Don't you live in Pennslyvania.

Out of curiousity, what system are you guys getting P4U on?

Alright. Thanks for the answers, guys.

It does work on standing opponents, yeah. 5C > 2C combos anywhere on the screen. Scratch, can you see if you can dash cancel midscreen and connect with 5B or 214C for me?

So I have a question, if anyone can answer it. Why isn't 2C used more in ground confirms near the corner? It launches, and you can combo into Raging Lion afterwards to add more damage. I don't imagine it's proration is bad either, since it's used in corner combos and stuff. Any reason? Or have people just not experimented with it yet?

OKAY, THIS IS GONNA SOUND WEIRD, BUT I'M TRYING TO WIN AN ARGUMENT, SO When do you guys usually shower?

It's okay Crossfire. I love you.

Holy shit...Dude, are you okay?!

You have a brain?! My life has lost all meaning.

Just provide a hearty palm against the face of one of your "hoes" and request she bring you the proper amount of currency required to provide a solution to your dilemma.

The only characters I'm scared of are Akihiko and Aigis.

DDDD: Fuck man. How much is it gonna cost to fix that?

I love you all too. ;___;

Hi guys. How's challenges?

It's not Michigan if we aren't making plans for it the hour before.

You can't anymore. 5C has 18 frames of blockstun. 2D starts up in 18 frames. IB makes 5C only have 15 frames of blockstun, making a 3 frame gap between the moves. All character's have jumps that start up in 4 frames or more. You can, however, IB 5C and use a low invul move, such as Noel's 2D and the like, to go over 2D. The only case I can think of is if they IB Barrier blocked you, pushing your 2D out of range, and that wouldn't catch them jumping. But if you're in range for 2D to connect, then they can't.

5B > 5C > 2D Babby's first block string. I was talking about a conditioned opponent. You're not supposed to use gimmicks on someone you haven't already conditioned with the basics. If you can beat them with the basics, why would you need gimmicks?

Most people wont' do things after 5B just because 5B can lead to any of Ragna's normals aside from 6C. If you block a 5B, you're expecting to block other stuff.

I LOVE EVERYOOOOOOONE

It works anytime you've got the opponent scared or hesitant to disrespect you (which you should be aiming to establish, because Ragna does not thrive in the ways of air-tight pressure and fast mix-up). There's also the fear of timing their punish wrong and just giving you a free fatal. Most people, knowing 2C is your fatal, will attempt to hit you after you've already recovered from the whiff (no risk of being fatal'd for them), at which point, any fast poke, 5A, 2A, or 5B, will beat them. That's why 2C whiff is legit. When in truth, you're -8 off 5C > 2C (w), and -10 off 5B > 2C (w). So of course, it's far from being the greatest thing ever. But like anything, it works when you use it correctly, and mix it up with all your other options. Funny enough, in both cases, they are actually stuck in block-stun during 2C's active frames, assuming it was canceled into ASAP, so there is no reason for them to fear being fataled. 5B gives 16 frames of block stun on normal, 5C gives 18. 2C starts up in 12 frames, has 3 active frames, meaning they can get hit on frames 13, 14 and 15. Which is silly, since they're stuck blocking during those. Of course, if you delay it, then they'll actually run the risk of being out of blockstun and running into a fatal, since they'll anticipate that whiff (but not the delay). Instant blocking 5B (13 frames of block stun) or 5C (now 15 frames of block stun) does the same thing, it puts them at more of a risk. Huh. The more you know.

Two Chrono casuals that Lumin is able to go to in a row? Holy fuck what is happening.

So that's why you called me at work! I was like "Who is this Kevin, I know several Kevins. Oh but Luna's phone is off. Eh, whatever, they'll leave a message if it's important."

There will be more majors later, right now your job and school and finding a place to stay are all more important.
