Both Valkenhayn and Ragna say he's human, but he's wayyy too strong to be considered one. Which is why I assume he's genetically altered. I mean this is the same org that allows one of their lead scientists to retain nuclear weapons and have done questionable things in the past. Genetically altering a human for their own ends wouldn't surprise me. It's not normal for someone to be able to flip the ground like it's a lightweight table.

^This. We need gordeau's theme, I hope this same person rips his next. Followed by Seth's theme.

They don't commit genocides though. And they're just fanboys, that's all. Both his Astral and the removal of his dragonuv level 2, his tatoos disappeared. And yea I noticed that in his victory pose. Genocide=villain in my books.

Yakuza chest kick (5c?) into super for an unblockable?

FUCKING.AWESOME.ENDING. I love how he's just after the 6 Heroes and Ragna for the hell of it. I'm classifying him as a villain now. Yes. I want the same thing. I heard Jin say "genocide" when listing all the crimes that Azrael committed. It seems to me he gets overly excited in combat and gets carried away doing more harm than good. Typically, when you see him fight most of the cast he's aloof, but when he's fighting the "stronger" cast members you coudl see how his attitude becomes antagonistic, aggressive, and excited. Yup, straight forward, awesome music, lots of aggressive tension, excessive violence, and yelling. And it really showed us what type of person Azrael is. Precisely lol. It sounded like he has more than 2 levels of limiters, and more like 10 or something. Correct me if I'm wrong there. Once again, am I the only one that gets a feeling he's not really human. And more like genetically engineered by S7 or something. Valkenhayn and Ragna both commented that he's wayy to physically strong to be human. And to have superhuman strength for no reason, along with that Growler aura, is not "normal".

I'm bad at math so whatever you say I'll assume you're right :/ it looks like it honestly depends on the spacing/timing and the character. I doubt it'll beat Rachel's AA for instance which can be mashed and I'm guessing still hits behind her in CP, not to mention it has autoguard on it. In many cases where you see a iad>agito is because it crossed up and managed to get behind the AA of certain characters, causing a CH. But I saw a match where Ragna was able to 6a is. So all in all I think it depends on the things I listed above, though crossing them up is usually the determinant in catching people with agito. it seems to be a strong tool in opening people up at least for now no? And this could mean less dependency on jb, and jb crossups.

I wouldn't consider that a real threat yet, until people figure out resets with it. Ahhh the kick to the chest x n correct? I really wanna see his damage potential the most, I'm drawn to hard hitters for some reason :3 My bad about the esp thing lol. I have 2 questions how exactly does growler work? I saw it had some of those invincibility oval things appear when a projectile was used on him on wakeup, and I know it has a guard point on projectiles but can absorb up to 3 of them and shoot back a fire ball after absorbing at least one projectile right? Still not too clear on the whole thing. It also has autoguard on start up correct, effectively giving him some sort of reversal on wakeup. And what's the deal with that shoulder tackle that looks like Hakumens 6a? I saw it blow through like everything, is it his AA as well?

Espaz seems to be doing a good job of figuring this guy out. Already has anti rolling tech mdiscreen. Is having 2 weakpoints really THAT bad? After I see people get 2 they usually play very passive and resort to zoning (if they can), once he's placed 2 weakpoints on them.

Yes, it's been basically like that since CT lol, I'm referring to following up tsubaki with a normal into "stuff", I don't like hearing I need at least 5 stars to combo off tsubaki, yes it does immense damage, but being able to combo off your overheads makes them even more dangerous. Fair enough.

it was so bad of a power up that they decided to leave it in lol. In exchange for not bursting and being low on health, you basically have 15 seconds or so of unrelenting justice. Does Bullet have any tick command grab setups, I know she has an ordinary command grab reversal that she can't combo off of without meter.

Is 5a still air unblockable? It honestly makes sense of Hakumen to still retain some semblance of his csex self since it's the first time he was actually good and had 5/5 matchups with zoners. Unlike pretty much every other version of the game lol.

Why are you lying when you say that? You KNOW he's not OP -__- Anyways as for "tiers" he hasn't looked that strong to me in my eyes yet, at least not until people figure out how to manage his stars and his damage. I LOVE how we can't combo off any of our overheads (tsubaki, 6b). <_<

A good portion of useful videos have been uploaded onto youtube, mostly by Abelcru.

It's hard to combo off of it (for now), that's why. Interesting. I'm so hype for the matchup it's unbelievable. Wow that was fast...

Does this thread even still have a purpose at this point circ?

I'm still not feeling his combo system, it's like he just has a butt load of magatama for random specials into either meagre damage for meagre oki (usually). I've yet to see a glimpse of full fledged combos from Hakumen players. Hoping guys like Chin and A92 figure something out. I really am not feeling his gameplay, but he looks like he has a lot of fun tools. Just not feeling his gameplan as compared to CSEX, yet. And yes, I don't understand why they had tear 6d a new ass, now people can just give even less fucks when up close against Hakumen, when pressuring him. It's the one thing that still bothers me, the rest is fine, and I'm sure it'll sort itself out. But not fucking 6d.

That's pretty much what I had in mind, it's only useful in 2 matchups, the other is v.s Carl and to a lesser extent, his dad. But that's about it.

Some good matches are out, today. You guys should check them out I'll add them when I get the time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8nlvaWwhlE&feature=g-all-u This is the video they were referring to on nico douga. mAc, it also has his OD yukikaze for all to see. Look s violent as fuck to get killed by it lol. I fucking love this guy, good thing I love CSEX still to keep me occupied. Doesn't Shippu during OD look like Touga Hyoujin from jin? His Ice wave super that is.

Nolan I always count to a second or so before I go for an airdash. Just takes a lot of getting used to.

4C FEINT IS FUCKING SEXY!!

@moy, she was prayer on her knees before.

I CAN do them, but they're a lot harder than they look. So I don't use them, I have gold burst combos that use them. But Rachel's aerial hitbox is too wonky for me to try swag combos of any sort. Btw yes, dropping combos is what's hurting you the most right now. it's usually when you have to airdash that you drop your combos.

GGs Jon and everyone else I played against. Next time we have a MontrealxToronto event, we need Brian and Gilbert on the mic when I'm playing. For PURE.BIASED.COMMENTATING.HECKLING. against me. Shoutouts to kirbster for being a scrub and forgetting his pad. Shoutouts to me for being even scrubbier and forgetting my stick in my locker.

Also add straight forward drive as a pro, and you forgot to mention how strong his dashes are.
