Well now that we know that French Bread is working on the Dengeki game, I can't imagine the console port is going as quickly as I hoped so no surprises that we haven't seen an official announcement yet. Hopefully, we can get one by the end of the year with a release date.

Oh, cool. Thanks DerQ. Another awkward moment prevented ^,^

That cookie game Brice was playing yesterday was so great. I couldn't tear myself away from it. The wait for the golden cookie was hilarious. Maybe it's because I've only known BBCS and BBCP but CT looked weird, lol. It looked like Bursts took all your barrier and put you in danger state? Jeebus, bursting must have been a pretty pricy move back in the day. Thanks for the SG matches Dom and guy whose name I completely forgot to ask for! Can't wait for the Squigly console patch so I can start playing this game regularly again. Need lots of practice against Painwheel. Thanks for the BB matches Dom, Pochp, Airmaster and Bibi. It's always pure lolz playing you Dom though the Hazama matchup makes me cry. Those matches against your Valk were pretty nice Pochp. I'll have to try and get some more matches in next time since the Valk matchup is still pretty ??? in my head. Fighting your Lambda Airmaster brought back fond memories of my friend bodying me repeatedly with his lambda for the last 3+ years. Someday, I hope to break out of this Lambda/soon to be Nu again hell XD OMG Bibi, I didn't even know Makoto could have such scary pressure until I fought you last night. It was quite impressive. Well, back to finishing this day of work so I can enjoy a well deserved 3 day weekend. See you guys at the Mashfest Sunday for +R and the trip down BB memory lane. Be sure to bring your favorite 1980s/90s flashback montage theme song! I weep for your loss. I cried myself to sleep the day I had to cut mine for job hunt purposes.

Didn't even know the anime started until I saw all the commotion on dustloop this morning. Got to watch that tonight. The screencaps of Rachel in the Rachel forum look amazing.

What AMB Bakery said pretty much sounds like the best idea. Additionally, you can ask prototype to add "Other Known Aliases" next to the name of Notable Players in the OP so that people are aware.

It would be amazing. People who play her in UNiB would be able to claim that they've been maining Marie before she was even playable when she finally does get added to SG, lol. That said though, the more that I think about it, The Legend of the Skullheart theme doesn't point to any specific character since music tracks are assigned to stages, rather than characters in SG. Marie would still be a pretty good pick though since from what I heard last, she's pretty popular in Japan.

If Marie ends up being a guest character, my hype for the PS3 release will grow 10 folds.

Hmmmm, I see. Thanks for the advice DerQ and Kaeru. It's very helpful, especially point #1. That clears up a lot of things I've been wondering about.

Yesterday...went slightly better than last time! Only slightly though. Thanks for all the tips Sam and Kirbster. Unforutnately, after sleeping on it, I now have a lot more questions! lol. But that'll have to wait until next time or I might be able to answer it myself with enough thinking and experimenting. Thanks for the matches in GG Level5. I need to dig up some +R Baiken vids. Can't quite put my finger on how her combos are supposed to work in +R. Also, thanks for reminding me about her command run DerQ. I completely forgot it even existed. Still need more time to figure out how to use it best though. Also, nice seeing you again, Heartless. Might have to take you up on that $8.95 offer. My Tager MU experience is non existent, lol. 3 weeks until CP. The year long wait is almost over. For some reason, I have a very "is this real or is this a fantasy?" feeling about it XD

This month's mashfest sounds pretty cool. I've got 1 week to try and fail at learning a +R Baiken combo. Ugh, I was hoping to never remember CS1 Rachel ever existed ;.; I'm pretty hyped for Calamity Trigger though. I never played it. Also, if a Ragna-Only Extend tourny happens on Oct 17th, I'll be counting the number of Inferno Dividers I see for lols. A more traditional tournament that night would be a nice warm up for BBCP, in my opinion. We should try our best to have one.

