Any tactics for a Tager fighting Litchi or Arakune?

Even good Ragnas give me hell.

>>37750693
I use Arakune, don't turtle against Arakune, it doesn't work.

At least for me, defensive Tagers are easier to beat, learn to time your sledges, it can save your life.

>>37750821
I try to press early but get caught with that diving attack he does (that he can bounce and do again once or twice more).

I can get past clouds and all but I usually get caught in the downtime after a sledge.

>>37751005
Ah, the dive bombing, yeah thats when it gets really tricky, its a great move that I like to abuse a lot lol, you can try to hit Arakune in the air with 8C?

I don't know man, I don't use Tager, but some have managed to beat me with good pressure and greatly timed grabs/sledges.

Can anyone give me some good tips for beating Tager? I have never beat anyone who uses him. I main Jin (In b4 ICE CAR!)

I need to work up the courage to get my ass kicked online someday.

>>37751116
Once I get close I have no problem since they'll do everything in their power to get out of a corner leading to easy Gigantic Tagers and magnetizing.

But Litchi is a fucking cunt. Goddamn.

>>37751277
Stay in the air. Tager has horrible anti air and huge hitboxes. Mix up your ice cars (use the A to move across screen) and swords. Bait him into sledging and punish.

>>37750693
Tager main here. There are lots of ways to approach characters, but once you get to them, keep them fucking close to you.

Try using Spark Bolt and hit them into a combo? It's not that bad once you get them magnatized, because your drive moves them towards you. Good stuff..

Also, if they're in the air, use Atomic Collider, then 6c and 5d to get them magnatized, or you can 236c followed by 236a. It's just a matter of reading your opponent with tager; well ,that's how I see it.

>>37751005
Random Sledge spam is a bad idea. It's easily punishable, and will get you killed very quickly. Try and save Sledge for nailing Arakune when he throws out projectiles too close to you. Otherwise, advance using just walking, or jumping, but don't jump straight into a cloud.

For the dive, you really don't have a lot you can do about. Tager has zero effective anti-air so if you don't stop it before it comes out, your best bet is blocking it and moving on from there.

It's a shitty match up, even for Tagers standards. You really just have to watch for openings to sledge thru and hit Arakune, or try and super jump to get close and start the pressure.

>>37751316
It's not too bad once you get used to it. I win about 30% of the time now that I've started getting into the online more often

I finally made it to level 50 with Tao

Hurray

>>37751421
Now that Tager has taken over my "main" box I get tons of Arakune counterpicks.

Shit sucks.

>>37751316
It's just a matter of learning your character's combos, how to deal with bad matchups, and the like. If you find a person with equal skill level, send him a friend invite, and you'l have someone that won't bee too hard or easy.

Oh yes, Atomic Collider, man, today I was fighting against this Japanese Tager player on XBL, he was pressuring me like a bitch, and when I managed to jump out of it, he grabbed me with Atomic Collider out of fucking nowhere, its like the guy was just waiting for me to jump, he did this like 5 times, never happened to me before.

>>37751527
I got to level 60 with Arakune today, shit rocks.

>>37751413
Don't overuse ice car A though, they can easily grab you from it.

Oh hey, I think this is the third BB thread today?

I liked the new info released earlier today, aside from the disappointment that Kokonoe still wouldn't be playable in the sequel.

>>37751656
Actually this is something I do fairly often. Mixing up Atomic Colliders and 360's in your pressure strings can catch a ton of people.

>I liked the new info released earlier today

wut

>>37751745
Hm? Info on what? The new characters coming down the tube?

And got any links?

>>37751745

NEW INFO WAT

>>37751745
what info?

Link?

>>37751745
Kokonoe seems more like a story only character than a fighter.

I hope they add her in Tager's win poses. His normal ones suck.

