GGs LostSoul, DWB and Mahouko. Terumi's a huge pain to fight. I don't watch match videos so I don't know what high level play looks like. I just found stuff out on my own and wait for someone to show me that its wrong.

Funny. I think the exact opposite. I think Luna can just sit back and wait and take advantage of its better drives. Luna 5D > 236B or just 5D > nothing feels a lot safer than Dia anything > 236D(~C) since it is hella minus at any range Nu would block it and Nu can actually punish it on IB with drive a few times and other Dia follow-ups don't help considering Nu's range. I just find that Dia Nu's follow-ups are a lot unsafer against Luna Nu than they are against Dia Nu so I would rather spend all of my time in Luna. Guess much more training is needed to see who is right. Edit: Probably should put this stuff into the Nu vs Nu thread...

You're not bad. You caught me with a ton of air throws. Nu players are really annoying with their air throw bullshit. I just think you spent too much time in Dia. I don't think Dia is that great in this match-up outside of the first few seconds and when your opponent has 25% life or less. It's like you're Mac with your challenging of every Nu you come across. Best dodge yet was when I decided I was done for the night and right when I was leaving the lobby, you joined. I almost went back into the lobby to fight you so it didn't look like I was intentionally dodging you.

I was going to go to bed but I can't resist this

GGs Errol and AchedSphinx. Kind of surprised you feel for some of the act parser gimmicks though Sphinx. I would have thought a fellow Nu player would have just mashed out of them.

That thread was over 3 years old...Of course lots of stuff will be in it after 3 years.

Hitboxes are the future.

You can't expect someone to dig through over 4000 posts to find the answer to a question. This leads to questions being asked multiple times. If all the questions were gathered together into their own thread, it would be much easier for someone to check before asking if their question has already been answered.

I'm a pad warrior. Don't really have issues with 623C though.

This should probably go in the Haku match-up thread... but I'm too lazy to go it right now and I figure it if this is important enough to go in there, Hex will move it (Sorry for making you do extra work Hex). I can't hitconfirm off of a single D sword. So I always do 2 D presses in Dia mode so that if the first D sword hit, the second one will auto combo and then I can confirm the rest of the combo. Against Hakumen, if he Yukikaze's the first D sword, the second one will whiff and then I just lost a bunch of damage. Rather than risk that, it is just better to go with Luna where that doesn't happen. Luna also does more damage which is a good thing. There are some other reasons but I don't have enough time right now. What would a guide consist? A video? A fleshed out wiki? Or a really good post in a thread?

I completely agree with running Luna for neutral. I love it. I've had far more success with the Hakumen match-up since I've started using Luna whenever he had 4 or more stars.

Wouldn't Litchi have an easy time stuffing it? Her hit boxes seem like they would be great at that.

Kagura's fake sledge has 20 frames of start-up at least. I've managed to either stuff the start-up or duck under it. Who were you playing?

GGs to the people from the arcade, especially the Nu player. It is hella hard to air throw you. BGs to Omni for standing in front of my cabinet like he wanted to play me but then deciding not to.

That was new. The match ended but neither of us disconnected... GGs Sharakonta, Lich, MashyKaka, Jin_NC and that Kokonoe player I played earlier. I felt I learned some good stuff today.

Except you can't watch any matches. Waiting in line would be so much better if you could watch people fighting in the meantime.

Anyone wanna play?

You have less time to react since the low starts off looking like her overhead though, unless there is a huge difference that I am missing.

And you said Nu's mix-up was faster than Noel's.

GGs to the arcade lobby. Wish I could have played Lich earlier too but I didn't feel like waiting in a line. And I hate all Noel players. I can't block your overhead > RC > overhead.

Anybody wanna play?

Only a gold character can instant block against a gold character.

5DD > 4DD can be Yukikaze'd and probably Shippu'd as well. Mac doesn't really use Yukikaze so I guess that isn't much of an issue for you. Press start. Choose the 2nd options.

Why are you in Dia mode? You aren't zoning him with it or using AA 623C and Mac doesn't mash 5D. Might as well go Luna for the damage output and reversal.
