I guess I just don't know the difference between a loop and an infinite.

Good games Minato. That comeback in the second round of your first match against his Hazama was pretty epic.

Haha, thanks and GGs. I wasn't expecting to win that one against the Hazama.

I need to learn how to deal with some of the higher tiered characters.
I'm having a difficult time since I didn't even know how to handle those specific characters back in BBCT.

I didn't know the taunt loop broke eventually. How many repetitions does it usually take?

Most top Tao players can only do it about 10-15 times.

edit: And when I say 10-15 times, I meant hits. As in, I was watching the combo counter.

Almost as scrubby as an entire match with Jin players spamming ice car and blizzards.

But still, I have yet to see a Noel player have good pressure strings online.

Hey guys.

All the new characters (Hazama, Tsubaki, Mu-12) are so GARBAGE.

Why am I the only one who thinks this?
I'll agree with you that Tsubaki's damage is pretty garbage, because she needs charge to get, like, 3k, and she has no overheads. Um, Hazama and Mu are pretty good though.

I would argue that Hazama and Mu are easy to use once you understand them.

But yeah. Hazama is actually pretty godlike. Easy to learn, great mixup, good normals, amazingly good meter gain. And one of the best supers in the game.

Someone needs to sound the alarm if a Canadian attains an English copy. I'm gonna start calling around at 11 or so, to see if any of the EBs get one in. (Nova Scotia)

You could always check with Dan. He's in the FB group, came to the last biweekly, and I'm pretty sure he works at EB.

I wouldn't say godlike. The only characters who really fit that description right now are Bang and Litchi. Still, Hazama is much better than the community previously gave him credit for. He has everything you said plus incredible mobility which can help a lot with zoning. His worst matchup, Hakumen, isn't even that bad.

Tsubaki's overhead is 6A and it can gatling in 5C which is nice.
Plus Tsubaki can be tricky since her overhead has almost the same as her 6B which hits low.

You can catch people off guard by doing something like 6A 5C charge cancel then dash 2A 6B or something like that. It isn't frame perfect but it can pressure someone that stays too defensive.

But yeah... damage for her sucks. Sacrificing oki and pressure to deal average damage is terrible.

Well, Hazama is one of those characters that excels at nothing, but is good at everything.
He doesn't excel at footsies. Once he's at mid range, he's at a disadvantage against some of the cast since his footsies aren't great to get in at that point and he needs to use his drive or stay patient. Using his drive at that range, he's at risk at an easy Counter Hit.

Good idea, but who should I main? :laugh:

Minato, who was my best character in our matches?

Better question, want to play in a few minutes?
Besides getting lucky with Arakune's curse on me... :mad:
Maybe Lambda might've been your best? I'd say experiment with the characters you like a bit further by learning their combos before making a decision.

And yeah, I'm up for playing some BB. I'm on my PS3 now, so whenever is fine.

Unfortunately, you can't combo anything into 6A, so it's almost useless in a pressure string. I cannot recall if she has any combos that start with 6A either, except maybe anti-air ones. Yeah, she needs a bit of a damage buff though, that's for sure.

Well, I said he's good at everything and excels at nothing. But yeah, I agree that mid-range is his weakness, but he can manage. It's certainly not crippling, by any means. Also, I would argue that footsies aren't a huge deal like they are in Street Fighter.

Yeah, lol. I'm starting to get a LITTLE better with getting curses, though.

I'll play in a few minutes.

GGs Minato. Who do you think I should main? Lol.

Oh, and for some reason I kept bursting without mashing the buttons. XD
GGs. I'd say use Lambda so you can try to play more consistently than worrying about getting an opponent to be curse with Arakune. Lambda has low health, so I don't know if that's a deterrent for you or not. But yeah, I would say use of those two and experiment with them with combos in Challenge or looking them up on Dustloop.

Anyone have any tips for a good method of gripping a joystick? (no **** puns intended) I'm having a hellish time trying to get used to my arcade stick. I can't QCB worth a ****, and Half-circles are godawful. I can only seem to consistently pull off 623's. or 236's. I can't do anything backwards, basically.
