It was also noted if you land a close sweep, you can go for meaty 2a. This will either hit them out of roll (being meaty) or you will recover in time to punish the roll ideally with either CH 5A > 2B or CH 5AA 236AB (with meter). Not sure if you have enough time to 5B in that situation

Sunfish is hosting

This x1000. Not sure how you're setting up 5DD to lose to Narukami DP (I'm not saying you should always beat it). Are you doing... - some move(s) > 5D then 5DD meaty and losing to DP? - 5D > poke > 5DD and losing to DP? - 5DD > jump and losing to DP (being air unblockable) obviously if he blocks 5DD, he can't DP so....

I would imagine that is actually a safe variant. This is a short BD loop (2 BDs) that starts from a grounded BD (as opposed to 2C > charge BD which is aerial). Its easier to 5AA > 2C after a grounded BD vs. 5A > 2C since your opponent's height is lower than what is expected for a "standard" loop. Well I still need to get my game to actually try this out either way

I will half-second this. What is the timing on C gear (pretty sure it can't be D gear or I'm just really bad) > charge 5b? I've seen this done midscreen and in corner so...

Pretty much this. 5B is one of the silliest tools she has...it works as a super ghetto antiair with no reward, its slow so you're probably going to get hit out of it in neutral, reward is low unless you're in red axe or CH (where its super high). Add on to what you read from the above: Labrys is an easy enough character combo-wise that you can start learning some of the gimmicky damage combos early on (C super > OMB > 214B > D super, 100 meter one more cancel combos, etc etc). Fundamental links/chains would be like CH B+D > dash 5A, j.214A/B > D super, 22X chain > charge 5b, charge 2b, charge B+D. Secondary/useful links would be charge 5b > sweep, charge 5b > 236B, 2C > dash 5a or s.j > j.B. Go nuts and have fun

So...is anything happenin Saturday 3-8?

Nothing like a good meetup to turn a meh day into a great day! Shoutouts to all the people I played. Shoutouts to meeting fiery souls on the battlefield. Shoutouts to slowly getting better in Persona Shoutouts to all the true personas, except that Sunfish guy (and bread doing better than me at the game) Shoutouts to eating flames when I riot stomp (hafro's gdlk DPs) Shoutouts to NINJAs in my anime game Shoutouts to them ninja resets, 14 j.ks in a combo, and taking 1 round from pfhor... Shoutouts to playing A.B.A (moroha) with Chipp being like playing vs Mitsuru except every hit is a fatal counter in the corner And lastly, Shoutouts to pfhor for making this day great!!! Pfhor: Why do I get hit by that? (as he gets hit by grand viper) http://i.imgur.com/DbzGk4i.png Hope to see you all sometime later...considering I'm betting most people are going to TBF next week, and karaoke with bread the following

Shoutouts and GGs Day 1: Small 5(6) people meetup! Shoutouts to bread mashing out Soul Calibur (during CPU vs matches) Shoutouts to SCV being pretty fun Shoutouts to changing styles midmatch...(that's whack) Shoutouts to random supers working in 3d games Shoutouts to more teaching going on than playing on that second setup GGs to being bad at games GGs to persona being as dumb as ever, what's the point GGs to not being able to play the one person I actually wanted to play... GGs to games not being fun, why do I even bother playing GGs to a certain somebody bringing my confidence axe gauge to gray and not being able to build it up Yeah. That's right. BLehhhhhh

Some other random stuff: (Assuming you get the wall bounce) Low air-air j.BB around single jump height [j.bb wallbounce] > land > 66 > {j.bb > land > 66 } jb > jb > jc > j.214a/b the middle section works if you have yellow/red axe iirc, but even with yellow/red axe the last part won't work if you're too high Against grounded opponent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tue8oCXW8KQ&list=UUhY-oigNFnXC88DZ1fJYUGw&feature=player_detailpage#t=173s

Walp GGs to car issues et al GGs to being absurdly bad at Mitsuru Shoutouts to gradually getting better at GG Shoutouts to Platinum for a being a bich ass n*...hard to punish Shoutouts to actually doing so-so against Axl and friends Shoutouts to Yosuke being lulzy and committing to dashes Shoutouts to BB for being the only game I feel comfortable air throwing... Good stuff everyone, look forward to SCV next week

Thanks! Not very much applicable stuff, but I definitely want to see if I can use that 5D 2AB D 5 5 2B bridge for some of my combos...

