    And there would be Hima playing Valkenhayn.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    i can't tell how much of that is valk being really good in BBCP

    or Hima being Hima

  • AshtonDragonAshtonDragon AKA The Nix Registered User regular
    Hima has always made Valkenhayn look completely broken. Although he usually is a very good character.

    In this case, he seems very toned down from Extend, to me. Probably for the best.

    So far I feel that every character looks good without looking broken. Which is good.

    Though the game is still early so who knows if when people will discover some crazy stuff.

    yeah, he seems like he still has all the stuff that made him good in CSEX

    just tweaked to be more in line with the rest of the cast

    i hope the console version lets you make neat profile cards like the NESICA cards have

  • DreikoDreiko 正義の鉄槌 Registered User regular
    Valk has severely lowered damage...but his damage was always absurd so severely lowering it isn't an issue. He seems to have much better mixup now...and his mixup already was his strong point so it's gonna be super hard to get out of his pressure once you're in.

    The general consensus of Ragna mains in Japan and America so far has been that he isn't very good anymore.

    Lots of whining about it.

    he was only top tier for like, four fucking games

    they can deal with it

  • blaze_zeroblaze_zero Registered User regular
    Yeah, I know. Lots of unnecessary crying.

  • DreikoDreiko 正義の鉄槌 Registered User regular
    He only really was top tier in EX, in CT he was meh, in CS2 B, in CS1 something like A-, people initially thought he was top tier in CS1 due to things like double bellial edge combos and then people started using Bang and Litchi lol.

    Azrael infinite found, supposedly. It's on Nico though, so I can't see it.

    It's not really an infinite as much as an infinite-hitstun blockstring, it seems as something you just block until you get enough meter to counter assault out of. The most damage it did was a measly 2k, Azunyan can get much more than that off of a confirmed JA.

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    as for the new characters: people have absolutely no idea what to do against amane so they're getting straight murdered by drill chip, azrael is doing work just because people aren't accustomed to his slayer-style teleport dash, and bullet players need to figure out ways to get in on people

    I am having a great time playing amane but what you do against him is pretty obvious. Get in his face and rush his shit down. If you are in his face he can't set up ground drills, he can't use his C attacks, and he can't really use his drive (too long of a start up, generally). You will notice that good Amane players spend a lot of meter on his CA just to create breathing room. Or on his start up invuln distortion drive, but either way Amane is looking as spending 50 meter to have a solid answer to pressure. Also, his drills are only okay at level 1, but really scary at level 3. People will eventually learn to respect level 3 Amane more.

    Super fun character though!

    I saw someone go OD instantly as the match begun so as to benefit from lvl 3 drills right away. Would you say that's an applicable strategy to start strong?

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    It's a roll of the dice. You get your drill to level 3, sure. But maybe you eat a combo from the enemy and get corner carried and then have to survive in the corner without a burst while your drill loses heat.

    Or you know, you catch them with a combo and then get them in the corner and chip away half their life with drills.

    It's a fun start but it can be a bit all or nothing.

    anime fighter commentators always somehow manage to be worse than non-anime fighter commentators, on average

    which is impressive

  • BeezelBeezel There was no agreement little morsel..Registered User regular
    It's like they feel they have a rep to protect. like the non anime fighting communities will see them as less than weeaboo animu fighting nerds because "Hey look guys we can shit talk too!"

    Not always. I love James Xie on the mic. Him and the other dude who's name I forgot on Arcade Infinity's old channel were my favorite.

    Dacidbro is a pretty good announcer, Xie too. I've met Xie in person at a super arcade tourney and he's a pretty good organizer too, he had his own megaphone too. xD

    Sorry, had to do stuff. :( I'll atone next time you're available.


    And as much as regular FTG commentators talk smack about BB, maybe they're justified.

    I find this dichotomy of "anime" vs "not anime" hilarious when Street Fighter, the game where one of the main villains turned super saiyan 2 (even electricity is there) and which has japanese calligraphy-like brush strokes for shoryuken and stuff, is included in the "not anime" group.


    SF has had actual anime made about it even, multiple ones! I just don't get where these people come from when they blast games like BB and then go on back to their kamehameha-lookalike spaming game and pretend they're not being hypocrites while they do so.
