That Hakumen guy's combos were weird...

Well, it's not any different than a regular grab, in principle. People can break grabs anywhere and it's still worth doing. It's just good purely on the basis of expanding my repertoire and getting me more used to air combos so I can work my way up to those longer ones.

So, I've recently discovered mid-air grab combos. God I love it. Nobody ever expects it!

Wasn't it implied or stated that there was some sort of romantic thing going on betwen Jin and Tsubaki? He does have one of his moves as Hakumen named after her...

I agree with Zenmetsu, generally, but on the note about execution complexity being excluded from tiers: I think it DOES play a certain part in it. Consider a tournament match: both players are playing in a tense environment that tends to produce more mistakes than usual, and where one mistake at the wrong time can cost you the entire match. A player playing a character with relatively easy execution (ie., Nu) versus another character that has a more difficult execution means that the first player is less likely to make mistakes of that sort and lose because of it, simply due to the character's design.

During the days of SF2, the best players could change tier lists solely based on the characters they played with.

I wish there was a Mike Z for Hakumen. ;_;

Now that you point it out, Jin himself didn't remember Bang. I wasn't sure if he was just saying that to piss off Bang though.

I think you're misunderstanding what he means. Or maybe I am. From what we seem to understand, Jin saw Terumi as a kid, when he chopped off Ragna's arm. So Jin KNOWS Terumi is running around, by that point in time. Then he goes back in time, and becomes Hakumen, and all the Dark War stuff happens. But when he gets back from the Edge, he's back in Jin's time, which means he should already know about Terumi being loose since he was Jin and saw it happen himself. Unless he just forgot that much.

From Rachel's point of view, they get infinite attempts to get it "right," so it's not like she can't let Ragna live, and if they fail, just try again next time.

If Arakune jumps back and away to throw out his cloud, you can catch him before he does it if you jump towards him and do Gauntlet Hades.

I dunno, it seems way darker colored than her arms and other parts. Look at her arm holding the marker compared to her torso.

It was very confusing for me. Here's how it works. After the match, if all the conditions are met, it asks you if you want to upload the match, right before when it asks you if you want to save a replay. If it doesn't then you can't upload it. So the time you can upload is right after the match at the stat screen.

I thought they were nerfing her, not making her into Jin. DIE DISSIPATE That's where play skill and positioning comes in. Moves aren't supposed to be good all the time. If you have a move that's really strong, then it needs something to offset it. If it's supposed to be a defensive tool then you don't really need it to do anything to them when they're not close to you.

If he originally controlled the Susanoo unit, I wonder if that means he has some special connection with it... that might let him possess the current user of it?

Yeah, it happens to me all the time. I'll be debating in my head if I should try to intercept him or just block, and that split second of hesitation is just enough to get me hit. Basically you must have let go of block at the very last second.

Well, my problem with that idea with him possessing Jin is, if Terumi DID possess Jin, then Ragna wouldn't know anything about Terumi. All Ragna would have seen is Jin killing everyone. I think in that scene, it implies that Terumi shows up there, physically. At first Ragna mentions Jin, because he hears him. He can't SEE Jin through the smoke, but he assumes the clouded figure is him. Then the game says "a man" emerges, and Jin and Ragna are still kids then. It makes sense; when Terumi is laughing at Ragna, Ragna is still telling Jin to run away and take Saya with him. It doesn't seem to have registered with him that Jin was with Terumi, so Jin must have just been standing there watching it happen to Ragna while Terumi was doing everything. That's why Ragna's all confused when Jin starts saying things that sound like he's against Ragna; Ragna's like "what are you talking about?" since Jin hadn't done anything to make Ragna think he was hostile. So I think he actually showed up, cut off Ragna's arm, then hauled Jin off with him. That makes me wonder what Ragna is mad at Jin for though... and Jin still talks about the incident as if he was the one who did it. The picture of the Six Heroes kind of looks like the Terumi we see at the end of the game... so it feels like he still had the Hazama (his real) body.
