Yup. Ask me if you want some games, although there probably won't be any today, seeing as people shall likely be around for holidays. Also will still probably be using the pad for Blaz Blue: The stick seems to work far better with Guilty than it, and Platinum doesn't require any negative edgeing/ hold - release. Still, perhaps I'll decide to try some Arakune/ Rachel/ Carl (Although I can do O.K. with the latter two's inputs with a pad.), at which point I shall probably also try to use the stick with it.

Thanks towards all that I played yesterday. "You played well." I disagree. Strongly. "Your pressure was very predictable." Indeed. Throws would be fine, yes. Also probably best to learn TK swallow as well, considering how effective it can be. Also need to time 22C better, dropped it almost every time. "Is that an overhead or some - thing?" No, 6A is actually mid. Perhaps you were just crouching rather than low blocking? It would still hit within that case. Thanks for the Guilty Kanashimi. Your largest problem seemed to be that you generally didn't completely capitalize on all of your hits. It would be best to learn some combos. Of course, thats... Slightly patronizing, coming from the Dizzy player who needs only two varieties of combo: Basic knockdown (Which I did.) and bubble loop (Which I didn't, because pad. However, now that I have a stick, they shall be learned.). Most of her damage comes from oki setups, which lead into more knockdown, which becomes more oki ect. The best way to play against Dizzy seems to be offensively. I don't really see her having any - thing for getting away from devensive situations aside from double air - dash, so I'm not entirely sure how I'd handle large pressure. Thankfully, one thing I've realized recently is that I can actually be O.K. at blocking (Just not at not getting hit ), but still, more pressure is generally helpful. Also, you did use some very unsafe things as over - heads (Bandit revolver and whatever Ky's over - head special is called.), however, once I started actually blocking (I said CAN be efficient at blocking, not will.), and, there - fore, punishing these things, you appeared to quickly realize just how completely risky they were, and stopped doing them. All in all, they were some fine matches. I would like to play you again some - time. Oh, and happy X - mas, everyone.

Gratitude towards Hexanoid and Fistmaster for mostly taking me seriously no matter how much I sucked. I got the beating I deserved. Also gratitude towards Hex's near - troll bang almost perfecting Fistmaster's Mu. Was mildly amusing.

I liked Madoka. Also, Ninja Tree (Because your console name is better than your forum one, it would seem.), firstly, welcome (Lets be new together.) and secondly, please do put things like that within spoiler tags from now on. Spoiling the ending to any - thing is a pretty irritating thing to do, which I believe that most people here would agree upon. Also, Extend arrived yesterday. I believe I've got a better feel for the new Platinum now, so if any - body wants to play, just ask on XBL.

... Well, while I'm not entirely sure whether that's a serious statement or not, I'd be fine to play you any - way. I'm free all of this morning, however, I've got college within the after - noon, and a performance after that. I {I]might have the time to fit some games in after- wards, but I'm not entirely sure. Send me an XBL message if you're willing.

O.K., I've ordered Extend (Still have some birthday money from last month.). Apparently, the expected date is some - where between tomorrow and christmas eve. So, hey, early christmas present, I guess. And, talking about GG, does any - body on this board do at least reasonably well within it? I would like to play with some - one who actually knows what they're doing. Such things are rare on netplay, and scrubs get boring pretty fast.

Well, sorry if I feel I'm interrupting any - thing, but I'm probably free all of today. If your not, going to be just playing Extend, could I come for the session? I promise I won't suck too hard.

So, does any - one want to come and beat on me in GG (Or CS2 if you still have it and are willing to play?) Netplay is generally full of scrubs and people with sucky connections. It's getting lonely out here. Be warned, I'm even worse at GG than I am at BB, mainly because, as I said before, negative - edging with a pad is a bitch, and bubble loops require what is basically a form of it (Releasing S to fire the spear.). Send an XBL message if you are, because I'll probably still be touring netplay for the rarity that would be a decent, non - requested match.

So umm... Hey. Hello. Greetings. First post here, there - fore I thought that I may as well make it one in the local thread. Pretty much new to fighting games, only really been playing seriously for three months or so. Looking to learn, and seeing how utterly anti - social I am and the fact that connection quality with people from almost any - where else tends to suck, I decided to sign up and play with people from my own country, perhaps within person some - day. A quick run - down of things I do well and don't: Strengths: Execution (I've been playing guitar for six years, so I've never really had the trouble that most people apparrently have starting out when it comes to dexterity, although, seeing as I'm still on pad (I've asked for a stick for christmas.), negative - edging is still a bitch.), not doing the same fucking thing all the time even when it's pretty clear that it doesn't work. Weaknesses: Every - thing else. I own CS2 (Never really cared much to purchase Extend when I had other things to do, and probably won't now that CP's probably coming soon.), GGAC+, Skullgirls, and, if any - ones interested, KOF 98'UM, 2002UM and XIII. Location: Manchester. XBLA user - name: Same as my one here. Mains: BB: Platinum, GG: Bridget/Dizzy (Others are still sort of kind of undecided.)
