I lost count on how many perfects those Noel's got in those two vids.

Sadly, this might be the only option. Drive literally beats almost all of Noel's normals (and some drive moves to boot).

6A>6B>6C>haida = wtf

Going in a bit.

Ty for the previous replies. Some more questions. I've been fighting a couple of Chipp's lately and most, if not all, have no trouble destroying me. So far this is what I'm facing against and what I'm doing about it: -I find myself toe-to-toe with them ALOT while being unable to zone them out. -If I try to go on the offense, his moves are somehow outprioritizing mine. (This is my fault for lack of knowledge) -I've started limiting use of 6S as I hate the recovery on it. And that's it.....is there anything else I can do against this speed freak? EDIT: Whooops, sorry. Did not see that there was a Bridget Match-up thread already up.

Sad faced about Blazblue cancellation. On a lighter note, Arcana Heart 3 was surprisingly easier to pick up than I imagined it would be.

I'm noticing that during my matches where I am completely on the defensive (from being knocked down to just flat-out blocking), I have no answer to their offense except Starship (and that can only get me so far) and some not so perfect Rollings if i have a yoyo out. I'm just wondering is there anything else I can do to escape pressure aside from what I'm currently using?

Do you think there's still a possibility of follow-up from mid-screen with RC?

Can't wait to learn that AH3.

Is most of the Noel stigma in CS2 mostly coming from her CH 2D? Using 2D still requires you to use a brain to read the opponent correctly seeing as how it's still a high risk move and easily punished if used incorrectly.

Id_ posted about maybe 10 pages ago that next tourney might be set for January 23rd. I don't know if that's guaranteed or not.

Is that really a Haida loop using only 22B?

VERY VERY VERY late post, but gg's Soniti and others from last Thursday. Also, Arcana Heart 3 is being added to the tournaments now? If so, cool. I always wanted to learn how to play that game, even though I have heard horror stories on its steep learning curve.

I might go this Thursday. I could use more BB/GG training.

I just noticed in the Noel vs. Platinum match that 5B seems to have a sound effect change when hit (0:45). Was there anything changed with 5B?

After watching the red Noel in those vids, I am both excited yet intimidated with the new Noel. I mean seeing the buffs she recieved in action is nice, but after witnessing so many variations of her blockstrings and combos, I am having a hard time keeping up.

I'm a noob then. I use 22B mash whenever my opponent is at his/her last vestiges of hp.

Being bored as hell at home, guess I can go.

With these changes, the likelyhood of top tier Noel existing has reached dangerous levels. I'm going to prepare myself for lots of "Equillibrium" fights in the future.

I can't continue training anymore. It's a good thing that somewhere inside me I expected this to happen, but I couldn't help but be hopeful.

For my experience, neutral air tech is the only air tech you should do should you find yourself launched in the air. Air teching left or right is a free Atomic Collider especially when magnetised since it leaves you in the air longer.

Couple of questions for the next time I practice at the arcade. For short hitboxes like Carl and Rachel, will delaying j.D in a normal j.D>6D combo be enough to prevent 6D from whiffing afterwards or is super jumping an absolute must? After a succesful 6A>6C to an airborne opponent I still have trouble landing a j.D afterwards, so will 5D work as an alternative?

Hi, I was wondering if there's an arcade with a bbcs machine in the Vegas area. I'm here for the weekend and would like to have some games in and maybe meet some people there.