Shoutouts and ggs to everyone. Shoutouts to the only thing I have to say about P4U being salt-talk. Maybe when I find something practical...and just stop being so... Shoutouts to being so fundamentally bad in games. Step by step I guess... Shoutouts to learning mixups/neutral/tech but not how to play the game (dat tunnel visionnnn) Shoutouts to having fun in GG as always Shoutouts to doing FRCs 25% of the time despite not practicing Shoutouts to Keyblaz's Chipp (Wesker special forever) Shoutouts to Eric sensei, grand viper will live on!!! Shoutouts to Jet for hosting Shoutouts to cross-consulting with Mightfo

Shoutouts to cookie for being on time so he didn't have to buy everyone a round of cokes Oh and shoutouts to bringing GG

If you want to be technical (and sometimes, there are things you just don't want to be technical about), yomi is just a read. A read is just a guess. Now this guess becomes better the more information you put into it (ie. picking up on opponent's habits, putting them in situations where the options are limited, reacting to certain audio/visual cues), but there is some probability that you guess WRONG. I honestly don't think anybody is incapable of yomi, just some people pick up on the factors that increase their chances faster than others.

Late shoutouts and GGs GGs to the OGs that bodied me in tournament...I need to play more GGs to dark roads with fog AND mist Shoutouts to cops that don't pull me over for being retarded. God bless America Shoutouts to life and death by grand viper Shoutouts to poking with greed sever Shoutouts doing riot stomp FRC looking at mightfo, looking back and seeing grand viper Shoutouts to not being able to FRC gun flame until late into the night Shoutouts to the only bursts being grand viper punish or gold burst and being COMPLETELY OK WITH THIS Shoutouts to GG being fun even when losing, really don't get this vibe from any other game I play tbh

Bandit Bringer it on

Shoutouts to seeing randomnaoto again Shoutouts to dem Christmas presents Shoutouts to akward silences Shoutouts to my solt in the axl matchup and Edge's tyrant rave solt Shoutouts to Labry's bandit bringer and riot stomp being so gdlk Shoutouts to cookies...that are not so good and...

There is a fine line between "fun because I get to use new tools and experiment with new options" and "sucks because I have to learn a whole new character who is really the same character but the developers are gay" I totally agree with the last part though. Fighting game communities really thrive when there is local competition and everyone learns/improves

GGs to everyone I played except Edge jk, we're cool Shoutouts to 5 setups being full most of the time Shoutouts to I-nos everywhere Shoutouts to grandviper, but ggs to it not clean hitting even if you do all 8 hits depending on the height/starter Shoutouts to greed sever in Chaos Code Shoutouts to obligatory really bad games Shoutouts to Wakka Shoutouts to FF8 being a good game with bad characters...and controversial systems Shoutouts to D Blitzballs, Blitzball setups, and fking hair overheads...

I'll bring P4A if you want to play that survival horror game...

Welcome. Mightfo was mentioning you at the meetup today heh. We're pretty good with rides, Sunfish, cookie, and sometimes me can provide depending on where you live. Shoutouts to pad (Transient's pad woes for life) Shoutouts to Labrys being a bad character, rip Transient Shoutouts to cookie for being able to block my fradulent mixup with Labrys Shoutouts to Mightfo shaking his head every time he comes over to watch me/us play guilty gear Shoutouts to fraudulent GG play Shoutouts to Salt Sever/Green saber/rainbow slash Shoutouts to Metal for being such a bro Shoutouts and ggs to Harakiri_Tiger for bodying me completely free Shoutouts to being forever a blazblue player but blazblue not being my game... Good games all who I played

React react react! All of her mixups are telegraphed as hell. Block low and react to her extremely slow overheads. She will never take a round with 5C, unless you are playing hella bad (~1k-1.5k damage per 5C mixup = you guessing wrong 8-10 times...) You can buffer 214D during her awakening gear super and take the round free (unless you magically let her get into awakening and gain back to 50% health or something ridiculous). You don't have to respect j.B and can just DP it. So if she's in the air, block high and wait for air dash/double jump and either anti-air or DP when she gets in range. It's not like she can delay her descent with j.C/j.D/j.214A. Maybe j.214B but blocking high and punishing beats that free too. What a good matchup.

If you're height is right, 214B is fine. I've just never dropped j.B > 214A at pretty much any height. And I guess it would and wouldn't be prorated and more techable time/hitstun. Again this is like a "safe" combo, not "optimal". You would only do it if you're uncertain anyways.

Just a thought, it feels like j.C prorates in an interesting way, so if you're ever in doubt maybe try 2B > j.B > 214A > 236236D (unless you've used too many j.B's already which from the sounds of this discussion is highly unlikely)
