we'll start from around 5-6

same place as last year...

So the word is yes, there will be a gathering at State this Saturday. I'm not going to post this on SRK for the express reason that there are some people who are undesired(not by me in particularly). If you know somebody on SRK that you don't think we'll have a problem with, pm them about the gathering, other than that, this invite stays on DL.

Let me check with the rest of my roommates...possible session this weekend.

for future reference, do you guys want to organize some online gatherings since most of us have PSN accounts? Online will be online but I think we can still learn something.

I don't know, It also seemed like I couldn't hit her with a chain to save my life. The guy I played was good, didn't drop many combos...but he dp'd way too much, that was my fault for letting him. Also, he ate the houtenjin option select EVERY TIME in the corner...I don't think he realized that it was an option select. Regardless, she be stupid...

So I just fought a Litchi for the first time...all I need to know is where do her combos end and begin...I was in the corner and I didn't know wtf was going on...lol

Just letting yall know, I'm probably not going to have gathering tmr. We're all going tailgating at the football game tmr and I'm not sure when I'll be back but I probably won't want company when I do get back anyway. So we'll see what shit's gonna be like next weekend.

so yeah, I'm thinking about having our first state gathering of the year this weekend, it's a kinda "come here if you don't want to go to gamefrog" thing. I'll give more updates later on in the week.

After looking at these vids...I'm wondering why Buppa doesn't ever finish his combo? Like the reset worked a few times but the others he just got hit when Kaqn was coming down.

random question...Did Zakiyama die in a car accident? I'm hearing that's the reason Kaqn named his team Zakiyama. If it's true, then we've lost a great hazama player. Zakiyama was the guy who got me interested in Hazama in the first place.

about j.214B, I've had limited success using it on oki as a tk. It's like a one time thing though, they'll never fall for it again and there's probably way more better things that you can do on oki than that.

what's the timing to link Mizuchi Rekkazan after a Jakou?

Yeah you're right. I got the moves mixed up. But yeah what's up with it gaining FC properties. Like when does it gain those properties?

ok...about Rasenga...I just saw a vid where it fatal countered a Jin coming in from the air but any other time he countered jin with it, it just had regular counter properties. Why did Rasenga get FC properties that one time?

Right now, I'm just saying Zakiyama is better just b/c he has better combos and takes good advantage of how good Jayoku DD is. I believe Hazama will turn into a more aggressive character in time. We just haven't seen anything yet. I'm still only seeing damage come from counter hits with D or something like that. Haven't seen any "in your face" mixup yet from the vids I've watched so far. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's there.

The only reason I don't see the I-no like mixups is that I would think that nobody would let him do a chain point blank to do an instant overhead, other than that, when he does a chain and flies toward you, you know he's airborn. I'm sure there's more to it than that but maybe I'm overestimating everybody. But regardless while he's got potential, we just haven't seen it yet. Zakiyama's probably the closest showing what he can really do so far.

I think Zakiyama is the best Hazama atm. Also, another problem I'm seeing is Hazama's mixup and oki. Just based on what I've seen so far from vids, it's like he doesn't have hardly any of each. Most of the damage I'm seeing is coming from random CH with his Drive or (in Zakiyama's case) CH Jayoku Houtenjin.

I've seen it once. I think Zakiyama over at Gamechariot did it once. Did some nice damage. On another note...about Jayoku Hotenjin...does anybody know exactly how fast the start up is? I'm seeing some players (mainly zakiyama) instant block stuff like Ragna's c.A and JH him for it.

I don't know who the players are but here's some Hazama vids vs Noel http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/2/6VnLPeNIVQY http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/3/KaE_faP7Dlk http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/5/1LnZ9H8OqiE http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/6/fQk7zgW6QwA http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/7/YD79Blfwndo vs. Tager http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/20/BEwOvqH6d7g http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9005848nico vid. starts at 9:30 vs. Ragna http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/22/kaO-i3jz61k (last match) vs. Tsubaki http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/52/d_M7Ld_KEwc (last match) http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou#p/u/53/rhrbeXh-Nqg (last match) One more thing... http://gamechariot.com/ it will be the fourth tab for vids and then just go to BBCS. Hazama play by Shadow, Ertai, and zakiyama

so I've never really thought much of BB and I still don't but Hazama just looks too cool to pass up on playing. Anyway, got a few general questions. 1. Does he have a considerably good oki game? Most of the combo's I've been seeing on vids just knock the opp. down right beside him? 2. Does he have any real damage? Maybe it's just me but I see him hit somebody and it just doesn't look like it hurts at all unless a super's in there somewhere. 3. How is his poking game compared to the rest of the cast. Thanks in advance for the info

ok...I want to play Haku-men, as such...this vid greatly disturbs me http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5823241 so...play some more theory fighter here...I'm liking what 10stars is saying so far. We need more info.

that loop she was doing on Rachael...is that character specific?

I like hase just for the fact that he maximizes nearly every opportunity that he gets.

Guardian about that combo...you don't even have to use that much tension to get that damage. on crouch: (Optional) 6k,5k,6p FRC, j.H, j.k, j.k, j.D, j.2k, j.k, 5k,(j.S for 3 hits, j.k coming down, j.D)j.D There's so much you can do after that 3rd j.k. If you hit the j.k right, you can 5H and relaunch off of that or just go into a PB. But the ex Pile is just a waste of tension and should only be done if it's going to get you the Win. Hell in that optional part after the j.S, you can do another j.S and mix in direct hit dandy and pull off the double hit for MASSIVE DAMAGE (pun intended).
