I know it's super confusing if you don't know anything about the original game lore, but his name is Lucilius for a reason as Lucifer is another character

He's a character who snowballs. His long cooldowns is a primary weakness, but he is blessed with some crazy ass normals, like that far 7 frame medium. He is very dependent on using other resources to help offset his offense while the cooldowns are on, like ultimate skills or raging chains. He does however have very good midscreen combos and damage. I think the longer the game goes, the stronger he'll get when people are comfortable managing cooldowns and such.

Feels like playing asuka, you're constantly looking at the spells while you keep the op in corner of your eyes.

I'm just glad they didn't give him a meterless DP on top of his god normals and neutral skip specials, they didn't make the nier mistake twice in a row

He isn't bad really. He isn't broken but he isn't like a bad character. He is like in the middle like maybe A tier or B tier at best

Ending his bnb with a corner hit 214L instead of M, and then doing 2H U(H) is a really nice ender to freely build some blade meter that is +37 on wakeup which lets you set up a 236H on oki which traps against everything that isn't a frame 1 reversal. I've been having a ton of fun with him and labbing setups to keep my specials or finish combos in good ways, like just spending a raging strike to increase my time, when I can't use specials. He's definitely a different character and not top tier, but his damage and potential is elite so I'm confident in him.

about a week for UNI 2, cant wait for a disection of the new mechanics by the one and only Jiyuna whom I suposse will take out a video about a week or two later, but I do prefer baked quality over raw easy videos

Now I have my character. Been playing him since the maintenance ended and I love the boss energy this man has. Eager to see what the community comes up with... and what tech I can steal 🤣

Definitely my type of character, like Asuka before it. High on awareness, low on execution, and all his tools are juiced to compensate for the balancing act. Will definitely give him a try.

He's definitely gonna have a big focus on combat in his stance it helps his U into L destroy projectile same for his 236X moves. His U into H look like a good anti air too. Seems complicated but it also makes him interesting. Good vid as always, Jiyuna.

if this was gear theyd give him an install where he gets 10 seconds of no cooldowns and builds right to 5 bars. that being said, give him an install where he gets 10 seconds of no cooldowns and builds right to 5 bars -sexyanimeboys20000

Try using his stance in neutral guys, stance 5m is especially good and it helps with the meter. End corner combos with stance 5h as well

As a bad player I’ve absolutely been getting my shit rocked by him

Lucilus has arrived in GBVSR

Just played 3 matches against him without ever seeing gameplay of him and got knowledge checked to death. That teleport, that fireball. His specials better have long cooldown because they are all crazy good/easy to use.

Don’t know whether he’s bad or good but he looks like a cool ass male ramlethal and I’m hype to try him

3 reasons to play Lucillius: 1) 214M/H animation (grabs opponent's head and smashes it into ground). 2) Takahiro Sakurai's voice (ENG dub does not exist after all). 3) His utter disgust towards mortals (his partner quotes might be one of the best).

I think I'll play him for that sky bound art alone. It's to cool

Ok fun fact about Cilius, NOT ALL BLADE LV REDUCE THE SKILLS CDs (for some unknown reason lv 2 and 4 only increase the dmg) also I think 13 seconds is a bit too much when normally ex skills have arround 8 and even at lv 5 as you said it's still quite long, not to mention the blade gauge builds super slow (it takes using all 4 specials in a row for just 1 level) and even if Ulti Skills are the saving grace for this character they don't build any gauge. 1st Impressions so far is that he feels kinda weak (even tho it's too early to say) but incredibly fun, can't wait to play more of him in the following days

I played him to S+ before/after work yesterday, and he feels pretty good once you've gotten enough of a feel for him that you don't have to stare at his CDs as much. Not having access to strong CDs as often as other characters have access to their H skills is definitely annoying, I wish he could combo into his stance moves from at least something that's not 2H or a CH, that would help mitigate that issue a bit. The stance in general seems very weak due to how hilariously long the startup is. Though none of that matters since his hitgrab is so fucking cool.

I’ve really been liking him, not gonna say I don’t have my “oh yeah cooldowns are like ten seconds” moments during combos, but I haven’t had a huge problem just keeping a mental note of what I’ve used. I do fight against a lot of monkey players though, easy to get to at least level 2 early in the round.

He is pronounced: Lucifaa (short form:Faa) Lucifer is a different character, but not really too. Lucifer is a clone of faa, Lucifer killed faa long time ago to stop him, and after Lucifer died by the hand of bubs, Faa was brought back to life in Lucifer body by Belial (Dio and Jonathan style). They both looked exactly same to begun with. But this faa right now is in Lucifer body, with all of his powers and wings.

So it's Jamie drinking swords instead of herbal drinks 😅

Welcome back Junpei Iori

Question as I'm still relatively novice with fighting lingo.. I understand when people mention "Down 4 or back 3" But I've seen a lot of people mention 6L which I assume is dash light?? But what does the 6 correspond to? Or like 5M? I appreciate any response! Also great vid Anime!!

Seems like any character that forces Lucillius to use BP to get out of pressure will have advantage on him in the early part of the round. If you don't have BP to convert Raging Strike, he doesn't really have a reliable avenue to end combos. Snowball character, indeed.

I dont know about what hes like for pros but for a casual hes super easy. All I do is button into special. If they block Im either plus or not punishable. Ive been getting lvl5 almost every match even the ones I lose.

