This is really good, very informative, slightly laid back and not too long to become boring. I would love to see more of these in the future. I really got a lot out of this as someone who uses Es a lot since I first started playing her in Central Friction
Toriku Thanks I appreciate it! I try to give as much useful information without making it long and over complicated. Just the things to get you going. I want to make more of these it’s just a matter time management.
Thanks a bunch for the incredibly informative video, I recently picked up Es as a partner for Makoto cause i need some range in my life. BBTag is my first real experience diving into fighting games so I'm sure this will be priceless for me!
My props to you! Incredibly high quality, both sets of input description for newcomers to anime, and extremely informative on the key points of a character while still enouraaging an individuals own playstyle! Love this so much!
This is some really fantastic stuff. I was experimenting with characters to find my perfect team and ES's tools and playstyle really clicked with me. This guide really helped understanding the fundamentals of the character. I'm really glad you cover her neutral and oki setups as well, since those are just as important as being able to perform optimal combos. Keep up the great work!
Nice touch for using the incredible soundtrack from the DEEN studio Fate/stay night. So jC can be used for oki. I just been mistiming it. Thx for the heads up
Great content dude! Keep this up and you will go really far as you are one of the only people providing quality comprehensive character breakdowns. You got a sub from me =D
Two things 1. Why does this channel not have more subs this is nice work right here. 2. You use English Es sworn new enemy found. That said time to check the rest of the content here and with that have a good one.
One week late on responding but anyway yeah i see what you mean makes sense with that i figured id leave this for you as an fellow Es player ua-cam.com/video/e4Zo_PTh9AQ/v-deo.html with that have a good one
Thanks for the guide man! I've been playing Es because, first and foremost she looks cool and has a huge (rack) sword, and am pleasantly surprised how well rounded she is. I still didn't get a good game plan so this helped clear things up.
Thanks! The plan is to start with characters I like and see what happens. I only like to talk about characters I can play at an intermediate level at least
joemoy12 thanks! Since I have a day job there’s no way I can find the time for the whole cast. So it will come down to the characters I’m actually good at and understand. I don’t like putting out content if it’s not well informed!
Great video, I was having a bit of trouble how to use Es's B move in combos and how to use her overheads during pressure. Thanks to this video I now have a idea on how to use them and now I'm going to experiment and practice Awesome now my Es can be great sub main to my Orie or Ruby in BBCTB
Definitely learned some things from this video thank you very much. I've been trying to get a feel for all the chars and I think I'm slowly rotating around Es and maybe Ruby. also more es art pls
Are you gonna cover Blake? Your video format is clear and to the point while and the only other breakdown guide is far too long winded and redundant for me to bear through it
I'd love to cover more characters but I do this on the weekends as a hobby. So to find the time to actually play AND edit videos is what wouldn't allow me to just pump out videos. I also like to have a certain level of knowledge before putting a video together. But to answer your question, I am interested in Blake the question is when will I have the time lol.
One thing I found that was neat, but not game breaking. Crest Arts activate almost exactly when Es is able to act, so this can be done: 5BB>IAD Just something I found while training, I wonder if it’s useful for combos.
It's short for Okizeme, I forget the actual meaning of the word, but it's become synonymous with meaning Wake-up game. Basically it describes the situation of what you do after you knock your opponent down. Characters with strong Oki are like Es where they have a means of locking you down at that stage to continue their assault. Characters with weak oki tend to be ones that don't have as many options to continue after a knockdown, and as a result have neutral reset on them after a wake-up
I may as well mention that Es' 5B can cause your combo to drop on certain characters (Linne) in the corner, as on smaller characters the 5B glyph will whiff on their knockdown. This leads to combos like 5BB>214A>5AAA>5B>214[B] to drop after the 5B
Yup I've noticed that for a while didn't know why, assumed it was the starter. Then realized it was Linne since I just did a long set with a Linne. I'm not sure of an alternative route as of right now. I know there are some IAD jC routes out there after 5BB somewhere on twitter
the 5B indeed drop on some chars, in this case, you can do 5B>236A. It's not optimal, but at least you get 300 damages more than just by dropping at 5B. The other route I found is to call assist so it lands right after 5B to allow you to 214[B] into the follow up combo. I team with Linne and what I have is : 5BB>214A>5AAA>(5B-5P)>214[B]>5AA>2C>214C~C the 5B and 5P should be pressed roughly at the same time (5P can be a bitafter 5B) with Linne.
