Casual Set: Bannock VS Arcusmarc (4) | All Star Battle R

These were recorded November 18th, and also immediately after the Kira v Valentine games of the previous upload. You’ll notice a lack of YAPPING and that’s because I unplugged my mic to listen to music instead of yammering because ASBR without music isn’t ASBR at all…
4Taro v Valentine is an insanely cheater MU, but at the end of the day it’s still 4Taro favoured imo, at least slightly. I have always held this opinion, but I hadn’t really grinded the MU since Valentine got giga overtuned with air clone and OTG s.623x. Before he got those, I always thought the MU very good for 4Taro, but now with those changes it’s only just **pretty good. Basically, pre patch Valentine struggled to have consistent oki just like in general, especially against 4Taro, and he also struggled in neutral a lot more without the insane pressure air clone gives, and it was a bit of a problem getting corpse parts because of it too. Plus, with 4Taro always having HKD, Valentine needs to spend a lot of meter to keep his corpse parts anyways. Now, with air clone giving Valentine oppressive neutral and oki, alongside OTG s.623x giving him access to a pretty insane vortex through throw loops and s.623x combo enders, he evens up the MU a lot more, and basically negates those glaring issues. s.623x gives Valentine SO MUCH meter it’s insane. Plus, in Love Train, landing throw gives him pretty much 0.7 bars + 200 damage + vortex setup. He also can get s.623x if you burst during his HKD sections, at the end of every combo, or just from landing clone/2H, all which loops back to this vortex. It’s very oppressive and easy to setup, that char is pretty broken now on the down low. Whether he’s broken or not, 4Taro is also an insane cheater character who just so happens to have a pretty good time against Valentine. 4Taro can punish 623x on landing, j214x, and s.236x consistently with s.3H at close/medium range into full combo (which yknow, is his best starter anyways) so that’s very good. 4Taros only real problem in this MU is that he doesn’t have a reversal so you really do need to hold Valentine oki a lot of the time, where 3Taro 623H for example prob invuls through air clone setups and also obviously beats the grounded stuff too. It’s a little rough, but it’s not too hard to stay ahead as 4Taro here. Last thing to mention is that you can’t go for typical TS setups unfortunately because Valentine can flag up and hit you from the ground, but I did still go for it a few times with varying success. Losing access to cheap resets like that is pretty damn rough though. Overall though, idk, MU seems fine.
That’s all I’m gonna say this time around, shoutout who… shoutout Casey Crescenzo….

27:10 from this point to the next 20 seconds it's just valentine trying to hide in the next dimension and 4taro is like: NOPE. (LMAOOOO, you were so good at catching up arcus everytime he'd go out of his flag)
4taro is really the ultimate player of hide and seek

[@BannockMeatball]

I’d hope with how much MU experience I have I’d be good at catching flag LOL, but yea this MU is kinda goofy like that since 4Taro is super good at that

[@djaxking]
