Apparently he has.

He actually still has his UBs, they just can't be looped anymore. Although I don't see Carl making S-tier, he still looks to be strong in CP. If your friend wants to learn Carl, now wouldn't be a bad time to start since most of the Carl experience will transfer easily to CP.

Looks like I'm finally going to my first major

Kyaku's never putting on those boy shorts again. Chinese steam buns too strong. Last night, there was a qualifier where a Carl player, Nagakura, got a silver ticket to qualify for the gold ticket/block finals. Nagakura then lost to Mame's Tao, who ended up winning the block finals. As of now, the character count for the national finals are: - 2 Taos - 1 Hakumen - 1 Mu - 1 Litchi There's still plenty of qualifiers left. I'd be very surprised if no Carls made the national final.

I believe that fuoco's startup can still be interrupted. In past versions, however, and presumably this one, if you do a move with Ada that would consume the rest of her health, it won't be interrupted as long as Ada's not touched (even if Carl gets hit). That probably explains what happened in that video.

Just read that right now, thanks for clearing it up. I really hope I can make this.

I had a feeling that Aina Ashwin wasn't his real name lol. Considering how there isn't as much footage of Mucchi as there is of other Carl players, you'd be forgiven for not knowing him. Hell, I didn't know about him until the CS2 era and I nearly forgot about him until you brought him up. He is a very good Carl though, I remember that his team made it pretty far in BlueRevo (he entered under Akechi Kokoro in that tournament). IIRC, he was also the one who discovered Carl's ridiculous high damage combos in CS1 and made a few combo videos, most of which are not up anymore unfortunately. #ripjourdal Also, lol 5B anti-air

It's not character specific; they were joking lol

I thought all side tourneys have to be done on Friday? I just wanted to check since this could affect which day I'm flying in (provided that I'm able to make this).

I think you're misunderstanding something: Carl doesn't have to be that close to punish HF. If Carl's within midscreen (or even 3/4 screen) distance, he can easily punish HF. And 5D, while better than HF for hitting Ada, isn't really that great for hitting Ada either.

The hitbox of both parts of HF aren't that good, Carl can easily go over either part of the attack and get in. Considering how slowly HF recovers, you don't even need to get in immediately as you have a tiny bit of leeway when you're punishing this. Best case scenario: Ragna eats a combo. Worse case scenario (if you're not fast enough with this for some reason): Ragna recovers in time but now he has to block Carl and the playing field is no longer neutral.

But that's what we're talking about here: If Ragna hits Ada with hell's fang w/o meter, he can be easily be punished for it. Exactly how are you having trouble punishing it? It's certainly not impossible to do if I can punish it consistently.

It doesn't take good normals to punish hell's fang. Dash cancelled jump/air dash/a combination of the two blows it up for free as long as you're close enough (in which case, you probably are). Given that you're not an absurd distance away from Ragna, punishing HF is not very hard at all.

Considering the horrible recovery on HF and how Carl can get in on Ragna during that time, it's a questionable punisher at best.
