Just in time for her free rotation! lol Aco's Stream: www.twitch.tv/mister_acolyte

[@thirdeyekatakuri]

good looks bro. i been cooking

[@sasasutumi]

my life is complete. its over for everybody in ranked. NEVERMIND! first ranked match i ran into was a vira that was so stupid that they made me want to quit for the night. obviously TOMORROW is the day of reckoning for everybody in ranked

[@Chris_RLM]

Glad I'm not the only one who hates viras moveset.

[@ardidsonriente2223]

Viras moveset is super powerful, but still requires some bit of brain to use. Really stupid Viras die quickly to basic 5H poking.

[@cheyennedevera843]

hows the matches going?

[@sasasutumi]

@@cheyennedevera843 I got to S+ and ever since I've been too scared to touch ranked

[@cheyennedevera843]

same here lol @@sasasutumi

[@arachnofiend2859]

Excellent guide. I feel like despite her reputation as a hard to learn character Cag is actually pretty approachable at a beginner level; her neutral tools are so strong and straightforward that you can win a lot of games even when you're still building the base of the pyramid, so to speak. I say this as someone who got to S rank with her not knowing the EX teleport was plus and not using the rock at all lmao

[@phantomfoxkyo7104]

What a philosopher's stone of a video. Thanks to this, I gained a much better idea of playing Cagliostro than just fiddling about in the lab during ranked queue. Phenomenal.

[@HomeslicedVideos]

Philosopher's stone indeed! I learned several new things, even after a couple dozen hours with her.

[@friendshipcreed]

I feel like a kid in class learning Cag with this video. Wasn’t sure that was intended but fantastic job

[@PoppinBgO]

Y'all new cag players are lucky. This guide is perfect, i spent hours in the lab learning this. To see it all come out in a nice format with the actual good stuff in there stings a bit. Props to you Aco you're content is leagues above the rest. When can we get some Match reviews. We dont see Cag win a lot in tournament and i love to see more videos on why.

[@Fenpwet]

Amazing guide ! Will come back to it often as I'm sure things I learn from this will kick in little by little. Thank you for making it !

[@torterragarden]

Fantastic guide! I've loved learning this character, she's so much fun

[@J4smash]

WE FOUNDING ALCHEMY WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥

[@SylVeKupo]

Great job! Super insightful and well organized and edited!

[@HomeslicedVideos]

Amazing guide, you're very easy to understand, clear, and give just the right amount of helpful thoughts and advice for each topic you review. You brought up several details on various topics that I didnt know before. Thanks!

[@PoppinBgO]

For defense, I find that cag has a fantastic reversal sweep. It's 7frames and is active for 5 frames. It's probably my favorite button in the whole game. If possible you should show case Cag's Chip setups for post guard cancel. Also guard cancel them into the corner is a good chance for mix as you get a free trap. Similar to Combo Limit RC ender

[@Nyatlikethis]

Amazing guide, thank you for this!

[@jacobp1540]

Very good guide! Thank you Acolyte sensei

[@gdotwiz]

THANK YOU!! Been searching for a good How To Cag video and here we are! 1st time Gran player trying to get into it. 🤝🏼

[@ardidsonriente2223]

Amazing work, Acolyte. You are the best. All the thanks!

[@blastarrow6562]

Thank you for making the best Cag guide!

[@keybladekyle9458]

I learn a good amount of this already but defenatly not all of it. Thank you, now i will turn more people into my pretty statues

[@kendrel2099]

This is great! Thank you.

[@azzya5696]

I haven’t played fighters in a while but picked this up today. I was a huge Blazblue fan and mained Rachel and she seems like a close fit. That and I main her in Granblue ReLink so I appreciate the guide!

[@supersonic159]

Cannot wait to get my Cag game up to par, perfect thing to do before 2B!

[@kurai345]

Great video man, Cag has always been one of my favorites in the gacha so I really wanted to learn her in gbvs.

[@MisterAcolyte]

thanks! glad to help!

[@crushdzn]

this guide is awesome. i watched it like 3 times now lmao

[@BakanoJutsu]

Not much of a Cag player, but your insights are always good to note

[@jay22346]

THIS is what I needed

[@natunuggets5692]

Real Cag Posting Hours 📖 Jokes aside, I love these guides for how well they're put together. Very well paced and chill!

[@TheBlueAkumu]

Nah where was this guide when i had to learn cag in the first GB years ago. Thank you for this.

[@Jetsuki]

Time to get into Master Rank with this guide, thanks !

[@w2rdog]

I love this tysm

[@TempYard]

I needed this so badly you don’t understand 😭

[@LordOfAllSwine]

I am nier main and I have been playing cag on the side this might be enough to make me change characters lol thank you for the guide.

[@Smashkid0004]

Cag is easily one of my favorite characters that I want to play, I'm just conflicted cause since she's a stand of-ish character, I'm worried that if my other friends trying and get into the game, I'd be worried to fight them because I don't think they'd like fighting against cag and then they'd translate that into they don't like the game since they are new. It happened when I was trying to get them into skull girls and they stopped playing because I was playing peacock, I know she's a really good loner but she's also my favorite character, not through gamelan but just personality wise.

