Star-Demon

Second to last in both! T_T

Can I blame the TV for not button checking?

I like Litchi very much. I also like this game. I also don't think Street Fighter is for scrubs.

Any suggestions on Knockdown? Mine is kinda...well, It's the only one I know that works on people.

NO LITCHIS IN AMERICA WERE GOOD LAST NIGHT. WE ALL CHOKED. Yo I don't know how to play this char anymore. I'm gonna go to some mountain and meditate. When I come back, I wanna say "LIMITERS RELEASED" and IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

I wanted to see Stream chat and reverse streammonster you guys (I even brought a can of SWAGGER) but I got the feeling they wanted me nowhere near the setup. Next time I wanna do commentary. :P I was there, those two are monsters. At least I fought people closer to the level I wanted to play without them being monsters. Yes, I do wish to learn spacing. One of the things I don't get yet are how to deal with people that want Jam FAR FAR FAR away or try to bully the shit out of her because I am not good at defending myself. I'd like to figure it out, but I think I'd do better with some coaching. My favorite thing I've heard: "Your Jam is a mindfuck." :D These things keep me going. Once I learn how to do it on Jam, then Litchi and maybe Baiken and Bang will improve.

I kinda agree. After playing against so many good Nus and some good lambdas I kinda understood what to do better by CS2, and now I feel kinda..well. Weird. Don't forget she's a zoner - She's waiting for you to *try* to bully her. TBH I haven't gotten any solid advances on her that made sense and made me think "Oh, do that *more*." Again - I feel weird. I don't know what it is. Hit D lots! Got it. BTW: Is it me or does the staff mess with more stuff now? Oh yes. I used to think "Okay, she's gonna backdash, I'll forward dash and most likely I'll bully her." Doesn't work anymore. Which are those? Please try to describe moves that aren't ours. We're trying to learn one character at a time, here.

HYAPPU SHINSHOU! HYAPPU SHINSHOU! HYAPPU SHINSHOU! HYAPPU SHINSHOU! O MIMAISHITEAGERUUU~~! So Baiken IS hard? Why do I always pick hard characters? I can do twice the amount of damage with the same amount of meter in one combo. Yeah, I'd say "easier" = "Better".

**RESERVED - probably obsolete in a few months. Hellmonkey Nerina feel free to edit. :P ** Normals and Specials: Kabari: If you are reading this forum, probably nothing you don't already know about this move. It's slow startup, and while people seem to get hit a lot with it once it's out or even after you follow it up, You need to know if you're going to get away with it. Axl will beat it just like other chars would, except his chains are better. 2S: **RESERVED** Jumping: Don't press 66 once you press 8 or 9. Get ready to block. Hit S or HS once he makes a mistake. J.HS: Very useful if you understand where you are and where you are going to fall after Axl does something slow. Suzuran: Suzuran is useful in this matchup, but don't be too dependent on it. If you yomi a high attack from him, you might be able to get an advantage off of it. Counters: Sakura: **RESERVED** Ouren: Be very careful with Ouren in this match. He has many followups to moves that will stuff it, and Ouren might put you out of position with him. Ouren is useful, but as always it's one of the easiest to abuse. Youshijin: As useful as it is in other matches - just make sure the hit you use it on isn't a bait and that it WILL hit if you use it. Mawarikomi: Useful. Baku: All Baku cards useful. S AND HS. SEAL DAT SHIT. Getting out: Don't get out. Hold 'Dat and stay close - Beware his 2HS and 6HS (double low chains and hopping overhead). Getting in: Slow, but steady. Block his stuff, remember he has a few specials that will mess you up. If you jump, then think about blocking before you press 66, S or HS.\ On Knockdown: 1. Drop a tatami on his head. 2. **RESERVED** 3. **RESERVED** Remember: - Baiken thinks this guy has no balls because of his weapons. Just act like a badass and block his pansy zoning tools and smack the twerp in the face. - Axl has very few defensive options when Baiken is rushing down. - Baiken has many defensive options when Axl is rushing down. - Baiken should be able to win this match with solid play and some IAD Pylon Sword-reads. - Axl has to win this match with all in-reads and difficult confirms. STAY FROSTY. Problems: Axl can hit lots of S and HS and generally give you a hard time. Whether he knows what he's doing or not, the chains are long, they hurt, and they stop you from doing things and reward Axl very well for hits. Axl also has counters. However, *his* counters aren't like *your* counters. Bait a counter or make him do something stupid to you, and you'll show him who the Boss is.

