Nothing really. Just the normal relaunch except it's pretty hard and annoying. Plat's hitbox is really gay.

Might I remind you there's a better version of that for some characters. Kinda like how j.6D worked in CS1.

I find it to be easier to damage them little by little with turtling and land a Mugen combo. It just feels like Mugen is underused so I try to use it in most of my matches. Same with Blood Kain but Blood Kain obviously much easier to combo in different situations and it only costs you 50. So I was wondering if Hakumen's defensive playstyle was suited for such a game plan.

How viable is it for me to turtle the match until I get 8 stars to land a Mugen combo?

Pick Hakumen. Fight a Platinum. 6D their 6B. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Dude I have no idea what you're talking about. I never got prompted for an update.

About 5 months till I could actually beat a good player. So yeah it took a while.

I don't see how you can dash Houtenjin to get to the opponent that is so far away after a 623D.

Yes I have. They're too far away for the 5C to connect.

Plat is the hardest one to relaunch. And Houtenjin is his kick super.

He meant he got down the mini dash practicing with Houtenjin after 6C CH because if you're not point blank 6Cing someone, Houtenjin won't hit them unless they are big hitbox characters like Tager and Hakumen. As for the maximum damage, j.6D > 66C is actually not the optimal combo with for the following characters I already posted: Ragna, Lambda, Tager, Makoto, Mu, Valkenhayn. For these characters, you should do j.6D > 66A combo instead and if you already have 100 heat, it nets you 9.4k with optimal starter instead of 8.5k. If you have 50 meter, it gives you more meter in return and still does more damage because you get an extra 5C > 6C rep.

I hope you don't play Tsubaki.

Hi. Get CS2 so you can play Hazama

I lol'd.

Wow I did not know Gashoukaku beats Hotaru on startup.

wtf? It was in the 3 part Haz tutorial vid. You do j.6D > 66A > 665C(2) > 6C > 66 > 2C > j.C x 5 > (optional) dash 5C > Houtenjin > 44 > 623D > 663C > Mizuchi instead. That's with a 6C starter. 5C starter gets you like... 8.8/8.9 Edit: Works on Ragna, Lambda, Tager, Makoto, Mu, Valkenhayn and possibly Platinum. The rest were too far to be picked up with dash 2C. If anyone can think of a replacement for dash 2C, please do.

I hope all you Hazama players know to use the 9.4k combo against Ragna when you have 100 meter.

stuff > j.6D > stuff > dash 2C or dash 5C 2C > stuff

Yeah but I meant the full relaunch. Obviously you go for the Jakou loop on Tager whenever you get a 6D/623D etc. hitconfirm.

True but you get 1k less damage. Although because of how much easier it is, it might be worth it.

You don't HAVE to do Jakou loop on Tager. You can to the j.6D on him as well.

I know what it is <_<

Proration. How many normals do you use before the Houtenjin? And... interesting username. lol

wtf. I thought it doesn't work. All dem Japanese Haz go for straight up dash 5C. I don't get it...

I think it's easier to learn harder combos that other characters have and then play Tager. It levels up your execution and you get a basic knowledge of the game and the rest of the cast. My execution was really bad until I played Guilty Gear and CS2 on the PSP for about 4-5 hours a day and in training mode. That boosted my execution tenfolds and I'm assuming it can work for you as well. It's better to start with the harder things. If you're having difficulty keeping up with all the inputs, try doing the combos part by part till you get them down and then combine them all under one combo. As for needing stick... let's just say there's no need for one. I'm very comfortable with my dpad and the only characters I think need the use of a stick are Carl and Arakune because it's hard to manage the buttons in such a cramped space. Of course all this is for execution. If you want to get better at the game, you just have to play other people consistently.
