Circuitous

Okay, so. Here's the System page for the combo display, in Japanese. http://eslaf.main.jp/03_system02_05.html Here's the text for the bottom half, re: the HUD display. ＣＨＡＩＮ！！表記 コンボ中は画面に左のような画像が表示されます。 黄色い数字（３）はヒット数 赤い数字（１６７９）は与えたダメージとなります。 青いゲージが空になる前に次を当てればコンボ成立となります。 ＣＨＡＩＮ表記 コンボが正しく繋がらなかった場合はヒット数部分が半透明になります。 「Ｃｈａｉｎ！！」表記も「Ｃｈａｉｎ」に変わります。 相手がちさんと復帰（後述）していた場合繋がらいので注意が必要です。 ＯＮＥ　ＰＡＴＴＥＲＮ表記 コンボ中2回同じ技を当てるとウンパターンとみなされ。 「Ｏｎｅ　ＰａｔｔｅｒｎＸＸ」表記になります。 ＸＸには補正の数値が入り、数値が低いほど与えるダメージも減る。 The Chain!! section just explains what each number means, you should've figured that out by now. Of course the blue bar is untech time. The Chain section explains that when the number fades and you lose the exclamation points, the opponent could've teched. One Pattern explains how the SMP system works. As far as I can tell, the number is the extra proration on each attack. Google Translate sorta failed me here. The page doesn't explain what it means when the tech time bar is partially/completely orange or what the dots mean.

It's just the character moving forward. The idea is you kara cancel a move that moves you forward in its first few frames*. So if, for example, your 5B's animation moves you forward, you kara cancel into something else and that brief movement still takes effect. * I dunno what the cutoff for a kara cancel is, one or two frames probably?

Re: the tie, probably Venom's Dark Angel.

So here's a neat thing for Reviel I haven't fully explored yet. Combo into 6C > 6D for a quick knockdown. You can then set up his D~C orb attack to keep them blocking on wakeup and hide your mixup. Unfortunately his only low seems to be 2B and his only overhead seems to be 2C. You can throw during the orb, not sure how that affects tech time. 2C, 5A > jc.AB > jc.ABCD back into knockdown, easy stuff. I'll do a more thorough write-up on him later I guess. Clarification on the T-Cancel, hold the first attack button and drum immediately to the second to do it quickly. So you could do, say, 5C > 6C~B. Anyway, gonna try and work out some moonrunes and figure out this SMP system.

For inattentive people: do not post links to songs in this thread. How many accounts have to get shut down before people realize we're not supposed to do this shit?

Skye, a little birdy told me you were being irresponsibly ignorant. Please stop.

He's gonna clean it up a bit and we'll have it as an article soon. In the meantime I think this thread's gone as far as it needs to go. EmptySkyForm, good luck selecting your character. Hope ABA goes well for you. If not, try some more characters out until you find one you like.

One month 'til BADC!

Man it'd be cool if they did that. Sure you don't wanna come up even if they don't?

A month left before BADC! Pretty sure everyone that's coming is already set, but on the off chance someone new sees this, come on down!

I could bring the keyboard kind if that were somehow necessary.

I've never seen a clearer indication that a line of discussion wasn't worth pursuing.

Stay free, reaVer.

Nah. While it's true I don't know you, I've no reason to doubt that you play the character. But when someone that I personally know plays Anji well takes offense to the information, I get skeptical. I don't know how "bad" the video actually was, since I don't play Anji and rarely get to play him, I was just relaying his complaints. I told him before that that he had plenty of time to check in on the script and see what was happening, and that he can blame himself first and foremost for not contributing. With that said, I want to make sure that the information Dustloop gives out is as accurate as it can be, and if there's a problem with this video I'd like to see it corrected, if at all possible. No offense is intended to either of you.

ＥＶＥＲＹＴＨＩＮＧ Novril, if there's any chance you're up for posting errata, could you get with @zidanel33t and try to fix this? Even the frame data could tell you a lot of that stuff is inaccurate.

So apparently everything about Anji's video is wrong, but Zidane's too cool for Dustloop so he never got to provide any input.

Oh hey, welcome to DL! Thank you for your work with the English NicoNico!

I seem to recall Souji hating on BB while he was at NEC, though I couldn't say how serious he was. It's possible to have a low opinion of a game you're good at, but that's really not relevant to the thread.

She's a Jubei fangirl, not a furry.

All taken care of.

I'll be acquiring my tickets on Monday. Should be flying in Thursday afternoon and leaving the following Wednesday. Edit: Tickets acquired. Yay price drops~

Damn, Kentucky's dead. If anyone's reading this, the next BADC is on June 1st, same details as last time.

Hey Chicago, BADC's June 1st at Arcade Legacy in Cincinnati, OH. I know ShinSyn wants to make it down, it'd be awesome if more of you could come along. It's about a six hour drive from Chicago, with some cheap hotels (starting around $45/night) nearby if you need 'em. Animeeeeeee.

There's actually a pretty decent Columbus scene, you're in luck. Speaking of Columbus, it'd be nice if you guys could come down to BADC this time. June 1st, Arcade Legacy, you know the drill.

Hey Michigan, BADC is June 1st. It'd be cool if even more of you could come down this time.
