It grinds my gears that this game doesn’t have a bigger following.
But at least there isn’t a whole legion of meat sandwiches complaining about how to “fix” the game (see every other game’s thread on SRK).
It wouldn’t be bad, but this game is dead in the U.S.
It wouldn’t be that bad but every tourney I want to go to for it has like 3 entrants, and with it getting dropped at evo… fuck man might as well be a death sentence for the game over here.
always wanted to move to japan anyway, 1 million yen here i come.
Arakune was only really annoying in Vanilla when one curse meant you were cursed until you teched a throw or counter hit.
When they put the curse meter in, he only became slightly annoying.
1-2 bar ragna’s are my bane…
Losing on the last floor of an Abyss run is incredibly deflating lol…at the very least it’s being offset by the fact that I’m finally landing some of Ragna’s more advanced stuff and getting past B > C > 214A > 214D
My one complaint is that there aren’t any alt costumes. Drawback of sprites vs. 3D, I guess. A big part of the reason I love this game is the story mode, so I’d be pumped if I could play the characters in their different story mode incarnations. Something like NOL Academy costumes on Tsubaki, Jin, and Carl, or a crazy hair Hazama, or a coat-less Ragna.
I also hate that I’m so bad at it. 
Yeah, I can’t imagine the amount of man-hours that’d require and the DLC would probably be expensive as balls to make up for it, lol. If they at least had a custom color swap editor that’d be nice. I’ve always wanted a sprite-based game that let you piece together different components Soul Calibur style into a create-a-character, but I’m sure that’d be a monster pain in the ass to do well.
literally started playing this game for the first time 4 or 5 hours ago.I hate Haza with a firery passion that consumes my soul
Online Ragna players who picked him up in Extend simply because he is Top Tier.
Same Combo. Same Playstyle. Same Everything.
Free Wins, Though.
If by ‘Same Combo’ you mean B > C > 236A > 236D, he really has a lot less options without meter outside of variations of that. It’s once you get meter for a Rapid that he opens up into some sort of freestyleable play.
Nah, I mean the staple crouching.
5B > 5C > 6C > 66 > 6B > 5C > 5D(2) > 66 > 6A > j.D > j.D > Ender
Or on standing with 50 heat you can do the first hit of Hells fang from 5B > 5C and RC into 6C. Or you can go into this entire combo from 1 6B. Anywhere on the screen. Does crazy damage for such a versatile combo.
Does my head in so much.
Ragna has a myriad of options. Such as that TK GH Bullshit from 6C in the corner, TK Bellial Edge into 6B relaunch. Or my personal favourite. 6D Starters that do 5K+ Damage for jack shit. (Not counting going into BK from 6B air hit)
I’m glad I didn’t stumble across this thread until now. I probably would’ve gotten into an argument over things.
6C is slow as balls, if you get hit with it raw you deserve the combo that follows, lol. And every character can do ridiculous shit off of a confirm on a crouching opponent, 5B isn’t exactly a mixup, if you’re crouching but not blocking there’s not a lot you can do about that.

I hate having to repeatedly learn new combos for every. single.
I never said anything about Raw 6C. But, Yeah, you deserve it if you get hit.
5B isn’t a mixup, But it’s without a doubt one of (If not the best) standing pokes in the entire game along with his 5C and j.A. Getting hit by them is commonplace.
The fact the I never see any decent Taokakas :c
Also, Tager. I hate his magnetism with a burning passion.
I know of a couple of good Taos. However, most are from Japan I so gotta learn to use her as a sub though.
I hate that instead of really nerfing Hazama, they just seem to make him harder and harder to play with in each update… Honestly I think he NEEDS nerfs, but they seem to go every wrong way about it, and Hazama players just find ways around it and run his same old BS again anyways, but that translates to mid level players like me having to practically break our thumbs to get the same kind of damage that Ragnas and Valkenhayns can do while sleeping.
Seriously, I want my CS2 Haz back… This new version of him just makes me so sad D: mostly because I hate the idea of loop combos, and that Hirentotsu loop is gay, didn’t they learn anything from Lambda’s Crescent Loop? but I have to learn it or I can’t do shit damage in the corner without burning precious meter.
Gotta love dat new Valk though, so at least CS:EX isn’t all depressing…
And I can respect good Tagers in local matches, but every time I see one online I think “Welp, this guy’s connection is probably terrible” which means practically inescapable 360’s and I may as well put the controller down and go get a snack.
The worst fighting an online Tager is that if they’re connections bad enough, I’ve seen people get trapped in inescapable Tager Buster loops that do like 8k where there is literally NOTHING they can do about it.
