As a correction for Soujiro, Mugen is definitely her best damage option for realistic amounts of charge. Trolling is just a great secondary purpose. I'd also much rather do CH 5b>6c instead of ch 5b>3c personally. I'd like a bit more hitstun on her normals for sure though.

Doesn't really matter what you do if the spikes come out, you aren't going to get damage in. 2d covers any entry you try from the air so superjump at least lets you air dash or double jump after the block to gain ground. It's your best option to dodge spikes when you can't (or don't react fast enough to) hit her before they come out is mainly what I was saying.

Superjump is your best friend for getting in in this match. Also let's you dodge spikes and keep air dash/double jump open.

It's also nice to get people used to blocking the sword for later 22d reset tries. 22c is also the safest special you can realistically end a string with if you don't/can't want to jc or cc.

Me/blk_mage/crosell I think/1 or 2 others are in east bay.

How to win the fight: Rush down because Bang doesn't have very good AA/reversals and you want him to be on defense as much as possible. 2c is good against most of his air shit even if it trades since usually Bang is kind of high on his air approach. Bang will probably beat you air to air from what I've seen so watch out for that. Haven't had any trouble with his hitbox for combos so nothing special there. If you aren't actively mixing Bang up or making him block, try to be more midrange than close up because you outrange him with your better pokes. Try to start wolf mixup with a blocked 6b/5b into rush/2a to not get jabbed out of it. Match doesn't feel bad as long as you can block well. You both kill the other in about 3 combos but Valk has better abare with meter imo and a better mixup game once he actually gets Bang blocking wolf. I almost want to say get in the air if he jumps even if he may outpoke you so you don't get forced to block dnails.

Nah, then he'd start losing to Hazama.

He has no reversal before 50 meter so he has to eat mixup for free once you start on him. I don't really consider life/primers when I say defense usually. Mostly because I consider defensive options much more important.

Didn't think anyone matched Skye and Irsinn when it came to Kune-whine.

Chewbacci Yaoi obviously.

Rofl. He's like Ragna tier atm, hardly up there with bang and them. People online just can't IB so he feels hella safe with shoulder rush spam. You literally stop almost all his pressure with IB shoulder rush>mash 2a.

Better than that fucker asking about bridget being gay and wanting Daisuke to say moar deeps or whatever. Dude had like 80 shitty questions.

Is monkey/a3 MM happening or is A3 too poor atm.

And gonna end up in the same place as before she was nerfed? =P

Huh, everything he has looks exactly like it hits. The only thing that doesn't is wolf ground bite is low I think, but just block low against wolf on ground since he doesn't have an overhead on ground as wolf. The only confusing Human move might be his 236c rush with the uppercut which is overhead. Highs: Drop kick, uppercut rush Lows: low kick, 2 foot sweep, ground claw rush, Wolf 5a I think

Except if they nerf her retarded bullshit like her corner 6k+ combos and hella dumb minimum damage on BBS she might actually get some better normals. BBS's minimum damage was stupid, how anyone can think otherwise is mind boggling. An extra 1.6-3.2k no matter what is ridiculous, especially when she already gets like 5k+ meterless in the corner. It's the same reason Valk's supers and Daifunka need to get hit, too much minimum damage. Minimum damage on any super should really top out at like 600-800.

It looks like giing a good air unblockable normal to all characters might be what they have in mind since like every character in the first post has gotten one lol.

Pretty sure you can still barrier moves categorized as air 'unblockable' in BB so I don't think it is that big a deal. You'll just have to be more careful in the air which is fine. People might actually run out of barrier now if they don't watch out instead of just when they hit 1 primer lol. Mu will probably get a different set of combos, kind of like what they did with litchi.

Well, I wasn't there so I didn't know if you had any problems with BB using the stream or if it was brought up. Apologies if you thought I was trying to bring you directly into the conversation instead of just trying to get a better idea of what was up. And GG chars all being ridic is what balances the game so I wouldn't say that's a :|. =P

You use the opponent to stop yourself with the c>d stuff generally. You may not be pressing D fast enough or maybe too fast. (I think there is a bit of startup on the charge that you have to wait out. Kind of like doing wolf cancel into W j.b after H 236a.)

NCI has generally always just been the first weekend of the month as long as a venue was available and such.

Well, the next important point would be did he tell anyone holding the BB stream that?

I'll admit I wasn't there this NCI, but it doesn't sound like a ton of shit went wrong. BB got a ton of stream time, but I haven't heard anything about Magz/Tsubasa feeling ripped off or whatever because they helped get the BB stream going. Also, I know there was talk in the install thread about more stream time for gg/mb next NCI and it seemed everyone, BB peeps included, was cool with that. GG/mb did apparently end up getting its own stream going though it didn't seem very advertised, but realistically it should be 1 main stream with more time for each game anyway because that keeps everyone watching every game possibly and getting them interested perhaps in the other games at NCI. GG players bitching about BB isn't anything new rofl. Fuck, Buzzsaw shittalked the fucking creator of Blazblue to his face so good luck getting him to back off about that at some ranbat. I agree with getting this shit out there in person though. I also think a lot of the GG community is just super bitter because BB is the 'new thing' from ArcSys instead of a new GG that Arc was never planning on making anyway and that BB is generally easier/different from GG. This resentment seriously needs to get fucking let go and we just need to try and teach more people GG because really, if you can play BB decently or SF4 decently you can at least play American GG decently. I'm not gonna say GG isn't the best fighter because I love that shit to death, but BBCS is a fine game in its own right and Arc is usually pretty good at tightening shit up. Half the cast in GG is more broken than anything in BB anyway lol. So ya, more even streaming time, less bitter assholes preferably. Tao, you should probably get off Dacid and Chun's nuts because they seriously haven't done anything wrong that I can see unless Magz/Tsubasa (I think they were providing the stream help/stuff) come in here and say they felt used AND THEY LET THE BB GUYS KNOW AT NCI. Dacid is right that you can't fix or figure out problems if you don't know about them. Also, if you see me I'm down to help anyone learn the basics of GG, though I'm not that great lol. Rod is pretty good with character specific stuff since he plays half the cast anyway. I can give tips on Anji at least. (Like don't play Anji!)

If you're on the same level or a bit above, try using 7c instead.

Probably incorrect height before the 5c>j.b or not doing the 2 j.b fast enough. Using 5c, you want to be slightly below them normally.
