anyone on dustloop complaining about people theory fighting about bbcp should just be pointed to this thread where we are discussing parrying parries

only top 3 >: i wanted to know where i placedddd.

Exhausted. Very fun weekend! Looking forward to next time :v Shoutouts to great BB matches in spite of low turnout!

two pages late: i can bring my recording equipment to UCC if it is desired. after the fact I will probably start bringing it to beatups since my only basic reason for not doing so is i'm too lazy to figure out how to take it apart/carry it efficiently

Anyone playing at the moment? Need to dust off for a local.

i'll whine about haku nerfs when they're live.

Don't think I can make it out this Saturday--excited for UCC!

Who all is setting/has set up rooms for UCC? Mightfo is in need of a room to stay in if anyone still has space!

GGs to Eric and Sunfish for last night's BB matches. BGs to getting towed.

ggs to people on the blaz setup today!

we got loktest tier lists

6C and Tsubaki were rarely used midscreen for their corner carry aside from the high-execution midscreen Tsubaki combo. 6C was not able to be followed up outside the corner and did not give oki. CS1 didn't have slide, come to think of it.

Wasn't it reported that projectiles hitting parries could be blocked? j.C wall stick seems neat, interested in seeing what sorts of combo paths that opens up. While I do not personally have as big a beef with their balance direction, the main issue between versions seems to be that every single time they display that they have no idea what they want to do with the game's mechanics, always whipping out brand new ones and suggesting drastic changes to how characters work. They do not always work differently, but as you've stated, there's enough being jerked around that it is a significant turnoff for some. BB strikes me as the type of game that does not know what it wants to be. And I'm actually the opposite with Crush Trigger; it sounds nice in concept, but I'm really skeptical about it being good in practice, especially for Haku.

sob at least make it not CH through the entire move. ): I didn't get the impression that Renka Kishuu combos would still be worth doing with the current changes on the table, but it's not as if we've seen any numbers / those numbers aren't final anyway.

or for any other likely logical reason. they could be simply withholding information because Big Secret either way I am not personally paying much attention to their apparent absence until much closer to release

Pretty much this. Though I had a reaction towards them changing j.2a for the same reasons as everyone else (a frowny one), it doesn't mean he's not going to have new combo paths that may be just as good or better, pending on how you are looking at it. Making him more midscreen-centric does not mean he will not have corner combos necessarily. This sort of thing comes up every loktest. They changed Tager's collider combos (finally) in CSE; this isn't really different, except Hakumen is only on the fringe of getting a major combo overhaul until CP, it seems. Either way, new combos are fun. Hopefully they aren't terribad. I don't particularly understand putting extra start up on 6d--what is 5d for? Either way, removing the ability to frame 1 high attacks damages his defense, as he would have nothing but Yukikaze to stop meaty overheads on wakeup.

Buffer the 214 214 for Mugen while charging 6C, hit B after 6c hits don't mash other than that it's just trial and error / remembering what order of specials it wants. the timing for mugen -> renka (1) must simply be learned

I had also assumed it to be the catch was special cancellable. Either way, it'd be situational at best since it's his overdrive, as the opponent may become overly cautious of parries once triggering it a la Mugen. I feel like being able to special cancel it only after the attack would be pretty useless as his overdrive. If it were a general change it would be more believable, but this is something you are likely only going to have access to once per match.
