Okay, so certain strings can be IB'd and then retaliated against? I'll have to become more familiar with this. Thanks!

Alright, got it. I think I just need to be less stupid in my decisions of whether to roll or not. Sometimes I hit the ground and the just roll right into the next set up lol. Also nice sig, lmao, that was said in regards to me xD

So this might be more of an issue with me not having played enough to understand the engine fully, but I find that I have a lot of trouble on wakeup when playing against people online. I know Platinum has little to no access to reversals unless you're lucky enough to have the bat equipped or want to spend the meter on CDT, but are there any general tips for how to try to get up safely from the corner and stuff as Platinum? I feel like I eat things I really shouldn't have to if I knew what was going on. I get picked up on wakeup way too easily. I guess it just depends on what tools your opponent has, but just thought I'd ask and see if there was something I was missing.

Of course, that's what I figured. Totally makes sense. I was just curious, but cool, that sounds like it'll be fun.

FFXIV? I'm jealous of you all.

Keepin' my eyes on this. Is it strictly these three games or will there be things on the side? I'd like to play people in BB if anyone's interested.

Thanks Nadakai! I look forward to it. Oh, and that's good to know. I'll keep it in mind. He fooled me so easily... I'm already learning so much.

Right? I was impressed. I enjoy it a lot. P4A on the other hand...

lol it didn't take me too long after lurking the boards to realize what must be done. And awesome, thanks! I figured I might as well see what's up while I'm around. And def dude, it's always easier and more fun to learn the game with someone else who's still trying to learn too. I assumed as much, but it was worth a shot lol. Cool cool, just followed you on Twitter. I already hit up Fuji on there. Nice. I want to be at least decent at it since I own the damn game, haha. Just been one of those things where I thought it looked cool, bought it, and no one played me. I'll keep my eyes peeled for that next event thread.

Everything Rachel says ever. Her dialogue is gold and I love the English VA. Also it's funny to hear Platinum saying "Bastard!" and things of that nature while she fights.

Hey guys, I was directed here from the Plat boards by Fujiwara. I'm usually in NY for school but I'm home for the summer so I'd like to stop by to at least one of these events for some BB. I also see Psycho posted in here, so if I were to come I'd def be bringing him with me lol. The venue is like an hour away which isn't too bad so it's plausible you'll see us both eventually. Alias: Camalange Name: Cam Location: Allentown, PA Characters: :PT:/:ballYK: :ballNA:/:MA: Contact Info: Twitter/Skype/YouTube - @Camalange Other Games: Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Melee, Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur, Arcana Heart 3 (I own it but I know nothing about it) I'm not sure if anyone's into Smash but that's definitely my best game. It seems to be a love it or hate it kinda thing but I'm gonna test the waters here lol. Anyway, hello, and hope to meet and get to know some other players.

I like fighters. I like anime. I like 2D sprites. Basically all that I wanted a game to be. Also... Yeah.

Waaah h8r Thanks. It's worked for me before so I'm glad it's not just a luck thing, lol. My followup was awful haha so I'll try those instead. Yeah, I find it odd with Tager because I feel like I need to pressure him but I know if I'm too close I'm at such huge risk. Is there like a balance of keep away and being in his face? Or like a general rule of thumb or does it really depend on what item I have coming up? That was me just flat out ing up an input. I felt terrible. Point noted. I know :< Trust me, I hate myself when I do it. Worst habit. Hm, I'll check that out. Thanks! TK swallow moon is something I really need to better understand/execute in general. Very cool tip! Didn't even think about that on wakeup. Smart. Haha, got it. Right, right. Word. Indeed >_< I'll follow Plat's advice and "please try harder". For sure. He's new to the game as well and as mentioned I'm still trying to break into it so all the criticism is very much appreciated. I'll take note of all that was said and keep workin' on it. Thanks again for the write-up! Also, you're from PA too? I don't wanna get off topic so maybe just message me the answer or whatever, but where do you usually go to play? There's like no where that I know of for me to go around here, lol.

Hey guys, I've been lurking the boards and practicing online/against friends to improve my Plat. It's way easier for me to learn from watching other people's videos or from people directly telling me what I'm doing right/wrong as so I'd really appreciate any input. I'm not sure if I'm at a level yet where I can give other people tips since I'm still pretty new, but I figure I have to start somewhere. Also, hello Plat boards :D I think this is my first time posting in here but it seems pretty chill. Been finding a lot of useful stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuEb0MzCEgc I can post more if needed because I literally just figured out how to capture game footage and took this as a victory lol

So stoked that this is finally happening. I agree that they should stick with the current VA's that the game has. I surprisingly love the English dubbing of BB and would be incredibly disappointed to not hear them in the show. Not that I really have anything against Funimation, but if you already have a good thing going...

Haha I never really understood the stigma to it either. Like, if a female is attractive, whether she's 2D or not, they're still attractive. Like, they're intentionally designed to be. I just don't discriminate Yours goes without saying, of course.

Oh shit! Yo dude! I was just on SB, haha. I'll message you! _ I have to completely cosign to the backlog of games. All my friends that don't play fighters hate me for still not beating the new Tomb Raider. Also, fighters make me either really happy or incredibly pissed off, so there's that.

I used to play BB just for shits since no one knew what it was. When I got to college I met some people my second year through Smash Bros. that were playing fighters like P4A, which is when I first played on a fight stick. Only game I ever played competitively was Smash, so I wanted to change the pace and learn a different game. I bought and modded my own stick and got into P4A, but rediscovered my love for BB through picking up Extend. There's now a group of people through school that I can practice with. A little late to the Extend game, but I'm really excited for CP and trying to get competent enough in Extend that I could find some local tournaments to compete in. GG is cool but there's a dude that we all pretty much hate who exclusively plays that and hates basically every other fighter ever, especially BB and P4A, so that kinda ruined it for me. I still think GG is cool for what it is but that kinda killed the motivation to want to play. Seein' a lot of hate for Smash in this thread, haha. Oh well, that's to be expected I guess.

Platinum is just a total goofball of a character who is both adorable yet also a playful parody of overly loli/magical girl characters. That's what first brought me to the character. She stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the cast and I find that hilarious. Her profane comments contrasting with her appearance is just golden. Her playstyle fortunately really clicked with me too. I like versatile characters and I found her random item based drive to be very interesting. There are very few things more satisfying than defeating an opponent with a little girl who proceeds to ride away on her flying carousel pony.
