CrescentSaber

Sounds very situational to me. It depends on your opponent's habits mostly. But since most people tech away from you after getting juggled, I see this working about 50% of the time...in the corner.

Also seems like mastering TK crescent saber and crescent saber feints is going to be pretty essential to her gameplay as well.

Awesome. I noticed some of her moves looked different in the videos. I like that her accel movement is now a double tap instead of a quarter circle input. She sounds great as usual. Thanks.

Ok thanks I didn't know that. That's been tripping me up for the longest time lol.

I think it depends on the height they are at before you use 5d. I"m working on learning that part too. The 6B always misses and they tech out of the combo. It depends on the character, how far you are away from them, and how many times you do the 6c throw cancels.

Ok I was just curious about that. So far I'm really liking her and Lilica. Lilica is my favorite character in AH and she looks even more awesome in this one. Does anyone know if she's gotten anything new or if she's changed much in AH3?

Weiss's moves and fighting style look and sound awesome. Does the Arm oneself with hidden blades move have a time limit for it's effect? Kinda like Blood Kain or something like that?

That wasn't me. I use Litchi but not Bang and Ragna. I remember fighting you once before in ranked though. I lost pretty bad, but that was before I really figured out how to fight Nu. I remember your GT though, you were pretty freaking good with her.

Yeah I see what you mean. Nu has good melee attacks too you just don't see them used all that often as far as combos go, I don't anyway except for a few really good Nu players that I know. But they nerfed her sword drive and just forced the player to utilize her melee more than with Nu which I actually like much more honestly. Lambda looks like a lot of fun.

I've noticed people making use of Lambda's melee attacks a lot more than her swords. It seems like she has a lot of combos that utilize her melee attacks rather than just having several different setups into sword juggling. I like this style better than Nu to be honest. They took the focus off of zoning and gave her a more hybrid style with good projectiles that work great for zoning but are meant to help her link into her other attacks.

Well I played Jam and Dizzy in GG mainly because Jam's fighting style was awesome and Dizzy just looked like fun to play as. It's pretty much the same in BB. I picked Noel as my main because of her fighting style and Litchi pretty much the same. V-13 and Rachel I picked up later because well I love their character designs and V-13 has dimensional swords which is awesome. Rachel is a vampire that has control over wind and lightning. Yeah nuff said.

Poor Rachel...She really didn't deserve all the nerfs she got. I mean some things needed some fixing but they went way overboard on her. I'm still gonna use my favorite vampire girl but it's gonna be struggle to fight with her now. But nothing ventured, nothing gained right? Oh and has anyone found any good use for her new distortion yet? Like can it be comboed into or anything like that?

Oh I know that. I've messed up a quite a few times and ended up teleporting into attacks. I'll like parser from one side of the opponent to the other while using swords and parsering backwards also. I do tend to use it a little too often sometimes and I'm trying to break that habit. I try never to parser straight into someones face though. They just jab the crap outta me.

I mix in throws also but only once in a while. Most of the better players tech throws pretty easily but tossing one in place of a combo finisher like for example for Noel: Landing a 6A>6C>j.A>j.B>, and doing a throw instead of j.236C catches people of guard. Just don't overdo it or you become predictable. I use throws more with Noel because she can link every one of her throws to something: her air throw can start a combo and both ground throws can be linked to distortions.

Wow, I love females in fighting games. My favorite fighting game characters are mostly girls. I use Noel, Litchi, Rachel, and V-13 in BB. Jam and Dizzy are my best two in GG and same way with DOA and SC4.

I do that myself. I make use of act parser a lot and mix in melee moves with drive attacks for my combos. I like act parsering all around and pretty much running circles around my opponent instead of just sitting back and shooting swords. It throws a lot of players off when they play against an aggressive V-13. They're not used to that kind of style and it makes her a little less predictable also. You get that element of surprise going for you because they don't know what to expect from you most of the time.

You should keep it. It'll be good to have for reference even after CS comes out.

I have trouble doing the dashes between the 6cs. I usually just do two 6cs then start my drive combo. If I try more I end up screwing up the combo.