you lost me at the fifth word... hell the video lost me at 0:35... i've tried to get into fighting game for a long time, but when i hear 5B, 2A, 5B>236A, 214[B] I don't even know what it means... and searching online got me on a porn website... yhea not a fun time (sorry for the bad english i am french canadian)
ironer100 so, basically, this is notation for combos. It represents the directions you have to input using the NumPad of a keyboard, so you have : 5 : neutral 4: back 6: forward 2: down 1: down backward 3: down forward Usually we don’t use 7,8,9 because it’s referred as J for jumping. For the rest of the convention, it’s the buttons : A: light attack B: heavy attack C: special D: Tag Switch P: Partner assist A letter used with brackets ([B] for example) means you have to hold the key. Now with that in mind, you combine the two 5AA means two times A in neutral position 2B means down B etc.. The movements (like 214C) means quarter circle backwards (Sometimes noted as QCB) The last thing is to understand the full notation of a combo 5AAA>2C means you do 3 times A and cancel it into a 2C. Most moves can be canceled in this game, you just need to figure out how. Some move, for example if you do 5AAAA with Es (smart combo 1), you cannot cancel the last move (the 4th A). One last thing is things like 241C~C. Some attacks have additional attacks which are not considered as cancels, they are noted like this. To conclude, once you know this notation it’s going to be easy to read combos. You can then go to training room to figure out timings for them. Don’t focus too much on combos at first, the neutral game is more important to start with.
I figured out a variation on the (5B-5P) route that leads to consistent Oki: 5BB>214A>5AAA>(5B-5P)>5BB>jc.>jB>jC(whiff) Also, there are certain scenarios where you wont have an assist available (ex. 5AAA>2C>214C~C>5P), which prevents the (5B-5P) route from working. In those cases, simplify the route: 5AAA>2C>214C~C>5P>5AAA>2B>jc.>jB>jC(whiff)
This is a great overview. I'm new at BBTag, but I feel pretty sure I'm gonna be using Weiss - I'm uncertain who to pair with her as she's also a well-rounded character with plenty of fun tools. Would a Weiss/Es team work as an incredibly flexible duo?
you should check twitter. theres a way to time an assist call after j.c without using any assist bar. this assuming you hve an assist with good blockstun, means it beats pushblock as far as i can tell
he uses number pad notations which work on controller too. look at the number pad on your keyboard, each number represents the direction you should hold the directional pad, so 1 = down, left, 2 = down, etc etc. the letters represent attack button with A = Light, B = Medium, C = Heavy (i don't know the controller defaults for each of these attacks or even what controller you're using). If this doesn't make sense just look up "number pad notation" on youtube and you should find some guides.
I feel dumb asking this but why are the attacks described by a number followed by a letter? I just can’t seem to figure out why one is a 5 and one is a 2 etc.
Eden Shorrocks it has to do with the number pad on your keyboard. It's a universal way of notating directions. So 2 is down. 5 in neutral. 6 is forward. 4 is back. 8 is up. Then 1, 3, 7, 9 are diagonal buttons. So if you're ever confused just look at your number pad on the keyboard! As for the letters they're representing light medium and heavy attacks. So A is light, B is medium, C is heavy. So put the two together and you'll get 5B for standing medium. Or 2C for crouching heavy. A chain of numbers is a motion, so 236A is quarter circle forward Light
Hey can you make a guide on hyde? Its the character i use and I dont think his 5A is very useful at mid-long range and his 5B is a little slow so im thinking if using 5A or not Im new to this game and I dont know if startup is more important than range Things like that
I just didn't try it while recording lol. You probably can do it. There wasn't a particular reason not to include it. If it doesn't cause the combo to drop at the end then yeah add it!
