Chumaralupa Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 GGs as well, I will forever push buttons in an attempt to get out of Carlos' corner pressure. Until one day I become clairvoyant.
Theupstreamer Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 You're just supposed to jump out Ruben. Akiha is too far to hit her with anything unless you got aoko dunks
Ryd' Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) You're just supposed to jump out Ruben. Akiha is too far to hit her with anything unless you got aoko dunks No, there are ways to punish jump outs; pillar release into dash 5A or 2/5C will catch jump startup if timed right. Her 623A will also do the job depending on spacing, but then she doesn't get the pressure reset. The only guaranteed way out of F-Akiha's pressure (assuming she doesn't let herself get pushed out too far) is to have an invincible+fast startup, long-ranged move (certain DPs, EX Hiero, W.Arc EX teleport grab, F-Sacchin EX hop-grab, etc.), which is what makes those matchups a lot less fun for her. C/H-Ciel in particular, because Hiero is a ridiculously fast full-screen punish; Ciel with meter = F-Akiha's 22x, 214x, and 421x don't exist outside of oki while Ciel is over 100% (which is pretty much always with C). Certain characters with teleport dashes (Nero, W.Len) might be able to escape that way depending on Akiha's spacing. Everything else you try to do can be beaten depending on what Akiha does; dashes/jump outs get stuffed by quick pillar release into combo, throw beats shield/block, dodging doesn't work for the most part because most of the pressure is a mix of delayed+negative edge specials. Your options also change after you've been sitting on a pillar for around 2 seconds since they become air unblockable at that point. Characters who don't have an easy-mode way out have to play a layered guessing game where you have to predict where the holes in the pressure will be (because there are always holes), and gamble on the best way to escape. Guess right, and you get out, seemingly for free; guess wrong, and the pressure resets; sit there and block, and she'll do it for days and you'll eventually get guard broken (used to happen a lot faster in PS2, and guessing wrong hurt more, which made it a lot scarier to deal with). Right now it's still workable, but a lot more manageable to be on the receiving end since you can afford more mistakes, won't get guard broken anywhere near as quickly, and even if you do, it isn't almost guaranteed death.

Ryd' Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Quality sucks, but I imagine this is how Ray's feeling looking at that.
Chumaralupa Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Angel Beats :DDDDD Mikey can you check that Pi string for errors from memory? Thanks.
M19Kamikaze Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 So he feels like Christ? Must be the hair... Also... freakin Angel Beats
LegendaryRath Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Eh I thought Angel Beats was ok. The ending was pretty emotional though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Zeromus_X Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I for one, will be sad when our Geist overlords rotate out of Standard
Chumaralupa Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 I for one, will be sad when our Geist overlords rotate out of Standard And continues to be a headache in Modern.
Ryuuka Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Start with gemstone caverns in play, remove an elvish/simian spirit guide, play flash dropping a protean hulk, search for geist of saint traft, 3 signal pests, 4 memnites, and 4 ornithopters. Next turn swing for lethal.
LegendaryRath Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Friday I'll be free for the entire afternoon/evening. Is there any chance we can do some stuff then? It's been months since the last time I had a set with Ruben and I want some good offline practice. Decided to take this game seriously again and I'll only get more obsessive in the coming months. Besides, if p4a comes back to haz's again (you know, maybe) then I want us all to get really good. Ruben, I hope this doesn't sound weird or anything but if you don't mind every now and then, could I come hang out in the afternoons occasionally to play some games? It's probably the only way that I'll ever even try melty. So... Monster Hunter Online on CryEngine3? I need to look into this, for.... obvious reasons.
Greyvangelist Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 too... weird? If only you were there when Ruben was living at Foxfire
LegendaryRath Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 And Ruben, I'm serious about this. feel free to say "no". Don't bother with "That wont work with me", just say "God that sounds awful, lets stick to fridays".
Valthazeryus Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) You should be a game show host. Oh. I misread that. I thought all of them were options of things he was only allowed to say: "No." Or the other more groovy sounding options: "Don't bother." "That wont work with me." "God that sounds awful, lets stick to Fridays." Edited April 23, 2013 by Valthazeryus
Chumaralupa Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Ryan I already told ya, if you're down some random afternoon just text me and I'll let you know if I'm free. This Friday should be fine but I wouldn't expect too many people to hang out since Finals week(s) is approaching.

Theupstreamer Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I WOULDN'T HANG OUT EVEN IF I WAS AVAILABLE.
Orrax Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Looks like this is the list of people qualified for GG for Arc Revo. I'm really just posting it because SLAYER. And no Testament or Order Sol makes me sad.
Zeromus_X Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Kind of surprised N-O didn't qualify for GG, but he did qualify for BB. Hopefully he wins a last chance qualifier. 5 Dizzy, I guess she really is fucked up in the new one. Also Rozu and Hayashi represent.
