Hey, everyone! After a longer while, I managed to do a video of one of the most iconic pairing of characters of all time : The Black Beast, and Mr.Hero himself!

Unfortunately, BBCF has not done Hakumen any favours. Many of his combo options no longer work, mainly due to the increased startup time on Shippu (either that, or increased time before superflash), and the reduced untech time on most moves (universal CF change). Add to this, the fact that many Shippu wave routes, like after Hotaru (Or Hakumen-style Houtenjin) or j.C, now no longer work, or only work at the beginning of a Fatal combo, and you get a Hakumen who has been really screwed combo potential wise.

In exchange, though, Hakumen's loop potential thanks to the lack of SMP, and that Shippu doesn't end Mugen now, is simply amazing. Not only that, but as an interesting tidbit (and nothing else, honestly), Haku can link a few moves together during Fatal combos, like 5B into 2B for some interesting SF like combos (not practical though). I haven't bothered to show said loops and the infamous "rapeloop" (Zantetsu first hit looped), but I did put in the Shippu loop, just to show that it's possible. In theory, that is, as practically, sane people post-Mugen activation are basically impossible to hit, and Mugen itself is punishable by just about anything (including with Jin's astral on reaction!)

For Ragna, there is not much to say. I included a few gimmicks, like the ability to hit Tager with a crossup NE-followup, and a Nightkasu combo (NE 1 hit only). The rest are pretty straightforward, including some sideswitch stuff, and a combo utilizing 7 (!) 2Ds in it. And also, most combos are microdash and tough timing galore, including the vs. Susanoo combo, in which alone there are three tough things to keep track of. (Distance from the corner, timing the NE whiff into non-OD followup, and microdash 5A afterward)

Overall, I consider the Hakumen part of the vid a bit lackluster, but hopefully, it's at least something to write home about. Mugen+OD combos would have been awesome, but since they can't happen (Mugen itself can't, let alone Mugen - raw OD - combo), I didn't include them (except the Shippu loop, and vs. Jin as a proof of two concepts).
