Oh it was invite only. There ya go bruddy. Hope the invite reached ya.

Get in my room bitch! Maybe you can entertain me! But I have to warn you....I'm...pretty terrible.

Alright gimme a sec. Ok, it's up, who's in still? My PSN is Rob_Indahood, and also the name of the room.

Anybody feel like going a round? I'm kind of fucking sick of being blown up online by Jins and Kokonoe's without any feedback.

I actually thought of this idea some time back, but we WOULD miss out on his hop specials.

Okay, well since nothing is being said so far, I think I'll just go ahead and kick it off. I'm rather unfamiliar with Izayoi, I think I'd actually like to give her a play sometime. And the guy I was fighting was undoubtedly a noob too, but he could actually get long combos started :/ I still don't have the reigns on Azrael yet, and he's not exactly easy to win with IMO so. Meh. Wanted to know what you guys have been experiencing so far. She's got projectiles to absorb but, I think she can rush in and punish. So I don't know if that's the right idea or not.

Turns out they were guarding a giant Litchi all along.

Ugh, forget it, I'll join in next weekend or something.

Yeah later tonight would be fine, I just gotta start writing up this paper. Maybe I'll get on around 9PM Central TIme. Looks like I had less time than I thought, might be later. Around 10 maybe.

Not to be the outsider, or little brother trying to tag along, but I need some good ol' fashion bros to play with from time to time who won't judge me or make fun of my weird nipples.

Man, I'm such a scrub I almost never RC. The only time I remember RCing is in CS when Haku couldn't do shit after his back throw. So, in some cases it was beneficial to go ahead and cancel your grab animation so that you could get some good damage off of it. But now, yeah I just Kishuu more often or not.

I guess that's the first part about him that caught me off guard. You can't mash anything. He can't even mash jab like majority of the cast can. You have to be so precise in everything that you do. Thanks for the support guys. Also can you guys tell me about using Valient/Hornet in an intelligent manner? I know it has super armor, but what is the limit on it? What's using it smartly and what situations is it just dumb to throw out there? Does it kind of work like SF's Focus Attacks?

I guess I just haven't touched up on most of the cast, to see what each one's weakness is. Because as Hakumen, or Azrael, I'm just getting my ass handed to me out there. Well less so with Hakumen. But, you know.

Well guys, I'm trying. But, wow, I can't get anything done with this guy. I just dont' know how to play him. I read up on what kind of strategy you have to do but, I just have no idea what to do against pressure. I can't get combos started or going. I just honestly have no idea what to do. Got majorly blown up by a Tsubaki, and it was horrid. I guess it should also be noted that I'm using a stick, and I've yet to have much real fighting experience using it against others.

Well, I've been losing to one scrub after another. It's getting bad guys. 7 matches 2 victories. It's crazy hard getting back in the game man. And on a stick no less... Lot of fucking Terumi's out there too...

28 is getting easier with time, sure. Although for some reason when it comes to anything akin to Rekka inputs, it messes with me. Azrael's Cobra Strike (46C) and during the loop I get anxious and don't always jump before moving the stick to a 2 or 3 position in anticipation for j.2C

Alright well that makes me feel better, I suppose. I basically have all but Hakumen's challenges done but 30. Goddamned if 28 and 29 weren't a struggle though. Although his combos require less airdashing it requires stricter timing, it seems. Well, I suppose that more concerns his loop. I haven't actually done any online matches, I'm still going through the story to unlock Kagura -_- Plus I'd be working with a scrubby, college, wireless connection so, y'know *fart*

Hey man, I was quite the pad/control stick warrior in my CT days. Honestly if it weren't for Christmas I STILL wouldn't have one. I live in the fucking mid-west, Saint Louis, MO to be specific. If I can get ONE person to play BB with me on equal terms it would be a godsend.

You more so use it as a zoning tool in place of j.C at times? I think I used to do that in CT, not that we had any other options at the time. Also Mac, I remember you saying that movement is easier for you on stick. I guess it's just my ineptitude and inexperience in using it, but I find myself thrust back into the days when I was trying to figure out how the fuck to do Hakumen's hop specials on the xbox. I was a noble pad (/control stick) warrior at the time, and became quite accostumed to it. It's not as if I'll give up using the stick, but IADs, hop specials....these things...they confound me.

I have to still beat the damn story mode to play around with him, (I should honestly just get to use him after you deal with Azrael in story mode but whatever >_>) but my question is: Is Kagura as complex of a character, and to that end, as hard to learn as I'm making him out to be? Obviously, if I haven't gotten to experience him outside of neanderthalic button mashing in story mode, he's going to feel very foreign to me. But, after reading much of what he's about, and a few charge moves, (I've been nary too keen at in the past) he seems like an odd bird with a steep learning curve given the different stances he can take, and what each of those stances chain into.

Well after an hour or so of frothing at the mouth, desperately trying to complete Hakumen's 29th combo. I've just about had it. Not only that, but I tried to just practice the basic form of his loop. Just doing something 5C > Kisshu/Enma > j.2C > 2C so far this link alone is a bitch and half. The time is so strict for both, I can't fucking do it. That and for some reason the stick is a real picky bastard, and doesn't like to let me get Shippu off. So instead of half circle back > 6 > C, it's registering as stopping around 2 or 1. I want to learn the stick, I really do, but golly gee goddamn I can't do this shit for some reason. Oh, one more thing, I seem to be failing miserably at doing 9 > 2C. It seems that any time the game asks me for rapid movement between opposite sides, it's just a punch in the gut. Because Azrael's TCL input is retarded. 236C > 46C > 6C. Why the 46C? Honestly, I'm just mad/salty right now, and it will subside, but, there you guys have it.

This fuckin' IAD input is killing me man. I know it's just an input to practice like the hop hotaru/tsubaki but, even still.

Oh wait, I got what you were saying the first time now, sorry. Using numbers kind of messes me up outside of the usual 214, 236, 623. Okay so Up-diagonal (or 9) then reset back to 5 and then going to the 6 position which should allow me to airdash pretty quick. Hm. I guess I just have to put it into some practice.

Okay so in that sense, a dash requires a 66 but the 5 covers the first "6"? So it's just going to be like a vertically reversed DP motion?
