    Raphael General Discussion / Q&A

    Yeah I've also been using 2b much more especially as an ender to the prep~bbb stun drop. As stated above it does comparable damage to 66A+B but the main advantage is it leaves them right up under you and forces a quick choice. I find after 66A+B the 1 - 2 seconds to close the space is 1-2...

    Patroklos Video Thread

    Well to the 'I almost always' how often do you really see 4b and more importantly how is it used. Because of its range people I've seen use it, use it well outside of 44a range. The thing with Pat is outside of a certain range the only thing that can really hurt you are very linear so its always...

    @1 Firstly combos can be inconsistent but a lot of that inconsistency can be negated by player skill. You really don't have to learn all 5 ranges. You can only focus on when BB will work and when it will not. You get that down and you can just use BB and then use 236B. If you're not confident...

    Patroklos Video Thread

    Yeah A+B does great guard damage but as a move it is slow and the big shiny shield telegraphs this move more than a man in a short shorts awkwardly sucking a banana in a bar trying to pass himself off as a heterosexual. Anyone with any kind of Pat knowledge or experience knows to either step or...

    Patroklos Video Thread

    Not really a lot ot say here without nitpicking but I do have two major critiques. The first is the use of 44a. A move that is as under rated as it is deadly. 44a is a funky move on CH. When it lands in close the opponent is left a -14 frames but when landed with some space in between you...

    Patroklos Video Thread

    Man what can I say. Some pretty solid playing but the thing that stood out to me is you don't use your meter nearly as much as you should. One of the core strengths of Pat is his above average meter gain which really allows him to put his meter to work. I was bored so I did this little write up...

    Raphael Tournament Discussion

    Well I've said it to other people before but I feel Raph is just in a very funky place. When you look at him on paper, he really is not that good. Just about all of his damage is steppable. And while yes he does have tools to stop step, his poke damage is so laughably low that a lot of the...

    Pyrrah seems to be a bit on the broken side.

    I have to disagree with this point. Once you get to higher level competition poking is what wins matches. The game is young and not a lot of people properly know the full extent of each match up so the harder hitting characters are looking really really good now. But Pyrrah has a 14 frame dead...
