NEC and UFGT was not wasted hype. It was all hype. In better news, Amazon lists 27 hard rock tracks for this game....hmmmm

I knew you wouldn't make it to 10 . But you cut it close!

Nah, no EVO this year for me. Got it done last year, I'll potentially be going next year. TSB in Japan is going to potentially complicate things on my end really...

I remember a press release stating BB had 26 characters before Kokonoe dropped and we thought it was an error...(she was the 26th)

Yeah he was around after finals on Sunday for a few hours playing casuals.

Yup...new signature. Probably going to be talking about people not on dustloop anyway. Keits: I can't thank you enough for making this happen, and for giving GG and VSav a chance to do their thing. PS. BUFF S-KILL. The roomies: Apollo: Thank you for taking care of room reservations and running a tight ship. T8 in VSav next time, you got this! Jay: Thanks for recording extra VSav matches. I don't get what was wrong with your hair exactly though lol. GBursine: Always a pleasure. Hakan is one of the SFIV characters I enjoy most, was great watching you on stage, King of NJ . But never take me to a game with X-Factor again! Omni: Only one night of knees thankfully. Keep up the 2 year old tech. Let's see that Sol next time! Grover: It was a great WF and GF set. No shame in how you played (and everyone is only remembering your death combo). Mindgame: Thanks for use of your room Thursday night! Other northeast: Slothfacts: Last minute but you made it! Just found out this thread you've only been playing 3 months, dude don't beat yourself up! Just practice hard! Super J: Good to see you man. This guy travels, but doesn't like to talk about it like I do, be on the lookout! Also hit me up, we need to talk about GUTS. Kitsoru: Got left out in the streets of Chicago, and I discovered glorious fried cheese curds. And more 2S. GG Players (sorted by pre-reg pool and ABC order, then the rest): Amadeous: Thank you for the rides and graciously letting us your hotel room for Guilty Beer. I know it's rough now, but you can make it through. Desmond: Let's go get some BBQ and get busy. Kenji: Top notch play all weekend. Learned so much playing you. As well as being your usual chill self. Shoutouts to T. Hawk. Teyah: Great to meet you too! I appreciate the kind words. Shame Sol is RIP, it was nice to see one with such real footsies. Blacksnake: Great player, greater man. You deserve it all. Congratulations! I'll see you on that stage in the greatest mirror match...one day... Circ: A burly heart and friend to the very end. Devil Chipp: Really close match in pools! Hope to hear from you more down the line! Sonicspear: Great to meet you. Fish army for life. Nerdjosh: GGs. I wanted to take my liege's soul back to NY with me, but it was not to be . Finally great to run into you since...last EVO I think? Zinac: Always a pleasure to talk to you about the state and direction of FN. We didn't get to play GG this time, but soon enough. Congrats on the move! And thanks for letting me run a good chunk of the bracket! Because you know...I gotta get it in. Ludwig: You don't shout me out on twitter, I'll still shout you out here .

Mike Z: "Oh you won a game". haha. Seriously though, as much as I may annoy you, it's always great to talk to you about fighting games. Commentary together was fun! Sesshyru: Good to see you, been a minute! VR Raiden: Congrats on the placing! Thank you for only doing 9 Riot Stomps that match! Brandino: Always a contender. The HOS mirrors were entertaining.

Hope you had a great time and come out to more events from now on! Fuzzy: GGs! Bee is scary x_x Floe (like he's gonna see this): Have to admit, it was amusing to see you surprised that Pockets came out to event. But hey, you beat him! Good stuff getting that far! And keep up the work in BB, if you put real time into it, you could be a top player easily imo. The rest of the rest: Glaceon: Good to meet you! Glad to hear you enjoyed your first event! Cookie was delicious! Skye: Played a GG match to get in Guilty Beer. I respect it! The bracket runners: Putting in the work as always. I know how it goes. The streamers: Also putting in work.

May take an extra minute for true shoutouts, but yes Shinsyn, even though I lost to Devil Chipp, it was really close and I learned a lot from our games.

I may have extra vacation days and they don't exactly carry over year to year....

Adelheid isn't going to be there AFAIK fyi.

But you don't sound like a super hero without the The....

How are you going into DBC Loop? It's not really possible without meter off of 5hs ground hit, but should be no problem with a little practice off of throw, air hit 6p, 6k ground bounce, etc.

The threat of balls keeps Venom strong yeah. But when people start to wise up, it gets harder and harder to summon safely. They might overthinking things in the end. The beauty of FGs though is that when they learn how to get around it, it forces you to figure out solutions, and everyone's getting better :D

I'd trust this guy, he's good at the loop he named himself after it. When you say strike fear, what do you mean with? Basic okizeme? Pressure? Zoning?

I'm thinking will see some kind of paid DLC for extra money. Characters and costumes (mostly relating to old designs) If they love me, they'll let me give them money for X, XX, Isuka, and Korean #Reload music

30th for the next. We can run an Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Exhibition afterward

OD Blackhole is escapable with Amane via 632146C->236D according to @Oboronoel (top ranked Noel player who's testing the characters) Hariken stance alone can handle poor Blackhole setups though. Also of note, since DerQ had it bolded, now she teleports in front of Gravitons, with some exceptions in the corner I believe.

It doesn't even transform on hit in #Reload though. That said, I think they'll pull an I-No with Anji and make him closer to Slash, #Reload Anji just seems like an overall incomplete character....

I am likely to go. Getting off from my current job shouldn't be an issue. Game relevancy shouldn't be a problem unless there's some kind of Xrd 2 that dies a horrible death. Money...I can afford it...it's still a lot...gotta think a little bit. The main issues would be a change at work or life getting in the way, the latter is always possible to anyone though.

It's with a heavy heart I must withdraw this year x_x. Please have the best of the times.

I only really do 5D in the corner, not much reward from what I can tell midscreen. 5D, j.D, j.D, 236HS is the starter. I substitute the j.D for j.HS when they have burst to try to OS throw it. After the 236HS, you're free to go in with a variety of options. Simple combo would be 6P, (421S, 2S)x2-3 depending on character. One of the nice things about Venom's 5D, is that it'll hit balls underneath the attack box, letting you setup safe dust situations from multiple ball positions, safe dust referring to the ball hitting the opponent after Venom's dust. If the dust hits, the ball hits as well as you still get your combo.
