For the record, I was playing Tager the entire time. I have 0 desire to fight Mu with Hazama. And my loathing for mu goes far beyond actual game mechanics. Her unbelievably terrible character design is enough to make me hate her and not want to fight her. Hazama is just a guy with a suit and knives. Honestly, he probably has the most unextraordinary character design in the entire game. It's just so depressing that she had a good enough character design that they decided to scrap and just copy paste Lambda's sprites, something I had faith the developers would never do.

ggs everyone. 4 bar conn with lag spikes is such a cock tease. And I meant pointlessly refusing to end matches and doing shit like A spamming me to death when you could've just killed me. That crap doesn't fly with me. You did it to Puppeteer's Carl a few times as well. I will never not be salty about mu, I'm sorry. She's a character that spams D then they all auto-aim themselves. Not to mention projectile range melees that score you braindead-easy FCs. There's not much else for me to say. I don't really have a problem with you, it's the character you play. It's just icing on the cake that she has a joke for a character design. So obvious a developer just got horny one night turning Lambda's suit palette skin-colored. When I'm about to win with Terra break and the game freezes, making it impossible for me to input it properly, I tend to stop giving a fuck at that point. If I had tried to win afterwards I would've just lost anyway. I'd rather just die and not care about it, then get back into a new match and try to win again. tl;dr it's my opinion that mu-12 is a laughably stupid character that shouldn't exist, I don't expect anyone to care about that opinion, but I don't want them to expect me to change it either.

....are you quoting from the FUTURE?!?

You better be prepared for the silliest, non-serious crap you've ever seen in a FG.

Honestly I thought Izayoi really is pretty bad. She has nothing I've seen that was like "oh wow that's a difficult thing to block/escape/counter!"

This Ragna vs. Carl match is hella pro.

They tech the wrong direction after AC. It's not like I use a billion of them. They don't tech instantly in CSX on SMP. I believe in CP they will though. If I think the stun proration is getting too dangerous I just GF. There's no such thing as a guaranteed reset. No matter you try, there's always something that can work against it. If there wasn't, the game would be shit. Even GF can be undone by a large variety of things. So matter what kind of reset or trap you try to use, it's easy to just poke holes it by saying someone can get out of it. Tiers are based on what characters can do. Winning or Losing is based on what players actually do.

I agree with practically this entire post. I generally prefer to force my enemy to tech in the air. If they go limp I even do SMP AC's until they recover in the air. The best part about doing that is they'll tech facing the wrong direction so they can't quickly punish me or anything. It nets me a lot of Heat while I'm at it.

Are you on PSN or something mAc? Is my whole life a lie?

Except I didn't. Even a Neutral Tech is shorter than GF, and you can do stuff during the Neutral Tech's invulnerability frames that can mislead your opponent, unlike GF where you're stuck doing an animation until the moment of truth. I haven't seen anything off of a teched grab, but this was rather hilarious. The failed purple tech turns the 360C into a TRM by default

Do it now! Sleep deprived Kanji vs. Sleep deprived Kanji GOGOOGOGOGOOGOGOGO That looks like a .gif for a new Special Move that Tager needs to have in CP --- Getting on now for some games.

yes, but in terms of time, GF gives so much more time for your opponent to think about their strategy. This is why I love tech traps, which offer very little time for reaction, even they are technically at the same frame-data situation as GF.

hey, it's a good interactive movie, unlike some I could mention. I don't know what's more surprising, seeing Osuna posting on the netplay thread, or seeing a <3 in his message.

off work, will be home soon and I'd like to either: 1) play some games 2) I'm willing to stream a FT set if someone wants to fight someone else. I'd like to test my new streaming capabilities. I will be farting around on P4A until someone replies to this. Feel free to send an XBL Message if you really are feeling ambitious. I will check the DL forums regularly enough. Nevermind, I'm on now. Fucking disappointing night for P4A.

Yeah, I already mentioned Noel's 3C and it seems like no one believed it. I really still hate Hakumen on GF, its not like 5A is a great choice because it can only be countered by Zanshin. Zanshin isn't exactly a difficult solution. TK Hotaru beats pretty much every other option, even passive blocking or backstepping, because Hakumen recovers so damn fast. So it's a consistent 50/50 which isn't a favorable situation to either party. I feel a lot stronger against someone like Ragna, if he goes for a DP I can block it and murder him. The one thing that really works against Hakumen in this is his non-invulnerable backstep. That's something strongly in Tager's favor. I still prefer normal Oki or tech traps. (haha awesome my phone capitalizes Oki)

6A's at its best at medium-ish range with magnetism. A distance you can safely get into the guard frames yet also attack fast enough to dissuade reaction lows. I would NEVER suggest using it against Hakumen, Bang, or any other character with really long range lows, or low-hitting 2As. The worst character to attempt it on is probably Hazama because his CH 3C is his most desirable meterless starter Off of GF there's not much point to it, you've got all the options you need with 5A, 5B, AC, or 360. Against Hakumen GF I would never recommend 5A, as it gets caught by ALL of his Zanshins. You should at least force him to guess by using 5B or 6B if you think he's going to try to Zanshin, but don't want to risk a 360 whiff Honestly I prefer not to GF Hakumen at all, he's not exactly hard to get back in range when you need to. He's just too strong in GF situation for me. Similar to how I'd never GF another Tager.

is it actually possible to 6A > Hotaru hits Tager (guarded by 6A) > Release 6A and hit Hakumen before he reaches the ground and blocks? Obviously I'm talking about tk.Hotaru

6A easily beats Hotaru, but Hakumen can jump again is the problem. (Yes you have to hold it for a but before the guard property becomes active) And if I go for 6A I'm 3C bait (except for LOLNOEL)

Hey look, Hotaru beats every single one of those options! (not so sure about the 5A, but it sure feels like it, I really hate using GF on Haku-men)

lol try it with 6A hold at close range. Tager on backwards rollerblades!

Doesn't he do that all the time anyway?

I mean I understand the need for easy combos. There's no point doing anything difficult if you can kill them with something easy (quite the opposite, because you're allowing their Burst gauge to charge while you do your long/pointless combo). But at the very least you should be able to do FC 2C > 5B > 2B or you shouldn't be playing Kanji D: I'm just a huge optimal combo nut, I can't get enough of wasting hours and hours to find a vague, finicky combo that does 3 more damage.

I'd like to take you on sometime Axis, cheesetastic Kanji mirrors GO

A lot of the FC 2C combos are a big waste of SP. Compared to just doing this (the last combo listed is fine): 2C FC [25 SP] (same thing for 25 SP 5C FC as well) FC 2C > 236A+B > 5B > 2B > 5C >236B > 2A > 5B > 2B > 5C > 5B > 2B > 236C >236A/B [DM: 5847] I'm getting the hang of it in Training, but I definitely would stick to easier stuff in Netplay.

I recognize those, they were on my list of "things to get now that I have PS3 and can play PS2 stuff" that I made a long time ago PEGGLE IS BEST GAME EVAR
