BlazBlue Hakumen vs Rachel; Hakumen vs Jin; Ragna vs Taokaka Gamechariot (14/04/09)

[TheArmsmasters]

HAKUMEN = OP theres no chance when u play rachel

[pegasius0]

What gamepad they using? Can any1 tell?

[slappymannn]

Hakumen's Japanese voice sound s like he's smoked about 40 a day for 50 years.

[BreakDemLimitz]

this game is based on who ever gets momentum first is the winner

[darklliter]

is it me or are all the girl characters in blazblue slightly overpowered?

nu and her swords

lichi and her long ass powerful combos

noel and her drive.

rachel and her long range destruction...

and tao. now i don't need to say anything about tao do i?

[Hecatom]

no they arent, unleast that you come from SF where everyone feels powerless

[darklliter]

i play hakumen.

and hakumen is underpowered.

people say he isn't, but he really is. i have about 3 times as much play time as some of my friends and they lose continually to other people, but my hakumen can't beat them. only when i play tager.

[TheSuperSmashBrother]

@darklliter You don't really have to say anything about Tao. She isn't that good.

[TemariFan33]

@darklliter as opposed to being underpowered in every other game ?

all the girls attacks in blazblue dont do as much damage as the guys so theyre not overpowered at all.

[darklliter]

@TemariFan33

you can't say that a character is over or underpowered based on damage alone.

Ragna does less damage than tager yet is decidedly more powerful.

And in CT, don't even argue that the girls do less.

Rachel.

[TemariFan33]

@darklliter Who said I said blazblue girls are underpowered ? Not me, I implied blazblue girls are the only girls in most video games who are of decent power, blazblue CT isn't at all a different game than blazblue portable ?

Yeah ragna is more powerful in the story, but he's not as powerful when your playing him, people who spam tagers moves win and think they're amazing at blazblue because they can kill someone in 1 combo they spam.

[wacko4joeflacco]

WOW I meant as a JOKE!!! *cough*douchebags*cough

[wacko4joeflacco]

"hakumen give my sword back NOW!!! Shutup sephiroth

[darklliter]

has anyone noticed apart from me; hakumen can't use his astral finish in ranked matches.

WHY?

[Hecatom]

because ranked emulates the arcade some how, and in the arcade version of CT, only Rachel, Nu and Ragna have Astral Heats, since they are the bosses of the game

[darklliter]

my friend still pulls off jin's astral in ranked...

and i think hakumen is the only one who can't.

seems unfair.

[ningmun]

Buppa #1 :s

[strikexfreedom1]

he sand bagged the shit outta thatjin in the second round lol

[VexxoftheTempest]

How Haku won that 2nd round against Gin is beyond me.

[MegaSaikokira]

good fight jin is still broken as hell hope they fix that in the next game

[Hecatom]

....

broken =/= solid

[Woodplain]

...Hakumen doesn't have bones... D:

[unavaliable2]

he's like arakune with shape

[ctbravo]

That Haku player is a demon, even Jin said "shit" in japanese

[Jimmy91127]

Hakumen was fucking joke = great combos = terrible/no use of his Drive counter which is what makes him so deadly.

[nightmareticket]

Rapid cancel is a really underrated tool

[wuchunmeng]

I just started playing this game and picked hakumen cuz he looked cool, but goddamn!!! He can turn the whole fight around if you make a mistake, combos are devastating...

[asnlunatic]

im curious, has anyone else used a counter block?

[poeticthief]

Tried using it once but the 50% heat cost is a little steep. It's a good way to reset the momentum without barrier bursting penalties but I think that 50% heat is a little too much. 25% heat cost would have made it a bit useful in my opinion.

[DaRkXyStEr]

With hakumen, I find IB >6D more practical, since it costs no heat to do, and I can start a combo from it. For other characters, I try IB > 5A, though I don't feel as safe doing that, lol

[zerograv185]

whoever is playing as hakumen is making him look like a joke XD

[TheBloodedge92]

yea,and in the second fight Jin choked alot when he was close to winning!

[Aetherthree]

You're kidding right? That Haku was a monster!

[asnlunatic]

yeah wtf? the hakumen was great. You must be a jin/ragna player.

[enoching7]

haha did anyone find hakumen's ahgegegege at 1:40 funny? manly voice made so funny..nvm

[TheBloodedge92]

it wasnt hakumen. it was the cat

[ScionOfTheFlame]

and ragna is a bad solbadguy copy

[ReiGamer]

you do realize its the exact same company who made guilty gear right?

this is the spiritual successor of guilty gear. get used to it because the rights to the GG franchise now belong to sega (not arc system works anymore)

[asnlunatic]

yeah...look what sega did to guilty gear. I didnt want to play a fucking RTS. God they can go ahead and kill sonic but ill be damned if they kill guilty gear

[ScionOfTheFlame]

haku-men looks similar to justice without his sword

[warhound2k7]

Crap, that Rachael player is ruthless!

[BanzaiBonez]

Tiers... (A word that is now out of date)

Nuff said.

[Libix87]

Can't do the combo at 4:33 =/

[GantDanasty]

NOW that's what I'm talking about, finally a Haku-men that's better than mine. a lot of people

think they good but they not and this guy good.

