Is that tech trap as in Mitsuru throwing you into the corner? She gets a full combo from corner throw (no counter required) anyway. Regardless, always be wary about teching into Bufudyne lol. Mitsuru's standing jab is 7f while Yu's is 5f.

Well yeah, it was more of a frame data test. Obviously stuff becomes safer at tip range. Her normals are slow but goddamn this hitboxes.

So did some testing with blockstring into charged sweep (whiff). Generally players go for a throw mixup afterwards on a blocking opponent. This actually gets beat by A mash. In fact even if Mitsuru does charged sweep into immediate block she can get counterhit on the recovery frames of the sweep whiff. But the opponent has to time it immediately and has to guess that sweep will be charged otherwise they get FCed by the regular sweep followup. The best counter option for this blockstring is actually to throw the startup of sweep (there's a gap between 5B, 2AB). The gap is large enough to get a throw counter but small enough that A mash will get counterhit by the sweep. However charged B into sweep has enough blockstun to not be throw punishable. Reposted from Mitsuru thread 214C at tip range is safe on block and will low profile her jab bullshit. You can safejump her DP but you're limited to frontal options, all the crossup oki gets beat by stupid C+D hitbox. Should be more than enough with his multiple high low fuzzy options anyway. Like Killey mentioned you should be careful about Persona calls, so limit the use of your C button. Mitsu's probably the best in the game at primer breaking. Also none of that raw 5D in blockstrings shit, you shouldn't be doing that anyway. If they're doing braindead 5AAA into droit, just throw her after droit, IB or not. When in doubt, mash C+D.

Will be there. Does KOF..... still exist? ?___?

Stupid j.B hitstun screwing up confirms, hard to tell when it's going to be 1/2 hits sometimes.

Thx! Btw, what do you use for a 214D OMC 214B combo? Pretty much similar ending I gather.

About the OMB combo, is the one in the the [key plus words] video optimal (the first combo)? OMB 5D into 214B loop x2... (corner) 2B 5C 214AB into another loop. I have trouble hitting the last loop. They seem to tech immediately after the EX dive. I usually just do 214B loop x2 into 5AAA for 5.1k.

Will be at GC Friday afternoon-night, KOF casuals? Haven't played in months lol, 1 day prep for SNCI.

KBeast said he'd buy me dinner if I went to this, so I'm in .

I predict a million dropped combos and KOF tourney ending at 1 in the morning.... At least XIII players have an excuse, game is brand new. GG players have an excuse, game is too old. What's BB players excuse? Version is outdated?

So who's actually entering KOF? I don't want to wake up Saturday morning and travel to San Mateo just to play Willy and Coopa.

KOF XIII tournament at Gamecenter tonight alongside the usual AE/Marvel at TNT. Will try to keep entry low to encourage new players, maybe $2 reg? We might just do round-robin, talk to me or Chris-tan for details.

XIII at NCI? Ginseng can't wait to say good morning to my wake up DPs.

Nuuuu

HUDDLE AROUND NIGGAS FOR WARMTH

Are you the BEST Valk in America?

James' Zero is as bad as his Valk is good.

So is there some sort of NorCal carpool going to NWM? And is there space for me?

When Ultimate Mayo comes out, I hope NorCal has an active scene. I hope we can have regular Mayo gatherings so that our Mayo can rival Japan's Mayo.

No console version. I just found my BBCS disk, since CS2 is free might as well take advantage.

I may play blazbloo with ya'll. I DLed CS2 yesterday and mission mode is a-go.

I might start playing BB again, Relius looks pretty gdlk. And there's high level practice local, instead of Eggs and Rice/Isaiah/l0k over and over.

Most of NorCal is free 24/7.
