A.X.I.S.

Hmm a big opinion of myself? I suppose this star makes me think like that. Hell I am the least mod like mod on this forum but I think I do my job well considering many of you guys don't have time to do some of the things I do. I really really love playing Tager. On a scale of 1-10 its 25. Normally I save myself the hassle of sounding like a broken record by posting a lot of info but people still miss it. I always thought my biggest problems are: Not being easy to understand. Posting too much info. Sounding like a perfectionist jerk when I tell advice. But I digress, I gave up on trying to do that and considered it part of my nature...I just give too much and expect too much out of myself and others. Also there is a stream of me fighting the Noel mod for 2 or so hours on stream, there is no mic but the matches themselves will leave you laughing and wondering wtf I was doing. @ Ve: Crafty...just crafty. Edit: Dacid is so optimistic it makes me want to find a rainbow and skip on it.

I enjoyed the image I just didn't say anything as usual. If I came here and stated my opinion on every little thing then you guys would never argue. I like seeing discussion here because you guys may say something that I don't know or you let me know how you guys think about x or y. I mean I just want to see growth and when I speak its like putting the foot down on the whole thing, I don't want to do that. That is if I am making any sense. With that said. Dacid got blown up by Ve. Ve is a old man. Osuna can find happiness when he finds the princess. etc etc good shit.

6B has such crappy P1 that there is no real optimal FC combos for it.

Orion is my Hero! Shit like that ruins lives...In America!

I did a write up on Arakune. Be prepared to deal with a lot of crap.

I felt bad for Brice when that Arakune appeared. Edit: Brice is solid.

Dora is the best troll in Japan. 5K off a CH air double palm thrust.

I just saw something amazing...thank you Orion.

Jin, Makoto, and Plat has been updated. Post those vids in the critique thread. D:

Doesn't seem like it when I tried. 720 just comes out too fast I suppose.

On hit it seems to always purple...maybe if I hit down and delay buffer? I seriously don't know.

You have to do 214A78963214 stuff pretty much. In the video I uploaded you can actually see me trying to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tcaI8z-7dM&feature=channel_video_title

I'll share some info since I play this match a lot. This match is one of our easier ones played right with the risk of getting hit once and your in it for the long haul so I'll keep this short since I am more a less a ghost here. There are 3 things you want to do when fighting Arakune offensively: 1. Make him block something. 2. Make him scared to set up anything or zone. 3. Kill him fast. These things are easier said than done and I'll elaborate. On the defense you want to: 1. AA him. 2. Not get caught blocking. Now how do we accomplish this? Simple. At max range you have item summon, the items you want are: Hammer, Missile, Bomb, and Cat Hammer. Hammer makes it easier to close in on him and escape from his pursuit, use it wisely because he can poke you while your moving in. Missile makes him jump to avoid it, you want him to block it so do your best to make him block it. Bombs are your AA tools here if he is in the air mess with him with these, as usual make him block these, if he doesn't block then confirm it into damage and rush it. Cat Hammer says no to a lot of the things he want to do on the ground like escape or mash back dash, give him a smack and let him know you have it. Max range you want to get a item out, use pan for mystic momo since it has a nice trajectory and leads to good damage if you can pick it up. (5K if you go for the normal BnB 100p1 FTMFW!) Be careful doing this because Arakune can J.D you for it, so learn Arakune's j.D ranges so you can stand between those gaps. Bell bug is a issue run under it and get in if you see the start up, beware of 2D, you may heart car it if you are reading it. Teleports are not a threat 5A him or 2B him for the low profile, in fact you think he is gonna 5A you for any reason then abuse 2B and get your damage. Mid Range is tough business everything becomes reactionary. 2C is a great anti air here but as usual don't get baited, Arakune can 100% curse you on CH if he is close. 6A is an ok anti air but you gotta have it out early. Use items to your best discretion. Oh bat is used best here, get him off before he gets started, make him think before J.B etc etc. Close Range is one sided for both parties. Plat must get in and land a hit at this point, no more trying to make him block, its time to make him feel pain, I opt for oki but damage is fine too if you feel for it. Look out for his CA, it turns the tables really hard in this one. On the defensive IB and gtfo or take a chance and AA when he tries to repeat pressure. You see his overhead then get out the way or use the baseball bat. You cannot afford to get cursed, Little Plat can't take a beating sorry. PS. F of G is not a threat, you see super flash and your not doing anything then buffer barrier during flash and rush or if you are in the air swallow moon and laugh. I am done with this one. Enjoy.

Orion's post got me intrigued so I got a camera and recorded me trying to do it off various things. I'll link the video in about? 15 minutes...or you can check my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/orochishade

You can still buffer 720 off a 6A?

You actually can...just really hard. I did it a few times.

Simple, after the first GF they are considered OTG so you can do it again to jump outs and some backdashes. For example if you gadget Arakune you can gadget finger him again if he tries to backdash, the pull would actually make him reappear in front of you and then you can punish with 360B. Fun observation and a bit upsetting. Because of the magnetism nerf we do not have the kara throw anymore. It went: 5D>B+C. (you piano the input kinda.) 5D's start up gave us a little pull when doing the throw making it into a fun yet damn near useless kara. Just want to share this irreverent piece of info. If you wanna see it in action then switch back to CT/CS1 and try it.

Nope. All I need to make Mu think twice is hold a spark bolt. Tager can punish some of the things Mu would try to do with spark. Unfortunately she still has things that make Tager want to jump off a cliff but overall its not that bad.

Wait wait let me get this straight. You ask a Litchi main what Tager's worst match ups are? Ok then let me help you out with this because this has been answered many times before: Arakune and Hazama. Everyone else is bad to its not so bad. But those two are the worst of the worst. I'd rather fight a militia of bears in the dark with raw meat strapped to my chest than fight Arakune and Hazama.

Actually I tested that combo and it did 3.9k damage with J.D and 3.8k with J.C I believe. Also if they are not magnetized then you can do the optimal somewhat character specific combo's for 3.6kish damage max. Combos that has: Collider>j.C whiff>j.2C>2B>Collider>ender Collider>J.C whiff>j.B>5C>Collider>ender Collider>walk Bsledge>2B>Collider>ender Just wanna leave that here.

5B>4D I theorized that 5B>2B would work but they are usually too high for it to connect.

Luna told me he can get 3-4k off of J.A if it hits.

J.C/J.D>(5C/6A)>collider>j.D whiff>j.2C>stuff usually gets the most damage. I might be wrong on damage figures because j.D and 2D are the only starters iirc that can hit 4k.

Ok guys I edited the first page take a look and see what needs to be corrected.

Your argument hurts me and you all. Now before I dive in and get some mod work done I have to talk about Bang a bit. In neutral Bang has mobility, even if he jump cancels 7IAD will always beat a air punish attempt even if you IB, it doesn't help that he can jump back and throw nails to shut you down or worse look for the air grab and break it. Of course this can apply to anti air's as well. Wake up guys! No one has to get hit by a anti air if they expect it! Meaning they can bait it and punish you or do something unexpected. For example are you gonna mash 2C if Bang has 2 bumpers over your head, one on each side? I hope not because you can and will be baited and punished accordingly. Ok I am gonna do other stuff. Now guys...spread the love please. I can't spread it myself.
