Son of a Gun

Damn, I really need more than this trailer, I'm so hyped right now. Long live Guilty Gear!

I'll only have my PSP for a long time I fear. And I can't get BB: CSII here in EU Unless I bring my PS3 to the other side o/t world and I'm afraid thats not an option...

This is why I REALLY hate the paid DLC stuff. I have no decent way of training against her. I only have vids on youutube and online sessions. I don't see a lot of Plats, but when I encounter them it's usually like: "WTF can she do that?", "what was that?", "Shit this didn't work either", "Hmm..KO". I see missiles and bombs and I end up in a bubble or whatever... By the way, those vids are't encouraging either. A lot of them are Rachels getting beaten up, among which some very good players.

Don't forget the tea though.

Congratulations! And also: Thanks for getting Rachel in a high ranking place in a tourney. Makes me think: Even after the CS2 patch there are still so few Rachels around, or least on streams from (big) tournaments as far as I know..

I recently started playing GGXX#R again just to see how it was/felt. Of course I still loved it, but being used to BB now really gave me the feeling that 'this could have been more'... Obviously I'm not talking about gameplay. But Tutorials and Challenges could have made it more accessible I think, and I'm not only talking about newbs. By now I don't need a tutorial of course, but I was thinking about the time when I was playing the game for the first time and mainly being used to games like SSFII had a tough time getting used to game mechanism. Also the combo counter from BB is great and I'd like to see that in any fighting game. Conversely, BB could really use the 'record' option from the GG training mode. And a better Story mode would definitely be a plus. I would like that because with all the added characters the story has become kind of messy compared to BB. I'd really like to see a thorough story mode with a 'True Ending' in a GGXXX for PS3 one day, especially because the GG story rocks.

Thanks, looking back at it I understand.

1)I like how Hina returned the favor of a perfect match to that Noel. 2)I love Masahi's flashy play But he seems to depend a LOT on wolf mode. In one of those vids he was really waiting to charge wolf meter after failed to command grab for more [w]meter. And that double failed Burst attempt in last vid was just painful D: But I'm relatively new to Valk, so I wondered: Why did Hina RC'd his DD?

Me too and j.2C being cancelable compensates a bit too.

It's just that I enjoyed the incidental "F**K U!" messages I sometimes received when I won in CT. Back when people had yet to learn a little vampire girl could toss them around the stage and electrify them when trying to advance. At the same time I shall confess that I subbed Hakumen then and still like him.

Beating people up with lolis is fun. Particularly when people choose characters because they'd like to associate themselves with tough guys with swords and stuff.

I think this topic can be handy for aspiring Valk players. Asking *stupid* beginner questions in combothread won't contribute to the thread I think. Sort of like the SRK "Saoikyo Dojo": 'No question is too basic here!' I personally have played Rachel since first days of CT and still main her, but have Valkenhayn 'ambitions' as sub. Right now I don't know much about him yet. - I have VERY basic questions like is it at all possible to end a mid-screen combo with 6C or Nacht Rozen? - Or what NORMAL moves can follow up into wolf? When I try to got into wolf mode after moves like A,B,C I'm never on time to continue a combo as wolf. Same from wolf to human btw. Exception is wallcombos (and specials ofcourse).

Years of playing Guilty Gear XX made me craving for more ASW. The fact that a new fighting game was made by Arc System Works was enough for me to buy it. That was CT, and bought CS after CSII update.

Yes you're right, stupid of me. I was skipping through it and only paid attention to the last one. I should've given a link. so people know what I meant. But this is probably what you meant to do in the end in the first link.

I've seen you do a few Baden Lily -> (Aerial) Tiny lobelia instead of 2C. Is that by accident or were you trying to set up a combo? I'm curious in case it was supposed to be a combo set up, what combo you planned. I also saw a few slip-ups with comboing in air and finishing with 2C which is no critique but made me think of myself haha. Also nice use of George, and rods But really, dropping everyone else seemed to have payed off I guess. You're pretty good!

OK wow... But the Rachel channel would be great. Checking all the Wuku and Sesu vids is interesting but having a collection of some just-Rachel stuff and those short clips at the same YT channel would be ideal!

You GOTTA check out the Fury stages, they're awesome.

Thank you for that Still haven't seen Shadowloo videos for BB tho..

I posted this in another topic but someone pointed out I'd better post it here. I'd like some advice for good ways to use Rachels Astral. I usually end up only using it in corners, but are there good ways to use it elsewhere, let's say mid-stage?

Ah I see. Thanks I'll do that.

Can I ask something? I'm sorry that I'm quite new to DL and I don't have much to contribute right now. It's because I'm also quite new to BBCS2. But I'd like some tips for Astral setups.

I have quite some troube with fighting Taos these days. My biggest problem is where to counter her I guess. It's hard to take the initiative (for me at least) 'cause she's all over the place. Where to counter, how to counter or how to take initiative. For example I start with George or Pumpkin or Lobelia but with her triple jump she hardly touches the ground sometimes.