[@urnotmax8978]

id hate you too for playing peacock

[@SewrRat]

Skullgirls player w (even though you play pea)

[@GoshaGordeev-yg5bc]

thanks for this vid i hope she will be in free roster next time so i can practice all of this

[@CornadaTV]

Damn, guess it’s time to learn Cag 🗿

[@Laezar1]

nice, that's going to be useful for the next rotation ^^ I really want to try cag I love her vibe I played a very small amount of the previous game and was playing cag but she seems to be a big winner with the rising transition, getting a reversal that isn't her entire super aswell as the brave counter makes her defense a lot better and the ultimate spikes seems great, the ultimate trap looks a bit silly though lol, just this big purple chonker on the field

[@FrostyKiwis]

tysm for this guide! i am now never going to play any online matches because i’m scared

[@sandstorm7790]

Amazing guides as always Aco. I gotta ask, do you plan to play any other characters in the future? I'd love to see your take on someone like zooey or grimnir or maybe 2-B when she comes out.

[@Sylnic]

This is a fantastic starter guide! It's lined up with a lot of what I've figured out, and I learned a lot of new stuff too, so thanks! I do want to double check though, did you know 66L can actually combo into c.M? It frame traps as well afaik. You have to be really close to the opponent to get it, but it's a great way to convert off of 66L pressure. Even if they block it, we can do anything we'd normally do after an autocombo.

[@MisterAcolyte]

you can connect c.M if your dash attack hits really deep, but cag's dash L is very stubby. This is why I recommend 5L which always connects.

[@BeenNoticing]

Leap frog into trap mix is so satisfying.

[@bigmanlittlebrain6656]

not gonna play cag, but this'll be good for the matcup knowledge thanks for the info

[@Trigun_Bebop]

Great guide for a sick but intimidating looking character. Thank you!

[@TheLoneAlpaca]

Damn I guess I gotta buy this game now huh

[@bruhgeode350]

I dont even have granblue but this video is amazing

[@MisterAcolyte]

hahaha I appreciate it

[@luvaanima]

I did want to try out Cag when Rising got out....Now I kinda have to XD

[@AcridStingray4]

I'm having a lot of trouble with Gran's M Fireball (I assume it applies to any multihit HKD fireball): It beats uncharged rock, and it sort of feels like it beats calculated too with the HKD (I will get hit after Gran does and thus he will get up first and advance on me). This ends up with me being afraid to use either of these and just resorting to trying to play neutral by zoning with f.M / 2M, which feels low reward medium risk (a whiff puts me into strike throw hell, a hit / block just gets me back to trying to zone). The worst part is that he is not guaranteed to fireball of course, so he will also just rush me for free once I'm scared of it. How do you deal with this?

[@wingspantt]

Really good guide. Please make more especially for characters like Percy who don't have ANY guides on YT. Also is it just me or did you not discuss her Alexandria move at all?

[@MisterAcolyte]

thanks! Alexandria is mostly just a combo ender! I wouldn't recommend it for much else!

[@shadowkingxeno]

Before watching this I thought cag was a trash character but now I realize the error of my ways and that I’m just trash I will be learning cag later today😊

[@BigJay_]

I have a problem where anytime I see her super I think of your intro of her turning into eddie and it makes me wanna watch a vid

[@MisterAcolyte]

hahahahaha

[@MrDefender1234]

Love the Guide so far as a new Cagliostro player but I am confused by the controler at the bottom of the screen, how are you doing your specials? It seems to not show any of your inputs except for the L/M/H/U input?

[@MrDefender1234]

Or at least only sometimes it seems? Very weird.

[@MisterAcolyte]

I use a mixture of simple inputs, and technical inputs!

[@gir1573]

Hey I was wondering how you got the red orb? Is it a mod? I only see the blue version.

[@MisterAcolyte]

It's one of the last level up rewards you unlock with her!

[@gir1573]

@@MisterAcolyte badass, now I got a goal thanks.

[@veralena8156]

Cagliostro announced for free rotation you know how it is

[@MisterAcolyte]

lol perfect timing

[@Dylan321321]

Is this an intentional monkey sound edit @ 27:53? 😂

[@Velacroix]

Not at all relevant, but I do wish Cag's model was this nice in Relink.

[@MisterAcolyte]

I think she looks good in relink but yeah, it's hard to compete with arcsys models lol

[@raqueltyrant]

Hey that’s the girl in the intro

[@pain_tse7393]

Ufr

[@TheGameClub]

Amazing! Thank you!! I just had a thought, since this video is so long I spent portions of time listening to it without looking at the video. It would be effective if you had a very soft chime/sound play every time a tip comes up, so I know when to look at the screen. From one small content creator to the other 😊

[@MisterAcolyte]

thanks! I appreciate the feedback, but I feel with the amount of tips in the guide, a sound notification could get annoying! Also it's mostly a visual guide so I just assume most people are going to watch at a pace that works for them, that's why my guides are broken down into sections!

[@TheGameClub]

​@@MisterAcolyteFair enough, there are definitely a lot in this one, especially in the combo section. Maybe if a different video it could work. That said, the total damage was covered in the combo section, which kinda sucked, but isn't the end of the world.

[@SpockShirtleB3rri3s]

lol very kind of Arcsys to put her in free rotation after this vid. You had no idea, right?

[@MisterAcolyte]

just a huge coincidence lol

[@ramollossthug3347]

Someone want to train with me I take every rank (I'm b btw )

[@czitos666]

Can you prove that you hit master rank ?;)

[@cooltwittertag]

can you summarize this guide in 3 words? I have a tiktok attention span

I close my game against Caglio, not worth the headache fr 🥸
