Wild Wallice

So I have come up with a plan. I'm gonna come down this week again, and from then onward I will show up at the Friday meetups every other week. Additionally, I'm going to try bringing people with me. I've talked to Stay Free already and he said he was interested. So what I'm thinking I'm gonna do is, offer a ride to anyone who is in the Tustin/Irvine area or southward. I think there are a few people who are on the way there who I could grab on the way. The catch is, since I have no job right now and am not independently wealthy, I will have to hit up the people who come for gas money. It takes me half a tank to go to San Diego and back from where I am, and a full tank works out to $45. So half of that works out to 22 bucks plus some change, and this would be split between myself and whoever I am picking up. When I get a job I'll be able to pay for my own damn gas as much as I want, so I'll probably offer rides for free, but until then I'm gonna have to harass people for gas money. The other catch is that whoever I take with me will have to be prepared to leave at 11PM. Since I'm living with my parents at the moment, I can't stay out till 3 in the morning like we used to. When I get a job and move out, that will also change. Let me know what any of you guys on the road to SD think about this.

I will be there. I'll also be bringing my setup as usual. Can't have too many, especially seeing so many people are gonna come. I'm also gonna need to leave relatively early, since I'm going to be going back up to Irvine in the same night.

So what is the deal with the meetup this Friday? Where is it gonna be at and will it be at the usual time? I'm going to try to make this one. I'm still busy with relocating and stuff, but I'm gonna try to set aside this Friday to show up. Once I get moving taken care of, I should be able to come on a consistent basis again. I'm also considering going to Salt Mines instead since it seems like all of you go to that anyway. Also, Revelations was dildos.

I know I know, but I need to pick a top tier.

So after the Sunday tournament at Super Arcade I've decided that I'm playing this game wrong. I need to switch to Mitsuru. Also, if there is a meetup this Friday, I can't make it, because Revelations is this weekend. I hope some of you guys registered and can make it. It should be pretty fun.

So just to let everyone know, we're making a persistent skype convo for SD. If you guys have skype let one of us know and pm us your skype name or put it in your profile like I have, and we'll add you. Makes communicating during netplay MUCH easier.

I assume the one with the Naoto avatar is the animu one.

Everyone get skype goddamn.

I'll send you one right now.

I am not fond of Naoto ex gunshot. Not at all. EDIT: All of you people need to get skype so we can have a skype group and chat during these matches. Also shotouts to Ichi ragequit for winning. I'd be mad if I won too much too.

YOOOOOOOO DAAAAAAAAAAYUM.

I'll be at WNF. I think people who can make it should go. Its a one time thing, being a launch event. Do we know if they're adding it to their normal Wednesday lineup? Mightfo, that is pretty useful info, thank you for sharing it with us.

Yeah it was Pulsr. He qualifies as a good Elizabeth right? Otherwise I'm gonna have to feel bad about myself.

DP grab thing can be teched out of unless you threw something out, then its untechable, so don't try to mash through it. I played a really good Elizabeth last night and I came away with a few things that might work, but are theory at this point till I find another Elizabeth to test them against. Don't let her persona out. Its slashes have crazy priority and even if they wiff they can be canceled into persona command grab or super armor sphere. If the Elizabeth is good, there won't be any gaps between these things so you can't jump/super jump out once you start blocking the persona. You can't roll out either because rolls are vulnerable to grabs and the super armor sphere is so big that it'll catch you as you come out of your roll. If you are BRAVE and assisted by THE GRACE OF GOD, you just might be able to press 5a to swat the persona away during gaps between these moves. You might also be sticking your hand into a blender. Your call. Another option might be to wait for the command grab and hop over it and do a jump normal with a lot of active frames. The hop will avoid the grab, but unless you can do something while in the hop to catch it (command grab is invuln I believe) the persona will just be able to do another stupid mixup on you again. Also consider using your furious action. For my character its a death sentence, but for some other chars it might be alright. When her persona isn't out, just wait for her to do normals and roll through them since all the card-throwing normals look like they have recovery. If you get in on her without her persona being out, rape the shit out of her. She only has like 7k health, so two full combos will probably kill her. Those are just my thoughts on Elizabeth. That char is stupid, but I think once people become more acquainted with the game we'll have a better idea of how to deal with her.

