^You might wanna YRC that 'french' part. I can bet you everything in this world that driving enjoyment is not "Fahrvergnügen" in french, but probably in german since VW is from germany.

Well getting your badge on a thursday is what I usually do to not get screwed on friday. Usually there's 2 lines friday just before it opens. The line to get to the actual con aka panels, gaming room, activities and whatever and another line (it's been on a wall on one side of the registration room (the big concrete one) for the past two? years now) that leads directly to the dealer's room. I try to get there early but not too much since i'm not THAT eager to run inside. Just want to have enough space to power walk everywhere and spot the good stuff.

I am raising this thread from it's slumber (ok it's just 5 days...) So who's going to Otakuthon this weekend? I'll be there rather early on friday so I can get a good first place on the dealer's room line (ok I know staff have 30 minutes before everyone else in the room but whatev... yo Air you got me right? *top player dance*) All I'm looking for is a doujin/pr0n seller. Everythign else will probably not be on my to-buy list. Also crossing my fingers so that the gaming room stop it's tendancy to get shittier every year.

Do we really need a speculation thread? At this point in time, there's only one loketest completed, pretty much everything factual has been laid out earlier in a single post, and we still don't know anything pertaining to a second loketest as far as I know. If there's a second loketest already announced, I'll gladly open a thread for 2.0 Tager, but right now I don't see any use other than shoveling clouds. Of course, if there's a second loketest coming and I didn't see the news, welp, call me out on it. As for the discussion at hand : Terumi isn't broken. At all. They made him so that his godlike design of producing meter like a monster is greatly toned down by what he can do with it. His counter assault is his 6A, the move that whiffs on pretty much everyone crouching point blank (except Tager and that's it?) and whiffs on most standing that are farther than a character's length. That means his Counter Assault will whiff most of the time or get blocked if ever... He only has one meterless overhead, namely his j.2D? which can't combo easily off of it, is not safe, and whiffs on everyone by crossing them up (except Tager AGAIN) when it's tk'd point blank. Not that great. To offset that, he has a command grab that is rather slow and easy to react to, so still not extremely powerful. And as mentionned before, RC'ing stuff into dmg doesn't really exist outside of 6C. He is viable as a character, yes. Broken, no. Guard libra was a terrible mechanic, namely because characters that were of the 'rush down' type were at a direct advantage over defensive or 'turtling' or blocking ones, Hakumen and Tager for instance. Guard Primers were ok as a concept, but the primer breaking moves were not implemented with equalness to every characters, so it was meh at best. Crush Trigger is basically having only one primer at all times, but there's only one primer breaking move for everyone (or so) that costs 25 meter to do it. Everyone has the same startup ish, everyone can block it with barrier, the only real difference is how much of a reward do you get on guard break or actual hit, and how much more safe it is. I'm not that fond of guard breaks in FGs, but Crush Trigger is, I think, the better one in the Blazblue franchise right now. I'm all for having discussions about the game system and characters though. As long as we have polite, clear argumentation and that the debate is evolving, let's have fun.

I do play against a Relius that has a pretty good understanding of the matchup. You can always grab his spin dodge as it's completely vulnerable to throws, no need to hold it to get the recovery. He is only strike/projectile invincible I think. Even though his range is not as great as Litchi's, his 5B and doll 6D are still faster and reach as far as our 5C, making it very hard to counter poke his approaches. If you try to jump over to make it whiff, it'll recover in time and you will either have to block an anti-air from his part, namely his 2C? and the doll 4D (the one where she crosses her arms in an upward thin drill attack that wallbounds in the corner. When he gets 50 meter, what a Relius can do to make Tager's life terrible, is to put himself in the corner and wait. The moment you are too close to him, he'll start his doll rush super and you'll have to block it. The matchup is pretty bad looking in my eyes. Block 5 to 6 times more than he has to, block everything, and make your pressure open him up at all cost. Even if the doll dies, he is still a very good character to defend himself against Tager. At least our 5A is good enough to poke the doll from nearly every angle. Block or jump if you hit super armor, and enjoy tagging the doll the rest of the time to approach a couple steps. protip : don't roll, his 'saw from the ground' special will always catch you and give him free dmg. I'm throwing lots of infos without even trying to organize them, feel free to flame me if anything is absurdly wrong. More interactions is better in those matchup threads!

Avant d'aller au Foonzo, on a commencé à meetup dans un local loué par les gars de mtlsf qu'ils utilisaient pour faire des gatherings pi des tournois de street fighter. Le Foonzo a ouvert et au début c'était pas mal cool pour les fight games, vu que ça venait de partir. Le HQ est mort par manque d'intérêt un peu après. Fast forward à aujourd'hui, on essaye de repartir le concept de HQ pour avoir une place assez grande pour recevoir quelques dizaines de personnes sans que ça soit chez quelqu'un ou qu'on ait pas de place où meetup. Le fait d'avoir un HQ permet d'avoir des gens de moins de 18 ans aussi. Je fais ça en bref très fort et je coupe les coins super ronds.

