Yes they most certainly do.

It wont go under it but if you space it right, you trigger the counter and she just goes flying into the air without touching you.

It has pretty slow start up, so your best bet is to avoid it entirely. Just jump or hit jiraiya out of it. Honestly if you get hit by it I dont believe there is anything we can do about it except eat the free combo.

Feel the curse. Embrace it. It shall prove useful in your journey.

How many places is having casuals this friday??? Chrono, Seon and Del???

lol no. Just jokes man. I got you .

I can give you the Gamecube. but I dont know about the stuff....

GGs to the ranbats players. I think Im gonna start practicing my TK agi's now. Its that time to get that damage.

~looks at map ~cross references pontiac with where ranbats is You live north or west of Pontiac i guess. If you lived south of pontiac then you live near me and if you lived east of pontiac then your pretty fucking close to ranbats so Im guessing north. Im guessing grand blanc...

I just realized how anti-zoner this game actually is. The tiers should literally go S,A,B,Zoner.

Naoto has a crazy loop in the corner. It resets her proration mid combo and since we have low health its very dangerous so watch out. I dont know the actual starters though. (I hate to sound like a prick) If you play the matchup properly she will never be able to do it seeing how Naoto will always be TRYING to get in and not ACTUALLY in your face. This works. Also if she isnt trying to shoot you out the sky, throw in a j.D or 2. What i do is make her realize that her only option is to run in, and then punish her for doing so.

Who has?

Shardz has informed me that Ranbats is starting up again. Next Saturday, August 25 is the beginning of this season. Also P4A is there. Its in some place out in Sterling Heights. I'll get full details when i'm not in school.

*sigh* well sense im going to be in the area anyway (school) i guess i can show. Cant bring my setup though. unless someone else is hosting somewhere else...

When I have some free time to fight against Yu and nothing but Yu I will post what I know about it. What I know so far: He doesnt really care about 5BB. It stops his lightning ball but he can slide right under it so he can get in on us quickly. His mixup is crazy scary. Be prepared to Dia alot seeing how he WILL be on you. Also bait his DP as much as possible. This match-up is scary...

1B/2B/3B, 5B and Dia. Its funny but thats all you need in this matchup. Kanji NEEDS to be close to you. If he does full screen lightning just Dia through it. When he tries to close the gap on the ground, 5BB. And when he jumps 1B/2B/3B depending on his trajectory.

In this matchup, 5B, J.B, Maragi and 2D are your best friends. You dont want her to close the distance on you cause thats when she is dangerous. Dont even worry about inflicting amazing damage. Just keep her out. Gli is absolutely right about the baiting of her DP. Thats a perfect way to deal with it if she gets in on you.

Ok from what I learned in my travels: Elizabeth completely out zones us so this is a fight where you wanna be physical. If able, plant your J.d persona close to her to make her afraid. Her 5b eats our fans. Anytime she use her persona to get us out of range it leaves her persona open. Her healing is not too much of a prob because the health she gets back is equal to one good bnb from us. Dia goes through ALL OF HER RANGED ATTACKS! You can use Dia to bait her or her persona in and counter. What I have been aiming for is baiting with Dia and breaking her persona. After her persona dies shes like a deer in headlights. Thats all I have for now. I'll add more as I learn.

Welcome to the scene good sir.

Nigga you live an hour away from me. and I have no gas.

I dont know about the one that happened yesterday. I know about the one that happened on Thursday and last weekend though. Ha. Looking at my name, I should probably know about all of them.

And just like that, I am extremely excited for BB. Damn it...

P4U midnight : I'm going but ill be running a little late. Youmacon 2012 : So who is ready for Michigan Invades Youmacon : Episode 2?
