"at the V13 hate. Hakumen freaking destroys her."
No, he really, really doesn't.
"Not at high level play. A very good Hakuman has a good chance at beating a good Nu (IF he can get in), but Nu is higher tier than Hakumen. A good Nu player shuts out all options."
A character being on a higher tier does not necessarily mean that they have a good matchup against someone on a lower tier than them. In this case, however, Nu does happen to be a very, very bad matchup for Hakumen.

"I don't know a single character that has a good matchup against Nu."
That's not really what I was getting at. I'm just pointing out that simply saying she's "higher tier" than Hakumen isn't the whole story.

I also signed up for the tourney as well. I've just started to learn about rapid cancels, and counters with Bang. I'm also trying to tighten up my mixups, and projectiles with Rachel. I hope the tournament lands sometime on a weekday as most people are hanging out, or at work like me 
.
Edit: Taokaka can get in any characters face with her drives as far as I know.

Well, out of all the characters, Rachel is probably the easiest to get in into Nu... still means I gotta work hard at it though. When in doubt, counter pick with Nu!

Any character that can exert good close-range pressure is Nu's weakness, especially if they can move across the screen rapidly, like Taokaka.

You aren't playing Nus that are very good. Hakumen is a bad matchup against Nu. His attacks are slow and big, so he can't keep the pressure on her. He moves slowly, too, which means Nu can easily zone him.

The physical form of blasphemy
Hakumen sucks copious amounts against V-13. We aren't even playing super high level (still upgrading our skills) and me and my friends came to that conclusion instantly.
Hakumen's counter: LOL D LOL
Hakumen's large sword swings: LOL D LOL - Dash in during recovery/grab - LOL C LOL
Hakumen's super: LOL D LOL
He gets zoned out all day long...for free. She can't get hit by him though. Her poor life goes down the drain.
If Nu should get anything, it's the Rom Infinite.
Omfg @ the unlimited characters. lol

Just want to request for picture so I can compare. >.>

Was messing around with Arakune in training the other day, and I've got a few questions for all you Arakune mains out there.
Is there any use for 5A other than to combo into 6B? I didn't have force counter hit on, but it couldn't even combo into 5B properly. Seems like a bit of a useless move unless you really want to push them away (by following up with 6B). 2A seems better in most cases.
And what's a reliable way to combo into 5C? It's great for starting air combos, but it comes out slow enough that it seems like I can't combo into it from anything. Is it possible, or is the move meant to be more strictly an anti-air move? I wasn't really playing around with counter hits too much so I guess it could be the problem...
He's pretty fun character to play, but I have the problem of not knowing how to capitalize on my curses effectively. I mostly just resort to trying to trap with 6D, 2D and clouds, which usually doesn't last too long.

I need some tips on taking on Tager with Jin, I have a buddy on live that uses tager and %75 percent of the time he always comes out on top. I've gotten where I can keep it close, but he just blocks blocks blocks until I fuck up and then puts in a rediculous amount of damage combo...I need to be able to to destroy him!

Thanks, I'm finally getting the hang of Bang, and Rachel. I may have 2 wins, but I'm picking up rounds, and finally learning mixups, and pressure. Can't wait for the tourney

No kidding... Kiunch is a beast... He got much better since we last fought (last week) and he went like 11-3 or something.
He adapts really fast... I would change tactics, beat him a round, and he would've adapted by then. At least I started to fall less for the random air DDs by the end of the night

Feels decent. I had no gripes playing with mine. Moved to an SE, eventually settling on a TE since then.Kuugrr said:
