Star-Demon

If I said no or left early you'd just tell me I'm giving up and not playing won't get me any better. :| People telling me I should play more. I don't know - When we played I didn't really feel like I should have been playing. I guess I should avoid playing more. I feel like I'm just watching myself do things from the outside more lately.

Sorry- only really played because you asked. I really didn't want to.

I need to BAIKEN first before I play you, psyco - Gimme a few.

Serious? I have thousands of matches - aren't I supposed to have tons of experience right now? Isn't that the problem? What qualifies as a lot of experience around here? I don't understand anymore. LOL. Gimme a number and let's see if I can hit it. fine - we'll play more, I guess.

psyco admits to playing a scumbag hakumen - confirming he plays for the same reason I do - to beat people and then make them feel worse about playing the game - making himself better than others.

I'm sparing you all a three page long post because the mods tell me I'm not a real member of this community and I'm on notice. You guys are making absolutely no fucking sense. Moy is the only person here I've played extensively enough to make somewhat decent judgements about where I was, where I am, and where I'm going, and even then he's only ever made a minimum of sense and its not making any goddamned sense right now. Moy - just cough up my bad habits so I can find them and fix them. Please. you clearly know more about me what I play you than I know you, and I think this only holds me back.

Yeah I've been trying to catch a bad wakeup with 6D too much. I can't 5B or 3C you though. It's minus and you always reach me after block. I can't overhead you obviously. I don't know. I can't space you for shit. Even after everything I've been trying it's just not working. I cannot hit you and you move too smartly for me to figure it out.

YES, I KNOW! I don't fucking like it in the least. What happened to the place in time I was improving against you? I want that back. I really don't know what you are talking about. I missed 3-4 combos because I missed 6C and got 5C. That happens sometimes, but I have the stick down, it's just that platinum has a really good falling normal to beat staff launch on that. If I'm trying to overhead you it's because I lose my turn if you ever block and your normals punish all my attempts to get back or continue. I completely lose my turn no matter what I've chosen to do against you. You know things about me that I don't know about myself and I feel completely in the dark because I cannot change these matches to something better in neutral because of it. You know how I move, when I attack, how I attack, and every move you make just out-positions and outreaches and counters everything I have. I've tried so many times to change that over the last few months and it's no fucking different. I'm more upset that I can't defend myself against you still - as much as we played I still don't understand what you want and when you want it. I don't know any of your habits - you seem to have every one of mine. I can't barrier you, I can't escape you, I can't instablock and punish or escape, I can't barrier in air versus you on tech, even though I'm trying to do that and risk getting air grabbed. And you just out-move me and falling J.B. It's so fucking good and you can corner carry with that retarded loop for 3K and outpoke every normal I can try. Every time I hit you I have to wonder if you were choosing not to throw out anything you had which reaches farther and is just generally better than anything I have. These matches don't change much anymore. They're still a fucking flowchart and I still do not understand what to do against you when you really just have to land any single normal into 3-5k and I need a counter hit slow ass normal to get that sort of damage and 50 meter into Oki. You're pretty much figured out every mixup on Kokushi I know and I pretty much have stolen every one. I'm trying everything I understand about the game and my character and I just cannot change the match in the least. How the fuck do I punish your fucking character? Jesus CHRIST! She's considered a terrible fucking character! The matchup is considered even or in my favor! What the fuck am I doing wrong that makes her look like she can't possible make a mistake on the screen? I don't fucking understand anymore. I've exhausted every idea and thing I've learned on you. and now you just fucking know all of that, too. WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO WITH ALL THIS? It looks like I just need to look at more shit for whatever it'll be worth and I'll get you staying still again. I"m so angry at myself right now.

I'm done. Not making any progress. GGs.

I'll invite - I'm not sure what's going on but let's try.

is PSN dropping a lot for people? I'm getting a lot of matches disconnecting tonight.

Why is everyone having fun but me? Invite me.

I'll tell you for real after I play SKD. By default I'd say A3. Star-Demon Anime Awakening mode with PS3 pad versus ???

Hopping in. Guilty Gear isn't fun when my only opponents push hella buttons and I just tatami.

I'm going to try to play tonight. If something is wrong it's not my problem! http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/starsickle/NOTOURPROBLEM_zpsc601d9f3.png

Burei buru?

Seriously, someone please subtitle these and upload them to youtube!

Dude, "Learn Eddie" is not an answer for a Baiken Matchup. :mrbiscuits: I love being challenged by Potemkins - it really gets me back into controlling space, providing threat on the screen and moving around and attacking very smartly. People that think they can play Potemkin and dump on that 3-7 matchup because of Slide head -> hammerfall cancel -> GGs are going to find themselves losing a lot of life for a 3-7 match. Now if I can really just do the Potemkin and slayer strat of "never getting hit" then I'm in really good shape for someone as new as myself.

I will definitely try to get this series back on track but I have a few other problems to attend to before I start providing a lot more content to the community: For those of you looking to get an LGP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmIA2pPwGj4 I hope that my phone call to AverMedia is helpful, although I think the reason they are being so quiet and private on the support forums is that their product is either fundamentally flawed or too costly to replace for such a large base of people. There seems to be no solution other than replacement, which also doesn't promise anything to users other than the prospect of trying to get their money back.

Is Baku's hitbox bigger than Sakura's? That might be worth the 25 meter in more situations than trying a Sakura FRC. EDIT: While I'm here - what ARE the bad Matchups? When I think bad match I ask myself a few questions: Is the game helping them win? Are your tools worthless in this fight? Is your basic gameplay bad in this fight? I suppose we can throw Baiken vs May on there. Baiken vs Potemkin is supposedly 3-7. I can't remember what places I've heard it. Baiken versus Slayer is supposedly bad, although I've been told that Slayer can't make you block. Baiken versus Testament may be bad because testament can make you face the wrong way, making your GCs worthless. (ofc, then there's BADLANDS BADLANDS BADLANDS) I've never seen a matchup chart for AC+, so I'd like to see what everyone thinks.

^ WHERE IS MY BAIKEN AT?

May is definitely one of those doable matches high level but you need a really good grasp of both characters and how the other player is behaving - but very hard when you are the underdog in any way. The game is not helping you win, so you really do need to outplay your opponent. Off the top of my head: Things to remember: 1. Every time May is crouching or blocking she is probably charging. 2. Because of 1, Dolphins are always charged. 3. Because of 2, Approaching May always carries the risk of getting dolphin-ed, especially vertical dolphin. 4. Because of 2, Your jump cancels are incredibly dangerous. 5. Because of 3 and 4, Your best bet to beat her is to make her approach all the time. From there, you pretty much have to be an absolute bitch during the match. You can't risk getting counter hit by May (We're talking AC may here who will just loop you to death) into GGs. Playing the match will require being very patient and playing very safe.

What are the rules about the second airdash afer j.D corner? It's very very late - what starters/heights/weights make it work?

I ordered my LGP today. I should be running my streamed room soon for you guys in a week or so. If anyone wants matches picked out and uploaded for study or criticism let me know. Tonight I might play - 4 person room.

I'm playing GG LETS GO I"M BORED :D
