Zeromus_X

That's good to hear. =) I'm in a room right now with 6 people, but maybe if there's room later I can send you an invite.

I'll still stick to Ragna of course, though a lot of characters just look more fun to play in CS for some reason, and with the new challenge/tutorial modes, trying out most of the cast won't be out of question for me. Though if they offer Valkenhayn for DLC I'll have an instant new main lol, even better if they make him Slayer clone.

Hey, what's up?

I myself have a Japanese PS2 to play imports, but most people probably use SwapMagic (http://www.swapmagic3.com/). It's fairly inexpensive and easy to setup from what I understand but you have to do a bit of operating on your PS2's disc tray/flop top in order to use it (site linked above has tutorials).

How are you doing? My copy of MBAA finally came in the mail yesterday, I've been playing it with my friends a lot and looking up stuff on MeltyBread. So far I think I like Ryougi Shiki the best, she seems a lot like Ragna. I can't wait to learn those crazy long blockstrings and combos I see in videos of the game.

Do I need to use my JP account? If not, I'll just use X but I wasn't sure.

Yeah. Just didn't feel like waiting a month lol, plus it lets my friends and I play it early.

Sure, go ahead.

With backthrow you can just do backthrow, Blood Kain, high jump towards enemy jD...D Loop. I don't know if you can combo off of 6A, you can do 5B, 6A, 5C, D (1-hit), Blood Kain, 5B, 5D (1 hit), Gauntlet, delayed 214D, etc from midscreen which has 6A in it though. Corner throw, backthrow, 6C, and 3C are the most common ways you can combo into BK.

Will Current Code come to console at some point? I only heard it was coming to arcades. Tohno Shiki and Nanaya Shiki were really the only characters that appealed to me at first, haven't really studied what the other characters are like. What MB characters would be considered "rushdown" chars?

Are you sure it's not the 22C RC 6C DC 5D 22C combo? I dunno why I'd do HF RC 6C...but it sounds like it might trip people up a few times lol. But yeah, <3 22C, it's gdlk. It was nice to play you again, I was wondering if you were still playing online or not. Oh yeah, I ordered my first arcade stick a while ago. It should get here in like 4 weeks or so...that should be fun. Also ordered Actress Again to play with some friends, so I'll finally be getting into MB. A few friends and I also signed up for this tourney that's gonna be in town this month, it has lots of different games. One other friend and I (dunno if you remember him, johnantagonist, "scrubbiest Jin player alive") are gonna enter the CT tournament, so that's why I've been practicing with Ragna more recently. I expect to get whupped but I've never really entered any offline tourneys so it's still really exciting lol.

I was under the impression you replaced Ragna with Rachel for your main for awhile lol. Yeah, one day I was like, "I know some stuff for Ragna, but I don't really know anything even basic for Rachel"...so I looked at some vids and started practicing her bnbs in the combo vid, and I'd like to say I've gotten better with her. Watching vids of Alzarath, Matsu, etc is really inspiring, I want to learn how to do that pumpkin/frog/j2C oki/pressure so effortlessly.

Are you sure I'm the same Zeromus? What communities have we met in before? I'm sorry, I just don't recognize your username.

It's no problem, don't worry about it man. I was thinking of getting MB on the PS2 too, I never got into MB before. Hopefully future MB installments will have online.

Thanks! It was nice playing you. I've always lurked here but never really posted until recently; this is a pretty nice place.

Hey, nice to see you on DL as well.
