Psykotik

Toronto is RIP. Move here and degen with us.

Yessir, I also have an extra monitor. Yes, this potentially means 3 +R setups. I have an LGP that I could lend to you guys on Thursdays.

hi

So just in case news haven't got out yet... Starting this Friday, I'll be living with Dev for the rest of the term. So that means that we'll have 2 +R setups and Scott won't have to lug his ps3 around anymore I still probably won't go to the Thursday night casuals anyways since I need to make time to study for my actsci exams lololol

Yup, that's for CP, should've clarified, my bad.

Akira: Nirvana's non-OD recovery is still technically the same in CP as CSEX (16 points per frame). Although you make a very valid point regarding Carl's meter recovery solo combos, you have to keep in mind that those will only help meter management if you can actually get that first hit on them; if you drained meter on the neutral game, still haven't caught your opponent and have low doll meter, you're pretty much SOL at this point. That route's pretty much obsolete at this point. 5C, Brio, sj.B, dj.B, j.C, Volante seems to be an optimized route.

Nah, you can debate this here if you want since it's Carl-related. Hell, we could even get in an extra voice or two and maybe we'll all learn something else from this. Make sure y'all play nice though~

That's not how the cost multiplier works Akira. The cost multiplier applies to all of Ada's moves, not just the one particular move that has the multiplier. And I'd think people would be more likely deterred by Carl's difficulty as opposed to his tier position, which is still very, very respectable. Aside from that, you're right about everything else... although I'd like to think that Ada got better with the addition of Tenerezza Thanks for your input everyone. I thought about it a bit and decided that I should probably make separate videos for each aspect of Carl's game (offense, defense, and neutral) as opposed to making one giant video. It's more presentable imo and is more accessible for beginners in that they will know to look up X video to learn about Y concept since said concepts will be naturally categorized. It'll also allow me to sneak in more details that would otherwise make a single video too cluttered. I hope to receive more of your opinions in the future. Here's to this project (hopefully) succeeding and the eventual rise of the Carl army :CA::CA:

You shouldn't be doing random rolls in neutral against a grounded Hazama (or almost anybody for that matter) in the first place :X

So I decided that I'm going to start a little project for CP: that is, make a brief tutorial video that could potentially expand into a mini-series (free time pending) for Carl. I kind of realized in the past few days that Carl's been lacking these kind of resources since CT; considering that Carl is a rather advanced character, this sounds a bit backwards to me when you realize that other characters in BB, whom are more basic than Carl, have these kind of resources available to them so I'm going to try to rectify this. My first video will be a very brief beginner's video that quickly goes over Carl's gameplan in neutral, offense and defense. Any thoughts on what should be covered on it? Keep in mind that this first video is intended for people who are absolutely new to Carl so these are things that you guys should already know lol.

Thanks for the vids sinder.

I'd highlight the best Carl matches in this bunch but I'll just save myself the time and say this instead: IF YOU'RE NOT WATCHING ANY OF THESE, YOU'RE FUCKING UP Tons of good Carls in these matches, including Itou, are going against some of the best BB players in the country/the world. You're screwing up as a BB player, let alone a Carl player, if you're not taking the time to watch any of these matches and I'm not just talking about the Carl matches.

Oh yeah, could someone cover the 3 pieces I ate? I'll pay you back next time I come over.

I definitely want to go to CECC! Problem is I need to find a ride and I'm not willing to shell out $100+ for a greyhound. There's a chance that the Ottawa guys won't go so if they don't go, I'm out of a ride ...unless you guys can somehow stop by Ottawa on the way :3 (even though it's not really on the way lol) https://www.facebook.com/events/588632997826452/ http://torontotoptiers.com/ceccprereg/ Btw, who from mtl is going to CECC?

Andddd my connection somehow reverted to its previous state. I'll figure this shit out someday, GGs to everyone in Heartless' room. Thanks! ^_^

Shoutouts to dat Kliff, jfc I didn't even know that you don't even have the game until yesterday. You're gonna be even scarier when +R drops. :GetEm: Shoutouts to taking the wrong bus and getting home at 3 in the morning lol.

Let's play, my netplay's not garbage anymore :D

It's definitely in Haku's favor. Haku's neutral is hella strong against Carl and can make it hard for Carl to approach Haku. Haku's counter also gives him a solid tool to get out of pressure + oki. Honestly, I'd say the matchup's bad based on the neutral alone since it's so hard for Carl to get anything started on Haku. FWIW, this matchup is one of the reasons why Ryuusei claims that Carl is "not strong enough" which led him to switch to Jin.

Regarding the frame perfect UB v Haku's counter, I did a little testing in the lab using a frame-perfect 2A + 2D*. The results were interesting; if Haku does 2D, it fails and he gets counter hit. If he does 6D however, the counter is successful. I'm not quite sure why it's like that but whatever. Then again, I vaguely remember LK mentioning that frame-perfect UBs don't actually exist in BB or something. I can't remember his explanation but I guess I could ask him later or something... * I set the dummy to block everything and recorded the UB on that setting. Since the dummy got hit by 2A while being set to block everything, I'm assuming that it's frame perfect.

The only time Carl has recovery w/Ada moves is if he's doing a super, otherwise he has none. That little point animation only happens when Carl's in an idle state and can be cancelled at any time with anything. Eclipse turn isn't exactly a great option in this match since you'd also have to use asteroid vision, which is hella telegraphed and it has really long recovery. Carl would have to be a doormat for that to even have a chance of not getting punished. Yazumatto's post basically hit the nail on the head regarding this MU.

Oh yeah, here's the Toronto "major" I mentioned earlier https://www.facebook.com/events/588632997826452/ http://torontotoptiers.com/ceccprereg/

Today was too fun, GGs guys, I can already feel myself improving, however slow it may be :D Kliff is a silly fucker lol.

Any GG happening this weekend?

I was in the middle of moving to my new place, cut me some slack D: Thanks for the timestamps btw :3 Tachikawa Intrasquad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ztbDoqgf6E [satoru (RG) v Hiryu (CA)] http://youtu.be/7ztbDoqgf6E?t=4m12s [barell (TG) v Hiryu (CA)] http://youtu.be/7ztbDoqgf6E?t=8m42s [sin (CA) v Hiryu (CA)] http://youtu.be/7ztbDoqgf6E?t=11m43s [Miyuki (CA) v Hiryu (CA)] http://youtu.be/7ztbDoqgf6E?t=14m43s [inu Boku (HZ) v Hiryu (CA)] http://youtu.be/7ztbDoqgf6E?t=17m57s [seriwaza (MU) v Hiryu (CA)] I'm not a Hiryu fan but he played really well Central Hachiouji: Set b/t Pucchi Shinpu & Mabukapu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb42Oap2ap8
