I've been lurking around the BB forums for a while now and I finally broke down and am in need of some help. Throughout the BB series, I've been a pretty good player when it comes to matches and the learning curve but after I got BBCP three months ago, I've been stuck with a losing curse or something. Nah, to be honest, I suck.
I know that the pacing has changed, and that's fine. I've been playing Raggy since CT and when I got CP switched to Terumi, Hazama and weirdly Platinum.
And I love playing Terumi and Hazama. Its a breath of fresh air after playing Rappy for so long but I can't win with Terumi for the life of me. Learning their frame data again took some time, but I got it for most of the roster.
I know his BnB, corner combos, OD combos, etc.. but I just suck so bad with him. I've put in loads of lab time with all three and also watch Jourdel's vids and the Game Chariot vids but I've been feeling kinda down with playing Terumi (which is funny cuz I can't do much with Haz or Plat neither).
Just some questions I have regarding him:
-Would switching to fightstick help? I've been playing GG and most of my fighters with it ages ago and from BBEX I switched to pad for some reason. I know its purely cosmetic but I don't mind hunting around my house to dig it back up again.
-I know that Terumi is a very gimmicky character, but I've been having trouble with 214D and his counter to the point that I don't use them anymore.
-What pokes are safe with Terumi? His 2A get countered quite alot in my matches for some reason and his 5B seems risky-er than Hazama's (which I know is not true).
-His 5C. Should I let the second hit in? What is the timing of the first hit so that I can j.c it? How in gawd's name do you do the j2D loop that Noze did?
-Annnnnnnnnd some pointers is much appreciated. I don't care if the all the posts are redundant, I just want some more information with him so I can keep learning.