I don't really have that issue Glod, since my non-awakening super is pretty much the one I'll be using the most since it can be done in the air. I also think it would be super silly if I could just do cross slash any time I wanted, because its safe on block and full invuln. Also Ichi, don't feel bad. After playing a few other Labrys in person last night, I can say that Tsuki's is honestly pretty good, especially for week one. The main issue I had with her was her furious action, but once I realized I could just do the auto combo and then cancel any time into my furious action to beat the super armor, she became significantly easier to lock down and kill. That's how you beat her, make sure she can't do anything. If you let her run around and do whatever she wants then she'll be able to kick the shit out of you. Don't give her any time to breathe. But other than that Labrys is cheap and this game sucks lets play a real game like Jackie Chan since BBCP sucks too.

Ichi, I would say Shtkn is a bit behind, since he is focusing on Mitsuru rather than Narukami a the moment. If he decides to get serious I'm sure it'll be pretty deadly. Good shit Glod. Now you gotta get first at the next tournament.

Send me a friend request on PSN and I'll invite to you our rooms next time we have them. I think there might be a few other people who I need to friend on PSN still. Need to look into that.

I did install actually. That's usually the first thing I do with every game I get.

GGs to Glod and Ichi. Ichi, you froze up at the end there so I just disbanded the room. Also, fuck your j.c or whatever move where the stupid butterfly stabs downward. So much range and so many active frames goddamn. It was responsible for pretty much all my persona breaks.

Sweeps do hard knockdown but are difficult to combo from and make your combos do significantly less damage. They're pretty much there so you can call your persona safely and then do some oki. It seems that there are few if any specials that have hard knockdown at all, which means if you complete your combo you had better have a tech trap ready to catch them. Its different, I'm sure I'll get used to it after a while. Meanwhile, in BBCP Loketest Land: Jin Changed Move: Sekkajin Input is now 22C, has followups. New Move: Hizansen j.214C New Move: Hizangeki j.214D Changed Move: Hiyoku Getsumei Can be performed in the air. 236B and 236C removed 214A removed 623A removed

GGs Ichi. I don't know what it is, but it seems like when I'm playing online, everyone can meaty 5a me through just about everything I do and I can't do shit about it. I'm hoping this is just due to the internet and not part of the actual game. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I go play people in person. Also, the lack of hard knockdowns REALLY annoys me. There isn't a nice back and forth like other games, its just unpredictable clusterfuck all the time. I don't think that is an endearing game trait. This game sucks, we should just play the new BB instead. #kappa

That is retarded as hell holy shit. Also, yeah Donnie, it does that. Your brilliant picture has reminded me that I need to start experimenting.

So I just watched the trailer again and noticed something. Everybody's heat gauges are segmented into 4 parts just like Jin's used to be. So I guess that isn't a Jin-specific gimmick anymore. The real question is, will we be seeing EX moves, Force Breaks, or the return of FRCs?

Persona 4 Arena? Screw that, that game sucks. Lets all play a real game, like Blazblue Chrono Phantasma. Real talk though, I think that the new BB looks pretty good, but I'm pretty sad that it probably won't take off over here still. I'll still play it though. Looks like Jin got an air dp that hits downwards which is pretty sick. I hope it ground bounces on counter hit. Also, just want to put this out there, but I approve of Noel's redesign and Bullet's character design 100%. Don't judge me.

So as a heads up: I will not be coming to next Friday's meetup. I'm gonna be staying with my parents in Irvine and going to all the P4A related stuff thats happening up here this week and it would be inconvenient to come down just for one day. Also, I've terminated my lease so I'm gonna be gone by the end of this month. Like I said before, I'll keep showing up to the meetups on Fridays for as long as I can afford it, so I won't be completely gone.
