NorseFTX

The latest count on GameFAQs players who might be interested in joining is something like 20 players, actually, so I think getting enough people isn't an issue. I'm joining on the GameFAQs side as well. It'll be like, the first tourney I'm ever going to use stick for. Hopefully a month is enough training time XP (not sure if it will be, but I will try). How many people are up on dustloop's side?

No problem--! Hope you're feeling better. I'm still totally up for more UNIEL.

Omigosh, really--!? I...I would be honored, although I don't want to slow you down. Would it really be okay? ;A; I've got to pick up my stuff...! If we're making a Skype group, my Skype username is the same as my Dustloop name (NorseFTX). Feel free to send me an invite.

I'd love to join--! Is there anyone who's willing to join with me? Do you guys have a Skype group or something?

Sorry I didn't show up--! Ended up with PSN login issues and didn't make this time. Thanks for hosting the tourney.

Let's do this--! PSN: NorseFTX Location: US Southeast (Georgia)

Sign me up! Excited to see some awesome players. (And I will prolly die hard but it's all good) PSN: NorseFTX State: Georgia Time Zone: EST

I'm up for this! Count me in for whenever it ends up happening. I still am terrible at CP, but I'm excited about seeing awesome players and getting my butt handed to me flashily. PSN: NorseFTX

Thanks for hosting the tournament--! The tournament had a bit of a rocky start (postponements etc.), but once it got started, I had a lot of fun. Everyone is amazing at this game =P Congratulations to Givinguponlife! (Don't give up--you're too good to give up. =P)

I'm still in! 3:00PM EST today, right? PSNID: NorseFTX

Name: NorseFTX Alias/Title: NorseFTX Colour palette you use: Default Tsubaki. =P Your combos(Max of 3): 1) Midscreen (50 heat, no charges) : tk j236C CH (hit opponent in air near ground) > 3CC > RC > 2CC > IAD > jCC > 5C > 2CC > 236C > 214B > 22B (4021 damage) 2) Corner (50 heat, 1 charge) : tk j236C CH (hit opponent in air near ground) > 3CC > RC > (pause) > 6CC > 623C > j236A(w) > j214D > jD > jC > (microdash) 5C > 2C > jC > jCC > j236A > j214C (5259 damage) Any other random comments: Just a random thought to try 3CC'ing after a j236C CH, and it WORKS, so I thought I'd share. It's just annoying to hit on opponents that have weird air hit boxes or land quickly, like Tager. (And wanted to thank you guys for the tips you gave me in the Tsubaki help thread from ages ago as well~am excited to be a part of this!)

Woohoo~ Count me in! NorseFTX Tsubaki // West

I agree with a lot of the points people brought up in the topic so far. I generally think, in the end, anything goes online, though there are a few things I've seen that people agree upon. Besides the no ragequitting / mic spamming people have mentioned, there are some other things of etiquette I've encountered: For the sake of allowing players' networks to synchronize, people generally will let the full match introduction play out. People usually will pass after they sweep a room. Sometimes it bothers me if someone sweeps a player match room and does not opt to pass. --But then again, since they did win, whether they want to pass is really up to them. =P People mentioned being double-perfected in here--I'm not too bothered by being double-perfected. But I'm new still, so I kinda expect it. =P I think I've been double perfected at least 100-200+ times. >> It actually bothers me more when someone decides to switch characters when they're doing well against me. I WANT MY REVENGE GRAAAAH! *twitch* ...Though I sometimes wonder-- Is it actually rude to stay and take up a player slot if you suck too much? =X I...I'm trying to suck less! I swear!

Awesome! I should be able to be on this time. NorseFTX (Tsubaki) for US West. And Psykotik, I'm actually going to be moving to the East coast for school this summer as well. =P So I might end up starting to enroll in Danisen East when Fall hits.

I'm here at the last minute as well (I didn't find out until just now--!) But I'm west coast. And I'm still scrubby. Everyone in West Danisen signed up right now is 3rd Dan or higher. XD I'm staring at Neo_Zeromus_X's room in the lobby right now. =P It seems as though West Danisen is not able to happen today due to the low number of players. Is this right?

