It shows which part of the combo was dropped. So if it's a 16 hit blue combo that says 12 08 06, that means the other guy could've teched out at hits 6, 8, and 12.

Yukikaze is fine. It's like a 5th shoryuken that does more damage than the 623D but costs 25 more heat. It's not just inexperienced players who fall for counters, it's all part of the mindgames.

You can't combo off of a non-CH 3C in CT right? Cause in a recent CS vid I saw 3C > 2B > Gurren > 6C EDIT: Also, seems like the new option off a 6D is fully charged 6C > 2C > aircombo. Does this do more damage than the usual walk a bit forward > falling j.C (CT) > 2C > aircombo? I would assume so.

I don't play Ragna but....can't you already do that?

Not true. It doesn't have to be the last round anymore. You can do it if YOU have one more round to win.

I may be totally off but hasn't something like ......super jump j2A>jC>step jump j2A>jC been done already? It was in some really recent vid posted, don't remember who was playing. But then again it just looked like a regular jump to me, I don't know how to tell if it's a step jump.

Okay, I get the general idea, but what's the difference between head attribute invincibility and upper body invincibility? Does head mean like it's invincible to attacks that visually hit near his head or something? Or that it's invincible to overheads? Sorry to bother you guys. And any reason why you would 6B(1) > D? Seems like if they block your 6B you might as well D after both hits since your opponent probably wouldn't try poking you between the two hits, unless I'm totally wrong.

Got a question about his 6A and 6B. Why are people saying that 6A isn't a good AA anymore? Did it lose it's head invulnerability or something? For the Haku-stomp, are there literally zero things you can do after it that can combo?

This one hell of a random question, but what does "jodenge" mean? Tager always yells it out when he does 2D in the Japanese voice overs, and he also says "jodengy spark" for Spark Bolt.

It's just for flash, like when Tager glows yellow or when the whole effing screen turns purple during a throw break.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your post correctly, but you can definitely end similar combos like that in CT with C ice car unless I'm going crazy..

No, you're the one getting confused. What he says in Japanese is exactly what the move is called, as in the English version. Same thing goes for all his other specials. He yells out their names.

The announcer in that video's awesome, yelling out moves. 5K combo looks good.

People are comboing off of CH 623C for sure. Kaqn does it plenty of times.

Truth. Any Vancouver arcades?

Thanks for the detailed write up. It's like Arc Sys had a team of Rachel testers and each person said one part of her (and nothing else) needed nerfing for her to be balanced. The head guy then misunderstood the part about nerfing just one part, and nerfed it all.

Yeah, should've used Yukikaze. He probably forgot Jin has it.

Agreed. Can't count how many times roll + renka has gotten my ass out of the corner.

Those VAMOS vids actually made me sad inside just watching the Rachel players struggling to, well, do anything.

Jin's ice moves are auto-break now, since the first loketest. They're just there for eye-candy.

mazterskill1: Should be obvious, but learn your combos. Also, you spend waaaaay too long barrier blocking Tager. His blockstring (if you could call it that) was probably half the length of what you thought they were.

It's not a 9K combo, it's a fully charged Shippu. Shit load of damage, but when are you ever gonna hit with a fully charged one?

In some versions she's D with Tsubaki, in others she's D by herself. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=508738&postcount=901

First draft of the Japanese tier charts have Rachel in D tier. Obviously shouldn't put too much weight behind this seeing as the game is barely a week old, but it's hard to keep my hopes up right now :S inb4 tiers don't matter, blahblahblah, they mean something, however small to us.
