Stafy

Yes, and while it isn't a lot, especially after patch, curse is still curse and we need as much as well could get. There is also 2A 2C RC 5D j.a[xN] j.c j.5d for a good chunk of curse assuming you have the meter. However, I am not sure how the jump change will effect our dive loops.

His backdash startup frames are fine. His backdash isn't completely shit unless everyone got faster or can get to his distance that quick. And really I think we shouldn't worry about "OH GOD NO MORE LOOPS" because they're eventually going to be found. Carl needs to find more loops in CS2 as well. Everyone basically needed to find new ways to do huge damage, which means new combos for everyone almost. I still hold optimism for him being an alright character because it'll be worked around when we get to develop as him again.

So, if this is the last test, does BBCS2 have a set release date, and will that come out simultaneously with the balance patch for PSN/XBL?

If you look at Adakune's YT account, you'll get enough videos to watch. It updates pretty often, and they come from niconicodouga mostly as far as i can tell

At first I bought CT because I was into air combos at the time, and Taokaka looked like she had really interesting air combos. But I couldn't deal, so I tried v-13. Then when I was playing arcade mode, I got killed by Rachel and so I tried her because I thought she looked interesting. I played her for the rest of my CT life. Then CS came out and I tried Tager until Mu-12 was unlocked, but I thought she was disappointing to me so I went for Arakune. :V

4B = standing 6B in CS1 6B = 6B part in 5a 6B I guess that's a nice change if you can IB. Same startup frames at 5A.

So yeah I haven't really bothered with it since I can get curse fine, but is 5a 6b j.6D just always retarded on Hakumen mid screen? It doesn't seem to hit all the time. Should I do an alternative if I get 5A confirmed?

In the air, with j5B in bit.

Is there anything better to do when both me and the opponent are in the air and you catch them with j4b / jb? In all ranges, or is there better options than jb

Increased recovery for backdash, supposedly

Has anyone found new combos for Arakune during the loketest since the wheel/dive nerf?

Yeah, I was wondering if there was a GG stream :t

Would combos like this also help, assuming the jC proration isn't that bad now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACojfSvhAeY#t=35s

I kinda wish Aksys would experiment with heat usage more. I mean, I'm basically wishing it would be like SSF4/Jin, but I think if characters gain a lot of heat already, i'd rather just use a super version of a move to o even more combos esp. if it is a long-combo based games. But that's just wishful thinking. Can't wait for loketest3.

More of a general question, but how much would it be worth to get a stick if I'm fully comfortable with playing Arakune on a PS3 pad?

How good would 5C be in this matchup? I know Valk has this really dumb wolf charge that goes full screen and wonder how good it would be against that, or if there is any other reliable counters?

So When does the BBCS2 come out? December?

Second Loketest is coming up. No information for Arakune though.

Nothing on Arakune no. ;_; And wow, Hakumen's changes look like they hurt if you're counter heavy. Tsubaki's changes kinda sound bad too?

i'm trying to pick up h-len in melty, but i'm only playing on an emu and it's bad enough i'm playing on a 360 pad (lol). I'm working on getting a copy and getting my PS2 to play japanese games. :V i need some arakune practice later, i might be able to go out thursday 4:00 PM onward- sunday if anyone is doing meet ups/online stuff (That is, if someone minds a shy 16 year old. :3c ) hopefully i remember that bi weekly is the 16th too

Hello, I am trying to get into Guilty Gear and enjoy zoning characters or characters that set up. (In BB I play Arakune and in Melty Blood I'm training Len.) Which characters are zoners so I can narrow down my choices between the characters?

What are some good counters you can do from IB?

I want to know if they fixed Mu's hitbox so D bug works without 5C. x: It's not a huge bother, but it does feel inconsistent that it works on every character but her, and she's as tall as the rest of the cast.

If my opponent is doing nothing but walking backwards, blocking all of my bugs and potentially getting negative warning, which tactics should I use to guard break or get my party bugs to loop him?
