i agree once saki has 2 meter with tekka, you lose 20-30k HP and you cannot block it.
haha yeah. Just give her a meter engine, DHC that bitch in and prepare for the arpe.
Watch every team be like x character + saki.
Buktooth: If that’s true I might just give her a shot then. Gonna have to go mess around with it.
3 meters, but yeah. Its fucked up.
It’s cool, just jump…forever… 
Doesnt work. Its free on incoming characters, and she can use her excellent jump B to get you to fall into position for it.
I was joking anyways because she can hit you when you land, otherwise i’ve been hit with grenade into super plenty of times trying to jump in on her.
You can variable counter through the shot. You’ll still take a pretty good amount of damage, but if you have the reaction time I think it’s worth it to use a meter to save yourself from at least 10k damage.
I see where you’re coming from but against a really good player it’s actually hard to keep your meter at 3 or above. I don’t know about you guys but the people I play force me to Mega Crash a lot more than I like. For the most part, if I don’t Mega Crash I’m gonna eat a full on extended combo + whatever special they have meter for at the moment. Somehow I doubt Saki will be exempt from Mega Crashing so it might not be as easy as some of you think to build up that much meter…at least not consistently. Only time will tell though…after all, she is a range (camping/turtle) character. It might be a lot easier for her to avoid getting hit.
What I am wondering right now is the lack of Variable Counter.
Wanna elaborate a little bit…?
That much is true. Unless you’re completely dominating a match you’re usually sitting at like 2, maybe 3. Less than 2 and you’re in the danger zone. That’s why I was saying characters that do meterless damage will probably be really good in the end though since most meter will = megacrash so you don’t die, lol.
Especially with level 3’s, I feel bad using them unless it’s to kill the other guy since I know I coulda put it to better use just saving it for crash. The worst is landing a level 3 and then getting hit and wishing you still had that meter. I generally stay away from level 3 supers unless I’m sitting on 5. I wonder how characters that rely on meter will do in the end?
So… how “far” are each character against another?
I mean I think everyone can compete if that’s what you’re asking. There are no god awful characters, just prepare to block a lot and not do much if you pick Alex or Souki going up against someone that can rush. Outside of Karas, I don’t see any of the matchups being really terrible for certain characters, maybe just slightly disadvantaged.
Samurai, what about the PTX/lightan vs Tekkaman matchup. x_x
But besides the two giants, I agree. This game seems balanced enough so far.
i personally dont do the 3 meter duo thing with saki that often. i just find a chance to charge up the unblockable, land it, do 50%+ with ryu assist and get a free charge again
the combo off the unblockable shot builds up like 85% meter too, like 130% meter if you combo into the shot
It generally seems like everyone can fight everyone, and if that’s the case, tier will simply come down to who has more match ups in their advantage and who has match up advantage against the more popular character/characters with the most match ups.
This excludes the giants. Lightan is 3S Sean and PTX is Dan Hibiki. They wont be getting much respect until someone starts being GOOD with them. Until then, they’re seen as jokes.
I can’t ever picture that robots getting big after seeing what tekkaman / karas / casshern / morrigan / alex can do to them. It’s just not fair >_<
Yeah the only thing that the robots have going for them is that they can’t get stunned or juggled, but then when they just add a bunch of people who can totally stun/juggle/throw/whatever them it just makes their life miserable.
I’s really sad, because right now notody is playing the giants at their maximum potential (people forget to use baroque, make common PTX mistakes, etc.) but in the end, they will always be raped by a rather large handful of characters who have idiotic throw setups on them.
I played Lightan and PTX for an hour last night in an unrecorded session. Ask j1n, im getting a lot closer to their potential. I currently think Lightan will end up mid tier, and PTX can win IF he gets a 2nd rocket launcher luckily, but is still low/bottom tier. PTX can deal with some of Lightan’s bad matchups, btw.
Do you even have the game yet, Squirrel?
