Kokushi changed - apparently it "wasn't real" in Extend and people thought it needed a change. Now stick man only spins or punches.

PFFFFT LOL yeah maybe so you can host a cripple fight blast roundtable. Besides, Cookie has me 10-0 free. I also think 2 people is ideal for most situations.

Wow anime doesn't even show up to netplay now? We're in trouble! *Kappa*

I hope so - I'd like to meet you. Thinking again - when I went to my first TSB it was like a week or two after Extend's release - I only had minimal preparation as I bought domestic release and I didn't know half of what I know now. If I don't make a good showing it's going to be pretty crushing.

I might play and stream soon. Only have two weeks to train, so I might as well use this idle time listening to anime songs and pressing F5 to train.

Changes I'm probably going to make to my own stream: 1. You have to be watching the match to be a skype guest. 2. I am going to consider limiting the amount of guests. 3. This is a personal preference, so I'm going to consider it carefully before I act, but I might start moderating side chat if I think we're not even talking about the game or the players anymore. I'm not trying to go E-SPORTS or be a self-important ass or anything, but when I think of what it is I'm trying to accomplish and bring to the table, I have to Alpha Up and set some kind of rules.

Not sure if I should add my thoughts on this. I *will* say that there's a difference of what people expect out of these things and if we are all interested in expanding our playerbase and developing players that are local stream-worthy, that these differences needs to be understood. *Too many*? Do you honestly think we should have less help for new and current players? Wild. I don't think people are a lost cause just because we don't acknowledge that our current tools only address a subset of learning dimensions. There are so many ways to learn FGs, and I am sure that we do not use our full set of skills and resources to get the full range. Most of what you list is like "Throw books at their heads and if it doesn't stick fuck em". That's a terrible attitude for anyone interested in teaching others. For example: I'm a bit of a social learner. It wasn't until I realized the difference between someone like myself (who has no means of talking to anyone about anything past 140 characters or a short PM) and someone who sits down face-to-face and plays people offline and can actually discuss and correct things on the spot that I realized that I can't use my own learning strengths to learn the game. When you see how little we implement collaboration, guidance and mentoring because of the online-ness of our scene it becomes a little more clear why we aren't raising new nationally competitive players to dazzle everyone. I'm kinda rambling, though...

As far as feuds are concerned: No one cares. It's as manufactured as a Vince Russo Worked Shoot. These sorts of events have gravity to them because real competitive beefs or questions can be settled over netplay or in an offline FT10/MM. I'm troubled by the FT10s appearing in the sense that they are attempting to manufacture hype over players that aren't nationally recognized nor do we have any kind of attachment to. This isn't E-Sports Entertainment. If anything - we should take a lesson from wrestling and not do worked shoots or constant angles. There's nothing wrong with watching two really good players test each other - that should be the focus; Competitive focus.

I also think Star should get to talk more.

I had an exchange with her once - I don't remember what it was but I felt she was better than me at the time but she said she had a worse reputation.

HOLY SHIT! LOL! I didn't think it'd be invincible!

Loving Ryuuisou > Daisharin stuff. Loving corner puffpall stuff. As an aside - Ihave this terrible feeling that the day will come where I'll be like "yeah...I liked EX Litchi better". Someone please snap me out of it or shake my hand if that day comes.

Wow - two weeks? I said I'd go but looks like I have to train hard in two weeks. =O This marks nearly a year after I've started going - let's see how far I've come.

Processing as I post this, but it's up

Thanks for everyone that dropped in - I'll upload the event today.

Okay - well, I'm up and running http://twitch.tv/starsickle/

okay - I'll get things started - how do I get into the Skype chat?

Link to stream?

Play Ragna or Jin. I see lots of SF folks come to Makoto, as well.

You guys want a streamed blazblue room tonight?

GGs Amadeous and Brandino. I tried wakeup backdashes today but I still don't really know what to do overall. I'm out of gas tonight. Gonna rest now. Yes, I also want to work on Jam, though. I usually work on various techniques (kire tatami, TK youzansen, different BnBs from starters) every time I turn the game on. I play at campus anime club when I set up games for people. I don't really have anything down. I usually lose real matches by 80 seconds.

Updating: Star-Demon's Love Clinic Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/starsickle Time: Evening/Late Night (scheduled around 9PM EST) Frequency: Weekly Info: East Coast - Guests are welcome in game and on skype, all skill levels welcome. Ask about your problems in life and love, and I will try to help! I also love commentating matches!

I'm getting tired of getting teched out of Jump P after tatami. I need some straight facts over when to sj without tatami FRC, normal jump with and without FRC, and basically understand these situations for good. I'm getting blown up by people for still not having it straight and just doing things wrong.

My knowledge of mathematics tells me that this matchup chart requires more inputs and better use of proper methods.

I think TD will win. And yes I think he's just finding people to FT10 and then select from a large catalog of Option Selects.
