Moy_X7 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 In case you guys were interested: Frosty Faustings BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend Finals - Top 3 Results: First Place: Leonil_Requiem (Ragna) Second Place: Arisu (Ragna) Third Place: ShinSyn (Jin) I really wish I did better, I lost in the worst of ways: Randomness. Either way, a loss is a loss and I'll learn from it. Once I get my copy of Extend, I'm gonna be hitting up training mode even harder than before. Fuck it man, you did well. I seriously wish I could have gone too. I gotta get my ass to a major one of these days. If only I wasn't so poverty tier at the moment lol.
Chris Chaos Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Whoo for the year of the Ragna!!! Congrats on making third Shin. How many people were in the tourney? Sadly, only 8 people played... There were so many playing casuals so I thought we would have a decent turn out, but then again Chicago doesn't have a huge BlazBlue community. Lucien didn't show up or either he didn't play BlazBlue so I was kinda disappointed that I was the ONLY Jin rep there but hey, we had 4 Ragnas, 1 Jin, 1 Litchi, 1 Rachel and 1 Tsubaki/Tager.
LunaKage Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 If I would have shown up I would have had to fight that Tager. First match, fox only, no items, final destination.

Xx_Hoshi_xX Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Moi, nice job with the match up descriptions for extend. keep up the good work!
Chris Chaos Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 *Ragna mirror, random Carnage Scissors and Inferno Dividers* -___________- Some sad shit right? I know Leonil couldn't play like himself because the other guy was so random, he saw how I lost and was aware of the BS.
Moy_X7 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Moi, nice job with the match up descriptions for extend. keep up the good work! Thanks, I'll keep on doing what I can to make the Jin boards a more informative and organized place. Just be sure to contribute to the match-up threads as well if possible since I doubt that I can cover everything on my own and that goes for all of you lol.

I tried to make it out there, but family emergency came up at the worst possible moment. I did get to be a stream monster though. Grats Shin.
mAc Chaos Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Leonil: But you haven't beat my brother. :U (in tourney) lol i love this kind of comeback. "you can beat me, but you can't beat this other guy!!!!"
LunaKage Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 lol i love this kind of comeback. "you can beat me, but you can't beat this other guy!!!!" That's actually the joke, because it's actually very rare for me to lose to his brother. But one tourney, the only tourney we ever fought each other in, I lost lol
Chris Chaos Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I tried to make it out there, but family emergency came up at the worst possible moment. I did get to be a stream monster though. Grats Shin. Damn, I hope things aren't too serious. I'll be wishing you and your family the best of luck with the issue at hand. And thanks bro, I tried my best and I'll learn from my mistakes so I don't have what happened to me last time, happen again.
eQualz Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Didn't we have a throw > 214A whiff cross under thing back in CS1 days? I tried it out and the timing seems pretty tight. Got it worked out a few times but only on back throw. Can't remember properly
TCSyd Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 The cancel window is later, so it doesn't work on as many characters. The only character that I know it works on is Hazama.
Lucien Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Damn, I hope things aren't too serious. I'll be wishing you and your family the best of luck with the issue at hand. And thanks bro, I tried my best and I'll learn from my mistakes so I don't have what happened to me last time, happen again. Thanks for the well wishes bro, things are getting better on my end, this was just a temporary set back. We still gotta get those casuals in too.
Jourdal Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 More ren matches The kaqn blowups were kinda funny....that 5D>Dice car is a life saver i suppose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hq48yJMFWw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcHYLFNzoio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjkN0vlfEg8
kirk Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Does ending a combo in extend with 214A midscreen lead to actual oki? Ren's doing it like no tomorrow lol
Xx_Hoshi_xX Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 meh... not really. It's just if they neutral tech you can continue pressure, if they tech back or forward you could do 6c, 2c, ja, air throw... so you have a lot of options depending on how they tech. However, I won't be using it as good as it sounds (in theory). Well, I might use it a couple times to see the dynamics for it myself but I won't be using it like ren lol
LuminAbyss Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Kirk, I just noticed your PSN ID, and so I must ask: Do you play MB?
kirk Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Kirk, I just noticed your PSN ID, and so I must ask: Do you play MB? I only mash j2c does that count? jk I used to, Kinda no one to play with.
Moy_X7 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Man, I get bored really fast watching Jin match videos nowadays, including Ren's. It has come to the point where I've seen most of everything that can be done by Jin, the rest just depends on how solid the player is.
Jourdal Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 We're on the same page, and the solid jins dont seem to be showing up...but its BB videos,in general the only thing i've enjoyed watching are sakamoto ryouma blowups and dora matches.
Chris Chaos Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I can agree with you guys. I literally learned everything about Extend by watching the videos and I did pretty well against others who've been playing the game for awhile now. Converting over from CS2 to CS:EX is not that bad, as much as I hate to go back to CS2 because that's all I have ATM, I can easily get back into the swing of things playing EX for a bit. But I will say this, watching Jin and playing him are 2 different things, watching may be boring but playing him is fun.
