What kind of stick is it? Depending on the model a dial mod can be really easy.

Jumping in regardless of experience is no issue at all, the experienced ones are usually looking to teach those less experienced, though it's definitely recommended that you get ahold of your own controller

His backdash is currently very, very good to where you can't really meaty it outside of the corner, you'll need to chase it down.

^ I have no complaints about getting my own backdash nerfed when it's hitting Azrael/Kokonoe as well, lol.

The smaller launch might even make some things easier, for instance off a corner airthrow I usually do BE > 5C > 6A > TK BS, it will probably take out the need for manually delaying the 5C to get the right height.

Awesome, do you know if there's any issue with connecting 5C/5D with the tiny extra bit that microdash adds?

If you're really looking to pick up stick and think you'll stay with it, it's worth going ahead and getting a good one. Starting with a meh one and trying to improve it will end up costing more in the long run. I would recommend a Qanba Q4, it's going to run about $140 probably, but works on both systems out of the box, has the standard Sanwa parts, a great case, and plenty of room inside to work if you want additional mods at some point. For comparison, even if you find a TE for $100-120, you're going to have to shell out at least an additional $35 to dual-mod if you get an 360 version, $60 if you start with a PS3. If you for sure don't think you'll ever want one that works on 360 you can just keep an eye out for coupon codes during majors in a MadCatz TE/PRO series. This guy also makes a reasonable starter stick, it's $40 for the stick itself, then you'll need to spend an additional $60 or so to swap in actual good buttons/joystick(the stock ones are pretty crappy).

I'm wondering if whatever hitbox change they're making for that will also take away the instances in which GH could cross up.

I'm actually really cranky finding out that that wasn't universal lol, I've died soooooo many times to getting DS at the end of a combo instead of DID at a really inopportune time XD

I would pay money for DLC that let me select the CT Astral theme, that song was the entire reason I started playing FGs in general

Are there full translated notes posted anywhere but SRK yet? That's like the only FG-related site that's blocked by my work filters lol

No, currently 6236 gives priority to the quarter circle if there's overlapping moves with the same button. Best example you can test it is probably Ragna, if you do 6236D you'll get Dead Spike instead of D Inferno Divider...in pretty much every single other current fighting game, and every previous version of BB, the opposite is the case where the DP takes priority over the QC.

Have kind of a good example of what not to do followed by what to do, last week at our local I got bopped by respecting his tools too much and not going in and controlling the pace with 5B, then ShinSyn steps in after me and shows the correct way to do things: www.twitch.tv/ignitegl/b/502443981?t=56m45s

Ahhh thanks, I understood the Google translate of everything but the Belial Edge one. I wonder if you can still hit 665C/5D where you currently can. The DID change should make Fatal combos a little easier it seems. Character-specific changes aside, the overall general input changes are going to be really nice for DID/CS.

Yeah, oftentimes there's netcode improvement, but only because the PC port comes at a later time and the devs have had more time to play with it and make slight improvements. Who's coming out for challenge night tonight?

There's not anything specifically special about a game being on a PC that gives it inherently better netcode

Great games last night guys, most progress I've felt like I've made in a single night

If you're doing it after 214B 214D, make sure you're entering the 214D as soon as possible after the 214B. If you delay the 214D you're more likely too cross under and/or whiff the 6A in my experiences, if you hit it ASAP then do 2147D you should connect the TKBS consistently. I also had trouble with 2147D at first, what seemed to get it is that I delayed it just slightly into after the 6A, I think the problem may have been that I was mashing it out so fast that I was getting the 7 input prior to 6A's jump-cancelable window.

I'm not sure if they even did loc tests for her at the arcades(is she console-only?). You're definitely right that there's limitations to what a small group of internal testers can find; though at the same time unblockable super setups into 6k were found in what, like 15 minutes after she was released? Who's braving the cold tonight? By some small miracle my car actually started.

Yeah I noticed that after the TKBS in the corner there's actually very little pushback from the 5B 5C 5D(2), or even if the TKBS carries all the way into the corner(I believe it should almost always if you are hitting them near the starting position) you can just do the 5B without the microdash. I think the only difference in what I had last night was that I didn't have the extra 5C after the HF > 5B. My only gripe is that's kind of a difficult combo(relative to the rest of Ragna in general) for only getting 3k~, but still it's not bad considering the 6B starter and the amount of corner carry you get.

What's up with Chicago and Amane lol?

If you bait a burst, does burst cooldown have counterhit status the way most reversals do?

After watching the DTN footage, I liked what SKD was doing with dashing under into the corner, then IAD back out crossup DID RC, but I was having trouble getting it to come out. Do you input the DID the same direction your dashing, or back the other way? Like should I be doing 96623D, or 96421D?

I was tooling around last night and came up with this exact combo lol, it should probably corner carry enough from anywhere midscreenish to get a 22C in before the DID, yes?

Shoutouts to everyone who showed up and made FFVI a great event. Except for RifleAvenger and the other guy who beat me at BB, you guys are buttholes. :D
