Really? I find that doing j2c is pretty effective on her except in cases where she does an attack called "revolver blast" or something of that nature then either i try a counter or j214b (renka) to get her.

Is it possible to pull off a counter 90% of the time as Bang's d's are coming and you hit him during the auto block. I have been able to occasionally been able to pull a counter before the "calligraphy" hit comes, including in the air after the jD auto guards against a j2C.

Wow reading here has really helped against my litchi play while my victories are relatively close I can still come out on top. Compared to how I used to lose all the time and BOTH rounds. So patience is truly the key to this matchup. I am still having difficulty in incorperating 6a into my gameplay though since I rarely land it and rely more on either 2c which allows for an aerial 2c while the attack is much slow than 6a. Does anyone have for when both litchi and haku-men have a sliver of life left? Those are the most difficult times since they can continuously fire their staff at me and I have nothing to use against them except form what i see air dash which potentially leads to me being killed in the end.

The only problem I have with this matchup is which move I should use in the air while dashing since I am usually countered with any form of jC or j2c. Other than that carl's grab loop isnt much to worry about for hakumen since he has so much health the loop tends not to do very much damage to me and while its taking place I find the best thing to do is try your best to recover since there are rare occurrences where you can without being hit by the clap. During the entire clap-grab loop he as it is called will eventually have to grab you break free and in about one or two grab breaks you're outta the loop with quite a few magatama to bring some whoop ass on him since he has barely any health.

I find this match up goes much easier if you are more on the offensive than defensive. NOt necessarily blindly swinging you massive sword around like Zaraki Kenpachi from Bleach but simply not jsut waiting for arakune to attack you. The best time to be defensive is when you are cursed which is THE most difficult thing since you have to simultaneously pay attention to both the entire screen as to watch out for bees and watch where arakune is going and where you are in case of a grab, I personally have won more matches against arakune being cautiously aggressive from the get go n then trap him in the corner and molest him without remorse. While he is low to the ground enough for haku-men to approach him from the air I find 2c to be the msot effective since it most likely lands a counter hit allowing him to be sent into the corner for the molestation to begin until he somehow finds a way to teleport. I have a cousin who uses arakune so this match up is much easier for me than those who dont have someone regular to play against. Which is why I wish I knew someone who uses Nu so I can build experience against her since matches against skilled Nu' last roughly 30 seconds with me landing one combo on them.

Wow this is bad, some of our members are trapped in the boundary. Someone should report our haku-men staff shortage or contact kokonoe to get them out =/.

I personally find this match the most in haku-men's favor as stated earlier as long as you keep counter attempts to a minimal its in your adantage. From what I have seen on youtube haku-men's tend to lost because they try too much to counter haku-men. I usually just air dash with 2c and go into moves such as gurren and renka and keep attempts with kishuu/enma to a minimal especially when it is in an attempt to grab it will only lead to fail. Haku-men's sword is your best friend in this fight in my opinion. The only problem I have seen and experienced is tager's spark bolt which comes out so fast that you cant seen cut through it since even if you block you you're magnetized. But that can all be solved with watching tager's magnetizing meter since it requires 100% to be fired.
