I do agree. But that's your only choice, really. Ground loop/ Air loop. You can't win if you don't loop. You can't beat a Rachel with Carl unless the Rachel sucks. That's it. She's too floaty for everyone else's own good. Yes, it's retarded, and you can fall back on the loop after burst, but seriously, Carl is straight garbage without it. Don't tell me he isn't. I'm sure it will be gone soon enough, so hopefully ASW buffed him a little. I mean, he has no combos, period. I find if funny that all he has are loops, and people complaincomplaincomplain. "DO Some real combos!" Yeah sure, here let me show you my best one. 5B, 6B, 623, 5B, j.A, j.B, dj.B, Allegretto. -_- Try that combo ftw. Yes, he's almost broken. Better luck next time.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it. I'm probably going to get a 360 stick, just for fun. If I do, and I'm ever playing on one, I'll have to play with you guys! I don't have any Carl friends on psn really. When I record, I just quick match and record however many I can until I'm tired of messing with my computer in between matches. It's weird. I see their D-Card. Then I set my file to Carl vs. (Insert Name Here) based on that. Then I have to record, blah blah. I'm down though. I ALWAYS need critiquing. lol. If you upload a replay, maybe someone else can record it for you? I don't know, just a thought. I infinited a Jin at the Arcade yesterday! (Also just a thought.) :P

You can get it 3 times before they can tech. More or less, depending on error/ weird things happening, etc. 2C-8D-2C-8D-2C-8D will only take you so far, especially when you can add more to it. So yes, get the most out of 2C-8D that you can, but don't let it finish there. If you j.B+C>8D, and they tech the throw, then you dash back in and 2C-8D again. Just the one throw can help get big damage, even when they tech it.

You should, since you're just beginning. Later on, you should learn to turn her off/on in between, just to save meter. I still can't do that though.

It's more like Nirvana's Head/Shoulder level. And you don't catch them on the way up, you catch them on the way down. Watch in these. (For bigger characters, it's different.) I'm referring to Jin/Noel/Arakune/Carl etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKhhM-57PU8&feature=channel_page Watch 1:45 - 3:35

Just treat it as simultaneous, then you can tweak it based on how that's working for you. Just so you know, do a late grab for the second one. (After the airdash.) That way you'll be lower, so your 6A will hit for relaunch.

Thanks 4Corners. Right before you B+C, 8]D[. But it's gotta be like.. within a few frames, it feels like. A very SLIGHT before. You can get away with doing them at the same time, I think. I'm bad with theory with the game not in front of me.

Two of me online in a lag fast with noel last night. (When loops aren't a possibility, be sure that shenanigans sure are.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUGKFUedXvE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9m9l5vwoOo

It takes skill to get the relaunch though. They may just make gravity affect him less after air throw, so he won't make the relaunch. I dunno. I hate doing this... ...yet I can't help it.

I watched a faust infinite video on potemkin. Like hundreds of hits, prorated like whoa. They time lapsed it, and it still took forever to watch.

lol. I go with brown, because at first, my tv showed it as orange.. But I soon realized that wasn't the case. And about that j.A guard string. Say goodbye to your barrier/libra if you get stuck in that.. (After about 20 reps.)

BTW Kyle, we main the same color Carl. And we're both named Kyle, if that's your real name. Weird, huh? (I also sub the Christmas time Carl outfit. It's very rare, but after so many mistakes trying to pick my color, I finally decided not to let it bother me. Every once in a while, I even pick it on purpose!)

1 Relaunch, + 2 Rapids. I can deal with that. I've also thought about them changing his j.B+C. I see that as a real possibility. (Again, pure speculation, as I've spent quite a bit of time thinking of which route ASW would take to "fix" this "brokenness.")

If my loops are gone, my lulz are gone. So I move to maining that other semi cool looking chick. :] Or inventing new loops with Carl.

Projectile replaces Clap. :X (Dangerous Speculation.)

I saw that! I was like fuckkkkkk. haha. I bet he was pissed, another tourney down the drain. :] Lol, interesting. I've never thought of comparing Carl to Zangief, probably for obvious reasons. ..But that's seriously one of the best BB -> SF comparisons I've ever heard.

AutonomousR update 1 hour ago!

I'm prettu sure 2A scales your damage quite a bit, but any damage out of pressure is good damage, esp with a reset->any loop. I don't know about her other drive attacks. I'm sure quite a few are punishable on block. The one that comes to mind first would be her flash kick.

RC maybe? How can she cancel it into something else? (Besides DD.) <-- I've eaten that a couple times, if I'm not mistaken. Command grab? I don't know... If you're going for CH 2A, that won't hit you anyway.

The spinning gun drive is very punishable on block. Might I recommend (Instead of 5B): - 2A, 2B, 3C, IAD AlleCan Summon, Throw loop. (Once you learn the set up.) - 2A, 2B, 3C, Summon-vivace A-2B, 2C, Clap loop. (I don't know the particulars on when this works, but sometimes I get it. It helps to use this if the IAD summon is a little too hard. You get the same effect.) And if your heart is set on 5B, then: - 5B, 6B, 623C, Summon, 9B+C, walk nirvana closer behind you, 8D (hits after your throw springs them up,) Vivace A, 2C, clap loop. Basically, counter what you can, but make the most of it. Yeah, 5B works. You can 5B, 6B, Summon-IAD allecan crossup- 5B, 6B, 6D-> Punch loop. But that's impractical at that time, I would think. And you could 5B, 6B, 623C, 5B, j.A, j.B, dj.B, Allegretto, but why take that little damage when you could have a loop off of the counter? I dunno. Try some of this out, it might help you.

Invincibility frames. She goes through a lot of stuff. That's why I told you to backdash the drives and 5C->6D. XD.

Quoted for Truth. It's crazy to watch him play now, esp against any and all kunes.

I've eaten spark bolt, thinking 632146C does. Think again. Unless it went through my start up, but it's happened to me multiple times. I may even have it in a video.

I've wanted someone to record offline matches of mine.. for critique. Online is fun for laughs, but ehh. See you guys sunday.

^ Never let it become a full screen battle. If you let it come down to that, shake hands and GG.
