If a Ragna is throwing random Carnage Scissors, he is honestly asking to get his ass handed to him, unless you know for he knows for a fact that you're doing an entirely unsafe move that he can punish. You don't even have to use cat chair to beat that move in neutral. You can just block and get good damage from basically any punish, too. Any character can punish that move on block, so.... It's not a matter of tricking the Ragna into using CS against cat chair, it's more that your opponent is either not well versed in how the game works or isn't taking the match seriously. That super tends to be used as a combo ender, not a poke. That said, if a Ragna continues to throw that move out in neutral, do whatever you want to kill him, because he's basically giving you free damage.

I'll be around tomorrow. I wonder how many credits I have on my GC card?

It's a pretty recent thing, so yeah, a lot of people haven't seen a million of them yet. xD

I enjoyed my dinner last night~. XD

There is no retail version of CS on the PC. The only BB to get the PC treatment thus far is CT.

Is it too long? 1) I like the Tager's name. 2) I'm pretty sad Matsu missed the guardcrush Tempest Dahlia on the Arakune.

I seem to recall that it was said in an interview that the next GG would not be made until all of BB was complete (story-wise, that is). So probably a few more years before GG gets the HD treatment. Also, yes, anime-style attracts some people to the game and dissuades others. I ended up playing the game just because it looks absolutely stunning, graphics-wise. Is the game competitive? Yes. Is it on the level of games like Marvel and SF? As far as popularity goes, no, and it may never reach that status. That doesn't make it a bad game to play, though.

It should just win without clashing. If it clashes, then it'll probably lose if Ragna does 5A > throw or something. Clashes gives both players the option to do any move, so there's no reason for Ragna to just sit there and let Carnage Scissors finish. Chances are that if it clashes, anyway, you were at the maximum range of Carnage Scissors and your second 2C would whiff if Ragna just held D down and cancelled the second hit of CS.

You can still 2C overheads and certain other moves. It shouldn't be too big an issue. The delayed guardpoint is more just something people will have to adjust to.

It's a popular children's book that everyone is spoofing, now. Might as well be a meme.

@luf: voice acting is pretty awesome, though the angry voice at the end wasn't as awesome. too many of these hat spoofs now, though.

Mix up your approaches, and switch between zoning and rushdown as necessary. If you constantly use the same approach, Ragna can probably find a solution to it and just hit you every time you run at him. The generally safest means of approach is winding the pumpkin forward while rushing Ragna down, so that the pumpkin covers Rachel's approach. On the other hand, non-winded approaches tend to be very risky for Rachel. Remember that Ragna really, really has issues dealing with zoning, and Rachel has more than enough zoning tools to make his life miserable. Having the pumpkin and George out at the same time as you're tossing lobelias willy-nilly at Ragna makes it very hard for him to approach Rachel. If he ends up having to block George, congratulations, you suddenly have a free approach. If Ragna does get in on you, you just have to block until you see a gap you can poke out of. His pressure isn't the strongest, so there tends to be a number of places you can use 5A/2A to get free. Until the next game rolls around, 2C is also a reasonable answer to some of his pressure strings. I'd suggest you focus on using 5A/2A, though, so as not to grow reliant on 2C. This match from NWM is actually a pretty good example of how to deal with Ragna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhV0GrB5yik#t=5m50s

That saleslady sounds like a pro. Gotta sell those things somehow!

Kinetic typography is great. And I still don't know where that drawing is from, dammit.

For good reason, perhaps?

Is Higurashi guro? It has guts, gore, excessive and bloody violence, innards being ripped out and drawn in horrible detail, etc.? Because that tends to be what guro is. Higurashi is also not porn, but eh.

Spent, like, an hour looking for that image source, but couldn't find it. Went through probably a hundred pages of forum posts on MAL, too. Uuugh. Fortunately, it was a thread of motivational posters, so it was rather entertaining, even if incredibly tiring. I wonder if we'll ever discover its source. D:

Yeah, it might be the site. Also, I know, right? D: I'm impressed you actually opened 60 pages of that manga, though... I didn't even want to open the first page. Now you see why that image doesn't appear to be from that manga, right? ><

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

I CAN EDIT YOUR POSTS, TOO! MWAHAHAHA. But dangit, someone finally caught me! D: I think this thread alone has another three or four double-posts from me that I've deleted. >_> edit: i still can't figure out why it's doing that. argh.

Happy Thanksgiving, guys! Also, new Google image search sounds hype. Went and looked up that manga, did a quick skim of it in thumbnail format (hell no, I'm not opening any of the images to full size), didn't see the image we were looking for. Hm.

Lol. What in the world?

A Masazumi (from Horizon) boobpad would be hilarious. edit: also, happy turkey day~. Though I doubt I'll be eating turkey, lol.

Delaying the j.C part makes the timing easier, iirc. And the opening j.C isn't required for performing the combo, though I guess that's obvious. You can just run up and do 5A 5C to start it.

New Google image search? What is this? o: Also, guro. Hm. From mangaupdates: I'm sort of surprised it's that type of doujin. O_o
