The amount of obvious D mashing is starting to get tedious. I really can't feel okay with myself playing Haku-men anymore because of it.

Counter Assaults never work online.

Be honest with me, have you ever seen another Tager reliably do that to your 6A lol

I feel like shit, that probably has something to do with it. You realize I haven't done a single j.2C successfully yet?

holy fuck my hands can't do anything yet lol. I got sloth reflexes.

I dun mind a small room, if anyone even joins lol. My favorite room size is 3, honestly. it's for experts though so I'll kick noobs.

Room up soon. Start running mac.

weird, I clearly remember you telling me you were on wireless once for some reason. I don't understand how it's possible for us to have a 2 bar when we live like in the same city. What ISP do you use now? I know we used to have 4 bar Conn. (dat capital C)

It doesn't capitalize minn :O Lol it capitalizes Orcs

usually cause your room gets full lol, your wireless Conn can get really frustrating though. Kind of mind boggling that I have a better Conn with mAc than you. Don't ask me why my phone capitalizes Conn.

I do it like this: with magnetism: confirm -> 3C -> AC -> AC whiff -> 6c -> j.2C -> 5B -> 5C -> 5D -> delay (important) -> 22D vary hold depending on situation.

A sledge counters this though, as you'd just ignore the bugs and force Arakune to block again. 6A does this beautifully as well. Insects really aren't as much as a threat to Tager as Arakune's god damn j.B aggravation. Usually if I get stuck in Arakune's j.B I'll IB as many hits as possible and build meter for a CA.

yeah if you actually hit him but I believe I said As in, he's blocking this so I'm just gonna spam as much pressure as possible for the sake of turtling his Curse gauge down.

See I end most of my stuff with GF vacuum instead of GF itself (obviously not all the time). It's lot more uncomfortable to the opponent than gadget finger because their character movement is completely messed up. Ask mAc he knows what I mean. To me GF is just too much of a "OKAY HERE WE GO I'M ABOUT TO DO A MIX-UP ON YOU, ARE YOU READY?!" regardless of it's frame advantage. The enemy has far too much time to think about what they're going to do. I go for tech traps and resets way more on Tager than GF itself. I use GF all the time for vacuum though. What I'm saying is I use 6A on oki I suppose. Not on GF, because GF doesn't have enough +, I just mean when someone is neutral teching. When I'm feeling less ambitious I just go for a 5A confirm first like anyone else, so 5A > 5B > 5C > 6A -> mix-up. I'm saying it's especially powerful against Noel because she doesn't have any moves that won't get blocked by 6A, except her 2B which won't likely be in range. I don't have time to tinker with it or anything because I gotta go to work. I'll try to find the drivers for my stupid card and get it functional tonight though.

Maybe it's 'cause I just have the experience to deal with Arakune from my Hazama or something, I don't feel handicapped on Tager all. I'm not saying the matchup is an autowin or anything, I'm just saying all the same rules apply to Tager that apply to anyone else who fights Arakune. Yeah, you have a hard time when you get cursed, who doesn't? When you're cursed it's all about wasting the Curse Gauge as much as possible. If I land a guarded hit on Arakune while Curse is full I make sure to do a stupidly long mid-string followed by Sledge -> Follow Up -> Rapid Cancel -> do it all over again for the sake of wasting time. Probably the most powerful advice you can ever have against Arakune is to go limp if he gets a curse combo going from a bad starter, which usually happens right when he fills his Curse Gauge off of a combo. That means even when it starts blue beating just sit there and eat it. It will do shit for damage until he decides to finally try and reset it, which is your chance to get back to blocking.

Yeah but which one is which? Basically a video is worth a million words. Unfortunately my card is still debunk. I'm done trying to explain. It's definitely not an extremely specific situation because I do it all the time.

Can you tk.360C? Or does it have a minimum height. It would be kind of cool to do 360C right before landing for vacuum then something on landing. I doubt it's possible though going by all the vids.

She's an anime girl, she'd love him even more. "Treat 'em like dirt and they'll stick to ya like mud."

So basically what you're saying is: *Tsubaki gets stabbed to death* Jin: "Noooo!!!!" Jin: "...." Jin: " " *runs right past Tsubaki* Tsubaki: *blarg*

Ugh, I really don't like those illustrations. I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't told me.

By far, the easiest matchup for me on Tager. I see a kune and go "haha, my little bitch." I have no clue what there is to complain about against Arakune. I have a much harder time fighting Arakune on Hazama or Haku-men. It's not like I can beat him braindead, but I don't have to worry about anything specific when fighting Arakune on Tager, like people seem to suggest. I just have to worry about all the things I'd have to worry about if I was fighting Arakune on any other character. I mean, yeah, back in CT Arakune was a bitch on Tager but times have changed. (you can tell that comment on the thread title was written during CT because it says v-13 lol)

She looks close enough to Noel due to the uniform. Pfft, what are you saying, mAc-niisan.

Does midair 360A retain the invulnerability of the OTG version? If so I would love to see if Tager can evade Thor's missile and vacuum Noel before she reaches the ground >_>

Pretty sure she can, but unsure about a Meaty 6A. Just tested it, it blocks her 3C and does hit her during her recovery. LOL Noel There's no such thing as one flawless strategy that can't be undone. For instance Noel can tk a 4D and get past a lot of Tager's stuff, but if you just go passive on Tager you can snag her with a 360A when she lands. I mainly use 6A on wake-up when I know I've got them scared. Otherwise I confirm with something first, even if it's just a 5A->5B. Random note: Mashing 360 during Noel's D spam is a pretty bad idea because she usually ends it with Spring Raid or Assault Through, both of which are pretty good against 360. (For Assault Through, if Noel is close enough Tager usually uses the 360 in the wrong direction) Not that mashing 360 is usually ever a good idea, it's just an especially bad idea against Noel. I don't see why I would be using 6A within Noel's grip range. I'd only ever use it with magnetism period. If you're talking about her command throw I would just let go of 6A (I don't find reacting with 6A to be difficult). I've never been grabbed out of 6A, if I feel like I'm about to get grabbed I just let it go. You have to have balls of steel to run into Tager's 6A and attempt to throw him. That's like sprinting into Haku-men's 6C lol. Random Note Of Interest Holy sweet mother of god Noel's backstep is fucking fast as hell, I can see this being a problem in some situations when trying to vacuum. She'll get Negative Penalty in record time though :P

Noel getting stabbed by like 5 swords at once! It's like a dream come true!
