Oiboi

Tiamat liked my dog, but his sword was so much better than mine. Of course, I never really got up to speed at that tournament (which kind of bothers me) but I'd definitely want to fight him again. Anyways, My swords atrociously terrible -.o I've been practicing since the tourney, seeing if I can't fix that, but it's kind of hard to get out of bad habits. Although, I'm definitely loving the new sword changes. They sound awesome. Might make my gameplay a lot better. I would like it if they lowered the massive pushback the sword has so that we can actually do some nice, good combos, not just 6-8 hits every now and then... But that's probably why they did that, huh?

I think it's safe to say that with all these changes to Zappa, He's going to be a very solid character; Even if the other characters changes outpace him, his new poke, moves, and peculiar new loops (The Raoh HS bounce, the new DA launches, etc.) will make him even more difficult to fight. They're obviously trying to make him easier to play, so that more people will play him, but they still kept him as random and difficult to fight. Suffice to say, I'm liking these new changes.

Oh right, that skipped my mind for some reason. Anything else?

Their definitely trying to even Raoh out, but it looks like they've made him even harder for people to fight. Other than the upwards and downwards Darkness Anthem additions, and the 6HS slide, are there any other changes to Raoh?

I just thought, will any changes to Zappa make JIing useful at all? Or is it still pointless? I'm wondering because of the new aerial sword move, maybe you can RC it and double jump to continue a combo or something. Anyone, thoughts?

I've been seeing a lot of that 'Blue' player lately. Also, did anyone notice the new orbs? I like the way the look now. Or maybe it's a mix of low quality and recolor thats making it look different to me... Who knows. EDIT: Ghost HS toss bounces off the wall now. It's the Zap vs May at the bottom, in the corner, the ghost bounces just above her head and comes back down. I wonder if S does too...

Ah, yeah, sorry for clarifying, I meant his force break. And I must have missed it on page 4, you know how your brain kind of sees things but doesn't really register... Thanks anyways! EDIT: After seeing that Force Break, and the mega Abusability of f5S (that player loved to use it), I can't wait for Accent Core. Not that I could have before. I'm loving some of these changes, after seeing them in action.

Alright, I'm still having trouble finding a video of the unsummon, and I really want to see it cuz it sounds great. Can anyone help me with a link or something?

I don't think the Raoh combo is necessarily completely gone. I bet if you did 6HS 66 2S or 2H, it'll pop them back up, and you can do 236S or something from there. Might only work in corner, but thats my 2 cents about it.

I posted a reply in the strats thread. Trying to keep it organized, is all.

Any word as to whether the timed summoning system was true or not? As in, if you summon when the last number on the timer is 1,2, or 3 controlled which summon you got?
