good liz vs mitsuru matches incoming, + me

Launchers unscaling was actually a character specific thing in Vanilla SFxT iirc. I know for sure some were (like Lili's) that you could even do without a TC and most if not all of them were removed in 2013. I believe you can still salvage some scaling off a launcher but it's not worth the meter when you can do more optimal things. There's no way to get rid of the scaling and red health in 2013 off a boost chain period now, maybe some if you cancel the launch but then you're already way down in scaling anyways from the boost chain. Julia's best TC is her HP DP but her solo combo enders are actually really nice for set ups and decent damage.

Edit: This is all what I know from Lili's unscaling launcher and a few others (why does Jin have this?) so idk if we're talking about the same thing now that I look at it.

Save the archives, I'm doing laundry right now but I can probably look at it later

Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification. From the sound of it, you must play SFxT, or at least follow it a fair bit. Who do you use?

See my ninja edit, I could be talking about something else ^^;. I'm a SF4 main so SFxT was something I broke in pretty quick and have labbed really hard to get optimal with, so I hope it gets a bit of ground. In Vanilla I used Yoshi/Lili or Yoshi/Sakura because of a meter neutral-ish vortex, but the meter got nerfed super hard in 2013 so I use Yoshi/Asuka now.

The idea is this: Yoshi dances around builds a bar

Yoshi does windmill TC to Asuka

If it hits I get 500 damage, another bar, and dumb oki. If it's blocked I get a DP safe 50/50 with the same result.

Asuka does a mix up for 500 more damage. If it hits I win, if not I TC into Yoshi and do it all again.

It's not the best strategy because by themselves these characters are garbage and if they guess right twice they can win pretty easily, but it's meta as fuck and gets retarded Seth amounts of perfects.

[Tecta1Eastside]

Asuka got a little better in 2013.

I use her and Marduk in SFxT.

I might learn ibuki or guy even if i buy the dlc.

Do asuka and julia make a decent team?

I've trolled Milln enough, so proper shoutouts time.

Shoutouts to Milln for the great t- I mean for the sweet tournament organizing, housing and feeding me cereal, taking me out to the fuckin' ballin' burrito place that has made me question bane's decision making skills, and overall being a good buddy of mine like always.

Shoutouts to Skeletal Wes, it's always great having you guys up here, just a shame we didn't get to play as many casuals as I would've liked. Seeing you flex in Blazblue was pretty damn funny though. Shoutouts to Cheddar's.

Shoutouts to ZomB, it was cool having you out here again, and getting rocked by you in two different games. Next time we gotta play something I actually play though, heh.

Shoutouts to Eshi, we didn't really talk at all during tournament, but chilling at Cheddar's and talking Edamame+documentaries was fun, looking forward to seeing you guys at FR.

Shoutouts to Reptar, I still don't know anything about how you actually play, but repping showers, fakku, and funny Waifu Emblem stories is always good in my book.

Shoutouts to fuggin' Mr. Wes, coming out to have fun with us and play my second favorite character. Always fun hanging out, next time we should remember to discuss music.

Which reminds me of Mellis. Shoutouts to you my friend, for breaking my heart and telling me I'm friendzoned at dinner. BASTARD NEVER REALLY WANTED TO TOUCH My BUTT :<

Also good shit in games and music, we must discuss things of that nature sometime as well.

Shoutouts to Tret, we love you Cookeville! And your robo DPs all night long keeping Mellis from going in hard and making you bite the pillow. Fun times were had in Guilty Gear, and i still don't know how to Robo-Ky matchup, lol.

Shoutouts to Bane, Blue Coast Burrito is the best and you know it. Keep learning GG man, you've definitely got potential to do work as Jam, I dig it.

Shoutouts to Jacko, who I didn't get to play with at all outside of a single GG set, but that's cool. I'll let you speed-teach me the ways of Narukami next tournament.

Shoutouts to Phil trying to turn me into a scumbag. It's never gonna happen my friend, I will not be swayed just because the Potemkin matchup is gross. Thank you very much for the May matchup exp though, I feel like I did learn a lot about

Shoutouts to Patrick for some lulzy matches and hanging out after the tournament, always fun man.

Shoutouts to Volpe, it's always fun playing, and if you wanna talk about theism or metaphysical stuff any time, just PM me for my number, I never get to talk about that shit.

Shoutouts to Star, stop being horrible at talking online Star, you're so much better and understanding irl it's ridiculous.

