If Taiga isn't playable, I literally have no reason to play this game.

Do you remember the method I told you about in IRC?

Messing around with Installing mid combo. Came up with these. Fan is literally my favorite item to do this with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFi4VUv2Npc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4RHEHVIE94 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHJSYJIUhtM

You know, I've never seen that combo with the presents. And putting more thought into it, I should be utilizing presents more effectively. I'll work on that. Having presents in my hand vs certain characters like Valkenhayn feels like I'd rather not have any item at all. Since he can get over to me so fast, I have prioritize dropping them somewhere effective or just getting them off me so I can find something better suited for the situation. I've never seen this I Can Fly CMV before, I thought I'd seen all the BBCP cmv's already. I have to download this one and take what I can from it. And you're definitely right about being able to get advantage at the very least. I'll take Oki over damage if I absolutely have to. This is what I like about the character overall, though. The amount of tools she has, though situational makes her super fun to play.

Yeah, I had no idea what to do really and you're right. The times I just decided to try my best to RTSD I think I'd won pretty well. There was a match where I decided to just not give her room to breath to the best of my abilities and she didn't get to set up. Those 6C's in strings were sometimes misinputs and other times intentional. I wanted to see if she'd press any sort of button there. Either way, I'll note that it's not very good. I know that already since I normally get AA'd out of it or I lose my pressure. You're exactly right about my playstyle there. I didn't wanna get lockdown so I was jumping since I felt like it was my only real option. I didn't wanna mash since I don't know where the gaps were. Though I remember a time or two where I mashed and got results. I don't really know what to respect and to disrespect on Rachel's strings. I specifically remember a time during that set where I had bat and was forced to block about 6 overheads. I was mashing bat during that and it was airtight. I'll try to work on everything you've said. I've had this J.C syndrome forever haha. It's really something I should work on. Thanks for the advice.

Super audio desync. I need new capture software. Just turn the volume all the way down pretty much. this was my first time fighting a decent Rachel in a long set. And the view is pretty small. I hate my current capture software :v Gomen

