I highly suggest updating the first post with an actual address.

Nope, you're absolutely right Avion. Moving thread to archive section and merging.

The signing up. I request it. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

That tech in the middle of his air super thing has been around since the CT days. It works because there is no tech from the bug hits: they do not cause stagger which is the only thing you tech from, while still on the ground. You're forced to recover. The only character that can get out of it is arakune, with his backdash. Maybe some supers could reversal through it, but it's pretty much guaranteed damage. The problem is that the damage and re-curse you get pales in comparison to the normal combos done in a regular match. And for those who don't know, the bugs from arakune's air super are unblockable. They cannot be guard pointed or countered. However, something like Tager sledge can go through them, or Hakumen's blackhole.

They weren't teching because when he started off a combo it generally scaled very poorly. Had he kept the combo going, it would have done significantly less damage, so he reset them instead. And you can land throws if you out think your opponent, it's not uncommon.

3pm? Whelp, have fun you guys!

What time? I doubt I'll be able to make it as I have work that day and davis is way the fuck out there from me. But if it's late enough, I might be able to show up.

Wow, so it seems that a thread that originally had nothing to do with BB now has something going on. I COULD read through 75 pages and figure out what I missed, but I'm lazy. What's going on? Venue? When/where?

Damn straight Dacid. Damn straight.

FTFY

Once again I feel like I need to move to SoCal...

Let's post some actual, useful information in this thread, or I'm going to have to delete it and start it again. Word of warning: DO NOT JUST BITCH ABOUT THE FIGHT. POST SPECIFIC INFORMATION.

I feel for you Rin, I truly do. However, THIS was the biggest upset ever: Dacidbro: "Wait. Instead of going to Pho [for dinner], we're trading for Denny's? I... have never been more outraged."

It's like DKP, you just getting for showing up.

I'd be happy to bring my ps3. Unfortunately, that's all I'd be able to bring.

@dehumanizer Because I really, really suck with picking that up into a combo reliably. It's on my list of "Learn this now you dumbshit" stuff I need to work on. @Skye 6A > 6B is a terrible option there. If bang does 2D the 6A, he'll hit me clean out of the 6B. It MAY trade, I honestly don't know but I'm not any better off if it does. If he teleports, then I'll get hit, no question. 2B, on the other hand, hits in both directions and is much quicker.

Thanks for the advice, but there were actually reasons for doing what I was doing. The iad jB can get guard pointed pretty easily, but that's ok, but it's jump cancelable. If I see it getting guard pointed I just jump and barrier and the worst case scenario then is that I block it. Best case scenario is that he teleports and his attack wiffs, in which case I can do jD for some free curse. Also, I cool little factoid I discovered is that it is actually safe to poke with the 2D, but you have to be REALLY careful with your spacing. If he tries to guard point > teleport the 2nd hit of the 2D, then you get to block. Get your timing right and you can instant block it, then punish with 5A > 6B. The problem is if your spacing isn't just right, he'll teleport to the other side of you for a quick cross-up. Knowing the spacing will allow you to always punish it tho. It's difficult, but possible. At the time, I was kind of at a loss for him using 2D on my 6A after the 5A x N, and what I started doing in the match was jump canceling and then barrier blocking. In retrospect, what I should have been doing is 6A > 2B for a counter hit, 2C rapid blah blah blah, or if I didn't have any meter CH 2B, link 5A > 6B. Lastly, I'm aware that I fucked up some combos, especially the ones where I was using 6C to do guard breaks. It's a very bad habit I've gotten into where I'm not keeping track of the different bug recharge times in my head, and just acting on auto-pilot. I'm working on it, I swear ;>_< However, all of your advice is completely valid and I totally see the wisdom of it. I'll try to mix in some more of that as well.

Grand Final matches from our last ranbat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkFfF03jgJ8 <-- epic fail on my part. That first match should have been mine if I didn't drop two different combos AND fail to cancel into super. *sigh* back to sparring mode... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EmYl0NpJhQ <-- most epic ending to any match ever. EVER.

Sounds like Dacid and Qwerty need to settle this like real men. Blood. Guts. Frenzied action. Only one survives. That's right. I'm talkin' Battletoads.

Yo qwerty, you want to do your troll routine, cool whatever. But let's get one thing STRAIGHT. Dacidfro' don't beat me, I beat dacid. Word. Up.

I think you missed it the first time, so I'll repeat myself:

This may come in handy KV.

Dacidbro: (N.) Dah-Cid-Broh Def: A player with such horrible self esteem issues that he needs to shout "I did it!" everytime he mashes 5A and gets a hit. Ex: "Hi, I'm Dacidbro. Please pay attention to me as it's all I have!" Dacidbro: (Adj.) Dayc-Id-brow Def: To shit talk like a champ in the forums, and then lose to some super crappy Arakune player in some totally unhype matches. Ex: "Man, Qwerty totally Dacidbro'd in that last match." Dacidbro: (V.) Dak-yd-broo Def: The act of losing an SBO qualifier. Ex: "How did I Dacidbro that badly in Texas?"
