That’s a fucking uterus.
I’d say poor mobility is the “balance” for Dark Saber as she can easily put out 6k-7k out of nothing and no meter. And once she gets close she has really good crossups and pressure. DS seems to get the most possible damage with the other person at the end of the screen so she doesn’t have to worry about stuff like pushback from dark slashes. I’ve been wondering if 236b could block projectiles on the first slash, but even if it did I imagine it wouldn’t block gates.
It doesn’t, Gil will slap you for trying. You best believe DSaber gets punked by every Gil projectile. I’d take regular Saber over DSaber against Gil any day.
Kirei’s black keys are godlike, if you’re not using them for pressure then your Kirei is gonna suck.
You can do stuff like knockdown into meaty j236a into 6c over head or 2a.
You can also fish for counter hits by throwing keys, out of a back dash or jump in.
Key pressure into throw mix up is good at the wall too, its a free wall loop if you land it.
using black keys is perfectly fine and solid
stop trying to go from i just turned my ps2 on to OMG 11 MONTHS OF EXPIERENCE
…those 10 keys are enough per round anymore would make Kirei retarded like gilgamesh. You can kill a guy with just using like 4-6 keys in pressure strings if you’re good. And good luck rushing down other characters with more range than you (ex. Lancer) or are firing projectiles at you (ex. Gilgamesh). You can cancel his 6c overhead into 214c to make it a low instead if you think they are gonna block high… his 6c also can tag sidesteps…
There was no misinterpretation on your part. That ‘SCREW you’ was directed towards your av and sig (Rin hater) 
I should have specified more, but was typing in a rush.
I played a little training mode and a few matches with my friend, and this game is my new addiction. I need to look up notations and vids to figure out how to end/continue Rin’s BnB, but what I’ve managed to do from memory in about 20 minutes is pretty good. lol
I’m gonna have to study hardcore for Saber and Bazette however :sad:
So how do I use Bazett’s 214214A/B/C Orbs to counter other people’s supers? I’m in training mode trying to set this up. I got the grail going, I got an orb out, the dummy is doing a super, and I’m mashing A+B+C, but nothing is happening.
just messing around I came up with this for bezett
a, 2b, b, 6b, c, 6c(first hit), 236a (b to power up your legs), b, 6b, c, 6c, 236a (a to power up your hands, b, 6b, c, 6c, 236 b, b, 46 a, a, b, 623 a, ja, jb, 214 b, a, b, 124 a.
Thats all I got right now but she is pretty free combowise just sit down in practice mode and have fun with her.
Oh, I just did it. Neat. Does this only work against certain supers?
Make sure you’re pressing it the moment you see the super startup. You can’t do it any later which throws out the ability to reaction activate to counter a super. It also probably only works on supers that are like ranged in some way and not supers that “catch” you in it right away. Remember that it always trades and doesn’t counter Lancer lol
I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to play some this morning… It’s 6 now and I feel ready to shower, then go to work!
I find it funny how the Figma box has shameless plug for Saber and Rin Figmas on the flaps.
PS - Fuck Kirei, bitches.
From what I know (and GOOGLE’d) there is not a bundle pack with the joystick (Pfft I’d get that over the figma). Only one with the figma for now.
(Thanks for the combos Project) :lovin:
Been practicing Rin, and I must say she isn’t as hard as I thought. Her 623A > 6239C TK isn’t nearly as daunting as I thought it would be…doing it mid-combo might be a different story. Right now, I’m just trying to get down the timing for her 623A > j.B > 236A > j.B > 5B reps. The window is small for the j.B and 5B to connect properly, but not impossible.
Rin’s combos aren’t actually that hard, the only hard thing is indeed the TK cancel during a combo.
I am going to be playing a few games with a friend later on. I am gonna try to get some recorded if i can. And sorry before hand for the super scrubbiness that is our gameplay if i do get the chance to record them.
Isn’t Rin considered a ‘easy’ char in this game in terms of execution? So far, I’ve seen that being said about her, Saber and Lancer when I look around strat sites and BBS.
Rin’s definitely one of the easier chars (though I’d say shiro, saber, lancer are easier) and her TK cancel’s not hard at all. In fact, I’d say the hardest thing about her bnb is the j.b-236a. (Hardest in that it’s the hardest thing to hit consistently)
If you’re gonna make up words, at least make it sound good! :shake:
You guys have to remember that this is me we’re talking about. lol
I havent worked with 228c much with Archer…but I haven’t gotten the results I wanted when I was trying.
Personally I want someone to explain Archer’s caladbolg combo that incorporates
juggling with the spammed 2cs. No matter how often I watch vids of it, I’ve yet to pick up on exactly what is happening after they launch their opponent and go to switch to bow mode.
I am assuming its 228c , and that’s why I am asking someone to shed some light on the subject.
