Patch Tager Ohh well. Surprised to see 2 litchi's make it to the top 8. I wonder if any matches were hype though.

If you can read the airdash before it happens, which people tend to telegraph a lot, you can catch them with an AC. Otherwise, use a backdash or block.

I have always played characters that punish/kill half a lifebar really fast. So Tager :d. Also because he has the best astral in the game.

When i notice people turtling up on me when my meeter is full, I shoot a spark bolt. If it hits, free damage. If it's blocked, I wait for them to try and air dash/ ground dash and let them eat a magnetized D to the dome. A lot of people want to get very aggressive after that spark bolt goes out.

Watch for that retarded crossup with the kick. Barrier him away for breathing room. If you expect flying nails, sledge them. It's risky but effective if they try to airdash-> nail for pressure. Be patient, 360b punish his "counter" moves if your confident you can catch him. I have not experimented with backdash->360 yet, but I have hit it on a few Bang's who were kinda scrubby but did apply pressure. If he goes super bang annyoing music, spark bolt rapes him.

Maybe I'm just bad (And if I am I'll just delete thread or something), but this matchup gives me all sorts of hell. I can't seem to find anything I can beat her with and her blockstrings seem really safe. How do you handle her?

I was having this problem too. It just dawned on me today. You can't hold down C because the grab portion of the move wont trigger. Example being 2C->623C. If you hold the C, you won't make the grab. But if you 623C and let go of the button, it will grab. So if you know they are in range for the grab, let go of C and initiate tagar rape. Edit: Maybe that should be put in the portion about the move to help avoid confusion.

Sledge -> A,A,A,B,C,D The A,A,A,B hits. The C needs to be blocked (usually is), and the D has caught everyone off guard so far. Even if blocked, you have a magnetized opponent. After I do that twice or so, I go for the 360B for big soviet damage or a 720. Also, pro tech: A,A,A,A,A,720C Never see it coming.

When he does the ice riding thing with the slash after: A,A, ect ect. I have yet to have anyone beat me after that.

....I contributed?! I did something right! :D

Been messing around with Tagar a lot in training and I think I might have found something (prolly old news but I didn't see it in the thread). Sledge(B) -> 360 Tagar throw. Game is reading that it's not techable. If im just being an idiot, ill remove quickly.
