Welp made a typo error, thanks kitten. Just out of curiosity, what some mysteries that the story has yet to reveal? (Which I'm sure is a lot)

I've been wondering about this since the moment Hakumen's? (Or Hazama's?) CS Arcade Mode revealed that Terumi owned Ookami which was 2-3 years ago. Also, before all the time loops, was the very first Black Beast still a fusion of Ragna and Nu in some other form?

Well here's another "Nope" situation. Pretty interesting character. Obviously appeals to the Hokuto no Ken fan in me.

Ok my mistake then lol, moving on.

Fixed.

Another ghetto Oki trick with d.5B as an ender this time. Your thoughts?

What do you Chie players think about this matchup? As a Naoto player, this matchup is really really annoying for us as she has a lot of options to mix us up when she manages to get in on Naoto (which is pretty easy for her) and Naoto can't afford any bad guesses due to having the second lowest health. That being said, it forces us to respect a lot of your shit. Is there anything that Naoto has that forces you to respect her because I'm pretty much drawing a blank for this matchup. It's like everytime I get caught blocking Chie, I feel like I should give up haha.

But I'm scared to IB, it usually ends with me not blocking.

Well if a poke is good then respect for it naturally follows. As for d.5C, it's not exactly the same as before as it hits twice now, but that shouldn't make much a difference right when it comes to ghetto oki right? And I'd like to see CP footage of d.5B > AT whiffing.

Winter break is coming. Is there going to be another gathering by Sanoshi anytime soon? I've been meaning to play you guys from Riverside for some time now.

Looks like it's back to ending combos at d.5C for ghetto Oki if we want to keep the opponent in our face...... assuming d.5C wasn't changed for the worst. Also I'm curious if we can go straight into j.D after 6A > stuff if we wanted to.

Oh crap, got too caught up with school and CP hype that I forgot to post here. Yeah, last Friday night was hype. Can't believe I had to fit up to 6 people in my tiny Civic which was funny and eating at Tajimas right afterward was chill too. Oh and shoutouts to me sitting in my little P4A corner while everybody was playing/watching CSEX matches and also streaming CP at the same time.

So no more SMPs then?

Judging from the videos, either 2A looks like a more solid poke this time around, or the opponents are respecting Noel just a bit too much. Obviously I hope for its the former.

So are you guys still thinking about this? I too wouldn't mind donating some money for a bigger av, and obviously this site doesn't need sigs. I'd like them, but I would prefer that Dustloop stay a "clean" site without them. /necro

4D FC Corner Combo Only about 3.4k, but nice use of CS to extend the combo.

Could the Noel player dealt more damage if he/she decided not to RC after 3C?

I've used it a few times after "tricking" my opponents that I autopilot 6B in blockstrings and it's pretty neat. Tokido even had Lord Knight fall for it in EVO 2011. Obviously it's risky but it has a decent reward for being lucky and as we can see, the reward is even greater in CP. Also those 6B combos that use RC are pretty nifty too. Can't wait to see more, especially more damaging corner combos if she does have one.

Just watched the new Noel vs Azrael vids and all I can say is that people REALLY need to start looking out for grabs, or else it's 3.5 since we can do Grab > MF again.

I really hope players discover some nice corner combos in the upcoming days because it seems like her corner damage seems a bit lacking from the videos I've seen, at least her midscreen combos are decent. And I personally never found a reason to 66 > 5B after a 3C, I was always able to know instinctively the exact number of 22Bs I needed to maximize damage and also to keep my opponent in range for a 66 > 6C.

http://youtu.be/6vtOYjtq2ck?t=33s 4D > d.2D > d.5C > d.5B > 236A > 66 > 5B > 5C > j.C > j.D > d.6B > d.5C > CS Better start grinding those now.

Would've been nice if we can SR anytime we want to. Noel actually having a reversal outside of Fenrir or her Astral would be great.

I believe a sample of them goes... 2B > 5B > 6A > sj.C > j.D > d.6B > d.6C > d.2D > d.6B > 22C > 66 > 6C > 6B > 4D > d.2D > d.6B > d.5C > d.6B > BT 34 hits; 2951 damage Got ninja'd. Anyway if you sub BT for Fenrir, it becomes 3833 damage. There's also CH 2D > d.6B > d.5C > d.6B > d.5C > Fenrir for 2931, nothing too fancy. Whole lotta d.6Bs though.

http://www.twitch.tv/adastream/b/342118337 @ 20:30 Looks fun to mess around with.

I think I'll stop being pessimistic about Noel's changes right now, especially since the game just came out and there's barely any Noel matches of the handful of CP videos uploaded. It was kind of foolish of me in the first place anyway. I just hope she has more potential going on for her especially with j.2C.
