TD

3c9d is inconsistant as fuck. we need ct 3c again. +3 on block. yum

heard testament's ny theme and it was alright. personally l don't like lyrics for lyric-less songs in general. otherwise l like most of bb and gg's songs. not a huge fan of: jam's theme, sol vs ky's theme, arakune's theme, tager's theme. but even those aren't bad... except jam's theme. ugh but the soundtracks from both games are really good imo.

four winds is... eh... outclassed? it's just not as useful and more easily avoided than daisharin.. as with anything, used sparingly one can make it work in a match, but it's just not that reliable. after a knockdown tsubame, 4kote d is probably much better since there's a significant difference in recovery. midscreen daisharin.... well, everyone has different uses. l tend to use my midscreen dai based on matchup/player exp. example, if l feel my foe will try to run to the other side, i'll try to cover every angle from where he's standing, how he'll try to manuever, and where he'll end up without making my plan too obvious (because then he'll just just wait it out ). daisharin is flexible enough to cover alooot of space when you want but you have to "know" how your foe is going to deal with it. l play a pretty prediction-based litchi in general, so l may not have the best answers but l hoped they helped a bit

happy bday luf and now, to sleep

congrats tari and gli

its definitely not cse. l really hope this isn't true. l don't mind playing low-tier, but you know... rach dosen't deserve a low-tier title ._. especially not after cs.

seriously?this tier list seems fishy. maybe it's due to rach not really having expert players like ren, hima, kaqn etc (matsu -is- good but... eh....), but really, that low? this was where she was in cs! and rachel is much more dangerous then the likes of of some other chars -_-

i'm surprised, there has been a boon in discoveries over the course of a day and a half, lol l've been experimenting with b lobelia, apparently you can link one from a low lv2 j.2c. for example 6a ch dash 5b j.c 2d dj.2c(lv2) land delay b lobelia 5a 5b sj j.b j.c dj.b dj.c j.214c. 1 wind, 3k. it's definitely going in my list of bnb's! it -may- be char specific, but l doubt it. lt works on bang and litchi, but l got tired of reloading the screen so ldk who else it works on, i'll find out sometime later today. but the fact that it works on a non-3c 236b char like litch... it should be universal.

yay "investigations". right there the first thing that comes to mind is the previous incident... l can see myself getting a 360 very soon.

with a little practice you can use the blockstun from (2d) jb to visually confirm whether to fuzzy or not. it's a pretty small window, but once you land the blocked j.b, you high/low options from it are safe. basically the scenario would go like this (blockstring) 5b 2d j.b delay... at this point take a second to confirm. your options are: - dj j.b j.a j.b j.c... - land 2b - (if hit) land 5b some people can react to j.b, so it's best not to just autopilot it into your strategy, remember you can always 5b 2d jump barrier to bait dp's.

definitely cool. l want to try it with 1 wind like pikdum said. l wonder if this ender will work after the second frog; ...3c 236a (frog hits) 6c j.c 2d dj j.c land j.c dj.c j.214c bbl. lm going to try it

l like that he's not afraid to use wind for mobility sometimes.

cant help but feel theres a flowchart to rachel mirrors, but as usual the details slip my mind.

cant wait for more j.2c action

you can't have a rod out after you use bbl. also, midscreen frog seems a little eh. frog is always nice to have out, but pumpkin is definitely the safer option midscreen. l suppose either combo would work depending on what you want for oki. i'm going to try out setting george first. l probably won't find anything new with it though. right now, the advantage l see from setting george first is if you have 0 wind to do j2c level 3 first, and you need to stay on the ground a second longer.

can you get pumpkin+frog oki in the first option? if so, it's worth learning.

j.2c has to hit the opponent at a certain height, when they're around mu's shoulder/head height. this would be the very top of 6a. if the foe is too low j5d 2b will not work. a very simple solution is to add 5b before 6a and everything works smoothly. you could also do 6a j.2c land 2b 6a j.2c 5d 2b or the 6a 6b 6a j.2c bit you mentioned, if the proration is good. but if you don't want to add extra hits you should try to hit the opponent with 6a as early as possible while they're falling.

happy bday gli

didnt see it yet. are there sweets in the vid...?

l play mu on pad. it's incredibly easy. now l realize that it may not be the same for everyone, but her combos are relatively easy and dont require multiple inputs (besides from like directional button + abcd). another subjective comment: the 'hard' combos with mu is in fact really easy. if you can do: -anything into sod/3c oki midscreen -5c confirms into 6c (from crouching, ch, jumping foes) and -...6a j2c j5d 2b relaunch in the corner then you have a good foundation and everything else should fall into place. l think the hardest thing to learn with mu are her basics (like hitconfirming everything) and her tools which you could learn without a stick.

it was good kirb. certainly better than that other one... lol hmm, wonder if NY is doing this too. l should get back into the scene.

its not over until its over when you fight noel. leave her with a pixel, and you just might end up salty by the end of the match. sometimes l wonder if noel's feel like they didn't really deserve the win... probably not though. regardless, it was a good grand finals if not tense. ishii seems pretty setup oriented, trying to get the pumpkin+frog out or at least one of them mid-combo. l like it, because that's less time trying to get a summon out, and the summon is in a good position to (help him) stop rolls, dp's etc. l wish the good rachels showed up more often in vids. sigh
