Mr OSD

Forgot to ask. Are you on XBL? Since I'm fairly new to BB myself you won't get ROFLstomped.

Damn I didn't even know there was a EU thread, I just assumed EU players were in the UK thread lol. Anyways XBL: XpeRt1ze Location: Netherlands

This.

RIP Yoko palette, you will live on in my heart. 7, 9 ,15 look really nice though. What is 12 supposed to be? It's just so fugly. Everytime I watch Goro play, that palette makes my eyes bleed.

Lol, I know all about it. The slightest bit off lag can mess you up so much with her. Same goes for Hazama's loop. I can do it just fine offline, but online...I'm not even attempting that anymore. As for beginning with Hazama, it's not that bad tbh. I'm just terrible at zoning lol. In every fighter I've played, I've always been better with rushdown characters. I really enjoy zoning, but I'm just not very good at it.

GG's Daedron. Glad I wasn't totally free like last time. Although my execution errors still drive me nuts. Thanks alot for the Tsubaki info and experience. I've had alot of trouble facing her for some reason, but now I'm a bit more comfortable against her. And I guess I'm going to put Hazama on hold for the time being. I've just gotten used to playing this game and I'm not ready to play such a zoning heavy character just yet (I enjoy Makoto much more anyways). Untill next time.

Thanks for the reply's guys. You'll probably see me here alot the next few weeks, as I'm struggling to learn this game haha. But if I understand the 214214D~AB OS correctly (with my limited knowledge of this game). If the opponent forward rolls, PF super will come out. And if they don't, you will barrier block? Or instead of barrier, will the asteroid vision come out?

Indeed, thanks for the reply's. Appreciate it. I never thought about using 3C, of course this is not something to rely on to get in but atleast it opens up another option. I realize now that I was air-dashing way to much instead of barrier jumping. Good to know tkj214D is punishable, I was not aware of that. The advice on 214A~CCCC was useful aswell since I can't seem to get that to hit consistently. Thanks guys. But I have some more questions while I'm at it. 1) When I get someone in the corner I usually go for 5B > 5CC > 5D > 2D > 2C > 236A~D > 66 > 5CC > j.B > j.D > 66 > 5CC > j.CC > 623C~D. But whenever I watch replays, I rarely see other's go for it. Which leads me to believe this combo is not optimal when it come's to the oki afterwards. So are there better alternatives for the 66 > 5CC > j.CC > 623C~D which gives me better oki afterwards? 2) Maybe this will be answered in my first question, but if someone rolls forward, is there a way to punish them for it and keep them in the corner at the same time? 3) When instant blocking mulitple hitting moves, do you have to block every seperate hit or does instant blocking 1 hit make it count for the entire move? Because I got really confused blocking Lambda's 2C and SAW. Sometimes I would flash white for the entire duration of the move and other time's I would flash only once.

I need some advice vs Lambda. I seriously have no clue how to get in vs her. It feels like every normal of her beats out Makoto's, that is if you even get past her zoning. And how do you deal with her blockstrings?

Gears 1 is my favorite. Game took skill, great maps and overall the community was alright. CoD4 as a close second.

Man it seems like everytime I pick up a character in a fighting game they get butchered by nerfs. First AE Yang now this? Damn my character selection sucks lol. Regardless, I'll still play her whatever they do to her. They can't nerf her lovable personality. And as long as I can play rushdown, it's all good to me.

It's not my only reason for not getting it, but I should have worded it a little better. When a studio picks up someone else's game I always feel like the magic is missing. Treyarch failed hard with CoD3, WaW. Sledgehammer ruined MW3. Ninja Gaiden 3 compared to Ninja Gaiden 2 is just an abomination. While still a good game, Bioshock 2 didn't grab my attention like Bioshock 1 did (Bioshock:Infinite however..). And arguably, look at what Ninja Theory did to the new Devil May Cry.

Decided to skip Halo4 since it was made by a studio that has never made a game before and Halo:Reach sucked so much ass I stopped caring about Halo. Might buy it if people are still positive next month (which I don't expect). I saw so much dumb shit in MP that can cause salt or is just plain stupid. Seriously a wall hack ability? That SAW ordinance drop looking OP as shit? A shield? Nah fuck that. I'll wait untill everyone's hype glasses come off and then they can tell me what they think

Really unsure how I should feel about Makoto now. Part of me is happy, but yeah.....beastiality. Hazama just has bad written all over it though :/

Sure. I'll probably be online around 7PM UK time and I'll most likely be online for the rest of the evening/night.

We're probably going to have to wait a year for CP aswell. Fun fact: Netherlands still doesn't have GG.

Fuck this shit. I'm seriously reconsidering if I should still buy P4A whenever it comes out. It's like they're trying their hardest to not sell shit in Europe. Stuff like this is unacceptable. WTF is taking them so long anyways?

I'm sorry, but Paranormal Activity 2 was trash. Boring, not scary and predictable. Someone seriously has to explain the appeal those terrible movies have.

Thx man ggs. Thank god you were on pad :P I noticed the same things as you that were messing me up. The shitty blockstrings is a result of SF4. I just keep doing SF4-like blocksstrings(damn you muscle memory). And indeed I keep forgetting my different gatling strings that can be special/jump cancelled. And when I finally did them I forgot the follow ups. About my neutral game you're exactly right. Hazama just feels so awkward. Shitty dash, Short range normals (besides 3C). And while his drive is insane once you get good with it, it effin sucks when you're learning the game lol. Another problem was that everytime I did try to get in, your normals kept beating mine. So I decided to switch styles and just focussing on finding your holes instead of creating them. It was also a good opportunity to start getting used to my AA's, because I started to see a pattern in the later half of the session. And yes, online is a ghost town which kinda sucks. But GG just came out so I'm not suprised. I do still find matches so it's all good. But I still learned alot and got a bit more familiar with the game. Thx for the matches and let's do it again sometime.

Sounds good, let's give it a shot (I'm Dutch aswell btw). But getting ROFLstomped isn't so much the problem. It's the fact that I'm completely clueless during it and I have no clue how to avoid it. As long as I get some feedback to work with I'm totally fine with losing/getting stomped.

Are there any EU players willing to play with a noob (if there are any)? I've been playing for about a week now and I have a little understanding of the basics. If I'm lucky enough to even get a match I'm just getting butchered online. Completely clueless on how to avoid/escape pressure. Got completely destroyed by a Tager whilst playing Hazama myself and I have a funny feeling it should be free for Haz.

Aight. I'll send you a FR around that time.

You can send me a invite when you get on the game. I have some new Yang tech I want to try out. How late will you be on?

Nope, still not available. I've even checked the site and it's nowhere to be found. I have a US account though so I'll be able to atleast try the game out. Just found it weird that it's still not available here. Thank God for the Dark souls DLC

So is GG actually available in Europe or do you need a US account to download it? Because it's still not available here (Netherlands).
