New PFP just dropped :0 Thousand thanks to @BlobmouseFGC on twitter who drew this Kagura for me completely for free 😭 Kentoki requested this artist for his Driving Lessons graduate art, which you can see on blobmouse's twitter! x.com/BlobmouseFGC... They did a wonderful job with the commission!

However, even with spending the meter on 2db(1) rc, a kill is still possible here. In the real match, I tried to route into 6c a second time after 5da, which was the mistake that caused the combo to drop. Here's what the kill looks like with an EA ender. Always more to do! #PlayCF, JAT

I missed the ch2c 6da confirm, unfortunately, that would have saved me a lot of meter and given me - you guessed it - an easy kill. The combo there would look something like this; this probably isn't optimal but is very close.

Shoutouts to yhmjack1, fellow Kagura player and labber who found this sick cct extension from 5c 2db(1) rc 6c! In the end, the fog of war comes for all, even me! no matter how much we know in the lab. Always more tournaments to prove myself, though! Someone's about to get hit by this. #PlayCF, JAT

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

The worst thing by far, though, is that I could have killed even with the route I did with one simple optimization - going for the 2dc I wasn't sure would work. (It works.) Let me emphasize how egregious not killing Towito here is. This is one of the biggest mistakes I made all weekend.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

I could have also done 5c 2db(1) rc here since I was worried about 5c 6dc, but in the fog of war I simply didn't check my meter in time. These routes are great when there's no counterhit and Kagura hits the 5c from max range, since 2db takes longer to travel that far.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

I chose to punish with ch5c 2db cfaf kad rc, not wanting to go for ch5c 6dc at max range. This is actually a huge blunder on my part, unfortunately. 5c 6dc has problems connecting at long ranges, but not on counterhit. It's an easy kill. Kagura even builds 100 here for cfaf kad rc zanga. A big miss.

A brain child of Sodelic, drawn by @merutokoman.bsky.social. Thank you for bringing our commission to life!

Carl Clover from Blazblue: Centralfiction on a plain white background, drawn by @merutokoman.bsky.social. He's wearing his usual outfit; seen from the back, he has a tall purple top hat, glasses with large, thin circular frames, a purple jacket with white sides and sleeves, purple cuffs with gold cuff links, and purple shorts and boots with white cuffs.

His cape is purple with a gold band. Normally it falls to his knees, but here it is drawn much longer, falling to the ground and flowing out of frame, and on it is scrawled the text of the Carl Ban petition written by Killakobes et al and posted on Twitter by Icecool, one of the collaborators on the work.Carl is looking over his shoulder at the text on the comically long cape with a quizzical expression.

The text on the cape reads, verbatim from the petition:

"CARL BAN

Hello tournament organizers, I hope this document finds you well. On behalf of Monarch, Icecool, Killakobes, and many more of the high level North American BBCF scene (At the end of this document we mention all of our collaborators in detail) we have decided to do something that should’ve been done a long long time ago and petition for the competitive ban of Carl Clover in Blazblue: Central Fiction. Carl- in the majority of the active upper level players opinion- is head and shoulders above the rest of the competition in this game. The strength of the upper echelon of the cast is high but Carl..."

On the back of Carl's hat can be seen the list of signatures on the petition, with each beginning "My name is..." as they appear in the petition. The names of the signatures are cut off by perspective, but they can be identified as belonging to Monarch, Killakobes, Icecool, Fuzzama, Stevo, DGF, and warycoolio, the seven signatories of the petition.

