GGs Klein, tonight was fun, except for the fact that we lagged as if it was EU vs. NA. UGH. I felt like I did pretty good with I-No tonight. I didn't know her 6P could be used as an AA. Her combos are way to freaking hard, I feel like her pokes suck and her mixup blows. BUT, she's so fun! <3

We don't have actual confirmed details on it, but she's in staffless mode. You can only use her non-staff related specials during OD, so you can't do Shinshin, Kokushi, Ippatsu, Riichi or Kote it seems.

Some stuff I've been listening to: Lost Soundtrack: If you plan on watching the show, ever, I suggest not listening to these, as they take away some of the show if you listen to them before seeing their respective scenes. If you don't care about that and listen anyway, then I still suggest not reading the comments, as they WILL spoil the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nH1rCXv36A - Life & Death (All Variations) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3O59xXMBkI - Moving On (The End) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUEEHHqYqww - Parting Words http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEVCE6aTmhw - There's No Place Like Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7LPXH0a1Mo - Landing Party You guys should know by now that I'm a mega Lost fanboy.

I listen to mostly orchestral pieces, like the songs from Lost and Yuhki Kuramoto. Michael Giacchino is fantastic, so I listen to him a lot.

I can't wait to see the finished Litchi animation. I especially like the added movement to her hair at the end of the first draft. Keep it up!

Yo guys, all of the Persona, BB, GG and Anime references are listed in the website rip thread in Zepp Museum. No need to figure it out yourself. :p

Jesus guys, how am I supposed to keep up with this thread if you're posting 100+ messages in just a few hours? >_> Since Jackie brought up palettes, I'm EXTREMELY disappointed that they took out my palette I used. They took out the CT version and made a variation of it in CS, that is also now gone. (Palette #10 on the default page, in both games: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/6/64656/1548195-litchicolorchart.jpg (CS) http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2518/lithcicsct.png (This is the CT palette, but with CS art)) I guess I'll use her palette #10 still, since it's kind of similar: (The brown one)

I wish I could go to more of these. I'm so excited to get home this weekend. I need to netplay, so bad.

What I mean for the ad-lib parts are to run through some very common instances that a Litchi player can confirm into a combo. In some cases the staff will be far enough in front of you that Haku > Hatsu > RiichiA > IppatsuA will work, but other times it wouldn't and you'd have to go straight into a regular gatling string into a knockdown. Rather than do that, she has the option of doing a sliding j.B and continue with a staff recall combo. Something that you wouldn't opt for in any other circumstance except for that particular instance. Those are the things that I find to be truly useful for Litchi players to know after they've learned all the BnB's and screen positions. Like I said, it would be a lot of work, but I can go through all of those instances myself. Now that DL has a BB code for collapsing tables, it will be very easy to organize and the thread won't be so hard to look for stuff. If you would, I'd greatly like to run the combo thread, with you adding in anything that you'd like.

The way DL's new format is laid out has a section for Challenge Mode tutorials, CMV's and stream archives. This is how all of the video threads look now, following DL's new standard. It covers everything we need as far as sections, the only thing that has to be decided are which videos to put in.

Video thread obviously needs to follow the same format as all of the other video threads. As far as content goes, I believe we should add all the footage from decent to high level play. Keep out the truly bad stuff, but still keep in the not-so-amazing footage just so people can see what doesn't work. All of the current video threads have a section specified for notable players, so that will also help users know who to look out for. And if we wanted to, we can add notes on what some good matches are to watch. For the combo thread, I feel that we need to list combos from each starter (As always) and taking screen position into account is very important. Though I would like to take that a step further and have the staff's placement taken into account. As there are very specific combos that are need to get the staff back in some cases. (An example would be having the staff too far in front of you to do 5B > 2C > 5D > Dash 5B so you would instead have to do 5B > 6B > 5C > 2C > 5D and other things of that nature) I know it would be a whole lot of work, and I personally would take the time to find all of these combos for the listing. We need an FAQ/Q&A for basic questions and then the general thread which is just for normal gameplay related chitchat. This is just my opinion.

