Naoto because I'm a masochist...... and dat Romi Park. Will try to learn Yu and Chie to an extent if I want to be braindead and abuse Oki flowchart and maybe even Aigis, Elizabeth and Mitsuru simply out of character loyalty. Also Roa, think you can have the design for the revised ad done by Thursday night? I plan on printing a handful of them and distributing them in my local Gamestops since I'm gonna be going out that day anyway.

What's this? Ranked Matches having better connection than Player Matches? I this real life? And shoutouts to jumping from a PSR of 5 to 101 by fighting players of various PSR.

Can't create a room either. Didn't even get to play a decent match like I did last time, only played Level 0 connection lag filled matches, and I'm using wired. Guess I'll go out and workout or something. EDIT: Nevermind I just created a room called socal WIRED :D

my room is called socalWIRED ONLY but you're free to join, no one is joining atm. EDIT: Welp, connection problems just arose.

The place we've been going for roughly 3-4 months just closed down a few weeks ago, so for now, we just go to shtkn's place in Clairemont.

Even when I move the family modem/router to where my PS3 is to get a wired connection, I still see Level 0 connections everywhere.

At the end of the day, it's all about who has the best normals and who can keep you guessing all day if you make just one mistake. /jokejoke

I started out on pad in CT, then moved on to stick in CS... so what does that make me?

Can't do my morning workout since my body is still sore so I guess I'll be on in a few on PSN, anybody in SoCal want to play?

Didn't want to post this here to raise hopes until I actually tested it out but the forum is practically dead so here. http://proonline.forumotion.com/t23-tutorial-how-to-set-up-your-psp-to-play-online http://proonline.forumotion.com/t81-has-anybody-here-tested-katekyo-hitman-reborn-battle-arena-2-spirit-burst

Just gonna throw my own two cents on this, and you probably know this already, but at the end of the day, just play to have fun. I'm not telling you to stop trying to get famous but if you don't have fun while trying to achieve your goal, then you might as well be wasting your time. I may as well be one of the worst players in my scene, maybe to the point where a few members are disappointed in how I barely make any progress and how I still make stupid mistakes but I've always managed to have fun playing anyway.

bell, if you were to host, what time would you be willing to allow guests into your home?

Oh snap. FFIV final boss is maining Naoto, this is gonna be fun.

Definitely, if you don't mind hosting on the day the game releases, and the whole SD online thing is just to mess around with the game in the first few hours we get the game in the morning. (I'm getting it right when Gamestop opens)

That'd be cool.

That's another thing newcomers struggle with when they want to get better. They don't know exactly what they should and shouldn't be doing due to their lack of FG knowledge. Don't worry, we've all been there and it takes some research and experience on your own end to figure out what are the right and wrong things to do.

THAT'S your problem. Jokes aside (Every community has their assholes and angels, I'm guessing you unfortunately ran into more the former than the latter), as for the walls you say you keep hitting, it's up to you discover what exactly are they and how to overcome them. I'll give you a few examplse for when I was starting out BBCT as a Noel player back in Q1 2010. Wall #1: Combos are hard to perform at first. Solution: Just grind it out. Wall #2: Opponents block fairly well and I can't auto-pilot into combos as much as I want to. Solution: Mix in more overheads and convert off of them. Same goes for lows. Wall #3: Some opponents sometimes block almost everything I throw at them and can block high on reaction due to Noel's slow 6B and 2D. Solution: Mix in some throws. Wall #4: I panic when I'm on the receiving end of attacks and get Counter Hit .easily. Solution: Stop pressing buttons when blocking and don't just sit there wondering when your opponent's pressure will end, familiarize yourself with the normals that he/she uses in their blockstrings

I guess that clears up my slight confusion on reading some of the combo lists when it read "236A~D."

There's plenty of people here that are willing to help you out. I suggest that you start with playing online with an experienced player with decent connection that can distinguish what you did right and wrong and tell you what you need to improve. Once you have more knowledge of what you should be doing and what you shouldn't do, watching your own replays helps as well. /2cents

I'm getting it on the PS3 as well. Anybody want to make a San Diego online room for Day 1 matches?

It's only just one more week.

Just watched Xie's stream and saw a Noel perform what appears to be a Haida in CSEX. Anybody care to tell me the inputs and how it works please? And someone mentioned Drive mixups, which I find almost unbelievable given how gimmicky Noel is, but since I barely play this game, I'm not one to question the validity of said tactic so if anybody can explain that to me, that would be great despite me almost moving on to P4A.

http://youtu.be/nt5_B7l25mM?t=4m13s Has it been known that you can connect Mudoon off of 5DDD? Well regardless, it's obviously going to be important to know, especially in clutch situations.

I just realized that my laptop needs to have a wired connection to the modem in the first place, and again, the family modem is in my parent's bedroom, so there's not much I can do again. Can I purchase a router and the USB Ethernet port, have my laptop wired to the router which in turn has a wireless connection to the family modem while my PS3 is wired to the USB Ethernet port?
