i would not complain about carl because he still has to work really hard dealing with the fact that it is really really easy to simply hop out of pressure in this game to even get to put someone in a big damage situation. The match for rachel vs hakumen in cs i do complain about already because there is not shit you can do against him. they need to buff rachel so she can rush him down. as it stands you cannot zone hakumen. Lol its hakumens easiest match-up in the whole game.

dude litchi doesnt not have good mix-ups, omg :8/: seriously it seems like so many people on this website are so ignorant on the capabilities of every characters. Online i block every thing, the issue is getting away and starting you zoning or offense thats where she gets her damage. wtf Any how i thought i be nice and give some more hint info on litchi since i noticed no one really covered it in the thread. when placed in a corner by a combo, and being knockdown, every single litchi with use there staff to create this huge circular spin that travels toward you on your knockdown. you are unable to harm her while its out due to the fact that the move still is there and will not disappear if you wake dp or whatever. When people see this move coming they usually tech and the move hits them on block while there in the corner and litchi goes for another mix-up to reset you into her having enough heat to 13 orphan(gumby) distrotion drive. Or the litchi player will just pressure you while in the corner and keep you there via lockdown, and characters that have trouble with pressure will have a hard time getting out on a good litchi. The trick is to not tech when you see the move coming allowing it to hit you. she cannot combo off it, and your outside the corner free. You can tech using you invincablity frames and your golden. Litchi players will normally go for a purple throw attempt to stop you from leaving in this situation. Look for it, then break the throw, then make your next move. litchi loses all of her oki mix-up oppurtunities off this method. If she does anything else you can just tech roll behind her. I have played some really really strong litchi players and have no issues getting out the corner unpunished in this situation. I just have problem getting out of her strings while cornered, and some other things. Also if your forced to block the 13 orphans distrotion drive, it is not diffcult to block litchi going for her low and over head mix-ups. i do it all the time and this is online. you have to get use to her animation when blocking her and just block like second nature. i can actually auto-pilot block litchi's overheads now 90% of the time. but anyway just thought i share this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IDudYgXtjc&playnext_from=TL&videos=BLCkX9mQAao&feature=sub i just got finished watching this vid and i though of you guys and i posted this vid here and i see that severin beat me to it i guess very good lamabda, however horrible jin player in vid though

its not that black and white as the better player wins i would say in that match with, two players at high levels, using polar opposite character styles, the winner would be determine on what actually goes on during that match. on rachel tager and carl you got 3k off that dp, and rachel being a character who has no ways out of pressure execpt to wait for a mistake or attempt something risky and punishable after you 3k to 3.5k combo knocks us down at your feet is a bit overpowered. Its not just that though, punishing that dp is no walk in the park. i feel bad for tager and carl or even hakumen who probadly have a even worst time trying to punish that dp mid-screen on block. Though im incredibly thankful that litchi no longer gets a combo off it. that in itself feels so good. And i never said that rachel was defenseless in this match, but you made it seem as though the top three which includes rachel just had it so easy when playing against litchi when that isnt the case. You made it seem that zoning was such a powerful strategy all by itself, with rachel and nu when neither character can do this if you took advantage of there position from you from the start of the match. There not full screen then, they are incredibly close to you. neither character can fight at all when you are forcing your pole on them, and litchi out a few character has options inside both zoning espically rachels.Remember all green. dude there is no risk in jumping all over the place and j.b'ing. ill agree on less risk then others way less. In the beginning of almost every match in ct, rachels first move is crucial as to whether you will have the upperhand or be doomed to have to escape your opponents range and pressure strings. Versus litchi, for rachel i think its better to wait and see what litchi does. Ill agree that the cs tops are easier to fight then ct tops, for certain characters in the game. However the top three can easyly take advantage of the former ct top three's primary weakness of having no options out of pressure from the start of the match. Yup just like everyone whinned about tager, and whinned about the zoning characters. Players who took all that time to learn a hard character to play have the right to complain as well. You were just complaining about nu! I agree i really dont think bang is that bad, i think people are over exaggerating. he needed buffs, i think that is cs bang was in ct he probadly wouldnt even be better then jin on the tier list side of things. however litchi, oh shit!~.hakumen oh shit. Okay, i guess i could wind myself upward and hopefully when i land hakumen wont be already airdashing at me. Anyway, hakumen is one of those characters that up close and rachel is on the defense even in ct you have no options but to run away and summon something. Do you even play rachel? do i need to bring some hakumen vs rachel vids to show what why that match-up should be higher for hakumen?

TO add also i really really do not agree with hakumen vs rachel in cs match-up ratio, i really think its more close to 6.0 to 4.0 or 6.5 to 3.5 not 55 to 45. I havent even seen a rachel beat hakumen yet in any vid and when i look at how she gets beat i just sigh deeply to myself. You cannot zone hakumen, rush him down, get out of his pressure, damage him or anything all u can do is run away.

