What's the timing for the grab > laser super > 5D > air combo? They always tech and I don't hit them with the 5D and I get punished hard.

Watching some Mike Z videos have inspired me to want to learn Tager at least as a sub. Though right now I can barely 720.... Stupid square gate. Constant vigilance, though.

It seems to me that the timing is different for dive cancelling j.2A/B/C into 5B depending on how close the dive hits. I can get the cancel off most of the time when I hit them from what seems like the edge of the hitbox, but the timing doesn't seem to work when I'm closer. Is it all in my head (i.e m execution sucks) or is the timing different? From the edge of the hitbox I make the stick go neutral just as I hit the ground, but when I'm closer it doesn't seem to work.

Some people on SRK are bitching about Arakune and saying he's overpowered (this isn't a question of whether he's OP or not, I don't really know. Not enough experience or skill to really judge): http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=7102839&postcount=211 I know of one of his unblockables (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOZE9niikE) but it's plural, so what are his other ones? Also, apparently he has guaranteed guard break strings, and mixups you 'can't react to'. Can anyone here confirm this, or is he just talking out of his ass? These things are probably pretty advanced (if they in fact exist) and it'll be awhile until I can do them, let alone incorporate them into my game, but it's still good to know.

Sometimes I RC the 6C loop if it'll finish them off because I haven't quite gotten those combos down you listed, though they're pretty much always better if you can do them.

Wow, I feel dumb. >_>

I've got a question, I've searched and can't find an answer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JUzdPbwW-I How does the Arakune get a curse off at about 0:50 right here? I don't see an animation for anything at all. Looked at the frame data, and apparently you can Jump cancel 5D, but he went right into a 5B, which isn't on his revolver action table... I'm sufficiently confused.

My experience in this game is limited to the CPUs and my friend who is worse at the game than I am. So yeah, no argument there.

Is there any way to control what summon you get (besides the lightning guy that rapes everything when you get 10 or so soul ball things)?

Since the only version of Guilty Gear I can play is Reloaded because it's the only system I have to play Guilty Gear on, and all the information on here is for Accent Core, and I'm assuming Zappa's different in the current version, I'd like some advice/combos for #R Zappa. If he's pretty much the same (which I don't know) I'll just read the stickies, but I don't know what's different.
