Even if that was the case, I don't think that's why he shines in the match-up. Backdash, Growler (and Phalanx), 5B, and 5C all seem to help Azrael a lot. Sure, if he gets knocked down in the corner, he'll have to deal with retarded Rachel oki for days. Her zoning just isn't as strong against Azrael as opposed to Hazama or Nu or Mu. Again, she can play even more lame (i.e., run away) if she has wind, but it's easy to exhaust that resource. Plus, she's sacrificing the wind she could be using for pressure, combos, or zoning with pumpkin or wind + cannon. If anything, I'd say George is probably the most trouble for Azrael. His slow movement just can't get around it very easily, forcing him to either deal with it or absorb with Growler, both of which are unfavorable options. Now, George does give you full charges of Phalanx for free, but it also locks you in place, which is what Rachel wants, and the recovery after absorbing is punishable. Otherwise, outside of a couple of pesky zoning tools, Azrael can really dominate neutral. 5B range is optimal, but 5C and low IAD j.C or j.B is acceptable too, depending on position. My two cents~

I know about Azrael's bad match-ups. Hazama, Litchi, Tager, Hakumen, and Valkenhayn (imo). Good Match-ups that I've seen are Noel, Makoto, Ragna, Tsubaki, Rachel, and Tao (again, imo. It's the only top tier character that he can somewhat compete against.) Otherwise it's just how he either abuses neutral or conditions in terms of mix-ups or both. If he can't do one or the other, then it's probably bad. Characters that have good zoning tools (Hazama, Nu, or movement in the case of Valk) or counter-active space control (Tager, Hakumen, Litchi). The main reason I think Tao is not as bad of a match-up as Valk is because of Azrael 6C. It stuffs a lot of Tao's mobility, and beats anything without head invuln. 5B and 2C also help. For some reason, Valk can just deal with this better than Tao, or avoid and get in easier. Though, I do think it's crucial to not let Tao get a good knockdown in, as it's hard to get out of her pressure. It might not be a good match-up entirely, but it's notable since it's one of the few top-tier cases where he doesn't have a clearly unfavorable match-up.

Terumi better have good alt colors... and a good theme song.

But Tsubaki has been shit for like 3/4 of the games she's been in..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just pre-ordered BBCP~ <3 I hope Mori means he "appeals to female players more" (probably from all the SEXY gushing from his chest) I wasn't expecting him to be able to use ouroboros at all so that's a pleasant surprise. I just hope he's RTSD and still has a command grab *fingers crossed*

I like you. You have good taste. MORE GUYMAM STORY TIME PLEASE

I wish good artists would draw BB doujins. Tiamat novelty wore off fast. Mugenkidou or Wireframe pls ;_;

Noel is asking why Makoto knows people from Sector Seven.

Must I remind you of the dark times when BB general existed?

That's funny, cos I was just thinking that the kick with his hand in his pocket looks like F-Ciel 3B. I was just thinking that someone in BB needed Chokkagata Dandy

I have just had the horrifying realization that Terumi is going to have an English voice. It really is Endless Despair

It's literally the exact same text as the last one, just now with more screens. It's mostly just a description of what/who Terumi is. Here I go: Yuuki Terumi VA: Nakamura Yuuichi "Now then, tell me where I can eat as much as I want! Specifically, a way where I can beat the life out of everything!" Suddenly, the mysterious alter-ego of Hazama appears before Ragna and company. This "true form" is a one of the legendary six heroes from the dark war. Even if the likes of Rachel reveal their connection (familiarity) to this form (<--- this was the only part I had a hard time translating), either way it is an extremely dangerous existence. He might look like he's hasty or abrupt, but the truth is he's quite cunning. He enjoys wreaking havoc, and keeps a calm persona amidst the brutality he causes; until now, we've only seen the tip of this figure's ferocious nature from the facade of Hazama. The rest is just saying that Terumi is a character you get for pre-ordering the game. As for how you acquire Kagura, they say "tune in next time"

BASED SCAMCO

I can't believe it took me this long to remember this: Azrael is Gargamel's cat from the Smurfs.....

Shoutouts to towing signs making it impossible to find a parking space. Shoutouts to JonZ for not showing up so he could meet Gli even though he had practically all day and night to do it. Shoutouts to Kid Viper for being super hype and crazy in person. Even though I got blown out of the water when we fought in BB it was still fun. Shoutouts to fubar for putting the GG cabinet back in. Now if only we could get Gals Panic S2 back..... Shoutouts to server crashes. Shoutouts to Seiryu for doing BB commentary with me and my quiet, nerdy voice. Shoutouts to my woofu motherfucking WOOFx7 for showing that Yosuke is a viable character. Shoutouts to Tall Chris for appreciating my quips on dustloop. Shoutouts to Mightfo for being the chillest, most level-headed guy I know. Also for telling me about the Dallas ranbats that are starting in May. Shoutouts to people from around the state coming into Austin just for this tournament. Shoutouts to being tired and hungry. Shoutouts to SA Jin and Woki for being my ride up to UFO. Would have been a lot harder to get the baked goods up to UFO otherwise. Shoutouts to everyone for eating the treats that I make. That's what I like to see! Shoutouts to Scottie for putting together the tournament and seeing it through to the finish despite the unexpected delays.

For good reason. That mix-up is unreactable. You'd have to know they're going to spend their meter that way to even hope to see it coming. Even then, it's a 7 frame gap you have to switch from blocking low to blocking overhead. I wouldn't doubt that 3C > RC > j.B might be possible, given good enough execution and really close proximity.

This is what yomi looks like.

Chains have always been strike + projectile, same way with Jabaki.

inb4 he has 9 stocks of meter like AH2 woop woop. Terumi (Hazama)? With meter gain? Unheard of, I say. *Looks at all three iterations of CS with a shit-faced grin*

Okay, so how long until a console version PV or two? My guess is at Arc Revo. Pre-orders should start around that time as well.

I like Terumi's CP art, fuck the haters, he looks gay and that is a good thing. BB is missing the mad flamboyance that was present in GG. And I'm pre-ordering the hell out of CP as soon as I see it go up on amiami or CDJapan or something. You all should be too.

"He still has cutting actions, but his battle style differs completely" Welp, now we know that Terumi cannot possibly be as good as Hazama (unless he gets something else that makes him really broken, fuck I hope so). Also, the screenshots make me think of claw Iori's QCB+K and cr.HK respectively. Maybe a little bit of Venom 2D.

I'd be fine with playing Holy Order Ragna. Terumi better have an intro where he's in Hazama mode then just safety kaijous and goes ham.

I can't stop laughing, I'm in tears as I type this. "Hey guys, who should we add as a playable character" "Maybe we should add Kokonoe or Jubei since the fanbase across the globe has been pining for it" "HAHAHA good joke. No, we should add a character that's already in the game.... but instead it's their alternate personality!!!!!" In all seriousness, he looks mad sexy. Notice how he keeps the tie, but it's completely undone. You can actually see the effects of his gayness bursting forth from his chest. It's perfect. More perfect than any other character could have been. God it is a good day to be a fan of Hazama.

Okay, let's not kid ourselves here, this is what's actually going to happen: I'm going to bring delicious treats for all the tournament goers. I'm also going to get hella baked before the tournament and get 2-0 2-0'd out of each tournament I enter (BB, GG). I could go on and rant about why I decided to stop trying "real" Slayer combos (the ones that you pretty much have to transcribe from Hase match vids cos you'll find fuck-all on dustloop), but for the sake of this thread I won't
