good thing I wasn't rusty at dodging. sean and david you're both hella chill. hope I get another chance to play you guys.

special thanks to zinac for running shit and marlin/XAQ for being my teammates. It's impossible for me to make it to NEC or FR due to school as always so hope I get another chance to see all you mw/ec gg players again sometime.

we need to play more someday

haha I can't even remember the last time I went to training mode to practice I wasn't in a good condition to play saturday night or all sunday but I was too out of practice to deserve winning the tourney anyways It was still fun and glad I could get some games in against some ppl I never get to see (kyohei, sean, david, bluenine) Was nice meeting Kyle, MacArthur Blunts (nice offense), and NerdJosh too. Wish I had got some more casuals in. Also why the hell didn't I get to play Moroha a single matches all weekend wtf.

I think I ended up just having mm against 3 people 10-3 against a3r, 3-1 pot, 6-1 eddie, 1-1 baiken he wanted to run it back ft5 so i went like 1-1 slayer or pot, 1-1 robo, 1-1 sol, 2-0 eddie? ft4 against woki 4-1 baiken ft3 against vyers won them all with pot dunno about any other mms that went down

haha this is sweet, thanks for the thread

The only reason I think some GG players became that way is because so much of the new blood in the GG community just stopped playing it for BB in the first place. Ideally BB players can pick up GG and play both, but that hasn't happened for a long time now and some GG players are rightfully frustrated with the scene as a whole. It's understandable how someone would pick up BB before GG because it's more accessible and has prettier sprites, but it's disappointing how few players actually picked up GG again or are picking it up fresh after realizing GG offers something BB doesn't have. Having an introduction to the game with the information available to them in an even easier and more accessible way might help a bit, but to be honest there is a hell of a lot of great information on dustloop and people willing to answer questions, so anyone who has an interest should not have that tough of a time as it is.

sick video shinjin, good job! one of these days I'll go about making my own haha

ft3 $10 sounds good! I'm still down to play a3r for $600 but it seems he is having money issues to even make it there? 3v3 sounds good, it's probably worth making it somewhat official before the event so more people are aware and enter

So I got screwed out of a class but this means I can make it to SB!! If anyone in the area has a car and is willing to pick me up from the airport please PM me or get in contact through IRC! Way excited to finally make a tourney outside wc!! Would be nice to get GG team tourney info. Also if anyone wants to mm in guilty let me know!

page 2 wtf

I had written up a post about how I felt BB's downfall is it's failure to create a platform for players to showcase their own style and invention, due to basically being a mix of a Capcom fighting game components (where your options in general are very limited, and depth comes from mastering that with footsies and option selects) with airdasher components thrown in that actually resulted in removing a lot of the depth you find in a Capcom game (not to mention okizeme as a whole), but I realized it would probably fall on deaf ears here. Instead, I'm wondering if there is any way that GG in America can have some sort of growth in player base aside from the obvious new release or throwing more events. While Blazblue as a whole is nowhere near GG at a high level of play in terms of required character knowledge and execution, I don't believe that Blazblue players are any less capable of getting to know a system like GG's and enjoying it thoroughly. GG is a hard game to digest from the start, but it's always going to be easier picking up a fighter once a player is already familiar with the genre- I think the fundamentals of GG can be taught using BB as a building block, as odd as a thought that seems coming from GG. The key here is that there is a genuine interest in the game, which must first come from exposure. I've thought about making both beginner and advanced short tutorial videos for guilty gear but have always ditched the idea since I figured there just wasn't an audience for it. I'll start bringing ideas for it together again since I still think it could only help. Perhaps there can be a section of dustloop dedicated to presenting particularly interesting high level GG matches, with commentary/pointers making it easier to digest and therefore more interesting and informative for newer players. Negativity is never going to spur growth in the scene or help it as a whole... it's not Marvel. The game just has no replacement yet, and doesn't seem to be getting one soon. Instead of pointing out the downsides of a game like BB and spending time wishing for a new GG, it might not be too late just yet to keep some semblance of a scene in the states.

don't link to the videos of the stream in this thread, buy the DVD when it comes out! you will get temp banned if you post links.
