Apparently it's true. Really sad indeed. That also explains why there were no videos of Zaki coming out lately...

It works on Tao, Tager, Hakumen and Arakune as well. Just saying that I've managed to do a triple 4D after doing 5C, instead of 2C > double 4D. Also works on Jayoku combos.

I don't know if it has been found out, but when I was practicing character specific combos on Rachel, I've managed to do 5C > 4D~A x2 > 4D~D > j214B# after j6D~D connected. Timing is actually pretty easy and it does a little bit more damage than the 2C > 4D~A > 4D~D > j214B# variation.

Mizuchi Rekkazan is really good in this matchup, it seems. Whenever you see them charging 214D up, it's possible to punish with it. Actually, I thought 632146C was a really crappy DD at first, but it's a pretty good projectile punisher.

I don't know if I've faced enough Mu-12's to contribute to this thread, but anyways... it seems that Hazama should be patient and wait for the lasers to worn out while avoiding Mu herself. Not sure, but I think the lasers sort of lock on as soon as they are deployed and then they fire, which means you should be constantly moving around. Then again, I might be wrong. Once you find an opening, do your best to close the distance and apply pressure. It would also be wise to avoid her pressure by keeping the right distance, but when it (eventually) happens, be careful with that tricky overhead. Other than that, just take your time and try to end the match as quick as possible.

Well yeah, that's what I've been doing, but it becomes predictable once you know the exact blockstring the training dummy is gonna use.

If you aren't very far away, you can punish it with Jayoku for a Fatal Counter. There's no need to IB either, just be sure you're quick enough.

Is there a good way to practice IB > Jayoku offline? I mean, it's pretty easy to do when you're sure your IB is going to come out next time the opponent hits you, but it's definitely not like that against other players. Or is there actually a decent window of time in between IBing and Jayoku, so you have time to confirm that you've IB'd?

There's only one person I can play without lag at the moment, so yeah... you guys really shouldn't be complaining Just kidding. I'm pretty sure Aksys has said something about boosting up the ranked match speed when Makoto comes out. Also, waiting for the intro helps with sync. It really pisses me off that every damn person I face online skips it.

Yeah, the same happened to me. But once they were so close to the ground that I thought "wtf, what if I close in?". To my surprise, j2C actually hit them and I thought I should share it with you guys.

Okay... I think I've found out a new combo, or at least the beginning of one. It is possible to do 236236B > backdash > 5D~D > j2C (while they're still in the air REALLY close to the ground) > 5C > etc. I'm pretty sure I managed to do 236236B > 5D~D > j2C > 5C > JC > jC x5 > 2C > 4D~D > j214B#. Damage is quite good and it builds some meter. But I believe it can have o lot more potential than that. If someone's willing to play around with it...

There are some pretty nice corner combos in that 10 min japanese tutorial, including the crossups with 5B and whatnot. It's worth watching.

Really? They're my favourite combos with Hazama, lol. I just love doing them, maybe that's why it's so easy to me. They just come naturally.

What would be the best 100% heat combo when out of the corner? Personaly, I find 236236B > 44 > 6D~A (or j8D~A) > 623D > 66 > 3C > 236236B > 214D~C > 5C > 2C > 4D~A > 4D~D > j214B# to be the easiest to execute and it actually does pretty nice damage. The only problem is that Jayoku whiffs sometimes after 3C when I'm facing a character such as Carl or Noel. Does it have anything to do with Jakou's height or should I just practice 236236B > 6D~A x3 > etc?