#BBCF #BBCF2_KG Took a break from packing to lab some 2da routes and found 8k! Looks to be universal and optimal, too, and fatal hitstun makes most of it fairly forgiving, though the orb needs to be delayed on some characters, like Platinum. (Reuploaded with higher quality.) #PlayCF

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

There's probably a way to get 8k from this without a screen position specific route in an orb, but I don't know what it is.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

In Serpent's defense, Clownish Calendula is a VERY scary move to punish. Kagura can run up and hit 5c 2dc, but he can run into one of its 40 (!) active frames if he's just a bit too close. Given the situation and pressure, it's no wonder Serpent played it safe. Have a ch2c combo :) #PlayCF, JAT

Yeah, that's a dead Rachel. With a whopping 22 HP to spare. (Why does she have 11,000 again?) Mind the microdash OTG 2c, though - that's not the easiest thing to hit midscreen.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Susano'o is one of just seven characters (with Tager, Hakumen, Makoto, Kokonoe, Naoto, and Es) that Kagura can do ch5c cct on midscreen. Without access to it, Kagura can't access his highest corner damage. Sadly, Susano'o will live another day. Here's new max damage by 34, by the way! #PlayCF, JAT

010 1

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

With more meter to start the combo with ch5c cct and still end in Zanga, Kagura can do more than enough damage in AF to kill Susano'o here for a massive 8,450 damage. The 6c66 2db is autotimed. Don't microdash the 6c, though, or it can cause the 2db to whiff underneath Susano'o.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Seo found a second combo that does a little bit more damage, but still not even enough to break 8k. This 6dc66 5c is more lenient with regards to the screen spacing. However, it only seems to work on big bodies, and the ender is very tight.

100 1

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Here's the highest damage combo I found. The 2db 5dc a orb 5c is screen position specific and requires Kagura to be spaced out at least a little bit at the end of 2db. Otherwise, the orb can't hit Susano'o late enough to combo into 5c because Kagura is too close to the corner when he throws it.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

#BBCF #BBCF2_KG Kagura max damage (I think) from CH 6b! Remember to set Battle Status to "Normal" instead of "Unaffected" when recording max damage combos! A counterhit combo that cashes out full resources generally builds Active Flow before it ends, so that much burst damage is guaranteed! #PlayCF

One of the many things I've not enjoyed about college out of state is that I miss my region's monthlies. walbats is kicking tail in my absence, though. It was a true privilege to see him in TMN, and I can't wait to see how far he'll go. #BBCF #PlayCF Thanks to GanonDegenerate for making the top8er!

Here's a corner route, too, which also happens to be what I understand to be Kagura's max damage from ground ch 5c.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

@jukeboxharu.bsky.social found this route on Jin. It's definitely not universal, because the crossunder 2db(2) 5dc doesn't work on the whole cast, but it does more damage than the universal one I found.

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Big batch today! 🧵 Here's a new throw OD back to corner combo, and this one I'm pretty sure is universal. #BBCF #BBCF2_KG #PlayCF The 2dc66 5c is very hard on smaller characters, perhaps a one-frame manual on Platinum. That 5c can be skipped on small bodies at the cost of a small handful of damage.

#BBCF #BBCF2_KG #BBCF2_PL #PlayCF Happy Magicka punish, midscreen with full resources, for @thunder-crash.bsky.social. Might be optimal, might not, but pretty close either way.

Back to corner OD throw punish with full resources, 6611. #BBCF #BBCF2_KG #PlayCF Credit to Haru for the 2db crossunder idea. I found that it's only possible after 6b 6c with RC. I'm surprised it does so much more damage, though! Read on ⬇️ I really hope it's universal...

Without sufficient ability to launch the opponent off the ground with Kagura's few special moves, 6c becomes a better max punish than 5c in driveless and helps him reach the damage numbers that are familiar to him. CT is more useful now, too, to bolster damage without access to Zanga. #PlayCF, JAT

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

This ch6b route hits hard but is really difficult. Notice also I use two a orbs, which would be obviously unthinkable in drive on combos. But without having a significant amount of special moves, SMP isn't really a concern, especially given the great proration on Kagura's normals.

120 2

TMN | JustATomato #PlayCF @justatomato.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

A handful of driveless combos I labbed over break. Kagura's midscreen combos sorely need his drive to do meaningful damage, but in the corner he's still extremely competent, although the routes are harder. So much fun tech becomes important to know, like this running Bfaf. #BBCF #BBCF2_KG
