Sounds like you want results after less than a day. Learn your character first.
Nah, that’s not it… Learning a character is frustrating enough so, when you throw fighting against annoying shit like Noel and Arakune into the mix, it becomes rage-inducing. Like, I’m trying to figure out what my options are in certain situations, what to do for block strings, how to set up 720s, etc, and I just get jab-mashed out of everything and into 3000k combos that end in 50/50 situations.
She’s always been that one character that just pissed me off to no end lol… I’m normally not one to complain about characters, but Noel just pushes that button.
I’m going to try him out now. He has some really nice color schemes. 21 color options… Is the DLC going to offer this many to everyone else?
Btw, I fought some guy that wasn’t even on my character select screen… Looks like a Kliff reincarnation. Anyway, I got bodied. Hard. Lol… How do I unlock him?
That’s Kagura, he’s a charge character.
Unlock him by beating Chrono Phantasma story mode.
Not really, Bullet kinda sucks. 
It’s not unfair to say it’s an uphill battle when you pick one of the worst characters in the game. (Patch may fix this, Bullet got a lot of changes and I have no idea what they mean.)
All that “here’s how you beat Noel’s drives” stuff sounds good on paper, but it basically means you can’t play a poking game against her, which is a problem for characters that don’t have good lows. Though that’s not the case with Bullet, since her 2B is pretty darn good.
I kinda wish the answer for when I asked for places I missed where you could DP her that the answer wasn’t a list of “here’s how you beat her starters” though.
Why me? :shake: It’s because I play Cammy, isn’t it? :sad:
I don’t even have a DP to take advantage of the gaps in Noel’s strings. Wish she had a run instead of that wack ass dash. It’s hard to close gaps with that dash if you don’t have any Heat levels. IMO, just that one change could make her a much better character.
Bullet does have a DP. Sortof. It’s not very good, but Cutting Shear (623B) is invulnerable past the first active frame. It’s also kinda slow, but that doesn’t matter for this purpose.
Again, you just need to learn your character first. Keep in mind there are players who’ve had the game for months and already know a lot of matchups.
She’s getting some nice buffs in the patch, don’t fret.
Yes really, come on Airk. To say that the Bullet vs. Noel match-up is an uphill battle a day after purchasing the game is completely premature. Anyways, it’s not like Noel is a particularly great character either.
Yea, you’re right. I’ll stick it out and see if it improves. If not, I’ll be right back here bitching again lol.
Finally managed to find a copy of this game. I got the only copy left in my area because the only ones that sold were all pre-orders. Checking out Ragna/Valk/Azrael.
Azarel seems to be the most interesting of the 3 imo.
What’s your PSN?
Btw, you were right, Martian. Terumi’s pretty damn awesome lol.
Pretty much, by definition, it’s “an uphill battle”. He didn’t say it was “unwinnable” somesuch thing, but rather, correctly stated that, yeah, Noel has the advantage in this matchup. It’s not exactly a radical statement - you don’t need years of practice before people should believe you when you say the same thing that all the Japanese players have already told us by way of the tier list…
Where you at Hatred Edge?
As in location? South Florida. But I played someone who lived in Canada during the CT days and the connection was great.
TyrannicalHatred.
Too lazy to set up a new account. Gonna need some time to learn Azrael and Valk. Ragna’s changes aren’t too shabby but I do miss the madness of double Berial Edge combos back from CS.
I meant get in this lobby lol
What am I going to do in a lobby as of now Martian? Basic Ragna combos from the CT/CS days that probably don’t work aside from simple strings into ID/HF? Crap Carnage Scissor combos(NO GOD DAMN WALL BOUNCE)? I have the game for all of 3 hours and change.
Martian, how are you gonna tell me this character isn’t fucked? :sad:
It’s just me and him here lol… Join.
Yea, Bullet can’t do shit against Noel. Her hit boxes and invincibility beat out everything I do. Whoever’s gonna tell me I’m wrong about that and I need to learn my character, I want YOU to play her against Noel and show me what I’m supposed to be doing
You need some Inferno Dividahs. But yeah, I need to remember how to play Ragna again. I was dropping too much crap and Noel’s D nonsense kept working because I never faced a Noel before.
If you think Noel’s that bad you obviously haven’t seen a good Kokonoe player
Just give it time. Bullet can be a tough character to use in general. Besides, I was beating you with Haku too anyway…lol.
Messing around with Noel in the lab for awhile will probably help you learn when her strings end. Which is crucial to beating her. I noticed you were eating a lot of 2D’s on block as a crossup, when you should have been running or punishing. Hell with Bullet you can probably just drive right as the arc is halfway done.
I don’t think you were using your drive in general nearly enough as you should be, now that I think about it.
Either way, I’d say Litchi or even Terumi is a better matchup in your favor. Both Bullet and Noel like close quarters, the only difference is Noel’s myriad of options are usually a lot safer
It’s a moderately tough matchup but certainly not impossible
Edit: Also, it is SO fucking embarrassing when you use the wrong Optic Barrel on accident 
:sad:
