I know you don't hit me with 2d, I always end up blocking it, I've never hit you out of 2d, too risky

lol I fight Axis irl quite often, he's gonna give you the same advice, maybe a bit more detailed.

The Arakune actually wasn't that bad. His precurse game was pretty solid if not overly cautious, his main issues were execution in curse and loop set ups. You mash too much in curse, that's a time to block and be patient, if you need Ara off your ass, use a counter assault, if you were playing a better Arakune, those risky grab/360 attempts would have gotten you killed. I also noticed you didn't actually do any real combos vs Arakune, it also helps to read his back dash, use 2d more to catch them, a magnetized Arakune is a scared one. Work on that hit confirm, you got a CH 5d and did nothing with it.

Yo damn, Dacid, I don't even post in this thread, why you getting salty at me? Arakune can backdash his own poor ground to ground pressure, so that mitigates any worry of getting caught in a 100% mix up. Arakune mirrors handle the exact same in CS as they did in CT, it's all air footsies and mutual zoning until someone gets cursed, not mix ups. It's not sporadic at all, unless both of them are cursed.

I don't want to impose on super high level pro jp onry SBO winning ideals, but when changing the fundamentals to better suit an even match up, like a mirror, it goes without saying that both characters will need to make that adjustment, since this character is very good at capitalizing on their own weaknesses, similar to Tager mirrors where Tager can easily Anti air another Tager. The factors that come in here, that being luck, gimmicks, etc etc, are not dependent, crucial, nor exclusive to the match up, the main detail about match ups are character traits and strategies, things like gimmicks, ticks, yomi, buppa, etc are player factors, independent from match ups. If Hima loses in Arakune mirrors, that means that Hima is bad at Arakune mirrors and doesn't know how to approach the match up, not that the match up is 7-3 or something like that, Hima would have to consider a change in strategy and approach, work on his footsies, etc. It may be a tedious up hill fight, but it's like that for both players, at perfect play. And match ups assumes perfect play, or at the very least that the players in question are of equal skill with their respective characters. The trick with mirrors is to understand how well can Ragna capitalize on Ragna's weaknesses, being average mix up, easy to DP/barrier block strings, low health, etc. With that is mind, it's natural, like any match up, to assume a specific strategy. Gimmicks, luck and all that are considered after the fact, and by the player, not the character. I'll admit that I understand the concept that Jin vs Jin will feel and play out differently than say.....Jin vs Lambda, but that's in the same respect that Jin vs Bang will feel and play out differently than Jin vs Ragna. Different character to fight, different strategies applied, and similarly, if you don't know the match up, you're gonna lose. That's just my view on things. *strolls off*

Shout outs to Team Four Star. This thread should be renamed to "BB:CS Get a Good Quote to Sig".

sigged.

What about me?

Outstanding showcase of damage variation and godlike resets, yeah, it deserves the whole word, Godlike. It's bug control like that that we all need to master. If it hasn't been already, I'm personally YTing this. Both vids added to OP

You can always leave that to Circuitous, I know a few people he would approve in a heartbeat. These same people could make one.

I can't wait to spread some coconuts on everyone.

Well, it's only an experiment, keep that in mind.

Blade trolling aside, you can use this system, but only if you disable any and all points awarded for simply posting, if at all possible.

If you know me in person, you'd see that I am a hilariously random motherfucker.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12609899 Good shit, we all need to take notes on this guy, he has by far the most solid precurse game I've ever seen. I think he's Souji. For those who don't know how to use Nico Nico, copy and paste the above link in here (or wait until it inevitably gets YT'd)

Your name is spelled wrong in katakana.

We don't know for sure if 5b gatlings into our new 6b.

You're biggest issue seems to be reaction time and patience.

Canadian. Unsanctifier?

One of your boys is heading to a ranbat of ours (MI) on the 6th, be sure to root for him.
