Where do people typically play? Lobbies are entirely empty and there are times when I will stoop to the lows of netplay to satisfy my need to play :V If anyone wants to play a decent Valk, throw me a friend request or something.

I figured it might have just been the players, Uma and Suya are nuts, always opting for damage over meter. It's a shame, since I'm the type of player to opt for meter management. I guess we just have to figure it out for ourselves.

Ive been kind of out of the loop as far as 2.0 Valks development has gone , but I've noticed something that's bothersome. Did his ability to conserve wolf meter in combos get axed? I see guys like Uma No Hone and Suya riding 20% wolf meter at almost all times, and it looks really shitty.

Jin is a frametrap machine and his pressure is some of the most consistent and rewarding in the game. If he's going for airtight strings and you don't have a DP, your only hope is to IB 6C, otherwise you get counterhit by 6B and eat like 5K. Couple that with the fact that within his pressure he has access to his absolutely bonkers throw bait/TRM game, it's no surprise that his pressure is so strong. Finally, if he does manage to open you up, you get put in a vortex of unreactable 3 way freeze mixups. A truly good Jin will not let you play the game and make you feel like a damn idiot. He's pretty versatile when he goes in. Terumi on the other hand is like an annoying fly. You just kind of wait around holding down-back and he eventually goes away.

If you play Terumi, you might as well play Jin. Their gameplan is the same, yet Jin is better in almost every way :V

Yeah, we can at least be happy that the closest thing we have to a Kokonoe debacle is Nu, and even she is still able to be dealt with.

People thought he was god tier when CP 1.0 dropped. But that was mostly due to him being easier to win with at early stages of the games life cycle. He dropped to A tier some time after. Jin in CP2 looks very strong, mostly in part to gods like Tetsuwo and Fenrich bodying all of Japan. I predict his placing will shift a bit as tech is figured out for the other strong characters though. Same can be said for Ragna.

It's all good man, gotta start somewhere!

Disc oki is not gone. The reason Karinchu was going for SG was because he was playing against Sol who is severely limited in his wakeup options when it's applied properly.

If anyone has any info on Millia's new changes, feel free to post them here. I haven't seen much, but she looks pretty much untouched save for some very necessary nerfs to Dead angle (Now a blowback with 6P) and Winger no longer wallbouncing.

Strange, I could've sworn my friend who mains Venom was going off about his changes. Wierd. At the very least we know that Millia by design can't be bad, so rejoice :D

So in the midst of everyone dissecting the Loketest changes, do we know what our girl got? Or am I just waiting here twiddling my thumbs for no reason?

Agreed, it would have been the same if someone were to make a "Number of top players by character" list. In no way does it dictate actual tier rankings. Also, Valk is gdlk. Woof.

Gonna go on the record and say that I will rep this game till the day I die. My fanboyism cannot be contained.

If Kagura, who is literally one of, if not the most poorly designed character in the game is God tier, I will be so sad. I don't know what Uma is thinking,

We usually refrain from posts like this, just a friendly heads up :V

She hasn't been getting much use, what with Nu being da god. From what I've gathered she seems to be pretty middling, probably smack dab in the centre of B tier. At least she's not trash.

Our character reeks of scum :V

I mean, Millia's high/low connects before the disc does...right? *begins praying*

Are people on here playing this? I got back into it now that season 2 is picking up speed. I'm enjoying it a lot more now, and I'm loving Riptor, she's a much more interesting vortex character than Sadira was.

No, when I say 6D mixup I mean stuff like w.5AA > w.5C > 6DD > 2B/6C/throw. I've been playing long enough to know that human stuff into 6D is pretty bad :P Thanks for the advice, it's really useful stuff. really hate the OS regardless, just an added layer of needless bullshit IMO

Just basic stagger strings. Things like meaty 6B > 2A > 5D > w.5A > etc... Going for 6D mixup after I figured I had forced enough respect is being beaten as well. What do you recommend?

-1 might as well be considered safe. I mean, you're at the range where nobody has any frame 1 options that can hit you, so what is there to worry about?

Hmm, I'll be taking a lot of this in. It's true that I'm easily spooked on defense against Kokonoe, I need to stop panicking. I wasn't aware of delay 214B being the optimal air throw followup, so thanks for that. I still feel the need to reiterate that a lot of the times I beast cannoned into trap were out of desperation, I feel that every moment I spend not close to her is one that lets her set up and win, so I end up making really reckless and miscalculated approaches. And her 3C is just something I gotta play around, but goddamn that move is nuts. Thanks for the advice Kiba, I think I have a better idea of what I can do now.

Ran a set with one of the strongest players in my scene. I haven't shown any new footage of myself in a while, so the difference from last time is significant. As you can see though, my friend is much more skilled than I am, and fighting Kokonoe in general sucks. It feels nigh impossible to mount any sort of offense against her because it seems like she wins neutral. I do make some very dumb decisions due to nerves and frustration at times too, so that sucks. As usual all pointers are appreciated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9QolXhDY-s
