I play Taokaka so I don't get that anxiety about using a character with a bad gameplay stereotype. If you want respect, go with Litchi or Carl. A good Litchi scares the crap out of Ice car spammers.

>>34993768

Then use Noel and don't spam D. I still enjoy when I come up against a good Noel, moreso even then other characters, because it's just such a pleasant surprise.

>>34993885

A good Litchi scares the crap out of anyone.

i learn all the moves and play the vidya

You shouldn't worry about picking a main OP. Just sit down and play whoever you feel like playing. Eventually, you'll gravitate towards one or two characters that you will play more than the others.

>>34993885
OH GOD LITCHI'S corner rape. I main Tager and I played LadyFascination last night in player lobby. He pretty fucked me over with Litchi.

Is there ANY WAY for Tager to get close to Litchi? I seriously think Litchi is harder to play against than Nu because I can't sledge Litchi's staff.

btw play random.

>>34994046
Except Nu.

I empathize with someone whos self-concious enough to let others opinions of them online effect their choice of character.

But seriously, fuck every single last person that bitches at you. You play a game to have fun. You choose a character because you want to enjoy using that character. If people bitch at you, you can mute them, don't let the stereotypes of whiney scrubs get in the way of enjoying a game you payed for.

tl;dr: Ignore the fucking bitches and just enjoy the game

>>34994098
I've found that my best bet is a wake up Gigantic Tager *And the permutations*. Still trying to figure out some better ways though.

I play Jin and Rachel. I just tell people to fuck off if they give me flak about using Jin.

>>34993768

>I love it
>shitty casual game

Fucking faggot.

>>34994205
Oh I tried that. But every single time I tried to buster him he would use Litchi's uppercut.

I should be practicing memorizing my Haku-men combos, but I'm here on /v/ ;_;

>>34994242
With trolling this weak, I think I've found someone else to add to my filter.

Just got the game and finished a 4 hour session played 100% tager and got to level 30 damn there are some nasty jins out there

So being in lolCanada, I was finally able to get the god damned game today, and I must say I'm surprised at my inability to combo almost dick all. Compared to Guilty Gear XX or MvC2 the launchers are weaksauce as hell, chaining to specials seems stiff or something right now and HOLY FUCK LOOK AT THAT COMBO SCALING.

You can sledge her staff

14 secs in.

i main Arakune but i can't figure out who to sub
Ragna and his bitchin parachute pants
Tager and his REAL SOVIET DAMAGE
or Bang and his RIDER KICK and BANG BANG BANG BANG

>>34994401
Should've added him to your filter long ago. Don't bother responding to him anyways, everyone ignores him nowadays.

>>34994401

>implying I troll

You trolls don't really try anymore these days.

Btw, OP, are you PSN or XBL? I'll play you if you wanna practice.

>>34994242
I love how your trolling started out half-decent but has degraded to "WAAAAHHH CASUAAAALLLLLSSSS"

It's like watching a child steadily realising mommy doesn't love him.

Anyway, I play Tager/Bang, but I'm terrible as both so far.

I wanted to learn to play with everyone except for Tager and Arakune, but I want to focus on my Taokaka and my Ragna.

Does a good Bang scare anyone?

>>34994459
Sub all of them.

>>34994446
Sledging the staff in that state is all fine and dandy, what he has to worry about more (as far as I can tell) is her 6B and j.C pokes. Both lead to wallbounce combos.

>>34994414
Canadian here.

Local EB Games still haven't fucking gotten it.

However, I do know that overall combos have become weaker and easier to do overall, the games combo system has been somewhat dumbed down to be more accessible to the general online populace.

>>34994570
Only a bit, because he has no good anti-air.

>>34993768
Everyone in the game is fine, OP. Just main someone and have fun. But fuck v-13, fuck her RIGHT IN THE ASS OH HURRR I'M JUST GONNA SPAM DRIVE ALL FUCKING DAY

>>34994446
Well, you can't sledge Litchi's staff when she doesn't use it as a projectile. Litchi's 6B 2B and 1C dominate Tager from mid to full screen.

I guess its just that TD is just really good with Litchi lol.

>stereotypes

Listen up, OP, no one fucking cares who you play as unless it's Nu, and only because practically everyone agrees she is overpowered.

Otherwise, the characters are for the most part balanced. The game has exactly 1 7-3 matchup, Nu vs Tager. Everything else is at least 6-4. There are 12 characters. You can pick Jin if you want. You can pick Ragna or Noel if you want. Anyone who judges you and hates you because of who you play is usually, 9 out of 10 times, a faggot, and they probably suck at the game as well and are complaining because they can't beat x character.

If you are somehow ashamed of using a character because you have been browsing /v/ for a few weeks and seen nothing but "OMG JIN JUST FUCKING SPAMS ICECAR ALL DAY LONG" then you have already failed. In the end you should play who you want to play, not limit your options because some internet fags tell you to. If you are convinced that just because a character is overused, or easy to use, that they are a scrub character, drop that attitude. You can give yourself distinction by NOT BEING A SCRUB.

>>34994622
I hurt nus bad...

>>34994570
yes

> Nu overpowered
> not the top tier character

lol

>>34994647

Tager vs Nu is not even close to 7-3. 8-2 at least.

Maybe it's just that I play Tager, but fighting Arakune isn't fun at all. AT ALL. Even when I win, I get absolutely no satisfaction from it. I would rather fight v-13. And possibly get shot in the kneecap.

