Hazama is pretty awesome, he's the most stylish character in the game by far and away.
Combo's ain't bad either, if you can get the Snake-cancels in;

I don't want to look at this in order to save the surprise for when I own the game (or play it at casuals, if I can manage it first).

But based on his plot implications and how stylin' he is in his suit, I wanted to pick up Hazama probably as my main.

Maybe I just think being in a full suit in a fighting game is awesome. Rugal was my most played character in CvS2 even though I had no idea who he was, and I was terrible with him, he was just too stylin' to refuse.

7 foot tall guy in a suit with coat-tails and a panther? Oh yeah.

In CT though I really enjoy Ragna, Tager and Tao.

I'm probably worst with Carl and Lichi.

Scavenger XIII

Fighting in business attire is epic stylin' at all times.

Think I'll wait for CS to come out here before I properly pick up Arakune, too different, only thing I could probably learn is his 6C loop timing.

And his air jump cancels. You want the bird-facing for no-curse damage (gotta take it wherever you can.)

GorySnake

You mean stuff like J.6B - J.236C? I was trying out some combos like that and combos into curse, although the combos I learned wont cause 100% curse but every little helps.

GGs to VOA last night, i have some major work to do =[

Tagers only gotten better dude. Destroyed me well good xD

Sorry about quitting early, wife was tired lol.

LIFETRAP

I don't think I like how Tager and Bang play in CS. Still gonna give them another few tries. Hazama is top dog for now though, then Valkenhayn whenever he's available.

But you know it feels good getting a 720 on a opponent:D

Needs some double hype dog.

Yeah, that's still awesome. I just don't like his combos that much now.

Nooooooooooooooooo HYPE dog should not be dub. Hype dog is ment to be just HYPED.

GorySnake

Out of curiosity, whats the most recent tier list?

cherryghost

Picking this up for PC after work (got released :eek:)

Also, on a plus plus plus note, it's got cross platform play

Edit: FAIL! It's Calamity Trigger ¬¬

Voa

This is a slight oldbie, but it's the Arcadia tier list from about 5 months ago.
Me and Joe reckon that Makoto will probably nestle in the B+ tier, above Jin but below Haza; her range options are terrible, hurting her zoning game and she has trouble with characters that outrange and punish her normals, but can do insane damage and mixups once the distance is closed. But this is just two scrubs talking*:pac:
Current Tiers;
S: Litchi, Bang, Ragna

A: Arakune, Hakumen, Carl
B: Hazama, Jin, Taokaka, Lamda
C: Tsubaki, Noel, Tager
Rachel



They bumped Rachel further down*:pac: Dunno what Tager's doing so far down now, someone must've found a damaging combo for tsubaki, at long last. Noel's a shocker too, I'd've thought she'd stick in B, but I guess she lost too many options.
And of course, Litchi is god(dess), taking the top spot away from Bang (what's that? My full screen normals to 5k combo make me highest tier? WELL WHO'DA THUNK IT)
For the record, I'd probably still lose to Bang more than Litchi, thanks to training with Tin (even if he spends most of it trying to land his Astral Finish on me...*:rolleyes:)

K.O.Kiki

Not sure if I should stick to Arakune or learn Ragna (making me 4th or 5th in Ireland to do that, LOL)

As a former (scrub) Sol player, I think it's for the best I give up on Tsubaki.

Voa

Awesome find is awesome.


Just go through the related vids to find one you want =3 I don't think squirrelly or Mu have a place in it though, as all this was based on the Arcade port.

O.o i'm surprise noel is below jin, though she would be the same. i really need to find a way to punish hazama kick. I know you can but makoto has no range for that :mad:. litchi is just to sick in CS. Also your missing toakaka pretty sure shes in B+

Ragna is a good char. just ver low health some his bnb combos are easy but his advance are really tough.

S: Litchi, Bang, Ragna
A: Arakune, Hakumen, Carl
B: Hazama, Jin, *coughcough* Taokaka *coughcough*, Lamda
C: Tsubaki, Noel, Tager

Silly Joe, punishes are for good characters =3 Now take your fatal counter hits like a good chap, and when next we play offline, I'll show you how I can fit 2 snake bites into the punish for another 500 damage.

yeah well, not going to fall for that. (need to find a way to close in). hate your hazama more then tager now. (also really need to learn combos for tager as well)

Voa

Of course you're going to fall for it.
These hitboxes are yours...
And this is my kick.


Even in slow-mo, Hazama is badass-stylin'

cheers for that:D O.o her range really is terrible. no moves to reach you

Voa

Your only option is to clash the first hit of your air C, and hoping the second hit doesn't clash.


Of course, this is unless I just delay the kick a lil. Then I get the stronger kick version, and get so much time to do my combos and an extra 500 damage.

Voa

Or, you know.
NOT jump at me.

i assume that already, getting better againts your tager (love how i can go under your spark bolt)think i play makoto better then i play ragna. But i hate your hazama now. Won't be in casual till next wed

what was the text about yreval anyway?

Voa

Oh that! Yeah, the loser's semi's is up on Doom's youtube. Tager-Tager joy of joys.
You know, I noticed that, and yet I seem to PERFECTLY time spark bolt to completely and totally MISS YOU every goddamn time.


I just want my magnetic squirrel. Why won't you give me a magnetic squirrel?

thats because i time it so you miss.

worst part is i get you to the corner(after alot of work)you burst and i'm like :mad::mad::mad:

also the lvl 3 need to work on that a bit more you mashed out a super way to often, when it should have been legit.

cool i'm gonna check up the tager vs tager matches now.

Unless you're desperate to land over 6k meterless midscreen, the advanced stuff is entirely unnecessary. His simple bnb below does just short of 4k damage and builds 56 meter for free and is pretty much guaranteed to carry them to the corner.

5B, 5C, 5D(2), dash cancel, 6A sjc.C, j.D, dj.C, dj.214C, (land) 6DD, dj.C, dj.214C, (land) 5D(2), 623D 236C 214D.

I think once I get my own copy of the game I'll need to put a little work into Tsubaki.

Voa

's 'cause I save my vs makoto burst for when I'm in the corner. If you get me cornered, you win.
Conversely, I have no clue when to burst vs Rachel. Her combos do so little damage, I can't seem to justify ever bursting, and her pressure is only so-so in this game. Though I do love the many many ways haku can troll Rachel.*

I actually cant wait for CS to come out now, badly wanna learn some Arakune BS.

We'll probably get it all as DLC...at inflated prices.

Since I'll have both US & PAL copies, I wonder which will end up cheaper.

Attention all BB heads;

This user will have the California North Install tournament uploaded over the next few days. Keep an eye out for your main, and you might learn some tricks.

Screw it, gonna tier whore this game and pick Bang. 5k off of a jab is just too good.

Voa

...at least I'll get some Tier practice.


Also, Joe; MikeZ can't beat Bang. 0-3, 2-3 in MikeZ vs Dacid Bro in the Norcal Final.

Is there a video of that?

Voa

I was on the IRC last night, posted up a link to the stream. The vids will be uploaded, most likely to theBBVlog as time marches on, but they're only just at the opening games right now...
Also, to see Tsubaki played pressure, go there now and see their first game.


Also also; MikeZ's Tager. Just. Wow. It's. Man.

chueytoo

omg carl vs carl match is like :eek: i can't keep up. Litchi way to good, all the litchi in north cal install are owning :mad:
