I have to agree, I can only imagine how silly this match up would be... @Toan: The match up is pretty similar, the only difference is that Amane's knot is the attack and Lambda's sword is, but Lambda's sword is Active once in motion, Amane's attacks are not. Also, Amane does have mid-ranged tools to slow Makoto down but using them is a much higher risk than reward depending on Drill LV.

I'll copy/paste from my notes what I've collected after watching Amane vs Makoto: I won't go into numbers of the match up because it's too early for that and I need to see more videos to waiver my decision. Who knows, later on something could develop and change the game. As I've said before, these are notes from the match up videos that are available for these characters.

3 seconds left: Rachel uses wind to escape Jin Activates Overdrive (Timer Stops) Rachel: Jin: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In recent videos, Amane obvously struggles against Makoto and Hazama, Tao I can see being a problem due to her movement ability and Valkenhayn is pretty iffy to me. Amane seems to do fairly well against everyone else though. I wouldn't jump the gun on Nu and Mu yet (I'd throw Valk in the mix as well since there is no match videos of them facing Amane yet), I have suspect he will struggle against zoners in particular since their range is going to be better than his but that is an assumption so I'd rather wait until match videos come out before we get into discussions of characters that haven't faced Amane yet. @Krusiv: I would love it if Azrael = Kamina, Amane = Simon, Bullet = Yoko. That would be GDLK!

I think it should be noted even though it wasn't Amane that did this but I love how Jin went into OD to prevent Amane from bursting the game winning combo. That's probably one of the smartest way's I've seen OD used in all the CP videos so far. I'm sure this can be used to assist the entire cast especially Amane. From the looks of things, we have a few ways to use OD: Gain LV 3 Spiral: - You can use it at the beginning of the round to obtain LV 3 spiral and if you manage it right preventing yourself from overheating, you can get some serious chip early on. It's regeneration rate isn't bad either so if the round goes a good distance, you'll regain it and if things start to go bad, you can burst in the same round. Extend Combos: - Doing so can allow you to obtain more damage and since the spiral gauge goes to LV 3, you could place a meaty on the opponent's wake up to to chip away a ton of barrier/health. Burst Prevention: - As seen done by Jin, and even in the video Amane does 11K on Tager (unintentionally I'm sure), if you OD mid-combo when your opponent has the option to burst, they no longer have the ability to do so. You can safely continue your combo without having to worry about the opponent bursting. Avoid Time Over: - Since OD activation stops the timer, if a character tries to lame you out for time or escape to the top of the screen (Looks at Rachel), you can give yourself a little more time to close out the fight IF you have that option. Amane has some serious potential with the use of OD and I can't wait to see more tech with this mechanic.

You know, I actually looked that over, that is hella smart! I didn't even think of using OD as a Burst Prevention mechanic for Game Winning combos! Works ever better for Jin since you can multi-freeze opponents in combos so as Jourdal said earlier, dropping OD combos are probably going to be rare but if you do... :V

X Box? Ha! I have it on PS3! Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2

To an extent, but I have ranged normals if they like to mash so I'll just play the range game instead. Or, I can body fools with Jin like I have been for the past 4 iterations of this game.

Rose and Ken. I may look into Evil Ryu since he looks fun too but I doubt it.

You expect every netplayer to actually play this character properly? LOL mAc, you give the internet too much credit.

Getting hit by Amane isn't annoying, it's blocking Amane that's going to annoy people. Literally the character you'll be afraid to block against.

This guy is playing pretty risky, he starts the game off tossing out his fatal against Tsubaki who has the potential of hitting him with a 22C which I'm sure is faster, but it leads to almost 4K meterless if he hits so I can't say it's a bad idea. 3:36 Oh Amane, how unfortunate... The Amane vs Jin match up went as I expected, I've been taking notes and my assumptions were spot on, most likely because I've been a Jin main since CT and have been keeping an eye on him as well.

Dammit... ninja'd by the video gawd. I was watching that about a half hour ago on my Nico account and was like: Overdrive Swag Combo. It was pretty sweet if you ask me.

LOL! Post like yours is why I wish DL had a Like Post option but It's cool. I've been subbing Bang since CT, I'll just play him to even things out. I hate Azrael, seeing him Sparta Kick combo opponents into the corner for 4K meter-less made me hella mad. I would rage if I were on the receiving end of that combo.

Okay, I laughed a little too hard at this. Thank You! I hope I don't have to make another account, TheNobleYellow was only a temp due to hacking, for the love of god, I do not want to deal with that process again... @Moy: I told myself I'd play Saya when she comes out too but Amane has really grabbed my attention. I find it funny that I go from Maining an Ice Fairy with a serious brother complex to a Sparkling Pixie that prances around and worships beauty... WTF is wrong with me?!

This is so true... I won't get too hype over it until I see something proving that I should.

Koba, your avatar is too GDLK!

Oh... Sundays are my usual work days. I am interested but I'd only be able to join on Sundays where my workload isn't too bad. I'll keep you posted because this sounds hype.

At least you're back to Time Based combos in CP, LOL! At least it gives you some memories of the past so you can reminisce of the good times when you combo'd like you did in CT. Anyway, just dropping by to see what's new, I've become what I always hated: A Traitor. I'm gonna main Amane, but I will sub Jin, hard.

You're not picking up a combo off of LV 1, the opponent recovers too fast for you to do anything. You could if you RC it but who's going to RC after a LV 1 super?

Some EC guys are supposed to show up from what I hear so it might happen.

Yes, Check out the archive, the matches were very hype! Frosty Faustings is happening on the 29th of December IIRC, so please, make sure to open your schedules up for that day. And I will be hitting you up next week to grind out some AE, I need to learn this game!

FINALLY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if1JTJMbB5k&feature=g-u-u MP3 DOWNLOAD LINK IS IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE VIDEO!!! EDIT: Ninja'd... EDIT 2: Spiral does not build, she is safe and you gain nothing. Yes, Hariken is the ground drill. EDIT 3: Well, Hakumen was eating them trying to drive through them to take no damage (or mimimize the damage), so why stop if he's getting hit? Had the Hakumen player did something to force him to switch it up, then I could understand where you're coming from.
