There's a strong possibility I could make it to this since I have that Monday off, I'll be making plans

Awesome see you there! Sunday finals would end pretty early, but if everyone wants to finish Saturday that is also a possibility provided there's time. Reminder that the pre-register deadline ends in 2 weeks! Please pre-register if you can make it. http://rvatournaments.tumblr.com/CivilWar 1st place in P4A will be getting a SWORD.

Final Round was AWESOME. Wish I could've been there longer but it was still a blast. GGs in the P4A tourney to KC's Notoruis, Eshi, Lord Knight, and Chosen Ninja. Congrats on taking first LK. GGs in P4A casuals to Lan5x, ShinSyn, the Labrys I played for a while (can't recall your name sorry ;_; ), ZomB, and anyone else if I'm forgetting. Lan5x it was cool playing you yet again, too bad we didn't play in BB to laugh at how ugly the match would be compared to last year lol. ZomB thanks for the much needed Chie beatings and advice. GGs in the BB tourney to KAQN(lol), Tectal Eastside, Skeletal Minion. Tectal Eastside congrats on making 2nd with your Mu. too bad we didn't get to play in P4A, we'll have to get some games in next time. Skeletal Minion good shit with Hakumen. Hope I get the chance to play your ABA too sometime. GGs in GG casuals/tourney to SolidPlay, Yarin, Zetta, ShinSyn, ABEGEN. SolidPlay, good shit with Robo-ky and that hilarious airthrow for the win in our tourney match LOL that blew my mind. and yeah I need to be way more careful with riot stamp/bandit bringer vs Pot, I was too afraid of getting slide-headed but I should have just reacted to it. Yarin, good shit with Robo from you as well our matches were intense. ShinSyn keep playing and you'll get Sol down no prob. If you end up switching to Anji at least you'll have a pocket Sol haha. Good to see you again Ama and AXIS, and it was nice meeting you Miller, Ludwig Van, Demon Wind Bomb, fellow NARUKARMY member LKG, Jackie Chandler, and other people in the P4A room. Sad I didn't get to play any of you but I hope to next tourney! Time to grind, see you all again at upcoming tournaments.

I'll be at Final Round but not til later Friday night so I'll miss GG sadly.

Oh didn't realize a schedule was posted. I'll add that to the thread shortly. But yeah Friday will be just casuals for GG.

I wanted to make sure, if a friend that's coming with me is just going to spectate, is he able to register any time at the venue? btw the Player Schedule feature is awesome.

Yeah GGs to you, also to AntIquarian, DarkRiku456, silvertiger2, Troffen, and anyone else I played.

