^This. This mentality is why I love the FGC and gaming in general. Also, everybody knows that February 14th is just National Waifu Day, so be glad that French Bread gave us a big pick-your-waifu card for what everyone else supposes is "Valentine's Day"

I've been watching some match videos lately and... I'm sorry to say, but anyone who wants to play Hazama and is too stubborn to learn the TK loop... they're just cheating themselves out of a fuck-ton of free meter. I mean just look at this shit. LOOK AT IT. He goes from 29 to 97 heat in just one corner combo off a CH 2C > 623D hit-confirm. He probably could have made it to 100 if the 3C connected and maybe did 236D or 214D~A after it. No other combo in Hazama's arsenal even comes close to that amount of heat gain. The damage off of that was pretty stupid too for being meterless. It's one thing to go into an easier hitconfirm because of reaction time or spacing, but it's a different thing entirely if you have an ideal situation and plenty of time to react. P.S. I know this really isn't directed at most of you Hazbros since most of you already know the TK loop and logically wouldn't argue against how good it actually is. However, I think this is a good final message to those still with lingering disbelief or doubts. So yeah. Always do it when you have the chance. P.P.S. the minimum amount of reps (with proper 214D~B ender) in the corner even off a bad starter like 2A or 6A > 236236B is three.

Sey-kun~ I have a request again... A while back, I heard that it was possible to do relaunch on certain characters in Extend (like Jin, Rachel, Tager, etc.). I was wondering if you could test out the following combo for me and see if it works: 214D~C(Lvl 2) > (dash) 6C > dash 5C > 2C > 6D~A > 4D~A > j.7D~A > 623D > j.6D~C or D (whichever works) > 2C > j.C x 5 > 5C > hjc > j.C x 5 > j.214B If it doesn't work like that, try doing 5C > Jayoku and then that combo.

Here's an online video of him playing Hazama in CS2. You be the judge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKy2jMqNyb8 Also, I have a feeling that there might be a more optimal midscreen non-TK combo that is probably character specific (hint: it has to do with CS2-style relaunch). Let me ask one of the Hazbros to test it out in Extend for me.

I answered this very same question in response to some guy in the Hazama forums posting wrong non-TK optimal combos. How fortuitous.

I would rather serve bruschetta fresh, so if you really want it, I'd have to bake it right before whatever event it's for. Or at least there should be a microwave nearby.

At your request Why yes, yes I can. However, I would rather save that for a big event. But it's totally your guys' call.

I'm pretty sure you can do 5 reps or at least 4 reps + 5C > 2C > 214D~B just off of raw blue Zaneiga.

I bought it from the convenient store right next to UFO. The tin of Morton's cost $1.39 as opposed to the matching salt and pepper shakers that cost $1.99. I figured I would need it in order to gargle salt water. I watched the stream archive and realized that it didn't help at all. I'm just going to talk quieter next time or something.

That's fine, sometimes you can't fit in one TK rep or the other or even both. However, the combo you posted is not the correct non-TK midscreen Zaneiga combo. Allow me to cure your misguidedness. Here are the two prominent non-TK combos: 1) 214D~C > (dash) 6C > dash 2C > j.C x 5 > land then forward jump immediately > j.C x 5 > 5C > hjc > j.C x 5 > j.214B 2) 214D~C > (dash) 6C > dash 5C or 2C > j.C x 5 > 2C > 4D~D > j.B > j.C x 2 > j.C x 5 > j.214B

...What? There are so many things wrong with this. First of all, please be consistent with letter capitalization. Second, when you say "jc" are you referring to a jump cancel or the attack "j.C"? I assume it's the latter, but still, the notation is a bit iffy. Also, who in their right mind only does j.C four times in the air as opposed to going for the regular five times? Or are you saying that we should attempt four reps of j.C x 5 in a row? In any case, I can't agree with any of this at all. Here's the real midscreen Zaneiga combo for those who were wondering (it's on the wiki): 214D~C > (dash) 6C > dash 5C > 2C > tk j.214B > dash 5C > j.C x 5 > 2C > tk j.214B > dash 5C > j.C x 5 > 5C > 214D~B > 3C It carries to the corner if you're in the exact middle of the screen. If you're closer to either corner, then either do one or two more TK loops after the second TK Hirentotsu if the corner is in front of you, or do 6D~A > 4D~A > 623D after 5C > 2C if the corner is behind you.

Which tier list are you referring to? That weird English-Russian one is based off jp bbs (iirc) and is inaccurate. In any case, it's probably because all of the characters that were not as good before got better (Rachel, Valk, Lambda, Bang, Ragna, Plat, Tager). And no, these characters are not CS2 Makoto/Noel stupid.

His mobility is better despite his chains attack level being decreased. Some gatlings/cancels feel faster than they used to (specifically mid-air stuff like chain-in>j.B>j.C>land>whatever). Midscreen throws are also not garbage without meter this time around. Corner carry is a part of his game now more than ever. I do believe we have a madman in our midst. Please, read or re-read the combo section of the wiki or any of Sey's posts in this thread and perhaps that might remedy you of such insane talk.

The second one I can agree with, but the I was thinking the father would look a little more like this guy.

Cookies are done, 32 in all. Will update with pics later. EDIT: Pics are here and here. Look forward to it, everybody

Lol, I heard Nakamura Yuuichi say this about Hazama's gloves on Bururaji. It's my favorite slang term now.

Oh hey, this thread exists, too. Since y'all are close enough, I thought you might want to see this: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?13340-%2A%2A-Arcade-UFO-s-BlazBlue-Revolution-Qualifier%21-%28-2-12-2012-%29&p=1254739#post1254739 Do it if you want to play BB. Or not if you just want to stay in-state.

Hey, you guys, hey... this: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?13340-%2A%2A-Arcade-UFO-s-BlazBlue-Revolution-Qualifier%21-%28-2-12-2012-%29&p=1254739#post1254739 We need Texas people to show up so go go go.

So... this is a thread that exists. Since you are Texas people, I thought you all might be interested in this: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?13340-%2A%2A-Arcade-UFO-s-BlazBlue-Revolution-Qualifier%21-%28-2-12-2012-%29&p=1254739#post1254739 So yeah, kid_viper, Jan, whoever you've got, go ahead and assemble so we can actually have competition show up.

We should probably post this in all the other Texas threads... yeah.

Namco needs to get on this.

I count four ahoge in the game so far. Seth gets an extra point for having an ahoge where someone spunked in his hair.

This will never die.
