It says "I'm going to do my best and become a Ramlethal user. Rest well, Millia!"

It begins.

*sigh* How on earth can you guys talk about tier placement on a new character on day 1? What the... hell. Anyway, it seems like a good number of japanese players want to pick her up. Daiji is dropping Millia to use her, apparently.

What would be considered the optimal disc range? I noticed that sometimes off 2D>roll oki in certain matchups the opponent might comfortably grab or even backdash away (happened against I-No). It almost feels like a "forced" choice to do TK Badmoon or TK Turbofall. I know I am probably doing something wrong though. That's also the reason why I was beginning to think of a way to get the opponent to fall face up off 2D>ender combos, so that I could possibly a gain even a small frame advantage to set up the disc earlier as I can.

Bedman seems to be hardly popular, and I guess Ramlethal's just going to make him even less popular. There's a good number of japanese players who are definetely going to give her a try. I recall Tsujikawa mentioning on twitter time ago that he might consider using her if she ends up being fun/good.

@ElvenShadow was there any good Millia at the tournament? It's kind of sad that Nakamura still hasn't picked up the game seriously.

Y'know, I've been wondering... wouldn't 5S 5H 2D 214S roll be a better ground combo than just 52 5H 2D roll? Provided that the opponent is within range to be hit by Lust Shaker of course. The reason why I was thinking of this is to have the opponent fall face up rather than face down...

I've semi-quit BB but I'll still try to be there atleast to provide any possible help for the organization and whatnot.

So her hitbox during the running animation has remained the same (being able to go under a lot of pokes and moves). Good! On a side note, there's finally some good usage of PRC in the latest Neverland 2 vids: Secret Garden PRC looks pretty nice, not only it seems like it could make the move "safe" when done fullscreen, but on paper it looks potentially good for midscreen oki too. I can't wait to see more players use this setup more often. Oh and disc oki>TK Turbofall still works wonders. :O

Hitbox nerf to her c.S would suck quite a bit. I love that move, jump cancelable, can work as quasi-antiair too... I really hope its hurtbox didn't get too big.

Thanks for the advice! Honestly I noticed I tend to rely a little too much on 2K rather than using f.S. I guess it's because I like 2K's speed, but it's clear it just doesn't work well as a poke, specially against Faust. As for antiairing him on the ground, I found 6P to be "ok" but there's still the issue of his j2K kind of making him float too much and messing my timing pretty often. The other annoying thing is how that stupid move may crossup turning my 6P into a 5P. Rising jK has been more productive though as you said the hardest part is converting those antiair hitconfirms into good combos because his hurtbox is weird and even if I jK>jP>jK JC jK jH it will sometimes whiff at the end before the jH because of the distance. :V I was also thinking: what about "full screen" Secret Garden to keep him honest? It's true he could still use the scalpel move but it's nothing too scary, and I guess that would make the neutral approach a bit less bothersome when he's throwing items/bombs...?

Probably just missed the hitconfirm. It's true that it's possible to buffer S Tandem anyway, if it has remained the same as in +R (meaning it's -1 on block) having enough pushback to make it somewhat safe in a lot of situations/matchups. Still I guess a lot of players prefer to hitconfirm/check 6K before doing S Tandem.

Been playing this matchup a lot lately and I'm having trouble against Faust's 2K, since it's really fast and has a nice hitbox too. Is pin the only way to shut that move down? Since Faust's 2K recovers so fast I'm having a hard time punishing it or even poking him out of it.

@BladeOfJustice7 Actually Sol can DP out of Millia's H disc in AC/ACPR too in certain situations. The matchup used to be fairly "even" in AC/ACPR. What's hurting Millia in Xrd against Sol is likely the fact that besides not having FB Pretty Maze, she has trouble setting up Secret Garden oki because of the changes to her pin's speed. And because of the pin being slower she has more trouble getting in, given that Sol's normals are still damn good. Of course she can YRC her H disc to mess the opponent's DP input but it's not like she can always rely on that. She can hard bait it of course, but that's not the biggest issue but rather the fact that Sol only needs one good hit to turn the tides while Millia has to work harder and can still lose despite that. Anyway Eki-chan's biggest regret was that with no solid Secret Garden setups it's hard to keep momentum against characters like Sol or Ky. It's also true though that other players have been working on ways to get decent Secret Garden oki (it's also one the things that seems to have reignited Nakamura's interest in Xrd, lol), so who knows, things might change within the next months and the matchup might suddenly not look so bad for Millia as Eki-chan depicts it. There's Daiji who's been constantly having live NicoNico streams where he's analyzing his own vids, discussing Millia's strategies and possibly new combos. You can already see him trying to set up Secret Garden oki in one of his most recent vids if I am not wrong (the Port24 Issha ones).
