... muh? ... I would kill for a new Makoto outfit.

No, I'm pretty sure I've seen him throw somebody clean out of guard crush stun in CP. I can't remember where though... Wee need veedeeo.

Bullet tops Tsubaki a bit I think. But they're both pretty ass-first. I think it evens out due to the fact that in Tsubaki's case its rather impressive, considering how conservative her outfit is.

So, one of three things will happen: 1) Despite all this bluster, Ragna and Jin don't ever seriously try to kill each other (even if they do fight some more). Because, y'know, there's other real badguys and "fuck fate" and all that. 2) Ragna and Jin DO seriously try to kill each other for good (or at least comprehensible) reasons. 3) Ragna and Jin seriously try to kill each other simply because DESTINY and it's kinda lame and forced and unnatural. I just hope its not #3.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the faster startup can only mean that the super armor also acitvates faster. It certainly looks that way, from everything I've seen so far. 6A might actually be a legit tool outisde of combos now. Not perfect, but definitely moreso than before.

The fearsome voice of... Odie? ... also Jecht and The Pain.

Alright, cool. I was thinking 6A (with its seemingly faster armor startup) might be a nice reaction to Bullets who like to hop in the air and threaten with their circle-o-pain. I'd kinda feel like a chump if that always just forced me to go on the defensive.

Just goes to show: Tager's worst matchup is Tager. More seriously: could Bullet's drive beat 6A super armor? It's blockable, but it's also throw-ish, so I'm not sure. Also I lol'd when her counter assault whiffed vs 6A > 6B

At the very least, he's definitely an ass, man.

That is certainly a comment you made there. Seriously guy. What Circ said.

Oh yeah, I nearly mentioned RC possibilities but thought it was obvious. Seems like we still get plenty of meter overall so it's not like it's an unreasonable option. And yeah doing it off of j5D is pretty boss.

As if there weren't enough character specific combos. In, like, any fighting game. I mean yeah that's logical, but geeze the learning curve...

Speaking of Rachel/Kokonoe and sacrifices: As much as we hear rumblings about Koko being a playable character, a while back I had the idea that if she remained plot-important but also unplayable, she'd be a great candidate for a tragic death partway through the series. I almost want it to happen just to see some extreme Tager Rage.

It seems like they can tech roll before you recover. I don't think that's very good oki, honestly.

Well, before this even, one could wonder why the hell he can only launch himself off the damn screen when he's holding somebody, heh. Fightan gaems.

His... ass trail?

Oh my god that second round, lol. Epic.

They need to just give him the hover jets we all know he probably has anyway. Though, air pot buster made about as much sense.

Yeah that does kinda feel faster than 18F. I wonder exactly how fast though. If it's faster than the head invuln on old 2C (11F)... that'd be neat. I won't hold my breath though.

Well... did that look faster than 18F? I'm honestly not sure. I feel like I'm studying some grainy video over and over, trying to see if a vague shape is a UFO. BECAUSE I WANT TO BELIEVE.

Well I don't know if that would be a HUGE buff, but it would be nice. You'd think he'd keep that shit topped off.

You could sum any character up as "you want to do X thing." This seems kinda unfair chaos. To quote a relevant passage from the "When All You Have Is A Hammer" page on TVTropes: "A partial justification is that there are many ways to arrive at what looks like the same conclusion. For example, all of General Patton's strategies were elaborate ways to shoot stuff with tanks, and all successful modern infantry tactics ends the same way: 'and then we shoot them/call in the artillery.'"

Ah, well that's actually a bit heartening. Well, except for the recent nerfs. Well, he's a huge guy who mangles the fuck out of people, which is the reason I played as him to start with. Complete with "stand here get thrown/jump get heat knuckled" mindgames. So yeah, I'd say so. Oh and don't forget legit oki because people don't roll around like tumbleweeds in GG.

Eh, I complain (I always will) but I'll still play as him. Have ever since CT came out. Cranky old farts we are.
