I think it's silly for GG to impose a minimum venue revenue limit, I mean it's not like they use that space for anything else except to hold arcade machines that almost no one uses.

Damn lol this is going to be a small tourny.

Man I missed the last tourny you came to Eshi and I'm going to miss this one to. We need to get matches in somehow.

Bad news can't come for the tournament part this sat cause of work =/. I'll be there a little after six thirty. I requested off for sat but apparently several other people already did before me =(

I think actually using barrier against makoto is effective because of her short range some of her "longer" blockstrings will whiff from the barrier push. I was wondering what moves of hers is punishable on instant block because im having a hard time finding out which ones do even her drives seem safe on IB.

GAWD Makoto is so dumb. It's like as if CS1 Litchi and CS1 Bang made a baby. She gets a godly Jab from Bang, retarded damage and corner pressure from Litchi and stupid safe mixups from both.

I can't get the hang of Jin he's too slow and anyone without two or more airdashes lacks my kind of mobility =( *shoves him back into the closet* Well Billy, there is a community for it and AE isn't coming out for another month so at least in the meantime you have something to play.

Milln's right I have always been a closet Jin main, BUT IT'S NOW TIME TO GET OUT OF THE CLOSET AND FACE THE WORLD! @Astaroth Bang's mixups are actually safer now since perfect block got nerfed and he can cancel any of his moves into fire fist and his 6A is super fast and gatlings into from any move. As far as his drives go 2D is jump cancelable and his other drives can be canceled into a TK fire fist so even if you try to punish his drives you will just eat a fatal counter.

Somewhat similar to your reason. Even though Bang got balanced and I agree with his changes, I realized Bang's playstyle is very rock paper scissors like in terms of his mixups. I spend most of my time just guessing with Bang and it gets boring. I think Jin would make me have better fundamentals in fighters in general because he doesn't really have high low mixups so he relies on knowing your opponent's habits so he can stuff their moves with counterhits/frametraps/dps. Yes it requires some guessing but I feel like I spend more time thinking when I play Jin than when I play Bang.

why cuz she no broken now? =( Yeah, I'm thinking about switching to Jin. =)

D Nails I think serve its purpose better now. Because Hitstun is reduced you can pull out command grab even as soon as the nails hit because they will be out of hitstun/blockstun by the time the command grab comes out. They can now jump almost immediately after D nails so use 2A/5B to catch the prejump frames. The only downside I see to reduced hitstun is that Tager can 360/720 you if you try to apply pressure after D nails. When Tager blocks D nails you have to take more defensive measures than offensive ones which wastes D nails purpose.

Tager v. Bang matchup is very difficult now. =/

GGs snipingsnipe very nice pressure with Platinum and glad you are sticking to Rachel too.

Reason why Tager will always be shit tier: He only has gimmicks. @Star: Bang may have to use bumpers in certain matchups especially against characters with good mobility like Tao, Hazama, etc. to compete with them in that regards. FRKZ has kind of changed its role in every version of blazblue. In CT it was gimmicky You bursted and you couldn't even barrier so you couldn't block any attacks. Bang doesn't need it in CS1 because a)he already does great damage and b) in CS1 and CS2 they made bang be in counter hit state while he dashes in FRKZ and it has less invincibility frames compared to CT. In CS2 it is actually a viable part of his metagame because it gives him the ability to do huge damage midscreen and Bang Install combos in general net him greater damage. A corner Bang install combo that's very practical taken straight from his mission 10 nets him 7k damage and it builds 50 heat to do the distortion at the end.

basically he is the same as CS1 except his moves got a bit slower, his nails hardly do any damage, and he can only do CS1 damage in the corner. @Midnight: Bang's 2D/6D>noel all day. btw are you maining Noel?...Hazama?...maybe Jin? I know you don't like makoto so I mentioned the other "top" 3 characters. My favorite thing about the patch so far has to be the rounding down of guard primers when you burst. Man I've been guard crushing fools left and right.

Wow CS2 Bang is absolutely perfect reminds of the CT days god damn I love this.

Tad I was wondering when and where can we do the dual mod thing.

No I called Deadpool/Dante/Zero Team Fanboy Dante/Wesker/Sentinel is Team Grand Finals

I DON'T WANT A JIN COMBO VIDEO! I WANT TOURNY VIDEOS NOOWWW!!! *pouts*

GUYS OMFG YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO I JUST PLAYED AGAINST IN MVC3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................................................. ANOTHER WESKER DANTE SENTINEL TEAM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

WOOOOOOOOTTTTT CS1 IS OVER!!! Shoutouts!!!!!!! Milln - As always thanks for hosting these tournaments and props for stepping up to host blazblue for MWC, and thanks for letting me borrow MvC3 now I won't be free at the next tournament. LSS - Noel is free in CT, CS1, and soon to be CS2. I enjoyed our friendlies and I know how frustrating the Noel v. Bang matchup lol because in CT it was the exact opposite. P.S. your mom is crazy Jackie Chan - Good shit taking 2nd and beating the Saltmaster you deserved it BUT CS2 will be different...if anything it will be because I practiced. Astaroth - Being agressive in the first game worked out for me so I thought that the next two games it would be the right thing to do. I think our matches will be more epic in CS2 when our characters are more even. Midnight - THE FIRST TWO MATCHES WITH NOEL WAS JUST DATA SON!!! Look how free you were in the 3rd match..psh go back to top tier. Lol but on the real I'm glad we got to play friendlies. CS2 won't be so one sided so you better be ready...unless you pick makoto then I'll probably be free. SnipingSnipe & friends - I wish you guys would hang around longer so we could play friendlies. SnipingSnipe you have a pretty solid bang just work on when you burst and hit confirming other than that you have nice pickups and I hope to have some Bang dittos in CS2 where it won't be two combos and the other dude is dead. Billy - Hoes before Bros. eh? Well I HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT!! YOU BETTER BE AT THE NEXT TOURNAMENT ESPECIALLY CUZ YOUR CHAR IS TOP TIER NOW!! SO WE IS FREE! Doro - You aren't bad at MVC I was pleased to see what you can do. Thanks for bringing a setup. Pickle - Lol you are the essence of hype. You being there makes the event a lot more pleasant. I hope you come to the next one man AND NEXT TIME STICK AROUND FOR STEAK N SHAKE. EVERYONE - I will let this man speak for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yYS0ZZdsnA

Anyone know if there are any recent vids of Dora? I haven't seen any vids of him after the tsunami hit. I hope he didn't get swept up =(

I...wow...*sheds a manly tear* P.S. If you look close enough Tager's chest looks like a skull with googly eyes lol.

Astaroth and I are the manliest of men. Bang and Tager man I wish they teamed up in the storyline. Imagine a daifunka into Genosic Emerald Tager Buster Into Bang's Astral into Tager's Astral Into Epic naked loincloth stance by both with explosions and firecrackers going off in the background and an Akuma style Kanji letter that basically says "MAN" glowing in the background with generic cheesy anime lines flashing. HOLY SHIT!!!! Arc Sys is getting an email TONIGHT!!! Astaroth we gotta team up for a major and call ourselves Team Pecs and Specs. (specs a.k.a. spectacles a.k.a. tager's glasses)

I don't really like any of the characters announced so far, BUT I really like the art style and the gameplay.
