If you ever see me hosting a room, feel free to join. (Or invite me if you ever see me online) Fairly decent Carmine player here, though I really need to work on my pressure game.

GGs to everyone involved, good games all around. Commentating was a lot of fun, let me know if you want me around again.

In that case, I can definitely participate. Thanks for the head's up.

Have you decided who you want to commentate? I'd like to know if I should have my mic and headphones on hand. EDIT: Also, how long will this tournament take, approximately? I have other plans for today, so I might have to leave early if this goes on for too long. This probably won't be an issue, though, unless this takes 5+ hours.

"Sweep the leg."

It was with Kagura, to anyone wondering.

No worries, good luck with your cosplay!

100-0? As in, take off all of her health? Also, do you mean as a punish to the pseudo unblockable set-up, or a raw OD Black Hole?

I'm still salty about that run-up DP-RC-DP-RC-DP from forever ago. I baited the first one. Then the second one. Not the third one.

For sprites, go here: http://in-birth.wikia.com/wiki/Carmine_(Gameplay)?file=Sd-car.png To just buy a cosplay, go here: http://m.cosplayfu.com/product/Carmine+Cosplay+from+Under+Night+In+Birth I plan on cosplaying him as well, so I suggested the idea to them. You'll need to buy a wig seperately, though.

I remember back in Extend, all of my Ragna pressure was HF-Throw or HF-ID. Pro Ragna.

Okay, enough. If you want to talk shit, do it somewhere else. Send Private Messages, make a blog post, whatever. This isn't the place.

Treat Chain Shift like Rapid Cancel when in a combo or Overdrive when in neutral. That seems to work for me. As for Shield... I guess treat it like a mixture between Barrier Blocking and Haku's Drive? As in, press D while holding either 4 or 3 to block highs or lows, making things more punishable. I'm oversimplifying things a lot here, I know. Honestly, just playing is the best way to learn.

Also, I should be able to commentate, but it's not something I have any experience with.

GGs to everyone played. Shoutouts to the Nanase main that ragequit on my Carmine. Stay free.

That's 5PM in Denmark, I believe. I should be available at that time. PSN: EXmAceOfHearts12 EDIT: 6PM, apparently. Same deal.

Is j.214A + on block? A Seth player I fought did j.214A-214 and I couldn't interrupt it.

Just bum rush him. Got it. As for Vatista: Shield all day, Chains Shift, 41236D. I've yet to fight a scrubby Vatista, but this is the strategy I'd use against one.

That was pretty helpful, nice job. He's pretty rough to deal with, I'll definitely try to delay tech more often against him from now on. Now I just gotta learn to block his mix-up.

I'm having a lot of trouble catching Byakuya when in neutral. He can stay in the air for so long, and his mobility is through the rough. I sometimes place my 236A/B in the way of his jumps out of pure luck, but I can't predict his trajectory well enough to do it regularly. I also have no idea how to punish his 236X-236X-214X. I can punish 236X-214X since he hangs right in front of my face for a second, but he goes way too high for me to reach him after if he does the cancel after the second rekka. It just seems like he gets to infinitely do Stuff-236X-236X-214X-(Places one airborne net and one grounded net)-Land-Stuff-Repeat. I can only block his mix-up for so long before his damn force function gets me.

GGs to whoever I had played that wasn't using obvious troll tactics or repeating stupid tactics. I can't get over how awful Chaos is in this game. He's so much worse than everyone else, it's laughable.

That's absolutely godlike.

Chaos' 236A-236B chain is hell because of this. 236A-623B every time, without fail.

Yes, it would've. I dunno why they changed it CP, it was meant to be j.A-j.C-j.236236C-RC-taunt-stuff.

Here, have another puzzle from me then. Using Valkenhayn, perform a taunt in the middle of a combo, then resume the combo. 100 meter, j.A starter. EDIT: Whoops, that doesn't work in CP, my bad. Ah, here's one: Using Ragna, use 5 Inferno Dividers in a single combo. OD, 100 meter. Combo must not contain any normals!
