he is a very heavy meter relying character since CS~ no matter mix ups or long combos all require rapid with him so yea. (i excluded CT cuz CT you could almost dash cancel outta everything to make things chain together lol)
I hope I'm not the only one here, but while I may get annoyed at the changes, I'm excited to see what people can pull off with new ragna. Hopefully CF will be out on console at some point...
I know that the Exceed Accel Distortion Drives don't have a minimum damage set like regular DD's, making them terrible combo enders, but is it possible for you to show some of them off? Maybe combos from them seeing as they automatically give you Active Flow (if that is even possible, perhaps via a Rapid Cancel or something?). Also, since it is a DD, does it steal health when Ragna uses it? By the way, great video! I like the variety here in the combo starters and their screen placement. It's pretty awesome how fast people are discovering combos, seeing as it is currently arcade exclusive.
+Jourdal You can't RC an exceed accel, but the benefit to using it would be to get a decent ender (as in resetting neutral, not damage lol) when you don't have meter. that's about all I could think of
+ShelledMenace The benefit is that you enter Active Flow after using an Exceed Accel. If you don't have Overdrive available and Active Flow is triggered, then your Overdrive's recovery time is vastly decreased. This means that ending overdrive with an EA can lead into having another overdrive ready within less than about ten seconds. It's great for characters like Ragna and Hakumen who are very dependent on their Overdrives. However, since AF can only be activated once per round, EA become less practical after you have used up your AF.
+gamedefier Ah wow I didnt know AF was only once per round. Also Im guessing you meant to say OD recovery is increased when you enter AF right? Just cause what you said about quickly recovering OD wouldnt make sense unless you just typoed. lol
Honestly i didn't enjoy so much the OD combos, always ending with devoured by darkness (wich is damage nerfed) and always ending outside corner even if it start from corner. However i found pretty strange that astral combos are so easy to confirm.
+Jourdal His damage mostly. That was what made ragna good cuz his mixup is worse than the higher tiers. His footsies are the same so he cant be terrible I guess that was an exaggeration on my part :-|
+Peter Parker Oh well, damage nerfs across the board but its probably because: -CH adds bonus damage (first hit) -Active flow increases every moves damage by 10% damage under those circumstances end up comparable to before or more in some cases.
+Jourdal I guess thats understandable. I didnt know active flow gave that big of a damage boost. I'm not a huge fan of active flow but i can live with it i guess.

RIP Belial edge, press 214 C to pay respects.
RIP in piece Belial Edge..
You will be missed
+Tahmitron697 Unlimited Raggy still has it though :3
gamedefier so unlimited ragna have both nightmare and belial?
Yep, he has both. Makes you wonder why they never gave Belial Edge to normal Ragna.
AWWW SHIT. RAG COMBOS. AWW SHIET.
B>C>ASTRAL
correction.
6b> D>cancel to ASTRAL FINIIISHHH
Didn't even realise that was a thing till this video. As well as 5D(1)>ASTRAL.
Neat.
How to combo with Ragna:
Get 50 Gauge
-> Rapid Cancel.
Done.
what....
Almost all combos in this video need rapid cancel so.
it's a joke. lol
most of the combos are meterless 4k damage though
he is a very heavy meter relying character since CS~ no matter mix ups or long combos all require rapid with him so yea. (i excluded CT cuz CT you could almost dash cancel outta everything to make things chain together lol)
Well, yeah, that's kinda how Blazblue works. There aren't many characters that can get 3.5-4k and over without Overdrive or using Meter in some way.
Saw the title and thought "wow that took a while for him to pop up"
Ikr lol
My god, every single hit confirms to black onslaught.
so cheap, I love it.
I would like to see him do an Overdrive Nightmare Edge combo and wall bounce them into a Black Onslaught, that'd be awesome. Might be too slow though.
Dat Nightmare Edge tho
Oh~ Yes!
I hope I'm not the only one here, but while I may get annoyed at the changes, I'm excited to see what people can pull off with new ragna. Hopefully CF will be out on console at some point...

Idk if you can RC an EA and I don't think you'd want to use EA early since it forces OD to end.
+Jourdal You can't RC an exceed accel, but the benefit to using it would be to get a decent ender (as in resetting neutral, not damage lol) when you don't have meter. that's about all I could think of
+Jourdal Forgot, the earlier you cancel OD the quicker you get it back, so that's the benefit. I think? I forget :x
+ShelledMenace The benefit is that you enter Active Flow after using an Exceed Accel. If you don't have Overdrive available and Active Flow is triggered, then your Overdrive's recovery time is vastly decreased.

nice combos indeed, I couldnt help but notice that the OD gauge stopped draining slightly during your combos. is that the hitstop?
(that's not me) I think it's just a new visual thing
in Ragna's devoured by darkness, is that still seither, or the same as Naoto's blood?
Finally!! Awesome, he still does crazy damage XD
Okay but will Patrick Seitz actually say 'fuck' in this game?
It'll make Ragna SSS-Tier.
That'll be the straw to Break the camel's back to make it rated mature (so close yet so far...lol)
Funny, D.B.D is now what C.S was in CPEX.
kind of wish there was more non-overdrive combos, but still cool none the less
this guys videos are always like this, hopefully there will be more
Huh, it looks like they made Black Onslaught's startup faster.
wow its dumb easy to combo into astral now lol
is that a new version of Belial Edge or a additional version
meant to say D version like inferno divider.
new move called nightmare edge, application is not the same as BE, more like HF
+Jourdal so did they remove BE?
+SharinganMaster24 Yes.
Honestly i didn't enjoy so much the OD combos, always ending with devoured by darkness (wich is damage nerfed) and always ending outside corner even if it start from corner. However i found pretty strange that astral combos are so easy to confirm.
COMBOOOS
lol easy too confirm into astral
Ragna got nerfed to poo. Im cool with it i guess. poor rag :/
what about him seems nerfed to that extent...
+Jourdal His damage mostly. That was what made ragna good cuz his mixup is worse than the higher tiers. His footsies are the same so he cant be terrible I guess that was an exaggeration on my part :-|
+Peter Parker Oh well, damage nerfs across the board but its probably because:
-CH adds bonus damage (first hit)
-Active flow increases every moves damage by 10%
damage under those circumstances end up comparable to before or more in some cases.
+Jourdal I guess thats understandable. I didnt know active flow gave that big of a damage boost. I'm not a huge fan of active flow but i can live with it i guess.
+Peter Parker izayoi ch phorizor + od + af damage = pbs.twimg.com/media/CV5zwPyWwAAoUZv.jpg
