Okay, so smaller/fast, and you're best at zoning but dabble in rushdown. Some suggestions: Maori: The zoning character. Like, almost entirely. Above average in size. Bit on the slower side. Scharl: Good zoning/pressure with normals alone, unclashable chain attacks that also reflect projectiles, faster. Lilica: Moving to the other end of the spectrum, pretty fast character, less of a focus on zoning but able to get in and out quickly as the need arises. Konoha: She's a ninja. Definitely fast and definitely rushdown, but does have some projectiles and is among the smallest who are fast and dodgy. Not many characters in this game are truly bound to one playstyle. Petra: She has guns and can do everything. Also the prettiest. D:

Yeah, I got through that...that's the one with Boss Kamui, right? lol she's cheap, but pretty cool actually. Trying to fight her straight up is really hard, you might as well just do armored stuff/Excalibur and try to luck out. There's not really a safe way to deal with her in any sort of legit, non-gimmicky way hahaha... However, yes, nothing is harder than Parace.

I wanted to talk about these things. -- B&Bs aren't necessarily the same. Just a few minutes ago, I realized we can 421C after 2C. The C version of this move doesn't launch them very far, allowing Excalibur or an Arcana super. I think that's really going to be the 1-bar route of choice, whether for HC or supers. -- Mostly, yeah, but both of them have their merits. It really depends on the ranges. 2C is also in counterhit state if someone 4Ds it to punish. 5C is worse on block, but farther away, you would be using it since it can combo from all ranges into Gae Bulg. Better proration of course than 2C. For EFs and the like, though, definitely 2C. 5C at closer ranges combos into 63214A. -- This has already been covered, but the move is definitely interesting. Depending on where in a combo it is, it can be combo'd into, even the B version in EF, and can be EFC'd in some situations as well. -- It's definitely not gone. You can always get a free 5C after Excalibur CH, and it adds about 3k. Were another Excalibur possible, it'd probably do about that much damage anyway. Now, one thing that I swear I've been able to do but not replicate is 421C after Excalibur...and if that really works, you could super cancel that or homing after. Must either be incredibly situational or I'm remembering what happened wrong.

Yeah, it could really help us grow. Visibility, if nothing else. I saw your post on HC, but I'll just reply here. About Grand Divide, the way the clean hits work seems exactly the same. The only actual improvement is in how 236A itself has been buffed...it's faster and reaches -really- far. You could use it after hitting someone pretty far away with air to ground j.E, for instance, where you otherwise wouldn't be able to get anything except Gae Bulg. Once, I was able to somehow kara or otherwise cancel Grand Divide to where only part of the pink effect came up on the ground and the rest didn't animate - no idea how I did that or if it could be useful. Anyway, thanks for that trial info post. I was wondering about all that myself.

Eh, I had started a topic on HC a little while ago but it's cool to post here since it's more active. Pasting: Hi guys. I'm working on the wiki. How is everyone's Fiona coming along? I was very discouraged at first with the j.B nerf, but I'm coming around to the new version. The air neutral is no doubt worse, but some of the other categories are better. Notable improvements: j.E and especially j.C are stronger. j.C is pretty fast, hitbox is bigger, and nets all kinds of damage. 5C, it's fast. Combos to Gae Bulg from any range. Combos to 63214A closer. 5[C] is also fast. Like, I think fast enough to really try to hit people with, lol. 6B hitstun. Wow, EVEN MORE time to confirm into something. You can do 63214B as a combo. Air Karetov Roof is a thing for new combos into air Excalibur or Arcana supers. Not as notable improvements: Grand Divide improved in every way, but...yeah. 5B more active, slower. Air to ground j.C into 5B works, and 623A combos after that for some reason. EF that for the damages. Damage increase on 2B, but longer recovery. So, it's not so bleak...maybe? Also, Wind is definitely good, but I'm trying to find some other good things.

