Some other combos/setups for you guys: Corner: -5k, c.S, HS, rekka, rrc, j.D, 6[HS], BT c.S 214S [2], 2P, 8HS -CH 5HS, 6HS, 5P, 5K, 2HS, rekkas (the 6HS 5P is a link and works on standing or crouching characters, but the remaining combo will not at the max range 6HS) [4]6HS YRC mixups: -His j.P/j.K is an instant overhead on some characters getting up, so he has 50/50 options from [4]6HS yrc after rekkas midscreen. With proper timing, if you 66, jc, j.P at the right moment, you can get an IOH on Pot/Slayer/Ram/Ino (maybe more but I've confirmed on those). This will not work if they block the projectile first. The IOH must hit first, then the projectile. -If you have the meter to burn, 236HS yrc is great after this, forcing them to guess on 6K (anti throw) 2K/S (low), no yrc (crossup) Both of these options can be done midscreen. J.D delay yrc (after j.D activates) can serve as a marvel style tri-jump on oki, complete with 3-4 way mixup options. Because of the delay though, it may be impossible to practically use. Be wary (anti-leo strats): -If someone IB rekka 1, you can be throw out of rekka 2 -you can be thrown out of 236HS if you cancel from certain moves -The j.D yrc mixup isn't that hard to block for seasoned players, or people who know the options I'll post more as I find it.

GGs to everyone I played in ranked and player matches

I'll just leave this here (corner, awakening)-236B (FC), 5B, 2AB, 236A, 236D, 4A (236D hits), iad j.B, 2B, j.B, 236D, j.2B (236D hits),land, BD, land, 236236C, 214214A (SB versions of both work too). 5-5.7k iirc. 214214A (a version only) almost always links from 236236C/D in the corner, as long as the proration isn't too terrible, without OMC/OMB.

Why not use it on Kagura? You can punish his DP if he tries it, esp with your back to the corner

Replace Nose with Sandwich style Val tus and you get a 6-8 way mixup depending on the character. If you time it right, it can OS for sleepers and tech rollers.

GGs to everyone I played the past few days. VERY bad games to lag dropping game winning combos

Fixed that for you buddy :-D

Well I wasn't expecting to read that when I came back O_O GGs to mashharder, surfeit, tsuntenshi, solid_legend, trueabyss, and anyone else I played the past couple days. Fighting Hazama makes me want to murder small children holding fluffy bunnies while kittens prance around them with rainbows shooting out of their asses

GGs to everyone I played the past couple days. Lime and Aki, if you guys see me in arcade, please let me get some matches. I need Izayoi and valk exp VERY badly.

GGs to Toan and the awesome Tager I played earlier. Toan it's online, so it's whatever. Most of the time I was getting hit I just wanted to block lol. That MU is not fun for Azrael if I can't growler your normals :-( Apparently, none of my Extend mixups work in Relius vs Tager. That's quite....annoying.

I've been doing this midscreen from 5B/6A starters: 5BB OR 6A, 5B->3C, 2DC, [4]6A, 5B, 3C, 5DC, 2DA, [4]6B, 6C, 6DA, 2DB, Orb oki The 5DC, 2DA link is pretty tight, and this doesn't work from 5/2A starters. There are a few side switches, so this can be adjusted for corner carry.

HM hit it on the head with Relius vs Kokonoe. With Kagura, once she sets up lightning pillar, my options become EXTREMELY limited. I can try to jump and block it, but there's nothing stopping her from using that as a mixup opportunity with stein+ball+tp. If I make her block I can work, but he has extremely limited answers for super ball. I'd say it's 6-4; once that pillar drops he literally can't do anything, and her strings are so tight it makes DP un-reliable at times. It's very frustrating. With Relius I can at least challenge her at neutral, and make her respect my pressure.

GGs to everyone I played last night. Fighting Kokonoe with Kagura makes me want to murder small children and baby animals. Can we at least soft ban this bitch? This character does whatever she wants, whenever she wants.

GGs to all last night. Kokonoe is going to make me quit this game. What a ridiculous character.

HOW WONDERFUL IS THIS I'm in Nashville for a research conference this weekend, and was hoping to get in some games (P4A, BBCP, I'll play +R but dont' have it). I can PROBABLY (gotta check funds) throw in some $$$ for the rooms too, and I'd love to play you guys in whatever. Still working on getting a ride there (I'm at the Gaylord Opryland), so when you guys figure out the hotel situation let me know!!!
