Dances w Ninjas

Just a reminder that D-Town Beatdown is tomorrow at VGA.

George is planning on having a Gunpla meetup on May 16. You should totally get in on that.

I talked to some of them about it, but it doesn't look good because of finals. Two of us will most likely be there, but we have one more interested if he can find a partner.

We still haven't started Strike Witches and Symphogear.

Chris, what was that converter you mentioned? I've been meaning to look into that.

Yeah, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's worth saving meter for, but if you have the resources and land a throw, you might as well.

Here's that set I was talking about, Chris: http://youtu.be/jOKmpvV4Tjo The setup that Ryan mentioned is at 47:02. He doesn't finish the combo, though.

Reminder for those of you not on facebook: Bar Fights this Saturday. https://www.facebook.com/events/827326050612980/

Didn't see this before: Saturday is Jet's birthday/gunpla/movie party, but the people who are passing on that might have a meetup. Otherwise, there's a Friday meetup for games.

What Chris wanted to know about Sho specifically was the difference between their rekka specials. Minazuki (The guy with the persona): -3 parts: Forward Slash > Rising Slash > Falling Slash (214A/B>4A/B>4A/B) -Has to start with Forward Slash Sho: -Also a 3-part "rekka" -Can start at any part (Rising Slash > Falling Slash, or use Falling Slash by itself to end air combos) The other differences come from being able to cancel their rekkas with specials/DP/supers. The only thing Minazuki uses that for is the DP>Super extension and for dumbass resets with the teleport slash. Sho uses it to cancel his rekkas into his command dashes (ground version goes forward, and the air version goes down-forward), which have hella recovery unless he uses the SB versions or cancels their recovery into the rekka specials. I'm pretty sure he can only use the dash once per string, though, so he can't slash>dash>slash>dash x N. Nevermind, he can.

SHOUT OUTS TO BRANDI Also, Ryan being "like a kid with cancer who's good at Persona." Also, other things.

I would think that any suit with a move that doesn't cause vernier can amekyan with S-drive.

Oh, that makes sense. I didn't realize there were suits that can't minihop. Shows how much I minihop.

Pkrstdnt, do you need any setups? I can bring one, and I'm sure somebody else can if you mention it.

It should also be mentioned that it doesn't work with suits that can't hold their jump, like the G Gundam suits.