My personal opinions/thoughts on Platina’s Overdrive: Magical Heart Catch Gives her an infinite supply of the currently equipment item for the duration of OD activation. Personal opinion on the OD: Very situational and by the time it becomes of any use, you’re better off saving your burst. Due to the ability of the OD, the properties of Platinum’s moves and properties of her items, it’s hard to get any real USE out of the OD. Items that can be combo’d off of without CH Pan Bat (Corner) Bombs Missiles Presents EX Hammer This leaves Hammer Kitty Hammer You’re not comboing off of these outside of CH. Meaning, their uses end your combos for the most part and outside of J.Hammer, where the hitstun is height dependent, but the proration is the same. On Kitty hammer they can immediately tech after getting hit. Uses of items in OD Pan: Once you have pan, you have access to infinite instant overheads. This means you’re pretty much running a 50-50 mix-up off blocked/hit 5A/5C provided you get in. On top of this, you can hitconfirm an air-to-air into OD and continue your combos with pans to spare at the end if your health is low enough. You can combo into a lot of shit and you have a lot of places you can OD cancel once you start your combo. There’s SMP involved, so you’ll only get one of each grounded and jump D’s. Bat/EX Bat: Infinite reversals and wallstick in the corner. Platinum having no super legit defensive options now has a DP that sits down with her in exchange for zoning ability, meterless guardbreaks and a long-ranged poke. EX Bat gets you wallbounce off J.D and much more hitstun off 5D. Which is fine by my book. Hammer/EX Hammer: Infinite guardbreaks. If they’re blocking you, it’s because they’re barriering. You’ll be pushed back hella far, but it’s +1 and you’ll be within 5B range and some 2A’s won’t be able to hit you from there. Obviously you have your abilities to combo, but you can’t do Hammer twice in a combo. Ex Hammer is lots of unblockables which means you could make your opponent jump more at the least, plus you get decent damage off UB starter. Presents: *Somewhat* useless as they’re very easy to get around, have little hitstun attached to them fullscreen for confirms. Setting one in a specific spot has huge start up too. I sometimes do 3C > 214D in the corner just to get rid of them as quickly as possible. I personally hate normal presents with a passion. EX Treasure Chests: Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Treasure Chest Loops. Learn them. Learn the coolness and swag that is treasure swag loops. 5f start up. 5 frames. Active for years. YEARRSSSSS. HUGE hitstun, air-unblockable and gives frame advantage on block with amazing vertical range. These are the absolute god. Very much worth OD’ing depending on the situation. Bombs/EX Bombs: Lockdown with 214D and lots of chip and /blockhitstun you have to play around with. Many arcs to fire from, Missiles/EX Missiles: The same as bombs, except you now have horizontal control over the field. EX 214D is less useful than normal missiles 214D, though. Kitty Hammer/EX Kitty Hammer: Long ass poke, you’re running a 50-50 once they’re within 3C range which you can confirm off of with 236AAB. The thing is that, regardless of which Hammer you hit with, be it EX or otherwise, outside of CH, you’re not going to get much off of it. But it’s definitely enough to strike fear into the hearts of most BB characters. Because getting hit with an 11f overhead with halfscreen is never fun, right? Points where items become useful in OD Pan: You get at least two free pans on 50% OD onward if you do Confirm > OD > Pan depending on your combo route. You’ll have your instant overheads during the entire time. Hammer: 50% OD and where you’ll start getting get use out of this too. Missiles/Bombs/Bat/Treasure Chests: Lowest health OD is where you’ll be getting amazing uses out of these items as you can kinda spam ”forever”. Bats can be baited, but so can all DP’s. They (should) be baiting a lot more if you have infinite bats. Treasures chests get good use at 50% OD, but you get longer/better loops at very low health. Kitty Hammer: 50% spam overheads, but it’s never really worth it imo unless you have a life lead and don’t want your opponent near you at all. Using OD in general You’ll normally want to use your OD off a hitconfirm so they cannot burst your combo. Doing 5B > 5C > OD cancel is perfectly fine if they’re low health or very very close to low health and you want them dead or maybe you just want the corner carry. But if you want actual use out of it, meaning where having infinite items gives you a decent reward, you’re going to want an item like Pan or Bat. I personally love Pan the most. Since it’s super easy to turn into damage, combo into and combo off of. Once you hit 50% OD, Confirm > OD > Pan gives you one more free pan after this to do as you please with. This means you can turn air-to-airs into damage. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-xt5o0UVU4 My personal gripe with OD is that it only feels really useful for certain items. My personal definition of useful being items I can turn into damage. Throwing infinite missiles across the screen is all fine and dandy, but what am I getting off of it? Yeah, I get some lockdown and I can run in for a mix-up. Things move back into my advantage for a bit. Throws will be purple at that point. You can TK swallow moon 50-50 really quickly to try to go for corner carry. If they get hit with it, you can get alright damage and a knockdown. Bombs are the same thing except with more aim and less horizontal control in exchange for ‘pinpointed’ vertical control. 214D spam means chip damage and lockdown for 50-50’s and purple throws. Kitty Hammer I’m not going to get damage or setups off of outside of CH, which is something that isn’t guaranteed. Hammer is the same case, but I get guardbreaks and at least get them to use barrier if they don’t wanna get hit with one. Other than that, I’m not getting damage off of Hammer really outside of an air-to-air confirm. Pan and Bat are my absolute favorites because I can at least get damage of air to air > OD with Pan midscreen and corner and with bat in the corner. Treasure Chests just do everything. Platinum doesn’t really get new combo routes in her OD because the properties of her items aren’t changed. Everything keeps its SMP on it. You just get infinite items and that’s it. So using her OD like say Ragna or Noel obviously isn’t possible. This means she literally gains nothing from using her OD except the ability to stop you from bursting which is fine at the end of the day. My plan is to find uses and tech using the OD in the form of Combos, Resets from here on in. I like the idea of Platinum at least being able to turn OD confirms into damage or at the least game ending combos.

I'll see if everyone is solid for saturday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ill be getting more involved with es laf again soon. If anyone wants to get Tae'd lemme know.

Ive actually been trying to make Plats OD more useful. So far ive gotten this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-xt5o0UVU4 Imo, Plats OD is very situational and by the time itd get any usefullness (low health) youre likely better off saving your burst anyways. I'm trying to find more offensive uses for it. I.e- Damage, kill combos, air to air confirms. I think I'll do a small write up on my thoughts on plats Od when I have my laptop available.

A new patch to mess around with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any particular reason I'd get a white screen and then a black screen? The game isn't coming on for me.

Can't play today. Family wants me in Delaware.

Order is Nemesis, Me, Winty

I'm here and waiting.

Hello.

chrono send me another friend request

Nemesis first, I'll go second and Gio can go last.

Well, actually I'm here now. I can play at this moment.

If he's not around by 3, we're going with MAceofhearts

Okay, now to hunt down Winty.

GGs to Nemesis. You make me force my brain on to adapt or die. All those times I was reacting to that overhead, but I was hit the first time by the time I was reacting :V Stupid 6B

Baattoouuu we have a 4 or 3 or something. We should play sometime
