I've figured after reading some of the frame data that since Amane can cancel into fabhop/Empty hariken, raw frame advantage isn't super meaningful since you'll rarely end at a normal that isn't 5D. But trying to assemble everything together, there might be a use for this. Stop me if what I'm saying doesn't make sense, but in the scenario where you want to fabhop in > j.B > Grab mixup attempt. Wouldn't the tech timing "fabhop > j.B > j.A > (Land) Grab" be different enough to be considered a TRM setup considering you could grab faster with "fabhop > j.B > (land) grab" ?? Even if the difference in timing for that, you'll have to assume that they'll want be standing regardless of j.A because 1. you're in the air, natural reflex and 2. It's less risky for them to stand as there is no reason to eat free 1.5k combos. Assuming this standing state, 5A is guaranteed and at +3, it leaves you the best of either going for absolutely free pressure (5A > 5B > 3C, etc) or to attempt a throw/TRM/mixup. It's pretty straightforward, but it seems to have more potential regarding what j.A implies the opponent has to do while blocking to avoid free damage. As an overhead tool, it's pretty weak to crack up someone's defense, but as a tool to keep the opponent guessing about whether he has to deal with the mixup or more pressure, much more interesting. The maintenance section you proposed makes so much sense, but the only thing that's keeping me exactly from adding/constructing right now is in what form it would be. I want it to remain as fleshed out and editable as possible. Since everything you do is dictated by your current drill level, I'd organize all moves with a quick summary of their pressure/mixup/knockdown potential. Something like 1-2 quick sentence(s). After that, you list the drill meter impact on either raising or maintaining your meter management. Makes it easy/fast to list and understand notable potential by drill level of tools listed upperhand in the main post. Not only that, but it would accomplish a wonderful job of tying everything up into a nicely fleshed out closure to the main post. I'd probably get started on cleaning the current drill section to put some of the information there in this "maintenance" area, but would probably invest a lot more time into that after ECT. Of course, anyone is still free to provide it if they want, I don't want this to be MY guide if it can be accomplished. By the way, when I say invest time into ECT, I don't necessarily mean write it by myself, I also mean cleaning it up to have the most organized thing as I have a few ideas for the layout and text formatting.

Tried that didn't work, shouldn't be related anyway as php code that gives a link to the chat is not dictated by cache. Plus, tried accessing the old URL for it, told me i didn't have permission to access it. Privileges maybe?

Chat link changed? Not visible to me to say the least

I'll add the 5B > 5D thing into the drill pressure section As for j.A and it's use as an overhead. The only way I see it succeed as an overhead is when you chain something in the fashion of j.B > j.A. This alone forces the opponent to stand if he's to block some air approach because you'll have plenty enough time to land from your jump and link into 2A and get a combo on a standing opponent with a bad starter and bad scenario for more-than-average rewards. I don't think it could hit low enough to be used as a fuzzy and Amane probably doesn't even have setups for that nor would it convert to anything other than Gosei knockdown. Really I feel j.A's only pressure aspect is the fact it forces to block high every now and then, but it's not a threat. Logically speaking, yes putting on drill pressure implies having some sense of drill management. I agree 100%, but I more or less see it being discussed and developed in terms of the neutral game and not the pressure game. If you're just going to pressure and need to manage the drill, just switch what tools you're pressuring with no?. Though I do am interested in what you have to say regarding it since I might be missing out on something. "Once the game is played outside of japan" lol EDITS: 15/05 Added some slight details according to what was shared regarding drill management (or my idea of what was missing/could be added)

Don't do it man. I'M TELLING YOU DON'T START DISCUSSIN HAKUMEN'S EFFICIENCY OR TIER PLACEMENT. Don't do it, it keeps happenings, I told you about da hakoomanz, I told you dawg

No sir... I'm sorry sir... That won't happen again sir...

Lol though usually Foonzo accomodates to the demand by offering a different menu on tournament day. But the good news is that fries are back :D

I'm slightly closer to the venue than St.Laurent at 170 the night for something that seems decent. Also st1ckbug got a room at the same place. Anyhow zzz time, waiting on reply from the other 2 guys for now

Hmmm let me check with Bill307 and RyanKen if they take the offer I gave them at Toryuken2 since I offered them first (No confirmed yes on their part). I booked a room not too far from Foonzo (20-30 minutes walk distance) for scenarios like this knowing it'd happen. If they're not taking the spots, I'll let you know. I'll try and give you an update on this by next week. For the record, I'd still ask some sort of contribution for your stay, it's not bad compared to other hotels downtown that weekend and I don't mind being a "little" generous about this.

Is the Kaeru that made the stick art (he did if I recall correctly right?) included along the package?

In there tomorrow. Gonna grab as much sleep as I can thursday (and this week as well) instead so I don't get DQ'd for sleeping this weekend (and for the ride as well). Speaking of which, what time do you want me to get off work? 3pm? 2pm? Would be nice to dodge late afternoon traffic and try to reach the border ASAP so we don't end up stuck there waiting for too long. Also, pick up at one's location? Drive to get everyone?

Give them to him at ECT, you're still coming riiight?

This calls for another DOA 5 Worldwide major grandfinals

You know what I'm used to be allowed to do? Drinking.

;_; I'll stay in the room for casuals waiting for you guys to comeback sipping on my ketchup ;_;

On another note, for Toryuken 2 Hotel : 200~ + parking fee (20~) Gas : 100~ I know it's a tiny bit less than the actual value, but 80$ rounded is fine by me

We need some road to umad tourney before umad. I was thinking of running blazblue this sunday and strictly that. Most likely not a BO1 single elim. I'd run guilty gear the week after ECT. That or vice versa if some players can't attend one or the other.

In there tonite

Do you mean the whole input sequence or just like one part in particular? I mean there was a bunch of stuff used, empty hariken cancels, fabhops, j.B > j.2C > j.D (hold until landing) On another note, back to what's this thread's about 05/05 Tachikawa 5on5 Hina (AM) vs. Hazure metal (AR) - Youtube 04/05 Sasashima 2on2 Amane vs. Mame (Taokaka), Mu-12 - Youtube 04/05 Playland F1 Casuals Amane vs Tager - Youtube Amane vs Platinum - Youtube Amane vs Relius - Youtube 17/04 Gamechariot Set in between shadow and Hazama player Shadow (AM) vs Hazam - Nico - I think nearly every match Shadow got drill level 3, he won. 05/05 Ethan (AM) vs Azrael, Ragna - Nico Ethan (AM) vs Tager - Nico - Match at the end of the video

Summer jam confirmed for me not celebrating turning legal again in the states. TSB August last chance for that

For the sake of convenience, they are now up on Youtube since this morning thx to Jourdal . Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Exact. friend of mine studying in TR (THAT IS NOT NEDEL) coming back that very weekend.

Let me specify then, my only weekend available IF and only if we want to set it up before UMAD. We can do it afterwards and heck even Brice would be there considering he voices interest from another continent entirely for this lol
