Damn you, 3rd shift curse.

Ideally, you want to do something into 2b note pop > 2c > mix up. You can do 5a/2a tic throw to check if they can throw tech. You can do 5a > 5a frametrap to bait mashing or jumpouts. 5a > shorthop > jB is pretty good command grab bait (Kanji, Marge) Raw ass 2C can be thrown and leads to mix up, but it's quite reactable to jump out or outright reversal. Don't use too often. Point blank 22AB can lead straight into 5aa > DDR. DPable without note pop cover, and useless if they got meter to burn on counterroll. EX Plat Disc > 5a allows you to restart your pressure midscreen if you need to. EX Note/ROCK YOU point blank > 5a sets up notes and is +2 on block, which means it's pretty safe to everything but DPs or stuff with invincibility. The frame advantage allows you to easily bait these though. If you're desperate to close a round you can also Risette Field during pressure.

I've semi-retired, but I've been really interested in getting my playstyle critiqued to hell and back. I know I got bad habits. That's just something that happens from a netplay-only player I guess. I got a family trip planned this weekend so it's a no-go for Sunday. I'll be all over this if you do it next weekend though. And yes, I do have a mic/skype etc.

Ive heard rumors of this, but couldn't bother to search the entire gameplay thread for it. Thanks

Thanks for telling me that this was for people who don't understand so that if I do not understand the rules that I must read this all caps and bolded paragraph so that I may understand that this is for understanding that we need to understand that it not a boss tourney, but a normal tourney with the understanding that there might be a boss only tourney after. I Comprehend.

oh hell I thought this was forgotten about! Oh well maybe next time

Just being able to get a legit knockdown into oki off of random air hits and high hitting arrow rain with j.2b is a big buff if you ask me. All the damage it adds to to combos is just icing on the cake. You may be even able to corner carry into knockdown if you OMC a plat disc ender. Hell, you can probably corner carry note oki from anywhere on the screen now with SB Risette Field > dash to corner > j.2b. Need to see moar!

Interesting. Max distance Rock You + note pop covers quite a large ground area that normally Rise struggles with, and unlike Plat Disc I do not think it can be so easily IAD'd. Of course you need to set it up and be properly spaced, but it's something. I definitely see the potential for shenanigans.

J.B being a mid or not pretty much decides if she becomes a sub or not for me. Here's hoping. I do hope she still has a use for DDR though.

I wonder if scan into SB Rain combos are gonna be thing now that it causes shock. I'd take shock over scan oki personally.

Woo new footage! Tetrakarn seems to have a guard point. Or is it strike invincibility? Either way, it's ok I guess. Could be less risky than whiffing a DP, but enh. The second hit of j.2b seems not to whiff all the time in combos now? If so, it would be easy to set up oki or extend damage after an air combo. Might even be able to end in Risette field forcing them to commit to a block on wakeup and leaving you at perfect mixup range.

If last tournament was any indication, we're all bad players. :p

#WhensXRD Seriously tho, I hate lazy netcode. There's no reason vanity stage effects need to be transmitted unless the stage itself affects the battle! But I guess devs can get away with that when their entire country's almost half the size of Texas. :p Either way, 'twas still fun.

Woo, ggs everyone! Grats on Brazil for winning the world cup. Very nice last match on the 2v2 sets FruitPawnch and yWaffle. Sorry I was so useless in the end. I really have no experience vs. regular Sho :p

I read it as October 1 2015 too and was all damn thats a long time. XD
