And let's not ignore the fact that ignoring the bumper entirely is a mixup in itself.

If you just like to block. Play Bang. Seriously. If you're quick enough, you won't be blocking as much as other characters like Hakumen. Especially if you harness the power of 6D. *But learning and mastering the 623 input is pretty much...Well. No. You need it without question.*

What condition is the TE in? Like specifically.

This match has really awkward footsies sometimes and I pretty much always find myself crutching on 5B. It's really strong here since it's faster than pretty much all of his best pokes. You need to be liberal in it's usage. But just don't get too predictable. Play it safe and whiff punish any dumb move he uses. Respect the range of some of his moves (5D + 5C!) Because you (Well...I..) get counterhit by these moves a lot and it leads to really solid damage, especially if you get out-footsied by 5D. Now. Tager suffers from shit mobility. And no damage buff will ever change the fact he moves like shit. Bang on the other hand, moves like a London Commuter. So I reckon typical air shenanigans like j.4B and bumper setups should be used. (For real though. I condone bumper usage here.) Biggest advice would be to just play the matchup like you did in CS2, except you just need to respect his options a bit (Or a lot) more now. You need to play with a lot of variety, all whilst keeping an ace up your sleeve (FRKZ...) For when you literally need that "HnK" comeback moment. But obviously, you know the risks. You can airgrab stupid j.2C's, yet to my knowledge it beats 2D. Either block (IB!) or grab him if you feel the need. Respect mashed MTW's because my swedish friend literally makes it look like a full on DP. And since he can get solid damage from a followup into GF. I'd recommend looking at his heat bar a lot more than your own. Go to the Tager boards and download that Reset / Tech trap guide. Tager has a lot of new and confusing ways to take more of your health bar. I'd recommend delay-teching if you feel like some funky shit is going down because a lot of his setups such as (5A > 5B > 3C > AC Whiff > j.2C > 5B > 5C > 6A > 2C > AC Whiff > 720) Completely destroy neutral techs. But whatever, read up on it. Last but not least. 3C Punish dumb Voltic Charges. Be a man and 6D obvious Spark bolts. show him a little more respect. And abuse your mobility to the absolute maximum. DISCLAIMER: These are just musings. Some stuff might be wrong. But whatever, hoped it helped at least someone.

You could get a 2nd hand TE for roughly 80 like me then use the money to Mod is quick and cheaply. That Extra £30 could do a bit. But straight answer. No. But I'm biased towards my <3 Sanwa.

The basic rule of thumb for blocking is: Always block low and react to overheads (And possibly tick throws) It's a tried and tested system. But you ALWAYS need to watch for overheads, since people can use them first ect. It's worked for me since SSF2.

Lies. I spent 1 hour in Piccadilly / Trocadero and saw around 10 Cosplayers haha. Up here you only see rain and depression.

There's an Anime called Nemacon in Middlesbrough pretty soon. And I'm pretty sure they have BB tournys. Now. I love myself some Manga. But. I daren't go. Seriously. Middlesbrough is like Baghdad on a good day, but Anime fans in the north east? I cannot compute this shit.

Magneto in general requires quality execution. Simple Fly loops are really hard to learn. Basic Loop BNB Practice: S, JH xx Dash jM xx Fly, jl, (jH xx Dash) x n

I'd say the damage is laughable because I'm only really basic now. It seems you need to put in a lot of work or punish with extreme efficiency in order to break 5K. Just day 3 musings.

Mhm. So I'm balling around in training mode for a good 30 minutes with Tsubaki today. Practicing the green combos. Getting a feel for her and all that. Especially my defence game. Then, after doing my first Mugen combo (Nothing flash. Just a BNB really...) I just sat down and realised that her damage output is laughable. Seriously. She's fun, unique, and I like girls with red hair. But wow. Wow.

Magneto's Magnetic blast has to be the silliest input I've seen since Mu's new Distortion. j.896H? wut.

PSN is now called SEN? Pointless.

I can't understand the fascination with Minecraft. I played it on PC for about half an hour just like...Wow. This really sucks.

MY HOMIE. If I set up a lobby, do you fancy some games? It's been ages since I played with the Mu Clan.

My exam is on monday. But I have 4 hours in College before it. So until then I can't really see myself really buckling down. I'll end up forgetting it anyway. On a sad note. Ghostt92 has now become the No.1 XBL Hakumen in the world. With 200+ Incomplete games. Doing the UK proud there Fella'!

Yeah. Too many people run him as Anchor. Watching my team get Teleported to hell by X-Factor / No shades Wesker is so demoralizing.

Because WESKER

Yeah. You messaged me just as I was being forced to Skype mein Fuhrer girlfriend. She baits all of my burts then takes 2 Hours of my life meterless.

See. Every character goes through the "Oh shit new Sub!" Phase. Then im just like. Naw. Nobody is as fun as Bang...

I owe Izayoi a game. Also. I've (After 2 years) DECIDED ONCE AND FOR ALL. On my main two characters. Get hype. I still play everyone, but I now represent these two. Also. Why is Marvel so ridiculously un-hype and not fair? MVC2 was so much better. (Don't hate on character moving. I'm so picky it's unbelievable. But Tsubaki is calculated rushdown and an underdog. I need that moral highground when I lose)

Not sure of the numbers but Ashura is definitely - on block. It's really difficult to punish properly (-2? -7?)

Haha, I'm going to Norcal, Socal and Michigan in summer. Then when I come back to England I'm landing in Heathrow so from there I'm going straight into the heart of London to find a hotel, Spending 2 nights there waiting for my Bro to pick me up. So if I can, I'd love to come and play some games with you all. Funny thing is, none of these places have anything to do with FG's, I genuinely have family to see. Mwuhaha.
