I would also like to play Orie but I'm shallow and I hate her theme song even though I like her as a character. Also, man, she does require some pretty clean inputs

Is there a trick to getting in on chaos? Between his AUB monster claw attack and fireball spam sometimes I feel like I just get trapped in a position where it's not true blockstun, but I don't have enough time to move forward.

Nanase's theme isn't bad per se but it's also a short-rear end loop that replays forever and ever AND EVER

I didn't think Nanase's theme was that bad until I watched a streamer play with that as the bgm for two hours. Then I finally understood.

If you're at a range where Chaos himself can't reach you, feel free to hold shield for free GRD and frame advantage because Azhi has no mixup.

I understood it when someone was trying out Nanase's missions during a meetup for half an hour or so. It gets old so fast Robin Williams as Jack ain't got poo poo on it.

Linne's theme is the overall best, and I guess Yuzuriha's by extension. Some start strong but the main loop is a letdown.

Since you're Gordeau, you can probably get Vorpal, you can use chain shift to force an opening in his blockstrings then DP. Also, try to spot the timings for when Azhi is vulnerable, the white flashes and the icon on Chaos's HUD make it pretty clear. You can easily poke him down with B or C pokes if you have a second of room.

I always thought Nanase's theme was pretty decent. Its really bright and cheerful compared to the usual I hear in practice which is Hilda's dark gloomy theme.

Just replace her default theme with this version.

Also Linne's theme is somehow more Melty Blood than Eltnum's, I never noticed it until now but drat.

I got the basic combo down for Hilda!! I know this isn't much for everyone who are skilled at fighting games but I'm a total noob and it took like an hour to get the hang of holding down the b button for combos and then getting it right consistently.

Good work!! Even if you're experienced with fighting games, negative edge is awkward at first because (at least for me) holding down a button while doing a combo isn't a natural feeling. Something I enjoy about fighting games is struggling with something for hours, and then weeks later you do it again and consistently breeze through it without even thinking about it. It's a nice feeling of progress. If you ever reach the point you wanna watch high-level Hilda footage, Angel of Sol is nice and answers questions while streaming netplay (or on twitter).

In general for anyone who wants to watch high-level footage of their character, Chainshift collects tournament matches so you can easily find it even if you don't know player names. It's like keeponrock.in for any GG players out there.

I practiced Eltnum a little bit solely because of this tier list. Hey, if the game isn't going to let me change BGMs for training mode, might as well pick a character I both kinda like from an aesthetic point, and doesn't have a theme song that will drive me insane

That, and Orie's Persona kinda looks like some episode-of-the-week Enemy Stand, so that's kind of disappointing.

And then I tried Eltnum in arcade mode to see what her personality is like

Elt, you're good people

You can change the BGM for training mode but not trials which is why I've developed an immunity to Nanase's theme.

I picked this game up because it looks rad. If I want to focus on a character that’s not too execution heavy and won’t teach me bad habits what are my options? Enkidu, Nanase and Linne? Yuzuriha looks super cool but the execution requirements.... :(

Thanks. Its actually quite surprising I was struggling all last night getting the combo down at least once. And now today I'm able to breeze through the combos without much of an issue. But this is just training mode and I haven't really taken it into a real fight yet where the enemy moves around unpredictably. Hilda is definitely really fun once things start flowing and you bounce them around like a pinball. I'm pretty sure I've seen angel of sol in an online tournament somewhere? I remember seeing a Hilda player during a NA tournament and that was when I decided I wanted to play Hilda when I got the game.

That’s a good thought but I was thinking I’d like to play someone who makes you good at the game generally because they’re relatively simple so you’re forced to learn the system level stuff. My impression was getting good at Merkava makes you good at Merkava and not so much the game generally because he’s weird enough and has character specific things. Does that seem accurate?

Here's a chart from someone who knows a lot that is about what you're looking for.
