Binh Mighty

Tournament was horribly unorganized other than that it was great seeing everyone and people still maintaining the scene it looks like. I'm just a washed up scrub now

I have sort of the same problem too, its bad for TX where I'm at. The best ping I can get from west or east coast rather is 2 bars, which kinda sucks but I guess netplay is better than no play? I guess I just need better internets, but I'm not even sure if thats going to work. ggs to you too, we had some legit sets going on.

Just got back home... Good games from yesterday and today. Mad props to Pfhor having a good set on winners and grand finals. I got slightly outplayed and nice reads overall. Shout outs to: Mightfo's gathering Telling Sunfish that I would go to his place and end up not going again (felt tired after Dtown) Back to back instant kills that happen at Mights, one on Blazblue and P4 Hype matches at Dtown P4 having the most participants Close matches with Woof and Pfhor Ronin showing up to D-town randomly People in Arlington taking their own cars to Plano instead of carpooling

Whaaaa? You weren't even there either Might? Same with Jet also, I would love to practice but until then next week for sure.

ggs to silfer21, qistoptier, prototype-03, kazukifafner, and assassin1589 the past 2-3 days of playing.

ggs to everyone i play the past weekend.

is teh gameroom in a-kon free? im not paying $50 bux

Nice to meet you, I been in the fighting game scene for 7 years (2003), mostly it was for GG and Street Fighter. But now I'm interested in Arcana Heart 3. Where can I find competition here. I postly more on SRK, and been inactive on DL for the longest time Zach, GG is dead bro =/

harro

Cool combo, but I just confirmed that after the 214B, 3D... it's not an IAD, its just simply a j.B (wind pushes towards your target so it looked like a IAD) Does this combo only works on Jin and Noel? I haven't tried other characters yet.

Copy and pasted from Versus City Blog Famitsu has created a special page for Tougeki, and has upped nine match vids for everyone to check out. You can find the page here, and then scroll down to find the vids. Three vids are from SF4, and have Daigo going up against Nuki, Mago and Iyo. I believe these may be the matches from the kumite that Arcadia magazine put together, because I checked Mago’s BP total (easiest to check) and it’s almost exactly the same when comparing the two vids. The other trio of vids are from 3rd Strike and see Boss going up against Rikimaru, Raoh vs. Rikimaru, and Raoh vs. Boss. Finally, the last trio of vids are from Blazblue and feature Ren vs. Inoue, Ren vs. Halloween, and Inoue vs. Halloween. http://www.famitsu.com/sp/tougeki2009/

I haven't had match up problems until this week. I beat most Tagers, but I bumped into a person who was giving me troubles. I'm having problems whenever a good Tager is up-close. Like I was practicing instant blocking his 5C because most Tagers will go into 5D or 236B after a 5C, and that can be punishable if you instant block the 5C. The problem is some Tagers don't go into 5C and would mix up with "X" number of 5A to like 5D or 236B (or something?). Then I'm stuck in Tager's pressure I know that 5D and 236B can be backdashed, but the question is can you backdash these attacks on reaction? If you backdash too early, you'll get hit at the last frame of his attacks and if you do it too late you'll get hit. What are my safest option? Just block? Mash backdash(lol), Backdash on reaction? I'm known to play safe in most fighting games, can anyone give me pointers what to do when hes close up? I always tend to use my dead angle whenever he is up close, without it I'm pretty much a sitting duck.

How do you guys punish her 623D (Dragon Punch) move on block? Sometimes when I do knife/fork, shes be able to block, whiff or it won't counter hit. I only play Litchis online, its probably lag? Litchi is -20 frame disadvantage on block and Rachel's 6B is 15 frame start up. Also how do you guys bait the DP? Does pumpkin overrides that? Like the way I bait is I just run up to their body after knockdown, but better players know when to use DP. I feel that because of her 623D move, it makes me play too safe and I can't play my oki game that I usually do.

I made a playlist on youtube on Rachel videos (mostly of her winning in the end of the sets) that I wanted to share. I just gather up the vids I could find and put them on there. I ordered the videos oldest to newest. (page 1 to page 2) http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A0070B037D86DAA1 If anyone have good mention videos worth adding link it here please.

I had some troubles with Carl last night that I met. I don't know this match up really well, but whenever you get between Nirvana and Carl and does that punch loop and you block it... How do I get out of that loop? Is it just simply barrier block and jump out? Also should I play this game zone out wise or rush down style or both? I played about 3 Carls in whole PSN so far. *edit* I wasn't getting owned or anything, it was more back and forth thing. I just want to be more consistent on my wins.

Mash 5A and mix-up with high and low. -_- Don't open with 3C if the situation if both people dash each other because Rachel's 2A or 5B will beat it. If you ever air combo Rachel and she air tech recovers, watch for her j.2C if she whiffs without using wind shes in for a big combo. For the most part, try to gain momentum and get her corner, all she can really do is block really well or do 2C (really unsafe move without 50% heat)

This helps a lot. Seeing that 3C has a slower start up frame then Rachel's normals. Also if you block one of her drive attacks, do electric chair in between it. But don't do this too often or she can mix up and make you whiff. So just try blocking better (although its a bit harder online wise) Try to zone her really well with frog and pumpkin and 236, if you can put her into a block stun you are advantage. If you get her into a combo, always try to drag her to the corner. Some Noels like to come down with j.D after air tech that beats anti-air usually, whenever they land they like to do Spring Raid (Flash kick looking move), so just block it and it should be a free combo if they don't have 50 percent meter.

Thanks for the feedback, very informative. Does anyone know Bang's BnB combo? I like to record it during training mode and see what my options are whenever i do block it. I'm going to guess to do electric chair on the 4th hit, seeing that the 5th hit is his drive.

Good stuff Soniti. Keep it up!

Even though Bang is low tier, I don't play this match up that often. Bangs I played like to cross up kick a lot so I just jump with him trying to catch him with j.C. But the problem lies whenever he puts pressure me and throws out that stupid counter. Is there a way to stop that or bait it? I try to throw too much to avoid the counter but I end up getting hit from his pressure string because I guess wrong. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Shout out to Spark on PSN. GGs Beat me 2-0, nice Haku-men

just dropping by to say whats up? i normally don't post good seeing you coby!

After 6P, you would want to do heat because of the ridiculous amount of tension you get out of it. And the mix-up you get afterwards.
