Not sure if he has an alias or who he runs in Yata. He understands a bit of (simple) english too so maybe you can squeeze some info out of him about other top players in the jp scene. **IF YOU USE ANY OF THE VIDEO MATERIAL FOUND IN THE LINKS BELOW, PLEASE SEND A FUCKING REQUEST/PM/DIRECT MESSAGE TO THE OWNER ASKING IF YOU CAN USE THEIR VIDEOS FOR PERSONAL USE (e.g. upping vids to youtube) BEFORE JACKING THEIR SHIT.

...Great question! I actually pretty hype that now thread respondents can be engaged in thought-provoking discussion! Ok, so let's look at some of the attributes for two: Kou -Fast ex fireball, 2hits, launches on hit (this makes for "interesting" full screen confirms if stocked with an extra level) -Tatsus dont launch and have -f on them (ex tatsu though is +1 which could set up some RPS action) -Super Fireball is great utility super and is easily confirmable/comboable (e.g. 2D> fireball > confirm hit and cancel to super fireball), also great when coupled with 5C in footsies -Multi-hit shoryu can be a bit tricky to parry, wakeup game and anti-airs are a teeny bit stronger with this? (I guess) Because of Kou's stronger ex fireball, I feel she can play more effectively as a zoning character but in this respect she also seems as if she'd be very meter-dependent. When stocked w/ a level, i think she can get more out of a footsie game than Crow could due to having tools like 5C>super fireball cancel. Reinforce this super and she'll be stacking on heaps of damage. Her in-game and mixups seem pretty much the same as Crow's (save Crow's ex fireball oki on some downs) Crow -Ex fireball travels much slower but allows crow to chase behind it and press parry attempts against it (however, it DOESNT TRAVEL FULL STAGE [for some dumb reason]) -LK tatsu launches and leads to nasty resets (e.g. lk tatsu > sj9 LP > walk under), only hits standing opponents though, hard to setup overall so you wont see it often -His frames are better than Kou's (no idea why) Crow http://wikiwiki.jp/yatagarasufg/?%A5%AF%A5%ED%A5%A6%A1%CACROW%A1%CB VS Kou http://wikiwiki.jp/yatagarasufg/?%B2%D0%C8%B4%B4%B7%B9%D4%A1%CAKOU%A1%CB -Super uppercut has more damage potential due to launcher (options to reset available too??) -Non-ex shoryu is one hit, makes his wakeup options easy to OS against because of this Crow's fireball game is probably a bit weaker due to slow traveling, single-hit properties on the ex fireball. BUT I feel the fireball/zoning game isn't really that effective overall due to the incorporation of parries in this game. The slow traveling speed of Crow's fireball does however allow him to press the opponent and try to thwart any attempts to parry the fireball and followup after a successful parry (i.e. have Crow follow up immediately and mixup attack levels). As you mentioned, Crow's mixup potential seems far more superior due to the launcher on LK/EX tatsu with the option to air reset and go for mixups after. In a game with stun, resets can be pretty intimidating. Crow may not be able to initiate a mid-ranged or zoning game as effectively as Kou but when he does manage to get in (has a great dash, parries create openings, ex fireball to transition to offense), the payout seems far greater in his favor. I'm still experimenting with Kou and this ranged-game though and there's a possibility my opinions about her may change completely within the next few mths. The game is also still pretty "fresh" and not a lot of matchup experience and theories are being put to test due to the minute exposure at the moment but I'm sure the overall view of Kou, as well as the rest of the cast, will evolve over time. Here's my current tier-list just for fun: S Jet A Hanzo Shimo A- Crow Jyuzu Kou B+ Chadha Hina Again, great questions. Hope more viewers will add to this discussion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SHrDqfKoXEo#t=18s the one in this vid is pretty nuts. checked it out already and works on all characters (starting from ex shoulder launcher). can sub the last super juggle hit for 5C > 214C reset shenanigans. this character is pretty damn fun! thanks for the bnbs to get me started.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qGkxRKNTgA4 HINA bnb's and minor strategy. covers combo options for a variety of situations as well: UOH, Bougetsuzan (412369p), Anti-Airs, BLCH hits, etc. http://wikiwiki.jp/yatagarasufg/?FrontPage JP Yata wiki with frame data and all that jazz. I'm pretty excited.

This is probably a retarded question but did you happen to let the health fully restore before executing the combo again. I know this game has damage protection (or guts or whatever it may be called) and that would certainly effect your numbers. Another thing that may effect your damage output is the super you have "reinforced". This increases power/damage for selected super art. If neither of these are the case then please feel free to ignore this moron.

the quote below should help... Game is pretty fun. I'm usually hanging out in the public lobbies around 10pm EST. Netplay is fairly decent, I recommend anyone who's enthusiastic about learning the game to give it a try. Also, there's a thread on SRK that gets a bit of activity. Kind of curious to see what other FG forums out there have dedicated threads for yatagarasu.
