PSA: Zato isn't plus enough to get any real meaties off of his command grab, let alone a full Eddie summon. If he does Eddie guard off of command grab it's basically a free throw for you.

What was the song playing during the last fight

[@MultiSonicRules]

I wonder if you could grab or command grab ZATO=1 while he's doing the corner set up before he command grabs you if you be unafraid of Eddie's long start up (though I think I did see you try this and only get it some of the time). Though I think we know that the main reason why this match up is so hard is because Nagoriyuki has absolutely no movement without blood gain and it sucks. It's a damn shame too, I was really looking forward to playing him when the game dropped.

[@justinguardner3129]

I'm maining Nago for the culture

[@Romeo_of_Romelution]

[@jacobdiaz6941]

[@falconette8911]

Hmm, can command grabs tech command grabs in Strive? I never actually labbed that during the betas but I know sometimes arc sys games have that and Nago has his bite. Also there was that funny bug when Axl and Faust command grabbed each other at the same time in the first beta so...could Nago's command grab have been used to gain some ground against Zato here?

no

[@neserikalucard1988]

wait im confuse what does that move do and how do you beat it?

[@tinibari456]

it’s a command grab. nago in particular doesn’t have good options against zato in the corner, it seems. at a certain point you need to guess between grab or more block pressure. bursting probably could beat it, but idk if eddie would absorb a burst for zato.

[@simpcat4415]

Yeah, and his design doesn’t really match his gameplay. Like a vampire samurai you would assume is trying to get up close and personal, but instead you have to play him by only punishing what your opponent does. I love the bite though, that moves like sick

[@kogorun]

@@simpcat4415 I mean, looking to punish a move over doing moves yourself seems like kendo to me.

[@simpcat4415]

@@kogorun yeah, but I guess I’m more talking about the vampire part. Like he has this blood meter and has this violent reaction to it when it’s full, but then he stands up and resumes a stiff, awkward, focused stance. Idk, he just seems really underwhelming despite having one of the coolest designs in the game. Like May is doing cooler more impactful looking things than this buff vampire guy, he just looks out of place. His design and theme song are both fire though.

[@CamFGC]

@@simpcat4415 It fits him, but they just made it bad. All his blood moves still fit the theme of a careful samurai character, they just over punished him for using them in this version of the game. I think they wanted the player to ALSO think carefully and calculated rather than just throwing out blood moves all willy nilly

[@simpcat4415]

[@CharlesPlaine]

I dont know why that made Blood Rage last only 4 seconds. A simple 2K is like 300 damage at that point. You have zero time to use the better normals or free super. Its messed up. Like I wouldnt even mind the changes to Nago blood gain if I had some time to ATTEMPT to set-up SOMETHING before losing my entire lifebar. Like they shouldnt even have a rage mode if its only going to last that short of a time, just take my life and let me try to FD and poke my way to a W.
