I'm going to try to make it out there, if I do this will be my first TSB. I'll probably be looking for people to play Xrd with me and help me learn the game, as I'm new to GG (and honestly might as well be new to FGs at this point).

I really, really hope that DI is good. Ride The Fire is incredibly hype and I'd be very sad if we never got to hear it because DI just wasn't worth using.

Has there been any news about one? I asked Aksys on twitter, but they never replied. Also, has there really not been any news about a Japanese console release? I've been keeping up with all the news and I don't think we've heard anything? I'm kind of hesitant to preorder before I know whether there's going to be a CE or not and when the US release will be in comparison to the JP release.

Does anyone travel to Next Level regularly from Westchester or have experience doing so? Need some advice on how to get there, MTA trip planner gives me an approx travel time of 2 and a half hours and that's just one way, which is kind of ridiculous. Getting desperate to find some offline action, nothing happening in my area at all.

I was just checking out the Bullet alt color palettes. Is it just me or is one of them supposed to be Motoko from Ghost In The Shell?

So, A Coup... is there a definitive list yet of who it's safe vs or is it just generally unsafe against the whole cast if they know how to play? Was actually playing some good people for the first time tonight and they were punishing my A Coup on regular block (Akihiko, Kanji). I did read in the matchup thread for Akihiko that he can punish it every time, but what about the rest of the cast? I've actually been using A Coup to pressure and get in close, so now it feels like I'm actually learning how to play Mitsuru for real.

Soo... where's P4U being streamed at? It's not on either spooky or 8wayrun right now.

So whatever happened to this? I'm in Westchester, Dobbs Ferry actually.

Would Next Level be the place to go to learn P4U and other anime fighters? I'm located in Westchester and it'd be like 4 hours total to get there on from the train, 2 hours each way.

So like... what is Chie's standard bnb at midscreen for damage/oki? The first page has a lot of combos posted, but it's hard to tell what you should start off with and practice first.

So, I'm learning Makoto's bnbs and the first one I come across, 2A/2B > 5B > 5CC > 214A~CCCC, is a little weird. It's very easy, but the Asteroid Vision seems to randomly drop even though it feels like I aced it. Is this a little wonky or am I just messing it up? I get it to come out like 80% of the time, but the other 20% it just drops and I can't figure out if it was late or early 'cuz it feels like I did it spot on.

Hey all. I'm new to BB and of course, Makoto. Are there any tutorials or "getting started" guides to playing her? Any general tips would be nice as well, I'd greatly appreciate anything people can give me. Thanks.
