VR-Raiden

Dunno where you're getting that idea.

I know for a fact this is true for Yu. First hit is AUB, second is not. I had links to videos which confirmed this, but lost them when everything got deleted.

Or crouch hit 5C?

I believe 2C only combos off a crouching hit (and probly counter hit on something) so that's why you don't see it used every time. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Only thing he wasn't doing all the time was knockdown combos in the corner, which I feel like might be a better idea when you can.

Sounds good. have yet to play it myself still Well here are Yu/Izanagi color palettes: http://i.imgur.com/thVBw.png http://i.imgur.com/AUjOl.png I'll probly play color 8 for Yu (when I'm not playing Ragna colors anyways). dunno about Izanagi I like quite a few of em.

Since the patch he can cancel j.2A into j.D, but it's hard to know how useful that is without playing ourselves. So, 5D and 2D are the same move? I guess you could also just say he doesn't have a 2D?

I wanna playyy, wish it wasn't so far for me T_T

Ya 5B/5C(blocked)>2C whiff is bad, leaves you at pretty significant disadvantage. If they're paying attention and know that, don't do it. If they let you get away with it all day, go for it.

I was looking over the Yu wiki, noticed an error. It has 5C listed twice under his persona attacks. The 2nd time I believe it's supposed to be 2D, the stab attack.

I'll play BB. PSN is VR-Raiden, don't have XBL anymore. I might be down, when/where?

He loses pretty badly, but does some nifty mix ups at around 5:13 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcScchzpvmk

The Almighty a selectable track? yessssssssss

This looks like "the oki" we've been talking about, except the end is slightly different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrgwrfsyizQ&t=3m39s He's doing j.B > 5DD > j.2A for the ender. But I like the sound of what you said better Mash, where you do the 5DD as they tech, cuz then you'd be able to safely bait reversals. I guess here you could do that stab with Izanagi after the tech? (don't know the command) I wonder if you have to do the 5DD between the j.B and j.2A for it to combo? Or if he could've just done j.2A on it's own? Need training mode

I wanna go to Summer Jam but dunno for sure yet if I can. Need more GG! Should have a better idea soon hopefully. I need to get a new 360 stick myself, mine's crapped out

Ah ok. So does j.2A force tech? And does it give time to start 5D oki again? If not I guess you can cancel to j.D for oki from there, though I dunno how strong that is.

It's something like knockdown > (they tech and block) 5D > j.B > start mix up knockdown > (the don't tech and get hit) 5D > j.B > 5DD > 2A+B knockdown > 5D > repeat I think it works for 2 reps at least? And after that you use j.2A or something. The guy in the 15 on 15 matches does some of it.

GGs guys hopefully I can come again soon.

If you had to compare him to some character in marvel I guess it'd be Vergil, but the games are so completely different it's hardly worth the comparison. He seems all around solid, no significant weaknesses. Good normals and pretty damn good looking oki/mix-up capabilities with 5D.

See you all at Xanadu.

This vid has some interesting combos with Cross Slash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnmj4RvjY0&t=1m49s

welp sounds like the old stuff was all deleted accidentally Guess we'll just have to start finding useful stuff that was lost.

Yeah please put up the old videos, I was planning to use a couple of them for reference once it comes out. or why not everything and put it in the archive section. I do appreciate the thread titles not having long character quotes before the actual purpose of the topic.

You can cross under from 2D if you're close enough, and GH(1) too.

Most likely you're doing the 2A too early. It's hard to time but you have to do the 2A late enough so you get your momentum going. 2B might be easier but you should try to use 2A if you can since 2B recovery leaves you at disadvantage.