That's interesting. It really depends on the player. Some Es players are hyper aggressive and some zone all day. You gotta find what it is that's hitting you about her. Gordeau definitely out ranges her, and Orie isn't too bad either. The only time I think you should have problems with Es is if she's zoning, in which case you would have to inch your way in. I recommend playing her a bit to understand her because really she's pretty straight forward compared to other characters
I think he meant play with her yourself (on your team). That'll show you what she can do in certain situations, and where her limitations are. It's what I usually do if my main has an issue with a particular character.
It's hard for me to find the time to make good videos. I could make really basic barebone videos for characters but I'd prefer a good well thought guide, which takes time and I only do this on the weekends :/.
TheOTKGameplay I will be working on more character guides sooner than later. It’s something I’m ramping up the resources for. I like to be informed about what I say rather than just saying it so it takes time to learn the characters. With Es and Rachel I had 800+ matches. So yeah I can’t promise any one specific but I am taking the time to learn 2 new characters every week and we’ll see who sticks
Elijah Idemudia I mean with es assist and act parcer mixups to get in, its been working fine, most bnb's range from 6-10k with low execution. I like it, but I'm sure some fgc veteran would be quick to tear me to shreads
I’m loving Es her combos are extremely easy to execute compared to Rachel and I was able to consistently pull off every combo in the vid except for the tag one I need to work on tag combos more in general but not until I am able to pull off optimal combos on Rachel consistently and I go through the tactics mode some more

This is really good, very informative, slightly laid back and not too long to become boring. I would love to see more of these in the future.
I really got a lot out of this as someone who uses Es a lot since I first started playing her in Central Friction
Toriku Thanks I appreciate it! I try to give as much useful information without making it long and over complicated. Just the things to get you going. I want to make more of these it’s just a matter time management.
more of these plz! just picked up this game and this helped me so much! are playing on doing one for Nine? I wanna pair her with Es ^^
I was expecting a lenny face to come onscreen when you called her well-rounded
Lol what a missed opportunity!!!
I can assure you officer, Es is legal xD
Thanks a bunch for the incredibly informative video, I recently picked up Es as a partner for Makoto cause i need some range in my life. BBTag is my first real experience diving into fighting games so I'm sure this will be priceless for me!
You know who's best for Es? Yu
My props to you! Incredibly high quality, both sets of input description for newcomers to anime, and extremely informative on the key points of a character while still enouraaging an individuals own playstyle! Love this so much!
You're amazing!
I wish you a lot of success with the game and this channel in the future
This is some really fantastic stuff. I was experimenting with characters to find my perfect team and ES's tools and playstyle really clicked with me. This guide really helped understanding the fundamentals of the character. I'm really glad you cover her neutral and oki setups as well, since those are just as important as being able to perform optimal combos. Keep up the great work!
Nice touch for using the incredible soundtrack from the DEEN studio Fate/stay night. So jC can be used for oki. I just been mistiming it. Thx for the heads up
Great content dude! Keep this up and you will go really far as you are one of the only people providing quality comprehensive character breakdowns. You got a sub from me =D
Two things
1. Why does this channel not have more subs this is nice work right here.
2. You use English Es sworn new enemy found.
That said time to check the rest of the content here and with that have a good one.
Lol thanks. It's mainly because I do this as a weekend hobby. Also it's because every game I touch dies :( (Paragon, Hyper Universe).
One week late on responding but anyway yeah i see what you mean makes sense with that i figured id leave this for you as an fellow Es player ua-cam.com/video/e4Zo_PTh9AQ/v-deo.html with that have a good one
This is very helpful and actually intrigued me to start using Es.
I hope you do these guides for all characters!
*KORE WA KEIKOKU DESU*
I have a lot to learn. Thanks for the tips
Thanks for the guide man! I've been playing Es because, first and foremost she looks cool and has a huge (rack) sword, and am pleasantly surprised how well rounded she is. I still didn't get a good game plan so this helped clear things up.
