Wow 16 years later and they still don't know wtf to do with Ky. How does j.S whiffing even making any logical sense.

I think it's in a bit of favor for Izayoi. The only real disadvantage Izayoi has is she cant get Tsubaki off her reliably. If the Tsubaki manages to get in anyway. Izayoi can keep Tsubaki out if they make the right calls. And gain stars in the process. Izayoi has better neutral dominance in normal mode and out damages Tsubaki in both modes. Her basic NM neutral can prevent Tsubaki from gaining charges when away. And 46D to stop sabre isnt as good as you'd think in the matchup. But if Tsubaki does get in and hasnt gain a decent amount of charge during neutral Izayoi's has a decent amount of time to get her off of her and reset positions. IB Barrier pushes out Tsubaki really easily too.

Maybe. All in all I think the matchup is pretty even though. It was hard at first but when I become better with Izayoi it wasn't as difficult.

I remember when we fought I did 5B once at match start and 3C beat me

I don't autopilot teleport forward specifically because of situations like this. Can't vouch for other Izayoi's though. She's really minus on 623B/C > 214A/B. If I see they blocked it i probably wont do anything or do 214C at the last moment. Or I may just 214C anyway not caring if it hit or not. Plus shit loses to 3C hard why would they do it at match start. Best thing to do against this character at match start is walk backwards or crouch there for a split second to see if they'll do anything. Or 3C if their dumb enough to keep attempting 5B/623B

Depends on how close you were when you block the anti air

Hm. I'd say it's best to actually know/play a character before you say stuff like that. She has j.CD oki in NM and gets about 3k+ damage off almost anything that isn't an S starter. NM is moreso footsies/zoning than anything else while GA is straight offensive in most cases. A lot of people seem to be turned off from NM because her mixup isn't really there and her pressure/combos are little hard to handle when your doing the more advanced stuff. Im finding maximizing the potential in NM to be the hardest thing about this character. Both modes are good. It's just easier to visually see how much better GA is to NM. But that's not to say NM's only use is getting stars. She's capable of a lot more in it. It's just people don't take the time out to learn

GA is ok but NM leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't even call NM pressure "mixup". I don't really have a word for it.

I'm not expecting another one jump on block but the gats that I want to see are 5B > 2B 2B > NM 6C NM 5C > 6B All 3 would mostly benefit normal mode. Which could use a little more versatility. Her Gain Art gats are fine mostly. Thinking about her movement I wonder if she'll be able to jump cancel 5C with a 7 jump, then 66 hover in extremely quickly and j.B before she hits the ground from the descent. Or well maybe land and do 2A/B. That'd be pretty damn gdlk

Hm. Remember though when they said something about sprites being completely redone and the like. And another thing that kind of got me thinking some sprites or outfits were changing besides Noel was when I saw Ragna's CP art. Which isnt accurate with his sprite anymore. Since it looks like Mori added a couple more things to his design. But making complete new sprites is expensive and the idea of doing so just probably drop. I do remember them mentioning that though. Or something along those lines.

I didn't misinterpret anything. I'm saying that using 236D during blockstrings isn't "yolo" like you stated. It's the 214D use that is. How is something risky when the opposing character is stuck in blockstun once they block 236D and usually their only option is to block right or counter assault. And if spaced right certain dps will whiff since Izayoi pulls herself back a bit during 236D's animation. The only risky parts of gain art pressure after 236D is going low or attempting throw. Or Hover j.C into another hover j.C. But only DPs and specific moves will stop that since the gap is so minuscule. Since thats when the gaps appear. In the corner she has a gapless high/low setup with 236D that also baits dps. She has a lot of options during her pressure. Maybe not as safe as other characters but it's still good. Her combos are a bit stale though. I'm hoping these new cancels their talking about means now combo routes.

What are you even talking about. If there was anything "yolo" about the average Izayoi it was their constant brainless use and following mash of 214D in almost any situation. Manly because they didnt want to learn gain art neutral. And now that it will cost 1 star they'll be using it even more. 236D is a legit oki option in a lot of matchups. "Brainless" use of it will just have you wasting stars. And the projectile lv was low and it would always disappear when it hit any other projectile which sucked. Even if you got them blocking it full screen certain characters can A or anti air you if you just derp and hover aaallll the way in from full screen. Other changes are cool but these two just annoy me. Costs shouldve stayed the same. Her new movement sounds like Aigis's Orgia mode. But not like it's going to matter since these fools didnt even take the time out to learn her movement even now because of 214D. Why make her gain art movement more difficult but at the same time lower the cost of an option that allows you to bypass said movement. #Arcsyslogic If anything, the 2 stars for 236D may be justified because her movement is better. Maybe she can do it fullscreen and actually hover in in time to start pressure now.

ggs. i just started playing him really. 250+ matches and Im still not really sure how I should be playing him. I've been thinking of treating him like he's a second Tager. Need to clean up my play because it was pretty sloppy sometimes. That feel when you think you have a charge and then try to do the special only for him to just stand there. I started to act the hell up near the end because I got tired of getting hit by 6B. Don't even think I blocked it on reaction even once. Shit is so frustrating

I don't think it's Noel so much as it is the people who play her. Noel's a pretty cool char design. I played her for the last couple months of EX and had fun. It's those Noel players though. Or should I say player. It's like it's one persons on every single account playing every Noel at the same time. No matter what situation you place them under they react the same exact way and never stop. I avoided her in EX because the Tsubaki vs Noel matchup was fuck all. Izayoi vs Noel is a lot more manageable. So I'll actually play Noel's when I see them... usually. I hate the people who play her the way they do. Not the char herself.

