Sounds like a pretty solid weekend. You gotta get Emmet into Super. I hope your ready for some epic training sessions next month!

I'd say most of them play at least 5 nights a week. Obviously some more and some less. If you follow the Tokyo scene for example, fri/sat and usually sunday are pretty busy. Wednesday is also a great night. I think there is a tourney on thurs at Mikado and judging from looking at the old brackets there are lots of heavy hitters attending that. I can't say for sure anything about the days outside of that, but in my experience I can't recall too many times I've been to vegas/mikado in the evening and there wasn't some body famous. As for coming this summer, I think I am going to be coming at the tail end of may, and I have to be back by the 24th of june in order to make it to the DT/Maiden concert. How does that timeframe sound?

Pro jap players play ungodly ammounts of their chosen game. They use alts when playing with friends/when no good comp is around. Probably also use alts just to have fun.

Or at least he has it down to a science! Zing!

Thats probably just because he is viewed as one of the best Baikens, but who knows. This does, however, remind me of how Gin is a scientist:keke: Alos, lol at you guys getting Kebabs all the time now. My influence is a force to be feared I guess.

Blood was part of the Inoue fanclub, for the record. I dont remember him hanging out with the Hase possy really, but I cant say for sure. He always was talking with Nobu and Inoue and shit though. Good shit though man.

Well, congrats on the engagement. Next step is to learn how to say you're engaged in Japanese Bummer for me, but my schedule is wicked at school this term and I dont think I'll be able to pony up the green for getting back to Japan before Fall, but I'll manage. Saddly, I think I'm getting addicted to snus now. Damnit

Fixed. That will bait you more bursts than anything you can learn, except maybe running js jp. I always wished I could find a way to combo into brp frc jh. It would be the mother of all farfnir combos

The cancel is nothing. You just fall and hit 5c when youre on the ground. If youre wondering about how to do 2 jcs while falling, you have to kote the staff back(421d) and then do another jc after the recovery.

The new system makes it easier to tech as the hit count goes up and not by elapsed time. SO just to clarify, if I hit 5d to cancel 3c nothing will happen, but 2d wll make it return? That explains why Ive not been able to reproduce those combos, and I never knew that there were different return inputs...

Are you sure you arent confusing the new tech time system(which basically gives all of litchis moves more untech time) with moves actually having more untech time? Like the reason you can do combo into rekkas loop and then combo out of them now isnt because chun has more untech time, just that combos arent penalized for length in time, but rather length in hits. And just to clarify, you can cancel 3c]m[ with 5d if the staff is in 2d set, but not 5d set?

There is some miss information, and lacking info in the first post. You can combo into daisharin. I`m pretty sure all three moves when you`re on the staff kill guard primers(though a might not, pretty sure it does). Which move fatal counters isn`t written any where. Is staffless 3c cancelable with 5d? I know you can kote out of it.

Building on what the last guys said, heres a link to a resent tourney. Kimura has some pretty wicked rush down, flowing between staff and no staff pretty impressively

What the heck is the trick for doing x > 22d > 6cc and getting the second part of 6cc to connect? They always seem to tech before it hits and I can jc. do I need to wait longer after 22d, or am I simply not gatling it fast enough. And while I'm here, is there time to dash inbetween 214b and 5b>aircombo? Seems like I am too far away to follow up a lot of the time, or that combo simply doesn't work on like half the cast(mainly talking about after throw).

If you're worried about your opponent dping inbetween 5k and jp, why aren't you worried about them dping your 5k?????? I know I've probably said this a billion times, but you really should do relatively reversal safe oki like 75% of the time. That means meaty safe jump/fuzzy guard(after they stop dping), GB oki, what ever. Once they are trying to read you then you can exploit them. As for quitting hos.... I burned my bridges when I dropped Jam for him I guess. I still scrub people out with my slayer from time to time though.

Well, I'm in Tokyo for now. Played BB at Joybox for like 6 hours this morning, and gonna head over to Mikado to x-copy some litchi and play some gear. It's good to be back, and I cant wait for you guys to get here! Random aside: I heard the Indian version of Lil' Jon this morning at the 24 hour indo curry place. Hilarious

I'm on sebatical in Japan, so I've finally gotten my self some time with a CS cab, and while being a Hos player I wanted to give Tsubaki my all, I think I'm staying with litchi. That said, is there a bnb list any where yet? She seems like she is even more open as regards to combos than before, so I understand if its not worth making a list, just wonder. I really just need to know how to end combos, IE the stuff after the falling hatsu. Also, when are good spots to use her new 6D, and is j2d more comboable now? I really wanted Tsubaki to work, but my half combos do more than tsubaki BnBs :/ Oh well.

Man, I hate it when people throw up in restaurant sinks!

Rtl actually brought that up a while ago. Didn't we hear announcers saying like "Seta Faust" or "Seta Slayer"?

What exactly is entailed in a penis match? And Mike, do you remember that cab driver we got going home last year?

Noel "Tsubaki! When did you become such good friends with the bear!"

Have you guys tried not wasting time on charging after combos? I havn't played CS at all or watched much, but with OS in AC you didn't usually have to give up okizeme for charge. Considering you can combo into/guardstring into her install maybe building gague after combos is a waste of time?

I was at CTF over Thanksgiving Week and the cab was in fact super shitty. Have fun with Miu though. And be warned, his Japanese is pretty tough to understand

You know the chick in the red dress is a pornstar right? Shes the chick who used to keep asking me to join in her 3-ways. Also, you might want to change all the BB:CT's to CS's before the fanbois think you're a noob. In another note, not sure how serious the talk was, but I was drinking with some of my exchange student friends that will be going home in December and was telling them about Northern Lights in Nigata and they said they totally wanted to hit it up some time during January. I dont know how busy you'll be then, but I remember you were looking for a reason to go back there so maybe we could go check that out some weekend maybe?

I have a friend with pretty meh level japanese who got a job pretty late notice in August this year with some crapy company. Shes in Sano, so its not perfect, but its a similar gig to Mike's and not really any further from tokyo I dont think. Want me to get the name of the place she applied to? It could be useful as a last ditch effort to get you over there asap
