I have been playing Haku-men casually since CT, but I don't really like some of his changes. Litchi has interested me for a long time, but yeah she seems really hard. I have always had her pinned as a "once I get better" character. I'll look into Mu, and probably either go with her or stick to Haku-men. Thanks for the advice.

Another guy here to ask character select question. I like turtling behind high-priority normals, annoying zoning shit, and strong tools for escaping/reversing pressure. I enjoy footsies and blocking. I hate practicing difficult combos and set plays, but I could put up with it if a character was otherwise perfect. Anybody who would fit me well in BB?

Are there any regular gatherings for GG/BB in NorCal? Links in the first post seem very outdated. Browsing through the last couple pages I'm getting the impression that everybody just hangs out at Gamecenter Arcade. Is that right? I'm about an hour north of San Francisco for reference.

I am also learning this combo and I thought I'd share my experiences with you in case you find them helpful. I think the delay between j.B and j.A is the most important delay. Not giving it enough time is what was preventing me from executing the combo consistently for a long time. If I land the j.B while high in the air and delay the j.A a lot, I have an easier time landing the 2C than if I land j.B really low and then do a smaller delay into j.A. Maybe there's more downward momentum if you have a larger pause between j.B and j.A. I'm not sure. In any case, I was executing the combo like this at first: [stuff] > Hop (or delay) > 2C > jc > large delay j.B > large delay j.2A > AD > large delay j.B > small delay j.A > 2C > [stuff] Then I transitioned into performing the combo more like this: [stuff] > Hop/Delay > 2C > jc > small delay j.B > small delay j.2A > AD > large delay j.B > large delay j.A > 2C > [stuff] I find the new method much easier, and I'm landing the 2C much more consistently now! Also on the second j.B, the main thing you want to make sure of is that your opponent is below you. Since when you do the j.B, your opponent will travel upwards and you'll start traveling downwards, if you aren't above your opponent, he'll float too high for you to land a delayed j.A. Because of this, the delay (or hop!) before doing your first 2C is pretty important, as leaving it out will cause your opponent to travel higher. It's still possible to perform the combo without the delay, but it is harder.

This combo gave me carpal tunnel syndrome. I think it would be helpful to mention that attacks in this combo need to be delayed. Similar to what you did here: You can see the delays in the video, but they are easy to miss if you are new and don't know what to look for. It took me a couple hours to figure out, at least.

True words seem paradoxical. That is translated by S. Mitchell from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, a Chinese book of paradoxes. I am available for fighting, Tustloop.

Hello abadlime: I am going to shower and eat. If you are still available in 30 to 45 minutes we can fight. I am called Saturday-Saint on PSN. I was invited to watch a movie. Because you did not respond, I will watch a movie instead. If you have been silently waiting, I am sorry. I hope the weather treats you well. Goodbye abadlime.

I do not think PSR is a good indicator of skill, as it is handled by a computer. It lacks the human element in its judgements. But for the record, it is 8.

Hello Dustloop. I am Blazblue's most talented player and I am looking for challengers over the internet for Blazblue for PS3. Not right now because I'm about to sleep (I often lose matches when I am sleepy, though I should mention that such losses caused by drowsiness do not reflect upon skill), but some time. I have heard that Dustloop has talented Blazblue players, and I would like to compare talent with you. My PSN is Saturday-Saint (I do not mean to brag, but I think you will be quite impressed if you look at my online rank!). If tomorrow works for anybody, I should be getting online around 4 to 6 PM PST and will play for a couple hours. I might also be on early in the morning, around 8 or 9 AM. Goodbye Dustloop.