I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure that if you can get the input buffer to register a 360 motion during the 2B, do 5A (still retaining the 360 motion), then 360C to finish a 720, the game would give you 360A in the first place. You'd either get a 2B > 360A, or a 2B > 5A > 360C (which would either do a 5C/6C/j.C depending on how you input your 360) I'll try it after work today to make sure.

not saying which exit could be a real problem lol since you end up on 2 different streets. When you exit the metro train itself you go toward the stairs and not the other way that is not stairs. Take that exit and you want to go up on Van Horne like Dhaos said to the second cup and away from the IGA.

I should be home around 5:15PM if anyone wants to come early and press buttons/drink.

Essaye pas Kazu, tu meurs d'envie de me péter ma gueule à des fight games pi me talk shit après. Also I want to go to Summer Jam. who's also hype? Brett should be going since he's going to be in New York around that time and I want to hang out with him again. It might be one of the very first UNIEL major for all I care. Might also be the day1 p4u2 tournament but w/e. I'll be in holidays during that time so it would be perfect for me schedule wise. (for once) I'm hungry to place better at Blazblue than what I did at Evo. I wanna go to Rita's this time.

I'm not maining the waifus, but you can be assured that more than half my brain is thinking about stuffing my face into waifu pants at any single moment of my life.

I don't wanna put effort in UNIEL, and it seems Wald is pretty good and a grappler, so why not. I don't even know the button layout still... Kappa As for LaRonde, if you plan on doing it in August, put it after the 6 or something, since I'll be in finals at the beginning of August. Kazu t'es fucking mieux de te pointer vendredi. J'aurais même pas appuyé sur un bouton du jeu, fak no excuse pi vient me péter ma gueule.

Welp. I checked in online, as the peer pessure was too strong. (and that we can actually choose our seat for free, but a luggage is 25$ It's usually the other way around people... w/e) See you at the airport.

b-but... but Dogura yo ;_;

I guess that's where I come in and ask politely to continue on with your life everyone. I don't wanna have to enforce authority, but I find it clear that the matter has been resolved (with a bit of friction though). As for next time, try and not leap on the first occasion a confused player that rants a bit about a situation he doesn't know all the info, to start and assault him with everything you have. Most of us are at fault here, me included (as I didn't check the board the past few days). Raziul said he would go work on it, added a bit of response afterwards, and that should've ended the matter. Yes, it's hard not having the last word in an argument, I know. Although posting without any aggressivity in a post can be pretty tricky at times, I perceived at least different levels of aggressivity (at least once), from everyone in this conversation.

I got reseeded guys. The fated matchup dream is ded. I'm now in Dogura's pool. RIP RIP RIP. I definitely got this though #PogChamp

Neutral is something you can play now. She can't really black hole Tager for free, she lost a lot of damage on everything, j.C is not overhead, regular fireball is 4 hits instead of 6, you can punish a lot of random things and blockstrings too. It's not a free matchup for us of course, but it's definitely doable. Still on the side of the harder matchups though. Saying that Tager is neutered is kinda :| for me, as I see Tager as a rather good character. Granted, I cannot do 3k on my 5A, so what? It's only since not too long ago that 5A = damage (I might be wrong, but 5A never felt like a damaging starter for as long as I can remember). Sure it was a ton of meter during CSEX but that was it. And since pretty much every 5A in the game got gimped like ours, it's not that big of a nerf overall. There's only 2 things that really bothers me for Tager (and one of them has been there since the very beginning) : 1. A real head invul anti air. 2. Something in the game mechanics that would let me out of insane airtight pressure, granted that I can Barrier IB everything in the string and that it doesn't push enough (I'm looking at you Rachel...) those are my 2 crutches that I would really like, but I can live with everything else. I really don't see why is it that it's not worth struggling with him anymore, as I still see him as a better version than 70% of the Tagers we had since CT...

I wouldn't say that Tager is garbage in 1.1 I feel like backdash is a tool that's been specialised in dealing with really particular things and not a crutch to just mash and hope for the best. Also, I'm positive in saying that only very select matchups are very lopsided against us, but even then, if the other player is not seriously on point, winning is very feasible. Playing Tager is a test of self control and endurance, testing if you can hold back from pressing buttons and be patient. Don't give up on the game waiting for your archetype to be a god, 'cuz that won't happen in the near future for sure.

I'll be at foonzo around 16:45 until max 8pm today

Carl too stronk. orz

He doesn't mind for now. Can you keep them safe for the time being?

Alright to the people who would like to come over to my place for games and whatnot : I am with Pedro and Digital Watches right now. We are going to eat first, then come back. St1ckBuG, Lord Knight, Zidane and XAQshinor have left already. So don't get here before like 2pm. woop woop.

I'm calling you out on how your Location is still Toronto/Markham.

Toronto pls.

Je suis un bully. J'ai du fun à bully Kazuhiro. Je suis un méchant D: Shoutouts to everyone yesterday, it was fun to play games~ I need to give more salt to kirbster though. I'm very hype to see new blood playing with us :D