I'm currently borrowing this from a friend, but have played it for a while now on PC and would be able to get some games in. PSN: purifyweirdsoul. K-Bas, we're already friends I believe. Yo....Pignuttz? Man that takes me back...I remember playing you in Xbox Live Reload like over 10 years ago.

Pretty interesting, but Touka puzzles me as well. I really hope "rekkas are hard" is more something like it being hard to confirm off of cr.B. Chizuru right next to Karulau, wow...

I'd just as soon post that on SRK. I don't think it's unreasonable for us to have these impressions of him, and I think he would have to agree if he has a decent grasp of reality. I think I'd feel fine being confronted with anything I've said on here, it's not like I won't say things in person! Except Ed, can't level with that guy, but he seems out of commission lately anyway.

Yo I'm a soda-drinking deviant, who wants some chicken what's really good let's play fighters in a large group where some of us take breaks to smoke CIGARETTES. I'm okay with this guy so far. I don't know what the FPS scene is like, but I can imagine a scenario like the one he's painting for us. If you have a huuuge mass of scrubs and casual players, I imagine there are several that boast which have absolutely no accomplishments or skill, and the actually good players have to try harder to stand out when they need to be noticed or come across with intentions like this guy's (wanting to session with someone regularly). In the fighting game scene, we can easily look up and see who's really good because there's not so many of us, but there's a big FPS tournament like every weekend and so many of them don't leave their houses because the generation/mindset is so different. It's definitely odd with the craigslist thing. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy came with a heaping helping of Asperger's, then again, he could just be very active/desperate. Have to reserve judgment until I meet him, at which point I can poke fun at him on Dustloop without remorse etc.

WOAH, I think I'd be playing BB instead.

I don't know if I'll ever play Blaz again either. lol @ at replacing GG potentially forever? :|

demon's souls

Yeah. That pic of Whoopi looks basically just like Q, so Alex showed it to all of us on his cell phone while we were eating out and told us to av it. So we did.

Hey, are there any hotel gatherings or tournaments coming up? I might go, but i'm feeling lazy...

lol, there's so many people on srk posting things like WISH I COULD FIND GAMES IN RALEIGH OR WILMINGTON with like posts about gatherings a few above theirs. I guess Facebook is a decent system for keeping track of these things, but even then I don't want to have to make a Facebook event every time I/we host a regular session. It's hard for everyone to be in the loop for gatherings otherwise, since we have so many people posting about nothing all day. Maybe we need like an easily updated NC calendar online somewhere? And wow, the random nonsensical excuses people give for not going to something.

If you ever get a free night you can come over and play bro. At least whenever me/Doug get up, I'll make sure you're invited.

edit: Well, everybody go to Wilmington plz D: I'll be there. Maybe.

I'll try to figure out what's going on via Facebook.

Someone told me that Will had posted something about a gathering in Wilmington this weekend? Any developments on that? I can still have something at my place, just don't know what their plans are.

The Residence in Raleigh was booked up until February, excepting next weekend iirc when I know I'll be going to my parents'. I'm doing a hotel gathering the weekend after Marvel 3, probably, with a special guest host. Sort of. Those things can't really be done spur of the moment since so much equipment has to be organized and ready to go. It's funny how few people show up to my place on Saturdays. Everyone's all WE DON'T PLAAAAY still and always asking about gatherings, but the same 5-6 people come. not talking about any of you guys. I think. edit: As seen on SRK, Ian's is on so everybody go there.

I could do that. Third Saturday in a row at Brent's? Wow. We've actually had a couple of new people show up. Not so many of the random SRK/Facebook guys though. The whole thing won't be free, but it'll be a nice deal because I joined the hotel chain's club. Caesar's is part of it too, but the Rio's rates are a good deal cheaper.

Yo, everybody make enough money to go with me to Vegas this year. It's at the Rio so my room will probably be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee

SRK NC thread is so ass nowadays

Games at 4 tomorrow. We play until people want to leave. No hyperbole. auaughahhgahg

JON! what oh ummm yeah how about Friday
