A simple definition is that a disjointed hitbox is part of an attack that has a a hitbox (Can hit the enemy), but no hurtbox (Noel can't be hit by the enemy at that part.) I wanna say I agree 5C should be disjointed, especially because it's considered projectile by the game (Tager, hakumen).

Never once heard Cash battle used in smash. And, to repeat, don't be afraid to ask for friendlies. Also don't be afraid (If you're running the show) to ask for help. a trusted friend can run pool, or supervise, say, losers bracket while you take care of winners. And Skye posted Tio earlier in the thread. While yes, it originated from smash(inb4hate), it is a very high quality free tournament organizer.

And they can forward / back tech out pretty easily it looks like, even if they don't have barrier (ie bursted)

With the old CT information, just a suggestion. Keep it in it's own thread, but un-sticky it. Same with the other CT threads. That way they're still there for us to find, but not making it convoluted up at the top. If there is enough threads you could make a sticky that just has links to various guides and topics for all the important CT information and threads. I say this because Deleting it would make it nigh impossible for, if any newcomers want to play CT over CS, and merging it would just make the topics themselves a bit large and hard to read.

Missing the DASH may not have repercussions though. Certain characters, like, Jin, you can do 6A 6C (BC) 6C (BC) 6C Drive combo with no dash at all assuming a closest range 6A. Most characters cept like, Carla, arakune, Tao, etc you can get at least 2 on with no Dash. Keeping that in mind will allow you to at least move on to learn the rest of the combo, be it air or groudn bnb. And the damage won't be TOO much smaller. the 66C is done, assuming no online or HDTV lag, when Noel 'bobs' Her head after the grab whiff. In other news dont' worry abotu how long it took to learn the air combo either. Only ever played SF games before this so air combos were non existant. Took me a looong time to get used to them myself. Jins air BnB and Ragna's air bnb's were hard to get down.

No one smart looks at Jins C-mash combos and cals them scrubby. I doubt it'll be the same for Hazama.

5C and 5B both link to 3C on CH, yeah, but I've never tried 6C. I was just online and did it (5D CH) to some tager. Lots. But the timing is in my head like, one of those second nature things, where you know how to do it but can't like, spell it out so to speak.

I love Optic barrel in this match. Either they sledge, eat the blockstun, or jump. All 3 work in your favour.

Actually, does anyone know if you could IB something in Tagers blockstrings and then 5D the sledge on reaction after?

Tagers sledge is projectile immune from frames... Hell if I know, I don't have the frame data.I could prolly dig it up but if you're like me seeing frames won't help you too much. You want to time it so you use your invincibility to go through his movement / attack portion, but actually hit afterwards when he's vulnerable to projectiles.

All I know is online, I hate this matchup almost as much as Arakune vs Noel. Lag makes tager scary. But this isn't about lag tactics. I saw in another thread that you can 5D to counter sledge on reaction. Is tehre any actual value to this? It works. You see the sledge, wait a bit and 5D and it goes right through and hits him as he finishes projectiel invuln. 5D 6C 214A combo from there.

It does, but it's a bitch to time IMO.

2 Questions. If I'm cursed, is it better to try for a lucky poke (J.A, 5A, etc) or try to wait it out? And if He's beginning the 6C loop, is it better to burst ASAP or let it finish? How many air unblockable moves does Arakune have that you need barrier for? And lastly, what are some good "Start of round" Ideas aside from block?
