If we're driving all of these people, we're gonna need a 2nd car, haha. Jimmy, Setra?

Not directly related to AH3LM, but I'm going to be doing a netplay room stream tonight with commentary! Feel free to drop by and ask questions about AH3 and AH3LM if you're interested! I'll post here again when I start -- should be around 8:30-9PM EST.

I'd love to play with you 7th! Let's play soon and mash our Maries!

I think so? I know Crossfire had said he was interested in going but that means it would be a car of 5, which we can handle. I'd ask Setra or Jimmy tho!

Yeah, me, Setra and probably Jimmy are doing TSB this weekend. Achtzehn said he can put us up Saturday night so we don't have to drive back that night. Jimmy, if you are going, do you think we could crash at your place Friday night and then have some Kawaii International and then go to TSB?

In AH3, it does 13,800 (CH) and 16,800 (XH) raw, and it's been heavily reduced so that the XH version does around 8,000 (iirc) raw, making it more or less useless. The important thing is that the damage was heavily reduced -- some players still use it as a finisher though. Yeah, again, just be aware of it and if the player likes to use it. Remember, if they are doing the air version, they pretty much have to spend some form of meter to make it safe or reload, so you can take advantage of that.

I'm out this weekend but up for TSB the following weekend! Gonna bring AH3 up to TSB and see if anyone wants to wrangle!

236X is generally two to three characters lengths in front of her. If you notice the other player using that move a lot, just be aware of the range (it is a bit deceptive!). Also don't go flying right into it -- you can wait till it's just about done and then get Petra on the recovery. Just keep in mind that she can cancel into EX bullets charge from the recovery, and from there she can freely go into BC Dodge. Keep that in mind too!

Eh, Petra lost a lot of momentum in LM -- she's still okay but she's nowhere near as strong as she is in AH3 vanilla. As for 236X, it's an annoying move, but you just gotta watch out for it! Same goes for j623X! As for Yoriko spit changes, she currently has 5 jump normals mapped to the C button (j.C, j.[C], j.3C, j.6C and j.9C) and trust me, there is A LOT of input overlap with it. Changing spits to be BC will help Yoriko mount a better offense without having to worry about accidentally spitting.

I don't have a lot of experience with 3DF, but it seems Marie Rose doesn't really have good mashes -- PP seems to be the best one but everything else she has seems to be slower compared to the rest of the cast. She does have good spacing moves which give good reward -- also don't forget her Advanced Holds and her grabs which do tons of damage on Counter. This game is really fun though! I've been enjoying learning it!

Petra's zoning is now really strong too! ('.')b

I haven't been watching much but Kuroyuki seemed like butt in loktest -- has she been improved since then? I also obviously haven't played the game so I can't say much but it just seemed liked the character has issues continuing pressure because stance change isn't cancelable at all. Then again, a lot more assists have come out since then, so it's probably a bit more even for her. Still I've been told that Shana, Shana A (Asuna) and Shana K (Kirito) are still tops with Momoka more or less in the 4th spot. Follow by Kirino, Shizuo and Biri in no particular order.

Sounds like Achtzehn doesn't know about the carpeting.

Anti, can you PM me your cell phone number or Skype me today about the carpeting this weekend? Just wanted to ask some minor questions.

I'll come to TSB -- I'm gonna bring Arcana! I hope we can crash at Jimmy's before/after!

This game doesn't seem all that deep but beating up people with Kirino is gonna be really fun!

Also, that list above is for 1.03 -- most of the changes there still apply but the current version is 1.05. Here is the untranslated list for that update: http://www.4gamer.net/games/190/G019042/20131002067/ It was minor and only fixed some bugs.

Thanks again for watching our re-stream guys! We had a great time -- hope you all did too! Also for AH3LM, you can also split the cost with another person too, so there is also that alternative.

Cathy just had strong setups and setplay post knockdown -- if a good Cathy knocks you down, you might be a done man. This was mitigated a bit by limiting the tool by which she could enforce her mix-up (Chibigawa). Now she has a limited stock of 3 per game, so she can't mash the same setup back to back to back. Otherwise, Cathy suffering from being a large character, which can be quite the disadvantage at times.

Her worst match ups got a little better (Scharl, Cathy) but they're still far from great. Petra rushdown was toned down quite a bit but Dorothy is quite a bit stronger now. Kira does have the tools to deal with the entire cast though, so she should be able to deal against Dorothy (get it? )!

Yeah, Kira looks really strong now! Got a bunch of buffs and her bad match ups generally got a little weaker!

One more day till EXAMU Cup! Hope you guys are as hype as we are!!!

If I haven't given up DoA by then, I guess I'll play that.

I wanna go to hang out -- I'll see if I can't crash with Comic or Achtzehn or something.
