Might be an OD thing if all drive moves get different properties in that state. Maybe even wallbounce on regular hit in OD?

She's got a collar and chain, too. Dunno where the other end is attached to, though. :/

Yeah, probably only the section with the blast is where the move is able to hit. It might be able to hit on certain occasions, so I'm not ready to write it off completely. In any case, it looks like j.C covers a good amount of space this time around, so it may not even matter much if j.2C isn't as usable outside of combos.

Sex. All I can say. I'm gonna need to check out all these vids when I'm not dead tired.

I noticed that too. Her leg goes up for about half a second before she crouches low. Tricky stuff against people who block during drive strings.

Yeah, I've seen mid-drive Chamber Shots, so I'm assuming that her drives will cancel into any of her specials now, just like pre-Extend. I haven't seen anyone use d.6C > 214A now probably because mid-screen you can do d.5B > d.6C due to the wallbounce properties of d.5B. They might have to play around with the spacing or the timing, but I am worried about no 22B/22C after 214A. It was a staple combo of hers, but now it'd give us new ways of using the other drives in combos. Somehow, she'll always find a way to use everything in one go. And against Hakumen, you have to outsmart them, so playing around with Chamber Shot is gonna be pretty useful now that it seems to be a possibly blockstring ender (albeit I don't know how safe it will be).

Thinking about it that way, both their strings are very similar to each other now. In Noel's case, you can always go 5A > 2B > 6A if you want the launch combo. The way I see it, she's going to be pretty versatile in her combo strings and enders compared to previous versions.

Noel's new Counter Assault can be low profiled. -__- Just watched the Noel/Jin match where he 3C'ed under it. We really have to pick our spots when using it. Another thing I saw was that OB no longer knocks down on standing. Don't know if that's the same on counter hit though. Also, I wish people would drive a bit more right now just to see the properties.

Too busy failing Thor. :/ Hoping she can, but for now assuming she can't.

I wanna go there to test Noel stuffs... Anyway, Noel can do stuff after j.2C's recoil/recovery. That's giving me ideas now. And it looks like even in OD, j.D doesn't seem to get much change except for probably increased invuln. The speed of it still looks the same. And Chamber Shot looks like a nice alternative to Bloom Trigger during a blocked drive.

That made me sad. Couldn't even Haida. ~__~ Also, I wanted to see other colors.

Yeah, he gets it in OD.

Ranbats at Malibu castle sound good.

You should be pretty close to SA Jin, then. I'm lived quite a bit away from there.

Yo, I feel like I should post one of these sometime just so I know where I'm at come CP time.

Guess it'll be easier and less painful to call them crushes, instead.

It's during certain moves that you A+B to get the Crush Trigger. That's some pretty bad execution if one comes out when you mean to barrier... :/ And yeah, we'll have to wait until the final version to see which moves wind up with the CT property, as well as how it specifically changes the hitbox/frames/etc. Also, I'm fine with either form of teching. Instant tech -> Barrier shouldn't be a problem anymore, so nobody should get hit by AUBs now.

GGs to everyone in my room. Dunno how I'm still playing after getting beatdown so much lol. I guess two wrong guesses really is all it takes... :/

Yeah, there really isn't a set formula for winning like other characters. She has to take each character and each player as a totally new matchup it seems. Also, I 2AB the hell out of any Mitsurus I play against. That's about the only normal I love about Naoto haha.

GGs mynus and all in that room. To this day, I still haven't SMP anyone... :<

Funny how many OS's are being thrown around in this one specific room today rofl...

GGs. I'm still ass at this game.

Glirandly and I are weighing out our options to see if we can make it to this.

Don't worry. Planning to stick a Chie ball right next to that Naoto ball for the next one. >:3