Woohoo! Count me in! This Friday at 7:00PM should work out for me. PSN ID: NorseFTX (West) Yes...! I wanted to see the awesome West peoples' matches as well. =P

Ack, sorry about this, but I actually will have arrangements around the event time on Saturday, so I don't think I will be able to make it this time. Good luck to all who are participating--! [Please remove me--West Danisen, (2) NorseFTX]

Whee! Here we go again! West Danisen PSN I.D.: NorseFTX Character: Tsubaki State*: CA Time Zone*: PST I don't know how much of a change there'll be from last time. XD

XD I probably need to try to do that a little more, since otherwise I'm wasting the time I spend charging. Right--when I watch people fight Arakune, I see matches turn around quite often when Arakune lands an attack with curse up. I'll be careful. XP I notice pauses in some Arakune players' pokes during curse, almost as if some of them seem to time their overheads so that if it hits, it'll go into something that does like 6000+. I don't know what the timing is, though, and I feel like I probably should learn it so that I'll know when to watch for the hit. Alright! Yes, I probably should. I do practice different blockstrings, but for some reason, in the midst of a battle that I'm particularly tense in (or if the opponent does something that catches me off guard), I stop thinking ahead. And when that happens, I suddenly can't think right at all. At that point, it just becomes, "Ah! Th..they're crouching! Must press overhead button!" Then, the moment I see the slow 6A animation play out, I think, "Agh! What am I doing!? I just did this a second ago!" XP

Thanks so much! I'll take a look at that beginner mode series thing. XD Arakune match - Work on antiairing. [...] I really do need to work on this. When I see an opponent jump, my reaction that happens without thinking (rather than 2C) is...to also jump. "Wait for me~!" XP Must break out of this habit. Mu match - You used 6C>623C>j.214C as an ender. Never do that. [...] XD Alright! Yes, I kind of felt in a weird position whenever I ended with that. Tao - When you get a j.CC confirm, you can almost always land and then continue comboing. [...] Mm, alright. I tend to mash C in the air without thinking, and sometimes I need to delay the second one a little so that I can combo when I land; I'll keep this in mind. 2nd Arakune- you were doing like 5BB>5CC>623B/C a lot. [...] The 623C was intentional; not doing anything after that was not. XD When you see that, it's a failed >j214Bw. =P You need to work on bursting in general. [...] Also, work on just confirming into proper combos. You'll be amazed at how much easier matchups can get once you make time to get charges. XP Alright. And yes, I'll try to end with the ground 22B or something like that so I have some time to charge. I have this habit of going in the air with everything. #1: Your defense is way better than I was expecting! Go you! Ah...! Thanks! I still have trouble with crossups, however. =P #2: 2C anti-air is a crucial skill to learn. #10: Did I mention 2C anti-air? Hahah, right! I will work on this. #3: Hsss,the lag, it hurts us, my precious. It does. =P #4: I'm not sure I really endorse the 6C> 623C> j.214D corner ender add-on there. XP I'll try to avoid it in the future. #5: Nice fatal counter 3C hitconfirm! I need to work on not mashing out the 3CC myself. x.x I did the air combo rather than the timing-strict double IAD one after 6C that can do ~3400-3500. =P I think it was possible to add a j236A before j214C, too, but bleh. #6: You're kinda mashy on wakeup in the Mu match [...] If you're going to 'wake up' with an attack, you want to do 623A. XD I need to work on this. I'm terrible at DPs or reversals in general. #7: You're kinda too passive I freak out mid-match easily and start playing defensive until I realize I'm in the corner and I have to do something, and at that point, I think panic sets in 'cause I start mashing. XP I'll...try not to let that happen too much. #8: You're doing 5BB>6A too much, so that Tao is just jabbing you out. You need to mix up 5B > 6A, 5BB> 2A, 5B>2A, 5BB>2A>6A etc. Right--! I figured I shouldn't do it again when Tao poked me the first time. Head not working =P #9: You probably don't REALLY want to be using j.236C for jumpins so much - it limits what you can do afterwards to j.214X, mostly, unless you get a Counter Hit. Try just jumping in with j.C Okay. I don't know why I like j236C so much. #11: USE your charges for something! This I must do. I sit on them based on some inexplicable "I'M SAVING IT FOR AWESOME" mentality and never end up using them sometimes. XP

I'm a beginner when it comes to BB and fighting games, and am looking for tips on how to improve my play. Since I was feeling gutsy, I've enrolled myself in the recent West Danisen online tourney, and videos of my newbishness have been uploaded for the world to see; if you've got some time, please critique to your content! Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8AAlL-KxXM The matches I am in are at: 2:00 6:54 14:26 17:45 I've started playing BB when Extend came out on 2/14/12 and have been practicing daily. As mentioned, I'm new to fighting games as well, so any general fighting game tips are welcome~ There are some really obviously silly things I did in there that I can only really blame on nerves (this was my first tourney for any game I've ever played as well =P). I've been having a lot of fun with the game overall, and look forward to working hard on improving. Thanks in advance for any advice!

PSN I.D.: NorseFTX Character: Tsubaki State/Province*: CA Time Zone*: PST Excited for this! I'm still a beginner, though. I hope my amount of fail will be entertaining to at least some people. =P