lol @ Maximum Dunking. Yeah, I really like M Shi neutral. It's pretty on point. Didn't know 0 is an Order Sol player, probably because I haven't really started following GG until now. Can't remember his Bullet since it's been a while since he's showed up. I think I'll dig up some of his matches and watch them again later. With 3 weeks left to CP, it's just about that time to start reanalyzing all the Bullet match videos again. Say MC out loud, then say M Shi out loud and then listen to your heart on whether they're the same, lol. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure they're the same person. He's one of the only Bullet players who uses the regular Palette #1. That moment you highlighted is indeed a very good example of an interesting decision. I didn't catch that the first time I watched the video.

hmmmm, maybe I'm being overly considerate about this? Oh well, that's pretty much how I roll. I'll wait and see how things turn out, at least for a bit. I'd like to get things settled before October is over but stuff happens. Thank you Psykotik and DerQ for sharing your personal experiences and perspective on tournaments. I'd love to hear more of those stories some day DerQ. In other more immediately relevant news!...there's a trivia night at Foonzo? O.O Never knew.

Thanks for the thoughts on travelling everyone but it's mostly the thought of an actual good/decent player not going because I decide to go that bothers me. I think a better player would enjoy the trip more all around. I'm definitely going if there's room for me when the dust clears. Also, Germany FTW! Pffft, if I want to sightsee, I'll just watch landmarks get blown up in a Hollywood Blockbuster :P

Indeed

Thanks for the informative wall of text DerQ. Think I'll just wait and see if there's still room after everyone else confirms their status. I'm interested in going but I'm 99.9& sure that I'm the least deserving to go, lol. Worst Case scenario, I'll try and tag along on the next MTL Field Trip.

The latest M Shi vids are pretty good. It's been a pleasure watching his Bullet evolve over the last year or so. Wish we could see more of him and Keita though.

We're making good progress on that NA +R patch. We went from no news to sometimes this year. We might actually get this patch sometime in our lifetime now. Also, yay, my sparkly brand new passport arrived in the mail today. Any room left on the boat to NEC?

Just posting real quickly to say thanks to everyone who brought us info and did translations, especially Omex for compiling that really well structured google doc. Everyone looks to be shaping up quite nicely after this loketest. Can't wait for this to release in arcades this winter so I can drown myself in Labrys videos like I did with P4U.

Best buff of the loctest! Now all Atlus has to do is find a way to get the Heaven and Striptease theme into the game and we're set. Thanks for all the info/impressions stunedge. As for the Tsurugi change, I thought it was a bit weird at first but after thinking about it more, it's just a part of ASW's crusade to weaken oki all across the board.

That's sad to hear even though I never went on Tuesdays. A moment of silence for Tuesdays. Going to have to make Thursdays and Sundays count twice as much.

Looking over some of the new loketest change notes. lol, I love how Purepure is describing stuff as cute. Glad j2b has long untech time. I'm hoping Air Guillotine not comboing into D or SB Beast is just an issue with timing. If it's true though, I can see this change staying. Being able to do SB Gear > Dash up [5B] is interesting. Hopefully, this means there's more than enough time to dash up and do a mix up if you catch them with this on block. The size of her new bubble move changing based on a C, D or SB input was unexpected. I hope we get a screenshot or video of the C version eventually. I want to see how small it is. Thanks for the info. Also very true. I'm in the same boat as you. I'll be playing Labrys regardless of how she turns outs

As far as NA release goes, I like to see things like this. If things are going well, we'll get news of a release date by the time the JP version releases. However, if the JP version releases and we still haven't heard a thing from Aksys or ASW US, then we better start bracing ourselves for the worst.

That FT5 money match sounds amazing. I will definitely be there for that.

Round Robin sounds interesting. I'll keep my ear to the ground, listening for possible events. Living at Foonzo for the week of release sounds just as much fun. Better make sure I still have my sleeping bag XD

Actually, we start in blue axe now so it's not quite as good as it sounds at first glance. One thing this change does have me curious about though is whether you start with blue axe but are still always gravitating towards green axe or you start with blue axe and gravitate towards blue axe. True but from what I've witnessed of previous loketests, changes like these that are more of a change to the character's playstyle usually tend to stick. Personally, I think it's more likely that they'll do additional changes to complement/supplement the change to her axe carry over than revert it but that's just me.
