I currently use it to end some of my CS combos for some decent damage and helps me reach 4k in some cases. For those combos, either EX arms doesn't reach or as stated above, I can't get it out. As I get use to the more advanced meterless combos, I'll likely use it less and less.

Its been a serious issue of mine to the point where I've done training sessions of just getting that super out consistently. Even when I do it carefully and preemptively in a real match, the game mistakes it for HCF.

Its going to take a while for most people to take advantage of the defensive mechanics. Shielding can really held turn the tide of GRD, CS can be done on wakeup or during some blockstrings to give yourself some breathing room and you can always alpha counter during vorpal or with 100 meter if you really need it. Don't forget about veil-off too

The wakeup timings of this game is fascinating, same goes for the pressure of most characters. I've never played a game where I have to respect someone so much. I'm still getting use to the defensive mechanics so that might change.

I was looking at his advanced combos and fooling around with them. I'm comfortable with the combos I have now since they do decent damage and I have many choices to go for more damage or knockdown for oki. I have something for pretty much any situation and Cs opportunity.

Anyone else have issues executing his EX arms? The game is super sensitive to inputs or something because I always end up doing EX grab (HCF). Considering its a vital reversal option, I would like to do it consistently.

The Merkava's I've seen have usually been successful in their matches. He seems to have a big issue dealing with close-range pressure since his main reversal is the EX hands. I dont see much utilization of his fly mode outside of divekick combos/mixups and maybe a fireball then and there.

Merkava HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE

Shout outs to the Akane and Nazuna Cosplayers. I want to make an effort to go to NEC and EVO now. No promises.

I would be up for a FT10 but im fairly sure most people would body me.

1.Besides Kira getting overall buffs,I like the burst during EF recovery alot. Even if bursting is a last resort for me (based on my main arcana evil), I use alot of efc combos so having the ability to still burst and not have to wait till its full again is great. I'll also just add that 236B having a frame of invincibility is amazing and hilarious 2.Can't really thing of anything I dont like yet. The top tiers are stupid right now but that's about it. 3.I've started using EFC combos much more than I did in vanilla and started to monitor my meter/EF meter more. 4.The overall game still feels the same, just over all nerfs and buffs. Kira is definitely stronger but I still have the same problems I've had in vanilla so I just need practice.

i've never beaten her with my main, Kira, since vanilla and have quit since. i've beaten her with various other characters but not Kira.

I'm fairly active but people gotta invite me to play because online is dead or japanese players don't want to play me. Either add me on psn (latiosking) or connect with me on twitter (@jhlachapelle) to get some games going on. I'm good to play anytime after 6pm most days.

I made my old grappler post somewhat jokingly but i like seeing all the discussion on it.

Is arcsys scared of making a grappler decent/good? Poor Pot on his lonesome

Yeah, I looked around the thread a bit but I was wondering if there was a single source of complied info. This will work though, thank you.

Is there a place where I can read up on the new mechanics and changes or are we waiting for the english version?

GGs, I need so much more practice. I've had problems with Saki since vanilla and not many people play her enough for me to learn the matchup.

Could have gone with the more interesting Dreadnought H but I guess he will do.

I'm curious, how many different arcana do people learn for their mains and for what reason? I only use Evil for Kira as a "main" arcana and Flower for bad matches/changing things up but I thought about learning a few other ones for her just for the sake of it.

Dont worry about it, GGs for the matches we did have.

I usually can't find people when I'm on so hit me up at Latiosking if you want to go a few rounds. I just want to get my matchup knowledge up. I play Evil Kira and I don't bite.

Thank you so much, I'll format it a bit and see where I can put them on the wiki. As for the claps, it goes down in terms of speed. A version keeps Kira stationary, B moves Kira forward and C has a notciable long hop. Most kira combos use the B version

Even as I write the strategy section , feel free to give me criticizism or changes. I often ramble on certain sections when I don't catch myself doing it.
