Big night at AI is gonna be so cash. Gonna use tourney winnings from today to get a slick outfit. (kidding guys ) (I would never waste that much money )

I'll see if I can try some stuff out, if that's the best we have.. Burning the only grounded double palm off the bat does hurt.

Oh. There might be a better one then.

Simple and high effectivity is 623B 5B 2B jB j623B 5B 2B jB j4C jC. Should hit for about 4.5k, IIRC.

The hit confirm a counter 2D for a four seal off a guard point on Tager is nice, I've seen the other two, but they're both good to list.

My being there would be dependant on you, ya. Just text me a ya or a nah whenever. I should be free at the appointed possible times.

Gadget finger is not the least of Rachel's worries. Your super jump wind out still loses to 5A, I believe, but yes, it is a good options (GF = +2 for tager, Rachel's jump = 4 frames, Tager's 5A = 7 frames? But I still see people that try to jump out get auto hit by Tager 5A every time, so I dunno). Just realize 5A 5B 3C goes back to GF every time, so it's not a free out.

yo zong, dat AI practice today?

Rin; That's actually where I met Dabbit/Goryus. Cut2 was awesome. Mac; If you feel confident in not only reacting correctly in under a third of a second after your godlike less than a tenth of a second IB, but ALSO guessing correctly between 2A or 5B (And nothing else, if 5A 2B you're gonna get hit by his highest damage starter, if he doesn't gatling 5A he can 5A you), be my guest. IB DP between 5A > 5B is at least feasible.

Ey yo norcal too far PS already knew 5A > 5B can be DP'd if you have the most godlike fingers ever.

Be that as it may, I don't really believe Ragna is on quiite the same level as Bang Litchi man, and the three have been in the same order every time. Though that gets incredibly subjective.

I was re-reading this thread to find the tier list for a friend, and was shocked to find someone really didn't know Litchi was better than Bang on all official tier lists.

YOU WA SHOCK!

what the fuckkk @PC; all is explained by this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zwj9RMxByQ

I don't understand at all. I don't believe I ever mentioned Ara's defense.

Ara's insta-fever still isn't clap, at all. Clap is a one shot kill off so many small hits, where if you do not burst you immediately have lost, with many characters. Ara, at best, will get fever, and THEN potentially one shot kill you if you fail again. So it's about half potency. Lol. kou, you are comparing previous curse combo damages to CS curse combo damages as if it is a valid comparison, whereas in CT curse did not open up opportunities for one shot kills, no matter how broken CT Ara's curse guard pressure was. Besides, in CT, you could feasibly successfully counter assault and curse was immediately over. Not so much anymore, unless it's very very late curse, in which case it's usually a waste. 100% curse everywhere just bothers me because I know they wanted Arakune to be a fun, tense character, where curse built gradually, and then exploded. But that's not what happens almost ever. Lol.

Hey this is working better than I expected Theoretically, yes, toe, since the several things Ara relies on (Air grab, anti air, etc) generally get ripped to pieces by even mid-range zoning characters, so much more so by Lambda's full screen zoning/cloud prevention. With better normals all around, he should theroetically be more able to keep pressure once begun.

1) Ara is not over powered in my eyes. 2) Ara's defense is sub par and simple 3) Ara's offense is poorly designed, revolving around 3 or so choke points that are IMMENSELY powerful, and nearly ignoring the rest of his moves completely. 4) Therefore, Ara's offense is stupid, and needs to be tweaked, so that the 3 or so choke points are not the entire focus of every single Ara player. THIS IS NOT ASKING FOR A NERF. This is asking for his offense to make sense, and not be "lol hit ya 7 frm airgrab agn" 5) Conclusion, they almost have Ara right, they just need to tweak his normals to be all on the same level, so that he will be interesting instead of predictable yet simultaneously constantly massive risk.

He doesn't BUILD it. He hits you once, with the same moves every time, hoping that you are already committed. Again, the only way I see Ara win in Japan is hitting air grabs, and it happens pretty much every round. You know what, how many times do I have to repeat myself? This is ridiculous. For the last time, and in the future I'll just quote from here if it comes up again; 1) Ara is not over powered in my eyes. 2) Ara's defense is sub par and simple 3) Ara's offense is poorly designed, revolving around 3 or so choke points that are IMMENSELY powerful, and nearly ignoring the rest of his moves completely. 4) Therefore, Ara's offense is stupid, and needs to be tweaked, so that the 3 or so choke points are not the entire focus of every single Ara player.

Damnit mod, that smilie was important. I am sick and tired of this mild oppression upon my rights! Oh, and Krieg, you're kind of right. I troll people a ton on the internet, but IRL I am extreeeeemely laid back and non-confrontational. But at the same time, I am the farthest thing from timid. Comes with performing.
