sagacious

Not only did it live up to the history of past UMADs, it blew them away. The best tournament I've ever been to. Endless love for MTL!

hey uh so that was a pretty cool toryuken you guys just threw, thanks

Here's the bracket from thursday. Good shit Bruce! http://challonge.com/lka2wmyr also tony... thursday was the 14th, not the 15th. just saying

as i'm sure everyone can predict, my vote is for +R

neither of those changes would matter if heat knuckle non-extend dropped them at your feet. edit: You can tell there was a deliberate shift in Potemkin's gameplan for Xrd: he's now supposed to drive you to the wall and threaten huge damage off his wall-only combos. This is kind of a worse gameplan than +R's "touch them anywhere on screen for huge damage" but it's also more interesting so I'm glad they made the shift. The changes add up to a lot of reasons he has to work for damage now, none of which have to do with his Force Break: he can't knockdown off j.P anymore (that i know of - maybe CH j.P to j.H to ICPM?), he can't get a mixup off midscreen Heat Knuckle, he can't special cancel 2D and there's no vacuum on 2S, and he gave up his good standing overhead to gain a forward-moving 6K instead. However, he still does Real Soviet Damage in the corner, so making it easier to get the opponent into the corner would be all the buff he'd need. editedit: also removing i-no from the game would help

I've done some testing on this, and I think the most useful ones are Ramlethal (with sword setups) and Ky. Ky can either do a j.S or land and do 2D, and the j.S can easily combo into knockdown on crouching it. If that's rhythm-blockable then it's still damn hard, and it gives him a safe overhead where he didn't have one before. Faust can always combo off his bdyrc jK but he doesn't need it. Chipp can do j.P into f.S into pressure or just do j.D for knockdown which is nice. Venom can actually do j.P to 2D for a knockdown and ball setup. Potemkin can do bdyrc j.D which looks funny. thanks for writing about dragon install Sol, I didn't even think to test that lol here's my .txt: i wrote yes if i could combo into knockdown off it. yes: ky jS -> s 236k za jk -> 2d po jd fa jp, jk-> fs or dash5p2d or 2h 236s ra jk -> stuff ch jd, or jp -> fs stuff? ax jk -> 2d (rensengeki) ve jp -> 2d no: sin backdash is grounded sol jk hits standing but not crouching i-no backdash moves too far backwards mi jk and jp can connect but no combo afterwards; cry me a river, millia ma nothing connects, though you can jd into a falling attack for ok spacing... el nothing connects. tk BE yrc might give a more risky high/low/throw sl backdash is grounded be backdash is grounded le nothing connects

Today was awesome. Leaving a public reminder here that I owe Scott a coffee as his prize for the BB tournament.

Does anyone know when the stream is going to start?

shoutouts to montreal for the best damn tournament, as usual shoutouts to usa taking our money shoutouts to guilty gear for being the best game

Bruce is out of town for the next few days, so I think there's no gonq meetup this week.

I'm definitely going to umad

from what i gather from rumours it's kind of like +r's survival mode where you get upgrades as you progress through the playthrough? which is pretty fun

...but you play faust...

-better dragon install -upgraded i-no physics

mmmmmmm
