Prepare to be buried beneath a wave of flame and scorn.

If you want serious AA discussion then here it is: Your best AA tools for Haz are 5C, 2C, and 5A. 5A and 5C are both significantly more useful at closer ranges when your opponent is pressuring you, for instance when they try to IAD you. 5A is especially useful against Bang when he tries to cross you up. During startup, both 5C and 2C have very comparable hitboxes (Hazama does actually duck pretty low during 5Cs startup, low enough to dodge a lot of 5As). 2C has head invulnerability from frame 8, but no actives til frame 13. The head invulnerability ends at frame 12 which is really annoying because it means you can trade with this move. In order to not trade, you have to completely negate an enemy attack's active frames with the invulnerability frames. 5C has no invulnerability, but has a more forward-reaching hitbox and only has an 10 frame startup. What's even better about 5C is that it has 2 hits so it has a longer set of active frames. The trade-off about using 5C is that it has 2 more frames of vulnerability than 2C does. Never try to use 5B against aerial opponents. Even though it might feel like it, it doesn't hit aerial people very well at all. If you've got the meter, you should always follow up air hits with Jakou > microdash Houtenjin as soon as possible, preferably immediately after confirming. This setup is one of Hazama's most powerful combo starters. -------- Also, I don't think there's a single "good" Ragna out there who would just throw Belial Edge out against an opponent during neutral. Also also,

Possible Game Bug (could be working as intended though): Haku-men countering a Hyper Armor Tager 6A gets his Yukikaze damage cut in half. I have a replay with me fighting Osuna confirming this. I know that Tager's hyper armor cuts damage in half but to me it seems odd that it would affect an unblockable counterattack like Yukikaze because he's getting hit by Yukikaze, not blocking it with hyper armor. Regardless, it still chops your Yukikaze damage in half. In the replay I do Yukikaze > Kishuu > 2C for 1989 damage. I wouldn't be surprised if this is still a thing in CP.

I was just about to finish watching that match... Shoutouts to OWNER for making a room with 5 slots and kicking anyone who joins past 2 players.

Standing 720 O.o Pity it doesn't work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnNj3JfHjLg#t=10m20s Same vid crouching 720 holy shit. I love it when a commentator makes sounds like this lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnNj3JfHjLg#t=19m20s

I found these 2 vids from the Valk video thread pretty informative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBX_JBAhLp4#t=3m52 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnNj3JfHjLg#t=9m08 Sure they're CP but the tactics used are pretty relevant to CSE as well. Basically during neutral your most valuable moves are 5A, jA and jB. Immediately after whiffing jB always use a 5A on landing to stop Valk rushing in. You can put up a pretty effective screen doing this. NEVER hold AC, just tap it. If it works woohoo, if it doesn't just move on to 5As and jBs again. Valkenhayn has too many aerial options to let himself get hit by a held AC.

That's one hell of a trophy, where was this taken/what was it taken for?

Bang's 3C head invincibility is too powerful to be contained in his own thread.

it's a good AA

What about Doritos?

Only if you're not playing with anyone from Texas.

Want to play a set tonight mAc? After I do laundry/do some FFXI stuff I'll be available.

IT ALL LEADS etc.

That's nice of you, see the problem I'm havi- :|

CP Bang:

Snape kills Ragna.

We should fight sometime Shin, I remember our conn being fairly solid. I need YUMUXP

What is j22A exactly? Is it an actual attack or is it just some kind of "utility" special if you know what I mean.

Is Texas net really a thing? Like does anyone have any proof that Texas literally has some kind of network problem with it's infrastructure or something?

Sorry, I meant j5A. I ashamed at having provided such falsified information. 3c works great against Belial Edge as well. It's all in the timing. If you can't get it to work that just MEANS YOU'RE BAD.

Is it gatling capable into itself or is that a jc/AD?

you can use it on reaction to Ragna's 5A

I think it's explanation enough at how bad this MU is that I'm clutching at these feeble rays of hope like this.

I thought our conn was way better than last time, personally. Minus that one random spike but that went away quickly enough. two IKs in one sitting what.
