I use j.B (beats out like almost everything), j.C (in place), air throw, and if you’ve got balls 236 B/C. Really you should almost never be on the ground, and more worried about air to air normals then anti air normals, at least IMHO.
j.C has super armor on it, just time it right I think. 623+C can work too, just not as a real general AA.
I didn’t knew Tsukihime was a Hentai Doujin game, I thought it was more of a digital comic that had lots of violence, then Melty Blood came after, then an anime!
I love Akiha Vermillion’s voice when she does her specials and Neko-Arc’s voice when she talks to certain characters.
i was specifically referring to held shield > 623a, not ex shield > any move. held shield can only be cancelled by specials, and while 623a seems like a somewhat decent dp, the reason people don’t use the move by itself a lot is because it has clash property only on the rise and the second part of the move is completely vulnerable.
most japanese players seem to agree that shield > 623a is a relatively safe option for aoko, and if you watch match vids you will see it a lot. gintoki at d-ken in particular spams the hell out of it.
if i remember it correctly for ciel’s 214a/b, the a version can have up to 3 follow up’s while b version can have up to 4 using the a button. i might be wrong though.
I embarassly admit that I don’t know either. Just try switching up using 214(A/B) in a sequence…I’m sure you’ll find how it goes…if someone here already doesn’t know.
Ciel: 214a has no follow up. If it connects it sets opponent on fire. 214b has a few different followups. the A follow up is good because it covers a lot of space, for the third the B one combos if the first two hit on the ground. I do it for chip on block. I don’t know if the fourth is good or not, but I don’t use it.
aoko notes:
*as orka mentioned a few posts ago, the 2nd hit of aoko123 can be canceled into a special. unfortunately, any specials performed w/ the c button (412c/ex/arc drive) will result in the last hit of 123 being executed instead. that sucks =/ .
