Will you hold casuals post tournament?

So, is this still tomorrow? I definitely want to see it!

Steve when are you letting EU boys in. I want to have fun too ;_;

I might join in the casuals if you guys don't mind lagging a bit.

http://youtu.be/9LM-dKBSP5Q Akihiko just punched the nerfs in the face.

Sorry! Guess the last part of my post was very rude. I didn't mean it like that, but reading it again made me see how bad it was. My apologies.

So Marie went back in time and stole Sweep>5D? Just when I thought I couldn't hate her character more. EDIT: Sorry for being a dick

*Needs a better image* Remember that these changes may or may not be final. The 2.0 patch hits Arcades on January 15th. This topic is meant to follow said changes as close as possible. Thanks to Sourenga for translating all of the following: Confirmed Changes by Arcsys SB Added Cruel Attack can be both OMC'd & Super Canceled j.C has faster start-up, landing recovery decreased 5C has now longer reach, its hitbox is horizontally longer. The following are (yet) Unconfirmed changes/Speculation/Impressions of Japanese players as of November's loketest: Collapsed: Changes to Kanji's Normals: Auto Combo is more difficult to combo into Bet Ya Cant Take This (j.214AB), but SB version still works 5B and charged 5B connect to 2B on hit J.C changes: Rising j.C works Both Fatal Counter & Fatal Recovery removed Causes crumbling on counter hit. Collapsed: System Changes: Increased range and slower startup on his Throw (C+D) All-out Attack: Whether it's Kanji-only or just a bug is unclear, but he's able to cancel All-out Attack with Skills. -4 or less on block (Akihiko's 5A couldn't punish it) (System Change, AOA's are more safe) Collapsed: Special Moves: Collapsed: This'll Hurt (214A/B): SB version damage nerfed. Overall damage nerf. SB now deals same damage as C version used to. Order is C < SB < D (Current order is C<D<SB) D version no longer has fatal recovery Collapsed: Primal Force: C-version A lot faster start-up No bounce even on counter hit Can pass through the opponent if used close by Takemikazuchi disappears faster on hit and on block D-version A lot more slower start-up Takemikazuchi appears, waits a moment then starts to attack. Kanji becomes able to move when Takemikazuchi starts to move. Vid shows that, literally, Kanji gets to move right when Take can. Bounce on counter hit SB-version Collapsed: Bet ya Can't take this! (J.214A/B): Harder to combo into Mandive from 5AAA in both A and B versions. SB is fine. Collapsed: Gotcha! (236C/D): Collapsed: Cruel Attack (236A/B) (Air Ok): SB Version of Added Cruel Attack is now both OMC and Super Cancelable Collapsed: Super Moves: Collapsed: Ass Whooping (236236A/B): Collapsed: Burn to a Crisp! (214214A/B): Other Stuff: Video Changes: Primal Force C is slower Primal Force can be OMC'd (no clue if universal or C/D specific) Primal Force D has more startup, Kanji can move when Take can. SB is fast. It shows that you can set Take back with 5D but I don't know if it's just to show that you can do so so fast that you avoid punishes or if it's that you can only move Take-Mikazuchi with the SB one SB Cruel Attack allows for good combos. 5B>2B seems to be back as well. SB Chair Follow up can be super canceled. Grab Damage nerfed. Sweep now has chest invuln.

"Misplaced anger" is translated as Furious Action IIRC but I don't see much sense on that translation here?

Think I'll join even if I'm not that good. Practice never hurts. Do we have multiple tries? :v

How come I never heard of this! Are 3 and 8 really Europe?

P4U? Are we going back to the old version? I totally wouldn't mind. I'll join on this one :v

Just to point it out you can't OMC DP, but you can go for GW

It's a hop cancel not a jump cancel

1- DP'ing after 5C is not recommended as (I don't know if you noticed) Adachi's DP is one of the most blue health consuming ones, giving him a 10% health blue bar, which means any combo your opponent gets on you will do an additional 950 dmg or less if you started recovering However, this can be used to get extremely desperate Awakening + Mandala installs to make you as tough as possible. 5C>DP>Mandala will give you a lot of blue health, but you've gotten into awakening + Mandala buff. I don't recommend using this for any other thing. 2-The other super is Atom Smasher. A good reversal but a pretty bad combo ender. 3-5C>Stance slide is usually to get one of the following: -A Sideswap with 236BB that allows for Riser+2C to get you out of the corner + Install + Damage -A corner carry move + safejump possiblity with 236AA. 5C Stance deals a good amount of damage for a regular combo (About 2k)

If you remove innecesary filler it should become easier to get the reset. You need to pay attention to Adachi (At least I do) to know when to Dash to 5B. As long as you don't delay it too much you should still be able to get the reset thanks to how Spin State works here. Just try practicing simple 236ABA to 5B. There's a lot more time than you think.

Actually I think 5C might be the problem here. Corner Spin Combo: 2AB>214AB>5B>2C>hop 5C>5b>2b>2c>2d>Spin to GW should work fine. 5C adds a lot of P1 (I'm not sure if this is the right term so I'd also use "combo scaling" here) so It might be messing up with some of your combos. 2D is not impossible to combo off but it is pretty hard. If you want to do it remove all of innecesary filler to go ASAP to 2D: Corner 2ab>214AB>5B>2B>2C>2D> Spin is a legit route.

http://youtu.be/TGYeMUQpHgs An hour of matches of a Char War vs Marie players with FluxWaveZ and Sonicfox amongst others. I'll edit later with Adachi and Marie players.

Pre-Awakened Mandala. Don't get people too excited Drake pls ;_; But yeah I didn't know about the spin state options where so dumb. I always had my doubts if it was a legit reset or not. Another good punish would be (After spin state) 5B>236BB>5C>2C>J.C>5C>2B>J.B>J2C>J2D. It's featured in a lot of Pet's videos and deals a bit more than 4K IIRC.

No. Stream is up: http://www.twitch.tv/nerd455

Okay. I'll be waiting for you though. They might already have their own team and I don't want to let you down.
