Right, sorry guys. Dash under, not cross under.

Honestly, who actually still does 4B>j.5C>j.2C>dj.5C>dj.2C>dj.214D? I mean, unless you're being lazy or online. (or if your execution's just too shit like mine to do the crossunder 2DD one)

Well, curiously enough, I never actually went out looking for any for Nu/Lambda. I dunno, I think I'd actually feel kinda bad about it if I did.

Plus, how else am I supposed to see her open those legs? Totally worth it imo

I still play a ton. I can't say many of them actually follow that pattern anymore though. Not even FF ones lol Speaking of off-the-wall, weird RPG's that will probably be facepalmingly terrible though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ6sG3YacAo But yeah, I'll buy a PSP1k from whoever. As long as it works and comes with the charger, etc., just gimme a price, place, and about a week. I've been really needing one to play all of the garbage import-only games like the one I just linked, just for curiosity's sake.

USO BAKKARI NO KONO SEKAI DE

Not to mention, America's still pretty free against that second hit of 4B... lololol

Not to undermine the post that's like, right before this one... but I'd be totally up for buying a PSP1k >_>

Akiba's sort of weird to find things in these days. Like, 80% of his categories are dead ends or empty, and there isn't any really consistent way to actually tell that either.

Yeah, but I've never been able to find QD's or neutrik at Akiba's. Anyways, doing a quick test: Buying a JLF with a white balltop + 8 white sanwa OBSN-30's, converted into CAD via xe.com: Lizardlick: $50.7699 + 6.14290(USPS1st)/8.18328(USPS1stInsured)/22.3024(USPSPriority) vs. Akihabara: $49.6286 + 11.6294(SAL)/14.7896(AirMail)/23.0031(EMS) Breaking it down, LL and AK prices are nearly identical. For shipping however, the non-trackable, non-insured option is much cheaper (almost half as expensive). Additionally, you can add insurance to it, and it'll STILL be cheaper than SAL. Add on the fact that SAL is only usable with small packages, otherwise it gets bumped up to air mail, which becames almost 3x as expensive, or twice as much as insured 1st class. However, if you want insured, trackable, express shipping, both are roughly identical. In my experience though, Priority into Canada is not much faster than 1st class, so it's never worth it. I haven't used EMS yet, though I'll soon see so I can judge that lol. But most of the time I'm not in a rush for my parts, so I'll just take the insured LL shipping. Plus I can grab QD's and neutriks. However, AK does have his new line of PCB's now, which is why my latest order was actually from them (and since 1st class from LL scales with your package size, I actually just ordered neutrik etc. from him separately lol). But yeah, even out here in BC, LL's shipping is actually very affordable if it can wait. That's these days though. Thanks to the dollar in general getting kinda weak compared to the JPY these days, which really hurts AK. And this test reveals another thing: there's almost no difference between Playdium's limited time offer and just buying it straight up from LL xD LL will be slightly more expensive though probably, thanks to the extra $$$ paypal or your credit card will take for exchanging currency.

I actually think the HM PSP's a really sexy color, lol. And unlike say, the Project Diva 2 one (which is a great color too), there's no decals or anything I know of that permanently mark the system as being related to HM.

USPS First Class from Lizardlick isn't all that expensive anyways, tbh. Well, relatively speaking. It's very doable.

Honestly, it's all just impressions from a few bloggers who were there, and I don't think they're bothering to get too nitty and gritty (especially since they probably didn't have enough time to be very nitty gritty either). I think we'll just have to wait the next several weeks before we get any real info, especially considering we're still in loketests, so it's not like any changes are set in stone xD

I hope I'm good enough at all of these games that I can get up to 3rd place and throw my next match in all of them. I keep meaning to buy some salt but I always forget. Though I think at least one game should offer soy sauce rather than salt.

Remember Rachel's advice: make sure you hit neutral inbetween 9 and 6, so it's really 9>5>6. If you're still interested in using a dash or air dash just normally (not IAD), try to figure out how far you need to actually push the stick to engage it (as in, how far it actually needs to move before your character starts moving in that direction), and then double tap while only going that far (rather than hitting the gate/when your stick is forced to stop and can't go any further). Still, you should be able to just hit the gate and still dash properly... you might've just not been doing it fast enough.

That's what I meant by "unbind".

That's a preference thing. Some people just refuse to play with 8 button config, since they'll actually accidentally hit the extra buttons with their pinky or something. I do not think it is an issue for most people, however. And you can always unbind those buttons for extra caution, especially in BB where button settings is in the character select screen. But for the most part, I don't think it will be a huge issue unless you're very particular about things.

Uh, well, basically every character will be 1 primer after two bursts. *Tager* will be the only one with 2 primers left in the entire cast. So considering it's basically a cast wide nerf, the only people benefiting would be 4 primer chars and uh, tager maybe. I'm fairly sure the idea at this point is to just not burst twice in a round.... Or use gold bursts more.

That argument is pointless anyways, since it costs all of like $18 (or nothing, if you knew which ones you wanted in the first place) to just get buttons with less control, if too much control is somehow a bad thing. You literally just make one change and effectively that apparent pad benefit is irrelevant cause oh shit, a stick can do it too if you're so inclined. Cool thing about choice. I still don't get where this cabinet talk is relevant anywhere though. We're talking about sticks versus pad. The fact that pad is in the argument just blatantly underlines the fact we're talking about sticks to use with consoles. I don't think the person who builds a wooden cabinet and plugs in a pad is very common. The closest we get to wood anything are stick cases made out of wood, which I'm not sure has that much in common with your wooden cabinets, since those are generally designed to fit screw in Japanese parts anyways, if someone so desired them.

I just think the changes in the primer and guard crush mechanics are essentially a huge buff for her that just needed to be accounted for. And the only person that strat wouldn't work well against is... Tager. >_> I also never believed in that whole lower your expectations, never be disappointed idea lol. I think it only works if you're actually good at lying to yourself.

Not unless he also places in some tournaments or at least some sort of offline venue?

Don't worry about it. It's just everyone on DL is a reverse speculative-tier whore.

Every character gets a variation of ice car. Gogogogogo

Just get harder to engage buttons, lol. There's a reason why some people prefer Seimitsu to Sanwa; they think Sanwa's too easy to activate.

Just because I'm arguing the same side as qwerty doesn't mean I think his methodology is correct, kthx. I still seriously believe engage distances of sanwas are actually less that PS3 pad. So you're saying "Clearly PS3 pads have less engage distances, so it must be better" is hardly convincing. The fact doesn't at all have the consensus you say it does. So clearly the only way is to show empirical proof lol And I'm too lazy to do that lol
