So how are you supposed to use 2D? I know you can use it in some combos, but mostly I use it for midscreen ground control, though something tells me I'm using it wrong.

GGs to all I played in the online lobby tonight. I can tell a lot of you are still learning your characters, so keep at it! Also shoutouts to Chrono_vex (I think?) who ended my winstreak. Nice matches yo.

MAKOTO IS AMAZING. The way she announces her own selection is way too cute. Anyone get Azrael?

Yoo, just got the game, I'll be wandering around US1 lobby or US3 lobby to play with my Californian friend, maybe I'll run into you guys. So far it seems my skills from Japan haven't gone away yet, though lag does not help Makoto play in the slightest. Go by farranvolfen. GGs to this one US Jin player that managed to beat my Mu, and though he will never see this, ggs to a JP Amane player who steamrolled me.

Is 6C punishable on block? When playing a friend (he uses Jin) I'd 6C and still be able to block a retaliatory 2A. Now it could be because he didn't IB but still, anyone know? Also this character is crazy fun, though I'll still probably stick to my core three of Makoto, Mu-12 and Azrael.

Yo, dunno if this is the right thread or not, but I got some vids of me playing a random Japanese player. I was wondering if there is anything you guys could suggest to improve my play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHq0d65ofKY Also I swear that Japanese players are conditioned for throws. Like, I'll sometimes play Melty Blood with Makoto and do stuff like 2A > dash > 2A > dash > grab and whiff the grab, and then immediately 2A and it's always a CH. I thought it was a fluke at first, but after playing a couple of players and getting the same result I'm pretty sure this is the case. It's pretty hilarious.

Ugh man, so many bad games tonight. Got bodied by pretty much everyone in the arcade. I need JP players to watch so I can see what the hell I'm doing wrong in matchups like Amane and Bullet. And if only I could remember to cancel blocked C attacks with steins... oh, and actually land the midscreen Ikutachi combos and not drop them like a noob.

That's fine, the combos coming out now all seem to have Ikutachi > jD > bdc > jC > j2C so I guess no one's using 5B anymore.

I get that, and I was doing the same things as that nicovid. But they just showed the Ikutachi > jD > bdc > jC > j2C in the corner, while the combo before says to do jD > bdc > jC > 5B, and I have no idea how the hell you're supposed to link 5B after the jC. Look at the vids, there's no way that link works, unless I'm missing something.

What the hell does "bdc" mean? I assume it means backdash cancel after the jD but for the life of me I can't figure out how to connect 5B after a jC after a air backdash. I can do jC j2C instead but they tech before I can land and do 5B. Also, got bodied by a Plat today, and similarly bodied a Makoto player before going home. Unfortunately my friend left so I couldn't get any footage. (Makoto's so easy to fight against as Mu wut)

EF and EXCEED are two of the best games I played of all time. OF ALL TIME! You get only one guess as to who my favorite character is. That's a good idea, I saw some of them and was itching to try them out. I'll see if I can get some footage or something later.

Its cool lol, its a vid my friend and I did for fun. And we have like no good recording equipment and stuff so the quality'll be bad. I'm usually a Makoto main, but now I'm torn between Nu and Mu. Also, the vid cuts off because my friend ran out of space on his camera, later I was doing stuff like throw > 6A > 6B > 6C > Ikutachi > followup but sometimes the comp could tech out after a 5B pickup, there has to be a better combo.

Well I'm sorry for sucking. Never played Mu before seriously.

I'm pretty hype for Mu, the Ikutachi midscreen combos are hilariously intuitive. I found out some combos by myself before I came here and found those very same combos were already done by Japanese players, lol. Dunno any good stein burst combos or OD ones yet, I tried OD combos but the constant laser spam didn't really seem to do much. I saw this when I accidentally picked Arcade with Mu (not sparring lol) and was all O_o. Think a shy robot who suddenly realizes she has basically no clothes on. In front of Ragna. I need to get a picture of that sometime. Also, I keep seeing that you can do 3C > Tsurugi but I tried to do that and keep failing. Is 3C special cancellable or is the tsurugi after the 3C kd recovery animation?

So according to the notes, you can do 6A > TK Crescent in CP, am I reading this right? I've been trying to do it in CP and I've never been able to, but I can do stuff like 2DD > TK Crescent so I assumed you can't do it after 6A. Is this correct that you can still do it? Maybe I just suck at inputs... And much lol at that one dude who said that FL combos are too hard in the Japanese chat. I'm feeling that way too, if you stick to one mode and combo that way it's like CT/CS Nu/Lambda all over again, but putting FL into the mix puts a huge level of complexity to muscle memory.
