Let me know how it works out.

Also, if you're trying to bait 6A to punish, make sure you use Hotaru or j.D. If you want to j.2C it, then you have to be careful. 6A is active so long and so spammable that he could probably whiff it three times while you're coming down and still hit you out of your j.2C, so you have to be precise with it or just confuse the fuck out of him. If they just wait while you fall, then you can barrier block on the way down.

"While j.C has it uses against other characters I fight, Ragna just somehow seems smart to actually RUN under it, but I guess that's just me." Yes, I was thinking of that too. Smart Ragnas I fight run under you and 6A. j.C only goes so far. Haku's old 6A was better. Removing it forces Haku to zone full screen to keep Ragna out but it doesn't do that good a job, plus it's boring and kills an aggressive Hakumen playstyle. Oh, also remember: Hotaru is jump cancelable. That means if he blocks it you can just do something else. Also you can counter after that too, so if you play your cards right it should be hard to punish. Although in practice it tends to be kind of awkward. All of these tools are situational. Best bet is to just not go head to head with 6A except when you can force it to be on your advantage.

Oh, silly me. Also there's barrier block. Just blocking it isn't bad. You'll be doing a lot of that.

Well, you probably heard this before, but zone him with j.C, try baiting it with double jump, or bait it with Hotaru. Like, act like you're gonna fall into it then when he tries to 6A Hotaru his ass. You need good reaction time for that or being able to predict the Ragna. Generally it's a bad idea to approach Ragna from the air in general. Also, what combos do you use for Haku when you land a hit? I noticed you weren't maximizing your damage when we played so I think you could do some work there and squeeze more out, it can make a difference when you fight Ragna. Oh, IB > counter works real well since his blockstrings tend to be pretty straightforward. If it's someone who likes to bait IB > reversal then they'll be throwing out slower moves or waiting, in which case it gives you time to 2A out instead. Are you gonna play in that 3v3? I was hype for it in CT but I just don't care anymore.

Is there anything specific you're having trouble with?

Hey Steel Coil. Just letting you know about this: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?9832-XBL-3V3-Same-Character-Tourney.-Shake-off-October-Rust As one of the last XBL Hakus that takes CS seriously, you might want to play. I'd be interested in seeing how you do against everyone else.

Who do you play as now? I remember you were bored with Haku.

I think she might need some of her normals buffed too.

Your avatar is awesome.

Did you change your tag again?

lool, pipe burst in my apartment and I had to stay for it to get fixed. How was it?

Yeah, apparently a pipe burst while I was at work and was leaking on the floors below my room, so some guy came up to fix it, but he never told anyone. So later I had a repairman come since I didn't know, and we unsealed the pipe which caused water to spray everywhere. He managed to plug the leak and make the hot water work again, but they're gonna have people come later to fix it more permanently. :P

I was right. Someone WAS in my apartment while I was away.

You'll be my witness lol, good night.
