Oh. I assumed the:psyduck: was a "You're a doofus" visual, like the Awesome face on a certain board which shall not be named. (And with a win rate consistently under 50%, let's certainly not rule out me being terrible at fighting games.) But seriously... when I think about it, every time I took home one round of a three-round match against Nu, it involved me tripping her up with 3C and cursing off of an instant j.D when the player guessed wrong on wakeup directions. I should probably set a training dummy to random recovery and practice choosing my anti-wakeup options on reflex, so as to not instantly lose my close-in position by taking a stupid hit into Nu's C arsenal.

I play Hakumen occasionally. That's a big occasionally, though; I bust out the bees almost every match. Haku-bro is fun stuff, though. And the absolute bane of predictable people who don't have "v-13" on their health bar.

...Yes, we all know I'm a terrible player. That just happens to be something that's useful to know against other terrible players who main Nu.

I've learned many things about this matchup in my many losses (and one win), and one of them is that j.6whatever->j.2A, at the right height and from the right distance, goes right through a tiny hole in v-13's dominating screen coverage. Of course, if they're paying attention they can punish, but v can punish anything. Also, if they use 5C spam to repel you, the max distance you end up at happens to be the hitting distance of Arakune's 3C. Hey, it had to be useful somewhere.
