It might not be a bad idea for those of us playing CF to write down some common combo parts for posterity. For example... 214B Riichi A Ippatsu B Hatsu 6C(1) [D] 66C Hatsu Chuun ]D[ 6C(1)/4B[m] 623D (ender if in corner) I should double-check this but I'm pretty sure this combo works with even really awful confirms (5AA at east, maybe even 5AAA) .

I've gotten 5B 5C 2C 6C(2) Haku Hatsu Chuun 5B j.B dj.BC Hatsu Chuun to work on a decent percentage of the cast although it's rather unstable; a lot of the time, you're just getting the edge of the hitbox in the air and Litchi is visibly missing with j.B. Am I crazy or did the Ippatsu A hitbox get smaller?

Ggs. One day there will come a time when I successfully mix you up. On that day, I will retire from BlazBlue and all things a happy man.

Wow @ Chuun and new 13 orphans.

You must have really loved CS1 Litchi.

Can you clarify what a Litchi puffball is?

I'm really going to miss those non-moves... I'm assuming they're talking about Riichi A > Hatsu/Chuun, because nothing else makes sense.

Don't complain about people's play styles. Don't quit the game unless you've picked the wrong character or beginner mode or something, in which case you should quit early and apologize. Don't counterpick to a weaker alt if you're winning unless your opponent is alright with it (some people find it insulting). If you're playing a game that's laggy enough to have a purple tech throw window so small that you can't tech them, then you shouldn't play against that person. Whether or not you want to BE that person is up to you.

They don't use it because it's incredibly unsafe.

I'm too tired to complete this list for you, but some ideas... Off of 6A, don't go into 6B[m] unless you want to RC (or they're in the air, in which case go right to 6D). If you have no more staffless normals, do 2C[m] 6D. If you have one more, do 6B 2C[m] 6D. If you have two more, do 6B 5C 2C[m] 6D. You can pretty much improvise staffless to staff combo routes in the corner; all you have to do is make sure you avoid 2C because it will prevent you from going into 2C[m] and therefore preventing you from comboing off of 6D. Obviously if they're in the air anyway you can ignore this.

Learning curve and tiers don't always run parallel (see: Tager). Litchi's placement on the tier list is irrelevant to pretty much all of the playing populous, and the fact that she's still being played successfully should indicate this to you pretty clearly.

It's ironic because the matchup subforum is barren. The lack of information that you perceive to be targeted specifically at low-level players (like I did when I started playing in CT) goes all the way up the ladder. It's not that there's no information though, it's that it's often explained with little context and almost always concernes itself with the "what" and not the "how", which is a method that isn't entirely helpful to new players. But the fact is, the reason people don't focus on the latter is that if you practise enough, you will ultimately figure that out; execution is a lot of trial and error, and while it would be nice if there were more clear explanations of how to do some things, it's not a showstopper and you will figure it out as dozens of Litchi players before you have. I came at CT from basically the lowest possible level (only fighting game experience was Melee). I don't have any magical method to execution or thinking that I didn't develop in the last four years of playing this game, and I've only ever played Litchi. It is definitely possible to utilize these resources -- sparse as they may be -- to become a better player, so long as you are willing to catch yourself when you fall.

It took me three months to connect 5B[m] 2C[m] Itsuu A 6kote Haku Hatsu Riichi A Ippatsu A (CS1). I put a lot more work into the game than most of the people that I play against and they'll tell you that I'm still worse than many of them. You're not special. Your problem is your attitude. Get over it.

Well I guess if everyone else is going...

I play Litchi, what's a good way to punish his backstep?