This video was very helpful, hope you do more like this.
Thanks! The plan is to start with characters I like and see what happens. I only like to talk about characters I can play at an intermediate level at least
BUZZSAAAAAAWW!!
This is exactly what l was looking for! Liked and subbed, great work!
Thanks, your guide is really helpful! Waiting for other characters!
Will you be making guides like this for each character, or only some of them? Either way, good stuff and great vids!
joemoy12 thanks! Since I have a day job there’s no way I can find the time for the whole cast. So it will come down to the characters I’m actually good at and understand. I don’t like putting out content if it’s not well informed!

Great video, I was having a bit of trouble how to use Es's B move in combos and how to use her overheads during pressure. Thanks to this video I now have a idea on how to use them and now I'm going to experiment and practice
Awesome now my Es can be great sub main to my Orie or Ruby in BBCTB
Hey man great video. Super suprised to see the old paragon videos, that was my favorite game :(
Thanks! Yeah paragon decided to kill itself so I never kicked off the channel with Paragon :/
Definitely learned some things from this video thank you very much. I've been trying to get a feel for all the chars and I think I'm slowly rotating around Es and maybe Ruby.
also more es art pls
Great video! Please keep covering this game.
Keep up the good work on the guides!
I would sure love for the combos you did for es to be in slow motion if possible XD
Your Guide is sooo useful
Good guide
Yes, I want a loli on my team.
I just picked her up because she uses a huge fucking sword and little did i know how many tools she ended up having at her disposal.
Sick guide, subscribed
Keep up the good work!
Are you gonna cover Blake? Your video format is clear and to the point while and the only other breakdown guide is far too long winded and redundant for me to bear through it

Just something I found while training, I wonder if it’s useful for combos.
thanks I been useing Es a lot laitly
Thanks!
Fantastic guide. You have my follow good sir. Looking forward to your other guides. Any chance Kanji might get a guide?
great video man
What does Oki mean
It's short for Okizeme, I forget the actual meaning of the word, but it's become synonymous with meaning Wake-up game. Basically it describes the situation of what you do after you knock your opponent down. Characters with strong Oki are like Es where they have a means of locking you down at that stage to continue their assault. Characters with weak oki tend to be ones that don't have as many options to continue after a knockdown, and as a result have neutral reset on them after a wake-up
YAq Thank you so much
YAq beat me to it lol thanks!
YAq pretty sure okizeme is just wake up or something along those lines
Wake up pressure in japanese: "Okizeme"
Damn no uploads for 3 years hopefully you’ll come back with this rollback net code .
Aerial boyz
As a Guile player in Street Fighter, this character has touched my heart.
I may as well mention that Es' 5B can cause your combo to drop on certain characters (Linne) in the corner, as on smaller characters the 5B glyph will whiff on their knockdown. This leads to combos like 5BB>214A>5AAA>5B>214[B] to drop after the 5B

I love your es and rachel video, please do a yukiko one
This is a great overview. I'm new at BBTag, but I feel pretty sure I'm gonna be using Weiss - I'm uncertain who to pair with her as she's also a well-rounded character with plenty of fun tools. Would a Weiss/Es team work as an incredibly flexible duo?
The Loli queen is well rounded in this game indeed.
will he ever come back :((
I just didn't understand one thing. What Saber and Es have to do with one another?
you should check twitter. theres a way to time an assist call after j.c without using any assist bar. this assuming you hve an assist with good blockstun, means it beats pushblock as far as i can tell
David Davidson I’ve considered something like that but it kept spending assist meter. I’ll look into it!
Knewaccount Gaming yeah, its a little unnatural to time but the reward is great since you dont need any assist bar for it.
Is there a place for these combos on a controller rather than a fight stick? I don't really understand the abbreviations.
he uses number pad notations which work on controller too. look at the number pad on your keyboard, each number represents the direction you should hold the directional pad, so 1 = down, left, 2 = down, etc etc. the letters represent attack button with A = Light, B = Medium, C = Heavy (i don't know the controller defaults for each of these attacks or even what controller you're using). If this doesn't make sense just look up "number pad notation" on youtube and you should find some guides.
