you know my psn. hit me up whenever. i'll tell you if l am available.

dustloop has been rather tense lately.

All of the rest. Never mind the a confirms. No one gets over 3k without heat for an a confirm, so that statement was uneducated to begin with.

You know as I finished reading this I couldn't help shaking my head really hard. And you know my braids are long so they kept smacking me in the face. So I believe that counts as multiple facepalms. About 100 (I shook my head for awhile.) I think... Instead of refuting this perhaps if you don't mind, you could provide match examples to back up some of what you're saying. Right now I am finding it really really hard not to straight up disagree with 90% of what you said. Seriously I would like to know how you've come to these conclusions, I'd love to be wrong about this character and she be just an average top tier.

If this happened once, it can and very likely will, happen again. The evidence is beginning to unravel before our very eyes. I want her to be banned. However, I stated before that tournament results will most likely decide a dispute of this magnitude. It is beginning. It will be a slow and painful era of Kokonoe taking over the scene, it won't happen immediately. There will be other characters but the people placing high/winning will likely be her. It only gets worse from here unless it is stopped.

^that's the idea behind op characters. truth be told you fucked up at the character select screen. anything after that should be expected, so you might as well brace yourself. @necro its so they dont commit to a high recovery move that will get stuffed by backdash/50 heat reversal/jump. the idea is that once they see you blocking they will adapt to combo/pressure while not overcommitting. ironically it isnt as easy to time, nor is it failsafe but its legit, 'ok' oki.

@surf, how would you know how hairy valkenhayn's ass is? have you been in that region before? o.O ggs to trugunner. yes im still learning amane. this guy's neutral is so weird, its like he has to play more perfectly than rachel, all these missing hitboxes and having to yomi drills and scarves or die, cant not use them cause then he gets rushed down. no dp really really hurts, and 50 heat dp is so stupidly underwhelming. how does anyone bother being good with this character, idk but im going to try cause he gives that satisfaction after a hard earned win (unless a drill is eaten early then its just a win). yeah anyway ggs

you'd rather someone curbstomp your teeth into the pavement than try hard to show you they recognise you as a person? if that is the case, l am going to have a lot of fun with you...

l think being better than everyone at everything qualifies for a ban. her weaknesses are barely weaknesses. any limits imposed on this character are just to make her seem dependant on strategic play, but then her overall mechanics make her gameplan extremely strong for little risk and often gamechanging rewards. shes the only character who can shift momentum in her favor any time she wants, anytime, anywhere, and again, at little risk. most unblockables were taken out of the game only for this ho to get the best one of them all. how irritating.

Got some vids coming. I'm not very good with him, still can't do 623c consistently and no idea how to play full screen or midrange with him. I'll post them either tonight or tomorrow, and will edit this post with them. Probably not a huge batch, maybe 3 or 4. As thorough as possible please because I really have no idea what I'm doing outside of zettou xn and drill shenanigans.

So start doing dash barrier more. If she does 2d you can continue running and get to the other side and 5d her. It will also block 3c and any air dash attempts will get blocked or avoided. Of course if you sense the move you can just 2d, 6d or even 6a(?) it.

I'm sure you'll adapt nicely.

Uh when was this era??? I recall everyone always having to deal with her ambiguity. Honestly it looks a lot more tame now in neutral and actually good in pressure which is the way I imagined it would be back in ct. hell, sometimes the Noel players don't know what she's going to do next!

Kokonoe. Bitch. *spits*

There isn't a red. Trust me, there isn't a red. Pink is the highest.

take a deep breath. for the first question, you are likely no longer in range to j.a. you could have pushed the foe too far away. get into point blank range and use 5a j2da. j2b isnt gapless but is good, gives more dmg due to n starter. stall. do 2a xn staggers. start using frame traps. stay on the ground, watch your wind. 6a, 6b j236a/b and 236a are your best tools to keep pressure. confirm most windless combos into 5cc/3c and summon. the best quote of the day, made by kro_ a few years ago; "turtle and press 6a like your life depended on it. it actually does."

Too risky and not worth it. They do anything but a mid on the ground and you get punished. They do nothing and you get thrown/fataled. You hit them, you do only decent damage without 100 heat, and you end up in the corner with no heat. Iirc they only stand on smp, but they can air tech as well (see: fatal). Basically there are so few ways to get into a favorable situation from this setup, and sooo many ways for it to go wrong.

wow you're going to castrate her. some are ok but the list as a whole is a bit much. btw, 6[a] 2c works, so highly doubt non jc 6[a] will hurt her too much.

you have to tell him in hime's voice. it's the only way.

cthylla or however you spell her name. lots of projectiles to oki with. she sort of looks like rachel too. but not as cute.

letting her fate be decided via tournament play is probably the best way currently. nothing like a tournament to sway the masses' opinions. since multiple medium and big tournaments will provide hard evidence on just how powerful and influential she is. and the reason multiple tournaments would need to be held should be obvious. if x player won evo with her, yeah, its a big deal. but if x player wins evo, y player wins nec, z player beats apex, a player wins seasons beatings, b player dominates winter brawl... huge flipping problem. if that happens over the course of say 7-8 months she probably should be banned for the remainder of cp.

thats because a break us just like sitting in the backseat of a car. other important things take the wheel but uour bb thoughts are still there, being driven to their destination, forming and developing. so the next time you touch them you realize a new idea or plan is waiting there. breaks are essential, important, pretty much required to advance.

so long as rachel is in the game, asw can have all of my money. otherwise patches are just patches. and anyway they come once a year or two for bb, and they come right on time in most cases, pacifying those irritated at this and upset at that.

high chance its going to happen, so the best that you can do is be prepared. after the patch there certainly shouldn't be anymore salt thrown at kokonoe. perhaps everyone can resume their previous task of burning other tops at the stake.

walking back through the path of needles to reclaim this char. unfortunately the other mode change chars are not to my liking (they don't have a good dp)... so i'm back *unenthused yay* l missed alot, this char feels more foreign than her style in ex. has her jump gotten higher? also, not being able to rely on itsuub/meter daisharin has made playing neutral more difficult, her method of approach seems almost one dimensional now (not to be mistaken with bad at all). how is 4b and ippatsu d? are they very important in the neutral? any other changes that made certain moves better/others worse? in the neutral l mean
