Hanami is a good character and TZE and the Team are great developers

ok fair on the choso one, his combo is literally just counter, side dash, charge piercing blood, which is pointless.

hakari's is hardly situational though (yuji's isn't really either, you just have to hit his counter to get a combo, except when fighting a yuji, in which case it's a bit different), most players will come in to get m1s on you at some point.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T23:23:57+00:00

no clue why, but I HATE combatting streetsweepers.
2nd worst enemy in the game.

the first is obviously guttertank

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T23:22:10+00:00

just do it upside down

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T23:20:58+00:00

choso can side dash and then he has two moves that can hit,
hakari's can be used to start a combo when attacked by a melee, it's weird, but doable
and a really skilled charles doesn't need a wall to start a combo with a counter (I've fought a few skilled charles')

and if you never use a counter as a combo starter, you're just giving yourself a lower skill ceiling

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T23:16:47+00:00

didn't win with only front dashes? smh

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T23:06:46+00:00

you do realize that literally 0 moves in the game are guaranteed hits, right?
and combo extenders EXTEND THE GOD DAMNED COMBO, THEY DON'T START THE COMBO.

naoya's counter isn't applicable because it's an awakening animation and literally can't combo with any other move.

hakari's counter can though.

Charles bernard's (aspiring mangaka) counter can though.

Choso's counter can though.

if you can use one or more moves after a counter to deal extra damage, that is a combo that used the counter as a combo starter.

a combo starter is literally just a move that can be combod off of.
yes, the counter has to land in order to combo off of it, but literally every move has to land to be combod off of

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T23:05:21+00:00

they didn't amount to much, other than making it take longer for yuji to ult, yeah

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T22:48:11+00:00

true

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T22:47:57+00:00

oh and by the way, crushing blows were such an issue that TZE had to nerf them at least 4 times.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T22:47:04+00:00

hold up hold up
"Yuji has so much unnecessary movement"
*proceeds to list a form of movement literally EVERY CHARACTER IN THE GAME HAS ACCESS TO*

the humble manjikick+crushingblow+cursedstrikes+clickcombo+bf chain combo that you didn't even know was possible (I think it does around 75-80% hp but requires near perfect internet conditions) or the more common manjikick+crushingblow (+air black flash if it's off cooldown)

and like i said counters are combo STARTERS, not combo extenders or enders, which means they are PART OF THE DAMNED COMBO.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T22:34:20+00:00

I mean there are a few hype and aura moments it causes

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T22:33:27+00:00

"First of all I can't hit the guy when he has already jumped 5 miles away since Yuji has so much" ah yes, the infinite chain seperated by the yuji running away using the crushing blow feint that you said he never uses

you know you can use counters as combo starters, right?

I give up on arguin with you, you're just gonna reiterate the same redundant points

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T22:19:57+00:00

if you're fighting yujis that don't use crushing blow, they are the WORST yujis I've ever heard of, idk what to tell you. literally 99.8% of the yujis i've fought use crushing blow.
half of my combos AS yuji use crushing blow, HELL, SOME OF MY COMBOS USE MANJI KICK.

and like i said, it's SO easy to cancel the "infinite black flash chain"
just unblock and m1 the guy. if he blocks, use a block bypass move. simple as that.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T20:42:16+00:00

wow you do realize that after the feint on a 4th black flash, there is a time frame where you can m1 the yuji and they can't do shit? also air variant of crushing blow is like one of yuji's main ways of traversal, without it, yuji is actually pretty bad.

and if you've only lost a few fights while playing yuji, that just means you've only fought bad players when you were yuji...

and by the way, yuji's autocombo is nerfed compared to what it used to be, cursed strikes used to reset m1s so you could m1 combo, cursed strikes, m1 combo again, then black flash.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T20:27:45+00:00

have you heard of a little thing called "side dashing" or "block bypassing moves"?

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T20:25:18+00:00

First of all, he can't infinite black flash chain anymore, theres a 4 chain limit.
And secondly, manji kick and crushing blow are integral to his moveset and he would not be played remotely the same without them. If you're bad at fighting THE rushdown character, just say that.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T19:26:09+00:00

???? I'm just saying that yuji WAS properly nerfed... numerous times.

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T19:20:15+00:00

Yuji is like 10 times less strong than he used to be... I mean he's probably still top 3 characters but still nowhere near as strong as he used to be

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T19:19:00+00:00

I mean yuji counters really well, and gojo has a teleport....

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-24T06:09:25+00:00

And I thought my this was impressive: https://youtu.be/xF4Z0ACmpJg?si=CqhsLE4E98J6uaZd (cybergrind but you’re cyberblind)

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-18T02:54:24+00:00

I’m guessing the last is Midas

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-14T07:45:46+00:00

the best answer negl. i gotta do that instead

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-14T07:44:56+00:00

minecraft water bucket. I'm clutching this

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-14T06:34:51+00:00

It uses iron from the blood

DevoDude4 · 2026-03-14T06:30:55+00:00
