[CS2] Ragna General Discussion

[Final Ultima]

Actually, I find that j.B has a decent enough hitbox that you can still catch them with it just as well if you regular jump. In fact, I got into the habit of just regular jumping after a while because I used to High Jump during the throw and 2D, 5C, 5D (1 hit) versions and it would always create some horrible whiffing issues on Rachel and Carl.

Also, I've been working on the Continuum Shift combos thread. What does everyone think of the layout? I'm thinking that when the console version gets released, I'll open the topic and encourage people to put down whatever decent combos they find even if they're already in the opening post as long as they provide notes (what characters it works on, things to consider regarding execution etc). That way, in the opening post, next to the difficulty I can have a little [notes] tab that directs to the appropriate post.

Sounds good. It's looking great, thanks

[Izanagi SOL777]

this still confuses me sorry but after grabbing/6C then use 214B, how can I get 5B to connect? and when Rapid Canceling 214A then doing 6D how do I cancel it into dash 3C?

[Final Ultima]

Assuming you meant 214B after throw or 6C and 3C instead of 3D, it's all in the Ragna the Bloodedge 101 FAQ.

Check the first question in the "Gauntlet Hades" section and the fourth question in the "Mada owari ja nee zo" section respectively.

yeah my bad and thanks

[smooshman]

couldn't you combo the belial edge like this: 6a> jc>jd>jd> ID> RC> BE or am I completely retarded because you can't RC ID? sorry I don't know Ragna to well he's only my sub, though that's being generous

You might be able to do something like that, but it would be extremely pointless considering you can just combo into BE normally without using an RC. and anything can be RC'd as long as it touches opponent.

well I thought it would do more damage... or something.

[IkeTakeda]

halllllllllllllllllllll no. That pointless. You rather carnage scissorssss

[smooshman]

halllllllllllllllllllll no. That pointless. You rather carnage scissorssss

I'm sorry... I don't main Ragna and I thought it would be plausible to use

[IkeTakeda]

for kicks no. I rather Astral :D

[smooshman]

so does the combo not do much damage for 50 heat

[VR-Raiden]

Yeah, there would be much better uses for the same meter.

[smooshman]

Yeah, there would be much better uses for the same meter.

thanks I main Jin so I'm not very knowledgable on these kinds of things like proper RC usage and "efficient use of heat" lol yeah right...

[Kain]

I wonder why you'd even want to RC ID in a combo in the first place. Like everyone has said, yes, you can just BE in a combo without having to spend 50 Heat to do it. Yes, there are better uses for 50 Heat (22C loops come to mind). ...

[lxMetalSonicxl]

Don't mind smooshman. He's just....well...new.

[IkeTakeda]

nah Carnage scissor is betta.

[Shiawase]

Is there a color palette for Ragna's Continuum Shift colors? Or are they relatively the same as Calamity Trigger?

I just heard from another thread that Ragna has a combo that leads into his AH, is this true?

Yes it is, here's how:

JCC = jump cancel cancel, basically you put the astral in after jump canceling so it comes out before you actually jump.

[Bloodcrave]

just watch the combo video by tetsu, you can combo it off normal throw, back throw, and after 5D

[Final Ultima]

Well, that's for Continuum Shift. In Continuum Shift, it's a lot easier to hit with because you can special cancel into it now.

[Sol.Badguy]

Ah ty! which do you find the easiest?

[Prototype909]

Easiest combo into Astral (IMO), or at least the one with the least effort In the corner, enemy crouching -> 6B -> 6C -> DC -> 2141236
