If you tried to play Tager, you have most certainly noticed he has multiple full circle inputs (even 3 full circle input move with his Astral!) and probably noticed that those motions aren't really designed to be performed on keyboard. However, with a few tricks they can be done on those as well, so let's get to it!

The 360 input for Tager is nowhere as hard as it seems. While it may seem like an actual 360 motion is needed, in reality, doing a half circle input and finishing it with an upward input is actually enough, A.K.A doing a 270 motion is enough to perform your Driver! Now you can punish things that you couldn't otherwise and perform them from standing easily! The input looks something like this:

And this should happen if done correctly : this is the B version:

Pretty cool huh?

Now we are getting into harder territory here. Once you get used to the input, the GETB is not that hard at all,actually. However, doing it standing may prove problems, since now you must include TWO full circles instead of one, which means you MUST include two upward inputs to do this super, meaning Tager will do a jump no matter how you input it at standing. However, using non-jump cancellable normals, ticks and during wakeup you can input it without jumping. The trick is to simply imput a full circle, then input a 270 (remember, while they are called full-circles everywhere, full circles are actually not needed,only 270's) + the heavy button of course. How the input and the superfreeze looks like:

If you had 50 Heat when you did this and the background went blue (or red during Overdrive,and hopefully Tager grabs the opponent), congrats if the enemy is close, and enjoy your 5000 damage! If the enemy jumped away or used a reversal, enjoy the incoming punish. If you did a forward punch or a leaning double hammerfist, then practice that input more, son!

This move is the bane of most keyboard Tager players (at least myself), and it can be very hard to input. Being done by doing THREE full circles, it is impossible NOT to jump when doing this at neutral, and it's very hard to do during ticks and non-jump cancellable normals too. There are three main ways to input it :

1. Input it as the normal triple circle motion, either during combos (Spark Bolt into this will combo 99% of the time) or far away when the enemy is magnetized (Only works on douch-e-bags, sandbags, asleep people or people who have admitted defeat and let you use this move. The training dummy and your friend will also let you perform this (your friend may not though)), but Tager will jump during this, instantly giving away your intention. Another way is to do a normal jump, input two circles in mid-air (make sure they end in up) and do a final 270 on the ground.

2. High jump and input the three circles that way. Better, but still gives you away easily. Kinda is the same as the first one though, because doing circle motions WILL make you jump anyway.

3. : The Trick : My favourite : once again, three full circles are not needed, doing the GETB (Genesic Emerald Tager Buster) motion twice (or once +another 270) usually is enough to perform the Astral. Now you need very fast hands only and you can use this on wakeup, and during close-range situations like 4D or Gadget Finger! If you use this method however, you MUST check on training mode you do not miss ANY of the inputs or Tager will 5D or 2D (sometimes Spark Bolt or Voltec Charge depending on your input) instead! Spark Bolt(horizontal) into KoT is also very easy on either side if you get the input method down! Anyway, upon successfully executing it, this should happen:




And, naturally, the Antharax of Hysteria and Doom from which the latter is dealt to your opponent and the former is dealt to your viewers/spectators when it actually hits:





(But seriously, if you use this, you are one of the best keyboard users, one of the cockiest players ever or you are signing your own death warrant by blowing 100 Heat to this, espicially when GETB is invulnerable, costs only 50 Heat, and King Of Tager is not + costs 100 Heat. If you are so much of a masochist, then go for Spark Bolt combos and humilate your enemy!)

I hope this guide helped everyone. Of course, expert Tager players will know most of this, but if you did not, then I hope you learned something!

Feedback and criticism is appreciated, this is my first guide!

Go Tager broboard force!
