So it's something completlely seperate from Rapid Cancels? Also, I'm just curious, but if you never played GG before, how long have you been playing fighting games and how long did it take you for you to get as good as you are now?

Ah okay....FRC is.....? It's like rapid canceling in Blazblue right? And I feel you on that one....I'm pretty much the only one who plays Blazblue here in my hometown.....shame cuz it's such a great game. Also isn't the guard libra/primer in BB what stun is to fighters like GG and SF?

Right....cuz Guilty Gear didn't have tech rolls which is why Oki was a lot more important in that game right? Why doesn't Tager have a double jump again? I mean I can understand him not having a foward dash (lol dash in 360s) but why no double jump? Also if Potemkin didn't have a 720 what were his (just for my lack of GG knowledge I'll ask in BB terms) Distortion Drives? Also did you ever play GG?

Ah I see....That could work. Why not? 720 isn't anything spectacular (from a creative point of view anyway). His Astral is fine if people want to see some kind of crazy pile driver move (Guaranteed it's harder to use for different reasons but it's also easier to use for different reasons as well.) Why was Potemkin so good in GG again? And if he didn't have a 720 what specials did he have?

That's true....But thats what you expect from Grappler characters. As you said they have to work their way in to actually do damage, but when they hit you they hit you hard. But 720 is Tager's big game changer, so in (most) cases you can never count Tager out. I saw that in the recent Loketest 5D can also pull you in more, and it seems like Lambda, who is one of Tager's hardest match ups, had her D swords slowed down too, which just (might) make that match-up easier. I dunno what to say about Mu though....aside from playing you, I've barely seen any gameplay of her, but I know that that match-up is even worse for Tager than Lambda. But at least they're thinking of stuff, and although I'm sure it's very hard to balance Tager (Any grappler character out in general) I really like the idea of a grappler that can "pull" you in more with magnetism. If they can just get more creative, I think Tager will eventually become solid at least.

That's true. I felt the same. And although some of the nerfs are a bit extreme, like I said in the Ragna BBCS 2 Changes forum, I really think they're trying to get Ragna to be more creative...and I think that'll make the character, and the game itself a lot more fun. Good to know they're experimenting with a Tager a bit though. I always though he either needed to be more gimmicky (excuse me if I spelt that wrong) or he needed some better options and/or damage output.

So overall what are your opinions on the BBCS2 Loketest?

Btw....on my way to work I thought of something to make Tager a better character....y'know how Atomic Collider put your opponent in the opposite side of you? To me that seems to screw Tager over in some situations....especially when your opponents in the corner but you wanna keep em there but obviously do damage. So what if perhaps in the next game theres an option of throwing your opponent down or to the opposite side of you as it is now. It can be like how Ragna with his Inferno Divider, after the follow-up can punch his opponent to the wall and they bounce or you axe-kick them to the ground. I mean hey, both motions are DPs....

Guess I'll test it out a bit more....otherwise it's not a combo that I really need to know huh?

Also.....can you give me advice on Grab>dash 5B? I'm having trouble on it....it's either I'm having trouble understanding how long to delay the second hit of GH or knowing the timing on the dash into 5B.

A little....I havn't even touched ranked yet.... My first match in player match was horrendous. My opponent had to be using a lag switch....because there were lag spikes every where and whenever I got a combo in a lag spike just "happened". He was using Trollzama and Tager....of course the two characters that get the most out of lag..... I will admit it was kind of funny though.....sort of....:8/:

So I finally decided to go online for BB CS and I'm starting to realize what you mean by how the online could be a little bit better....

Yeah I hear you. It's hard to get motivated into playing the game when you're pretty much the only one in your town who really plays it and online seems to be pretty much your only option into playing the games and that's never fun. You only have a ps3?

Lol....a lot of it does have to do with muscle memory. I might commit to learning her eventually, I like her character wise and one of my favorite lines that she says is "NUTS TO YOUUUUU~~~" XD He turns into a wolf though! That gets me hyped....partially because wolfs are my favorite animal.

Yeah thats true. Did you ever buy Makoto btw? And are you looking foward to Valkenhayn? I know I am..... Oh btw I finally figured out the Dash into 5D into 22C after a double BE combo. What I didn't realize is you have to be very quick into inputting 5D right after the dash in order for it to connect.

Funny you mention that, didn't someone in the room say that they changed the netcode from CT? If so thats dissapointing cuz I did like CT's netcode. Although I was unsure of some things about it.

Thats true, even in real matches though I need to work on it. That being said though....just about everything is harder online.
