Ragna has to b the most annoying person to fight because of his drive. I'm noticing that if you are to close to him his drive attacks allow him to hit with a good amount of distance between him and his opponent. Now this is a problem for me because I play as Tager and he is very slow when it comes to attacking and is only good at close range until magnetism is applied. And every time I fight Ragna I find myself being juggled to hell and back before I reach the floor due to air recovery. I'm looking for anyone that has some advice as to how I should approach fighting him.
Ragna Matchup Troubles...

MemberYeah, those is what some of the things I hate about some players as Ragna (and me being Tager). Unfortunatly with Tager you sometimes gotta be patient (especially with Ragna) befor you smash your opponents head in.
Here are some tips that I use when fighting Ragna (beaten him alot with Tager):
1: If you have him Magnatised, use that to your advantage. Just press the normal Drive (no direction) if he's far and coming at you to pull and catch him of gaurd.
2: If he does "Gauntlet Hades" make it your business to do "Gigantic Tager Driver" if you manage to block it.
3: You can also use "Voltech Charge" to negate all incoming attacks.
4: If his combos don't all connect do "Magna-Tech Wheel" (if you have enough heat)in the middle of his combo. (it will catch him off gaurd because when he starts the D.V. Tager looks like he's being hit.)
5: "Dead-Spike" is counted as a projectile so if you know it's coming do "Sledge Hammer".
6: If magnatised use the "Gigantic Tager Driver" (the holdable one) while he's running at you long distance.
7: If you succede in "Gigantic Tager Driver" and he does roll away (or rolls in front of you) use it again before he can put a command in.
8: If the first part of "Sledge Hammer" hits use "Gigantic Tager Driver" instead of going into the additional attack. (but this allows throw escape sometimes so be careful).
9: "Spark Bolt" from any distance sometimes catches him off gaurd. And even if he defends against it, use the magnatism to your advantage.
10: If you have 100% Heat use "Magna-Tech Wheel" and then "Terra Break" (if he blocks "Magna-Tech Wheel" sometimes "Terra Break will catch him off gaurd but it's a risky wager!)
11: Sometime Tager normal grab catches people off gaurd becaused of it's long range.
And this is for all characters, if you defend the first part of "Carnage Scissors" just grab him before the second strike.
These are the skills I use to beat many characters but ESPECIALLY Ragna.
Tagers strong power gives him the right to smash Ragna's "Azure Grimoire" like a bug.

MemberThanks for the advice i'll see what i learn from it. Another reason its a pain to fight ragna is because a lot of his moves allow him to slide across the screen really quickly to keep the pressure on his opponent.
And I've just recently figured out how and what the rapid cancels are for im going to try and implement them into my strategy. Thanks again Singaki!
