Midscreen 5B > 236B > 214B > 5C > 2C (second hit whiffs) > 3C > 236C > Astraea > 214B > 5B > 5C > j.B > j.C > dj.B > dj.C > Noir > Strike Fall 2 stocks, 3.3~3.4 damage http://youtu.be/kvDmfPrn53I?t=4m47s Decent damage for two stocks off a midscreen confirm? And I'm sure you can also just end the combo at 3C if you don't have any stocks for a quick knockdown. Pretty similar to the route(s) SKD was using in NEC IIRC.

CH C/D trap starter > 2[C] > 5C > j.B > j.C > dj.B > dj.C > air fangs > opponent hits a C trap that was set earlier There, that's 7~8 fate counters already lol. #TheoryFighter

I am liking this. 2.0 is looking like a whole different game right now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPRDUA21Img#t=03m47s Comboing off of a ricocheted bullet is the new sexiness now. With this change and the increased damage in midscreen combos, seems like they're really making her play like a glass cannon type (considerably strong offense but weaker defense or health) of character and I think I like that, probably because I've had experience with these type of characters such as Millia and DIO in Guilty Gear and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle respectively.

This guy just outpkes me most of the time and it's hard to get any breathing room, all thanks to Koromaru. Plus I can't tell which parts of his strings to disrespect but I guess I can solve that by rewatching my matches and experimenting in Training Mode. First time in a while I felt clueless when it comes to P4U matchups outside of Margaret.

Would you happen to have a link to the story. And yes, I too am a bit disappointed that there wasn't any blood in Accent Core, I also didn't like how "basic" the announcer for AC sounded in comparison to the one used from the very first iteration of XX to Slash. But alas, both are simply cosmetic changes so I'll live. Back on topic, seems like the character models PS3 version seems a bit more "jagged" and "blurry" than the PS4 version?

AH4 was announced?

Isn't that basically just 956 then? Shouldn't be too difficult if you've been doing it like that?

While I do hope that it'll be considered to be "ASB2" instead of a completely different game, the best we can do is wait until the 20th-21st.

Hope to see you this Friday! I'll be done with finals by Tuesday so I should definitely be able to swing by for a bit to see everyone again and meet any new people that are there.

Oh I didn't notice the RC. :P Anyway, I'm not blaming the character, my losses are 99% my fault. I'm just at a loss on what to do sometimes since I would play long sets with one person for an hour and I would little to no improvement or adjustment no matter what I learn as I'm playing along. Perhaps this has to do with me not putting in the effort to research the character(s) the others play and other things as well.

Decided to share these matches because Ju Roku Cha is pretty amazing. Not sure if being a Level 15 Izayoi is worth mentioning but he shows that he's earned his rank. Ju Roku Cha (IZ) vs Goro (MA) http://youtu.be/F8X6H1tn3HM?t=10m5s Ju Roku Cha (IZ) vs Serizawa (MU) http://youtu.be/mDC9szveboI?t=7m44s Ju Roku Cha (IZ) vs Osaka (LI) http://youtu.be/mDC9szveboI?t=9m53s

