And those 2 wins took everything you could muster both cognitively and physically didn't it. Like this match is both physically exhausting and mentally exhausting cus one mistake and ur cursed n then its the yelling at your t.v. What are your thoughts you guys I'm sure you all must have been hit by the curse c loop, takes off half of hakumens like bar if done properly, to burst or not to burst, since I do not recall ever making a come back from that combo. I have even begun to burst early in certain situations against arakune, if he has barely any life and I have half or more and get cursed from a combo I usually burst and manage to pull of a win. Nu, once you fight her long enough you could easily block her combos it's just getting in close thats the problem and it is easier to land yukikaze on her compared to arakune, who has THE most ridiculous mix up it's soooo good it practically nullifies the use of counters. And if I do try to land a yukikaze it's just a stab in the dark cus im cursed and I hope maybe a bug will hit me during yukikaze activation. Maybe it is just me but seeing the improvements to hakumen get me slightly irritated with some of his match ups like how had it is to not get CH in the air against tager and how slow some of hakumens slashes are. I still love using him but WOW.... arakune I've really grown to loath him online and otherwise.

So does anyone have any sure fire methods to remove the cloud about you at mid range with arakune spitting his curse bugs at you? I know at full range arakune cant stop you from removing the over head curse cloud but at mid range I cant seem to think of anything that doesnt lead me to getting cursed =/... Also what about when you are in the corner cursed or not cursed is there any way of getting out of there especially if there is an overhead cloud above you keeping you from moving. The only method I have managed is either a yukikaze whether they dodge it or not ur outta the corner, or 2d but if they are face enough spitting their curse bugs 2d is useless. And as input to help with this match up the course cloud that surrounds arakune is best dealt with a j2c usually removes it and the possible bell bug and if arakune is attacking will most likely give him a CH. However if they teleport and the cloud moves youll get hit/cursed with most likely a CH to boot which then i recommend a jc, itll destroy the cloud since the slash hits low which is where the cloud will move when/if he does that low teleport thing in the air.

Alright you all have convinced to attempt to mod my remote:8/: thanks for all the inputs so far. But only against Nu and Arakune (on aerial CH mainly) I do I attempt to rushdown otherwise I usually just stand still and punish opponents on recovery never really been the rtsd type (thus why I can't play as ragna/sol ). Haku-men's fighting style I find suits me more than Ky's did due to the ability to counter.

Yea wasn't "mashing c" persay I was trying to get out shippu (I play with the 360 d-pad and still breaking into it NO WILL NOT GET A FIGHTING STICK OR PLAY ANALOG >.<) but so far thanks for the input, jeeze I guess I'll have to get more vids of myself up, I usually land 5d/yukikaze I play based off anticipation. I usually have a general guess when my opponent is going to attack me more so with RTSD characters. Renka into zantetsu I'm still getting used to but I can do it on the ps3 d-pad (I play A LOT better on the ps3 =3) but not using gurren at the beginning is good advance cus when I think about it now it's minimal damage I can do. But I'll be sure to get more vids from now on hopefully more serious matches. THANKS GUYS!!!!! Oh yea and about renka everytime i try to land zantetsu after one hit it ALWAYS whiffs is it that I am not doing the input fast enough? =[

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6OPZ-wCHD4 Finally managed to get a video of me fighting I'm the one fighting Nu @ 6:00, any tips to improve on? This was just a casual match, not me fighting at my best but it's better than nothing. I'll also try and get a vid up of me fighting my BB apprentice who uses arakune, I gotta work on the match up like hell now >.< Thanks in advance oh and EVERYONE WATCHING THE VID SUBSCRIBE TO THE GUY WHO POSTED IT "XITHMOS" HE NEEDS MOAR SUSCRIBERS:toot:!!!!

By the way is it a bad idea to do low pokes or standing pokes are in haku's best interest? Is there anything you can once your sword is auto guarding Magna-tech-Wheel. Cus then ur just stuck in the air until his over head comes to finish you off.

DO NOT POST HERE!!! Sorry not trying to be an ass but no posting here, delete it plz, in terms of questions post them here: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7387 The guys in here will comment to you question. By the way can't someone change the title of this thread which includes the words "DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS/STATEMENTS THAT AREN'T SYSTEM CHANGES" I mean can't the mods change it? EDIT: @ Tofu Warrior, in Calamity Trigger tager's magnetization lasts about 4 seconds from what I counted

What is the best action aside from block when jin is air dashing in for an attack? They usually go for a j.b of a j.d. Can haku-men's 6a go through jin's j.d?

