|| Noel || Blonde and Loaded ( Not where it matters though ;_; )

Is there anything you can do after you 6A somebody out of the air with just the tip of your foot?

Just played a good Litchi today, seems all her pokes outrange mine and once she scores a knockdown and I get put into the corner, I become helpless. :[

I’m having the hardest time with the combo:
6b, 3c, 22c, 6c, 22c, 66c, 22c bla bla bla…

The issue I’m facing is after the first 22c. The 6c never hits and it’s driving me crazy. What’s the timing on that like? Fast or slow?

Here is a video to make it easier to understand. I’m talking about the combos 6 and 7.

USf: Depending on the distance you connect the 3C with, you may need to dash to connect the first 6C (i.e. 66C.) In combo 7 shes just about at the maximum range where she doesn’t have to dash for the 6C to connect.

What can Noel do after landing a 2D without meter? In the corner its easy for me to follow with 28D, then 6C -> j.c. -> jB -> jC -> j236C; however, if I’m not near a corner, it seems like Spring Raid knocks them too far away to do anything, and it recovers too slow to follow up with 66C (or so it seems to me.) I found you can RC the Spring Raid immediately into her D->6B->C->6B->C drive string, but does she have any other good options? Can you continue this combo midscreen without meter or do you need to RC the Spring Raid to continue?

Thanks jodonnell, I’ll try that in training tomorrow. Now it’s bedtime.

You never played Ragna or Jin

or Saki, Ciel

Or Zangief.

Heart’s harder than Noel… I don’t think so.

Brandino, you’re SOOOO WRONG about Ragna. Jin maybe is easier than Noel, but not Ragna.

I went from maining Noel immediately to playing Ragna and he’s WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY harder than playing Noel, hands down.

You can beat people with Noel literally only using D; it’s silly, but fun as hell.

I actually quit using her because I found it too easy…

yeah try to get in on a good Nu player only using D and see how far that gets you.

…well I don’t mean to say you could beat EVERYONE with only D, but you should’ve got what I meant.

well yeah D is her Drive, it should be the main focus of attacks and almost everything else should be a set up for those attacks basically considering the amount of damage they do…

her B&b combos arent easy btw. at least to me they arent.

That’s a great idea, so all those characters who own her D strings for free can rape her! Forget using her high priority pokes and safe stuff, let’s use the D button!

LMAO

Try playing against someone w/ a brain.

haha well I guess Im wrong. but I dont have a lot of exp. but I dont think Noel is an easy character in this game by any means.

I dont know many of her high priority pokes aside from 6A and C.

are you insinuating that the people he plays suck so bad it’s as if they don’t have a brain?

Mad - Well, 6A is good anti-air, yes. j.A and j.B are both REALLY strong air to air. j.C is strong air to ground. 5A is retarded good, hits crouchers and can combo into 6A. 5B has long range and it’s main downfall is lack of ability to jump cancel it, and that it whiffs on certain characters for no reason. 6C is godlike, too. If you’re smart and use the drive moves ALONG with those things, the results can turn out well, but if you’re focusing on drive moves, you’re gonna get owned. Even Noel vs Noel is easy for me if my opponent presses the D button too much, cause if I see them do stuff, then I just do 2D or 5D and it’ll beat whatever they do for the most part.

I see. Good info. Is 6C good with the 2nd hit or only the first hit since it can start a loop?

Yes yes, she has plenty of pokes and other STUFF, but as already stated her Drive is the focus. 4D,6d,2d, so on and so on; who exactly “owns” her drive combos? I’ve yet to play someone that could completely lock me out of using them. The only character I had annoyances with, while using her was Bang (and Jin…), but only because of his counter move.

Play people with a brain? I guess sitting in ranked mode waiting for matches for a few hours would never bring one of those…

I’d have to say Noel is quite possibly the easiest pick up character…ofcourse that’s just my opinion.

I’ll let you play and figure that out.

:coffee:

But I main Ragna now D:
