It's probably more a sign that the Waldsteins I play are mostly subpar, but I don't find that match so bad. He's big and fat and sometimes he actually lets lizard keep him out. My biggest issues are Eltnum, Carmine, and Merkava. Vatista too the few times I've actually fought her. Those four characters seem to just shut down anything I want to do, and I'm never sure when to try hitting a button.

The wiki page is so thorough, great work to everyone involved. It's been a huge help transitioning from AC+R.

GG tourney was a fun time, even with the small turnout. Shoutouts to the GG girls for running things and knocking me into losers.

It would if this was KoF.

I'm enjoying the game so far, but Online is seriously discouraging. Can't seem to find anybody playing every time I'm on (same 1-bar guy every time I tried ranked) and it feels like there's just enough lag to screw up the timing on my still very scrubby combos. Online options feel really bare bones, too. Even moreso than vanilla Marvel. Haven't got to play anyone locally yet, though, so hopefully that will be the step in the right direction I need.

Might be a dumb question, but, how do the combos work/feel in this game? Are they more like GG or BB with like quick gatling-esque cancels, or more like Street Fighter where you have links and other nonsense going on?

Aw man, that sounds like a good time. Pity I'll be 4 hours across the state.

So we know GG is running for sure, and we have great details on the whole shebang. But what about Blazblue? I've got a couple friends who might be interested in that. Is anyone running it for sure yet?

Beautiful. Can't wait!

I didn't mean for it to sound that way, I know Ghaleon's all about the old-school stuff. My bad? The "if anything" was simply in reference to "we need people who want to play these games if they're gonna be played" and so far there hasn't been a huge response from the community just yet voicing interest. We've got like 10 people interested in either game, and half of those still aren't confirmed to be coming.

It'll be a side tourney, if anything. Ghaleon and co. aren't focusing on games like GG/BB as main events since they'd just rather make the big games...bigger. If you're interested in BB just register as a spectator or something and play in the BB tourney when it goes down.

I'll just throw the ol' PS2 and AC disc in my backpack, then. Whether it'll be needed or not, doesn't hurt to be prepared!

Any word on who's running GG yet or how many setups we need?

Game is pretty damn solid, and a total blast. "Unlockables" are kinda bland, but who really gives a shit? Online is wonderful, I played for like 3 hours with a guy in Germany with the only hiccups being occasional jumps as the game tried to catch up. No slowdown is a beautiful thing. The replay upload feature is really cool, too.

Hah, was gonna throw out a reminder that I'd be pot monstering GG up, but you've already got me down! I'll seeya in October!