Yeah, neutral and earning respect is what I /still/ have trouble with with Izayoi. I may not be a tournament player but I would like to get better but it's pretty hard when the people I play at locals just want to play their "game" and I get blown up for it off of one wrong move or read, especially since pre 2.0 Izayoi has no reversal and I'm not quite familiar with a lot of the casts' strings. It's also a bit discouraging when my opponent doesn't do what I expect them to do on defense and they get away with it haha. Mimicking what top players do is simple, but trying to understand what goes on in their minds is another level for me. However, I should also put in more effort than what I put in if I want to get better, such as actively asking for advice and putting myself on the spotlight and showing my matches to others (which could be hard since I don't have a recording device ) Anyway back to 2.0 for a bit, we have a somewhat different variation of the GA sideswap combo by a player named Super Donkey (lol); stuff > 5B > 236B > 214B > 5C > 2C > stuff. http://youtu.be/b2hvHCk4YtA?t=56s Tried to be cute lol http://youtu.be/b2hvHCk4YtA?t=3m49s Also, Ju Roku Cha is probably the best 2.0 Izayoi player I've watched so far. Corner 5B > 236C > Astraea > 2C > 5C > 2C(1) > 6C > 623C > 5C > j.B > j.C > dj.B > dj.C > Noir > Strike Fall 2 stocks, 3995 damage http://youtu.be/mDC9szveboI?t=9m24s Using Noir > Strike Fall to bait Bursts. http://youtu.be/mDC9szveboI?t=9m37s Near corner CH 623B > Strike Fall > Astraea > 5C > 2C(1) > 6C > 623C > 5C > j.B > j.C > dj.B > dj.C > Noir > Strike Fall 3 stocks, 3728 damage http://youtu.be/F8X6H1tn3HM?t=10m27s Near corner CH 623B > Strike Fall > Astraea > 5C > Phorizer > 214D > 5C > 2C(1) > 6C > j.B > j.C > dj.B > dj.C > Noir > Strike Fall 4 stocks, 50 Heat, 4388 damage http://youtu.be/F8X6H1tn3HM?t=11m15s Near corner 5B > 236C > Astraea > 2C > 5C > 6A > Phorizer > 214D > 5C > 2C(1) > 6C > 623C > j.B > j.C > dj.C > Noir > Strike Fall 3 stocks, 50 heat, 4718 damage http://youtu.be/mDC9szveboI?t=12m42s I don't think we could combo after Phorizer if we used it mid combo before could we? But yeah, those of you who think that 2.0 Izayoi has no damage, well hope you're happy now lol.

Ah okay, good to know.

GA Mode sideswap combo http://youtu.be/B0tET0t1juo?t=2m54s And 6A being used in Normal Mode as combo filler. http://youtu.be/B0tET0t1juo?t=8m29s

NEC 15 BlazBlue Chronophantasma Grand Finals Dora vs SKD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UffkHwn1l2w&list=UUrMxIdXt-RDm_thKIpSDDSQ I know we're all focused on 2.0 now but I figured this is pretty important not to share. Pretty much the pinnacle of pre 2.0 Izayoi. I never thought I'd see Izayoi winning a major happen, but it did so congrats SKD. This is pretty motivating and it kind of makes you feel bad for all the times you made excuses and/or cynical jokes about Izayoi now haha.

To be honest, it's too early to tell, especially since her combo rate has been decreased, at least according to SKD. However in 2.0, changes such as being able to do 5B > 236B make hitconfirming a bit easier but the fact that 623C is "slower" makes me wonder if things like ... 623C > 66 > j.C > oki are still possible, but since 623C has longer untech time this time around (actually it seems like they can't tech until they hit the ground?) it seems like it isn't possible, nor necessary since the longer untech time gives Izayoi EZPZ oki lol.

@ 16:00 Normal Mode to GA Mode combo Stuff > 236B > 214A > 2B > 5C > 623C > RC > 5D > 3C > 236C~6D > GA Stuff http://nico.ms/sm25032335

@ 5:15 Kureru lands a 3C Fatal. Although he drops the combo, he does give us a glimpse of what's possible but then again, this could be doable in 1.1 already? @ 6:55 He makes the most out of being able to extend his combo with Astraea after Strike Fall and is able to kill his opponent as a result. @ 8:00 is just jokes hahaha http://nico.ms/sm25009047 @ 8:39 Corner 8 stock combo: stuff > 236B > 214A > 5C > TK Noir Edge (2369C) > land > j.B > j.A > j.C > Noir Edge > land > 5C > 623C (Was this doable before?) And lol @ 10:30 http://nico.ms/sm25009161

Incredible...

Yeah same here! I was planning to go to one this month but current circumstances have prevented me from doing so.

I'd like to say that it helps? But then again I'm not an expert on this matter. However the number one thing to know however is to use a wired connection, but I'm pretty sure you know that already.

Finally played this game on Friday night and it was fun. Definitely enjoyed the simple nature of the game and yet what interests me is the untapped potential the playable characters have with the assists.

After playing shtkn's Mitsuru at casuals last night, yes it does I think? But more often than not I upback air grabbed. Also this is pretty obvious but fuzzy jumping gets blown up by well spaced 5A staggers as well as 5C since the hitbox on Artemesia's whip is huge.

Hello there. I'm strongly considering going to the event next December and I'm wondering if the entry fee will still be $10 and $5 for each tournament. I don't really mind it if it'll still be this way but there being free food sounds nice. I only ask what food and drinks did you serve last time?
