Last night's event was pretty good, thanks for coming everyone. We'll start doing events more regularly again, this summer was pretty busy so far.

Hi, we're hosting tonight 6:30pm to 10:30pm. Please don't show up before 6:30pm. We're also hosting Friday, 6:30pm to whatever. I've also started a thread to plan out rides, hotels and what not for Canada Cup, since it's in Toronto this year : http://www.sankishin.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=323 post there if you're interested.

Yeah I think it's a great idea too, finally a good excuse to make a line account and figure out how that thing works.

I don't know if they will lend equipment or not. IIRC they don't, but I feel like most people attending don't actually have next gen consoles or compatible equipment, so maybe it'll be different considering that (I'm doubtful, but you never know). If anyone else is wondering, the tentative schedule is here : http://www.otakuthon.com/2015res/pdf/OT2015-HoraireSchedule_tentative.pdf The information on the first post is somewhat still up to date, but just check this thread regularly to know what events and meetups are happening. It's kinda irregular...

Yeah we'll host tomorrow, but we'll close at 9:45. Though I might not be there.

Yeah, sat night theres xrd on ps4. Bb is sunday afternoon on xbone. Dfc is sat afternoon on ps3. Fri morning is persona. Cant remember the others but theres also sfxt, tekken 6, lol, marvel, ultra, etc. Also ppl that come to meetups, please dont forget to throw away your garbage. Theres always some mcdonalds cups and other stuff...

Next week we're hosting Monday! Unsure about Wednesday. Most likely not Friday, since it's Otakuthon.

Joe, come to mtl next weekend with mort :o

Hosting Wednesday and Friday this week, 6:30pm.

hm ok, not much interest for saturday I'll cancel that then. Luckily because I just learned some relatives will be visiting so it's better if I spend more time with them anyway :> I do feel like hosting on an extra day next week though, so I'll let you guys know when I figure out my schedule.

Hi, we're hosting Friday this week. 6:30pm to whatever. I'm also thinking about hosting saturday as well since I have nothing else planned atm. Would people be interested in that? Post evo hunger is kinda real, feel like we're falling behind more than ever :o

I should be there saturday night and most of sunday. wasn't planning on going this year because it's the same weekend as heavymontreal, but with mort coming and ~jibun wo~ gonna have to do both.

Pretty hype for the new move as well. If it repositions steins kind of like venom's balls it could be really nice. I hope they keep stein cancel into normals, one of the fun things they added in the current version.

Hi, in an effort to get some last minute practice in for Evo we'll be hosting Monday and Tuesday, 6pm to 11pm.

yo, we meetup at my place. We only moved to this place last week, so I don't know how loud we can get, nor how late, before we bother neighbours, which is why I prefer not posting my address on a public board yet heh, I'll send a pm. We also meet up at SmashLoft sometimes for tournaments.

sry, yeah been busy with work. We'll host at our place Friday, 6pm to whatever. pm/tweet/text me for the address if you don't have it. you can pass it on to them if you want.

Confirming I'll be hosting at the new apartment tomorrow, 6:30 to whatever. Send me a pm/tweet/text if you need the address, this should give me a head count. I also would ask you guys to keep sound levels reasonable, I have no idea how the isolation is and the landlady sounded rather strict about it, so I'd like to avoid any problems. Edit : bring setups plz

In case people are wondering if anything is happening this week, we're kind of busy with the move. I'm not sure if we'll be all set up and ready to host for Friday, so I'll post here Thursday night if anything is happening. 50/50 at this point I'd say. The new place is right next to Lionel-Groux metro, so it should be faster for most people to get to (sorry wes).

Didn't really think about it, but yeah sure, let's have a meetup at our place tonight. Since tomorrow is a holiday anyway. 6h30 pm to whatever. We'll also have a meetup Friday at our place as usual, however this one will be a bit special since it'll be the last one we have at our current apartment. Also 6h30 pm to whatever.

If anyone is down for casuals tonight come talk in the chat, might host. Results for last night's event : Xrd : http://mtlfgc.challonge.com/mtlad7ggxrd 1. Brice 2. Pedro 3. Icekin 4. JimmyBones 5.

If not we'll see you at Canada Cup I guess?

just to remind everyone, tonight the meetup isn't at our place, we're having a tournament at Smashloft, it'll be open 5pm to midnight-ish, and tournaments start around 7pm. edit : pls bring consoles and sticks/controllers. (also maybe a laptop if people want to play melty)

If you understand that 2b, j.2c, jc, and 5c fishing are your common neutral tools, the next step is thinking about matchups. Instead of thinking "which tools should I use", you should be thinking "what tools are my opponents likely to use, and which tools to I have to take advantage of those". If they're being too passive, place a stein or two to try to force them into trying something, and if they're still too passive, use 236d and get in. The same applies to being cornered. As long as you know what you should aim to instant block, when you should barrier, when you should or shouldn't jump, and how to mix it all in together with a DP or a mash to beat whatever the opponent is doing unpredictably, you should be good. Some characters can completely prevent you from trying anything on wakeup, against those ones just get up and block and try to think of what to do after that. Against other characters, trying something every now and then, or at least just varying your wakeup timing, is a good idea. A rule of thumb you could use on defence if you're not sure what to do is -barrier until they're too far to keep pressuring or whiff a move, at which point you're likely at Mu's 5c range and then it's up to you to decide what to do (usually either 5c or wait for an airdash over and anti air, or dash under if they double jump. that kind of thing) -if they reset pressure on you before that, there was probably a gap, so keep your eyes open and remember what they did so you can escape next time. If you didn't understand how to escape though, and this happens, try to save the match so you can watch it later and try to find where the hole is. Sometimes in the stress of a match a blockstring feels longer than it actually was, or a move seems faster than it is. You can also try to record a dummy doing whatever they did in training mode to try various options against it if you can't think of anything, or want to find the most reliable answers. If that doesn't work you can also ask about specific things here too. Some of the matchup threads have writeups if you want some examples, I'll get around to doing them all eventually...

Guys if you want a good opportunity to see some Mu footage, it could be an idea to vote for Serizawa and H.H for the upcoming godsgarden tournament in Japan. You can vote up to 5 times a day. Let's try and get a Mu player in there : http://godsgarden.jp/godsgarden10/bb_vote/ Edit: Serizawa : せりざわ but he's using this name instead “ユーロ空軍のエース”アスカ H.H is just H.H Abarenja is also in the list but don't be fooled and vote for him he's a traitor who switched to Nu