I see... I'll keep that stuff in mind next time I go researching. I'm back in NC this week though, so I can't play with you until late Friday not or Saturday morning. We might be home Thursday night, in which case I'm free to play Friday. And this is my corner BnB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf39Z5CEErw

Speaking of Gear, I CANNOT GET A GRASP ON THIS GAME. I normally never have a problem picking up a game and doing okay in it. Normally I don't get good enough to play it competitively (MvC3, SFIV, KoF13, TTT2, SCV to name a few), but I can AT LEAST play a decent neutral game and do my combos right. With Guilty Gear though, I just cannot get used to the odd movement and techniques needed. I can obviously feel it's anime air-dasher base, as BB and P4U share pretty much the same basic structure as GG does. The problem I'm having with GG is mainly that I don't know any of the characters in-depth. I don't know their frame data, proration, what the properties of their moves are, they're mixup and oki options, etc. so I can definitely say that this is my main problem. However, I still am not a fan of it's jump cancel system, I feel it's not as response as BB. I do LOVE the throw system in GG though. It's one of my favorites. Another problem is probably that I'm trying to play I-No, who in general has an awkward playstyle. Though I am also playing Venom, who I have trouble with as well. Hopefully in the coming months I'll get better at it. I'd love it if you guys would netplay with me, and tell me what I could work on. I obviously can't make it out to casuals much, so this is the only way I'd ever really get the experience that I need. =/ ALSO ALSO, Izayoi is coming out today in Japan, I can't wait for that. Nu and Mu turned out to be pretty fantastic. (Especially Nu, she's way more interesting than Lambda was) Now all I need is Kokonoe and Nine/Phantom to be announced so I can flip out and act like a crazy fanboy. (Because I love Kokonoe, and have wanted her to be playable since CT. And Nine/Phantom are just amazing. So I need them too) Last thing: The new SG is pretty great. I've been playing it like crazy this past week. Sadly, no one is ever online, so I never get matchup experience. (Basically I'm mad free in that game) But training mode is awesome. I'd really wish you guys would play that game with me. Q_Q

Only on tall characters though. (Tager, Hakumen, etc.) Litchi's 5A whiffs on everyone medium sized or smaller.

:lordknight: Playing fighting games is the only way I can be at peace. Lol It's my one true passion, aside from writing. Although, I do LOVE to lay in bed, with the lights dimmed, in a freezing cold room, covered up with my favorite blanket, watching Netflix and eating a cup of frozen grape/apple juice. <3 That's a good night for me.

You could be playing BlazBlue, that beats everything. Real talk.

Sweet, welcome HARD_BREAD!

GGs Dad! At first I was like :lordknight: then I was like :GetEm: then I was like :zidane: and by the end of the set I was like :st1ckbug:

This is awesome.

I honestly bet it's just FC 6C > OD > [5D > Habakiri]xN. It would allow for more reps and less scaled damage.

So, I bought GG, I played it, mashed hard in training mode and... I LOVE IT. I-No is still hard as balls to play, but I can do her combos more consistently with my trusty PS3 pad. I still can't TK, FRC, do dive loops on heavy characters, or preform j.S > HCL/VCL consistently. I'll hopefully get there one day though. As for her neutral game and mixup, SCREWWWWW THAT, it's even harder than her BnB's. Venom though, is way easier, and I'm having a great time with him. He feels a lot more natural to me than she does. Even though I still like her more. So yeah, I'm now a I-No/Venom player.

Don't forget the possibilities of starting the combo from a normal, or a single special. I'm sure something like AA 5A > j.B > j.2A > j.C > 5C > OD > Stuff would work. Or Renka > IAD > j.B > j.A > 5C > OD > Stuff. Hakumen's got a lot of potential with his OD.

Awwwwww. <3 You guys. <33333 Super cat face. :3 I'm still talking with them. I won't cut them out just based off of what they've done in the past. It's unprofessional (Although, so was posting about it before getting a lot of information. Which was kind of a mistake. Although I REALLY appreciate all the support from you guys. <3 again <333) to dismiss them without actually hearing what they have to say. @Tad: Now that's an offer I would blatantly refuse. There's no way I would ever let you guys do that. Lol

I suppose I could go down that route. I really would like the opportunity to make it out for majors like NEC, ECT and FR. I'll think about it. Thanks for the input everybody. <3

Can't tell if serious... But either way. Lolno

Yeah, my parents said the same thing. Getting noticed in the first place is an honor. Even if it isn't with a great company. I think I'm going to pass on this one though. I just can't bring myself to trust a company that's known for causing issues. Hopefully a bigger company will one day notice me as well! :P
