This is my method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEwJSX9PMc0 (Skip to 0:50 cause I jabber a lot :P) Dunno if this method is practical enough for new people who wanna pick him up though.
Hayate doesn't even need 3H+K. That move is really really over abused online. He's got plenty of other tools to win the match. Most Hayate players tend to neglect his other great tools like 4P, 214P, etc. and just 3H+K all over the place lol. There's a reason why he is considered the best...
Lisa's looks so distracting in gameplay lol. Still looks good though. I'm glad Rachel's doesn't seem to clip or its hardly noticeable. Overall, I'd say Helena got the worst one in this pack. That one just straight up looks bad.
Kinda disappointed Rachel didn't get Baiken but gotta say she looks cool as Millia. On the bright side, it doesn't look like it will be a clipping fest given that image but I'll have to see a video first to determine that :P
You're not alone man lol. I was the same way when Hayate got his SW costume. Always been more of an Ein fan, but couldn't let the opportunity to play as Yukimura slip away.
