Huge Analysis incoming: It's a solid team. Ex Kyo is an ok anchor and even though Ex Kyo can't really use meter like regular kyo can his HD combo is very easy to execute and does decent damage so if tourny nerves are in play he is your go to guy to make sure you don't drop your hd combo but at full health chances are your opponent will survive ex kyo hd combo. So take that into consideration if you put him as anchor. Because generally when it comes down to both players' last character you want to wrap it up in one HD combo, cause if you don't the opponent probably will with his/her Shen, Yuri, etc. If you do feel like going the extra mile execution wise Mr. Karate is a better anchor than Ex-Kyo but his HD combos are a bit harder and his hit confirm from light hits (like lp and lk) into HD mode is a bit tighter. That said, Mr. Karate is better at bringing comebacks because he can combo into his super both midscreen and in the corner without using drive. and the combos usually dish out 400 damage to 450. This is great because he can save the drive for the opponent's last character. and even if you opt to use a drive he builds meter really easily. Personally I would set-up your team order as: Ex-Kyo/Athena/Mr.K There are some matchups that nest kyo struggles with like billy kane, king, ralf, and clark which Mr. Karate is better suited for so take that into consideration. Basically if you are struggling with Ex-Kyo against certain characters switch to Mr. Karate on point and Ex-Kyo in the back. I guarantee you Mr. K has all you need to deal with the entire cast. Athena in the middle is a good spot. You don't want to rely on her to make any comebacks and her hd combos are on the weak side let alone the fact that hit confirming into her HD mode is pretty difficult. She is kind of there to wear out the opponent's team slowly. With her you dont want to risk going for big damage. Just play it safe and keep the opponent at a distance all while building meter for Mr. K or Ex Kyo. If you are just getting butt raped in the zoning area it's not a bad idea to put athena on point. She is kind of built to be anti-zoning/zoning character. But Mr. K gets in on zoning chars for fray with his counter special anyways so idk when you would do this. All in all solid team. You have two great characters and one that's ass. but eh it evens out.

if i have a car to drive on tuesday i will. when are you out of school on tues?

Lol I do like my manly characters.

Lol Akihiko is far from being terrible. Almost every japanese tournie vid i've seen on youtube has some akihiko player in top 4. He has one of the fastest jabs in the game and has hella good range. plus he can mix it up on his jump in by connecting two jumping attacks before he lands or connecting only one jumping attack and then land and go for a low. His ducking move is still creating new tech. along with the gravity pull his persona has and the electric enchantment that makes his attacks pull you closer and paralyzes your mobility. He has all the tools necessary to go in and doesn't really struggle against zoners. He does struggle against kanji though cause he is risking a lot more with kanji's damage. Mitsuru from mid range rapes akihiko in footsies. but those are really the only true problems i see him having. Oh yeah with 150 meter his instant kill is guaranteed no matter where you are on the screen. he uses 50 heat to do the super where there is lightning all over the screen. this puts the electric status on the opponent which increases the pull when you activate the instant kill. here is a vid showcasing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8h8bkJpNg&t=2m24s And also, I never played Bang cause he was good, he was terrible in ct, and i don't for any other game i play. It's who i like and ultimately I do best with who I like versus who is best.

On P4:U, Akihiko is sooo boss. Definitely my main.

I don't believe it...I thought Canada Dry was up there with Mountain Dew, Vitamin Water, and Smart Water in terms of Whitest drinks known to man.

It was Canada Dry. I made sure to pick the whitest drink I could think of. Volpe is just a really dark caucasian. @Milln: I wouldn't take it very seriously. I think we all say stupid stuff when we are salty. Also, if he gets annoyed by you telling him stuff just dont say anything. Some people like to learn by themselves.

R.I.P. gamecube...Nintendo fans last hope.

Both Star Ocean and Tales series are good games but Evolution Worlds is the best RPG of all time.

LOLZ! I'm sure your League of Faggots skillz would have been the end of me.

Tad i dont think ill have enough time to prepare for SFXT. Im going to just be focusing on KOF and BB.

Midnight I used the dragonballs to revive myself in the brackets and aquired control of e-sports power from my training in the afterlife. Meaning I shouldn't have fought Zeno in the bracket but we thought we did so we fought and I lost and we were both in the losers bracket. but when we realized wee weren't supposed to fight each other milln said it doesn't count. so my actual match in losers was against chandler. I beat him...then I beat volpe then it's me and star in grand finals. Spoilers: He uses Noel all through the first set. I beat him first game. I beat him second game. He beats me third game. he beats me fourth game. I beat him fifth game. Second set: He decides to pick Ragna...dis nigga...I'm like I've seen the most bullshit things you can do with Ragna thanks to players like Chandler...do you think you can be as much of a scrub as Chandler? I shook my head. So we fight. He actually took a round off me. but i wrapped things up quick. then he picks Mu and i beat him. then he beats me. he beats me again. then at character select i thought he would pick Noel but nope he picked Mu. And I won. whooped dat azz. POWER OF E-SPORTS YEAH!!!!!!1111!11!!!! (brought to you by Kellog's Ltd.)

Sometimes it's painful to relive old memories. Reminds you just how much you miss them. But I'll take a night over nothing. It was the shit when it ran ruroni kenshin. Animes that eventually had to be put on adult swim.

Midnight I'll pay for your entry fee and venue. (since i'll be taking it anyway).

Actually Milln can I come over on Fri and ride with you to the tournament sat?

Like I said...

I agree. K' is a beautiful woman. @Keith: I'm just trying to expand on how the lack of vertical flight limits you in some areas v.s. previous AC games. @Milln: lol last AC i played was AC2 and i was just a kid wanting to shoot things. When I boost dash and attack with my laser blade Imma yell "KYOOOOOJJJIII!!!!!" as I strike down my enemy lol.

About the AC itself: The new AC feels slower in terms of mobility and pace of battle plus you can't fly anymore. closest thing is a jump that lets you glide back down to the ground. You can kind of fly if you jump and then use your boost. Main way of getting around quick is using boost, like previous AC games, and also climbing buildings lol. you climb up top buildings and use the vantage point to jump off and boost to get yourself above the battlefield but because you can't fly you'll glide back down to the ground. I kind of like this because you can't stay above everyone and rain bullets all day and to stay up there you have to use boost so it requires a cost of some kind. Multiplayer: Gameplay wise, it's more team oriented which is pretty badass and the game makes you feel like you are in an episode of Gundam more than the previous ones for me anyways. The game focuses more on tactics and being able to work together as a team rather than who has the bigger gun. Clan System: Probably one of the coolest features, it's like gamebattles but better. You get to make a clan with team name, emblem, etc. and contest various locations on a map against other teams on xbox live. Once you win a territory you keep it but anyone, within your skill range, can come in and contest it. Your goal is to try to take over as many territories as you can.

I wish the VA announcers were in character. The Japanese Jin one sounds really homo so i guess he was.

Yeah I'll ride with Tad if he's ok with it.

Ok so I can do the loop without dashes. If the loop is hitting but I can't get dashes in is it because I have to delay j.214B even more so that they are higher up after 2C and i recover in time so i can dash? or am i just not inputting dash early enough?

my car isn't in a condition for it to make long trips. $60 bucks aint bad for a round trip. It would probably cost more driving my car.

I forgot about Tad's situation. I guess I'll be riding the bus. Chandler, I'd be willing to pitch in for a hotel room.

Tad can I ride with you to power up? I'll pitch in for gas.

Oh shit when is power up again i gotta make sure to request off those days.
