Another thing to note is that the animation of Hamaon partially covers up the sprites, making the mixup really hard to see. Godammit why can't I play Naoto already

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PdQYoSIT0Q#t=11m34s Just putting this here to showcase something really dumb I saw. Naoto did Hamaon (or whatever it's called) as a wakeup attack which locked down Chie, then, seeing as she seems to get free mixup off of it, hits with an over head and as the IK also hits Chie as well, this triggers the fate IK too. Goddamn if I wasn't already sold on using this character already, but that seems so so silly. This could possibly be used for some filthy comebacks if you tick the fate counter down fast enough, add that in with the free extra meter on awakening and man it almost seems too good in theory

That pretty impressive dude I think this the only game i've really been on the fence for. And by on the fence, I literally mean I am totally confounded on to whether to get or not.

Jann Lee/Ayane> All of your 10 hit kick juggle bullshit Don't make me WAAAATAAAAAH! you again child

Just for that, I'm buying it to spite you. Hey, at least it gives us another game to mash on instead of playing BB like we always do. It still won't beat DoA4 though, that game is incredible.

Alright thanks man, I'll give it a try a bit later and see if I can dig anything up.

B-but Poison and Asuka and Rolento an..... Maybe you're right ._.

I apologise but I don't quite understand what's being discussed here, is this a mixup involving JC 3c on block into an instant j.dd>j.b or empty jump low because the J.dd seems hella obvious and unsafe. Sorry for my ignorance here but could someone quickly elaborate? XD

Hmmmmm, to get SFxT or not, I mean, I could probably get it for like £20-£25 but it looks like such a bad game. But, it also looks hella fun to mash on. What do guys?

I'm coming over yours yeah?

Damn straight I am! Can't wait to use Akihiko and Naoto, I did want to try out Mitsuru too but her gameplay seems a tad bland for my tastes at the mo.

Well then get an Xbox scrubmeister

The matches between Buppa and Shadow has me pretty much set on Naoto and Mitsuru. Just need to see some videos of Akihiko and i'll be good. The game does look surprisingly fun as well.

I actually got back in time for the one yesterday. But my poor grandpa doesn't know his way around London's tube so I had to escort him back home

I don't see you with the luscious flowing locks Keebs, talk about calling the kettle black. Now me on the other hand, with beautiful, thick fiery mop. Like that badass Arcanine.

That's bloody impressive man, most I can manage is 3 and even that's pushing it *congratulatory slap on the back*

How many characters do you play by the way, so far i've counted around 3. XD

A very solid XBL Valk who goes by the name of Kairn Drakhoul. A smashing guy too.

Won't be difficult, he plays Tager. NO DASH FOR YOUUUUUUUU!

Unfortunately I may not be able to make it seeing as I am in East Anglia University until 3 O'clock on an open day. HOWEVER! I may just get back in time to expose Kiba like the fraud that he is. XD Are you coming down or something then? =0

My avatar is on some next level sexy ting. Honestly I don't see why he hasn't changed his GT to HexaScrub or HexaFree yet. Love ya Hex <3

Haha it's just banter, you know us two are best of friends. Of course I still think he's a D mashing scrub, but he's a nice D mashing scrub at least Honestly if you think that's bad you should be round mine when we're together, you would think we hate each other.

I object to this...

As promised, here are a few little details about this matchup that I picked up fighting a very good Noel for about 50 games earlier this week: 1. This is the big one, Led Ley is particularly bad in this matchup, never under any circumstances use it without Ignis out. As Noel relies on stagger pressure using various A, B and C normals (the former which have rather low recovery time) the chances are that you are going to be punished for using it without Ignis active are very high. 2. Her 4d is absolutely absurd now, it goes through anything that aren't lows/moves that hit below the knees or throws. ANYTHING. It also leads into big damage anywhere on the screen and on fatal it's worth using a burst. What I tried to do is keep to using 2b or 3c whenever I was pressuring her with Ignis in order to scare her into not using 4d so that you can pressure 'normally'. CH 3c goes into big damage and is relatively safe on block so don't be afraid to throw it out if you think the noel is getting too comfortable with 4d. It's also worth noting that 4d also beats a raw jump>airdash>J.b>J.c cleanly. 3. 2d can also be another potential problem, it hops over moves that hit below the waist/knees and so pressuring her on wakeup without Ignis/pressuring her generally without Ignis turns into a guessing game between 4d and 2d. The better part about this move is that it goes into less damage than 4d on hit. 6d will beat this move and also score a counter hit which you can confirm into good damage, so pressuring with lows>6d covers both 4d and 2d reasonably well. On block it is easy to punish with throw/2a if she follows up with a forward moving drive move or dash 2b if she chooses to 4d. Be wary of assault through though, if she does this after 2d, block and punish for free. 4. Her fast dash can make it hard to get Ignis out safely at neutral. 5. In this and the Lambda matchup it is more unsafe to try and summon Ignis whilst airborne if you are even remotely close to her. Her airthrow range is huge and leads into good damage midscreen and even better in the corner, so try to get Ignis out safely at a good distance on the ground. That being said, her air-air game is pretty darn weak and your neutral game is arguably better than hers as well, especially with Ignis out. 6. Her pressure can be a tad tricky to get out of without Ignis at your back due to our rather slow A normals. Luckily, her 2c is now only +1 on block so it is now possible to mash out of some strings which may have been impossible in CS2, and even easier on IB. From my experience, my 2a beat 2c>dash 2a and a few others which I will dig up later on. Respect 2a>delay 2a though, it's pretty solid. With Ignis out it is much safer to use Ley and to turn the tides in your favour. Do be careful of 2c>delay>5c as a frametrap to bait mashing/IB, it hurts like a bitch. Honestly i'm seeing this as 5-5 at best, 4.5-5.5 Noel at worst. If I remember anything else I'll make sure to edit this post. If anyone else more experienced would like to change anything please do.

Not trying to be a dick, but would you mind expanding on what you mean by this? I mean, it's all well and good that this may be the case, but what exactly is it that we can do with Ignis to ruin his curse game?
