Errol

that's fine

anyone want to play a bit?

most likely

i will play you some GGs. a little bit of weird lag hit at the end and persisted some so figured I'd do something else.

i didn't see 4b in here so I know you're lying

as lambda? it looks like it would work if you weren't near the corner, but since youre near the corner you get hit by 5bb. you don't backdash on wakeup in the corner as lambda, just tao.

but you backdash an inch away from the corner and get hit all the time

Matoi vs Tsubaki

i have no problem with position on training stage. i just hate the stage anyway.

wait a sec this is today? like friday? at 3pm? what about work?

come 360a through tsubaki's astral

training stage is totally boring. i like to watch the backgrounds during combos so zzzzzzzzzzz

i hate this.

he is a lot more passive. that is why he is free to tsubaki

and GGs chronovex.

i need more noel experience

ggs to psychofangz you need to play more of your main thanks for games

no it isn't

not really no. i'm just saying when you do no damage people press buttons without giving a single shit.

people don't rightfully respect the difference doing 1.5k damage instead of 6k makes. that changes everything.

how so, please explain more. compare/contrast with tsubaki pressure.

that all speaks to the fact that tao has favorable matchups against the entire cast and not of the part where she dies really fast. her defense is not that limited - fuck that, limited defense is characters like makoto, not characters frame 1 low profile, frame 1 low invuln, 7f invuln 18f total backsteps, 6f 2as with double range, etc. it's more that she presents plenty of opportunities to do something random during her pressure, and it only takes a couple random things during her pressure to kill her. or just randomly pressing buttons in neutral. because although she has an exceeding strong neutral, anytime you get in neutral you pretty much could have done somehting in there to hit her instead. really, against tao, the more random stuff I do, the better I do. i mean, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding, I think tao is a totally dumb character that is probably hated more than Noel. Noel tries to force her way with random bullshit. Taokaka forces you to play like a chicken with its head chopped off. also I guess I don't think she is more prone to randomness than characters like makoto or tsubaki, but rather, there are characters that can reduce randomness to an extreme, like lambda, litchi, and rachel.

matchup chart theory is always based on evenly matched players, right. and all matchups wind up in this 4.5-5.5 range. but outside of that is the fact that if you lag behind in some matchups, your win rate goes down 10%, and if you lag behind in other match ups, your win rate goes down to 10%. it probably affects you in the reverse way star-demon. you're not quite good enough so your win rate is lower than it should be given your level. then you got characters like noel where your win rate can be higher than it should be given your skill, given the strength of the lol randomness. Some players, some characters, much more liable to random wins, some much more liable to random losses, we all know this. we all know taokaka is has favorable matchups against the entire cast, but she's very subject to randomness, so it's going to be a lot harder to not lose with her than with other characters despite that, right. then there's also characters that win off the strength of stupid randomness, like noel.

in EX if they IB 5cc they can punish you for it no matter what, like ragna doing hells fang. that is the difference, but it isn't true in CP.

not really sure it's the same exactly in CP, since 214AC is going to be really tight after 5cc and pretty close if not tight on other stuff