Right, so this thing called the BlazBlue Setting Material Collection book was recently released (or just translated? whatever) and it has a bunch of new, exciting information about the characters and such. I'll sum up the parts I thought were interesting, but if you want to read the whole summaries go here
http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7278

-The "old hag" Ragna mentions at the beginning of his story mode is Nine's (One of the 6 heroes) younger sister.
-Ada, Carl's sister, is actually implemented into Nirvana. This was done by Carl's father, who is called the "Puppeteer".
The Sankishin (Original units) are made up of three parts and were inspiration for the Nox Nyctores. There's the Amaterasu Unit (User unknown), Susannoh Unit (Hakumen's suit) and the Tsukuyomi Unit (Rachel's satellite shield).
-Hakumen's Nox is called Evil Slayer: Ookami.
-Nu's Nox (Sacred Light: Murakumo) is the sword thing that appears during her intros.
-Jubei also has a Nox, called Dream Sword: Musashi.
-Terumi's Nox is called "Dual Snakes: Ouroboros".
-Valkenhayn is one of the six heroes.
-Terumi is one of the six heroes.
-Terumi is actually the ghost thing you see sometimes; he's simply possessing Hazama.
-Both Nine and her sister were killed by Terumi, which is why Kokonoe hates him so much.

>-Terumi's Nox is called "Dual Snakes: Ouroboros".

COMPLETE

GLOBAL

SATURATION

so did the artist purposely spell birth day "brith day" in OP's image or are blazblue fans just retarded?

>>37751829
>Nine
Sounds awesome.
>Dead
Huh.

>>37751829
>-Valkenhayn is one of the six heroes.
>-Terumi is one of the six heroes.

Shit just got real.

>>37751745

Isn't it still possible that Kokonoe will be playable when Europe gets BlazBlue with the new characters?

>>37751829

Interesting, but you got my hopes up - I was expecting news of new characters or a sequel.

>>37751887
Tager main here, this picture always bugs me.

>-Valkenhayn is one of the six heroes.
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

>>37751914
This is official artwork and I think it was a mistake

>>37751816
>Cellphone pose = god tier.

I love tihs about maining Tager. After beating someone, he just casually takes out his cellphone and starts talking.

>>37751829
>-Valkenhayn is one of the six heroes.
>-Terumi is one of the six heroes.

Fucking called it.

>>37751947

Valkenhayn fucking confirmed to use as playable character. hnnng.

Tager vs Carl with someone humming YOU WA SHOCK in the background. ;_;

>>37751970
Too bad his service provider isn't Verizon.

>Ragna was originally blond with green eyes like Jin, but the trauma of the event turned his hair white.

That sure scared the shit out of him.

So, Terumi turned Jin over to his side, kidnapped Saya, sliced off Ragna's arm, possessed some unfortunate bastard while being one of the heroes that saves the world from destruction.

Awesome.

>>37751952
That's possible, and hopefully true, but I have a feeling that any characters new to that version are ones they'd be talking about for the sequel.

>>37751958
In the thread earlier today, the person posting claimed that something said the sequel would have playable Jubei, Valkenhayn, Tsubaki, Terumi, I think one more already known and definitely one new character. Where they got that info, I have no idea.

The 6th hero will be Lord Tenjo, calling it now.

Which sorts of sucks because he's dead, unless they pull some time warp shit (Which in BB would not surprise me at all).

>People talking about the story of a fighting game

well yeah good luck with that

>>37752153
6th hero is Gii and you know it

Wait, Sector Seven made Noel? I thought that the N.O.L. made her.

>>37752034
I almost feel bad when I fight Tagers with Carl, it's so easy to loop them it's criminal.

Then I realize they can take off nearly half my health with a 360 and go back to playing as faggoty as possible.

>>37752233
>>People talking about the fighting of a story game

>>37751907
Saw this coming, sooner or later as soon as I read this.

On an unrelated note, we should get some games going in here.

Any 360 players up for starting a room?

>>37752095
His white costume is what he would look like if he grew up normally.

PSN: Oxycleaner
Looking for some games

There better be more Teach Me Miss Litchi in the update/sequel

>>37752661
There will be, or at least some offshoot of it. I haven't heard anything, but I think it's too early for the series to go Soul Calibur IV on our asses and remove a ton of what made the series appealing in the first place.

>>37752722
Here you go.

>>37752959
brb fapping to knowing that someone used MSPaint

Who here would play Jubei despite the possibly furry jokes?
