Unless you're specifically looking for UNIST footage, I would recommend you to look at Grove or Senaru vs Maakun to get an idea of how to play the matchup at a high level. Maybe it won't give you hope about the matchup, because Maakun doesn't give away wins easily, but it might give you some ideas to work with.

When you parry a move, it can't be cancelled into anything else. So several of Hilda's best pokes like 2B or 2C can be maneuvered around by parrying. In addition, ic5C (charged 5C) is a free punish for Akatsuki if he parries it, just dash up and 5B (or dash 6C if you've practiced that). Only go for 6B when she starts to low shield brazenly, you'll just kill your pressure if it gets blocked. Switch between frame traps, pressure resets, 214A and throws to keep her on her toes. If 214A hits meaty it's plus on block, but I haven't researched what setups work against Hilda. On a hard read on a lynchpin in a block string, do 236A IW for huge damage. Remember that your IW has good range, and raw IW is a solid threat if she starts getting predictable with her block strings.

The MS nerf is what's making me nervous. I didn't mind that they nerfed his mixup or his reversals or his GRD-gain, but if they're doing all that AND nerfing his neutral, I'm not really sure there's a lot left that I like. I hope they at least make air MS usable. The move looks so baller, yet is so worthless.

Destrade made a tweet about Gordeau when they nerfed Grim Reaper that he didn't think Gordeau was worth maining anymore because he no longer has any unique advantages. I don't know if he's being really pessimistic or not, but it's a shame if Destrade stopped playing him when ST arrives.

This is the good stuff.

I wouldn't mind. Skypename: neophos

That would be great! I'm currently in the process of finding or making prizes, and we'll see if we can't get this up and running for next week. Currently the day seems to be tuesday evenings, starting around 1800. If someone can't play at those times every week, please recommend another day and time!

However, if you were willing to stream parts of the ranbat, that would be great! We could use one or a few streamers, it would be great to get the majority of matches streamed.

So with the english release right around the corner, it seems interest in UNIEL has once again blossomed. As such, I thought we should try to have a weekly ranbat for all europeans, for hype and glory and prizes. We would need to settle on a weekday and time. My first proposal would be saturdays or sundays, starting at around 1500 - 1600. Every week there would be possibly be a small prize to the winner, and then a larger prize at the end of the season. No big money, just a little something to spice things up. Regarding connection and so on, I would say that two bars and up to the person you're playing is acceptable. I understand that some would only like to play with people with three or four bars, but we want as many people as possible in this! So how many would be interested in this?

214D~B with a character that has a 214X-special? Some quick testing shows that you can not cancel the startup of shield into specials or supers, but you can kara it into a throw (2 frames window) and IW takes priority over it (412364D gives IW instead of shield).
