Well, since you're looking for Ragna combos just look up for one of the thousand combo-bible videos that have the -everything- posted for each combo being done. You can distinguish a normal jump from a super jump for Ragna 'cause the height differences are pretty noticeable. It's been forever since I was starting off in BB, but from what I remember... When it came to watching combo vids that I really liked I would try to remember the small parts of the combos. Like, just the "X goes into Y" stuff. The reason why I separated the combos in my head was so that they were easier to remember if I didn't have it right next to me, like how you can remember a series of numbers (like a phone number) better when it's like "0798-7097-12-134" instead of "0798709712134". When I went into training mode I just goofed around with the little parts of the combos I remembered. Eventually I figured out my own combos, developed decent execution, and was able to mimic other players' combos without needing to practice them much 'cause of how I practiced stuff before. Regrettably, going through without trial and error when it comes to text/notation-only combos is unavoidable. Most of the time people do not write the notations properly, like neglecting to put specifics in timing (as you mentioned) if it isn't straight-forward, or character-specific information and such. Being given a combo that only works on two-to-three characters without being told such is a bit of a problem if you go to practice on other characters without being able to notice whether or not if it is your error or not that causes the combo to drop. My general advice is to experiment around to see what works and what doesn't on your own after browsing youtube/nicovideo a bit. Understanding your character's move properties is pretty important, as well. For example: Starting with (ground)Gauntlet Hades usually leads to 'weak' damage and is fairly easy to combo off of, but doing (air)Gauntlet Hades right off the ground (tk'ing it/tiger kneeing-it) allows for more damaging combos at the cost of needing better timing and execution. Training Mode it up whenever you get bored always helped me, too. If you go into training with the "work/grinding things out" mindset, then you're probably going to hate doing it eventually (if you already don't), so try to at least make it mildly enjoyable. If you drop a link or whatever too many times, just switch onto practicing something else. TL;DR Watch videos. Remember the small, but important bits of a combo. Practice. Take it easy.

I just wasn't ready for that pose...

Denny's..?

Where's Guilty? Edit: Cheese, ride to casuals if it's this week?

I'd be glad to help. I missed you at NEC

I just remember something horrible with the name wing in it that they forced me to watch

if it's that horrible anime that we all agreed was terrible and laughed at it, that's what. It was enjoyable for that, though.

I would say yes, but I'm not doing -that- again.

Tetsu is probably the only person who makes BB look good (to me). You can't really blame me for liking his combo vids; they're the main and only reason why I even stuck with the game. I had terrible execution back then, but now that I have some exp I can get away with trying to do derp stuff on GG.

I'd give it until Tetsu manages to play around with the game a bit. I expect that he will provide Ragna players with another batch of candy. Can't waaaaaaiiiiiiiit.

You have to look at the starter, how much life you need to be able to get Dark Force/Overdrive to last that long, and how much damage you can get out of weaker hits and/or a shorter Overdrive time. Also, the general utility of the Overdrive should be taken into consideration outside of the "I can get retarded damage if I hit you now" factor (lolRagemode). For the Mu specific one, I'm not even really upset considering how stupid she is without it. I'm just salty that there's even more to the pain she gives me.

In my opinion, it's something that you really shouldn't avoid. It is pretty hard to avoid looking for a main if you care about your main's playstyle, and it is a very good way to learn the game and how everyone works... to some extent, at least.

That was so ugly I vomited.

NO, STOP IT. I'm not tsundere. >:I Oppai is nice, but BB does it wrong.

What about it? :P I remember hopping into a random room out of boredom, but I didn't feel like waiting for the match to finish. It featured Derpenhayn and some other character that I cannot remember. I was kind of bored with stomping randoms in GG, so I decided to see how well I did when I played BB. The sad thing is that I was more consistent than when I was playing it regularly.

Fuck lucid dreaming.

And I quote from John/Koun/Shadow (in reply to my commenting of missing talking to Proto and group): "So you want to rub your asshole with Proto's asshole?" "Some people in Michigan suffer from the self-dick-suckage syndrome, also known as the 'feeling yourself too much' effect."

Same.

Apparently. I wasn't the one who checked.

Vyers, check your oil or some shit.

Just 'cause you hate on something doesn't mean you're wrong. Mu was an eyesore in BB, which was saying something considering the game itself.

I was so happy when I heard GG was going to get attention again so I didn't have to play that sorry mess of a fighting game, BB.

Sure :'D I kind of want to mess around in some Skullgirls too, since the patch just hit.
