oh man...NC threads...I miss that kind of stuff. I mean he was kinda ignorant and he'll probably hate us for that stuff but w/e. This is what happens when people don't quite get what you're talking about...

so ive been bb playing for a couple days now and i feel like all im doing is training mode lol. also can someone tell me what instant block does, does it put you at plus frames or a neutral state or something? i saw a hazama player instant block in the middle of a block string and immediately countered with 5B during the block string. ive been trying to do the same thing but im getting blown up haha.

Instant block lowers the amount of frames that you're in blockstun. I forgot how much though. In CS1, it was 5 frames but they changed it b/c it was really good and made the game more defensive than offensive. It also gives you a good amount of meter. So by application, you can make atks that would normally be safe on block unsafe b/c you recover faster.

Session at my place today (Cary NC) and we will have a fair amount of BB players. 7th would be great if you came through so we could play some more, had fun playing the other week.

If anyone needs my address please send me a PM on here or over at SRK (xxjosxx).

Starting at 2pm, going till .. whenever. Will have multiple LAGLESS setups (CRT and asus monitors).

I believe in BBCS2 Instant blocking reducess hitstun by 3 frames. This doesn't mean that you'll always be at advantage because depending on what move you instant blocked, your opponent can simply cancel the move into another. You have to know what your opponents options are after you block your opponent's move before you can just throw out an attack. DON'T THINK YOU'RE IN THE CLEAR JUST BECAUSE YOU INSTANT BLOCK SOMETHING.

IB on ground in CS2 is -3 frames from blockstun, in air it's -6. Like Austin said, you have to remain aware of your opponent's options regardless, but IBing reduces blockstun and pushout AND gives you free meter. You can also combine it with Barrier to get the benefits of both types of guard, at the expense of only taking off 2 frames of guardstun on the ground and 5 in the air.

Just saw your message now. :x Got home like a couple hours ago.

I'd be down to make another trip to Cary (either your place or Jon's) next week and play more games.

I'll ask again since school started up:

Anyone interested in having BB weeklies/bi-weeklies? I'm thinking NC State, but I just assume that's easiest for people. If not, I'm fine with never going to gatherings but placing first in tournaments, lol.

Posted

I'm down for some weeklies/bi-weeklies. I could definitely do some BB, preferably on Saturdays. NC State works for me as well since I'm on campus.

I liked the get together we had that one time over summer in one of the dorm lounges. If there aren't any better locations, I'd be down for that. If there's some other people on-campus that have an interest, that'd be sweet. I'm open to more than GG/BB (3S, SSF4, Catherine, or any other multi-player game that there's an interest in).

Posted

If that's the case, I can grab the game room in Wolf Village since I live in Building G. It's a bit more spacious, has a nice big flat screen, a few couches, and a balcony. Just lemme' know what works best for everyone. I wouldn't mind getting together this Saturday if people are interested.

Me and Shinso Beam are playing Arcana Heart 3 at NC State tomorrow (Saturday), but if people wanna bring a TV / PS3 for blazblue, I'm sure people will play.... Especially if one of you guys get in contact with Dale (RoboCurse) cuz he's been posting on SRK about wanting to play BB.

I'm sure me and Shinso Beam will play a little BB too, since most of our AH3 players have either went to that VA tournament / not coming this weekend. Also, we play every Saturday, and usually start around 1:30.

Wolves' Den

Talley Student Center

Raleigh, NC 27606

*:Located off of Dan Allen Drive

Start Time : 1:30pm (people may show up before then?)

There's more details about the place on the NC srk thread. Hope to see some of you guys tomorrow.
