Yo Axis gimme your lunch money.

Yeah, gonna room with Kai for a bit. Mostly against my will, but hey, I had plans to possibly come to MI anyway.

Same, I wouldn't have the dosh to waste on booze.

Who'd take my invitation to go out and drink when/if* I show up in MI next month?

I am now a neighbor of sorts. To Grendy. I might pop up randomly in the future, and possibly move in with a friend in MI.

Moving to KY temporarily/forever. It's been good knowing most of you.

Half an hour away when I move in a few weeks.

Cheese don't be a smartass; OH WAIT shoutouts to making it back alive shoutouts to Jones Soda shoutouts to the shenanigans had shoutouts to everyone for the matches shoutouts to not playing BB shoutouts to not having Jeremy take my money shoutouts to PB n Banana milkshakes shoutouts to not feeling like DEATH after eating Denny's shotuouts to Bohemian Rhapsody sing-alongs

Super last minute, but cheese don't pick me up. I'll be arriving with the newblood at some point during the event, hopefully.

Fuck yes.

It's been good knowing you guys.

Fundamentals™. (to shorten what Elochai posted) Learning how your attacks work; how fast they are, how big the hitboxes are, how long they stay out, how much recovery they have, if you can get punished after something is blocked or not, and obviously what they do when you get a hit (counter hits included). The other big thing that I see the vast majority of players have trouble with is momentum. Don't rush in like a loon, but don't back down if you don't have a reason to. If you have trouble with someone using a dp/reversal/inferno divider either on their wakeup or during one of your blockstrings, then try to find out safer ways to approach/crack them open by doing something that would make their reversal whiff or something that would allow you to block in time (ie. safejumps after a knockdown). I say focus on learning how to hit someone more and get hit less, even if you don't know (or just can't do) the combos you need to do to get the most damage out of your hits. TL;DR Knowledge is power! Pretty much what Elochai said. Gotta know what everything does before you can fight/use it. I'm not really fond of saying "know everything ever", but as far as high-to-tourney-level play goes that's pretty much it.

\o/ Dustloop is finally alive. Back to not posting. I might go, but probably won't.
