Cary the main thing you need to work on is your defense. I'd like to propose this challenge to you, and you can choose either option:

1-Play a non reversal character (i.e. Carl, Relius, Tao, Platinum, Valk, Arakune, etc). Playing these types of characters will force you to improve your basic defense (reacting to overheads, IB, etc) while simultaneously learning how that character works, their strengths and weaknesses, etc.

OR

2-Play a crapton of matches where you don't use D to escape pressure. This will force you to learn block strings of other characters, what is legit and what is not, throw breaking on reaction, etc. This alone will make you a much better player. If you know where the holes are, or can anticipate your opponent's offense, THEN you can use your drives accordingly, making people very scared to pressure you.

The way you're using them right now pretty much looks like you're downright mashing, which is unwise in most situations. Some characters have various ways to bait this VERY easily (Mu, Carl, Relius, Ragna, Haku, Litchi) and keep their pressure consistent. Getting hit by 2a for trying to jump/chicken block and taking 2-2.5k is much preferred to eating a FC and losing the match b/c you wanted a 2/4D.

Other than that, learn optimal/situational combos, get more comfortable with your normals (isn't 2C like +3-4 on block? whore the fuck outta that shit), and vary your D strings.

Wednesday I'll be cracking out online with Ex, so I'll keep you guys posted on any rooms I make.

[TheGreatReptar]

Really, rather than actually playing a second reversaless character, you could just make a second PSN account, hop online and see how long you can survive without retaliating.

[Setsuna]

I'll probably go with option 2 and see how I do falling into temptation to press D, Since alot of my regular training partners are getting ahold of Extend now with the NA release I'll try it on them as they adjust to their changes. I'll record some matches so yall can judge my progress in this regard.

[TheGreatReptar]

You tell yourself that, but that's like me telling myself I won't D-DP with Tsubaki with 3 charges.

[pktazn]

Tsubaki has a DP? Jokes. Picked up Extend but I can't play it yet

What day are the people going to Megacon going? I'll be there Saturday and maybe Sunday if my friends want to go then (I don't know why they would except to get last minute sales in the dealer room).

[Jyosua]

I'll be at Megacon Saturday. Maybe with luck I'll run into some of you guys that are going. :P

[Setsuna]

Zero Shift and Myself will be there all weekend, we should definitely get some hotel room matches in when everyone is too lazy to walk back to the con center :p

[Jyosua]

So you're saying I should bring my stick, then.

[Kamano]

I'll be at megacon on saturday and some of sunday I think

I'd find you guys and say hi but I've never met most/all of you guys so I dunno who to look for :x

I might enter the mvc3 and/or sc5 tournaments just for giggles, so if any of you are going to those, I'll be the nerd in the white and red tiger shirt

[7thFonon]

With Extend being released in the US, are you Jacksonville guys gonna be playing more offline games? Thinkin about getting Extend but not really wanting to buy a brand new game if I'm just gonna be playing it online.

[Zero Shift]

I'll be at MegaCon all weekend most likely. Just look for us since most of us met eachother at Winterfest. That or PM me your numbers and I'll throw you a text sometime over the weekend.

Jyosua, if you want to bring it, be my guest, you can leave it in our room if you don't want to carry it around.

[AlxIce]

So tonight we're getting a FL room going right?

[Setsuna]

Someone host it and Ill join

[Kamano]

So I've been out of the loop on blazblue stuff for a while, but I've been thinking about getting extend just because I buy every fighting game and play it at least a little bit

so what all does extend contain exactly? I think I heard someone say a while back that it has "all the dlc", but I'm not sure if they meant just the dlc characters (plus relius obviously), or if it actually had like all the dlc colors and announcers and all that on the disc as well?

Also who are some of the best characters from the looks of things this time around

[Kurushii]

Ill have a room and stream up when I get off around 10.

EX has all the old dlc on the disc. You unlock it through the Gallery. The only DLC so far to buy is the new announcers. Characters are all unlocked from the start. Top tier is Ragna, Hazama, Hakumen, Valkenhayn.

[Romeyurhomey]

I'll be on around 11:00

PSN: Romeyurhomey
