BBCF: "Extremely Practical" Terumi Astral Combos

[@JP_KI]

That magnetism into command grab has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while

Beating Tager at his own game

[@ViBeZ-mt6tn]

0:41 this man really just kara cancelled using Exceed Accel ina BlazBlue game, madlad

[@Lilio_]

Fun fact, this means there’s only one move in Terumi’s kit that can’t be used in a combo that ends in astral to my knowledge, that being screeches of the condemned. I really like that EA cancel too, I think it’s really cool, it’s a shame it doesn’t seem to work on most of the cast.

[@ViBeZ-mt6tn]

@@Lilio_ Although I wish Arc System works granted BlazBlue the combo freedom it gave Guilty Gear.

[@Lilio_]

Honestly, I think that the combo freedom in BB is pretty fantastic in its own right. I'm pretty unfamiliar with GG, but if you're willing to do dumb shit BB has some really incredible combo potential. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmqyc3p_o512grM ^ this is an example Azrael combo video which I love, it turns an ordinarily relatively slow and clunky character into this absolute speed demon. The combos aren't optimal, and you'd never do most of them in a real match... but that's half the fun, I think, hahahah.

[@Aripuni1]

@@ViBeZ-mt6tn i play both game, Blazblue has freedom combo, IMO both GG xrd and BBcf has similar mechanic, the different is GG xrd input feel stricter and character feel heavier, GG xrd has YRC that slowdown time, BBcf has traditional Rapid Cancel like old roman cancel in GGXXAC

[@bigocelot4002]

Never thought about using Astral that way! Most of the time it looks like I'm awkwardly tea bagging 3 times and pray it would land lol

[@Lilio_]

Terumi's Astral is actually pretty easy to land, even in a normal match and without doing dumb shit like I do here. Almost all of Terumi's combos go through either 236D (Snake Bite) or 22C (Cleaving Fang), for example, and Astral will always connect straight off of those moves, so it's just a case of learning some simple combos with him, and then stapling Astral in the middle. Once you get a feel for how to play him it'll come naturally.

[@Terumimi]

While i cant do any of the insane stuff, this is why i love terumi gameplay wise. His combos are total nonsense to the point where you can literally go drom 100 heat, to 0, back to 100 again just to end the combo with an astral.

[@thedarkknightdante]

4:05 isprobably the best menacing, smug combo. That walk. I assume 4:58 was put infor just a bruh moment and bruh usage. Loving this video.

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

Visit this video when you're using your other supers but you get unlucky with damage scaling. In the mean time: "Oh come on, we're going to have some fun!" *screams of agony for miles

[@shatterIguess838]

4:58 "Thanks for the Chips, Now catch this Spaghetti"

[@DarkTree]

oh god i forgot what the terumi page looked like a couple years ago. we've come so far, haven't we

[@jashybro]

So for the combo at 0:27, would it be possible to go into 632146D instead of the Astral if the opponent isnt about to die?

[@Lilio_]

You're referring to the one against Susanoo, right? That should work, yes. In fact almost all of the combos in the video could replace astral with 632146D as far as I'm aware simply due to the fact they both cancel the same way and have fairly similar hitboxes for the purposes of comboing into them. But, that's less stylish than going for an Astral, so it's a last resort imo :P

[@jashybro]

@@Lilio_ i mean yeah its totally cooler, but im tryna waste my meter

[@Lilio_]

@@jashybro I can definitely respect that lmao

[@Andrew-hg4yl]

looks like the astral combos off anything ending with a 236D, one of terumi's core moves. that's so fuckin gross

[@Lilio_]

It also combos straight off of 5D and 2CC in almost literally any context. It's absolutely trivial to get an astral with Terumi, to be entirely honest, but considering he's an otherwise mediocre character and he's constantly throwing away meter in order to do any significant damage, I don't think it's too bad.

[@Reviwitha6]

I didn’t know that wikipedia also does fighting game characters. Interesting

[@Lilio_]

It's a specific website called Dustloop, that has a lot of information for several fighting games like Blazblue. It's styled like wikipedia but it's technically unrelated

[@Reviwitha6]

@@Lilio_ I didn't know that

[@TheBelovedBun]

Terumi isn’t practical period. You only play him because of loyalty or because you like it best when everyone suffers. He is a bottom tier, but he intends to drag everyone else down with him.

[@Lilio_]

Yeah look I can't lie I definitely wouldn't have picked him up if I didn't like Hazama so much in CS lmao. That said I'm definitely glad I did, he's fun as heck.

[@TheBelovedBun]

@@Lilio_ He’s fun, I will admit. Watching everyone, including me, suffer is absolutely hilarious.

[@milesprower6110]

I think his coat is cool... :T And I started with CF, and used him after Kokonoe

[@OrezAmgis]

You Use KOF song in Blazblue videos...and I ue BlazBlue songs in KOF videos...we are the same person in diferent dimensions?

[@seanusselsor9954]

This is why we don't give extra meter gain to characters in games with instant kills

[@Lilio_]

Alternatively, it’s why we make such a character completely awful in nearly every other way

[@HollyBunnySilly]

And it's also why we make him one of the most fun characters in the whole game.

[@salj.5459]

It's not an instant kill, it only kills when they're at red health. It's not like Guilty Gear

[@Veillyr]

4:03 how did you cancel it

[@Lilio_]

You can rapid cancel the first part of that super, since it initially only consumes 50 meter. You can’t cancel it once he lifts the opponent into the air and starts using more meter for extra attacks though.

[@Veillyr]

@@Lilio_ nono i meant like how you cancel it at all :D (i play on keyboard)

[@Lilio_]

If you mean the mechanic itself, you can do a "rapid cancel" by pressing A + B + C at the same time and consuming 50 meter. Almost any move in the game can be canceled like this, on hit or block, and once it activates it immediately puts you into a neutral stance where you can do whatever you want again (or nothing at all if you're so inclined). I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial for it in the game in the tutorial section, give that a go if what I've said isn't too clear. If you don't mean the mechanic, I'm not really sure what you're asking

[@Veillyr]

@@Lilio_ tysm! now i only need to figure out how to cancel 6D thanks again x)

[@shariac5786]

@@Veillyr the buttons you use for A, B and C. Press it at the same time at the middle of any attack.

[@Veillyr]

did you know that you can even cancel the start of the regular grab with astral and the enemy rolls into the circle? XD

[@Lilio_]

I actually didn't, that's quite interesting. Ideas for a sequel maybe? I might think about it :^)

[@Veillyr]

@@Lilio_ it needs to be perfectly timed tho... i only got it once, is there some kind of a counter grab?

[@Veillyr]

because my hit stun or something was extended which made them do a barrel roll into the astral

[@Veillyr]

its like the barrel roll you did to them in 1:01 with 6D

[@elios7623]

that kokonoe super is truly shit, goddamn
