Thanks for the info!

I'm guessing since you can rent pads and sticks, you can bring your own to play the console games correct?

Forgive me for asking this since I havn't been to the new arcade in NY since CTF closed down. For BB do they just have the old CS arcade or did they actually import the CS2 arcade machine or are they using the console version of it?

The man is right.....http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/feb/21/chinatown-fair-relocating-if-things-dont-work-out/

Hope gatherings will still happen, I wanted to catch up at least once just to see what the community was like. Either way though: Name: SolheartStud Location: Port Chester, NY Characters: BB: GG: (if I ever play it) XBL: SolheartStud Notes: I've got a lot to learn, but I have a drive to become better.

Probably a dumb question, but if there isn't an arcade will there still be meetings of sorts? I wanted to at least attend some gatherings once I got off for summer vacation.

Well, I guess my biggest weakness (besides my lack of match-up expierience) is pressure and block strings. As far as combos go, it looks a lot about him has been tweaked so I don't really have to worry about Grabs into dash 5B or w/e anymore. I guess my question is, if I work on block-strings and spacing in CS1, will I still be able to apply it into CS2? Although I do know, that 5B>6A doesn't gattle anymore. Sorry that I was unclear before, and if you still can't answer don't worry about it then. Thank you for your time.

As a Ragna player I would like to know if theres anything you think I could still get out of CS1 to be prepared for CS2 besides match-up expierience. If you could answer this question I would appreciate it. Thanks LK.
