Stray

Carl, thanks for the shout out. Zoogstin, you're probably right. I may be going back to neutral too soon. Other times it's probably because I'm hitting D again too early. Carl takes some patience alright. With 2a, 2b, 3c, 22a, IAD, Alle-can, 2c, 8d, loop... it seems rather hard to hit-confirm. I've noticed that if I'm not buffering 22a well before 3c comes out, Nirvana ends up behind me instead. It's something I definitely need to work on. What is the best option if you are being blocked? I'm thinking 2a, 2b (blocked), 5c, IAD or whatever.

I've been toying around with Carl for a few days now and have decided to make him my sub (crazy I know). I've noticed that sometimes when I release D while tapping or holding a direction, Nirvana will sometimes do nothing. Needless to say, this screws me up when I'm trying to pressure or do a combo. I know the problem has nothing to do with activation start-up because I'm often holding D throughout an entire string. I also see Nirvana moving around while I'm doing this which further proves I'm not crazy. Additionally, I'm not being attacked so that can't be it. Is there something else to Nirvana's attacks that I'm not understanding? This has been driving me crazy since day 1.
