if you are seriously debating over kriby and rachel you got problemz ! lol


rachel all the way

 

[Minato]

Yes, Rachel. Rachel all the way.
Speaking of her, I won over 20 matches with her today and only lost 3. I'm getting better with her.

I'm not a pro with her or anything like that, I'm just happy that I'm improving. I still have issues against any counter-happy Hakumens. They ruin my pressure tactics since they can just counter whenever my attacks are blocked.
It's pretty frustrating.

Oh, and I fought some good V-13s finally. I'm still having problems with the matchup. V-13 and Arakune give me serious problems.

Do any of you have the PS3 version? If so add me on PSN. My tag is SkylerOcon. Send me a message saying your SWF name, so I know who you are.

I'll add you tomorrow. Too tired to play right now. I just got through 20 or so games just barely.

 

[MASTER_VOID]

this game is too good ............carl and rachel FTW!!!!

 

[DFEAR]

carl is so hard xD i cant imagine anybody maining him first.

 

[Minato]

I played a really good V-13 player today online. I got destroyed. The Rachel and V-13 matchup is really hard.

Pumpkins and frogs keep getting destroyed by her drive, lightning rods take to long to shoot out, and using wind just to get to her wastes one wind which could be used for combos.
I need to face more V-13s so I can get used this matchup.

On a lighter note, I've been doing better against rushdown characters. Noel still gives me some problems though, same goes for Jin.

I still have issues on fighting Tager though, especially with lag.

 

[Masmasher@]

For me its ether litchi, ragna or rachel
I love litchis long strings and her tactical options when shes on and off the pole. ( that sounded dirty lol )
I was playing my friends and i managed to land one of her 25 hit strings on him when he was tagar. His mouth dropped lol.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Oh gawd, did someone say V-13 and Tager in that same order? I think I died a little, (I hate fighting them). D= ☆

 

[SkylerOcon]

I thought I was decent until I played Minato. I got wrecked! Good games though, I think I learned a bit.

But yeah, no more Jin for me. He's just not very fun to play as. I prefer V-13.

 

[ChaosKnight]

ahahahha someone strayed towards v-13 lol

 

[Minato]

Haha, thanks. If you ever need practice against Rachel, just send me an invite.
Watch out for Rachel's pressuring tactics, they lead into some pretty nasty combos.

And once you master V-13, you're going to destroy me unless I somehow get better at that matchup.

 

[DFEAR]

jump and block/guard :3 and slowly approach or teleport xD?

 

[Minato]

I was referring to her actually combos.
Then again... what you're saying isn't far from the truth. XD

Oh, and I really want to pick up Carl ones of these days. To be honest, I've only used Rachel, Taokaka, Ragna, Jin, and V-13 right now, but I've only used Rachel and Tao in real matches. I really should try to learn the rest of the cast.

 

[Ken34]

i play V-13, i havent played for a while. maybe i should play you guys sometime.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Minato, I just wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring your requests for fights. Sometimes my son turns on the PS3 and leaves it on for hours when I'm not around, and I get home and see all these invites, haha.

I don't remember sending you an invite in BB yet. Maybe you're mistaking me for someone else?
But yeah, if anyone does want to play, just send me an invite.

 

[nevershootme]

so I found a post on SRK... and posted onn ATL south social. now passing it to here

guys... if you want to challenge Japan players... here are their tags. and uh... good luck getting wrecked by them. sources found from SRK

XBL: name - gamertag - Character

Dora - dora f91 - Bang

Kaqn - kyokugei (unsure, but it could be him) - Jin/Ragna

 

[Minato]

Good games, Jam Stunna. Your Litchi caught me off guard in the first match.
In fact, I don't face that many Litchis so I didn't know how to block against some of her moves.

I fought a decent V-13 today. He was pretty good from what I saw in his other matches. I did really well against him by cornering him over and over until he died. I didn't want him to zone me at all.

I'm just lucky that he didn't destroy my pumpkins fast enough.
I lost to a couple Jins today. Stupid lag doesn't allow me to instant block is ice car move...

I learned how to get past spamming Noels now, so I'm doing much better in that matchup.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Yeah, good stuff. Man, you rocked my socks. Best Rachel I've played by far.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Anyone have the 360 version?

How do the controls feel?

 

[stingers]

i have the 360 version

my name is stongertron if you want to add me

it's really fun, the controls feel good to me but i use the analog stick instead of the dpad because the dpad is ****ing terrible :x

 

[Dreadlord Santa]

Wow, it's been ages since I logged into Smashboards @_@ I guess there's not much reason to log in here since I've actually been spending more time playing Guilty Gear and the like than Smash lately, but I can still always post in here, hehe.

Anyway, I've got the PS3 version. I'm a pretty serious Rachel player, but I haven't configure my internet connection or anything yet, so I haven't actually tried playing online (when I do, though, my profile will end up being the same as my Smashboards name) As a result, the only characters that I really have any experience against are Arakune and Litchi. Yeah, Litchi's a little tricky to get used to - I generally just have issues with blocking overheads, and Litchi's the overhead queen @_@ I'll probably have the feel for her nailed down whenever my friend comes over to play next, though that'll probably be a ways off, since he's going to Otakon...

