    Felt the forum needed its obligatory who are you maining thread! Plus I'm interested to see if the spread has changed since BB:CT. I've not added the other 2 DLC characters and they've not actually been offically announced yet and while Makoto isn't out yet, she's pretty close.
     
    I'll probably continue to try and main a dodgy Taokaka, although I might start learning Tsubaki as she looks pretty fun.

    I started with Noel, but I've moved on to Arakune for the pure mindfuck potential. I also like Tao, Rachel and Lichi...all the relatively quick characters. 
    Hopefully Hazama will suit my play style, cause naturally i'd like to main him. 
    We really do need Jubei as a playable character...he makes Kurt Russell look like a pansy.

    I think i'm going with Hazama, since my CT main Noel was nerfed pretty bad. 
     
    Plus Hazama is just a badass mofo!

    Played Bang in CT, and I'm going to continue playing Bang in CS. Very happy with all the improvements that Bang got, and I love comboing into his new super.

    Boobie Lady is the right mix of speed, range and tricks.  Rachel is all tricks, and Tao is all speed, so I likes me some Litchi.

    @RenMcKormack: Don't you mean "INFERNO DIVIDAH"?
     
    As for me, I used to be a Noel player, then she got inexplicably nerfed. Just try fighting a Bang or Litchi player of equal or better skill. You'll be lucky to win one round, let alone one match with Noel.
     
    I'm trying to main Tager, probably because I gravitate towards grapplers in fighting games and/or I'm a glutton for punishment. The problem with Tager is not just that you could order a pizza in the time it takes his sledgehammer to hit, but that he has a hitbox the size of Australia, so if you screw up once you can be juggled for several seconds before you finally get another chance to try again.
     
    It's almost enough to make me throw up my hands, say "fuck this" and just go with either Jin or Hazama.

    In CT I mained Noel, In this game I'm still going to main Noel cause she is still fun, I don't know why some people complain that she's been nerfed, but meh thats just my opinion, However I've been looking for a new sub and Mu-12 is really fun XD

    I still love to play as Noel. I find her style mesmerizing, and she is my love. 
    I just hate they changed Fenrir combination. A lot harder to use in a combo in my opinon. 
     
    I also like playing as Hazama and Tsubaki. I feel they were great addition to the fight roster, and am looking forward to Makoto as well. 
    I think training mode makes it so everyone knows how to play Ragna @.@

    Wow, that is one hell of a combo against a training dummy, but completely unfeasible against actual people. If anyone lets their opponent pull that off against them in a real match, they should just surrender right there and get pelted by popcorn balls on their walk of shame out of the room.

    @Vade: I dunno if it's tool assisted or what. Either way, I doubt anyone will be able to pull it off online, even with the excellent netcode. I'd much rather bow out on one of them than my usual; drop combo - scuff block string - die like idiot.

    Aside from liking her fighting style her name is fun to just say randomly.

    What I know about Ragna is you can get up to some MvC2 nonsense with that one air combo he's got.  I got hit up so many times and so high that I thought I might go out of the top and appear at the bottom.
     
    So I hear Litchi is now a high tier character in CS?  I'm still playing CT (and I've always enjoyed the strategy of controlling space with the stick), so what have they changed to improve her?  Are there better offensive ways of throwing down the stick, because I find my opponents are wise to the backjump-stick throwdown-quartercircle fierce-low medium poke-four gods malarky I try throwing.  By the time I'm in backjump, they're already gassing up the ice car.

    @Brodehouse:  Her average combo damage is extremely high. Any combo will do 4-5k, take you to the corner and setup oki. She'll also build 50 meter to super with every combo. CT trinity getting worse and Litchi receiving slight buffs pushed her to the top.  Her defence is a bit worse since they nerfed her dp but otherwise mostly the same.
     
    I'd throw the tier list away, imo. Litchi requires so much execution to show that S rank. Anyone is viable with the possible exception of Rachel. I wouldn't underestimate her either, though.

    While I am absolute garbage at this game, been going with Hakumen as my main. Usually I'm a big fan of the high damage/low combo characters (Honda main in SSF4) so Hakumen is right up my alley.

    @Vade:  Interesting.  I'll have to take that into consideration, as I'm generally a pretty defensive player and used Litchi with hit-and-run tactics in CT.  I've heard Bang has improved, which I find pleasing.  I find his style to emphasize hit and run.
     
    Bummer about Rachel.  She's always great to break out to screw with your friends.  My friend Terik was a Street Fighter fiend, and when I hit him with Rachel, it was like the game started speaking at him in a language he didn't understand.

    @Ace829:  Are you kidding me? Rachel was OP as hell. Her offence never ends and wind is the best drive in the game. Good rachels are rare but they'll tear you to pieces. (Though Nu is the worse of the two as she requires zero skill to play at average level.)
     
    @Brodehouse:  Well you just poke away until you manage to hit, then you convert that hit into a full combo into the corner and do your pressure. So hit & run until you get the knockdown in the corner, then it's lights out.

    I've stayed with my main man tager, but I'm not sure I like his new play style. I 'm working on Hazama now and I always like characters like makoto is going to play.  So I very well change my main.

    I main Arakune, and sub Ragna.  I use Arakune because his combos are easy to execute and his space control is excellent.  I back up as Ragna since he is simple to use and powerful.  I'm trying to learn Hazama as well but may switch over to Tsubaki.

    @Kapwan: Did you main Arakune in the last game too? I play a fair amount locally vs a player who likes their Arakune and they seem to be one of the characters who's undergone the most change. Just wondering how he (it?) is to play now, I think they said it's all about the curse build up to BEEEEZZZ rather than corner traps of doom.

    I played Arakune in CT as well.  His entire strategy is much different now since you have to build the curse meter now instead of being a one hit instant.  The change forced me to learn how to win with Arakune without relying on his Curse and in turn it made me a better player.  He is still death in the corner if you have the curse but without curse he is much easier to deal with now.  However an advanced Arakune player will still be able to control space well with curse clouds and bugs, while gradually building up curse meter.

    You could always make an updated poll in the near future once he's confirmed for NA.
    I hope Jubei also becomes playable at some point.

    Been playing Noel since the day I got CT and continued on the tradition in CS. But man, some of the changes made to her hit her hard, really hard. 
     
    I like a challenge, but it's gotten to the point where I die a little inside everytime someone picks Tager as their character. That matchup is so fucked up it's not even funny anymore :/

    I dont. That fight is much more skewed than that 5-5 suggests. 
     
    I'll fight a Bang, Litchi or Ragna any day, but Tager is just horrible. :<
