Could someone explain to me what's going on right here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP9w04x6x-g#t=19m50 Is this a kara air throw, something exploitable with tsubakis air throw range, or just a glitch in the video?

Thanks a lot ! Sounds like the key to beating bang is to get a knockdown before he has meter and abuse his wakeup. Matchup doesn't seem as hopeless as it did to me before.

I'd love to have more insight on this matchup from experienced players. This is one of the matchups I find extremely hard to deal with. Problems I'm having: - It seems he can outpoke me in every situation - Seems like he can get in for free whenever he wants, I try not to attempt a 2c anti air until his nails are gone but a good bang doesn't use them up quickly to keep the threat there - The pressure! - His "super powered up" state (don't know the name) seems like a free round for him whenever he activates this. Maybe I just don't know enough about how the state operates - His wakeup seems really good? Looks like he can do his counter move or his distortion on wakeupe if he has meter. I really don't understand why he would have a counter attack, that attacks itself and is safe on block, seems like the most broken thing about him.

Session at my place today (Cary NC) and we will have a fair amount of BB players. 7th would be great if you came through so we could play some more, had fun playing the other week. If anyone needs my address please send me a PM on here or over at SRK (xxjosxx). Starting at 2pm, going till .. whenever. Will have multiple LAGLESS setups (CRT and asus monitors).

I hold sessions at my place every Monday, I'm in Cary NC. BBCS2 and MvC3. PM me for details.

I'm in Cary NC and I play, having people over tonight to play some bbcs2 actually. You're more then welcome to come. I think most of the FG community in NC posts on SRK and you can find our thread over there in the local match making forum, but I'm getting a lot more into BBCS then mvc3 so I've come over here looking for people as well. We have a few players already though, PM me for info if you want to come. Not sure how close lumberton is to Cary (moved here about it a year ago).

In Noels combo notation, what does the notation "RC" mean? Ex: 5B > 5C > RC > 6A > 6C > 236A > 66C > j.D > d.6D > d.5D > d.5C > d.6B > d.236D

Thank you! I would have never figured this out lol, google and moves lists failed me for a while yesterday.

No question is to basic right? So...in combo notation when it says "reload" which move is that? Thanks for the help.

What is Hakumens weakness? I can't get in or out damage him, it's extremely frustrating to lose to pokes and the whole thing seems like an uphill battle. Is there anything I can do besides "mixup blockstrings" and try to make him scared to use his drive? I can't figure out how to consistantly beat hakumen for the life of me, getting hit with 3 hit 3K combos pisses me off beyond belief.

Thanks. It seems to me that 6B~C gives the most range on the kara throw, is this just my eyes deceiving me and it's been tested and proven that 6C~B and 2C~B give the most range?

Placing and throwing the staff has helped a lot, but the lambda I play as some pretty serious block strings that only allow me enough time to 2D plant between the projectile attacks and the start up of ground spikes, then I need to block (jumping puts me into a combo). I need to go through 2 block strings in order to be able to place the staff and then throw the staff during my next opening, and with mixups its not really an option since lambda can just switch up her keep out game. This is a very frustrating match up, as annoying as hakumen for me. These 2 characters feel like an uphill battle the whole time.

None of this information in the thread has helped me, this matchup seems impossible from my end. Litchi is out ranged, and out powered (he does over 3K in 3 hits??? c'mon). Whenever i try to mount some type of offense the guy I play uses his drive and I just get countered (I hate playing characters that punish you for being aggressive). Can anyone with real experience against hakumen please give some insight on this matchup? Thank you.

What is the best way to get in on lambda? Once I get in I am fine but I haven't been able to find a reliable way to get in on lambda.

I could use some help with this matchup. Noel seems to go under a lot of my moves, and the start up invincibility frames of her 5D has been giving me some trouble as well. Anyone have any tips against her?

When playing against ragna I feel like all of his moves have invincibility frames, whenever I try to pull a 5A out it usually gets countered. When is a good time to try to poke? Once the pressure and block strings start I feel stuck.

I'm able to poke him at times, but it seems he has more range then we do. Am I correct or incorrect with this? I guess I haven't tested, it's just the impression I got from all of my hakumen matches (I've played him a LOT). If our 6B out ranges him I will abuse it to no end, but I tried to abuse it already and it didn't go so well. Most hakumens I can beat but I have one friend that I cannot take out (I'm talking hours of losing).

This is true, after reading up / doing everything I could to figure a way past Tager with Noel (I started with her not litchi) i had a strong dislike towards tager and when I started litchi went into the match up with the same mind set. There is some helpful stuff in the litchi forum for dealing with tager (not so much with noel) and if I had looked there first I wouldn't have had any trouble with him any longer. Poor Noel though...

How do you discern a tone on an online post? You read the words, I don't even understand how you get more information from a supposed "tone" then the actual words written down while reading. lol @ your desire to tell me I'm new to the game (aka scrub) while I never claim otherwise. The rest of your points have already been made by others and already been addressed.

The thread wasn't meant to be a match up tager vs litchi thread, it just so happened people posted and helped out and that's what it turned out to be. My post was to really ask everyones opinion on tager being fair, as stated I never encountered a character like him in any fighting game before and was very puzzled by the tools he had, and I couldnt find his weaknesses. Take my OP how you want to take it, I figured me saying "this is a serious QUESTION" two times would hint at the fact that I was asking a question, not being arrogant and stating facts. Adverse reactions don't bother me any, but it does make me weary of other new players joining the community because the type of thing can really scare away some people. I'm not going to apologize for not going about this the "perfect way" because hey, things don't always go perfectly - that's life I don't feel I did anything to offend anyone. EDIT: Did you even read my OP? Where I started and ended with please don't take this as complaining but as a serious question?

Hostility for no reason. It's clearly agreed that tager wrecks new players with ease. You yourself say I don't know anything about the game so wouldn't you expect tager to wreck me? But then you reply by saying that "tager sucks balls!". This type of arguing I'm doing (with you for example) has nothing to do with knowledge of the game, it's pure common sense. Waaay to defensive.

Thank you! I have faced 3 tagers in a number of matches since this thread and I have not lost 1 yet You are correct in assuming most of the tagers I face are terrible, they make the mistakes pegged to bad tagers. Before I would become offensive at some point in the match (once i got their health down low) and end up losing, I just keep defensive and abuse his short coming as pointed out here - been working wonderful. lol @ those saying I'm arrogant and arguing with vets. The only things I argued were things I knew from years of experience in fighting games. I've never played GG and this is my first BB game - big change of pace for me over here but it doesn't mean that I don't know anything about fighting games. I had never encountered ANYTHING like tager before. How can I be arrogant when I openly admit I know next to nothing about this game / character and ask for information? shm xD A lot of the problem as well was that I was "scared" of facing the character, which was making me mess up quite a bit. Besides today I was only able to win 1 match in the last week + of playing (been playing litchi for a few days, picked up Noel first). I understand the hostility, I've been around long enough to know to expect the presence of a few underdeveloped personalities while on gaming boards it's all good Thanks for the help to the rest of you! It worked wonders.

I am having a lot of problems with this match up. The hakumen I play against always seems to out range / poke me. Once he gets in I don't know what to throw out because I keep on getting countered each time I do anything besides block. Any insight on this match up is appreciated, Thank you.

Thanks for the helpful advice to those who gave it, I'm gonna jump online (I will without question face some tagers) and put it to practice, and see how things go. Isorropia I'm going to try to abuse pokes, the one time I beat a tager is when I just used 6B, j.b and 5B the whole match. I didn't even realize there was a meter to show when he had charge - that should help a lot as well.
