"You will show me the power of the Azure."-General Relius Thread

Current Fighting Games BlazBlue
1

Didn’t see a thread like this, so I figured I’d make it while I can. Everyone seems to be all up in Persona’s ass lately, so the BB threads have been relatively lifeless.

Anyway, this will be a general discussion thread for Relius. I might post some combo vids and whatnot when I find them, advanced tactics, bad matchups, general tech, ect. We’re just pretty much trying to discover the ins and outs of Relius as a character. For now, let’s go over some pros as to why he is a character worth paying attention to:
-Good Corner Combos
-Dat damage

-Good keepaway game
-11,000 health
-Good Dash
-Frame Traps

-Ect ect ect

In terms of his defensive options, from the Wiki:

“On defense, Relius has a few options but they are generally situational. He in invulnerable to all attacks except for throws during 236A, but can still be punished during the recovery. If Ignis is out, a 6D or 2D can be used to make 236A safe if the opponent blocks, and can even lead to pressure of your own. However Ignis is not always out during the opponent’s pressure, so this option is not always available. Relius can also use his distortions as reversals, though only 632146C has invincibility from frame one, and they are all unsafe on block with the exception of 236236D. If 236236D is used to get out of pressure, it will usually lead to a combo or pressure of your own unless the opponent manages to avoid it entirely. Even this option is not completely reliable, as it requires 50 heat to use and does not have frame 1 invincibility, although a trade with 236236D will almost always end up in your favor. Counter assaults are also another helpful tool to getting out of pressure, though they cost 50 heat as well and can still be baited. Relius’ counter assault also does not have the best range (the same hitbox as 5C), so be careful when using it to ensure that it connects with your opponent.”

Will post combo information as well.

Bumping. There isn’t nearly enough activity in this subforum. :shake:

Just go to dustloop, they already have an entire Relius section done, not to discredit the effort you put into this, also everyone’s waiting for CP, I usually recommend everyone just hit the BB forums on dustloop that’s where a majority of this games community is at and they’re all waiting for BBCP as well as myself. GG is now the relevant game for a while.