I am very disappointed at how ass I played. It's like I can't get the limiters off, and it's frustrating. I really need to play PEOPLE more. I only dropped litchicombos twice, and that is not enough to decide any game as much as not completely tanking in terms of basic defense or attack. It's not the fucking combos right now, it's I have no idea how to play this game anymore. HOW THE FUCK DO I DO BETTER IN HARDER GAMES? Even though I lost hard, and brains turned to spaghetti, I'm glad how well my Baiken did, even if I got styled on. I still don't know why I do things I do sometimes, even though I don't know why. then again, I saw some..well..interesting...things happen to better players. I guess no one's perfect. I did not want to break out my Jam. Jam did not Debut yesterday. Some say my Jam is better than Baiken, I don't think so. I think Jam is just a better character. Shoutouts and/or GGs to: Eightman: I can't play the BlazBlue. :O DaiAndOh: You were cool. Lich: Meeting me in that bodega. Lich's friendwhosenameIactuallydon'trememberordidn'tget: You're cool. Biscuits: I never fought a good Eddie before - You gave me lots to think about. Eddie is *really* dirty. Quinn: I wish I could have played more. I guess next time I'll have to get a new controller so I don't have to rent and carry stuff around. SKD and Mahouko: You guys have too much energy for me. :P I ended up taking the D line the wrong way, then the N line the wrong way, so I got back on and eventually got back to Manhattan (so much nicer!) and grabbed a huge cinnabon (15 years since I've had one!) and a chicken sandwich and got back on the LIRR. Now - I shall pack up my console and games. I'm done for a while. If you want to play me, you gotta find me. You guys like my T-shirt?

Games played: 3 BlazBlue 5 Guilty Gear Games won: 2 GG, 0 BB. Guilty Gear is easier than BlazBlue.

BHDC|Star-Demon will change to BHTL|Star-Demon I'm up, I'm showered, I'm just going to grab some coffee and head to the station. We'll see if I get lost. It'll be an adventure.

Wake up at 5am Shower Gasoli~ine Drive Train Train Train Train Walk Wait outside Arcade Get Told. Doing it.

*shrug* don't know or trust anyone. I can go on my own.

Training tonight over at my stream. I've been playing story mode all day, but I DO want to get practice in before I get sleep - I have a very early day tomorrow.

That's the idea of using a train, right? I'm with lots of people going to similar destinations. We can't use a wireless controller, can we? Looks like I'm SOL.

No such thing. Be great or don't play. Trust me, you're only hurting yourself. PS: BHDC

I don't know either. Getting to the train station by 8ish results in a 3 hour ride that eventually gets me to 9th avenue at 12.

Oh man, according to google, if I leave at 6:30 I end up at NL at 12:03.. Better set dat alarm.

Ah - okay. So staff launch has more recovery - I'll have to stomp out the badly spaced staff launches I do sometimes. I've been doing bad kotes, more recently.

Cool? Can I see?

More detail on Staff projectile and staff CH plz. PS: I really do not like how much more difficult things are - I honestly don't understand the rewards I'm getting for all this work. Bey hey, I'm sticking to it, even if she ends up tager tier in 3 months. That being said, re-learning her has been a real frigging crawl, especially with no one to play. Printed out that list the other day and looked at it. Guesstimation on paper gives her average damage at 3700 - Throw out half the combos you'd rather not do and it's above 4000. That should be the goal. At least 4000 every time. If you're spending meter to get it, at least do one of the 50+ meter combos.

Same here - However, I've decided that I'll have to box up my TV, consoles, and games when I get back. I need to have everything packed up ahead of time. When I have a new place I want the Love Clinic to come back, better than ever.

In games, Not even 5% of your total community ever touch forums. Don't ever plan you playerbase around forum responses or input. Now imagine your top end players out that 5%. Yeah. The level of play people think games should be balanced, designed, and marketed around amounts to anywheres from a tenth to a some hundreths of a percent of the total playerbase. This is why you shouldn't listen to people on forums. I love this stuff, though. Fucking Casuals. Casuals everywhere ruining the genre. PS: I hate Testament.

Yo - my Favorite US Litchi says so.
