That's a really useful link. Kevin you mind putting it on the OP?

Just got back from OFC and it was good fun. I absolutely LOVED the venue which is basically in a Wells Fargo building for those of you who never been there before. Can't wait for the next one. Also I just got a new phone so please send me your numbers and I'll text you back.

I'm not sure if I can go this Friday but out of curiosity, are any of you guys going to Oceanside Fight Club this Saturday? It starts at 5:30 pm.

Great! Another GG player, more players means more motivation for me to practice again.

Just made it back from WGF and it was great fun. It was a nice opportunity to "unrust" in P4A and while we didn't really recruit anybody (maybe one person? Andy knows him) it was nice having some people watch us play animu. Also it's so nice to finally be the passenger for once.

Andy, Roa, what time are you guys going to be there?

Diarmuid, I just scanned your write up but I'm impressed with what I read, I even learned a few things myself. You don't mind if I copy and paste some things in the wiki do you? Of course I'll give you credit. And does somebody here know any footage of the throw OS on safejump? I'm sort of a visual learner.

You know it.

I regrettably inform that I can't go tonight, through the urging of my parents that I stay since we're heading up to LA early tomorrow and I'm driving.

I think I'll be able to go. And Kevin, didn't you work things out with Ryan on when we can use the room?

If you're actually serious about the Mario Party thing, I'll check on Watermelonz and his friends if they're still down.

Where do you live now? Just curious since I wouldn't mind coming over to play numerous sets before the semester starts, same with Tsukibaka, B-RAi, or anybody in general.

Yeah I'll be a bit late as well. At the very least, I'll get some P4A and perhaps maybe some GG casuals in. Oh and anybody up to eat at Tajimas later as well?

Oh man, I hope nothing comes up for me this Saturday then, this will be at the new location right?

Happy New Year guys.

Man, I have no idea what I'm doing when I play this game.

I suppose the "no real mixup" comment was inaccrate, it's just that when pressuring, I rarely go for the AoA and 236A or any other set up that leaves the tiniest gap in my blockstring, simply because the players in my region for some unknown reason recognize the gaps no matter how I try to mix it up which results in me getting hit out of it before, which forced me to go for airtight, yet one-dimensional blockstrings ending in sweep or airdashing away to leave a trap and return to neutral.

-Normals are mediocre compared to Mitsuru, Yu, Aigis, Chie, etc. so it's pretty easy to get "randomed" out even by technically weaker players, forcing us to be the better player. -Dead in like 2 or 3 good combos so you can't make any serious mistakes, which is pretty easy to make since again, Naoto can get "randomed" out. -No real mixup aside from the super risky 236A~B that any opponent can DP out. -VERY reliant on traps, so characters who can disrespect it for free such as Yosuke or Labrys will make it harder for you. -Probably has the worst "overall" matchups in the game. While she has an advantage over Kanji and maybe Chie and Labrys on neutral, all it takes is one mistake (a common one being missing the Aim shots) and we're holding on to dear life as opposed to those characters where they can make numerous mistakes but have a chance to turn it around. Generally, playing as Naoto forces you to learn the game and other characters more in general since you have to respect so many of their options and know numerous appropriate responses to them and it's pretty hefty IMO.

It's not that I'm not capable of making the drive, let's just say that I'm still at that that point in life with my parents where there's a sort of "invisible" curfew set, so if I were to leave at 4:30 to get there right when the event starts, but then to be home at around midnight, I only have 4 hours to play/hang out. If it happened earlier, I would've gone #excuses

After a knockdown, try to do a meaty attack and Naoto will get CH'd since there's start up on the first 4 frames (or 3?). Moving back a bit so that they'll roll right in front of your face is something some smarter opponents have done on me as well. Oh and SB Aim ver. Netplay is unavoidable anyway so don't bother.

Some friends of mine guilt tripped me into going with them to watch Django Unchained so I went with them so yeah sorry. Great movie btw. Anyway I really hope nothing comes up when Saltmines comes back, and as for Sanoshi's event, I don't think I can go, what with it starting pretty late considering how it's a 2 hour drive for me.

Oh Thank God! Anyway Roa, I can give you a ride if I'm going.

I just asked her about it, anyway I'll be waiting for Jinxhand's address.

Apparently that's what she said on her FB a while back.

I might go, but I also have plans to go to Sanoshi's place the following day as well.