Here you go, Zomb. You might want to turn off the volume, lol.

This is why we say Liz vs Mitsuru is not that bad.

@Klein, you have skype?

Also, who wants to punch me in the face if I get wishy-washy again? I'mma make this shit real so Star can eat it.

I'll admit, the burrito was good. It just wasn't breakfast food.

[Klein]

I am sorry, but you are mistaken.

Burritos can be breakfast food as well as leftover pizza, you just have to embrace it.

After someone mentioned donuts and coffee, burritos didn't sound appetizing at all.

[ZomB]

Thanks Volpe, I'll watch and make any comments. Maybe I'll be convinced "this matchup isn't as bad as I thought" or "bace is really strong(from what I've heard this is true regardless)" or i might just think people aren't exploiting liz enough. I dunno. If Star wants MU specific critique I'll probably have something to add, but getting critical on someone who isn't really interested is pretty lame.

Lost Soul is a buddy of mine so I'll prob go talk to him about the MU too.

[tret_tree]

I've embraced the breakfast burrito. It was an emotional moment, like a meeting with a long lost friend. If the friend were an edible brick of rice and beans wrapped in a flour tortilla.

I don't think he'd mind critique on the match-up itself, he just doesn't want to discuss the MU's value itself.

And yeah Bace is really strong, but you gotta admit Star and Lost Soul are really solid as well.

@Alphakami: I finally got the time to try out some combos in training mode, and I found a few ways to land UF+MK with King after a few HK DP tag combos.

Mid-Screen you can't get much, but if you land HK DP while very close to the opponent you can dash and do UF+MK for a full King combo, does pretty good damage. If you land it slightly further away you'll only get 1 hit of Julia's HK DP, and it makes it super hard to land the UF+MK, but if you buffer it during the dash, King will hit them right as Julia does, though you can't get many good followups after it. The damage is no better than a single bar Julia combo with EX Arrow.

However, in the corner you can do huge damage from a simple tag combo, so I do encourage you to use it in the corner. Otherwise, there's no reason to do it.

[Top_Cat]

Maaaaaaan. I wanna get into a fighting game that is not named P4A. I cannot stay interested in it long enough to get better.

[Klein]

Play Guilty Gear and stop being a bitch.

[Jackie Chandler]

Guilty Gear. Remember, it's like, out for PS3 and stuff now. :D

Also, sorry for taking so long on shoutouts, guys. I've put off a ton of schoolwork the past few days, and now it's kicking my ass, haha. I'll try to get around to them Wednesday or something, but expect them to be brief.

Oh, and I participated in a Melee tournament with .NiteSkye, Papstr, and Liquid John today. It was actually really fun, even though I lost my very first match. Now I feel kind of bad for jokingly trashing on SSB so often. :P

[Top_Cat]

Alright, will do. and... FUCK YOU AND KLEIN! D:< T___T

[Alphakami]

Hey Middy, I'll be glad to Rape on you with Klein in some GG. That would keep your attention, ne?

@Uri: Excellent, thanks! I'll check it out very soon, but it sounds like it'll work into my game easily. I'll report my findings shortly.

[Anne]

Asuka got way better in 2013 but her footsies are still so bad you need a partner that makes up for it. Julia/Asuka does not sound like the best of teams because Neither of them are going to be pulling enough weight in neutral. Ibuki might actually be the worst character in the game now :x

[Milln]

Shoutouts to Georgia. =3

You're all great to hang out with and it was lots of fun having you up here and playing you in graemz. Eshi's a boss, ZomB is that dude, Skeletal Minion has a cool hat, and it was pleasant meeting Reptar. Eager to see you all and hang out at Final Round!

Speaking of which; my guys-

If you are going to Final Round and haven't registered yet, you should do so as soon as possible. The deadline is March 15th.

http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm

Since the next tournament is, in fact, Final Round for us, I recommend we do a gathering or two in addition to the normal weeklies to keep everyone's vs. Human practice up. Taking suggestions on places and dates now.

Mmm, also, Lost and Found:

1 black wired xbox 360 controller. It was on my desk in my room.

1 pair of headphones in my car on the left side of the back seats.

Milln, any time you can pick me up to play, I can probably come out. And give some gas money as long as we eat cheap :P Only problem is I can't really help you grow in P4U, and we'd have to invite Phil or other GG players out for me to really learn more in GG.
