Vatista - General Discussion Thread "Obligatory Loli in a Fighting Game"

Vatista movelist translated courtesy of SoWL on DustLoop.

Okay, seems like Vatista's movelist goes like this:

Lumen Stella ([4]6A/B/C) - shoots a projectile. The speed and the trajectory depends on the button pressed (with the options being slow+mid, fast+mid and fast+low). You can perform it in midair with the 236A/B/C command, with different trajectories. The EX version shoots a Dark Angel-like ball that floats forward, bouncing up and down.
Luber Angelus ([2]8A/B/C) - A Flash Kick-like move with the wing slashes. You can follow it up with additional attacks by pressing different buttons. The EX version makes her jump up and down a couple of times.
Redeus Fragmentum ([A]/[B]/[C] - Releases a hovering crystal that stays in place for as long as the button is held. Releasing the button explodes it; if you are hit before you release the button, the crystal disappears without doing anything. The position of the crystal depends on the button held. Can be performed in midair.
Racteus Orbis (41236D) - Infinite Worth, shoots a huge laser out of the symbol made with the wings. The start-up seems kinda fast.

Making the setup move a charge seems to be quite important.

ooh So Vatista is a charge character, interesting.

I guess her Lumen Stella will be used more often in the air.

I think that'd depend on what the recovery of the midair version is and how much more area it covers than the ground version. If the midair version puts you into recovery until you hit the ground, I can just imagine people slipping under the fireball and picking up a free combo while Vatista is falling.

Why hasnt this game gotten a release date yet ;_;

Interesting. When I saw the flash kick I kinda had a feeling it would be a charge move.

For those who didn't witness Vatista flash kick or additional specials in combat. She lacks momentum in a way but have anyone noticed how cute she is after every projective she shoots? That little back flip of hers gets me every time. I'm not too fond of charge characters but if I can make an exception for Angelia (AH3) I can do the same for Vatista as well.

Im pretty excited to see upcoming Vatista play. The one who won the SBO tourney was a thrill to watch. I'm kinda iffy on those [6]4x inputs though. Never experienced reverse holding inputs before. But it'll be a nice change of pace to play a zoner for once

[Katsuragi]

Despite the first few sets, there's a lot of Vatista play here:
