Letting it go back to 5 would make it 6523. Not sure if that would be good. Better to just do 623. But the rest of the advice is good. I used to think of it as making a "Z" motion when I was first getting the hang of it.

Could replace old moves.

Oh, so she's not a zoner?

Trying to catch Rachel is more intense than getting Lambda in some ways. You have to be after her 24/7, she'll be winding back and backdashing and jumping up and away and onto the other side of the screen all over the place, and it'll go down all the way to the timer half the timer. What makes it peskier is half the combos don't work on her hitbox and same with oki techniques. She just pops out and winds off. If you can void the lobelias you'll be in good shape, but good Rachels will alter their trajectory and timing to fuck with your counters. Her j.A is pretty much unblockable. You can block all of her stuff but eventually she'll sneak one of those in. Luckily it does only 1.5k or so, but with 50 heat she can make it around 3k. (Well, I usually block the first few, but then she always jump cancels again when it looks like it's over and does it again and that always gets me.) Cat chair clashes or makes Hotaru whiff. Be careful with that. 6A is still a pain in the ass too. I'll IAD over her trying to crossup with j.B, and it'll hit me even though I'm behind her. :3 I have a lot of fun in this matchup though.

Nothing in ranked can ever really tell the truth about your skill. Win percentage. Sure, a high win ratio is good... but who are you winning against? If you play nothing but scrubs all day and your win percentage is 80% then it's not a big deal. But if you play Spark all day and it's 30% then it's not bad. So one person's lower percentage can mean more than someone else's higher. My friend is pretty good, but the only person he ever plays in his 2000 games of BB is me, and I just stomp him into the ground every time. Our last set, we went 81-3, me. He never gets tired or gives up though. But if he played other people he would do pretty good.

drive is OP plz nerf

too late; already read

> pillow fighter wtf whats that mean EDIT: wait playing the game is boring -> snoozefest -> AHA Anyway I agree with everything you're saying. Especially the dynamic characters and differences in style was one of BB's original selling points. And damagewise, it could be fine balancewise being low with the way they're setting it up -- but I want Hakumen's damage to be high just because of how the character is supposed to feel. If everybody did 1k and it was perfectly balanced I wouldn't really like that since Hakumen is supposed to be a bruiser.

I don't wait for my stars to fill up anymore. I just move in on them when they give me space in neutral and do what damage I can. It adds up. 3C, they fall, then I hop over and 6B, they fall, then I throw and by then I have some stars, etc.

I could see him doing a headbutt style move, it's not that different than his 6A, but just not as a command grab. Maybe as his normal throw animation or something if it was supposed to stagger only.

Are any of you going to Summer Jam?

See Godlike Assault's avatar.

Not that I have Persona, but just curious. How would you punish a kind of combo. It's not like you can control what they do once they start their combo. Unless they're just mashing desperately to try and land a hit.

Yup. Just good for ambushing people with level 1 stats.

They should just use whatever system they use for Halo. It always worked fine. Although I recall from my Halo days that people thought the rank on that didn't mean as much either.

Blade = Kishuu xN Well, it only got the projectile invincibility in Extend I think, so it's not like we haven't lived without it before.

Isn't that just how the level system is. But then people would say it doesn't mean anything and just rewards people who grind all day.

Awesome breakdown of his pressure. I agree with Steel Coil on the aesthetics part. Although when you first mentioned his command grab to help his non-star pressure I was imagining that it would be meterless. As for the changes, if there's player feedback that they listen to, maybe there's some Hakumen players there that would fill them in on their opinion.

But, you're not getting punished for making the right guess. You're making the wrong guess. :P

Getting guard broken means you're letting them get away with too much on offense. It means you need to start poking out sooner. Throws are way more obvious than instant overheads. Everything stops while two giant exclamation points show up.

I hated what they did to Hakumen's voice in Extend. It sounded like someone fell asleep while messing with the sounds. I always liked whoever played Hazama in CT. He sounded calm and enigmatic, but his ghost form sounded pretty troll.

What's wrong with TRM. I always liked the throw mind games it brought in.

Whoa, you're alive. Yeah, that's the way I liked the story too. I'm guessing it'll be more True End style, where you play a different character based on whose doing what at the time.

I just play same as always, unless it's too laggy, in which case I probably just won't play. But I mean, if you're playing you want to get better, so if you don't play like it's a normal match you won't get as much out of it. Also what cheap Hakumen only tactics. :P I must add these to my scumbag repertoire.
