That sounds. pretty fun to do actually. I can just imagine how funny it'd be to be able to place a water bubble wight next to me only to have my opponent whiff their normals everyday when they'd otherwise hit. I saw an Ice Maori in a combo vid once. That damage was off the charts. there's a lot of people saying to use Love. Is it really -that- good?

Ok, so, thanks to the combined efforts of people in this thread( 'preciate it, by the way ), I now have my rushdown character I'm going to be maining for practice with rushdown(Lilica) and someone I'll be subbing so I can fall back on zoning for those times when I definitely will screw up my execution with Lilica; that person is Maori(It was going to be Scharlarot but I was looking up combos and other such things for her and to me, all of her normals feel like she's going in slow motion.) Can we discuss Arcanas now? what are effective ones for the Main and sub I've chosen(aside from defaults)?

Well, that would normally help but the thing is, I'm gay. Like....literally. out of all the ones you mentioned, I find the "Smaller, capable of dodging" one you mentioned the most interesting. Charge attacks are hit or miss depending on how long I actually have to hold. I don't know how people manage to hold back for 3 seconds on someone like Chun-li and then actually get Kikouken or Spinning Bird Kick to go into a combo somewhere but, that's another game. Rushdown I've never been good at when you compare it to how good I was at zoning, that being said I've come to appreciate rushdown way more than zoning and tried to learn how to back when I played(didnt really succeed but it's what it is).

Ok, so long story short, one of my friends insists I play this game. I don't even know what type of character I'm even looking for cause I stopped playing FGs a while ago. I was hoping maybe someone could suggest someone to me. I've played many different types of characters across countless fighting games so I'll consider anyone.

Thank you for all your help, I'm sure the match up should be easier with all this stuff.

This is another match up I have trouble with. My main problem is Johnny's j.Hs is difficult to anti-air for me, because some times he'll look like he's jumping at me, then double jump out of 6p or 6s and ensenga or divine blade (depending where he ends up) so it's difficult to know when to commit to an anti-air. Other things 've noticed is that Johnny always has frame advantage, I think it has to something to do with Mist Stance (I think he said he cancels his strings into mist stance ans presses hs to cancel mist finer). He also seems to have a pretty identical optimal range to Briget. I'll be almost half a screen away, and I'll get hit by Johnny's f.S out of the Roll trying to put some space between us. And one more weird thing, some times I feel like Jackhound has more stun than other times? Like some times I can mash out before he combos me, and other times I can't. Also, some times I'll block a max range f.S and Johnny'll wave dash or 6kfrc at me and throw, is there something I can do about this? Thank you in advance for your input.

Um...I thought it'd be okay to post a new thread in here since it seems AC+R will be out soon. I have a friend who plays Potemkin and I have a hard time against him. The first thing it that I can't figure out what to do to keep in Bridget's optimal range, out of Potemkin Buster Range. Everytime I try to poke him with 6S or f.S he just Hammerfalls through it and God help me if I'm knocked down. When ever I try to jump out he just uses Heat Knuckle, or sometimes Heavenly Buster, and it I stay on the ground, he does some slidehead thing. Also, what kind of things should I do on his wake up? If I backdash and try to use f.S on his wake up, he hammerfalls, if I stay close he Busters. This match is supposedly in Bridget's favor, but I can't figure out what I should be doing I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for your input, I just started learning Bridget, so I don't know very much about how to play the character, so this information is valuble to me. I do think I could use a bit more match up information, but I know this isn't the place to ask. I don't think anyone will mind since Accent Core's days are almost over if I post a vs. Johnny or vs. Potemkin match-up thread. Potemkin especially, I don't really like having to play differently to avoid his overly long reach Potemkin Buster.

I'm not too sure I'm playing Bridget right. I was playing some games with a friend of mine, and he normally plays Johnny and Potemkin. I got into the heat of the moment and started complaining about the stuff Johnny could do, so he switch to his crazy Heavenly Buster spamming Potemkin, and after a few wins, he decides to troll me and pick Bridget, who he's never even played before. To my surprise though, he beat me then too. I would press f.S and he would be just outside my range, then he would hit f.S and hit me into a short combo. He said something about just being good at spacing normals, and then he told me that "Sitting outside an opponents range and just poking with long range normals is probably Buri's style." Is that really true? Also, are Johnny and Potemkin really match ups in Bridget's favor? If it helps any, my friend is Destruction_adv if any of you have played him.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I also have another question, can you do 1-frame jumps by just hitting 7+p+k or do I have to do 8 then 7+p+k or 4+p+k? Thanks in advance.

