Free Step Dodge

Especially when people start going to the training mode and start memorizing on where to hold her.

I do not have a pocket Naotora. I have a main Naotora. XD

Same @xDevious! XD Marie was my third main behind Kasumi and phase 4, but the loli's gonna have to sadly make way for Nao.

Yaasss! I just said "Gomenasai, ALPHA!" and dropped her to a sub to make way for Naotora. Cx

She really is fun to use! XD I think Nao mirrors are probably the most hectic match now, it's like a scramble to see who can score that long KK string first

She is indeed! XD Ugh, I usually do not play her when the opponent is. XD I don't like mirrors, and Naotora Vs. Naotora is no different. XD I usually just use ALPHA, Helena, Phase or Christie against her. Also, I try to stay away from her long K strings. I just free cancel her a lot. XD

What I do since I use Kasumi is just back away a distance from the nao player and I space them, and "test the waters" so I can see when it's safe to rush them. When they start kicking I sit back and wait for a recovery time and I usually either throw them or free cancel like you do.

If I use Nao, I just space them and crush them overhead with her nifty 9KK or troll with the 2 H+K Oh, and her 66T is awesome too, so much damage :-D

Lol, I basically do the same. XD I usually either throw punish them, if I have time, or I go for a i9 jab to beat her out and get a CH. Then, if I play ALPHA-152, I just start fishing for holds and punish them with B.U.R.S.T for a couple of easy rounds where I do not have to deal with Naotora mash. XD

I rarely use 9KK when I play as her, though, because it's really bad on block.. I should use it to crush more stuff, though. XD It's a pretty good crush. Her 2H+K is really good, I use that a lot too! Cx

That reminds me, did you want to play sometime? I wanted to send you and Jaimy an invite to play, but I'm always too gun shy to do so, so I usually wait till the player sends me one to know that they weren't busy or in the middle of something

Of course, I'd love to play with you sometime! Never be shy to send me invites. ^_^ The worst that can happen is that I've fallen asleep and won't join, or just can't join for other reasons. If I'm on DOA, I'm either playing Online with randoms, or alone offline in training mode, so I'm always happy when I recieve invites. XD

Jaimy and I will both be online later, as he'll probably stream, so maybe you can join in then?

[Oops, typo: receive*]

That'd be great! I'll try to gauge the time differences, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem :-D I just hope I won't lag you guys since I'm in NA :-/

Okay, awesome! Looking forward to it. :3
Yeah, the lag "MIGHT" be a problem due to the regional differences, but you never know. Might as well give it a try. ^_^

No matter how cool or good Naotora is Kasumi stays my main and she will always be my main. Naotora is a #4 main
Kasumi Momiji and Raidou are my top 3.

Raidou used to be someone I used a lot but then I realized I'm better suited to faster characters who I can space with

Not me! I'm not into the tiger business. ;P

No, you're into the dragons XD

Exactly, tigers are for nerds. ( ͡ ͡° ω ͡ ͡°)
