Dreiko

When nearish to the corner, there's enough time to dash up and add a final 6H in the end there, I find that as her best oki ender, she always gets meaty 214K off of it.

In the corner vs some chars you can do the above and add 4S>236S at the end, the multiple 236H route doesn't avoid the RRC forced proration so it leads to less damage.

This combo is actually very easy to extend, just do 6(H) as opposed to 6H (fire beam does oodles of hitstun) and you can land an extra 236H afterwards, into better oki. My go to thing is variants of: 5K 5SS 5H 2D 236S RC 214H dash6P 6(H) 236H > set up oki I like this the best cause you avoid the rrc forced proration when done right since 6P hits after the slowdown. edit: 6H combos into gamma ray when air hit and charged too, so something like fuzzy bubble into it actually works (bubble does enough hitstun to allow a fully charged 6H to combo and buffering gamma as you hold down H is easy)

There's stuff that let you do infinite reps of the dust-launcher at the higher levels actually so yeah, it'd be kinda silly to keep that in.

From what I've seen so far, people ignore his 6A which apparently is +. Not sure why. Also, regarding damaging combos, it seems finding ways of going into 6C route combos is the way to deal good damage so hitconfirming into it will be central to his play. I see a lot of early players not knowing how to do much at all and just do basic things into 214C but I'm sure eventually when they explore the proper routes for stuff this will change.

Oh yeah we have known this for a while. Explosion is a D followup after you GP something like the teleports. It's invincible and fatals and is very very very safe though so if he could just do it for free it'd be beyond stupid.

6C>jD>5B worked when the jD connected with the foe at a certain height and above since that prolonged the hitstun enough to allow for it. If it's just doable now it would either mean jD causes more hitstun or 6C pops them up quite a bit higher up than it used to. Nudity explosion seems fast, I have NO idea why he wasn't going into it off of 6D, I'll chalk it up to just being not used to the option or something. j623B has a LOT more hitstun now so you don't need to mussasabi or delay it significantly to get 5B to connect off of it but it might still be a thing worth doing for an optimization purpose.

There doesn't seem that anyone's busted actually.

5C>5D is a thing now apparently since 5D launches on hit. I wonder how unsafe it is on block. edit: B nail glide is back. It seems to have no landing recovery like A nail too. edit 2: 2D jump cancel on block is back

Daifunka nerf hurts my heart and 5D seems very slow now but everything else looks great. Kinda expected the 5D change due to the removal of SMP to be honest lol.

J22A is not tied to jump stock any more (we've known this since some old loctest months ago I believe, you can see me mentioning above that it doesn't consume air options in fact! :D) so yeah you can use it in more situations, such as after an airdash. The bumper cancel is both on block and on hit it seems since you see 623B get blocked. What I wanna see is if you can bumper dash cancel his CT since in this game CT guard crush doesn't let you punish them with a good button but maybe Bang can do it with a bumper in there by just dash canceling the CT like he does 623B.

I just try to be fair to every type of being. The way things appear in her eyes (and the braindamaged Fuminori's) are really not any more "wrong" or "right" than the human's. They're an irreconcilable difference, definitely, and if I was in that universe I'd be packing some kind of cryo-bazooka with me at all times, but at the same time I can't fault her for doing what is natural for her race of beings to do and admire for her to be able to look past it. It'd be hypocritical as a human being to do this, since we do what she does to every other inferior species around lol. Also, we never really see what Fuminori looks like in HER eyes. He probably looks like those monsters lol.

No I know what you mean but her being nice even to these two, her being able to see the potential for them to be more than just a source of food and being able to care especially for Fuminori on that level...can you say people would share these feelings about any trees? Even really special trees? I know the term "tree-hugger" but even that is not on this level of actual emotional connection, of seeing the source of food as your equal or someone you're willing to risk your life for. From her eyes, she has no reason to be nice to them any more than people have the need to be nice to trees basically, even a tiny bit of niceness to just these few people puts her morally above humans when examined in-context.

Dengeki I mean, to her people are like trees are to us. She just sees food hanging and grasps it and eats it. Perceptions, man. If anything, she's much more kind to people around her than we are to trees.

Eating them.