As litchi you dont have to take risk, atleast when fighting characters like rachel who have no real answer for you spamming j.b or j.c..For you having the range to harass us with 6b for a nice counter combo almost fullscreen, and when things get tough a huge high jump to saftey and throw the rod inorder to get back in. There moves that litchi has that keep spinning even after you have hit her. A dp(way to much guard stun and you get a fat combo) that forces us to use wind just to land a fork punish midscreen, then use another wind just to land a punish(other characters do not need a wind bar to damage that dp). And a broken super all green which by the way you could use on nu to get in as well. the only saving grace is that without the staff things become much less harder for us as long as we have you blocking or under a frog. They nerfed rachel to where as she stands no chance against litchi what-so-ever, in the beginning of the match in both version you have the advantage and as a player its are job to find away out saftely. And also dont forget we had to deal with nu as well and the match probabdly was harder for us then it was for you. now the match is worst in cs for rachel. All in all the game is still unbalanced maybe even more so in cs. It may not be as free for ragna litchi and bang as it was for arakune and nu but you still wont have to worry about a dp when going against the former three top tiers. You can just freely rape them. i will agree that there are pressure gaps within ct litchi's pressure and that it should have been corrected however look at what you do have. long normals, good counter combos, very good distortion drives that allow you to control the entire momentum of the match. For those that dont know how to escape is, incredibly good corner lockdown. Really high jump, and very good air normals. the ability to control alot of space. An overpowered dp. Now in cs you have it all , a character shouldnt have it all or other characters shouldnt have been nerfed to where the game becomes incredibly unenjoyable when faced up against almost the entire cast. Tager didnt have it this bad. There's a big fat huge difference between rachel's zoning, and nu's. Rachel requires the space time and activation for her zoning to be effective and she does not have the mobility that nu has in order to freely set this up. NU can zone you when ever she wants to without restrictions and has the mobilty to continue to zone without fear, she is also not restricted by a wind guage. And has amazing answers for litchi j.b and j.c spammers. Your dp kills the frog and it sucks big time, do not dp after knockdown frog if rachel has her pumpkin out. and the staff doesnt touch her after you dp. Remember rachel vs litchi is even in ct, it is now 6.5 to 3.5 litchi favor for pretty fucked up reason ^.^

When the beginning of the match starts its important to decide on what style of rachel rushdown or zoning and commit to it based on the palyer your facing. i usually rush hakumen the fuck down and rape him badly. however, hakumen normally just run away from me when i do this at high levels so i beginning zoning, make sure you do not place a frog in a situation where he can clear half the screen to j.c you on block making all the rods you placed mean nuthing. the fact that he can cut the lobelias is annoying, however, your windblowing 6d will prevent him from getting to far. Hakumen does deal alot of damage, but it's only based on his mags. Also as rachel its incredibly tough to get away again when hakumen closes the distance. so your going to have be incredibly patient and block very well. this comment adds nuthing to the actual thing he posted. Give him advice on how to make the match-up easier hakumens do not win by spamming 6c against anyone. Lol i rush hakumen DOWN! lol its pretty funny...until somthing is drived countered then im normally in alot of shit. however normally that only happens if hakumen blocks something or ib's something then drives afterward. Also i highly recommend no rachel 6a anything that looks like a j.c with hakumen, if hakumens going for this, jump and lobelia b or c. And that will smack him down

to be honest, bridgets oki is never gurantee-ed to leave into much of anything depending espically upon how the set-up is arranged, outside the corner its a bit so-so. Mix-ups are only medicore with a properly placed yo-yo, and just like carl in blazblue no one is going to willingly allow you proper placement without a fight. The thing with bridget is, which i actually enjoy so much, is that there is no one way to play bridget, every battle will feel nuthin like the last. bridget does best reacting to the situation that is present in from of him(not it). This case doesnt apply to every character, testament can perform in the same manner effectively against most of the cast. I-no and millia lockdown there opponents for mix-ups in the same fashion every match within there unique character specific tactics. there will be many times where bridget is forced to rush down characters who perform much better from far away, or gain powerful combat advantages while a far.As bridget its your job to react to the situation at hand and do everything you can to get the best results. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_ixIlUiZAA&playnext_from=TL&videos=b8hwUI3jvkU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC1Hp0wK7e8&playnext_from=TL&videos=MnDCqOKg5P0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IamtEsY_A1o&playnext_from=TL&videos=OUTffyZ-31I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssZkWpyRAuc&playnext_from=TL&videos=BjPwtayENhg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7U7IYuecY0 Some of my favorite vids, its incredibly important to watch and learn from players that perfoem well with character that are much mroe difficult to learn and perform with. I myself is still learning and want to keep improving im not where near where i want to be. i want to be able to say i can take on ruu's bridget one day or even jais. thanks man,

4r5/pat: its around bout 3:11 its not commands its just the landing of the two. Maybe i should just practice it more. i seen in one vid the player used j.d and still got a combo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLPOYca1PL4