Anyone wanna play?

>>34994647
Agreed

>>34994622
Spam D Nu's are easy as shit to counter brah. Just don't become too predictable with your approach and make sure to capitalize on Nu's mistakes.

Not saying Nu is easy to beat (especially good ones), but spam D Nu's are pretty cake.

>>34994638
TentacleDemon is good with EVERYONE lulz.

>>34994589
Huh, mine did, although still dick all of them, roughly. Anyways, the thing is that I was under the impression this game was supposed to be easier but I could rack up bigarse button mashing aerial Jam combos in XX#R while I can almost barely connect simple shit so far here.

Admittedly, I couldn't do dick all that was -practical- in GGXX, but everything has such long startup in this game you can't do like -any- special straight off a jab it seems like, which I didn't expect.

OP again.
Basically I'd like to use Litchi or Carl but I'm afraid of the amount of dedication they require. Aside from GG Reload I haven't had much playing time with fighters, you see. Litchi seems like you need to learn two characters to use effectively, and I know full well how difficult it is to use Carl. Rachel is not only difficult but top tier, which I try to avoid... And I know Tager will get mauled at high level playing. Jin and Bang I don't know if I necessarily care about using that much though...

Ragna I've used a good amount and learned his combos, but never really used him online. All that combo practice will most likely amount to jack when I actually have a moving target. Noel has seemed to me like a great character to use from the start, but she gets stereotyped almost as hard as Jin. Maybe I should just focus on using her and being the best I can without relying on D spam.

>>34994510
PSN, but I doubt practicing with anyone but Ragna would help since I don't really know how to use anyone else.

>>34994847
The combos are simple, with relatively easy timing, and most of them are explained on the disc or are pretty easy to figure out (seeing which moves chain is really obvious in most cases, especially after an hour in practice), but you are right that there is less mashing combos you can do.

>>34994589
Maybe if you're thinking about shit like A, B, C, 214B as Jin, sure that's easy.

Decent Bang here, the only people that worry me to fight are Tao and Hakumen, and sort of Arakune. I love to fight Nu; she get's hit REALLY hard and double air dashes fuck her zoning over soundly. Everyone else is kind of a wash, though it often frustrates me how careful you gotta be around even total fag Jins. Standing Drive is fast and long and wide, and leads to a fair amount of damage no matter how bad the person behind it is.

>>34994764
I actually don't mind fighting Nu-13 *She actually isn't that hard, you just gotta time your Sledgehammer, Volt Tackle, and Spark Bolts right*, Rachel, or Arakune. I actually like fighting them, keeps me on my toes. Jin players on the other hand........thats just not fun.

>>34994864

Noel has a relatively steep learning curve, her advanced combos rely on cancels and throw whiffs that require pretty precise timing.

You should practice with Ragna a bit. He's basic and has low health but he can keep up a constant, relentless offense.

If you want to play Carl, he's very hard to play on pad. Litchi appears hard to use, but the majority of her combos are very simple and she has a lot of easy mixups.

What's your PSN? I'll play you sometime when you feel comfortable.

PSN bro here, post yours and I'll post mine.

Lets have some fun bros

>>34995092

Poor Tager.

Once Nu gets nerfed, all you bitches are gonna be crying about Arakune.

>>34994937
The version without the disk is now out. Fuck Canada, etc. for the fact I have it. Still, yes, I probably -should- go watch this shit, but I was expecting a bit more stuff to connect. I mean, what the fuck -am- I supposed to do with Death Spike?

But seriously, holy fuck is the combo scaling hardcore, using an A attack anywhere in a combo pretty much guarantees dick all for damage.

>>34995141
I play a mean Arakune. For a level 12.

>>34995100
Xbro here, gamertag in email field

shoot me an invite

>>34995100
Needs more artwork with her hair down.

>>34995047
Well, I place v-13 towards the bottom of the list, above Arakune, but there's a pretty steep drop between the two. I can handle a v-13, and even if I lose, I'm pretty okay with it. It's just the entire experience of a fight with Arakune is in absolutely no way enjoyable to me.

>>34994864
Litchi isn't actually that hard to learn. A lot of the stuff you see with the staff flying around mid-combo is just knowing where to start what.

>>34995162
The Ragnas I've seen tend to use Death Spike as an ender rather then a starter, but I've seen it comboed into, though I can't remember wut

>>34995162
Do death spike (214D) after hell's fang (214A) as a combo finisher. knocks them towards the corner.

>>34995170
Sending you an invite, my GT is RallyTheIdiots.
>>34995175
Agree.

You will get stomped by a Nu who knows what he is doing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0KgQbxKefs
although it is rare to find one online.

>>34995225
It seems I actually did find a way to juggle it off of 6C. Except 6C gets blocked if you chain it from B, so...yeah.

>>34995162
Pressure strings. Has meh startup, but leaves you with a nice frame advantage.

>>34994414
>>34994589
Oh God. Canadian here too. I feel your guys pain.

I just bought it today as well.

>>34995162
the disc doesn't ever even mention death spike, but it does have a few uses.

It's a decent frametrap due to the long startup but sudden hit and range.

It's a decent okizeme as hit lasts for a decent while and covers a lot of ground, can easily puinish a slow/wrong tech-roll

When in Blood Kain it covers almost half the screen and has a frame advantage on guard, So if you catch your opponent guarding in the corner, YOU SPAM THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF IT.
