The backdash nerfs might help us out.

You can Hotaru Bang's airgrab super. If he tries it you when you're in the air, you can make him eat pain for free.

Even more important than the game, a tournament is a social event. You're going to be going to a gathering of the best players around. That's a huge resource. So don't be shy, and make friends with everyone. They can give you much needed experience and give advice. Plus they will just be fun to hang around with. On that note, make sure you are showering before you go.

Don't rush him down. Zone him out. Focus on poking him from as far a range as possible and playing keep away. If you're even a pixel off the ground, he can't grab you. So jump when you think a grab is coming. But watch out for Atomic Collider, which can grab you out of the air. Tager thrives on punishing mistakes. A blocked DP against another character could be a decent combo, but against Tager you'll eat at least a 720. So don't panic, and try to keep a cool a head as possible. Patience is the key. Although I see you play Valk. He should be able to fly all over the screen like no problem against Tager.

It sounds like you are afraid to try and poke out, so you're just hunkering down. But good defense isn't just blocking, it's knowing the right time to get out. You have to learn the gaps in blockstrings. There are a few ways to do this: 1) Trial and error via match experience. Just play as much as you can, and see what you can do. Ideally, you will want to do this anyway. 2) Training mode. Record common blockstrings that you want to deal with, and figure out where you can disrupt it. 3) Frame data. This should go hand in hand with the other two to show you when you can try for a punish. A lot of this can also come down to matchup knowledge, so go to the matchup forums for your character, and the other players there will know what moves you can punish against a certain character. Don't be afraid to get hit. Eventually you'll get the hang of it. Besides, if you just sit there and do nothing all day, they're going to hit you at some point anyway. So you might as well make them work for it.

yup every time i try to play him its like luring a deer out of the woods

whoa what...... i never even knew he played makoto.

> nem > izayoi moving in on tectal's territory i see can't let the man even have his sub

i have no idea how accurate the list is but based on character design you could have tager and mu being 5s for different reasons. maybe mus tools arent as good vs him and tager has some unique strengths vs azrael, etc

its when you make them block 6c with hakumen then rc and 3c when they think they can punish

you could already do that so jump attacks got buffed?

how can it lag on ps3 it never lagged on 360

I'll zone you with 6B.

aw shit son you said the magic words

Yes it's a dirty tactic. He lulls you into a false sense of security before demolishing you with the wolf. At least I'm honest about being the greatest player.

the valks only come out when the moon is full

Hmm, wait. You would not have any star gain during neutral too right? So jumping around j.C'ing is going to hurt your meter...

I wonder why they would be against us being in the air. It could have just been a nerf to star gain during OD, but instead it's across the board.

Anything else worth noting?

The question is, what role does it have from that forward momentum. Plus you could just use 5D in the same situation...

The damage was to make the risk reward worth it. Now the move itself is just unuseable in 6D's case. It's like complaining that your pistol doesn't do enough damage in a man to man firefight, so they take the pistol away and give you a cannon.

That's why I asked the follow up. ;o Anyway, all you would have to do is remove the followup and make the proration high enough that it doesn't do huge damage. 2k or so would not be bad. All that matters is that 1f. Well, I guess it won't really matter in his current iteration.

Just get rid of it altogether and make his counters how they used to be. Bam.

I don't get what you mean. Why wouldn't it be great with 1f startup? Or do you mean, explain how it wouldn't be TOO great.

But it's not too good off 2D or 5D? Ehhhh. Enma followup is stupid anyway. Bah, humbug. etc
