It's not that he's defensive, per se, but hard to attack. Plus you need stars for a good offense.

I'll still be around. It only makes me scummier when I win.

Yeah that's pretty much how I look at it. I don't think of each sequel as automatically obsoleting every game before it, but just seeing it as another separate game out there. For instance, I always liked Soul Calibur 2 and not really any of the later ones. Same with SF2. Why should I move onto the next version just because it came out if the older version is more fun or better. This was easier in the pre-internet days, when your community was right there, and you didn't have to depend on moving with the online crowd or getting left behind. lol I wasn't sure if anyone understood what I was getting at with that.

I played Hakumen before he was handicapped.

^Calamity Trigger > Continuum Shift 1.

People have short attention spans.

Just throwing in a fully charged 6C on top of whatever combo you normally use is enough to add an extra 2k or so. But I don't think anyone has listed an optimal guard crush combo. At least yet. Probably just 6C full charge > 5C > Renka(1) > Kishuu > the usual combo. Anyone got any off the top of their heads?

Nope. You can't cancel a hop until the 8th frame or so. For a TK though it's just the jump startup. j.B works as a rising overhead. But if you're going to count those we should probably count instant overheads that Litchi and some others can do.

I liked when your 236C got countered, then you immediately did it again as if to confirm that it got countered on purpose. I could just see you thinking it. As for the 3C it felt like I got the farthest tip of it, so maybe that doesn't happen until the middle. I assumed it was the very beginning.

So uh, I'm fighting Toan, and I just 6D'd Lambda's 3C. wat

Wait. Hazama 6A on block is -5. I'm guessing you punish the blocked Jayouku but why would they even go into it then. :P scrub'd I guess it must be hard to confirm so they just do it anyway.

Different people, different reflexes.

It looks so similar to all her other moves though. It's not as distinctive as the other overheads. Like Jin, he twirls his sword, and Bang stands there for like an hour and raises up his fist, when he doesn't do that for any other move. But for Makoto by the time I realized it's even 6B I'm already hit.

Those are all easy to spot. (I still get hit though.) It's Makoto's 6B that's the worst.

I can't really win on that front. My friends know I'm good, so if I go easy on them, some of them get mad, but if I beat them, they get mad.

it needs more hakumen plates

Oh right. I saw that in the frame data but didn't know what to believe. So fast. :P

I'm pretty sure SF4 has it.

Jin's 6A is 19 frames though.

Jin 6A? Man, I used to know all this stuff off the top of my head. Wow, Bang's 5C is faster. 18 frames. It always seems so much slower.

But then I won't get to hear the announcer say HAKMEN 80 times at the character select screen.

You need to make your plate LMBDA11.

I had to move to Virginia for my job after college, and they make you change your license plate. I was just going to get random numbers, but when I got there they offered a custom plate. So I tried HAKU MEN and it worked. When my friend saw it the first time when he was driving behind me he almost crashed in his excitement to get his cell phone out and call me about how awesome it was. Everybody else is like "Who are these Haku men" like it's a group of guys.

Yup. White car + Hakuplate

I can't believe I forgot to put this out there after all this time.
