Edit: This tournament has been canceled on account of the tremendous amount of snow rushing down Baltimore. We will keep you guys posted with rescheduled ranbat information as soon as we know.

High level Marvel is too cool for school. Granted, Guilty Gears tend to come out the way the somewhat like the developers intended them to, whereas Capcom produced a phenomenal accident. but Marvel can be some good. Like that Omega Red player from Japan who came to Evo last year..

Please Mooshi-Q, do not feed the trolls.

Tron totally does not get the ladies.

Assuming I've got the time and money (likely), I will be at Evo again this year and I will definitely run Singles and/or Teams. Hopefully I can get a little bit of help this year, last year was insane and I totally crashed and burned that night in sleep mode for like 12 hours lol. But Guilty Gear, main tournament or no, will happen. And if you want you can also party like a rockstar after games with me yeaaaaaaaaaaa (and my sidekick spirit juice)

Potemkin's kinda rough. For oki super delayed orbs should beat reversal backdash, you can also do a j.S and if it whiffs due to their backdash you can land and get a guaranteed 5K into combo punish. Potemkin's 2D / 6P is really what will give you the most issues in the long run, especially because 2D comes out so fast, deals with a lot of your moves well, and 6P is one of the best anti-airs in the game against ABA's j.H. f.S is a big risk to throw out in this matchup; its heavy recovery is too risky to throw out a lot of times. 5H, on the other hand, does a great job. Jumping at Potemkin is obviously a risk, but if you bait a 6P, you can double jump over and land a j.H if you've got the right distance. Don't do two hits of rekkas. Don't do unblockable unless you are seriously feeling funky fresh and they are not good. You can do three loops of dash jump j.S HS D Orbs after a throw on Potemkin. Also don't you dare be afraid to throw Potemkin; if he backdashes your throw he might recover on top of the 5H, and if he tries jumping in the corner of course he has to deal with the upward swing of the 5H. Reversal danzai against a knowing Potemkin is an extreme risk, since Pot can reaction Hammerfall right through it if he's got the charge. A nice little side note, ABA is very difficult for Potemkin to barrier trap because she's ABA. Basically ABA v Pot is; fight starts in Pot's favor, ABA has to find a way to transform safely without Potemkin punishing with some form of knockdown (Slidehead from even max screen range, anything else up close), and if she manages to make it into Moroha mode a comfortable distance away from Potemkin, then and only then is she at an advantage. At this point you pretty much need to play it as perfect as you can, not getting knocked down by slideheads, not FDing 6H, punishing reversal backdashes properly, etc. If you get knocked down you are obviously in a horrendous position. In short, get at that Moroha neutral game in a safe manner, then play a super tight game.

In one hole and out the other! GGs to everyone, was great fun seeing all you guys again. It was just like old times with Mamation having exciting matches and Eli whiffing Wild Throw combo. Two dollar Guilty Gear made for some big lols in figuring out the copious amounts of cash to distribute. Next time we run this, I'd like to also run some form of team or gimmick tournament, time permitting. Good games again!

See you guys there at Noon tomorrow - especially if you guys want to get warmed up etc. PS Tsak where the fuck is your bro and is he ever gonna be in MD

Two days get hype!

ABA's pressure game is; If they like swinging back, frame trap them with 2HS / 1Hit Rekkas / 5S or Jump Reset, or 2HS / Rekkas FRC (Preferrably 2HS FRC). If they like backdashing, use 5K or 2HS. If they like jumping, use 2S or keep them pinned with a j.HS. If they like blocking, use 5D, Unblockable and Throws. Get creative from there. You can JC 6HS, 2HS and c.S. 5K is at least neutral on block, I think +frames from memory, so you throw out a lot of them, sometimes with gaps to throw them off. Mix up tick throws for both early and late in your blockstrings. And orbs are fantastic. For fuzzy guard, a non-OTG keygrab is generally an ideal setup, as is a butt knockdown. The mixup is A. Dash jump j.S, JC j.S, j.H, land, 5K. (Fuzzy Guard Overhead -> Overhead) B. Dash jump j.S, land 2K, 5S. (Fuzzy Guard Overhead -> Low) C. Dash jump j.S, dash in throw. D. Dash jump pause Orbs. (If they try throw, you get counterhit orbs) E. Dash jump land throw. You can also do funny variations like dash jump j.S j.P j.K JC j.S j.H depending on the character and how slick you are.

It's been a long time coming, and now this January will usher in the New Year and a brand new series of Monthlies in Baltimore. Come to Xanadu Games Saturday, January 9th, 2010!

GUESS YOU DONT LIKE GIRLS ps I'd count on Fists of Fury

Henaki is the coolest MD bro that is actually not from MD He is also the Second Worst Slayer in the World©

I will most likely be going for Tekken. Spirit Juice, you are godlike, we are going drinking together, preferrably with Wuku, and getting mad women like we did last year. Caesar's Palace, woaah. Fuck MMs, let's shoot craps imo

Hello everyone, NECX was a lot of fun. I played a lot of my new game (Tekken), my old game (GG), and played a single SF4 match, a Cammy mirror with Sanford (lol). This tourney reminded me that GGAC will always be awesome. Had a blast playing everyone in tourney and casuals. Specifically at A3 and all the New England kids. Shouts to Zidane/XaQ for taking care of bidness, Marlin for picking Eddie instead of Slayer (free for ABA), MATT COMA + his Millia for holding it down for MD against Marlin and Chaz in teams for reals <3, Mulligan for overcoming his ABA complex, Matt Frank for "The Frankinator" long jump crossup j.HS land OHK technologies, ppls who enjoyed the disgusting ABA combos (and ignored the dropped ones), and most importantly Stickbug for giving it 110% all weekend and really getting shit done. It's pretty much a thankless job, but every single GG player that was there appreciates the time and effort you put into making sure it all happened. NECX Results for tightest hoodie: 1. Moroha with the stylin Black and White stripes 2. XaQ close second rockin black and gold Bottom Tier: Light Nazgul hawaii shirt GGs, see you all at Evo, possibly Final Round. And Tekken is GDLK.

Second hit of Rekkas is too short a stagger to do much of anything with outside a mixup unless your opponent is clueless/frazzled. If you're asking if the third hit groundslide gives you enough time to run up and IK someone if you're already in IK mode, it would be extremely unlikely.

Hey Eric, add Moroha to Guilty Gear and Tekken 6. Can't wait to get in some good AC matches, especially the Jersey cats I haven't played. I'll probably be getting there Friday during the afternoon; if any of you guys are trying to play some Gear then in your room, PM me with your Cell# so we can meet up and get games going. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Just depends on your tension, that combo is one of the best. Pretty sure if you're feeling nasty you can 2H, Butt RC, TK 2hit Orbs FRC, falling 2hit Orbs, land, 2S 2x Keygrab on him, pretty sure it hits even a super heavy robot.

I will be making my first major appearance since Evo at NEC. Driving with some MD cats and we will be bringing that Guilty Gear and Tekken comp like fire. See you all there

He lost to that Testament 2x. Wuku was really on the ball day 1, the only person that beat him in our pool was Flash, and he beat Jan twice. I think he lost to Marn's Jam in Top 8. In other news, GG 3 needs to happen. Now.
