The Abridged Version "Skye you're fired." ":c"

Hurry up and break up you two, so we can have more delicious drama again.

Often times, taking a break will help you get back on track. That usually helps me. I haven't played Extend for about a month. Went to ranbats, and suddenly I was hitting confirms to combos I didn't even know I knew. Granted, I still ended up getting knocked out eventually, but the fights I had were great. NOW I'M NOT SAYING DON'T PLAY FOR A MONTH. I'm just saying take some time off, maybe a few days, maybe a week, whatever feels better for you.

I'm getting 40 bucks on Friday for subbing half a day for a class, and I have ten bucks on me now. I'll figure something out and get it to you at casuals.

Sure.

Oh school, how you get in the way.

I care slightly, I like those remixes.

So far Toasty, Proto, and I are going together, and his car takes four people comfortably. We got room for one more. Fight to the death.

Holy shit you don't even know how creepy it is that you said that just as Toasty and I were trying to think of who to take with us and I suggested you. Goddamn.

Maybe I want it almost every situation.

Proto, Luna, Dev, dont' know who else.

I wish I had kara-cancel in other games. I just asked if I could have it without the name on Skype, I don't think you caught it though.

God I wish I had been there for that. I would have fallen out of the chair laughing.

Actually I tried to do fake cross-up j.C and the guy did Ashura so I mashed barrier. And it worked

Good shit Skye. All I found was this weird safe-jump set-up that I did on accident. I felt cool though when it happened.

Good games were had with you man. Next time you should enter ranbats, you had a pretty good Bang AND Tao.

nigga

I should just go down there right now and drive you to Chicago.

Jeez Shin, we need to try our best not to travel together. My luck + your luck = Holy shit

I fucking love this scene so much. Shardz, Axis, hit me up with a PM or on Skype to send me the replay files so I can upload them.

No, dont'. At least not mindlessly. Watch the Ragna and what his blockstrings, pressure patterns, and spacing tendencies seem to be. Then react with the appropriate drive for the situation. For example, if he seems to love throwing out dash 5B or using 2A on your wake up, 2D will high profile both of these. If he tries a reckless jump in, 4D will kill it completely. If he tries to do some fancy, risky stuff, react with which ever drive will work best in that situation, keeping in mind what moves beat which drives. ONCE you've gotten them scared of your drive, you can start pressuring them and frame trapping them your own way. And if they try to get out of that (without using DP), watch their tendencies and drive through them. I'm sure Luna can elaborate more, but that's just somethings to keep in mind. The point is that you want to make them scared of drive, so you can start having an easier time getting in.

Yup. Why don't you do the same with Noel's drives? IB and punish. Besides, you don't ALWAYS go for 5D. Mix it up. The point is these moves do have their uses in pressure against Noel.

Then that becomes situational. In that case, yeah the Ragna would get punished, if it did whiff. But if it doesn't? He's safe.

Or he can cancel into Deadspike. On instantblock that's -GASP- 0! Safety. You have options, use them. I'm not saying those are good pressure tools, but they are save. And necessary in this match-up. You're not always gonna get to play how you want to play in every match up. Rushdown is not how you win this match. Spacing, keep-away, and baiting drive using these moves is.
