If you guess right that they're doing TRM, though, the resulting purple throw IS techable on reaction.

Noel playing like Petra would make me cry. I played an annoying chara and Petra was STILL annoying as fuck. Like seriously, why did that dodge have 60f of strike invul

For DP, try 6323 instead of 623. BB input reader is lenient like that. For watching match vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoMgFbswe04

http://portforward.com/ Definite. The rain stage also causes problems sometimes, iirc

I like how, if I ever switch to Ragna in a series of matches, EVERYONE'S first reaction is to bait DP on every wakeup. It's so lulzy.

I'm not happy Litchi can't corner carry easily, but I'm still in the phase where I'm estatic I actually get oki now

You prolly still need to respect gatlings

Pulled the Litchi matches out of the newer posts in the video thread. acho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HBRhchgIvw Massive amounts of Litchi, though I don't recognize/know either of the player names. I'll timestamp this out later, though one of the comments has it all listed out. Like 2/3rds of this vid is Litchi acho ranbat 5/10/2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke9Y_M7zzlU&t=9m45s vs. Tachikawa 3 on 3 5/11/2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtSRyxbQ48E vs. (tsucchi) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PB6A8X-t44&t=7m34s vs (hane) BB Alpha station 3 on 3 4/29/2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUR4_kRuawI&t=6m35s vs. (kikuchiyo) BBrevo B block http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwxqL3ZNilc vs. (says mio) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kce0PGN2rFA&t=8m24s vs. (says tsuchiya) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBzgBO2e-vo&t=3m22s vs. (I think this is shounen) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBzgBO2e-vo&t=6m25s vs. (shounen) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBzgBO2e-vo&t=8m32s vs. (shounen) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LW7saBOdxo&t=8m20s vs. (puromete) Gulliver 5/12/2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvG6Wx5nbVI&t=1m48s vs.

Jin is more about running pressure until the other person fucks up, at least as far as I could ever tell. Maybe try using TRM more?

That's why good okizeme is delicious. Reduces the amount of RPS you play. And it's why I'm glad I'm finally playing Litchi.

If you don't like RPS, I don't understand how you like fgs so much Almost everything is RPS

I was playing a friend at the time. Not trying to be a dodging bastard. It just happened that way ;_; Same for your invite, Toan

+1 is a lot more mashable than you think, especially if the opponent has to dash in after resetting. +1 is really good point blank, but not so hot at a distance. Whiff canceling 5C for C-Akiha in MB leaves me at +1 to reset pressure, for example, but the subsequent dash-in or IAD are both really mashable. Ragna 2C isn't that different. What makes Ragna 2C (and whiff cancelling that 5C in MB) scary compared to Dead Spike is that you can gatling after it, so you're better conditioned to not expect pressure resets. What makes Dead Spike scary compared to those is that you /don't/ hit buttons after Dead Spike unless you like getting CH'd.

You'd need to be pretty far out to make it hit late in the move: http://www.dustloop.com/guides/bbcse/hitbox/ragna/214D.html Even then, the amount of time it'd take to dash back in would probably negate a lot of the frame advantage. Hitting with it late in the move is for meaty deadspike. Plus frame moves are the foundation of resetting pressure. The point of a plus-frame move is that you can end your string there and reset your pressure relatively safely, since the plus-frames force a certain amount of respect. That's why dead spike is such a good move; it lets Ragna continue pressure if his string is blocked. There is a certain amount of risk, yes, since it has slow startup -- but the risk is paid off when Ragna gets back in your face. Jin 6D is the same way. Plus frames also let you escape safely if your pressure is blocked. For example, if Haz's string doesn't work, he can do Venom Sword, and use the +1 to safely escape back to neutral, where he does damn well for himself. EDIT: And that doesn't even count the importantance of plus-frames created by revolver action, though it's essentially a different subject

The thing is, some moves /need/ to be plus no matter what. Dead Spike is hard to IB, sure, but 32 frames of startup to be neutral on block when someone does IB it? That's just dumb. The point of a move like Dead Spike is that you can guess the reset and get out, not IB and be able to mash buttons because they probably need to dash in.

Basically, any move that's +1/+2/+3 and easy to IB. (Ragna 2C, for example) I also just like strong pressure, and IB nerf makes pressure stronger.

Main thing I want is netcode that isn't delay-based. Give us that rollcaster/ggpo ripoff, so I can play with 1 frame delay to anyone on the EC! It'd be sex. The other thing -- and I feel like this is really questionable, but I want it done -- I want IB reduced to -2, but no move frame advantages changed (i.e., I don't want the +3 moves changed to +2, like the +5 moves were changed to +3 after the IB nerf). IB is too good right now. It shuts down a lot of plus-frame moves for no reason, and there aren't enough practical moves that're still plus even after being IB'd. Alternatively, you could adjust everyone's frame advantages, but I'd rather see the IB nerf.

GGs to Toan. I keep fucking forgetting to save replays ;_; Need to do that shit.

GGs to mashy I need so much Bang exp. I have almost no damned idea what to do when I'm playing against Bang. Or Hazama, for that matter.

She has favorable near-corner options, that's it And if you keep running into itsuu guardpoint, that's your fault

rofl EX Litchi doesn't have that shit you need to hit with a really favorable starter (j.2D, itsuu) to get good corner carry in EX

The short version of why Litchi isn't great in EX is that it's hard as fuck to get people to the corner in EX, and Litchi is only really good in the corner. Her neutral isn't bad by any means, but Litchi is about corner game, and she doesn't get to play corner game nearly enough in this version.

236236C is a reversal first these days, only 236236D is a combo ender

Yours. ...Actually, XDest is the third. I forgot about this guy I played in casuals at Civil War

Did not expect random XDest I got raped so hard ;_; Only the second time I'd played Taokaka since I switched to Litchi. My body was not ready. There is that, yeah. >_>