Himlethal Valentine, bro is basically Xrd ram. Floating attractive individual with huge floating swords, barely any cloths, and minimal to no emotional response. Also threaten to destroy the world

Yeah the slow cooldown when he starts takes some getting used to but when he reaches his full potential the reward is nice. So definitely a character that takes a bit more effort in the beginning for a nice prize.

They should make the ultimate skills build sword meter

the skill cooldowns being in the top left is really messing with me now. really wish there was a UI option to just have them at the bottom of the screen.

I mean, you're treating his skills as if he had "EX" and stuff like that, and it's more like he has 10 skills or so, because 214+L actually wall bounces and after 2 autocombos U+M frametraps, but well, time will tell.

People really downplayed this character hard just because they saw “long skill cooldown”. Been playing him all day since he dropped, but his level ups (which happens fairly quickly literally just use skills don’t even have to bother with stance stuff unless opponent starts getting passive) negates this pretty easily by just level 3. Factor in how SAFE his buttons are, can be effective at any range, and has great damage/carry/Oki setups His only real weaknesses are he is at his weakest at round start by design since he is a snowball character and he doesn’t have a meterless DP. Otherwise he just snowballs hard once you feel comfortable with the character. He doesn’t feel like a “knowledge check” character like say Avatar Bel when I can do safe stuff and time is objectively on my side.

I've been leaning into Ulitmate skills, RS, and HKD with sweep/throw and stance on oki to give me time to get my cooldowns and levels up. I do like the fact he has clear strengths and weaknesses - I can only hope they continue with that path with the additional characters that get released. We don't need more Seox characters.

ULT skills giving him sword bar wouldn't be a broken buff. 50% meter for .5 sword level and 100% meter for 1sword level. More balanced than giving him install super that gives him full sword meter even for a short time also I realized is this why they removed the cooldown penalty on skill buttons so they can put Luci with this gimmick? imagine him being in base GBVS and when you use skill buttons instead and its 15-18sec cooldown on level 0 swords lmaooooo

Jiyuna you selling that hoodie in the States?

You guys call him Lucifer, i'm still gonna call him Faa-san 😂

Hey jiyuna, how do I not misinput install supers when doing 214 with the skill button? I hate that I might need to use classic input for 214 on certain characters, siegfried loses 50% of his hp if you misinput it LOL

Not Lucifer. Lucifer is a completely separate character.... In GBF Lucifer is actually a good guy. Although he's dead now, sadly

Playing a lot of Soriz when he was free, I can tell with confidence that “build this resource to get stronger in every round” mechanics aren’t suited for this game in general. You are either dead before being able to use that gimmick or don’t need it to win

HE'S SORTA LIKE MANON IN SF, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, HE DOESNT GET TO CARRY HIS POWER GAUGE TO THE NEXT ROUND..

I cant put my finger on it but Lucilius reminds me of Izanami from Blazblue for some reason

This character's cool down problem will have to be fixed with patches and how players work around that.

Could you do how to win with beelzebub

GIVE PRAISE Give praise, for he has no equal Worship him, a god has been born unto the world Cower in fear, he will not forgive any vice Devote yourself, your fate is overwritten! REJOICE!! This character and song is a Godlike peak fiction!

Lucilius definitely has the potential to be insane but it requires more brain power than some1 like soriz

I feel him using the stands is what you should be doing at the start of the game to quickly reach levels, instead of using your specials, then use whatever you have to get his crazy oki going, the problem is, as you stated, that he just sucks at base, if he goes against a character that can consistently push him away and put him on a blender, then he ends with no options, and using ultimate skill without building stacks is imo a mistake, like, even at his strongest I don't feel he goes as hard as say, zeta or seox, who can just skip neutral, his oki while crazy, is not at the level of my baby girl nier, god I love playing nier and stealing people souls. I don't think he sucks that much, but he definetely needs a lot of work that is still less rewarding than the top tiers, and also the fact that he's a paid character and a secret boss no less, so yeah, that kind of stinks.

He's definitely a character who starts out weak and gets strong as he goes through game sorta reminds me susano a bit

How to hate a character less then a day Have him be in every 2 matches. You know the characters you have to pay for are going to be unfair cheap. He swing 3 swords that are longer then his long body. What we get is basically invisible range. I guess that heavy footes neutral game GBVS used to be is finally dead.

Only slightly less swords than Nu-13

I thought Lucifer is a whole different character in GBF and Lucilius is like a clone of him... Anyways overall his toolkit is pretty cool, we'll see if any specialists optimize him soon

Roundstart 623L go brrrrrrr

See my thing with him is it takes so long to build bar that hes not a full character until they only have a bit of life left, sure theres going to be instances where youre almost dead and you can mount a comeback now, but unless youre just getting pummeled he never feels like a real character ya know

ramlethal

I hope 2B comes out completely broken on launch

I think his offense will be fine but his defense will be the death of this character. If he gets pressured he just folds since he has no dp without 50 meter and his crouching buttons might just be the worst crouching buttons in the game for escaping block pressure. All the twitter combos in the world wont save you once a djeeta presses 66L

wouldn't the game be better if they doubled everyones HP?

2B is next

Lucifaa get with the lore (jk it ain't that serious)

Well, 90% of him is from Lucifer tho 🤣

PARADISE LOSTO!!

Commenting on every video before Arakune BBCF combo trials, video 101. Lucifer seems cool. Not as cool as uno or cag tho.
