			--- I. Intro ---

Greetings fellow gamers! Welcome to Atlas' guide on Tekkaman Blade.

Here I plan on covering everything that is the speedy character; T-Blade. 

Why I chose to play T-Blade: Simple, nostalgia.
I only chose to play as him because I knew who he
 was from the anime, but once I started to play I quickly found
out that his speed and combos make him an extraordinary fighter.
His speed coupled with his ability to cross up with Falchion will keep
even the most defensive player on their toes for if they aren't paying
attention, they will be eating a combo with plenty of sides.

Pros of T-Blade
   - Excellent speed and damage
   - High cross up ability
   - Great range
   - Very nice combo ability
   - High normal jump.

Cons of T-Blade
   - Odd ground and air dash
   - Cross up methods can be unsafe
   - Unsafe supers on block.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

		---III. Combos---
Key:
BnB - Bread n Buttah: Standard combo that you'll utilize a lot.
Baroque - Cancel tech that uses red health to deal more damage. A/B/C + P
djc - Double jump cancel. Jump out of an aerial combo
[ ] - Hold. Hold the direction or button enclosed.

The BnB I usually stick to is fairly simple and can lead into a multitude
of possibilities. 

(J.C)5A, 5B, 2B, 5C - BnB. Now with this little bitty combo,
you can chain in some amazing Tatsunical combos with the right partner.
The J.C is optional.

5A, 5B, 2B, 5C, 3C, 8/9, J.A, J.A, J.B, J.B, J.C -Aerial BnB.
This one is also a gateway dru...I mean combo. 

Now children, lets get into some heavy bang bang!

5A, 5B, 2B, 5C - Baroque - 5A, 5B, 2B, 5C, 3C, 8/9, J.A, J.A, J.B, J.B,
djc, [2]C -land- 8C: From this point you have some options here. 
	- 623AB
	- 5B, 5C, 236AB
	- 63214AB
	- 5B, 3C (Relaunch into Aerial 236AB or 236A, 63214AB)

<Caution, the timing of the J.B, J.B can be strict so if you happen to do
[2] C and it doesn't connect, a falchion can get you out of any sticky mess
that might come from the ill timing.> 

Now if you really wanna get saucy; toss in a well placed C Falchion for cross
up to start and time the BnB after the last hit of falchion. 


(Corner) J.C, 5A, 5B, 2B, 5C[2], 8B, 5A, 5B, 5C, 3C, -delay- 9, J.A, J.B,
J.B, 236A, J.B, 9, [2]C -land- 8C.

Alternate way to combo into the Katzbalger combo.
This one is rather tricky to pull off because of the charging and the delayed
jump. As soon as you press C, immediately hold down until the C's motion is
complete. Then just press 8C and watch T-Blade ventilate whoever's in the way. 

For the delay, once you launch wait about 2/3's of a second before jumping.
The key is the make sure the B connects right after the Baselard and then
press 9 then 2 almost immediately. 

If you're having problems with the 5A, 5B, 5C after Katzbalger, just remember
to press A as soon as Katzbalger ends and connecting it should be fine. 

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------


	---IV. Strategies for T-Blade---

Tekkaman Blade isn't you standard dash in and throw moves around
character....Mainly because his dash is angled. 
However, don't fret! For his dash can be used to get the drop
in on opponents by executing normals relatively close to the ground for
combo opportunities.

Falchion use: Now you may be thinking "Hey! Cross ups!? I'm in!" 
But let me tell you, trying ot use falchion at every turn will surely
lead to your demise. While its good in general, T-Blade is completely
vulnerable while using the attack and if ill timed, he can be thrown before
the lance spins towards the opponent.

I personally use Falchion after a whiffed J.2C, as the opponent is standing
from knockdown, after blocking a bad tag in, or after half the opponent's team
is defeated; just as the other is coming out.

Baselard: I call this the giant swatter. The B and C version
will keep them at bay, but don't just toss it about all
willy nilly or you will be the one swatted. 

In the aerial combo the A version of Baselard can combo into the
Blastor Vol tekka, but the timing and input down is strict something fierce!

Crash Interlude: This super has some of the greatest startup time I've seen
for a super. So much super flash stun that you can input the super after a
jab and it will still connect.
Though it lacks in power, it can be a great finisher to a combo to just carry
the damage over the kill point. This can be used on any successful hit of
just about all attacks T-Blade has to offer. 

In conjunction with falchion, CI can be a great fakeout tool.
Start up falchion and when your opponent begins blocking the opposite
direction to stop your advance, input the CI just before crossing over.
It leaves little to no time to react with the quick startup. 

Vol Tekka: A great anti air super with decent damage, if blocked it will 
leave T-Blade down for a second to recover. This super is best used after
the wall bounce of [2]8C

Omnidirectional Vol Tekka/Blastor Vol Tekka: An extremely damaging
level 3 super, but comes with a drawback of a pretty lengthy recovery.
The initial burst must connect for maximum damage and there are a few
ways I know of to combo into this super. 

-Wall bounce with Katzbalger: Use the BnB into the aerial combo which
leads into the C version Katzbalger. When the wall bounce occurs,
let loose the super. 

-Aerial combo: Using the A version of Baselard in the air in a combo and
quick timing, the Blastor Voltekka combos for a nice finish.
Timing is key with this one though. 

-Partner: Any partner that has a good portion of stun stapled to
their assist can help T-Blade pull the super off.
I haven't personally used a normal assist, but Soki's level 2 charge
offers enough stun to connect with the ODVT.

Shamshir:I personally don't mess with Shamshir as I rarely remember
to mash the buttons. If anyone can come up with a good method of using this,
I'd be glad to hear it. You will be credited for your contributions.
