Guard Master is about only 130% extra defense. Though, the moment they have a dodge gap, it does become a pain in the ass. You might as well find some way around by either using items, or applying constant pressure. Only fools rush in. It took me a while to grasp this concept, and it can be forgotten if you let your emotions sway you with salt in this game, which can happen a lot. =/
Teamwork > Guard Master. If you pile on, they have no where to run and as long as no one grabs to reset their shield. It WILL break. Watch for it.
Poles > Master Evader. Yep.
Course if the room is flooded with any given ability, it completely changes everything, again. Seriously though. These abilities make the game less fun, you should be punished for excessive guarding and you should be punished for excessive rolling. Outside interference shouldn’t have to be required to fucking beat you using those abilities, and it is, for the most part. Unless your enemy is an idiot.
Also you guys completely overlook Oinkie, he has the easiest loop in the game that basically forces a 360 the moment he even touches you. If that isn’t dangerous I don’t know what is.
The only thing that holds him back is the inability to combo into his aHKW and if he could, he’d be too good.
Yeah yeah it’s nor just graphics, I got hit twice too. Never happened again tho, remember the player name by any chance?
Despite me being on that Japanese team… heh… if it’s any consolation, I fought that team a little earlier than that and I got my shit wrecked as well. So, I know that feel completely.
…Can I come out of my corner now? D:
Something something with a bunch of numbers on the end of it. I kind of hoped it had been stored on my players met but low and behold… nope.
Edit: Actually, it is. Cordebiere1985. I checked the account, it’s a dummy account and its actually french. Actually, couldn’t have been witch since I’ve never had 3 bars with him. Ah well, I’m wondering if its just a side effect of maybe spamming your aHKW.
Heel KICK-KICK is not something I want to see again.
Oinkie is an honorable mention. Wish his dash attack was better…
As SRK’s #1 resident Zero, I need a gdlk Zero avatar. I wish there was more gdlk Anarchy Reigns art out there…
lol I just remembered why I stopped playing this online. Waaaay to much damn lag. Too many people (Rins) getting to guard after unsafe strings, lock-on randomly deselecting even though I didn’t touch the stick, and stupid clashes. Doesn’t help that 99% of Rins suck at this game, so it just annoys me that the fight with them lasted longer than 2 seconds when I should’ve been able to dead them for their stupidity ages ago.
Must be nice for you guys to have the majority of the playerbase over in your region. Thank god for Zero’s KWHx2.
So are they really really good? Or really really bad?
Nope.
S: Bayo, Ai Rin, Fei Rin
A: Durga, Rin Rin, Zero, Douglas, Gargoyle, Max, Baron, Oinkie
B: Leo, Garuda, Sasha
C: Mathilda, Jack
D: Big Bull

S: Bayo
Explain.
If it’s a good Bayo player, one good hit and you’re finished.
She has an amazing damage output, ridiculous combos, great range, fast attack speed, her air KWL is great and high damage, access to all the multi-character glitches(most notably the air KW glitch), her KWL string has huge hitboxes, infinite combo, fast and extremely damaging KWH.
I don’t know what her weakness is, all I can really say is that she has a shitty 360 attack.
Thankfully most Bayo players are ass and they just spam KWH and grab, which isn’t that bad if you’re attentive.
being completely honest though I never used her and this comes from feedback of people that do, videos, and just fighting again her and studying her.
Speaking of Bayo, I was looking on the inside of my case and there’s a Bayo code in it.
I doubt it works seeing as how I bought AR from Japan last year, I don’t want it anyway.

Shit forgot to put Baron on the good list lol
Anyone with a dive move or dash attack that isn’t ass for awesome shield pressure and easy 100% damaging combo or setup is good.
Those are only good for noobs and people who don’t know how to get away without help.
I run either Killjoy or Power leveler.
Killjoy because I love stealing kills, and with most of the characters I use a charged KWH + Killjoy buff(+80% damage I think) it’s usually an instant kill to both the target and the person I’m stealing kills from. No one ever expects it because no one ever uses it, at least not that i’m seen.
Powerleveler because the key to winning is momentum, once you get going your points keep getting higher, you get more points for high killstreaks, not to mention the extra KW bars off of only one kill, and the fact that you’ll be level three within the first couple of minutes of a match if you know how to steal kills or finish people off quickly. This perk is really only good for big characters though, because you have a lot of KW meter to work with and your already large amount of health/defense is even larger.
Ok. Maybe you need to play her yourself to understand. Her pressure is higly unsafe with no chase potential. So you literally have to make a mistake or get caught off guard for her to actually hit you. I think she’s A but that’s only because of what she can do when she hits you. Outside of her getting a touch she’s not that good. Although I guess her options for crowd control are extremly strong too so that adds to her worth given the nature of the game.
Japan is that good… They play amazing as a team but the lag between us makes it hard to punish their stupid shit. It would be kinda even if there wasn’t any lag.
Give the Bayo code to Shizzlee or someone with a japanese copy that doesn’t have her yet(It could still work). Haven’t fought a good Rin? Fight mine =D
Bayo is just 1 touch death. If you think her pressure is ass? Answer me this: Have you ever cancelled her jabs into dash attack? Cause that is pretty good. Reasons as to why she is up there? Damage, some of her moves are multi hit and cause some easy stun and w.e I didn’t mention that dactyl said up there. Rins are more brain dead and have better than her but she can technically be as good as them. “All I need in my life is jump killer weapon light.”

You’re probably right.
Her chasing ability isn’t important, you don’t have to chase if you’re hitting people who are distracted or stunned, and both of those things aren’t hard to come by.
In team modes if the enemies are that amazing at running it isn’t hard to follow around a teammate(or teammates) and try to gang up on someone(s) until you either get a hit or their guard breaks.
And in a smaller game modes there aren’t any places to run.
When I say chase I don’t mean keeping up with people that are running away. I mean being able to maintain pressure on people who sidestep around you and stuff. All of her enders are highly unsafe and she has no lean game.
Yeah I started playing her for a while when I thought she was broken after I got hit with the infinite. I quickly realized how poop all of her heavy attacks were. Her best move is heavyx3 because of the tracking bit it’s risky because of the start up. Her dash isnt that good compared to the likes of Gargoyle, Zero, Leo, and Douglas imo, and her lean is useless. She’s great at sniping people and handling crowds but gets exposed in fair fights which is why I wouldn’t put her at the very top; especially when compared to Fei Rin who is godlike in every single situation. That’ just me though.
Agreed with Gomu, unlike the rins bayonetta has a lot of openings, a LOT. I jab through her jabs all the time, her basic strings aren’t even as good as the rins. With rins, you either get stunned trying to counter their jabs or you clash. She’s got better combo potential off her heavies and delays than the rins do, but rins have better options overall. Better jab pressure.
Also, don’t you guys find it funny there are literally no rins that abuse the hell out of W-W-H-H? It forces hard knockdown, and online, they can actually follow up for free. That’s pretty stupid, chalking it up to “dur all I know is aKWL” = 99% rins.
It’s just shes glitchy as fuck and brings a plethora of BS lag combos into the mix that no other character can do. She’s got at LEAST 3 different ways of combo’ing into her ground cinematic that I know of.
H-*W-KWH
W-W-H-KWH
W-*W-KWH
I mean, I bet there’s more. It’s just stupid. Thankfully, like someone pointed out already most bayo’s are complete ass and only rely on WWH-AA-KWL-KWH glitch.
Plus, once they 360 it’s fucking over. I have a big issue with her shield though, I can never tell how much damage I’m doing to it, or if the online is playing tricks on me. The big god damn black crest gets in the way of the actual visual queues so you never know that heavy you just did actually connected, only way to tell is if she starts stumbling backward.

I guess you’re right.
I never had any problems fighting her outside of her crazy good KW attacks, that’s only if she gets the jump on me or I fuck up my defense.