Arakune, on the other hand, I've had NO trouble with whatsoever. You can out-zone him rather easily, to my surprise... your projectiles just cover a much wider range than his do. The biggest problem I have is keeping my wind charges up against him... it seems like I spend an even larger amount of time in the air against him than the other characters, so I usually find myself Wind-starved by the time he's around 50% health. I think I'm just developing an addiction to using pumpkins to cover my approach <_<

Oh, and I don't have the 360 version myself, but both of my friends with the game do, and, well... they used to be pad-warriors, but they actually went out and bought sticks specifically for this game, if that's any indication as to how the controls work <_<

 

[Smooth Criminal]

>_>

I can see Rachel having a decent match-up against Arakune. Pumpkins are amazing.

But those other characters that don't have a projectile game...

*hugs his Ragna close.*

...are in for a world of ****ing hurt. I have to practically eat a Crimson Drive just to get in and combo the slippery little mother****er. Or, if I'm lucky, the person controlling Arakune doesn't zone/space properly and I can catch him on the rare whiff (*gasp!*).

qcbA (I think that's the notation) is my friend.

[DFEAR]

rachel vs arakune is in rachel's favor for sure. its not the pumpkin its her playstyle. u can outzone arakune very easily before an arakune player can get that curse in. but of course once that curse is in put, prepare for 55%+ of ur health to be gone from a simple 6c loop strand. sighs arakune so straightforward lol (almost broke finger tendons learning negative releases)

btw when arakune does his J236D and then teleports u can wind him back to his original position, very funny.

ways to counter this strategy for the arakune player is to either buffer the J.2A during teleport or J.2C to counter the wind and give urself a nice momentum boost then u can rapid cancel or buffer an overhead 6A>5D>214B>C+B bug> 6c Loop for awesome red dmg :3 or a low 2a>5b>5d (hold c)>c release>j.2a>j.2b>b bug>6c loop whichever u prefer really

for the rachel player punish appropriately with ur 236's and send george whenever arakune curse clouds, and then commence ur awesome zoning while we do our awesome air mindgames lol

btw fork is broken, cat chair has priority over sharks, cat uppercut also has priority, gii's j.2a is beast.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

but of course once that curse is in put, prepare for 55%+ of ur health to be gone from a simple 6c loop strand. sighs arakune so straightforward lol (almost broke finger tendons learning negative releases)

I wanted to quote this and reinforce the fact that I hate Arakune. More particularly, a good Arakune. lmao

Why do I main Sol Badguy (Ragna)? Makes me wonder sometimes.

Smooth Criminal

 

[DFEAR]

^sol badguy is beast. all of accent core characters are beast man! dont underestimate normals or the character tier.


btw arakune is nothing without curses but lucky for him ANY attack he does sets up into curse lol just be careful when hes approaching jellyfish style or when he is simply waiting like a hakumen player lol

 

[Smooth Criminal]

LMAO

The Hakumen comment was win and so ****ing true. They just wait and wait and wait and BAMOSHIYOUJUSTGOTWRECKED! I faced this one dude that totally ***** me with a combo that, I kid you not, ended in repeated j.C(I think that's the aerial where he just pushes his sword at you). Took almost half my life away. Got it off on me right as I whiffed Inferno Divider. -_-

Naw, man. I don't care about Ragna's tier placement, in all honesty. I enjoy his playstyle. It was really a rhetorical question more than anything. I was a Sol main for GG. Loved him to bits.

I'll definitely remember that tip about Arakune, tho'.

Smooth Criminal

 

[DFEAR]

one of my crew mates plays hakumen so yea i just wait till he approaches me first then commence curse>c looping lol, another plays rachel i never understood formal zoning until i played against her, and the other plays ragna and i have never heard so many quarter circle combos ever xD.

btw U MUST GOTO WILLVOLUTION THEN FLORIDA GAMING FOR BOTH SMASH AND BLAZBLUE I EXPECT U THAR!

tip against arakune:

seriously dont approach unless u have to. air mobility is good but beware of his tongue (anti-air) it leads straight into a j.6a>j.b>j.c>j.2d so its a free curse and if the arakune player knows what hes doing against that certain character he furthers the combo by adding a C bug/4A bug or 2B bug and then commence 6c loop O_< its quite bothersome.

hakumen can handle arakune really well since most of his normals can kill the clouds but lucky arakune can bait the cloud into a bell bug curse or 2d curse w.e floats the boat ya know.

dont fall for baits. if u see a homing cloud just hop over it asap and expect a counter (block o.o but i doubt an arakune is that aggressive to attack u mid-air) to that jump or get pressured with an assisted bell bug(just kill it lol) blocking air mobility. and watch the cloud that comes out of arakune, u can tell what strategy he will use by the said cloud.


but ur rachel. just wind and u win :3 ur that awesome lol

 

[Minato]

Yeah, I've gotten used to the Rachel Arakune matchup, and I agree that it's in her favor.
Like you stated, moves like 2C, 6A, and 6B are really useful.

*Sigh* I'm thinking about going back to Guilty Gear one of these days. BB is fun, but I miss

GG as well.
