I think when you do j.C you're supposed to have some momentum that lets you slide as you do 5A > 5C, but I couldn't figure out how to get the momentum.
I also did it in the corner =P
what i do is when rachel does her cannon, i react by doing 3c for a free combo. i sometimes run in for a grab so that the rachel cant use her electric chair on me
i usually dash in and do 2b 3b to pressure him. and when im dashing in and hakumen does his really annoying poke, i do 3c and if im lucky, i can get a free combo off of it
d spammers are actually easy after you get used to the moves. theyre slow to me so i can react to it, but i just dont fight noels enough so i dont know why move theyre going to do.
i dont think losing the 4 stars will mean much to hakumen since he'll deal heavy damage right after anyways... and he doesn't predict the bursts, he sees it and reacts to it fast enough
what should i do when the hakumen can counter my bursts? when he combos me and i try to burst out, he counters it and starts hitting me again and i die really fast after that...
