Circuitous

The implication at the end of GG2 was that he would work together with Dr. Paradigm and the peaceful Gears of his island to make a case for Gears' capacity for understanding and compassion, and that it seems to have been at least somewhat successful. Considering most of the violent Gears were sublimated anyway, there's not much to argue against.

There's a combo theory thread that you can use to stitch together combos. Slayer's combos are pretty situational, so in a way this is more useful than just a list of combos. Between that and videos you should be able to work things out. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?16966-General-AC-R-thread

Can't wait to see you again.

Next time someone says something ignorant, can we not waste several pages debating it? Please and thank you.

It's timed with the publisher buying out someone else and acquiring the rights, nothing more. From Leopold's link at the top of the page.

Cool, haven't had any WV players before! Hope it goes well!

We don't do introduction threads. Stuff that'll be of use to you: New England thread Rhode Island thread Feel free to introduce yourself in one or both of those. Slayer board Aigis and Labrys boards Any questions you have are best asked there. As for links, there are a variety of techniques you can try to land them more consistently. Double-tapping is a common one for Slayer players, but nothing's going prevent you from having to learn proper timing. It always boils down to practice.

RIP PowerUp 2010 - 2012 (Yes, it's now officially dead. Osirun tried to raise money for it in 2013 but there wasn't enough interest.)

Thank you kindly.

Pre-regged! Elven, if it's not too much trouble, could you seed me as Cincinnati? My location is listed as Rising Sun, IN, but my closest scene is Cincy, so... We ran into this same problem at NEC, and it ended poorly. Sorry for the hassle.

It seems entirely too slow to be an anti-air (definitely seemed slower than 2H, but those videos are RIP status). Frame advantage/chip/combo fodder is possible, but... it's so slow. It seemed really damned slow. I wonder if FAB speaks any English?

If the flame pillar isn't a DP I have no idea what use it'd be.

So, the way ICPM works seems pretty simple. This is a bit theoretical, though, so forgive me if it turns out wrong. The startup seems to have two phases: the mostly horizontal phase, and the mostly vertical phase. Potemkin goes fetal and hovers very briefly in midair, then springs himself forward posing like a missile, steadily arcing down to the ground. If he hits the opponent during the first phase (horizontal), they're skewered to his pickelhaube and are dragged all the way down with him, where they are then pinned to the ground for pretty good damage. If they're hit during the second phase (vertical), I'm not sure if they get skewered or not - it might just be a regular hit. (#whensPotfootage) It's too slow and obvious to be a legitimate attack in neutral, but YRCing it before an anti-air could be extremely beneficial. We'll see, I guess. My assumption is that it'll be fast enough to hit after a j.H, so he has some air-to-air options. Anyway, I did some digging for Potemkin Xrd info. The wikis/BBS are mostly empty, but I found a few notes. 1. 6K wallsticks on air hit. 2. 5P does whiff crouchers. 3. Faust's 5K hits Potemkin crouching. 4. Heat Knuckle blows the opponent away, no oki. (This is without Extend.) 5. F.D.B. causes too little stagger for reliable f.S followup. Edit: most IKs weren't actually available in the loketest. I think only Ky's and Sol's were completed, the rest had placeholder text.

Yeah, that'd be cute. Feels like Potemkin could get a lot of mileage out of YRCs, actually...

Looking at it raw... it seems jokes. I've been theoryfighting, he can probably use it at the end of air combos? stuff > 2H > Hammerfall Break, j.PKSH > ICPM?

I should do some shoutouts. Room 202: Amadeous, Shinobi, Kitsoru, Mahouko, plus ShinSyn and Her_Omen. Not the easiest room to sleep in, but hanging out with you all was great. Happy to finally meet Mahouko and Kitsoru, too. Speaking of, I'm glad I finally got to meet: sogos, bbq_sawss, TrueGunnerShadow, Omex, SK, Jyosua, Eshi, AMB Bakery, Tonberry, Ehrik, Kenji, Mynus, Isaiah, XAQ, Setsuna, Shazay, Stone, M.Song, Kurumster, Numakie, Tone, C0r, etc. Sorry if I forgot to list you here, my memory's really bad. Please yell at me if I forgot you. Shoutouts to everyone I hugged. Not one person refused, that was really nice. Shoutouts to KyleW and Fleshpounder for letting me team with them in BB, even though we all sucked. Let's train up! Shoutouts to Ailerus for winning VSav! Also, apologies to Kaeru, Kurumster, and everyone I dodged in GG. I didn't mean to, honest! It was just really hard to find where casuals were happening, and I'm not in a position to spend a lot of time walking around looking for rooms. Shoutouts to once again missing every group picture. Shoutouts to hard read 2H at the start of the round. Shoutouts to spending three rounds conditioning the tick grab setup and then not abusing Heat Knuckle, allowing Mahouko to go Super Saiyan. I'm sorry, Team Red. I'm so sorry. GGs to everyone I played, in casuals and in tournament. Ehrik/Blakmaphia in BB teams, Amadeous/DaiAndOh/Mahouko in GG teams. I forget who I played in GG singles, I was completely out of it by the time my pool happened, which sucked. The team event completely made up for it, though. BRB moving to Montreal.

Yeah, I know what you mean... I don't wanna go back. Might end up picking up someone new for Xrd if this trend keeps up. Even just getting 2S vacuum back would be so good.

Any Potemkin stuff? I saw mention of 6K hit effects (CH stagger, midscreen down, corner wallbounce) which sound pretty interesting - any ideas re: combos, gatlings? Anything on the BBS?

Firmly cemented into my shitlist.

You're on my shitlist. Those games are both amazing.

I just wanna say, thank you for all the work you've put into the Xrd News thread. You're doing a fantastic job.

St1ckBuG's opting for a soft ban. Both players have to agree to allow macros in the match, otherwise they're not allowed. Basically we're self-policing. Here's the post.
