nooby question but are there any gatherings in the west coast area? Im in utah atm but Ill be moving (hopefully) to seattle soon -- when i was in china ppl grabbed you and made you join their version of MSN so they could coordinate stuff -- do we do anythign like that?

Thanks to those who contributed -- some of this stuff is brilliant really

played GG before and this was hyped up as a spiritual successor so I jumped right in--but mostly the need to actually learn your character

fuck me that explains alot .... that move set has been pissing me off for awhile now its been like I would get it perfect one game and another id drop it horribly >_< And to Lythium and Aile -- np i enjoy trying to help out my fellow players -- however I think I might've gotten alil carried away with you so sorry if you feel i was goin crazy there. I was on the verge of suggesting all my personal insane advices =P I wouldn't mind tossing myself on the chopping block but I lack the appropriate devices

well what works for some doesn't for others and in terms of risk i kinda have to reference to zong one who is often praised as a risk taker and seems to find ways to kick my butt online and gimmick my mind into the gutter. His play style is probably is impractical for most but is effective nonetheless- i imagine many of his skills are risky even for him -- however that doesn't mean we dismiss his advice or play-style as horrible because of the supposed risk Enacting a newly learned combo online / offline/ in tournaments is risky due to drops or w/e I often land fatal counters that lead to 6.6k and up combos in my matches but by nature landing a lone 6C CAN be quite risky -- i suppose that's by logic horrible advice too but it works quite well for me. We shouldn't be afraid or shun risky moves as a community - yes somethings are just plain bad - but if we have the mentality of "why risk the CH" we are going to stagnate as a community. Playing it safe is all well and fine but its poor fertilizer for expanding our minds. Lets at least be willing to discuss new ideas or even bad ones. We often are provided amazing videos by Pktazn or Jourdal were we see "risky" and "wtf how did they do that" fantastical combos and gimmicks that these jp players are managing -- lets open our minds a bit and believe westerners can do it too (or any race). Or even come up with our own ideas

The idea is in reference to a 6C hit on block (maybe i didnt clarify that) -- I'll agree its not the "safest" advice thats why i garnished my statement with (when you get good enough) but I (almost) guarantee you can bait it on nearly any tager like that -- I do it all the time but if your at distant 6C range whats the harm in doing it anyway? its not like tager will cross the screen in a few frames to punish you - in fact -- even at close range it will beat out tagers sledge hammer that might go thru your 6C -- but this is all anticipation based on personal experience I'll admit its risky even for experienced players but hardly horrible advice

well ill be a son of a gun -- suppose im a bit overzealous to help my fellow players

bah probably right - although you'd be surprised about the effectiveness of my bad advice - ask yuki lol

Im really taken aback by this but I suppose I'll clarify myself abit - if you read what I said it was about (please) not standing still "so much" as in there is far to much standing (still) both in advantaged situations and disadvantaged -- surplus. being grounded and holding you position is fine i never said anything against that Neutral situations are usually because someone has yet to take momentum - hence "dont just stand still" losing momentum can be devastating or i dont understand the terminology and your last point agi -- is alil redundant if you read the last line of my quote (just dont move-stand- mindlessly through the match) all points aside I play very aggresively with mu (probably due to my extensive ragna play) so toss a grain of salt in

ARG why are you standing STILL?! ... STOP IT !! also stop the mindless teching (especially vs tager ------> http://youtu.be/N_w7B_-QocQ?t=4m20s) you should always be more MOBILE... I see it quite a few times unfortunately WATCH Tagers spark-bolt gauge like a hawk IT PAYS and when you get good enough you can embarrass them by absorbing their spark-bolt with Origins.. sadly i think you were hit by every spark-bolt from the tager... Much like Pochp said canceling stein into stein leaves you woefully open and you eat that spark-bolt sigh like every time http://youtu.be/N_w7B_-QocQ?t=6m14s (perfect opportunity for 5C->6C-->habakiri but instead I saw 5C-->haba -- try not to miss those opportunities because they can lead to devastating combos) Too many times I see you (no offense) mindlessly running into sledgehammer, Tagers 5D, or something else... start approaching from different angles instead of the most direct one Also im seeing your not respecting tager's sledgehammer very well -- bombs are great but you gotta be awares (@_@) standing still mindlessly again http://youtu.be/N_w7B_-QocQ?t=9m33s leads right into astral http://youtu.be/N_w7B_-QocQ?t=10m33s double stein leaves you woefully open to ragna's godlike rushdown-- you need to respect ragna's ability to cross the screen and put you in a horrible corner or something I notice when fighting Ragna you manage a nice Laser special but follow it up with 6B -- when you have multiple steins and lasers keeping them in the air like that its easier to just land some simple J.C air combos to keep the pressure (http://youtu.be/N_w7B_-QocQ?t=11m24s ) 2nd round vs Ragna - it looked like you cowered in the corner there and handed the match to him -- i know that sounds harsh but you gotta do something-- anything -- throw out a fuzzy ball (w/e its called) a SINGLE stein-- or better yet my favorite of all techniques : the RCing Origins rush-- works like a charm my friend Dont be afraid to 2B a laying down opponent - especially if you know them to be laydowners...? whatever you guys call it (ppl who spend too much time on the floor) http://youtu.be/N_w7B_-QocQ?t=12m48s mindlessly rushing them like that puts you at a serious disadvantage (unless you really know what your doin or your prepin a nice bait) all said in done I dont think your scrubby or salty or nooby w/e in fact there are a few things i saw you do that I think can improve my own game but I URGE YOU to go back watch these videos yourself and COUNT how many times you just stand STILL @_@

i didn't know i was in a harem @_@ but then again i dunno if im interpreting this right i dunno what all these acronyms are

Got a room up and warmin up

rofl no problems ive been off BB for a week (taking a break from the rage) so im a bit rusty myself

see you there im goin to do dishes for my wify

sickens me it does to admit why do i never see you on XBL -- or anyone else for that matter i cant even find you on the leaderboards

why does this confuse me..... nice new avatar yuki (better than the old one of a crossdresser @_@)

I'll give you some real simple advice that can do you worlds of good : DON'T STAND STILL SO MUCH (caps i know...) but seriously you need to be alot more mobile -- mu's can benefit greatly but mobility and its a great way to get used to doing crossunders/overs. Keep moving -- do fake outs/ high jump/dash jumps over your enemy -- just dont move (or stand there) mindlessly through the match I am a 6C junkie and I notice a few times you land a 6c on block then let mu's animations continue .... that's a big no no.... anytime you land 6c on block -- use that opportunity to place a stein or if your gutsy an Origins (DP) -- if you feel they will rush up and counter your ass. Another easily change-able habit I see you have is that you often like the start Totsuka while right above the ground... I see in your video that getting punished all the time. stop that!! *smack* -- if your going to do an air Totsuka then jump way ass high so they have a harder time getting to you before your laser finds them (just not mindlessly please). Do yourself a favor and stop placing steins while very close to your opponent (while you can do that - its a bit more advanced and you gotta watch your opponent carefully) ------> http://youtu.be/r8i6DZbCu4M?t=7m22s (bad bad!! don't do that) Another thing --- stop mashing out recoveries and trying to always land a J.C or J.2C on your (quite mobile Tsubaki) opponent -- instead just retreat, get away and clear your head. ( DONT do this anymore! ----> http://youtu.be/1ZUqw9ufQVU?t=2m14s ) its actually alil painful to watch but cram that exp into your head

With only 2 moves to remove primers and one of them taking 2-3 seconds... This I'd like to hear about, although after watching that new vid landing bomb on wakeup should be easier than ever. I already use habakiri like it's goin outta style

Interesting of u to say but that mu was choppin out SoD as combo finishers and that's what i thought worried me. Slower SoD animation makes it wicked easy to DD counter on IB or w/e and I see that already all the time.....when I happen to forget my opponents heat. also I use lvl 1 swords all the time for quick choppin of primers Sometimes I feel like the only mu player on netplay these days which is confusing due to the activity of these boards. Everyone else Must be on psn

horrible noob mu but still nice vid Didnt - C0R suggest CSX like forever ago? ... that charge does look.... nice, and that fatal J.2C . Finally I can say im excited for some of these changes.. but still too many buffs @_@ ...wait did SoD look alil slower to anyone else.. am I missing something? (maybe the player just held the charge everytime...)

I suppose ur rite but I guess I'm just somewhat worried. You seem to make a good point and confuse me all at the same time

youll forgive me for expressing my opinion while being a noob to this forum but I just cant help but think this is no good. Yes theres all this awesome hype about all the sweet "ass" buffs mu is getting but from what Ive seen from the majority of the community here (our community) is that mu was already "just right". I cant help but agree with this conclusion and yet here we are getting new 2b dmg buffs (a primary combo starter for many of us) air DD and DP... and a few nerfs tossed in. Dont get me wrong it all sounds super duper -- but I cant help but feel this may earn us additional antagonism from haters and worse yet a horrible god slap when the inevitable patch comes for CSX. I dunno about you but i get hate mail all the time from ppl telling me im playing a broken tier character already (lols) anyway nice to meet all of you -- ive been following the forums for some time now
