Thanks, I'll keep this in mind.

The situations is: Wall-Carl-Hakumen-------Ada When Hakumen gets a combo going from around mid screen, a lot of the time I end up in the corner. Sometimes I'll try to block and punish his corner pressure with 2A-5A-5B-6B-623C-5B-j.B-j.B-236C-8D. Or I'll try to Vivace out, summon, and put Hakumen in corner pressure/lock him down with the gear if I have meter into an unblock. I was just wondering what it is that you guys do. Sorry I should have been more specific.

Quick question. If Hakumen pushes you into the corner with Ada behind (Edit: Hakumen) but out of range with everything except Fuoco, do you summon or try to knock him into her? I feel like this happens to me a lot and I'm never sure exactly what to do.

Alright thanks! I'll practice this.

What is it that you guys follow 4D up with on hit? I tend to go for a grab right before they hit the ground, and a lot of the time they dont expect it, but I need something more reliable.

I would say that Carl isn't so bad as everyone thinks he is sans the clap loop. The thing is, the clap lop was discovered before many of his other high damaging combos, so people sort of stopped trying to do anything other than the clap. A lot of stuff wasn't even really experimented with until CS came out. There's a bunch of good combos Carl can do in CS and CT but in CT we have the loop so people say "why bother". In CS Carl is solid A tier, and he hasn't received any drastic changes aside from the loop being taken out IIRC. Just little tweaks here and there plus Volante. Edit: Grammar :3

Yeah I agree with Zoogs, Carl's not bad without the clap loop, he's just not a pick up and play type of character. As far as magnetism goes, I like to throw out 5C and have Tager pull himself into it.

Just found this thread. Vampire Savior is undoubtedly my favorite game. I main Anakaris and I'm terrible. I mostly play on Supercade (new 2DF) and my user name is Hildr. I hope to play with you all sometime.

Yeah I'll agree with this. Noel seems very "slippery" whenever I play her. It seems like the best course of action to take here is bait/block and punish. But that's not really any fun. Any tips for offense sans the clap loop? Edit: Also great matches today Mascarpone, it was a lot of fun. My game has been kind of sloppy lately but I'm trying to get back into it.

Not to mention combos themselves.

It seems that way. We need to force green throw so that in the event that the opponent doesn't tech, we can follow up with a combo.

I was thinking if they don't tech, would you be able to do 236B and hit them with 2C or something? Pardon my unfamiliarity with CS.

Neat. Right now I really only use Anima on people blocking my sandwich strings. Seems to work pretty well.

Congratulations!

It makes me sad to see this end so soon. It seemed like a fun idea...

Nice matches tonight Mascarpone. Twas fun!

Sorry I wasn't able to make it guys, some stuff came up that I had to take care of. If you ever see me online feel free to shoot me an invite.

Sounds fun! I'll try to hop on for a bit.

Thanks guys. Edit: Well I just lost the match, sorry Team Clover. Zoogs, Doc was a pretty aggressive player and jumped in whenever he could. I think I lost the round due to improper doll management. I ended up trading a lot of 8]D['s and Haku-men's j.C, this killed Ada pretty quick. Good luck Zoogs.

Any advice on how to play this match up as a whole? My next 3x3 match is Hakumen and I'm trying to prepare. Usually I refrain from approaching as a I am quite unsure how to go about it, other than Kara IAD on whiffs. I usually just wait for him to come to me, block his attacks, then sandwich. Any tips regarding overall spacing and pacing for this match up would be greatly appreciated.

That would be DesuEX my friend. I thought it was DeusEx for the longest time, that's the only reason I'm writing this. And also I would agree with you, I can usually put up a decent fight against DesuEx but Arcadefire just shuts me down.

PiGG, one day I hope to enrage my opponents as you do, truly, you are an artist. Great stuff both of you.

Haha thanks. I feel like my performance in the video was of considerably poorer quality than usual. Maybe I was just nervous. Would you mind doing some mirrors sometime? Also what is a good way to keep pressure on in the corner without Ada? I think that's what cost me the final round. Edit: I capitalized "what" in the last sentence, so I changed it so that I wouldn't look like an idiot. But then I'm writing this anyway...:8/:
