That's just machine-translation induced wackiness as far as I can tell, they just give a quick run-down of her drive on the Famitsu page. Should be more like: "Nu's drive Sword Summoner, shoots blades from thin air, allowing long ranged attacks. Using them you can keep your opponent away!?" Or some-such.

Does anyone have tips on how to get a reliable TK Crescent? I'm learning stick, and I can get it about three times in a row, then I won't do it again for five times. I seem to go either way of the sweet spot, getting spikes, or an aerial D, almost at random.

I'm available in Madison, on most weekends; though I'm *really* bad, so bare that in mind. This weekend wouldn't work however.

I would think that using the three japanese Lamba tutorial videos as a template would be a good start.

Unless someone knows something I don't, as long as both controllers are the same ie. both sony, both dual-shock 3s, etc., color makes no difference. I'd expect one wore differently than the other assuming that they are otherwise the same.

As a follow-up, I ended up buying a Panasonic 32u3 off of amazon in an inventory clearance-style sale. So far it seems fine, I'm no where near good enough to tell if it lags more than 1-2 frames but I've heard that it's supposed to be under 1 frame on avg.

I think Yoshiki is pissed about GodsGarden, lol. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16832634 (Yoshiki v. Ame (Lambda); Yoshiki v. Hane (Ragna); Yoshiki v.

Doraheeta (Plat)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAYOo3EENo4 (YT mirror of ^, via pktazn) That's right, Yoshiki had 3 OCV's in the one 3on3 tourney. Edit: Just noticed that his team had Kyaku (Ca), the guy who bumped him out of GodsGarden; plus a Hazama called Sekido. Edit x2, darn typos.

Looks like there is going to be a VF-FS tourney coming up on the 10th in San Fran. http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/314790/First%20North%20American%20VF5:FS%20To

That was an awesome vid. seems I'll have to look into this game a bit more.

I have to echo how awesome the stream was, though I slept through most of it the parts I saw were S-tier.

I'm looking at getting a small TV for BB, and unfortunately input lag isn't something which is commonly covered in reviews; however there are a couple of places which include it, though most seem to be British for some reason. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1131464 <- is a really long thread, but covers a large number of tv's, if you can find them in there http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=21497668#post21497668 <-current 32-37" tvs w/ low lag http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/sub-1-frame-hdtv-monitor-input-lag-database.145141/ http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1645885 <-is more geared towards pc gaming on a tv review sites: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/ http://www.digitalversus.com/tv-television.html finding the same model # for the US is something I haven't figured out yet. After researching for a while I'm going to look for a LG lk450 in the area and see if it would be ok, and how much it'd cost. Also, as I understand it, the 360 does its own upscaling, but the ps3 doesn't, but that should have minimal impact on performance.

I seem to recall that he's playing Makoto as well, but I'm not sure if it's permanent, or what. At least Yoshiki is pretty good, and is in a decent amount of tourneys. Edit: Well, Yoshiki didn't have too good a showing at GodsGarden, getting rolled by Kyaku's Carl, though he is a strong Carl.
