Prototype-03

Wish I could've join you guys for the tourney... Maybe next time =/ Anyway... What happened to all the Tsubaki players? =(

Inoue has been the best but I haven't seen any vids by him lately. Kaqn has been getting better and there's a new player (Ten?) who has been pretty good as well.

5B is her longest range move, but the problem is if you hit it from max distance, it wont connect. You could connect if you counter hit and do a 6CC or you can keep pressure by using 5b, charge canceling and dash in for more pressure. Her SRK is pretty much known to be the worst one in the game... her D version is the only one with full invincibility and the B version has invincibility BEFORE the active frames. I don't know why you would like to compare those specific players, but she's about even with Jin, bad against Litchi and Ragna. Her 2C is REALLY good as an anti air because it has upper body invincibility. You would want to use it as 2C, dash, 5B, 2CC to air combo on counter hit. 2CC by itself isn't too good. Her BnB works on everyone... Her only specific combo is the 3C, jC combo. Her mugen combo is still in works, I believe... Dead angle is the counter move that you do for 50% heat. While blocking, press 6A+B and it should do a counter move. I feel like these questions could have easily been answered if you checked out her combo and beginner thread...

Have a date =(

Went to Denjin Arcade in Simi Valley again. They are still "thinking about it" so I suggest anyone who is near there to go there and ask for it =)

That's what I did when you ASTRAL FINISHED ME, YOU JERK.

I've actually used the DP to get out of blockstrings before. You could also use the D version, which I believe has invincibility frames.

Does anyone have any news on Denjin Arcade? I won't be back there for about 2 weeks so I was wondering if they have any updates on it.

I haven't really played a lot of Bangs, but I've played a few Ragnas. The problem is that Tsubaki is pretty much a Ragna v2 that is just not as good. They both have weak defense and are both rushdown characters which have similar moves (charging forward special, DPs, the air to ground special)... It's just that he outprioritizes her and his combos do more damage without charges. The game really revolves around baiting and confusing the opponent by charge cancelling at different times. You really want Ragna to try to block as much as possible... Once you bait DPs couple of times, he'll think twice before trying to mash that (just be careful if he has heat... The RCs can really get you). I also found that Ragnas like to jump a lot (especially the ones who I've played), so the 2C really helps... And once they're grounded, it'll be easier to blockstring him. Likewise, if the Ragna knows how to 6A, you'll be grounded as well. RCs and CCs are really your friends in this matchup.

Tager matchup is one of the few matchups that I usually play with distance, ESPECIALLY if I'm magnetized. I also play it VERY safe since one of his throws or combos usually means 3k damage. So instead of charge canceling and going back in, I usually back off and see what the Tager does. If he always does grab, then I keep backing off until he does something else. I've lost to a Tager who was churning butter ALL day because a lot of times, I'd either run back in there or whiff the second hit of 5BB. I haven't really had a lot of Tagers try the sledge trap on me, but what I usually ended up doing is wait for the grab and tick throw to reset.

WTF IS BRETT? Anyway, I'd say the 17th... 3 day weekend!

17 TheSadder (Brett) <--- Hazama/Hakumen

I've asked the guys at Denjin Arcade if they are getting it... He said that they MIGHT get it and if they do, it'll probably be sometime next month. He didn't even know it was out yet... anyone who goes there should ask for it!

GGs guys... I really need to stop sucking and learn Tsubaki