[enoching7]

agreed.

[darklliter]

hakumen's such an awesome character, but he looks like a power ranger in red :(

[SuzakuFinix]

tyrannosaurus

[semorbutz]

I thought he looked like zero from megaman, the fact that he never gaurded, give him a green glowing sword and I might confuse them

[HipHopSuks]

lol, you're right

[Shadethehedgehog89]

lol i thought that too! thats one of the reasons i use him! ZERO PWNS!

[bumfire007]

Hakumen has funny looking skeleton.

[kosniper]

Oh man. These guys are total solid players. *Favorited*

[Jedlessness]

He's the 2nd lowest right before Tager, bro. But tiers don't matter anyway. With Haku all you really need is to disrupt your opponents rhythm.

[bumfire007]

with new generation of fighting games tier not so much of big deal.

[onimike]

Jin looks like Vicious from Bebop with those colors.

Except for the whole ice thing and all.

[Schryd]

goooo hakumen he's the best no matter what lol by the way jin and bloodedge have some beasty combo

[Exhuman]

Also, if you're a Hakumen player, it's a good -- no, a great -- idea to play as all the characters for a little bit so you get a feel for what you're going to be up against, so you can add the ability to see (at least a little bit) ahead in a match to your repertoire.

...That's actually a good idea no matter who you play, but it borders on being a necessary with Hakumen.

[Exhuman]

Oh, I forgot to include this: What Hakumen is really a character that puts an emphasis on the rewarding of strong basics and hands out punishment for fighting like an asshole to both the player and opposition.

You see a great return on a technical, calculated, logical and highly patient approach.

[Exhuman]

...Think of Hakumen as Nightmare in early SCIV. Not really good at spamming, but has GREAT counters and REALLY makes you feel your mistakes in the form of losing 50% of your life. He's probably one of the better, if not the best balanced character amongst the others.

You know you have a good character on your hands when people argue over whether or not he's broken or a shit piece.

[Exhuman]

Coming from a Hakumen player:

He's a stone cold murder machine in the hands of someone who can truly use him, and his Drive. He's tied (with Bang) for second highest HP, and has the highest -average- damage output in the game. He's balanced out by shit priority, shit invulnerability frames and sort of having to lie low at the start of the match.

He's not a scrub killer, well he IS, actually. Just like every other BB character. But the character that really gets the scrubs is Tager...

[OscarMaris]

this shit is so pringles

[Jedlessness]

cause he's da mango haku

[NeijaTyrMea]

Yeah, he can be annoying but I think Hakumen is more of a newbie-killer. Against someone who knows what they're doing, I am pretty sure that they can mop the floor with Hakumen.

This is simply what I have experienced so far while playing Blazblue so I could be wrong.

[OscarMaris]

uh that Jin player was no newbie. hakumen takes patience but he is strong against almost anybody.

[NeijaTyrMea]

Oh no, I know that. I do agree that he definitely takes patience and I know that none of the players in this vid are newbies they would most certainly mop the floor with me.

[MasterBORRACHO]

I hate Haku-Men. That bitch is too powerful, fast and has way too long a reach.

[Hecatom]

lol wut?, he is low tier bro, he hits like a truk but he lacks movility

[MasterBORRACHO]

Hits like a truck? EXACTLY. Guy is way too powerful and he is pretty fast for a guy that strong

[Hecatom]

considering that he doesnt have real gatlings besides his specials, i dont see him overpowered

[MasterBORRACHO]

Well I had only played against him. I just played as him and he is fast on his feet, but way slow at attacking so know I know what you meant. Guy is still too powerful though. Not as bad as Tagar though.

[benkai343434]

there someone goes with 'tiers' again. why can't anyone see how bloody pointless that tiers actually are?

[darknessredefine]

i agree tiers are pointless

[elbugabuga]

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAA in the pasta 10 minutes i think only i gona use toakaka but hakumen is awesomeeeeeee that air combo is a same combo of sol dustloop in Guilty Gear X2

[Key313]

Dude, how did Jin lose that second round? >.>

[cmysharingan]

Wow I usually hate those weird characters like Taokaka (or voldo and any other freaky character insert name here)

but I must admit she beat the monkey doo outta Ragna, thats the best air juggling I've seen in a game outside of MvC2

[jaiwhite205]

Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu

[Sepheriel]

Haku-men is badass and hits like a truck!

[Raivyn45g]

Stop hating on Taokaka!

He is the nicest!!!

Kind of like the 2D BlazBlue version of Talim from the Soul Calibur series

=D

[JayBiggs]

taokaka is a girl o.o

[zealotscout]

Stating facts man .

[Damnationstation]

No offense but taokaka is a dude

[Hecatom]

is a girl bro

[qrex]

taokaka is kinda spam?

[bludika]

why does Buppa keep trying to do the wall loop combo when he's no where near a wall? for his air combos when hes in the middle of the stage he should just do a clean most damage delivering combo not do the hit, then try to dash and hit again, the opponent always recover when there is no wall

[BlitzTiger]

Pretty good fights.
