What is your problem with the combo? I can help you with any specifics.

GG best game ever!!!!!

Lovely... -__-

what happened to your stick?

Man I miss the GG days. We have one guy in Raleigh who still cares about GG and that is Titanium Beast (maybe Purify too?) And 2 guys in Greenville, Pacstrife and Frank the Tank. Then there is me in Greensboro. We use to play hardcore for a long time. Now its kind of faded in the wind. =/ To be honest we have more people than who I posted but they are relatively new to me. There is a tournament in Fayetville on July 9. We plan to have a GG tournament there. Go here: http://shoryuken.com/forum/threads/jul-9-2011-elite-zone-fayetteville-nc.137953/#post-5511352

Good stuff man. Congrats. Way to rep the Carl players.

Wherever your love for Carl went, which I hear is MIA at the moment. She should be appearing behind you before your opponent launches up from the Cantible.

Good video man. Very inciteful.

That is interesting. Have you tried this on Ragna? I think he has more active frames on his DP.

You gotta teleport nirvana behind you. then you won't have any issues at all. Can Hakumen counter the move considering its unblockable. I wouldn't know, but unless this is just a cheesy gimmick there has to be a good reason he's doing that. I consider Hazama easy compared to Ragna. He's hard for me.

If you guard break your opponent and they are sandwiched between you and Nirvana, you can do this in this video I just found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_P7X5ggnKE&feature=channel_video_title#t=1m50s Also this is for everybody to see. Check out how this Carl combos Hakumen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_P7X5ggnKE&feature=channel_video_title#t=4m40s

Yo Fox, No problem, glad I could help. - To counter assault you press forward on your D pad and then A+B. - Anima had super armor during the BBCS2 loketests. The developers took it out before BBCS2 was finished. So anima does not have super armor. - Carl has not practical combos using RC. The only times I use or see Japanese Carl players us it is to: * Cancel j.2C to combo off of it when they are too high to allecan. * To keep a blockstring going to stall while nirvana is healings. For example: 2A, 5A, 5B, 6B, RC, 2A, 5A, 5B, IAD crossup, j.2C allecan, - A fight stick is completely optional. There are some things that are easier on a pad than a stick and there are some things that are easier on a stick than a pad. Carl is a very unorthodox character so some would say that he's easier on a stick but that still subjective. But I assure you if a play any other character in the game it won't matter what you use, especially lambda. In regards to the solo combo I posted, no it is not from CS1. Its wasn't possible to do this combo in CS1. For instance it was impossible to get a 6B after a 623C. Also I don't think you could gatling a j.2C from a j.B in CS1. In CS1 you had to jump cancel the j.B if you wanted a j.2C to combo but you don't have to do that in CS2.

Hey Colorless, First let me say this. While although Noel is probably the second best character in the game, your friend has no idea what he/she's talking about by saying that Carl is a bad character. He is A-tier. In case you don't understand what A-tier implies, it means HE IS NO WHERE NEAR A BAD CHARACTER. Carl is a very stupid character. In case you don't know, Carl has unblockable setups that Noel has no way of getting out of besides bursts. Carl is literally one of the best characters in the game. He was always among the best even during CT and CS1. The only reason you should be prepared to lose is because he is the hardest character in the game to play. He is not for the weak. His combos along with learning how to space and control nirvana are not a walk in the park and he takes a lot of dedication. To help you out with your solo combos let me make some suggestions. Your combos into Carl's 623C is fine but its what you're doing after 623C that needs work. Try this: 5B, 6B, 623C, 6B, superjump cancel, sj.B, j.2C, j.B, jump cancel, j.B, j.C or 214C. This is Carl's more optimal solo combo. Once you have that down, you need to learn the stuff that makes Carl really good. Warning they are not easy. But they are practical and are key to using Carl to his full potential. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLxdL4GDqNs Next watch these matches of Carl players. They are really good Carls. Check this GameACHO channel regularly because they constantly put up BB vids and the Carl's usually go on decent win streaks. Just skip to the parts where the carl players are playing: http://www.youtube.com/gameacho#p/u/20/oigENHZzTjQ http://www.youtube.com/gameacho#p/u/19/yHpQ5Y1BrAU

Better train up Matt. Once I get Carl's stuff down she's next. We'll see who has the better "Derp Punch" err... I mean 6A.

OMG!!! Really? Daaang...

Yeah I noticed that about 8D a while ago. I'm starting to think that 8D never was air-untechable like we all thought. It just had a stupid amount of hit stun. A VERY VERY stupid amount.

Because we have to actually respect Hos's pressure. I don't have any of Carl's stuff down packed yet but I'm seriously going to need to play another character. Carl is good, REAL good, but he's so one-dimensional now. I plan on picking up Rachel for fun. But to be clear, Carl will always be my main. I''m not dropping him anytime soon. Right now I'm enjoying Marvel more because Joe and Ironman together are pretty retarded.

I pretty much agree. Had very little interest in any of the first batch of characters. Carl looked (and still looks) stupid. Nirvana was the only cool thing about him.

Sorry Akira when I first posted, I forgot that you can actually be too low. But that's how it is. Like I said there is no trick. You just gotta eye your height. Practice Practice Practice.

Lol heart car. Haven't fought against platinum yet but I imagine its not as annoying as Jin ice car.

I noticed this too and so I watched some vids to see what other carl players do and they go for the old school 2D 6B approach (ie they do a couple of bounce loops and then land and go the unblockable); Of course that is not reversal safe.

Good Stuff JG Mascarpone, as far as I can tell there's no trick to getting it consistently. You just have to try to get your first j.2C as low as possible. If you can do that then everything else will follow. Believe its hard and I can't do it quite consistently yet. Doing the reset on ragna is a pain.

Yeah the blockstun buff/nerf is awesome. So I have to respect my opponents pressure.

Sounds like a plan. I'll hit you up next time I plan to go to Raleigh

I don't like traveling much due to gas but would like to come out to these at some point. Weekends are usually best for me.