Thank you I understand it now! :D
But how good is she paired with hazama?
I feel dumb asking this but why are the attacks described by a number followed by a letter? I just can’t seem to figure out why one is a 5 and one is a 2 etc.
Eden Shorrocks it has to do with the number pad on your keyboard. It's a universal way of notating directions. So 2 is down. 5 in neutral. 6 is forward. 4 is back. 8 is up. Then 1, 3, 7, 9 are diagonal buttons. So if you're ever confused just look at your number pad on the keyboard!

Knewaccount Gaming thanks! Lol it’s so simple, but it just wasn’t making sense to me.
Narukami guide when?
Hey can you make a guide on hyde?
Its the character i use and I dont think his 5A is very useful at mid-long range and his 5B is a little slow so im thinking if using 5A or not
Im new to this game and I dont know if startup is more important than range
Things like that
Is this guide still relevant or is it outdated? I'm new to bbtag trying to learn someone new
I am using a ruby and ES team any tips on opening up my opponents to combos
Can you do one for Linne or Makoto if you know anything about them?
what are you talking about i dont get the lingo
Why not include a 2B in some of those combos? Like to the basic 5A midscreen no assist no meter combo. 5AAA brings you close enough for 2B 2C 214C.
I just didn't try it while recording lol. You probably can do it. There wasn't a particular reason not to include it. If it doesn't cause the combo to drop at the end then yeah add it!
That’s good and all but any tips on how to fight against Es? I run Orie/Gordeau myself, and Es is the only character I keep being in trouble with 🤔
That's interesting. It really depends on the player. Some Es players are hyper aggressive and some zone all day. You gotta find what it is that's hitting you about her. Gordeau definitely out ranges her, and Orie isn't too bad either. The only time I think you should have problems with Es is if she's zoning, in which case you would have to inch your way in. I recommend playing her a bit to understand her because really she's pretty straight forward compared to other characters
Knewaccount Gaming thanks for the reply! I’ll try playing with a local Es player and see how it goes! Cheers 💙
I think he meant play with her yourself (on your team). That'll show you what she can do in certain situations, and where her limitations are. It's what I usually do if my main has an issue with a particular character.
Blake and Es?!
When will you make more bb crosd tag battle character guides? I would like to see noelle and nu 13
It's hard for me to find the time to make good videos. I could make really basic barebone videos for characters but I'd prefer a good well thought guide, which takes time and I only do this on the weekends :/.
Are these combos also her blockstrings?
are u going to upload more bbctb guides? maybe blake?
TheOTKGameplay I will be working on more character guides sooner than later. It’s something I’m ramping up the resources for.

ty for the info u can do it :D
Oh you changed your name...I almost didn't find you.
platinum please
Pleaaase make an azreal video!
Combos = 10:24
What is oki?
Wait nu is a Zoner???
Heck dude I always play her rushdown...
DukeCyrus Wait fr? How did that work out for ya
Elijah Idemudia I mean with es assist and act parcer mixups to get in, its been working fine, most bnb's range from 6-10k with low execution. I like it, but I'm sure some fgc veteran would be quick to tear me to shreads
You're playing Lambda
most definitely need a loli on my team >:)
The funniest thing is she isn’t a loli she’s just kinda short lol
Wait no I can see why she would be considered a loli since she’s 155
Do you have a Patreon?
Roger Latulipe haha no I don’t. I do this as a hobby on the weekends. I’ll keep supporting the game as long as there’s an interest for it
Please do Jin next. The anchor extraordinaire!!
I’m loving Es her combos are extremely easy to execute compared to Rachel and I was able to consistently pull off every combo in the vid except for the tag one I need to work on tag combos more in general but not until I am able to pull off optimal combos on Rachel consistently and I go through the tactics mode some more
Great video bro,I wouldn't want to run into you online lol
