  1. She's Fuka, the heroine of the 4th game. Details are sparse, but she was scheduled to go to Hell and turn into a Prinny to pay for her sins, but the management of Hell/Heaven got so corrupt, there were simply too many prinnies being made, they ran out of prinny skins/bodies to give people. So they decided to just give her a hat and call it a day.

  2. Stop using octo lololol Sorry, can't really give any real advice. Never touched an octo in my life.
  3. But Lambchops only has a mono-eye visor, so she doesn't have as much an advantage as people with two eyes and depth of field. Also explaining why Tager bodies Tsubaki. He has four eyes. Yeah, I wasn't saying it isn't useful or anything. But it only works well if you're sampling from ideal tournament data (tournaments featuring the best players of all characters), which can ostensibly happen with a huge community like Smash. No way in hell it'll work with Blazblue, and not in America, that's for sure lol
  4. I was alright after a few months. Naturally, varies depending on how much time you spend on it, lol And keep in mind it's not like body building where it just improves after you do enough reps. Whenever it doesn't work, try to figure out why. You are the variable factor, not the game (maybe the stick, but if it's new it shouldn't be near breaking down at all yet).
  5. Well, tiers are based on just ratio of good match ups to bad match ups, and how good or bad they are. Lambda places well tier wise because she just destroys certain characters, and generally good match ups against a great number of characters. But in tournament play she just isn't as viable despite tier placement, since she just features glaringly bad match ups (according to the chart) against the best (and as a result, most played) characters in the game. And there's simply no way to build a tier list from scratch, that could account for such realities when deciding tier placement, as far as I can figure it, without being probably misrepresentative (as in, you can't arbitrarily do things like, having a bad match up against Bang and Litchi do more damage to your placement than having a bad match up against Lambda, as in Arakune's case). Because the simple reality is, if SBO was not teams, and it still had like 80% of the entrants being Bang or Litchi, those like 2 Lambda players are basically doomed. While Arakune, for example, profits, because one of his bad match ups becomes very improbable so far as it coming up. While Lambda has a 100% chance of running into her worst match ups several times. But even with that reality, a tier list just can't be built to reflect it. That is "how" a tier list could fail to reflect reality. The only alternative method would be to build tier lists not from match up knowledge, but just from corrobating statistics, like the Scruber Smash Bros. community did at some point, if I recall properly. But that simply reflects tiers by assuming the performance of characters in tournaments reflect their actual strength. EDIT: As an addendum, the match-up based tier lists that worldjem7 builds aren't going to feel accurate competitively, when the master format of the game is to play double elimination. If fighting games tournaments were played round robin style or swiss tournament style, this format of matchup/tier charts would feel significantly more accurate, probably, assuming a half decent variety of characters being represented (ideally equal numbers of every character).
  6. I hope Platinum ends up top tier because she never got to troll online like Valkenhyn did.
  7. And here I was trying to buffer 9 in 6A consistently, lol.
  8. Hilton was full :x But I'm totally just like, 5 minutes away.
  9. I think doing IAD's on the stick are no problem. Just try to get used to not hitting the gate when doing one ASAP (as in, don't ride the gate). And just remember to return the stick to neutral before pushing the direction after the jump. Just being mindful a bit and some practice, and they're essentially flawless. I don't play on 360, but I heard you don't actually need a Gold account to play BBCS online? And yeeeeah, Halifax. I have no clue, maybe there's something in the Match Finder forum? Anyways, as much as I'm pro stick, I'm not going to say you MUST get one, as a person who won't be able to play much.
  10. >Favourites grows by like 20 videos
  11. BLIND TIER Officially better than cripple tier.
  12. I think post rebalance, it'd take at least 3, probably more like 6 months, before people really have a good enough idea about the characters to really make another one of these.
  13. Any idea how much lag BCVancouver to PNW adds? I want online that doesn't suck, but the WC Canada scene for BB seems pretty dead in the water lol At least on the Matchfinder forum.
  14. Man, I'm going to have to try some of this spicy chicken nuggets thing.
  15. I think we should run a side tournament for butter churning. EDIT: Oh boy, I found them. SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV: SUPER THUMB FIGHTERS ZANGIEF AND EL FUERTE (Collect All 4 Sets!) Confirmed for Akicon.
  16. Indeed, I hope she does have the squeak. Also, Bellevue. You coming to Akikon?
  17. Fairly sure it'll be tough to predict, since I'm sure we'll get a bunch of randumb entrants considering the tournament is free so long as you've paid for the con lol
  18. Well, I must admit, his design for that MML3 thing was god awful.
  19. Platina is clearly her magical girl handle.
  20. I certainly won't try to win that part xD You have all my sympathy, Bopo.
  21. If by DP you mean that thing that has like a 12 count refresh time, easy to punish, and has a really short range, sure xD And yeah, I probably would, Caek. I don't get to play enough good Tao's though. My match up exp is so low. That's why I need to play more offline.
  22. Nah man, it's my fault for choosing a character whose strategy against all of the strong characters is "IB better".