So, does this man have some type of unlisted invul on his normals because this shit doesn't make any sense. I was Izayoi and I did a meaty CT setup on a Jin and he emergency tech'd and immediatly pressed 5B. My CT whiffed through him and I was CH. I know CT's are only active for 1f but wtf Second situation happened awhile ago. I was blocking as Kagura and I attempted a counter assualt. The Jin was just doing normal pressure and pressed 5C. Kagura's entire knee went through Jins body. Not even the little invul indication thing shows up. Shit just goes through him. Why did those happen exactly

Hrm. Surfeit88. But ggs

What kind of high school did you go to. By my posts don't you realize I'm someone who doesn't really don't give or take any shit from people. I don't think it would be wise to slap a person like me I wasn't mad or stressed when i fought you or made the post. Was just baffled by your play. It boggled my mind how people would fight you and never say anything about what they just experienced. Well anyway. You yourself just said your bad. So don't speak as if your legit shit when your most def are not.

This fool here.. I don't even know where to start with you. I almost never do this but you honestly believe your a good player. Nah nigga. Valk is just a really really good character. But you just have your head so far up his hairy ass you don't actually see how terrible you really are. Or maybe you do. That's why you play him. I for one know I'm not a good player so I never pretend that I am. I'm pretty bad. My reflexes are ass and I'm eating throws and overheads all day. Hell I still eat freaking pink grabs despite how long I've been playing this game. I play with my emotions occasionally which is almost never a good thing. My pressure needs some work and my reads could be a lot better. But I know my problems as a player. And I never delude myself into thinking there's nothing that needs to be worked on. I'm trying to improve all the time and I know it's going to take quite awhile. But you. I was playing you seriously until I got you blocking and I delayed 5BB and i saw you do 3 backdashes in a row. Granted this is almost as soon as I fucking touched you at the beginning of a round. Knock you down, you roll and do 236A almost 100% of the time wtf. Or just tech 236A on your wakeup. Upback j.C during pressure because YOU NEED TO GET OUT. Because obviously there's something extremely wrong with the game if your ever caught blocking. Notice you stupid ass, after round 1 i did nothing but mash and dp. And for 7 matches you won because I kept doing it. Also corpse beating me like it meant something. Then on round 8 your pretty much double perfected because I stopped acting a fool. Your a not a good player. Hell your not even a good scrub. Your just a fucking fraud. You might as well add 10 more <3's to your posts because you'd be less than nothing without Valkenhayn. Shoutouts to character carried players

You try to learn a matchup but then people start fucking trolling and doing stupid shit when they lose. It's netplay when their losing and it's lol netplay when their winning. People play too goddamn much and it isn't funny or even the least bit comical. Can barely get any type of games without people acting the fuck up in almost any situation you put them under. Every night someone does something magnificent and logically impossible. It never stops jesus christ. Niggas would kill their moms if it meant they didn't have to block on wakeup ever again. While replaying Overhead: The Movie, Documentary, Autobiography, The Feature Film 3D every time they get on with a big ass grin on their faces. It's just buttons pressed until the eventual fucking overhead comes. Then they want to burst immediately when their constant backdash/roll/no tech/mash/dp/nonsense is punished or baited on their wakeup or during pressure. As if to say "That wasn't supposed to happen". Then don't do it in the first fucking place. BGs to every I fought tonight. I'm just going to stop giving a shit and start doing the scrubbiest crap I can think of

It's funny how after we finally play it says we're 2 bar. Lying ass freaking game. Shits been lying for 2+ months.

How can this games netcode be so damn bad and bipolar. Past 3 days has been nothing but lagspikes. Freaking 0 disguised as 2s and 1s disguised as 3s

Man I tried to play some "real" games with you about a week ago but you just sat there for most of the rounds and eventually stopped after like 4 matches. So no I'm not going to play you. Playing you doesn't do anything for either of us. If I hadn't posted something for you to reply to this odds are everyone would have either not posted for awhile to avoid the awkwardness or just ignore you. At least I said something. If your tired of 0 bar randoms then stop playing the shits. If you dont agree to play them then you'll never play them. If a match is too laggy then just get the hell off. Your in new york, you should have 2-3 bars with a good number of people on EC. I honestly think people just don't want to play you because of your attitude. It's stupid to continue playing or asking for a set when your as pissed as you are. Netplay will always have bullshit because of all the dumbass people in it. Just take a damn break or find a new hobby. Because the people aren't going to change. But if you choose to keep playing then find whats wrong with your play. Watch replays and figure out what your not doing

Your mad yet you still want to do a set with someone. Either get off the goddamn game or go into training mode. Your a broken record. Your playing the exact same way you've been playing since a year ago. The hell have you been doing all this time

I'd imagine so. Doing run up DP whiff > dash DP > RC > 6B must have killed a couple brain cells every time you attempted it. Should probably consult a doctor.
