Azrael vs Hakumen, I believe Hakumen to be stronger but he can only use 20% of his powers so Azrael could really give him a tough fight. It could go any way or just be a draw. Hakumen vs Izayoi, Hakumen would win but still resist fighting her as she is Tsubaki.

About the 2014 live, Ride the Fire was way grittier which sounded just perfect. Sector 7 was badass too with the live drumwork. I'm glad to see the same folks behind this performance as well but I do feel kinda disappointed that the crew didn't really improve their stage performance like Ishiwatari wanted (he said so after the 2011 concert in Bururaji), most of the time the crew focused on playing and didn't interact with the audience (except the singers). The songs themselves were excellent.

Might as well drop this one here, Dogura's streaming Xrd and he said he's retired from playing Azrael xP

Ragna was ridiculous too

He never played Kokonoe tho

The gender thing comes from the fact that English language likes to differentiate genders, which isn't as important in some other languages where genders and other things (such as plurality in JP) can be/are context sensitive. Enough of this agenda, I vote the new thread to be called "To Err is Human."

You should think twice before using it against zoners tho

Sure you guys aren't confusing attack levels & projectile levels? Phalanx is lv 2 projectile and in CP2 so are Nu's swords (Luna swords in 1.1). That's why they clash. Azrael is fine, Dogura bodies people with him. Not sure if Nu is he's new main but then again he's won Arc Revo with Azrael, might as well try something new~

Leo busts dual keyblades, Valor Form!

I hate that HF doesn't juggle anymore, now it's (again) reduced to combo ender/RC gimmicks. Those juggle combos were so shounen~ I'd have taken crazy carry with tk BS over Extend damage any day...

Yes and no, the differences vary between characters. Extend is also slower paced than CP so it takes time to get used to. For details look up the archived Extend threads in each character's sub-forum.

In 1.1 6B does wallstick (http://youtube.com/watch?v=gZbOzqEOgfc 0:32), j.C launches and 6B sticks. I made a mistake in my previous post, 6B's p2 at least in 1.1 is 82, not 92 and startup is 13f while 5C is 15f. I accidentally looked at 6A's data, sorry!

Here's some new combo ways for Az: TCL > RC > dash 22C (near corner only?)... http://youtu.be/UBE9s_b31Lg?t=1h12m13s ...except here it's 5BB TCL RC dash 22C fullscreen, only the timing seems to be kinda strict. http://youtu.be/Hjf1dDR-kWc?t=59m37s CH 5B > 5BB > 5A (??) not that you'd need it but... Burst baiting? http://youtu.be/3ABl411RA-M?t=5m25s Plus I swear I saw a match where some Azrael (Akashi maybe?) did (near corner): aerial TCL (wallstick high on the wall) > 22C WITHOUT RC, so TCL change being a good or bad thing is entirely situational. As for people doing 6B instead of 5C; it does more damage (800 vs 860) but its' p2 is lower (89 vs 82) and its' startup is 2f shorter so maybe you can actually usher in one extra 6B as opposed to 5Cs (this is unlikely but possible). However if you land a raw Chaser you need to be careful with it if you're intending to do the TCL ender, 6B can't be special canceled so. Ideal combo could be: [uW] 236D > {6 > 6B} x n > TCL > 5B > 2C (> 3C > 6A) > 6D or 3C first if hitstun allows it. + swag dual wp combo to take them out for a walk http://youtu.be/UBE9s_b31Lg?t=1h44m26s

I don't believe Dogura has switched mains, he is a 13 dan Azrael while his Hazama is 11 dan and Nu 8 dan. Through the videos with Dogura that Jourdal uploads he's been showing new stuff for Azrael in 2.0, like new dual weak point combos etc.

Here's the setlist: 1.CHRONOPHANTASMA(BBCPアーケード版OPテーマ) 2.SIX-HEROES(六英雄テーマ) 3.Does the sheep count the sheep?( GGXrdベッドマンテーマ) 4.Black&White(ラグナVSハクメンテーマ) 5.The lily of steel(GGXrdミリアテーマ) 6.Starry Story(GGXrdメイテーマ) 7.Sector7(第七機関テーマ) 8.Bang!Bang!Bigbang!-正義上等！ヒーロー登場！-(シシガミ・バング風林火山テーマ/歌唱:小山剛志) 9.烈風(シシガミ・バングテーマ/歌唱:小山剛志) 10.REVENGER(バレットテーマ/歌唱:行成とあ) 11.Blue-bloom (BBEX　CALAMITY TRIGGER RECONSTRUCTION　EDテーマ/歌唱:行成とあ) 12.Diva(GG2ボスヴァレンタインテーマ) 13.Dissonance (ヴァルケンハインvsレリウステーマ) 14.Still in the Dark( GGXザトーvsミリアテーマ) 15.in JUSTICE (ハクメンvsイザヨイテーマ) 16.Ride the Fire( GGXrdソルドラゴンインストールテーマ/歌唱:NAOKI HASHIMOTO) 17.Lily GGXrd (アーケード版EDテーマ/歌唱:NAOKI HASHIMOTO) 18.HEAVY DAY (GGXrd アーケード版　OPテーマ/歌唱:NAOKI HASHIMOTO) 19.Re-Coming( GG2ソルvsカイテーマ) 20.Under Heaven Destruction (ラグナvsジンテーマ) 21.Rebellion (ラグナテーマ) 22.Holy Orders～Magnolia Eclair (GG2カイのテーマ～GGXrdカイのテーマ） in bold: the songs I'm looking forward the most. Kinda interesting that they played Sector 7 live, can't wait to hear it. Edit: I want a Hashimoto version of Black Onslaught

Can't wait, simply can't wait.

for a week that is

This is welcome balancing for a character with such great neutral potential. Kinda like with Valk and Rachel Kokonoe players now have to really pay attention to their resources and decide how many Gravitons should they use in neutral because they're also needed in combos and vice versa.

Ragna: as long as we're done with EX levels of bs, honest A tier Ragna Infenor Dividers the competition Hazama: naturally Litchi: naturally Bang: manliest of men Carl: high skill high reward Valk: not this again Nu: certainly not THIS again

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2ROZqNsFyno 5:25 my guess was right, TCL > RC > 22C is a thing

Can people OD Raid through unblockable 5C > BHS!!? Bursting I can take but a free punish would be too salty.

I'm glad they buffed 2D, that move has too little use in general. I hope they've improved it's proration values too but that's asking a lot.

Attack levels only matter from the developer's POV, frame data has all attacks' levels listed

My biggest pet-peeve online is that whenever I'm bored I check if there are any new posts in threads I follow at Dustloop and there aren't!! Seriously tho, random lags in a 4-bar connection kill my fighting spirit.

@greatfernman: Glad that cleared up, that Jin could've bursted right at the valiant hit tho
