You never seen me invites! Guess I'm to free.

Wait? Is everybody getting a pocket Slab?

What time you looking to play? Also, you coming to ARK V this weekend?

ggs to Badlime on rank... Need to learn that MU against good Naoto's.

Don't wait for the wall bounce. You have to "make" it wall bounce by dashing forward, otherwise they will just fall and you miss out on the combo.

I think 5C(1) will be the better string to throw out to train your opponent than the complete 5CC. I don't believe they can jump out of 5C>2C, seen several people get hit during the 5C>2C and it was a CH, which means they either stopped blocking or was holding up during it. Also 5D seems to come out quicker off 5C, making it a little harder to react to. Mixing up 5C and 5CC strings is what going to force people to actually block and react instead of chicken block the entire thing. Though I seriously wish either 2C was air unblockable or you could cancel 5CC into Bufu on block. Would make a world of difference.

TBH, I think it's a 3-7 only if the Mitsuru player is competent. There will be ton of people playing her, but how many of them will actually be good enough with her to be scary? Also, with an abundance of people playing that character, makes it easier to grind the match up to where you'd only have trouble with good ones.

She can't cancel 5CC into B.Bufu on block, otherwise her 5CC string would be a lot better. What I see good Liz players do is not rely only on 5CC string and mix it up well. Like if they're going to go into the 5C starter, they sometimes go 5C>2C/5D. It's quicker and provides an extra level to the meta-game since 5D comes out faster after one 5C and you can't jump out of 5C>2C string. Provides a mic up in its on from it's on, so they have to keep in mind the second C instead of getting used to the timing of 5CC into cancel. Also, 5AA> jc block string is actually really good. It's the fact that they mix the string up a lot instead of just going 5CC strings all the time.

Not saying I'm not watching them. Just saying, she's been out for several months the amount of notable players in comparison to other characters is pretty small. Way to many relying on 5CC strings. I seriously think that's a string that is easy to get stuck on auto-pilot with which is a bad thing in my opinion. 5D is easy to react to making 2C less scary. And I rarely see Liz uses 5AA>jc block strings, which is really good.

Speaking of videos, is it me or are a lot of the Liz players recorded aren't really that good. Very predictable, relying way to much on 5CC pressure and spamming 5D in very bad situations. Also using Agi at wrong places..... There have only been maybe two or three Liz players that went to work and weren't doing "dumb predictable shit".

Max range 5CC will cause the 2C or the B.Bufu to whiff. That's why you see a lot of Liz players sometime do 5CC into 5D reset attempt or straight into j.C.

I'm more interested in the possibility of R-Action>Concentration>combo since she can combo from her R-Action which I thought was impossible overall. I know R-Actions are super cancelable, so I'm wondering why this hasn't been attempted, that we know of.

True, not sure if anybody is willing to do it now though. The region lock debacle sort of knocked the wind out of people. I know my friend has the LE FFXIII PS3 he got when he was in Japan couple of years back but doesn't plan on importing it still because of that.

No importing it unless you have a JP/Asia PS3 lol. It's region locked.

Poison combos may be the way of the future. Just watched a Liz match against Aki where I watched his health drain an additional 20% after the combo before he could manage to get a hit on her.

Yeah, they would only have a few frame to react to it so they'd literally would have to guess high or low after the OMC.

Believe it's not safe on block without spending the meter to OMC it on first hit to make it a 50/50.

Looks like I'm going to have to get back into DL again when the game drops. Yo, Kiba. Didn't you know you was running things here as well lol
