BlazBlue: DIO (Carl) vs Shadow (Rachel)

[KingdomHeartsgirl991]

carl you.....hhhnnnggggg

[ksmoove12able]

people always bitchin so they nerf someone or a couple of characters because of it, but yet they dont nerf the gay ass burst limit on this game, cuz thats why I quit playing is because bursting in this game is truly not worth shit

[Chaolover116]

Fun fact: Japanese Carl was voiced by a woman :D

[GatlingSmash]

@Chaolover116 Also, an old fact! Most young boys in games and anime are voiced by females. :)

[Kyuubi424]

@Chaolover116 Carl in the English version is voiced by a woman too. Michelle Ruff, I believe.

[KingdomHeartsgirl991]

@Kyuubi424 That's awesome i wonder who'd do older carl[just thinking]

[Kyuubi424]

@KingdomHeartsgirl991 Probably someone really opposite to Michelle Ruff's voice.

Like Crispin Freeman or something. XD

[Kyuubi424]

I really have to admire Carl players. Most people don't have the patience to learn his tag-team style of play. Kudos to them all.

[Dan1loBr]

epic battle :D

[075795]

omg that frog annoys me

[Jumpingmelonz]

3:10 - Did Dio just rapid out of the 2C? Couldn't he just Alla-cancel? I'm not sure of the time this was played, so i'm not really sure if that was discovered yet, but if it was...bad move...

[RakeBone]

Only good Carl player I know is DIO, if anyone knows any other Pro Carls let me know plz

[starfire6789]

good luck playing with rachel in the 2nd blazblue game hardly anyone plays as her becuse she got nerfed really badly

[GatlingSmash]

@starfire6789

I don't think skilled players really mind. I consider myself -rather- skilled with my character, Arakune, and I'm definitely not abandoning the character I spent so much time working on just because he was nerfed a bit (well, quite a bit). People moaning about their mains getting nerfed and abandoning them clearly aren't dedicated enough, and choose their next main based on tiers and so on. I think that's just not how it's supposed to go.

End rant. :P

[starfire6789]

@GatlingSmash i agree with you i really do i'll stay as rachel

[Dizzy35373]

@GatlingSmash I'm going to be sticking with Rachel, xP I play competitively.. but still, I might not win as much but that's ok. :D

[PitLetsPlays]

@GatlingSmash From what I seen regarding Arakune in CS, I think it was a very good change. Ara has to work for the curse meter but he gains unninterupted usage of it when its out even if its hit. Ofc it is worse then before when you could recurse on whim but its more fair IMO.

And Rachel isnt that bad. She has superb zoning still and can prevent a lot of damage done to her. Its just that her damage suffered big time and its kinda hard to get the kill during the time limit.

[frugs1]

@GatlingSmash I love Rachel, absolutely do, far to much to quit her in fact, but... but... she's so shit lol

[darkmage4357]

@GatlingSmash I'm not gonna stop playing Rachel. I'm just gonna keep improving, cause right now, I'm less than spectacular. -_-

[GatlingSmash]

@darkmage4357

Nice attitude, mate! :D Aim for spectacular, and exceed it!

[notachicken1]

This game needs a very well deserved re-balance.

[xepherius]

carl is broken period

[Kageryushin]

Carl is probably the weakest character in CT, probably along with Hakumen and Tager. Rachel is broken. Her blockstring combos are fucked up, period. I can understand what you mean if you're referring to the clap loop, but even that is hard to pull off and you're given a chance to escape.

[jelaninoel]

if you think carl is broken, youve never faced a sub par arakune. and yes i do mean sub par. thats all it takes for him to be a big problem

[Onitoga]

Wow Rebel 3 was INTENSE! O:

[wanttoseeafight]

wow, wicked fun fight to watch

[moe5000]

can any carl mainers tell how fun is it playin carl b/c im thinking of picking him up

[ZhangHe2369]

Its not fun for like the first 20 something fights and hours of practice, but once you understand clap, Kara Airthrow dash, and Slide sommon IAD allacancel 2C clap loop (i still dont got it down 100%.), you'll start to win. (Also, Carl v Rachel is never fun for Carl)

[clownies]

dang, that carl user so awesome, I really know how to use nirvana, man I wanted to master carl but im having a hard time moving nirvana

[Thienthan]

I was kind of wondering why didn't the Rachel use her wind to escape the infinite

[snoopolion]

Because Carl didnt trow Rachel during the loop.

[Chinister]

because there wasnt any infinite in this match...

[ChileanIggy]

maaan sick fight.

i was hoping for an astral at the end... lol

[rmnhn]

@ChileanIggy only ragna, rachel and nu can do their astrals in the arcade version...

[StarChildRoan]

Whenever i see or go up against a rachel i always think "Where the hell did she summon george O.o!?" seriously....he just seems to pop outta no where at times :X

Great match though, very skilled on both players parts

[Lahtinen87]

Awesome fight, especially Rebel 3. Thanks for the vid, one of the best I've seen!

[Master1Morrison]

lol i still love rachel hopefully i become good at using her

:D

[mclace]

Carl is not that hard to learn people theres a difference between learning and execution

[ThatSomethingGuy]

Ridonculous. Just trying to keep track of the moves being implemented by these two players made me kinda dizzy. The spatial awareness required to play these characters must be amazing.

[Lhosreiff]

@ThatSomethingGuy This actually isn't that bad at all. After learning 6 or 7 combos and practicing for about a couple hours I can tell exaclty what they're doing.

If you want Crazy, try watching Soul Caliber 4 videos. Theres like 50 combos per character as opposed to 10 or so here. I don't even.

[GatlingSmash]

@Lhosreiff

I beg to differ. Soul Calibur isn't NEARLY as deep as BlazBlue or many other 2D fighters when it comes to mechanics. Yes, you may be able to tell what they're doing, but can you DO what they are? I don't think so.

[Lhosreiff]

@GatlingSmash Nope, I can't. mmmkayyyys

[Shiptonio]

Wow, and to think I wanna main these guys, I'm no where near the level these guys play at D:

Dang, had to choose the hard ones XD

[Skyrockah]

one of the best matches I've ever seen

Dio is a monster *liked it*

[IHateYouDx]

Two words.

HOLY CRAP.

That is all.

[Bohrain]

Now I realize why Rachel and Carl have the hardest learning curves in the game...

[Anomaly112]

Arakune?

[bludika]

i say Carl has an even steeper learning curve than Rachel, atleast from personal experience, i use carl as my main on psn

[GatlingSmash]

Obviously, Carl is the hardest character to learn by far.

[xXdigimonruleXx]

@GatlingSmash So true dude, but if you can pull it off the reward is really nice. But ragna still is pretty awesome to me XDD (my main)

[212809]

Carl's definately the hardest to learn. Its like trying to control two characters at once.

[Jerails]

You can almost hear the Ice Climbers players in the distance...

[ZhangHe2369]

not anymore, all the Eddie players kicked the shit out of them.

[snaffu1]

And then Slayer was all like "Fuufuufuu PILE BUNKER!" and all was well in the world.

[burningsoul89]

INTENSE

[darkzero89]

Wow first round was ridiculous xD
