[CT+CS1] Noel Match Videos & Discussion

[Bommlinger]

Only watched the 2nd video: I saw 10 seconds of the 2nd video and already I thought:" this dude seriously needs to lay off the D button". Honestly, you do. After just 46 seconds you did airdash, j.C > 2D 4 times. Basically that's what you're always doing, the whole match. IAD>j.C>2D into Drive mashing. Forget about that in an instant. You can do that once every 10 matches or so but not 10 times each match. @58 seconds: blockstring into ground super. WHY??? That's a guanranteed combo for your opp (although in this case you could have RC'ed, but you shouldn't do blockstring > groundsuper in the first place. Noone will ever get hit by that. You need to learn the basic stuff with her. Forget about the D button for now and learn her basic pressure game. You need to learn her basic BnB combos and throw whiff loop (you're trying, I can see it. practice it in pmode untill you won't mess it up never ever.) And you need to start hit confirming. AntiAir 6A > BnB. @2:02 silly burst. the combo was almost done and way to early for a burst (1st round too btw) @4:07 silly burst. no reason not to eat the combo there, there is no guarantee you'll finish him off after the burst and you lost the match because of that. Stop doing random 3C's when they're not guaranteed. insanely unsafe. Only do 3C on crouching opp's. Once again: you need to hit confirm this. All in all you got a long way ahead of you. 1.) lay off the D button for the next 6 weeks, unless you do her drive BnB. believe me, you don't need D moves at your stage. 2.) learn her BnB's so you'll never ever mess them up 3.) learn to hit confirm 6A, and combo's on crounching opps into 3C. 4.) learn when to burst. 5.) abuse more 5A, it's her best move. 6.) no random ground supers. All I can say is watch japanese videos and try to notice how their style differs from yours and try to adapt some of the things they do into your style of play.

I've been pretty bored lately and just picked a random spot in the CS Video thread and started watching. So if I come across some Noel vids I'll post em here. Not posting them because they stand out in any way, just for the sake of having them to see. The links themselves should work as I'm posting the URLs that the NicoVideo Redirector is giving me. Thanks go to Ryo for posting the Nico links up!

Might not be the best place for this (unsure):

2:20 to 2:25ish.. what is that slide that the Noel uses to bypass Ragna from the corner? Is that a Noel-specific manuever? If so, what is it? The only thing I could possibly say is that it is Assault Through, but the Noel was not in a Chain Revolver string - nor was there a followed up attack.

I'm largely new to more advanced things in the BB system/engine - so if this is a universal technique, I'd love to know (and know how to do it _

[ShinobiBrown]

It was her counter-assault. It's a universal mechanic but not everyone's counter assault do the same thing. Noel's acts as an assault through without attacking after the evasion maneuver.

Thank you! I'll need to start experimenting with that, since I'm sure it is useful in its own right.

Some matches (CT) of me online. Here's what I see:

1. better execution: some combos were missed due to lag, but a fair bit I failed to 6C and did 5C instead.

2. better hit confirming, especially on 5a

3. more 5a, more 5b, more 2b, less 2a

4. hit confirming 5D into d.6C > 214A > air combo instead of doing 5D > 236D

5. do more reps on haida (although kinda hard, especially online) or just (66C > BC) x n > drive juggle into wall followed by pressure

6. more creative block strings

7. stop blindly rushing to Ragna because his moves beats mine for the most part

you also need to take better advantage of corner combos.

Does anybody knows who are the noel's players in a-cho? there is a white noel there and a blue one. at first i though that the blue one is GUCCI (altought its not GC), but this one doesn't suit his style, plus she's losing all the time. GUCCI wouldn't do such a things. :P anyway, the white noel is quite good (but still not a star) and i keep in my quest for searching the best noel out there. (i refuse to accept R-1!!) oh, how i wish the legandary jam player will pick up this game (KA2, MIKE, and i'm sure there was at least one more)

[klops]

there can be only R-1

[Raptor]

Is there any CS vids showing Satsukaishi's Noel? Seeing him/her rank 3rd on Game Chariot's ranbats has got me curious on how this Noel became top 3 on the charts.

this, i cant find anything on him/her either

[klops]

i'm not convinced he exists.

[Danny Schme]

The only GUCCI matches I've seen are where he's going against R-1 and gets wrecked. Links to others? I've browsed but didn't see any.

[WayINside]

he has gone undeground, swear never to play again till he beat R-1 down :P

[RinHara5aki]

Not anything like R-1 or Lime or something, but your local Nor-cal Noel player 2GB Combo did some serious whooping, with some hilarious commentary XD

[Mizzet]

Not bad, pretty solid. I kinda aww'd at the burst in the second round though haha, especially against Arakune in curse mode it's unlikely to accomplish much. I'd much rather eat a loss and go into the last round 2 bursts up. Anyone else find it annoying how Arakune can just mash random bugs on wakeup and be pretty much safe from oki, since anything you do will get interrupted by the bugs.

[GenoWhirl]

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10176492 , Oh, R-1...

[DC]

Here comes the big damage combo!

Awwwwwwwwww......

[WayINside]

hey all,

i got jealous at how arakune and carl's players have their users who keep uploading vids from nico.

so i decided to start uploading to youtube noel's match only form nico. just to make it easier to find when you are looking for some of noel's matches.

I don't know how long i will keep on doing it, but as long as i do, you might as well enjoy it.

here is the link.

a little think to ask, would you want to see a R-1 only list?

actually, i can't really identify any other player :8/:

[DubiousCurvLoop]

I guess an R-1 playlist would be cool since he seems to be the most notable Noel currently.

I wonder what happened to DB Aikouka. Does anyone know if he's playing CS?

[WayINside]

At these moments i update my account with 9 more vids, noel actually won one of them :P

[kadiev]

I gave up on Noel after I played CS. I dislike all her normals now and how you have to lean more towards her drive button. Feels like nu-13 having to do that ugh. Gonna go my sub litchi. Seriously why did she get changed so much I feel ripped off lol.
