At first I was like "what the hell?" but then I was like "Ya, that pretty much sums it up."

Good Games guys. I'm really happy that I can actually react to Orgia mixup for at least part of it. Playing online makes you doubt your ability to block sometimes. Also, I like Shane. I hope he'll hang out once CP comes out. Sorry if I came off as an ass there. Ruben's been so adamant about Pain being amazing that I knew he would enjoy being right.

As I'm sure you're aware, tatsumi style is two hits on block. The chair that comes down second does not track onto you and moves backwards. I haven't really practiced what would be optimal for narukami here but I'm sure you could just dash forward and 5A and then go into oki. You probably have enough time to 2B or something better instead, maybe 5C. I'll check this out soon. edit: OK so you have a substantial amount of time to run forward and punish this. Keep in mind that he's vulnerable but wont be CH. I would suggest (dash) 5C > 214D > OMC or OMB combo if possible here. 50 meter is an easy 5K, throw a burst in there for 7K+ Also, the chair will hit your persona out of 5C if you don't dash in deep enough. Don't worry because you have plenty of time. Doesn't work in the corner though, so you'll want to use 5B instead. If you'd prefer oki or don't have the resources for big damage, (Dash) 5C > 2B > 5B > 2AB is 1.8k with oki. It's better than the 1K you would get with other starters.

I was talking to Jimmy, assuming he was proud that I edited the previous post at the time instead of posting again. Seriously though, you wont be disappointed with monster. It's beyond good. Let me ask you. Since apparently Dave didn't go, who do YOU think won? You of all people. It wasn't even a competition at that point.

For watching Monster or are you poking fun at my double post from earlier? Seriously though, Monster is literally the best anything I've ever watched. And the only reason I know that the finals already happened is because I found the results online. That ruined my whole viewing experience if I could ever even watch it. The stream archives exploded.

Monster is so good though. Worth every episode. NCR p4a finals should be on soon here right after MK is done. http://www.twitch.tv/iplaywinner Edit - I guess not, it already happened. Stream schedule I read must have been wrong.

What does it matter? It was faster than editing in a quote. Didn't realize that it was such a horrific thing.

Gettin my hopes up man. edit - It's like saying you're off work for golden week and then not taking me to Junes.

Well now I'm sad. Fuck Facebook.

If you have to ask, then the answer should be yes. Unless you're taking the bus, because that would suck. How early can I show up today?

GGs to TheMarvelousCoot last night and anyone else I'm not thinking of.

I didn't have time to watch all of the videos but I was able to watch the entire GF match before I went to work. Having played as Kanji a lot (My original main woohoo) I can say that you know the matchup very well. You can't believe how helpless Kanjis can feel when nearly every panic button they press is baited over and over again. Honestly, I don't think I have the capacity to be so patient in some situations. I saw a few situations where you blocked a DP and got hit by his super cancel. When that happens he can cancel into either one of his supers. If you jump you will get caught by tatsumi style. If you block or punish you'll get a command grab super. A DP or Ziodyne work in both situations and punish if he does neither. Also keep in mind how much meter he has, whether or not he's in awakening, and if you crossed up (Do a max punish if he's now facing the wrong way). One final thought I guess is that I don't believe most kanji's do this or are even aware. So it might be best to see how much you can get away with. As I'm sure most of you feel too, if we aren't going to kill then it isn't worth it to waste meter for a super ender. Here you probably should have just gone for one final knockdown instead or used a OMB if you really wanted the kill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=186s I wont talk about certain dropped confirms because we all have it happen and we all recognize what happened. This as an example I guess http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=259s Good burst bait xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=279s You could have 2C fatal countered here for big damage and corner oki. Something like FC 2C > (dash cancel run to corner) 5B > 5C > j.BB > j.214B > stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=394s The super cancel here probably wasn't worth it considering the meter used and the positioning afterwards. If you would have just let him tech after the CH B+D you would have had a knockdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=684s I'm sure you knew it at the time but this block ziodyne against Kanji isn't safe. luckiliy he didn't punish it properly here. All he needed to do was EX yolo dive OMB or OMC for big damage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=697s CROSS SLASH! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xG4v18ul48w#t=741s Good job overall. I hope some of this stuff helps.

Bryce ordered our copy already. He said it was from yesAsia but he neglected to tell me how much he payed.

Eric, I'll help you with that liz matchup tomorrow. I don't play either character, but if there's anything I know, it's how to fraud out liz.

Man I really want to say that it isn't punishable after absorbing projectiles, I just haven't seen it happen. I really wouldn't be surprised if it was fully invincible until the end of recovery. Again though, I didn't look into this or anything. I guess it's just me being optimistic. Don't quote me on anything until I play this for myself.

I don't remember which part of the tournament it was but don't forget about the Chicken McNugget sauce policy.

I'm with you there

Bryce isn't backing down so we're getting the LE. He wants that artbook really bad but at least I can probably get the figurine.

Is there any guarantee yet that this wont be region locked?

Bryce and I will preorder it as soon as we can. I'm pretty sure they'll run out of LEs too quickly though. Screw waiting for games.

I was just pretty excited to see a tool effectively neutralize one aspect of another characters game. Similarly, I feel like the first Teddie that realized he could B+D all major forms of oki. It doesn't make the matchup free, but it's certainly good to have After thinking about the matchup some more, I feel that Azrael may be able to fair pretty well with arakune in neutral. He has good air to air normals that hit a variety of areas (j.C looking like it could be good here) that seem to be good for jumpy arakunes, where CH could potentially lead to big damage and 2 weakpoints with a rapid. Considering our high damage output and how scary we can be once we get in, it could be pretty one sides once we lock arakune down. Please take this with a grain of salt, as well as anything else I post. Given that we don't have the game yet, it's only speculation until we get an abundance of good footage, especially with how rare arakune players are.

I'll be busy over the weekend. Those damn real estate classes.

Ggs to xNaCl and everyone else in Seiryu's Domain today. The gauntlet of Narukamis was quite fun.

Ruben, Ruben, Ruben... Did you see? Ruben I used facebook. You'll let me come over early friday now, right?!?
