I think that schedule looks pretty good. Also, after playing waterpizza last weekend I caved and ordered it, so hopefully I can get some practice in before next time.

Awesome, thanks for the explanation. I have definitely not spent enough time with this game in training mode yet so it looks like that's what I'll be doing tonight.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Zomb - I didn't know sweep was jc, so that's awesome. I'll try out j2d tonight too. Coma - IIUC, 5DD doesn't work vs 5f jab chars because it's too slow so they can jab out of it (midscreen, of course), so delay 5D would have the same problem right?

I've got a question on the midscreen oki. I haven't had enough time to test this yet, I just noticed it when I was playing earlier. I have a hard time keeping Aki in the 2DD (I'm not sure if it's all 5f jab chars but I've only really noticed it vs him). My normal midscreen hitconfirm is usually something like 2A 5B 2B 2A+B or 2A 2A 2B 2A+B -> oki, but vs Aki he's always too far away and the 2DD just straight misses him, he jabs Tomoe so I lose a card and my pressure. Is there any way around this while still having a decent hitconfirm? I'm assuming the problem is that my string is pushing him out of range, since the video tends to show everything off just 2A 2A+B. I can't confirm off just 1 2A though and I assume that 2A+B is unsafe (at the very least it's at disadv so I'm going to lose the momentum more often than not). Does anyone have suggestions for dealing with this? Should I just change my midscreen confirm?

Thanks for taking the time to translate all of this and the other thread, magz

Cool thread, thanks. I have a really bad habit of chaining into 2B during blockstrings which isn't that bad to do sparingly since you can jc into j.C and go from there, but I fall back on it a lot. The pressure section helps remind me that I need to work on keeping up safer pressure strings in general

Time works really well for me. Will be there around 4 or 5 or something.

Tried this out last night and it worked perfectly for me, I had no issues setting it up using the readme. I've been trying to teach myself to pushblock "properly" (my old habit was hp->lk) and this will definitely help. Thanks!

Going to try to remember this and possibly come out. I should maybe start playing gundam again if I plan on entering. Hrm.
