Tigre and I will be getting in around 4 or 5PM, Achtzehn -- is that fine? Also, can you PM or text me your address?

Sure! Let's play at some point! Add me on PSN!

Probably gonna take Friday off for Training Mode and then head up to Achtzehn's for games.

Not a bad idea. I'd be down for that!

I'm down for Achtzehn's!

Just a reminder that I'll be streaming netplay tonight at 9PM at http://www.twitch.tv/nadakaineko!

So after a lot of match play with Yoriko, I can say she's definitely still a strong character, but a lot of her ways of brute forcing in on opponents have been weakened, making it overall a lot harder to play her in LM. The hardest hits were most likely 3A, which now has sizable recovery (a whiff can be pretty easily punished now), and all of her pented specials. I'm not sure if there was a hitbox reduction on her powered rushes, but they definitely seem a bit off compared to vanilla. Conversely, the recovery added to 421X is very substantial - it can no longer be used in closer ranges as a spacing tool due to all the recovery they added to it. Additionally, 5C no longer has frame 1 clash on it -- it's been moved further out (it feels more like frame 4 onwards now), which makes that defensive option worse as well. All in all, it has become a lot easier to abuse Yoriko on whiffs and her defensive options have gotten worse. She's still a fun character to play, but neutral can be suffering a bit -- you definitely have to play the character a lot more solidly in this version to overcome strong players. As for the 6C change, I've found out you can still convert off it the same way, you just have to be faster. For those that don't know, 6C was given a close version for some reason which is harder to combo from, but it's not impossible. That's all I have for now!

Also, there will be a FT10 between Comic-Z and Fujiwara Thursday at 9PM on http://www.twitch.tv/nadakaineko!

Remember that our monthly is this weekend, and the next weekend is TSB! Let's try to get a good group up there for AH3 and BB!

ggs guys! Had a lot of fun!

I'm sitting in the diner finishing my breakfast now, so I'll be there around 1PM, I think!

Oh shoot, Iora is coming?!

Let's keep the conversation on Zenia character strategy and discussion - we've strayed a bit from our original path.

I think what you mean is -- was Bullet influenced by Zenia? Probably a bit -- Zenia predates Bullet by a long time. lol

lmfao

Sure! 1. I am really a fan of the revival of Arcana Blast (Extend Blast in this version). I think it's a great alternative defensive option which gives a lot of the characters with poor defense a little more breathing room. 2. Yoriko's undocumented 6C changes. It makes it much harder to convert close 2C confirms into damage for seemingly no reason. It's quite annoying. 3. A lot of the things that made Yoriko strong have changed - mostly things have recovery added so I find myself getting punished for things in situations where I wouldn't have been in AH3. It's perfectly fine though, just still adjusting to it! 4. I'm surprised it took them 3 revisions of AH3LM to finally address Nazuna's Mirror super. lol

GGs guys! Sure Bill! I'll get ya in the rotation - trying to make sure that the people we have play aren't too far apart so the netplay isn't as apparent! Also Frost -- if it permits, I can get ya in next time, I just wanted to make sure the EC players I was inviting got a consistent good connection. Connection between USA/EU can be dodgy at times, as you know.

Might be coming up this Saturday, depending! If so, we should all mash and what not.

Just confirming what Rei posted above - I'd love to do a free lobby on Tuesday (contact me for entry) and a FT10 between other players on Thursday every week. That would give me time not only to host, but also to commentate and analyze the matches as well. Rei, I'll talk to Ken this week? Maybe it's time for your re-match FT10 in LM this week? :o

http://www.twitch.tv/nadakaineko AH3LM netplay stream starting now!

unreal philly players

Setra/Jimmy - shall we discuss our plans for this weekend? *tips fedora*

Just as a note, I'm going to be doing netplay streams Tuesday/Thursday at around 9PM-11PM every week, so hit me up if you wanna play! I also netplay during the week normally, so hit me up if you want in on that too!

ggs guys! Had a lot of fun! I'll be streaming netplay on Thursday as well, I believe!
