pssst. danny. good games. until the lag started. (my pink is cooler than your pink p.s.)

As a Carl player i can say that the training stage lacks visual cues and makes it a little more difficult for me to gauge my spacing in combos. I dislike it.

3C launching is kinda funny because if memory serves you can do 3C -> 3C ... at least I've done it in training a few times on accident. It'll be interesting to see where that takes us. 8D is really frustrating tho. i'm hoping it will be like 5b jc on block from the CS loktesting. I can see the Anima thing being pretty usefull tho. if you cant poke her out of it, their only option is to back up (yay negative) wait and break the throw or to jump out. either way it's a hairy situation. if they break the throw it gives you time to get in on them and if they jump out you can predict and try to punish. I like this anima thing. I've always wanted it to have applications. on a side note, there is a loketest discussion thread, why we posting here lol.

The trouble with juggles as far as i can see is that the best ones only come off of starters that are not easily obtainable without first getting a good ground set up, and furthermore juggles are very specific on spacing. Also at this current junction, carls juggle potential is pretty well fleshed out. Personaly i think carl's ground game is an area worth exploring, Especially strange things that deviate from what people expect. If you are expecting to get launched then suddenly you are in a ground string it's going to throw your focus. Mind Games are always important. And touching on damage, 2 ground resets = 3 seperate 2-3k combos so between 6-9k damage.

it seems significantly hard on anyone at least as far as i can tell.. i really think i need to see this because trying to do it in training the 2nd j.b always resets or whiffs...

If you can vid capture that it would be amazing because honestly i can wrap my head around things so much better when i can see them. Just playing with you the other day made so many things make so much more sense lol.

I have had that happen to me too.

best thing i can ever come up with is to try to land 5b iad-j.2c cross ups into summon combos or at least summon -> block string and mix up.

Just take mashing away from everyone else :D

uhmn... i don't have much of an opinion per se. D: i'll wait to see what everyone else thinks.

i do try to do that but i get random 6/2 D/C's mixed in there. i'm kinda messy sometimes.

I find of the mix ups/resets i do, 3C air dash j.b... is the most commonly blocked/predicted.

SOrry i kinda misread that. If i ever get that summon combo to work (i dont typically because i have a very hard time with it's input..) after the j.2Calle~can cross over i'll either 5C j.b Allegretto 8D or just j.b allegretto 8D if i'm feeling confident enough in my timing. Easier to start 2D loops after they hit the 8D. probably not as damaging but if ur dropping the trickier combos, consistent but slightly weaker is probably gonna win more matches. that's my moto.

where are you bouncing over them? or are they going over nirvanna? certain characters (i find Rachel loves to do this...) seem to get behind 2D's hit box f they are too close to her. The only other thing i can think of off myhead is that you are hitting j.2C too deep into their hit box, causing you to cross over them. in other words you are too close to nirvanna and them when you j.2C. You might not be stepping/hopping back far enough when you land.

it's 9, 5, 6. u need to let the whatever return to neutral first. it's a quick motion. 8 66 is just an air dash lol. as far as the j.2c thing u might just be rushing the input. just start slowly.

We should probably move discussion of this thing to the Online directory, but anyways: I'm still gonna show up tonight but oh lord i am fairly sure i will not be anywhere close to top of my game tonight. 2 hours of sleep -> 9 hour day -> i'm dying it hink. so ... i might need to ask for rematches when i've had sleep. XD but i will show.

I want to be in but i will nopt be off work tomorrow until 6:00, so i wont be in till like 6:15/30ish. can you save me a spot please?

i'm active but also a very silly player if you still wanted a 3rd for the lag tournament.. but idk.

see i buffer it 5B 2B 6B 4D vivace a c.c so the auto Gatling does nothing for me. i find the slight delay makes it reset more consistently. if i just go form 5-6B sometimes it combos and u cant really pick it up from a 12 hit ground combo :X I just feel like 6B is long enough to have time to go 4D -> 1236 A. works for me.

On silly note, because of the 2B-5B gatling and the 5B 6B auto gatling, that might make it allot easier to do a 2D 6B unblockable c_c' edit: wtf meant to push the edit button not the reply/quote button c_c

oh good so it doesn't just look cool :D how if only i could get the vivace cross over timing and 5B s.j. J.B timing right. i seem to over-shoot it often get that wonderfully mashed out 5b-6b auto gatling. i would love it if they got rid of that. it's not THAT hard to go 5B 6B->buffer a direction+D for nirvana to release in c.c

i doubt they would mess with those things Cap. I could maybe see them nixing Volante's Air-untechable status or 4D's proration though.

No you're right really. his mechanics do not really allow for mid tier. it's all or nothing lol. I just have never picked characters on their tier. it's about 60% aesthetic 30% fun to play 10% are they strong. And i kinda like that i stumbled on a very technical very powerful character :3

CH cantabile's are just amazing c.c'' I wish they were easier to fish for. Usually only get them if people are being dumb, like tagers who 5D spam nirvanna 9_9' side note, what's proration like oh 4D as a starter? I like to use it as a cross up reset when i can. looks flashy XD

Oh also i find UB reset difficulty character specific XD. depends on if you can jump loop them or not really lol. And i've never played Carl for tiers XD i just love that top hat and his crafty tactics.
