Lol, you haven't been in this thread long if you don't think this always happens with qwerty/sj.

Sure lol. -Kind of obvious -Nothing really special here. Kind of obvious again though I wouldn't suggest trying to beat any magnet move already starting up with 5b. -Is actually good. 236d punishes whiffs very well if you out-footsie Tager. -Works ok but you have to be careful of the landing recovery, probably safer to just time a double jump. Wouldn't try to go under it with anything, to risky. -22d is great against Tager fatness in general, though you'd have to have great timing I think to land it on oki. -If you are in the air and he 720s just use j.c instead or a CH dive since you normally get in that situation by reading the 720 in the first place. I think you can input 236236d during 720 flash and beat it but you'd have to be super baller and it's hella risky. -Don't try to throw him, he will literally never block after gadget since sledge and 6a both beat dp. -No reason to ever get closer than 5b range against Tager, just gonna get yourself killed or magnetised (same thing). -Correct, your blockstrings mean a world of pain for you. -No, safest thing is 22c. 623d might be ok if you have another charge. But if he reads a raw 623d right you eat B buster or 720 so 4500-5500 instead of just an A buster at worst. -Should prolly just IAD back or backdash at the start of every match, don't think he can punish either and I don't think 3c will beat any of his popular starters except maaaaaaaybe 5c. -correct. Should actually figure out a good 5 charge combo off 22d raw on tager simply because it happens a decent amount.

That was some good shit stunedge. But Buppa is Buppa jeez lol.

Man, Yuumura's (I think that's the pink tager from chariot) blocking during that first curse was ridiculous. Also, is that MilliaBaki the same one from NSB?

That stream is hot, thanks jiyuna. Dora astral, tsujikawa wrecking, tsubaki's everywhere, and a crazy Tao doing hot mixups and AB2 combos.

Ya, generally 5bb is not a starter you want to install off. You generally want to look for throws/raw 22d/5c/CH 5c.

Was there anything happening with shadowbrooke as a backup venue or did that fall through?

His transformation did get slower. Likely to slow down some of his wolf cancel antics that were pretty rough to see off certain things. I wouldn't be to worried about his strength yet. It looks like his basics from CS1 are still there, but people are trying to learn him from scratch it seems.

I didn't mean that you had lost to him in GG, I meant that after the BB match you should do another in GG.

Would probably be down.

Grudge match in January! Should have a runback in GG after lol.

I'd suggest just getting 2s>kara 5s down in muscle memory since that's the one with the practical applications. Give it a very small delay after the 2s before the kara, otherwise the 3s comes out I've found. I find 5h>kara 5s hella easy once you know you need to delay the cancel quite a lot. Basically: 2s> very small delay before kara 5s> small-to-medium delay 5h> large delay, like when the fan is going to the ground after it hits.

Ya, 6c combos are really annoying midscreen. The 6c>5d>j.a can be pretty frustrating to land sometimes, especially if you hit with the tip of 6c. Also, the relaunch combo generally boils down to: delay cannons and use 7c don't delay cannons and use delayed 5c. I like the 7c option better personally because I feel it gives you more time to morph and hit the 5b.

Most of them have the basics, which character looked interesting?

Making an unsafe move safe is a great benefit, especially off 236x which gives her a good way in in exchange for 1 charge. Given that charge is apparently much easier to get in CS2 it shouldn't be a massive tradeoff. Other moves or delaying the 22d to catch a punish or go for a reset are gimmicks but just doing move>22d for +3 isn't imo.

Go. It will probably be slightly crowded but not very much. Plus I want to see your Rachel on stream! =D Not gonna make it myself since I just woke up cause I'm retarded and forgot to put am on my alarm lol.

It's nice because suddenly her regular specials become like HS fuujin in that you can make them semi-safe through mind-games depending on if we can cancel it very late or not.

Ughh, Anji v Slayer makes me want to quit GG sometimes. =(

Rod usually has stuff at his house in daly city. Think it is mostly GG though. Check the Honnou biweekly thread i events forum.

Gotta do some favors for days off bro. Not sure if I can make this, 2 hr drive one way is kinda rough.

A likely story.

Meh, even if serious this is nice buildup to evo when he can use that NY tourney money to finish after 8 WC scrubs. =P

Ugh, few too many pauses for me. If they took out the EX move pauses it'd be sweet. Lot of talking too but I can deal with that.

Could probably come on friday.