alright so these are the upgraded FC 214B/2C combos I'm gonna try to start using. I like them since they're all pretty much the same until the end, depending on how close to corner they are. Makes it easier to confirm what combo to do, rather than having to decide right at the beginning. The ones that end in 5D are slightly weaker than opting for j.214B > 5D, but from 5B > 2C (BDC) > 5D, they can't delay tech through 5D so it will OTG, then you can j.2A for knockdown (also lets you get 5D(3)). The ones ending in super give like 40-46 meter before the super so chances are you're gonna be able to do them by the end. You can get a few extra normals in a few, those are in (), if you can keep that in the back of your mind when doing the combo. Fullscreen-to-corner: FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > sj.B > delay j.BB > j.214B > dash 5A > j.C > j.214B > 2B > j.C > j.214B > 5D - (3801) (full screen carry) FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > sj.B > delay j.BB > j.214B > dash 5A > j.C > j.214B > 2B > 5C > (j.B) > sj.B+D - (3865, +Ziodyne 4776) (full screen carry) FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > sj.B > delay j.BB > j.214B > dash 5A > j.C > j.214B > 2B > j.C > j.214B > Cross Slash - (5091) (full screen carry) Midscreen-to-corner: FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > airdash/delay j.B > j.BB > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 2C (BDC) > 5D - (3883) FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > airdash/delay j.B > j.BB > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 5C > (j.B) > sj.B+D - (4008, +Ziodyne 4919) FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > airdash/delay j.B > j.BB > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > j.C > j.214B > 5AAA / Cross Slash - (4332) / (5283) FC 2C (DC) > dash 5B > 5C > airdash/delay j.B > j.BB > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 2C (BDC) > 5D - (3766) FC 2C (DC) > dash 5B > 5C > airdash/delay j.B > j.BB > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 5C > (j.B > j.C) > sj.B+D - (3949, +Ziodyne 4860) FC 2C > dash 5B > 5C > airdash/delay j.B > j.BB > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > j.C > j.214B > 5AAA / Cross Slash - (4418) / (5223) Corner: FC 214B > 5C > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 2C (BDC) > 5D - (3701) FC 214B > 5C > j.214B > 2B > 5C > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 5C > sj.B+D - (4248, +Ziodyne 5270) FC 214B > 5C > j.214B > 2B > (5B) > 5C > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > j.C > j.214A > Cross Slash - (5615) FC 2C > 5C > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 2C (BDC) > 5D - (3906) FC 2C > 214B > 5C > j.214B > 2B > 5C > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > 5C > sj.B+D - (4560, +Ziodyne 5471) FC 2C > 214B > 5C > j.214B > 2B > 5C > j.214B > 2A > 2B > 5C > j.214A > 5B > j.C > j.214A > Cross Slash - (5817) EDIT: made a vid of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzSqSTPvt_w and this is another post-5D 2A vid, shows a better alternative for awakening combos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxoGu1mUAJM

I'm gonna add more notes to it shortly, in either annotations or in the description

Made another vid, this one shows examples of pretty much every 5D mix-up I've seen or know/heard of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1a8-E-MIIc

:mrbiscuits: Awesome! Well if you don't end up getting it dual modded in time, I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to lend you a stick for matches. Hope you can make it, would love the chance to play more of that brosuke! Yes that is your best bet. It is on the outskirts of town though, about a 20 min cab ride (roughly $30) to the venue. Also the bus system goes there on weekdays, service takes about an hour: http://tinyurl.com/cof52mn and no schedule has been made yet, details on that will be posted as soon as they're available. I expect P4A/GG/BB/SG to be run on Saturday, with all finishing that day, except there's the possibility of holding P4A finals Sunday. Please remember to pre-reg people, it would help a ton http://rvatournaments.tumblr.com/CivilWar The site was updated recently to make the process easier.

Any persona players going to the ReSe tourney on the 16th? Wouldn't mind getting some pre-Final Round practice in.

lol why is the pic for B+D Vapor Thrust now I'm updating stuff on the wiki again. Working on adding in more mix-ups with Grover's help, and possibly reorganizing it so it's easier to follow. Also, trying to optimize full screen corner carry FC 214B and FC 236D combos, which make the midscreen only ones obsolete. So far I have these: FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > sj.B > delay j.BB > j.214B > dash 5A > j.C > j.214B > 2B > j.C > j.214B > 5D - (3801) (full screen carry) FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > sj.B > delay j.BB > j.214B > dash 5A > j.C > j.214B > 2B > 5C > j.B > j.B+D - (3865, +Ziodyne 4776) (full screen carry) FC 214B > dash 5B > 5C > sj.B > delay j.BB > j.214B > dash 5A > j.C > j.214B > 2B > j.C > j.214B > Cross Slash - (5091) (full screen carry) For FC 236D it seems like you can do similar things after 214D (OMC) > 214B. If anyone is willing to help improve those or find new ones it'd be big help. I updated 5D j.B/2A airdash combos, and added burst punish air hit 5C combos.

