Does that work for the air versions as well? I'm sure not for 214B but what are their punish options when they block 214A done from the air?

Thank you! And this is the foundation for his more advanced air combos right? I've seen some Yu players online that did mixed in with a C attack and 214A/B etc.

Just the very basic one, the Challenge Number 18 I keep landing after the first B

When someone "techs" they are doing a quick wakeup/roll right? I hear the phrase but keep thinking it means when they tech throws. Or is teching a whole different thing? And how can I get better at his air combos? I keep practicing Trial Number 18 but can never seem to get it. What am I doing wrong?

and does that allow for a quick follow up to break a card? Either way thank you for the tip!

any ideas on how to catch and break Thanantos? I hate his traps and his weird burst move

Does she have unblockable setups? I feel when they close from the air and immediately go for the auto combos the Skull Cracker gets me the most, the first overhead isn't too bad but the second hit being low always gets me, any tips?

Any advice? I try to break the persona when I can, and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't spam A. The trouble I have is the guillotine axe, it so annoying to deal and does it cross? I'm not sure whether or not it does. My advice is to make sure to pay attention to the 2 characters you are fighting, S. Labrys and her persona. Constantly be on the lookout for the persona attacking when she is charging a move. Some setups are when she does her Axe slash, she charges, and when you prepare to dash it the persona grabs and pulls you into the ground. Use 236C from range to see if you can break a card. The two fisted smash attack the persona does hits low so jump back and break it. Avoid the corner at all costs unless you are the one controlling the fight. When she does her low sweep/dash/thing Swift Strike should beat it. I'll try to update this when I can. Please if you disagree with something and instead have a better solution to beat her by all mean post!

How do you fight against his Tentarafoo move? I can't tell how to block and mostly attack them when Yosuke guesses the range wrong.

on wakeup what do you guys do to react to his B+D, block then go a for a counterhit? Is it possible to roll through his Furious Action? I can't respond with my own Furious as Kanji's still catches me when I am in the air.

Does Swift Strike still beat traps? How long do they last?

Alright I will post on the forum when I can.

Enough is enough, I hate playing like a scrub, I want to get better. The only problem is I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I just play online and practice execution and timing with moves. The few wins I have come from downloading people and trying to cash in on their mistakes/weaknesses. Most of the time I don't know how to approach and rely on air 214A/B to close space or 214C/D. When I get in I rely on the auto combo to bait bursts, but outside of the auto combo I find myself lacking in what his BnBs are. What is a general Yu gameplan? What guidelines should I follow in order to learn about his fantastic Oki that I keep hearing about? I watch the video on Oki setup and continually try to practice them but other than that what am I missing? I am currently reading up on the forums and trying to learn what I can, but I feel I am lacking fundamentals necessary to play the game well. What should I know and practice? Any help no matter how small would be much appreciated!

I am a very impatient person, how did you guys become patient playing Hakumen. I feel it is a necessary skill to have, and what I would like to know is how did you guys develop it? mAc Chaos do you find yourself forcing yourself to be patient even when you RTSD?

When facing an elizabeth player who mashes Maziodyne full screen, does the slide still work? Is it about timing to get it right?

how would you guys approach a naoto player who runs aways constantly? Do you opt for sweep to close the distance or patiently edge your way in? Any strategies much obliged!

That doesn't have invincibility right? The Myriad Truths, for some reason I swear it does.

So newbie question(s): Anyway to combo to his 2C in the corner, outside of counter hit combos? I love the move because I follow up with 214B and I feel that it does nice damage. I'm not sure how much of the cast it works on. And any general strategies to keep Izanagi from being attacked after his attacks? I find Izanagi staying too long on the field after you summon him for an attack for my liking. I try to cover him, but there often times when the opponent can attack him.

Just a warning, you guys are opening a pandoras box. I have literally zero depth when it comes to knowledge and play Hakumen because of how I pick all my character in any fighting game. He looks badass, and I like samurai. I am very new to the actual fighting game scene with my experience consisting of watching streams and rushing into online to learn how to play. Evident by my forum posts on the matchup threads. I really do want BlazBlue to be my first actual fighting game I sink my hours into . My thirst for knowledge and desire to be better are outmatched only my lack of knowledge and "srub" tactics when it comes to play. If you guys are okay with all this then I would like to message. I just don't feel that I want to bombard someone with questions that they have to spend time on answering. Just let me know what I should do, and I'm good to go!

Sorry but as I learn I will probably be coming back here posting a lot, but what does wtv mean?

Is rushing her down and putting continuous pressure, so she cannot charge still the strategy here? Or are there more preferred strategies you guys like?

I'm sorry I meant hitting Rachels 236A with your sword, I believe that is the staff projectile.

any tips on when you are all statically charged?

I don't feel that his projectiles are that bothersome, my ire lies mainly with the poison one. That aside, how do you guys recommend to play this matchup? With Bang being so fast, it seems hard to catch him unless you are able to read the player well. Do you guys favor a reactive play or forcing the Bang to react to you?

so am I correct that even if you hit 236A from Rachel with your sword, the staff will still come out? If so will the barrier block other projectiles still? I know even a half decent Rachel won't have trouble with the barrier, but still curious.
