In CS did carl receive anything other than a projectile from nirvana? It seems to me if he retains most of his problems, and removed alot of the things that carl was becoming dependant on, it's just nurfing a lower tier character. I pray I missed alot, because as it stands I've lost alot of interest in continuing to main carl in CS.
If thats the case, it really doesnt show in most of the vids I've seen. What I do see is alot less consistancy in strings and comboes and more 'improv'.
Not gonna claim to be a great carl player, but it seems to me that if most of carls BnB has changed. I'll still give him a shot, but thus far, I dont have any prospects for a main (That, and something is not quite right with the universe when bang is god tier)
His BnB have really changed to a better BnB. (again, talking about loopless Carl)
for example you can do combo 5B > 2B > 5C
which is great because you can loop this with j.C and Nirvana while sand-witching your opponent.
and I agree... Bang kinda ruins the game for me, if you play him ( I play with all characters) you can mash 5A to interrupt anything you want and combo it to a BnB combo which puts them into a Knockdown in your favor so that you can continue on your Oki...
So aside from sandwich combos, is there anything Carl has going for him? I mean, personally I dont see any reason for the projectile, seems like a cheap zoning trick that really wasnt asked for by any carl players I know.
Guess I'll have to treat it as a whole new game when I get access to it.
wow that was an amazing block string from Litchi in the first round
respect

agreed. Carl has lost on every single CS vid i';ve watched. Its not like carl was top tier before. the clap loop was basically all he had before.

Actually his normals got a whole lot better and he can pull off better links/chains now.
He is a little bit better than CT now ( disregarding the Loop)

@macabreiceman
projectile from Nirvanna might be hard to combo off of but it is great for pressure since Nirvanna can do damage from across the screen
a welcomed attack in my opinion
