But thats probably for the best
Luminos564 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Luna dies in cp. Now only Sena voice is available. *Pops open a champagne bottle. Oh I'm sorry was that not a cause for celebration? Ah screw it, I'll still drink to that. Anyway, wonder what their plans are for Haku-men now. I mean, what could they even do to him than what was already done in 1.1?
Stellarcircle5 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Personally I dont think they know what to do with rags anymore. This is the second time they touch gauntlet hades and they do NOTHING else. But thats probably for the best I don't see it being that bad. Ragna is still a really competent character. Now if Extend Ragna were to return...
Dreiko Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Tsubaki needs gunblaze and fafnir. Just rip em from Order Sol and give em to her, throw a few feathers on top and call it a day lol.
Fujiwara Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I'd actually love if they did that. Tsubaki Fafnir would be pretty hype They're already ripping shit from bedman and throwing them on celica why not go the extra step while you're at it give tsubaki the thumbs down win pose
D.R.F. Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Give her action charge and shit. Lol god I would to watch her explode shit from her special moves:D. I dont need any changes from rags, especially after playing hyde-.-
Diveman Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 So Amane is gonna be top this time right? right mori!?
StylisH Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Uh, welcome to like 3 games ago. Tager is scary as hell up close now.

Secret tip: Fix magnetism. In the interest of a biased party, I'd like to vote no on that issue

Wild Candy Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I like the few Makoto changes they announced so far. I hope she gets more buffs. #BuffMakoto
CurseSword Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I wanted some buffs for Ragna :c Only buff Belial Edge (?) u n u
Stellarcircle5 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Can we talk about how Guard Cancel OD is a stupid fucking idea? "Shit, I'm being pressured, better use this reversal to do 50% of your life."
D.R.F. Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I wanted some buffs for Ragna :c Only buff Belial Edge (?) u n u Why would they buff something they nerfed?-.- and yes block cancel OD Is absolutely retarded.
Surf Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Valkenhayn - "Himmel Wolf" is now a normal techable throwAzrael - "Growler Field" now has only projectile invincibility. Pfffft You all do realize normal OD has 1+15 startup right. And most reversal attempts won't hit until the 7 or 8th frame. That's a 23-24 frame gap that will most likely result in your normal/special whiffing and then you being able to just block afterwards. The entire screen freezes so of course the opposing player wouldn't be inclined to actually press something. Why else would you OD Cancel but to try to reversal attempt/get away. Only characters I can actually see it being bullshit with is Arakune Bang Litchi, if she can control staff while in blockstun. Don't remember if she can or not Mu Tager maybe It would help an almost dead Celica a lot, since she'll start recovering health instead of dying to the next hit/confirm. Its a dumbass addition but I don't think it'll be that bad
RifleAvenger Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Can we talk about how Guard Cancel OD is a stupid fucking idea?"Shit, I'm being pressured, better use this reversal to do 50% of your life."I'm inclined to agree. My regular playing partner in GG plays Baiken, so I'm used to guard cancels. But Baiken doesn't like, auto-murder you off a guard cancel. Some of these supers are crazy good starters too (looking at you Houtenjin, and OD Terumi whatever).
