22C can be used in the air.

imo platinum doesn't have a best item because of all the stiuational uses for them pan = good mixup potential/ damage. instant overhead pan = 4k near corner/3k+ midscreen plus oki but mixup can be obvious bat = good gimmicks/ dp reversal but loses positioning due to recovery and the opponent being knocked away. lion = good counter poke/ don't do stupid stuff from far away but whiffs face to face. bombs = good for stopping air movement and keeping people away/oki setup off of 3c but can easily be avoided/ telegraphed. hammer = good guardbreak (2 regular/3 sugoi version) and damage (7-8k) but is slow so you have to really be positive that you're going to land it/guard crush someone. missile = good zoning/ frame traps but can be avoided easily because of slow start up.

6b is +1 on block so yes

Yes, the hammer combos are height based, basically platinum has to be high enough to where the 2nd hammer hits late so that she can recover in time to hit the 5C. it works on everyone so long as your first jump is a super jump

i can help write up some stuff if ya'll like. i have more free time so yay~ oh and for some reason that video says fight for 3rd. disregard that since that was still a fight to be in top 8

if you're using dream sally in corner for combos, always go for 214C. too many hits and 214A delayed will miss. also, me vs huey! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0KBrrSA5QQ

actually that's the starter of the combo if you're not near the corner, here are two variations of me doing it, it blue beats in the second one because i was still learning the timing but i guarantee you that the combo is legit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2NIuVdRQ88#t=16s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T3zISEsn-c#t=56s

does anyone have huey's number by any chance? it's an emergency and i need it asap. plz pm me as soon as you read this if you have it.

pz is not open this week as they are dissassembling/loading up cabinets and stuff to take to the convention. if you come in thursday that's cool, see you then

congrats huey! looking forward to getting some games in with ya. do you happen to know when you come in?

the fry pan combo that ao tried to land was the one i wrote out a page or two ago in case ya'll wanted to know what he was trying to go for

j.4c is by far a better air to air than before. to be honest though j.a is still as good as it was as an air to air. to me j.B feels a tad slower so it's very iffy, not sure but kensou can clarify it. edit: after watching the latest ameguro matches, bang has 2 options off of a midscreen command grab RC. 1) if you're feeling lazy and willing to burn an extra 50/for the kill: 5C > 6D > daifunka for 5.2k 2) if you feel you can take them to the corner than just as dacid posted: 5C > tk236C > dashing 6c > iad j.4C > j.623B > 5B > 623B > 2B > 6C > dj.4C > dj.C for 4.6k and 30% meter gain.

i play whoever. i'm maining platinum but am willing to test things out if i read anything. i wasn't able to test out the combos you asked about zeth, everytime i tried to do them i wasn't in range for the 5C. it seems to be very spacing dependent to get that dashing 5c off so i dunno. on another note, something that happened while i was playing with bang off of 2D trade near corner: 2D trade > 5c > 6D > super crush > 5b > 6c > j.4C > j.supercrush > dash under 5a > 5b >j.a > j.b > j.4c > dj.4C > j.c for 4.6k and 2 seals

bang cannot do 5a to 5k unless he's in FRKZ. also afaik 5c > webnail may not yield as much damage as 6D the followups because of 6D's good prorate. kensou has tried both 5C> 6A and 5C> 6D after command grab RC and it's a noticable difference in damage. i'll be sure to ask him to test it out today for ya'll though if he doesn't see your post dacid.

tk super crush on a grounded opponent has less carry than ground super crush. this allows for better positioning since it has quicker recovery so by the time they've teched you'll be close enough to them for pressure.

since bbcs2 here is not run on nesica we do not have access to the other 12 colors. also, fry pan combo from nsb stream: near corner/corner j.D > airdash j.C > 22C> dashing 5D > dashing 2C> late 22C> 5C > 236B > 6C > swallow moon> j.C > 22C> 5C > 6A > 236B = around 4504 damage, but didn't pay attention to meter gain while i was practicing it. if you don't have 2 pans then skip the dashing 5d part and go straight to 5C > 236B. combo will be around 4200 damage iirc.

you cannot combo off of lion/cat head CH or not as you can quick tech on hit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94G5odtCIeY#t=4m36s pay close attention and you'll see her do paper and scissors

everytime she 5a's her hand forms one of three things: rock, paper, or scissors. the hitbox doesn't change at all, it's just an animation thing. i'm absolutely sure because i everytime i do something i actually look at her animations to see what they look like. it's really interesting to see all her animations.

since i'm able to play it now i'll be able to test things out! i'll try and help out with stuff as much as i can fun thing to note (i don't know if it's been mentioned or not sorry guys): platinum's 5a is actually her throwing out rock, paper, or scissors on you

ya'll act like instant overheads haven't been in the game until now. I have no clue why everyone says rachel was beyond terrible. she definitely wasn't the worst character in the game

i consider ora the best hazama. he IS hazama

5a is an amazing AA :O
