Shana basically has the only invulnerable Roman Cancel in the game as her trump. It means she can cancel her AB/2AB DPs on block, meterless combo extend, dash forward pause the game punish like UniB, wake up reversal with it, combo super into another super, etc. Kirito has more or less the same thing with dual weild except he can't do it on block or after EX/Supers I believe, so no RCed DPs. He can combo into it though and he does a ton of damage and improves his normals while giving him free cancel assists, also it has startup invul just like Shana's so he can do dash up invulnerable Trump Card counter poke nonsense as well.

The variety of character systems is definitely one thing I felt lacking with this game during my time with it. (Disclaimer: x hours on first loctest's weekend) On one hand, it means that even the "bad" characters don't have too severe a crippling illness (hi Aquapazza) against the good characters. On the other hand, it's basically because everyone is pretty generic. Like I can already have a good guess of how Kirito plays because they showed his AB (your most important move in this game) and his character special (dual wield)

His list is wrong. ACT definitely qualified with Maori. People with stars are players I have a personal interest in.

Zar/Xenozip/Waffles's Wei tutorial has been completed, and honestly it is fucking top tier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dItR1Wb6zxA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUm3oj45ws http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfHQLFNtnEs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZk-odTYlrQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHevpyaSwyY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwLn9ZK06oM More random casuals.

There is some silly shit in those vids. Like I want to say the regular USA players are better than a lot of Kohatsu. (Maybe not me though, my win loss ratio is like 1:2, I'm pretty noob at this game.) Fritz lands ABC at 75% full screen? (DAY ONE GIMMICKS) Then gets HIT BY RESURRECTION???? Marilyn does like three correct combos then intentionally does wrong ones? The Sai is very solid though. And even if she completely failed to parry a 75% full screen Fritz gimmick, the Anonym's pretty decent too. Anyway, the USA netplay scene is starting to record their own vids, or rather it seems to be mainly me :V Whatever. Don't have much now, but more on the way from other people sending them to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBt9mfA4D0s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOu-s465XT8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esq39IqhArw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-osgSv9bm94

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPmuiS5g1pY Guess Lilica can loop more than 5 times. Holy shit Lilica on ice is crazy fast. Ice is looking pretty damn good (absorbs hits, makes crack Lilicas)

yukinose(DI)　VS　kaqn(SL) yukinose(MI)　VS　kaqn(AX) yukinose(MI)　VS　kaqn(RO) vol.1 yukinose(MI)　VS　kaqn(RO) vol.2 yukinose(TE)　VS　kaqn(JA) yukinose(TE)　VS　kaqn(OR) vol.1 yukinose(TE)　VS　kaqn(OR) vol.2 yukinose(TE)　VS　kaqn(OR) vol.3 yukinose(TE)　VS　kaqn(OR) vol.4 yukinose(TE)　VS　kaqn(SO) I haven't watched any AC for a while... But they gave Millia back her unrecoverable throw! And jHS can be air dashed after! Yays. Man yukinose's willing to play Dizzy but not Bridget?

0:34? Maybe in the game's timer, but in normal time it was more like a minute long (0:07 body slam start) I say Lilica should have Arcana'ed the instant she realized what was going on, sometimes I wonder why they don't.

This annoying loop?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQfHr_8Fjf4 Holy freaking crap, this one was pretty exciting actually. The 2:30 OTG nonsense from Kira was hilarious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Uobj396KVA Speaking of time out wins :V This made me sad.

Hopefully people will keep trying Princess Galadriel errr Fiona out and make her not suck. Also what's the limit on that Maori relauncher loop? At this point I don't think even with that 80% super she'd be remotely overpowering. Her normals just seem...too slow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsKtgKJUBz8 We all know the Lise loop now, but this person milks it to 50 hits, which has me wondering... Cause like we can all see the pushback right? Does the arcana reset it or what?
