Irikarul

Hells Fang'd! Lol, good stuff SD. PS: Am I the only one who finds it ironic that Jin's role in the story mostly IS "stepping stone/antagonist for Ragna" (despite NeoCrimson's claims), more so than any other character in the game, yet Jin calls almost everyone else "obstacles"?

I just asked that because I thought when you said "the manly men", you meant "everybody but Carl", which would make me a sad panda.

Since when has Jin been one of the "manly men"?

So, if Carl is on the left side of a sandwiched opponent, with him facing right, and Nirvana's on the right side facing left, then doing a 6D motion will cause Nirvana to punch left?...It could take some getting used to, but might make things actually easier in retrospect, if it only applies to ground loops and such. If the commands for Nirvana are reversed in all of her actions...

The closest thing I ever had to a main in GG (I borrowed AC from a friend for a week or two, so I admit I suck at it) was Millia, and Carl doesn't really play anything like her. Technically, Jin has similar moves to her (icecar/haircar and 5C/lust shaker come to mind), but I don't like using him as much for some reason. I suppose I lean more towards characters with quick moves, but not too fast or all over the place, like Taokaka. Character designs also take a part in it, as I love characters with creative movesets and odd weaponry.

4r5 and Circuitous, you just got sigged!

There was a movie? Since when?

The quality is fine. Can someone sub this, though? It would be nice to understand what everyone's saying.

http://www.youtube.com/user/AutonomousR You can find a LOT of Dio-related videos here. By the way, I'm pretty sure Dio is actually a girl, but someone else might correct me on that. The 2C-8D loop is easy to remember and pretty effective on its own, if you don't feel like the throw loop. Pressing D during the clap helps shorten the time needed pretty significantly, from what I've discovered. Like others have said, spending about a week in training is standard for learning the loop.

What influenced your decision to use Carl, Obsessed? Anyway, welcome to Dustloop! Edit: As for the clap loop, it hasn't been removed, just nerfed since Nirvana runs out of energy faster and the grab window isn't as generous as in CT. Most characters' damage outputs have been nerfed, except for Carl, Hakumen, and a few others that have been buffed slightly. By this logic, Carl won't be as easy to KO. He won't have to rely on the loop to win tournaments in CS, because of all this. Don't get me wrong, though. It's possible to win without loops in casual play. However, in competitive tournaments, you won't stand much of a chance without the loop, unless you get really creative like the professional player Dio. Ironically, Dio was the one who discovered the loop in the first place. The others will probably know more than I do, though, so don't take this as if it's set in stone.

I don't think I've ever seen a boy cosplay as Carl. On the internet, it just seems to be girls going as him. I think this might be a first. Good luck with it.

Good luck with the Carl costume! Do you plan to make a Nirvana?

Will he need a stick as much in CS, considering he won't need the clap loop so much anymore?

I also use the 360 analog. How much does a stick cost?

I knew it worked for his DDs since I pull out the gear special all the time that way, but I never knew it worked for the astral. Thanks.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but what is the difference between [D] and ]D[? Also, if one was to perform the command for Carl's astral, would D need to be held the whole time or would it just need to be pressed after all of the directions have been entered?

I don't remember Nirvana's eyes glowing or her smiling like that, particularly in the last picture. Is it just me, or is CS Nirvana a bit creepier looking than CT Nirvana? As for my color, I'll probably stick with default or the last one.

Who's the one on the bottom left? I know the center one is Hakumen, the top one is Jubei, the one with the pointed hat is Nine, the one with the two swords is Terumi, and no one knows who the bell one is either. Is Valkenhayn more likely to be the bottom left one or the one with the bell?

If Tsubaki follows such a western design, I'm surprised they didn't just make her from a European country. They did so with Noel (Switzerland), Carl (Austria), and Rachel (Romania). Then again, Jin is apparently from England, even with a Japanese name, so I'm going to assume that Tsubaki probably came from a Nordic country of some kind, where the Hierarchical City she came from is probably situated.

Personally, I see Carl as being the least stereotypical member of the CT cast. Sure, he does fill the role of being the "shota character", but I don't see him being much of a stereotype otherwise. Granted, he is the puppeteer character, but they aren't very common compared to most other types of fighters.

Also, could someone upload Bang's, Arakune's, Tao's, Carl's, Noel's, and Hakumen's? I can find concept art for the other half of the cast, but not those six.
