GGs. Mitsuru's neutral game is so strong.

Yeah, very nice stuff. The combo timer makes a lot of sense.

Well, I've still got stuff to do, so it doesn't look like I'm going to stop by tonight. I'll try to make it out next time.

GGs everyone, and thanks for hosting, Ruben. Tempered - Not sure if I'll stop by tonight or not. It really depends on how much work I get done, and I've got a fair amount to do.

Speaking of stuff that seems broken, what the hell is this? -> http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22718136

I like Melty and I'll play it, but it's been a while since the last update. Can't we all just play +R instead?

GGs everyone. It was fun. And congrats to Ted for winning.

How many setups have we got? I can bring an extra one if need be, but I don't have Brokonoe (but I have +R! That's even better, right??). On the other hand, if there are no +R setups, I might bring one for casuals. Is anyone out there already bringing +R?

I might as well. Also, when's the BBCP ranbats? Is that today? Anyone have a link to the info on it? EDIT: Nevermind, found it: https://www.facebook.com/events/642267052503382/

Looks like Xrd is hitting arcades in February (much earlier than I expected): http://shoryuken.com/2014/01/17/guilty-gear-xrd-sign-launching-in-arcades-in-february-dengeki-bunko-fighting-climax-to-follow-in-march/ I'm guessing this will mean a smaller character roster than I'd hoped for as well.

GGs people.

You might be able to buffer dash 5K during the hit pause. That should catch people midscreen. I'm guessing it will make the OS really vulnerable to reversals, though. I've been meaning to do some testing of my own, but I keep forgetting. I'll try to remember to do some tonight.

GGs to everyone yesterday, and thanks again to Tempered for hosting.

I should be able to give you a ride home if no one else can, Erik. I'm not sure exactly how late I'll be staying, though.

Nice video, but I see you got 5K 2D when they back dashed. I think you should be able to hit confirm j.S 2K, though, so it's a minor complaint. Also, I think it's a bit easier if you can do j.H (2) consistently on crouching characters (except for the few characters it whiffs on). It just gives you more time to hit confirm. You'll probably still need to be careful of slow reversals with this option select. The window between blocking and activating 5K is wide enough to catch fast moves like Sol's H VV, but against some slow start-up overdrives it's going to be a lot harder to keep everything perfect.

I'm down to play some games.

fb.me/3v801IMP5 Welp.

Yes, do j.S/j.H and do 5K during the block stun of the meaty. If you did it right, you'll get j.S/j.H if they block (you may see the beginnings of j.K if you did j.S), and you'll get 5K if they backdash. This does tend to work better in the corner. I'm not sure who it works against or doesn't work against mid-screen. If you're deep enough, I think it should probably still work mid-screen against most characters. You can also do 6+H+K and catch some throw vulnerable reversal supers, like Baiken's overdrive, and still get 5K if they backdash.

Very nice. How do BR loops in Xrd work? In #Reload, they were off of ground BR, not j.BR, so there could be some differences if Xrd follows #Reload.

Are the ranbats only BB? No +R?

GGs to everyone who has kicked my ass, which is everyone I've played.

Well, I'm down for any of those games, so I'll be there. I'm guessing I'll get there about 8:30ish.

I was planning on stopping by. Not sure how late I'll stay, though.