Yea theres a reason to that, you see DD's with invincibility frames have a certain amount OF time before the get the yukikaze hit. Meaning that haku users must stand still for the hit to take place the moment they move or try another attack the yukikaze hit vanishes. It's happened to me but since i spend a lot of time in training mode i knew about this affect and let hakumen stand still and sure enough they still got hit ANIME STYLE:yaaay: NOW: how can Blood Kain be dealt with, I was facing this ragna player and we were pretty much tied until he started using blood kain which i wasn't able to handle him in that mode. So how should a haku-user handle blood kain, if you block too much you get a guard break, if your offensive you get pulverized

WHAT?!!! 9000?!!!!! THIS IS MADNESS THAT YOU SPEAK OF, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! BTW does anyone have any combos with a CH 3c? I was watching a match of Kurushii where he did 6b>renka(214b) but as I am in training mode i cannot seem to emulate it since my 6b i believe the term used is "whiffed" after the 3c CH three outta four attempts.

What are they attacks that Bang can punish with his burning heart drive? I know j,2c is hard for him to punish since I've been able to block in a number of circumstances but what else is absolutely punishable and unpunishable.

2d like 6d come out in 1/4 of the frame time, meaning that 5d has a 4 frame start up but a 12 frame active frame point, making ti VERY useful bus useless when I.B'ing. Like I said before 2d and 6d have a 1 frame startup meaning that they come out immediately. However they only have a 7 frames of activity, that being said you must use those on reaction to attacks or instant blocking. It's a pretty good deal with you think about it, one fourth of the start up frames to use them for only have the half the activity frames for 5d. So 2d and 6d must be used as soon as the attack is about to land test it out in training mode to see what i mean. When the round starts with a noel I usually press 5d to he how much they spam, or a 2c if i think they might try to trip me.

So with all seriousness out of a rate from 1-10 and 10 being EXTREMELY stupid how stupid is it to do an air dashing j.c with hakumen at the beginning of the match against nu. I was watching a replay I downloaded on xbl with a fairly skilled hakumen against a somewhat less skilled nu and his attack landed and preceded to wail on her. And if it is an extremely stupid move what would you suggest as an opening move for hakumen, my guess is that most people would say to block is the best option. But a few times I've managed to land guren(236a) and then a c either 6c or 3c on fairly skilled nu players.

So what would you guys suggest be the best opening move in this matchup. Personally I've recently began doing straight double jumps so as to see what arakune is most likely going to do in the second round and onwards. Since he usually either goes for a curse or a teleport and then grab.

So I had a chance to play A LOT of skilled nu players. Looking at one of my matches i had her in the corner and landed a 5d from that point on she was able to win. I can occasionally beat nu players but I am wondering if 2d and 5d are ideal against nu since it allows her to escape. But even if you safely block her attacks close range she use her mach speed to get across the screen. I'm guessing the only time 5d and 2d should be landed is when there is enough magatama's for shippu.

Hey... It is normal for my brain to collapse from watching something so epic. And just to make sure the DISGUSTING combo on litchi was without mugen, and set to only CH the 6c right? Cus i know hakumen does huge damage but to that extent is just...:8/:

Does any one know the timing of countering dead spike the 214a of ragna? Tnx Blade for the timing of countering the second hit of carnage scissor I never manged to get it down packed until you stated the timing of it.

Would anyone recommend 2c on the frog if it is possible since that would put hakumen in a state where his upper body could be protected from and mid level to upper body projectiles. Also due to the pumpkins floating around in the air is it recommended when they are around floating during air dashes to do j2c instead of simply c since it comes out faster and can guard against her pumpkins if she sends them flying at you during your air dashes?

How does she have two bursts I do not recall seeing that in matches nor when I play online. o_O

Does anyone else find the gravitational circle and her ability to move at mach 5 speeds a bit too much to her attack repertoire? I mean is it not enough that she doesnt even need to get close to you to eat you alive? Now she can instantly get across the screen and/or keep you from moving with a gravity circle?
