You misunderstand me. Jin in CT was described as a "boring" character, because he didn't have a lot of the flashy stuff that other characters had. So Buppa plays Jin to his limits, very safe, not doing anything too risky and capitalizing counterhits into combos. When he switched to Hazama, he plays similarily as how he would play Jin. Zakiyama, on the other hand by comparison, goes for a lot of risk and does much more flashier combos.

Can you do Jayakou Houtenjin off of 6B? That's the only thing I could think about it being useful for. Other than that maybe guard crush pressure. I would think it's not good as a combo starter since 3C does the same thing, but much better.

I'll still see Zakiyama as the Hazama player, but Buppa as a different style of play. After all, Zakiyama invented a lot of Hazama's metagame in Japan.

Also Buppa doesn't sit a screen away and endlessly chain/chain cancel, waiting for the opponent to come to him or to get CH'd. But that's a legit tactic!

It just seems like Buppa likes to land guaranteed combos while Zakiyama likes to zone and do flashier combo extensions. Basically, Buppa's "boring Jin" playstyle is leaking through his Hazama. Not that that's a bad thing, of course. Each player has a easily seen different style of playing the same character.

Only a couple of females in fighters annoy me, like Jam in GGAC and NOERU VAMIRRION. Why aren't there more girls like BB Hood anymore? I-No is the closest I've seen, but... she scares me.

FATE/STAY IN THE KITCHEN Sorry, had to say that. Is he a Street Fighter fan? Men galore over there.

Hazama is going to be top tier because he can troll for time outs without the need for FRKZ like Bang does. Just kidding. But in terms of combos, it really does look limited to the c mash one. Are there any combos where he can use the chain combo extender twice? That would be nice to see.

We need a GG (2D, of course) on PS3/360. It's harder than BB in terms of controls, that means less idiots online. Plus they haven't even finished the damn storyline yet! GG2 left out every character other than Sol/Ky, possibly Dizzy. Where did everyone else go?! And I want an HD sprite of Dizzy... Although, how will online play affect FRC timing? I don't want an Frc turning into an RC because of lag issues.

Lrn 2 math

Can someone contact Arcsys and ask them what the hell they were thinking when they nerfed Rachel so bad? Then again, it's not like the loli has it as bad as CT Tager did right? ....Right? Agh, I'm gonna sub her in CS now because I feel so sorry for her. Runaway lobelia/iris spam ftw!

Don't forget all the stuff that Faust randomly threw out. Mini Pots, Mini Faust, Mini Robos, poison, bombs, pans, hammers... In fact, Faust pretty much was the character that defined random crazyness. Now I'm getting a GG vibe. I'm gonna go play AC+ now.

Dizzy's fish are nowhere near Arakune's bees. She can only throw one fish at you at a time. Arakune can throw endless bees. There's no comparison, really. The best projectile in GG was the whale. End of discussion.

Mained Tao because crazy awesome catgirl is crazy awesome. Then I played story mode and listened to Haku's epic pre battle speech, and picked him up as a secondary right away. When CS comes, though, I'll be maining Hazama, and yes, it's partly because he has that MJ vibe. *cue Smooth Criminal music*

So you have to delay the first 236b? I see. Thanks for the input.

Ah, I see, thanks. Also how long do you have to delay to get the window for opportunity between 236bb > 236bbb? I always try it and my opponent always techs before the second wave. I think I'm doing it too slow, but when I try doing it faster, I just get 236bbbb and it won't stop. Any tips?

Just wondering if anyone else saw this, but on the combos page in the 5b > 3c drive loop combos, it says that the three drive loops are only applicable to blah, blah, blah, Jin, but it also says that you only can do two loops on Jin as well. Mixed messages much?

I am the worst Tao player ever lol, but I'll put up my name. My situation is weird, as I have two accounts. One for home on holidays, and one in college, borrowing my friend's PS3 which I use most of the time. So...

Why aren't there more good Noels?! It was a happy day for me when I fought a Noel that used an aerial BnB on me instead of the usual D spam.
