Circuitous

I'm down. I vote chat, Saturdays, evenings, however many people we can get, everything's made up and the points don't matter, forfeit the match, and booyah.

Could you be more specific? What counters are hitting you in the air? Also keep in mind that when you first jump, you can't block anything at all for 5 frames, so if you're getting hit as you start jumping that's probably why.

The "strict timing" is actually really easy unless you get lazy. So don't get lazy.

I *think* those numbers were from Arcadia but I'm not 100% sure. I got it second-hand from #p4u.

Throws are... Kanji: 13f Yukiko: 7f Akihiko: 6f Everyone else: 5f Approximately.

Good stuff. I think we're gonna do a proper overhaul on the OP soon and start moving things to the wiki as well. Really needs to be done soon.

I love you henaki.

Deeeeeeeerp.

Neat!

I'm gonna forget so many names trying to write this but here goes. GGs to: Pochp_, 4r5, and VR-Raiden in GG. Casshern, NY Chris G, and whoever it was that knocked me out in P4A [i'll remember eventually]. Amadeous, Troll Badguy, Brandino, and OmniSScythe in GG casuals. Too much fucking Order Sol going on in that room. Casshern, the only man cool enough to play JJBA with me. Special GGs to Canada: Kaeru, I never get to fight Baiken so this was a lot of fun. Thanks for playing and for just being awesome to hang out with the entire tournament. Brice, Potemkin mirrors are fucking amazing. You're fucking amazing. Stay gdlk, I love watching you play. Canadian Slayer whose name I forgot and I feel awful about it. I never get to fight Slayers either but you did pretty well. Shoutouts to: [*]Big E for running a great event, and St1ckbug and crew for keeping the anime ship afloat. [*]Room 323 and everyone that ever entered it: Amadeous, PopeTemmy, Troll Badguy, Greats, Brandino, Axis, OmniSScythe, Sibladeko, Casshern, Komidol, Rei, Tigre, Rokunaya, Jourdal, Her_Omen, Nadakaineko, and a bunch of other people whose names I never got but that seemed cool. [*]Everyone I already knew but finally got to meet: St1ckbug, Cirno, SKD, DC, DaiAndOh, Sogos, 4r5, Ehrik, Mr. Mortified, Lich, Eduardo, Alzarath, XNTRIKCAT, Eshi, Mac Chaos, and everyone I mentioned above or may have forgotten. [*]Everyone I met that I didn't already know: Starlight77, Achtzehn, MikeNapalm, Roldy, Level5-chan, and a shitload of people I'm forgetting. [*]GG casuals in the Canada room. Totally worth only getting an hour of sleep afterwards. [*]Building a bridge between Cincinnati and Canada with a gift of Kraken rum. You guys tore that bottle up. [*]Teaching Brice about O.Sol avoiding Slide Head with FD, then flicking O.Sol 6P. [*]Comboing into Heavenly as soon as I get 50 meter on four separate occasions. [*]Trying to combo into Heavenly and not having anywhere near enough meter on fifty separate occasions. [*]Playing Casshern first in P4 and both of us feeling like we'd been seeded against a local friend after only a day of knowing each other. [*]Placing 2nd in Axis's Rule 63 list, just under Lord Knight (EAD Brandino). [*]Telling 4r5 I've actually got some Johnny experience, then getting wrecked. [*]Finding out VR-Raiden plays Sol and saying "Oh, I got this," then getting wrecked. [*]Sogos asking to be unbanned before my match with 4r5. [*]St1ckbug's "WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR?" while raising my hands after a kill combo that didn't actually kill. [*]Troll Badguy's high level sadness confirms. [*]Everybody in the room on Twitter after Chris G's bullshit #damagecontrol [*]Spending Saturday night passing around doujins, watching Adult Swim anime and playing Guilty Gear. [*]Arcana Fat doujins being okay until the futa shows up (babies). I know that's not everything. If I forgot you or missed something I apologize. I'll bring a notebook to NEC to keep better track of shit. Hopefully I'll be able to stay longer then so I can meet more people and hang out more, I definitely don't feel like I got enough socialization in this time around. I had a lot of fun, though, can't wait to do it again.

For the textures that you ripped with black backgrounds, they're in DDS format when you first rip them, right? If you run them through Unbundler.exe from the X360 SDK it'll give you a TGA with an alpha layer. Then you can just select>delete that and you'll have a transparent image. It's what I do for all the stuff I ripped.

Except in both cases of being rewarded for "mashing", taking a measured approach to it works better. It's easier to press A each time you hit rather than mash it furiously (which also avoids accidentally doing the special/super if it isn't wanted), and on AoA's it's easier to hit A+B a set number of times and then launch deliberately instead of just going nuts on the buttons. Beyond that, getting ~15 meter and some burst is a fair trade for basically giving up any good damage or control over your combo. Once you get that bonus, your options are extremely limited. (Well, for most characters, anyway.) But hey, consider it a good reason to work on your defense! Knowing any idiot can mindlessly get 2k on you off a random hit sounds like pretty good incentive to think about what the fuck you're doing.

SA Kanji's sweep works more like Jam/Chie's Ryuujin. It's pretty stupid/hilarious. Both his supers do a lot more damage, too. Pounce > Tatsumi-Style did about 6k raw, and 214214C/D does 8.4k on its own. So if you can possibly kill him before Awakening, please do so.

Minor thing: in (almost) any combo involving 2A > 2AB, you can use 5B > 2AB instead. Little more damage, and it sets you up for mixups down the line. Just press it as quickly as possible and it'll combo, crouching or standing.

Leave your awful taste in Sailor Scouts out of this.

Edited the OP to reflect the original author. Content's still good so I'm gonna leave it up, unless Veysey objects. Thanks for the heads up, guys.

Aaaah well done sir, well done.

Midnight Channel + R

If you've got 'em scared that's a pretty hilarious setup, good work.

Depending on how often it catches forward tech that's not too bad a setup. 236CD would probably keep you safer by letting you move sooner. I feel like either way there's probably something that can be done about it though... need to test.

We have no alternative! Abandon ship! [but not really 'cuz Potemkin's still gonna be sweet.] Fuck yes.

[not actually an arcade discussion thread] Testing a PSR replacement eh? Good. Good.

I believe that to be the case, yes.
