Noo, you quoted it before I got my edit in. I don't give a shit about Extend Hakumen. You could make that argument about DPs too. It stops normal pressure and oki, and affects it just by having it in the first place. Except normal DPs are actually better since you can rapid out if it's baited and don't have to pick high or low, and can't get thrown. Sure, it affects how other characters have to play, but the same is true for everybody else dealing with other characters and the kinds of things they have. That's what makes a varied game with lots of different matchups.

I've been a fan of CT Hakumen since forever. dat S tier Anyway, I see the same people always complaining about his counters every BB release, even though they nerf it every time too. They give it the same "reworking" you've demanding each time. Just because you can't do the same oki you run on everyone else on him or the same pressure doesn't mean it's dumb. It just means you have to be more careful, but a lot of people's approach to nerfing things is "I don't like this because it makes me have to play better, nerf it plz." I'm kind of astonished people can say it's too good after getting nerfed 4 games in a row. People just don't understand anything about his counters. It's a legit complaint when a character's mechanics shut down a character so hard it turns into Tager v Tao, but not when it's 5-5 and each has their own advantages. And it's always been relatively even between those two characters.

lol litchi players are always salty as shit whenever hakumen comes up, keep qqing about that 5-5 matchup

Actually I meant the crush trigger appears at :54. Takes 2 stars.

Hm. Kind of like Jin's crossup j.D antics. Not sure how good that'll be. Maybe there'll be some more uses for it though. His crush trigger is in there too a little after it. Er wait, no, I meant before. At :54. Takes 2 stars.

AGITO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P69NoqT0Vz8&feature=player_detailpage#t=78s also the crush trigger or something else after it

I wonder how much damage forward throw > falling j.2C > 5C > Gurren > 3C would do. Or maybe throw > 5C > 623AA > falling j.2C > 5C > Gurren > 6C / other stuff

I don't even remember someones stats five seconds after I play them, why would I care. I don't even know my own stats lol

Haha, that's so true. That's how I even first heard of you. Across the other side of the country I heard of a Hakumen that beat an Arakune at a tournament in the grand finals by baiting a burst at the final moment. It was like a legend. :P

Overdrive stops timer though. :3

well played

no effort i dont think that means what you think it means lol might as well say that about any DP

wat

Ambiguous j.236D crossup was fine. It's better when characters all have neat stuff to use rather than everyone just getting nerfed into the ground to even everything out. At least that's my preference.

He's WC and I'm EC. lol Not gonna ever happen. I don't think Haku mirrors are that different than other matches. By that I mean, it's not something that's completely different from other fights you have, like Tao v Tao or something. Haku is basic so I don't think it's like I have any special anti Haku skill or something but just play the way I normally do. I used to hurl myself at and get beat down by other Hakus in CT all the time though. Slayer, Leonil, CactusGuy, FullAutoDeath, etc. Also CT had a lot of bullshit, but somehow it made it more fun and made me want to keep playing MORE. Stuff like Nu's doing 2C everywhere just made me more determined to win and made me keep playing. And that's not nostalgia since it's what was happening tonight. :P The salt sustains me. Also Tager was actually scary which made me remember it was 5.5 in his favor.

I don't really care what they do, I'll play him all the same. Doesn't mean it's not dumb.

At least we still have our character.

Yeah, I was playing people in the UK and it felt like a 3 bar.

i just played CT for like 4 hours there's still people on ranked, apparently windows users so much bullshit, but somehow so fun i was getting destroyed by up back barrier nu and her basic blockstrings, but i couldnt stop (well actually i still won, but it got them out of pressure pretty much every time. i won by catching them on sword whiffs) i forgot how hard it is to pressure in that game, everything was based on a read, but the damage, so awesome tager hit me with one combo and did 6k lol

Don't celebrate yet, you barbarians. Only 5D is supposed to be blockable. Although 6D is supposed to be like, active frame 10 now instead of frame 1. They lost their minds.

You can own it with Haku counter

lol Soph, I remember when you used to go on and on about 6C combos. Fuck, why do I feel compelled to go into CT training mode. Now that I started messing around with it I can't stop.

I must fight him.

I've seen it used after 4C in mirrors before, but I was able to block it easily since I didn't have to worry about anything at that range. Usually I have problems blocking overheads when there's a whole bunch of other stuff also going on, ie., they're right next to me and might go for a low or a throw.

Yeah. In that case having Lambda and Mu around would be too similar probably. Unless they just keep old characters around like in old SF games.
