Lilica is the girl in Woofs avatar that says “Lilica”
The puppet girl is Lisolette, and to get technical, it’s not a puppet, it’s a doll. She’s not techincally controlling it, its kinda alive on its own. Pretty creepy and it has wierd screeching sound effects when it comes out of the suitcase, but i guess goth 10 year old girls are into that, so whatever. Anyways, there’s no vids of her, but she’s deadly in the right hands, and thankfully, my best competitor here uses her as opposed to a boring character like Kamui.
Oh yeah i forgot to mention that i was there when nobody else was playing so i tried Maori in single player. Pretty much, all i have for combos are:
ABC 623C 9HC j.A j.B j.C
ABC (using plant arcana) 236236D
Aside from that, yeah, not much else i could find. She seems like she could do stuff if i had the right arcana and knew the right tricks, but im too lazy to figure that out with her, and i’d rather focus my efforts on figuring out more Lilica tricks than anything. I figured since Maori is the only character i havent seen in competent hands, that i’d try her out myself, but she seems like a bit too much work for my liking. The setups are cool and i can see how they’de be strong, but man, too much work for me. Characters like that require too much thought, and i dont quite have the “think 3 steps above your opponent” mindset.
Oh yeah, another use for the Ice arcana is that the little ice things can sometimes act as shields. If youre getting hit and then the opponent hits the ice thing, the hit ONLY registers to the ice block and will probably give you a chance to tech away safely. Not that it’s worth using more than the other ones, but just A use. Light arcana ftw.
BTW i love how Lilica refers to herself as Lilica-chan. Too cute. She’s so awesome. There’s nothing better than liking the character you use as a main the best.
My game is mainly doing a lot of instant air dashes and quick ground hits to get the bread and butter. Once i hit with that, i try to find a way to hit with either air jabs or to pressure them on the ground again. If i’m far away, i can lazer or light ball. I poke a lot with 2B to keep the opponent on their toes. If i’m close enough, i can still do 2C after that and get my juggle, if i’m really far away (since 2B has longer range than 2C, and 2B pushes the opponent back a little, naturally) i can still hit it and then use that to gain offensive momentum. Then i mix up with throws and such. Pretty basic compared to what it looks like Kaneda is doing, but it’s kind of hard to explain cause a lot of it is running around and air dashing and canceling to get those few hits in to get the main juggles and such. Wish i could show vids, though if i make it to semifinals this weekend, maybe they’ll put the vids up on their website like they do with Soul Calibur III. But as of this point, i’m just hoping not to get last. I figure without really knowing what the “real” competition is like, it’s a safe bet that i could go out first round very easily. My hope is to not, and then from there, once i establish the good competition, i can set my goals a bit different. Of course, with single elim, one match, 2 rounds most likely, anything can happen.
