Just so long as you keep the fuckin mouse cursor off the screen XP.
You know I multitask like a mofo :P.
I’m getting better about that.
So I did go and try Marissa, and what do you know, I actually like her bullets and some of her alt skill cards. She still irritates me though.
I updated the Reisen wiki with some more combos, got rid of some incorrect/outdated information and added some new sections for tricks and such. I’m going to do some deck related stuff later.
I found a midscreen b&b combo for her which deals about 2400 damage which is a midscreen varient of one of her corner combos, but it’s a little shaky on some of the smaller characters. Everything has to be done really fast and sometimes it only works with a bit of forward momentum such as with Reisen coming out of a dash.
She also has a funny dash A combo that lets her drop the opponent behind her, which makes for a nice position swap in the corner.
Sorry to revive this topic but…
patch 10.1 has come out and
edit: Holy crap wtf did they do to Reisen? They literally took away everything…everything that makes her Reisen. They nerfed her spread shot to hell and back to the point where it fails to hit the opponent on block half of the time. Pushback on blocked B bullets is absolutely horrible and voids a great deal of her midscreen pressure.
Been distracted by other games XP. You reminded me that I needed to update the OP anyway.
I’m not very happy with what they did to Reisen in 1.10 either. The nerf was really uncalled for. They did try to buff Alice at least, but it doesn’t seem like it’s enough.
Sanae and Suwako had the biggest changes. They practically feel like completely different characters now.
Well Reisen can still do corner chip damage loops and she has a guard crush airtight blockstring now, but like…everything else was nerfed to the moon and back. Mind Bending absolutely sucks now. Her bullet stun overall was lessened so her midscreen air combos are really hard to do now. And like…wtf they literally nerfed EVERYTHING good about her other than her ok mobility and her dash.
I really like what they did to some of the other characters though. Iku and Komachi for one. They really fixed her healing attack.
I’m guessing Tasofro just really wants her to be a guard crush/blockstring focused character and doesn’t think she should be well rounded. That’s really the only justification I can think of. I’ll still use the Potion Bunny build, so it doesn’t really faze me, but I liked her actually being good.
I’m also really irritated that Royal Flare has been completely nerfed to uselessness again. Without it, Patchouli’s effectiveness really goes down. I guess I can’t complain too much because she got a less randomized Silent Selene and still retains a lot of the projectile coverage she needs, but still- I might as well not bring Royal Flare at all now -_-. So lame.
I think my favorite change personally is Sanae. Her chara redesign was almost completely for the better in every way. She is ridiculously fun to play now.
But if they wanted her to be a blockstring guard/crush character, then why the hell did they remove all of her legit midscreen blockstrings?
The only thing I like about new reisen is that her poison potion seems to do more damage and her new guard crush/chip damage combo in the corner is very easy and good since it starts from a 66A (which is what you’ll be using to pin people in the corner much of the time anyway.)
But still…you’re not going to get chip damage midscreen unless you’re using alt SRK flicker move, which is kind of unsafe on block in the corner.
I didn’t know her mid-screen blockstrings were removed entirely. That’s even more terrible >_<.
I have to wonder where the justification for this came from then. It’s not like there were Reisens totally dominating Bullet Action the 6th.
The timing on all her corner blockstrings is very strict now too, also they nerfed the hitbox of j.2C and nerfed the stun on her B bullets, made them push back if blocked which removes a lot of her midscreen pressure. Nerfed her best alt 236 skill to the point of uselessness outside of combos (said combos have very strict timing now) and her melee moves seem to do even less damage than before. Nerfed the stun on her 5C bullets, nerfed the damage on a full charged 5C bullet, blah blah blah. It’s totally unjustified and I hope Tasafro understands what they did in time for the next patch. I was all “well as long as she can still do her pressure.” but honestly she has a hard time getting anyone to the corner now and keeping them in.
Overall, the nerf to the B bullets and the small hitbox on j.2C is what annoys me the most though.
Actually, I’m starting to take back what I said about Reisen. She can still do chip pressure just fine in the corner, and her new bullet pushback actually lets her get the opponent to the corner easier. She got some really nice new tricks with her Eye Cleaning card now raping projectiles on screen while it’s charging, and other nice stuff like that.
Potion bunny isn’t worth it anymore. The buff is so negatory it can’t justify spending 3 cards each time and leaving yourself open. May as well just use control rods instead.
I’ve been messing about with her UV field more as well as her alt 22 teleport card, both of which are surprisingly awesome. 22 teleport is an AGRESSIVE movement manuevre. One use of that thing and you are right up in your opponent’s face at a hard angle to deal with. Just perfect for Reisen pressure fun.
I also added a new b&b combo to the wiki and some other stuff. People should play this more.
Sorry to triple post, but the wiki says that there was a 2010 tournament in Bullet Action 7th, but I can’t find any publically uploaded videos of this yet.
Despite the fact that pretty much nobody cares about or plays this game at the moment, I’ve still been editing the wiki. The Reisen section has some interesting new stuff I found. She is still pretty good in 1.10 so long as you don’t go for a potion bunny build (totally not worth it anymore).
Actually there’s always players available on IRC. I still have no idea why you don’t show up regularly. We have the replays in our topic.

That just directs me to the japanese yahoo site. I can’t see any video links at all. Are they still up?
you have to copy/paste the url
Ah thanks.
for anyone who’s interested I’ve done a pretty extensive comb through of the wiki. I’ve added a few nice things here and there for other characters besides reisen too, but I need to get up to date with how the current metagame is going.
edit: can anyone tell me how to view these replays? Copying and pasting to the replay folder doesn’t seem to work.
They do for me using Japanese locale (AppLocale seems to work as well), though the Japanese will show up as gibberish if you’re using the English patch. That said, the replays in the larger zip (at least from the file hosted on the tournament’s site) don’t seem to be for Hisoutensoku…they remained grayed out.
yeah, it’s not even showing up in my replay list in-game. I guess I should try it with a locale to see if that will make a difference.
edit: while browsing around looking for an answer to my problem, I found a program that kills the weather in SWR. Is that really tournament standard? If so, then that’s pretty cool, but a little unexpected.
It should. While trying to see why those other replays weren’t watchable someone in a soku thread on Poolshmer mentioned that locale can cause them to be greyed out, though you could also just extract the .rep files into the folder and watch them that way.