Trying to compare some combos so I can optimize better, as for meterless empty jump 2A post 5D, here's what it looks like to me. If people have more input or better combos post away. SP gain includes them blocking 5D(3) Midscreen: 2A > 2B > 5B > 5DD > 214B > 2A+B > 5D - 1615 dmg, 18 SP + can do close range 2A+B into 5D after it + can OTG 5D > j.B > 5DD > 2A+B > 5D if they don't tech + doesn't matter if they get hit standing or crouching - less damage/SP 2A > 2B > 5B > 5DD > airdash j.B(1) > j.BB > dash 5B > 5C > 2B > 2A+B > 5D - 1821 dmg, 22 SP (2B/5B interchangeable) + most damage/SP - 2A+B hits farther - can only OTG 5D > j.2A if they don't tech - on crouch hit, j.B needs to be delayed slightly and you can't j.BB, not really hard to confirm though As for which has better corner carry, I can't tell exactly, they seem pretty much the same. Corner: 2A > 2B > 5B > 5DD > (optional airdash) j.B > dash 5A > 5C > 5B > 2B > 5C > 5B > 2A+B > 5D - 2063 dmg, 26 SP + most damage/SP - can only OTG 5D > j.2A if they don't tech

Finalizing plans for this, should be registering soon. Can anyone tell me if GG will be on Friday or Saturday? EDIT: reading is hard, I see that it will be on Friday. I'll probably miss it again then but I'll be there for P4!

Didn't see this before going, it was cool seeing you again there

Had an awesome time at WB7, it was cool meeting some more dustloop people. GGs everyone I played in P4, Grover, Ryan, brkrdave, greenix, LK, and the other Narukami I played twice (don't remember your name sorry >_<). Congrats to my fellow Narukami's SKD and Grover for placing, and thanks for the feedback/tips from my matches. and GGs in GG to Mynus, Achtzen, DBC, BlueNine, and the Baiken I played a few matches with. DBC we finally got to play eachother offline, and in AC! good shit in our tourney match. Stickbug thanks for letting me register JustDefend for GG, sorry I took til the last last minute to realize he hadn't signed up lol. Now on the topic of Civil War V, I wish Renegade had just not posted about the pools, since it started all this mess. I guess it first started when I posted the pools for the Richmond group to see, but I didn't think it would cause a fuss. I probably should've handled the advertising myself for P4/GG/BB since there was already beef with him, and since I'm helping run those games. I know he is really pushing for people to come, and it may seem excessive, but he means well. I hope people that wanna play P4/GG/BB and can make the trip will still consider going.

Awesome those sound a lot better, thanks. Dat 5C starter = happy fun damage time.

Taken from recent Hama vids, a strong burst punish combo for only 25 meter near corner: air hit 5C > j.B > j.BB > j.214A+B > [2B>j.C>j.214B]x2 > 2B > j.C > j.214A > 5AAA j.B+D - (5006) If you got meter to spare, you can do typical super enders: air hit 5C > j.B > j.BB > j.214A+B > [2B>j.C>j.214B]x2 > 2B > 5C > j.B > j.BB > j.B > j.BB > j.B+D Ziodyne - 5672 air hit 5C > j.B > j.BB > j.214A+B > 2B > j.C > j.214B > 5B > 5C > 2C > delay 214B > j.214A Cross Slash - 5991 They have to be low enough in the air when 5C hits or the j.214A+B whiffs below them. You have a bit of time to delay your 5C burst punish to prevent that.

Well what do ya know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDpPvKJSWhc Narukami players should've already subscribed to this guy by now, but here's Shikki- vs Nerina S.Lab for 40 min.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW14MtM2azQ 20 min of Hama vs FAB Kanji, good stuff from Hama as usual.

The reason for 360 setups is that we have an abundance of VGA monitors that will be used for almost every game, which PS3s cant easily hook up to. There are also a lot more 360s available in the area. I would be glad to let you use one of my ps2 pads with my ps2/360 converter if you would be ok with that. If not someone may have a ps3/360 converter which you could use.

Good question, if BBCP isn't released on consoles yet we will run BBCSEX. But if it is out for JP console, we can run it if we have enough import copies of the game and PS3 setups. I will give a definite answer once we know more details. And the same goes for GGAC+R.

Yeah max range CH 5C airdash stuff worked before. it's not the easiest thing to hitconfirm, but there are times when you know (or it's very likely) it will CH, so you can ready yourself. I don't recall details but I don't think it matters if it hits them crouching either (like it does for Sol).