I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it, so I hought I'd inquire here. How do you do a 1-frame jump in this game?

That's a bit of a bummer. It's a little discouraging, but I think Venom'll still be good,

This is so awesome, finally, I can see the changes we've been waiting to see so long. I really want this game to come out. If only we had a release date. I'm curious as to how the Venom changes affect him, would anyone more expirenced than I care to explain

Many thanks

I can't for the life of me get J.2d Down and all of the tutorials are in Japanese which I can't read. Someone please help me. I am having troubles with inputting 2D and jumping straight afterward only to have to do J.2C straight afterward. How does someone overcome this?

Hey all. I am trying my hardest to learn Carl and I have no idea where to begin. I can negative edge but that's really all I can do, is there someone that can help me? .....I want to have Nirvana babies.

Dear Dacidbro, can I challenge you to a match over netplay;your Bang vs. my Platinum?

crap, destruction leveling up his pressure, jokes on you,Platinum'll be god tier next game

I'm having trouble dealing with pressure, other than bat what do? besides the obvious learn to insant block. PS, I also need help with pressure and mix up, what kind of blockstrings should i use

Is there any way I can convince a Bang main to not be salty about Dream Sally oki? are there any real flaws in Dream Sally so that if there are I may point them out and silence the argument for good. If not, my next resolve is to throw said Bang player I'm thinking of into a pool and watch as he slowly and completely dissolves and makes the water taste like the ocean; then I'll go get some ice cream.

The Nails of salt. They burn. Seriously, is there any favorable option that can be chosen for D nail? The blockstun on it is just enough usually for Bang to get in my grill and punch me in the face. also, is there any way to stop Bang from auto-guarding to victory or constantly pressuring you that I can do without DP bat AND stop the other player from being salty as hell? All of my friends do this and they don't think I have any legitimate arguments on the sole basis that Platinum is higher tier(the bad part is that yes, I do realize they are actually saying good things about Plat in a sarcastic manner.) I also need offensive options for when Bang uses gdlk defense and mix-up. Thank you sincerely.

I think my the reason why I chose Litchi can best be told with a story. It was long ago, Blazblue Calamity Trigger had just came out no long ago. I was just starting to really get into fighting games again after not having touched Guilty Gear for a very long time(I have had a lot of Guilty Gear games, Dust Strikers, #reload, Accent Core just to name 3. All of them seemed to just come and go for extremely coincidental reasons that were beyond my control. To list those would be derailment of my story though.) Throughout CT and at that time, I had no doubt in my mind that Noel would be the one I stick with but, after CS came and was out for a while I began to get really really good with Noel and it felt great to beat all of my friends a whole bunch who are into the game like I am but, after a while, playing Noel didn't have that spark with me anymore, that thing that made her fun for me, she felt kind of...soulless and when I can't put my heart into something, I'm the kind of person that loses faith in what I'm doing and eventually stop. On top of that everyone around me kept complaining about me. There's only so much salt one can take before he has a heart attack. Anyway, I talked to my best friend of 6 years who is really into Blazblue like I am and voiced my concerns about the empty feeling and the complaints and he told me and he more or less told me to give Litchi a try since I told him that I Always pick girl characters in fighting games(not on purpose oddly enough). I tried on and off with Litchi until I gave up; I picked up Lambda instead and made lots of progress and stuck with her instead. Cs2 rolled around and so did Platinum The Trinity and as predicted she is really fun for me; nothing changed with Lambda and I'm still really good with her and I feel I'm doing even better with either of them than Noel but with Platinum and Lambda came a voice in the back of my head that kept nagging that I gave up on Litchi too quickly and to give her another chance. Eventually I gave in and found Litchi extremely hard(as in The execution barrier and timing are uphill battles with me) but, I'm now slowly making progress and having lots of fun while I'm at it. And here we are. tl;Dr - WAS a Noel hipster. Lolis, Robots and Meat Buns are cool.

Thanks Lord Knight ; I'm really just starting out in trying to make Litchi my sub so this is really helpful. Great job at revLAtions by the way, Especially against Coopa.

I can't seem to find a use for Litchi's All Green distortion other than anything ending in [m]6C. Can anyone enlighten me?
