Has anybody seen a 19.5V Sony laptop charger at Saltmines? I think I may have left it there. If not, I hope it's in my car.

To be honest, it looks like I can go this Friday night but I'm also leaving for LA the following day for a birthday so I may not stay as long as I'd like to. Just out of curiosity but are any of you guys going to NCR?

That looks good, although I would replace 5B with 2A just to make your life a bit easier IMO.

Well... at least I had friend chicken.

THERE WAS CVS2!? :O

Unfortunately I don't think I can go tonight, sorry guys. Hope to see you guys at Anine Conji though.

Might as well rename the tournament as the Watermelonz/Andy tournament.

Just watch, there's going to be that one guy that spends time from now to Friday learning everybody. XD

Okay after playing numerous matches against my cities two only Labrys players, I can honestly say that this matchup is hell against us if the Labrys player knows how to maneuver and is patient. I honestly have a hard time trying to lame it out because they eventually hit me when they get in. Blocking is not a problem, I just need to be smart and I'm home free if I block the Guillotine Axe. I still need to work on the timing of her sweep > Axe > OMC so I don't get hit low though. On the occasions that I do get lucky and land a knockdown, I really have to make it count. Poke/Grab/CH mindgames, trap Oki, I use whatever I can to maintain the momentum which somewhat isn't that hard since her F-Action isn't that great. On paper, this MU is in our favor but it honestly doesn't feel that way when I play really good Labrys'. Probably San Diego's best player, TsukiBaka says that when I try to lame him out, it usually ends in disaster for me because he really knows how to get in. And it doesn't help that her normals practically outshine ours, especially her j.B where it disarms all the traps and is practically impossible to 2B unless they space it incorrectly, which is rare for a good Labrys player to do, which means I'm forced to block it. Possible solutions to this MU could be to place C traps at better positions, like what Zeromus said for the Yu matchup. Trying our best to stay mobile is a good solution too. If I sense them getting in, I try to run to the other side and shoot more bullets. Also, it's okay to win by timeout, which is how I've won a few matches against Labrys. As for using our normals on neutral, I'm somewhat lost on this. Right now I feel that none of our normals beats Labrys which makes me scared when I'm up against her at mid to close range. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. /garbledmess

If there's space I might just crash over at Ryan's place but that's a nice alternative though. In fact, I'd like to go over everybodys' sleeping arrangements there so I'm aware of our options.

Kaicho (Chie) vs Shikki (Narukami) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bpnxv4WxSs

Decided to post here out of boredom but I figured this will be useful for other members and lurkers here. I just fought my friend who plays a very disrespectful Narukami in the sense that he will slide the moment he sees me doing unsafe shit such as pulling out my gun or calling out 5D and knows exactly when to DP. He also grabs me out of my C trap Oki even when I try to jump up to avoid it so much to the point where I don't even attempt Oki against this guy anymore and it forces me to outshine him in the neutral game which is pretty annoying for me. I'm also eating more 2Bs than usual. Perhaps it's because I'm sort of off it these past few days but possible solutions could be to use C traps more, and to especially place them at more strategic places and not go derp and place them anywhere. I just now need to know where exactly to place them, perhaps near the ground would work. I would also say one somewhat high in the air but then again B Raging Lion would fix that, but it's punishable. As for my friend's tendency to slide, that could easily be fixed with just blocking low. I just need to remember the appropriate punish for blocking it though. It's also important to note that even from a far, if you tag them with bullets and you call out 5D right away, if they have at least 25 SP, they can SB slide and tag you, which of course makes it important to lay C traps at the right spots. As for trying to avoid the 2B AA, maybe if you're expecting it, you can try a somewhat late double jump into j.C or D trap? Also on the subject of defense, it would be nice if we know exactly which parts of his pressure to escape and how because I honestly don't see Naoto trying to outpoke him out of it unless someone can show me otherwise. And lastly, on the subject of my friend not giving a fuck about Naoto's Oki and grabbing me out of it after sweep > knockdown > C trap, perhaps this is because I'm just a tad bit too slow on the execution and/or a spacing issue? Perhaps I need to be up close first in order for it to work? Maybe one of you guys know. One of these days I'd like to invest in a recording device, record them and stream them so we can have an open discussion about it. So yeah, obviously this matchup is very annoying for us, especially if the Narukami knows what their doing and/or simply plays like he doesn't give a fuck/goes all out and doesn't show fear like my friend does but it's still winnable though. We just have to be the better player. EDIT: Forgot to talk about the neutral game but how do you guys approach this? I honestly try to lame it out and pretend I'm Yosuke by laying traps everywhere when I can, but again, I should do better to lay them at better positions as well as learning when it's safe and not safe to lay traps.

Damn , wanted to help you grind out the Mitsuru vs Naoto match up some more. Anyway I JUST heard about Anime Conji. I'll definitively try to be there, wanna go together?

Tonight, we're eating Carne Asada burritos in honor of Donnie rejoining us...... and also since he's apparentnly NEVER eaten one before. Plus Lent is over so I can eat meat on Fridays now.

If necessary, I think the Naoto Skype group would be a great place for a live discussion regarding her. Me, ludwig and Bond reside in it and it's been dead for a while.

Sailor Moon please. Oh and looks like I can't go to Super this weekend, got family from LA (lol) coming down so I have to play housemaid for the weekend. Maybe next time though. I'll definitely try to go this Friday though, assuming I can finish my project. Oh btw, were the top 4 matches for P4A from Swagathon recorded? I want to observe how I played against jsmack.

I'll be happy if I get a gunslinger and a knife/shank user in the game.
