lulz, looks like I'm waaaaaay late to join the translation train since I just got back from grinding End of Eternity for the past two weeks. If this thing is still looking for translators I can offer to do the Litchi section. But if you already have help then disregard this comment.

Are you planning on scanning all the pages of the mook when it arrives and distributing to these translators you're looking for?

Oh man this is hype. Maybe for future tourneys I can setup my schedule to allow the day trip.

GG not in the poll is pretty hype.

Jesus SRK Evo board is just one gigantic tl;dr right now. What were all the games that were announced for Evo? At work, can't stream recorded podcast. 8( And Ken not going? Think of the ladies you will be missing (quite literally because of the other SF4 tourney)...

So beginner mode is allowed right?

Having your jokes turn into a WC meme should be an honor. Also, LADIES should always be bold font, underlined unless you can't help it.

Now accepting applications from all LADIES for 2v2 tournament (no fat chicks.)

There's not much to say other than the fact that you drop combos and fail to maximize them for damage and/or setup every time you get a clean hit. If you were aware of this then you already know that you need to practice execution in training mode. If you were NOT aware that your combos were suboptimal then you need to go research how to maximize them and practice. As far as playstyle goes, the thing that stuck out most to me was your habit of 6B[m]ing at point-blank range (happens at numerous instances.) I'll just tell you that it's a bad idea to 6B[m] haphazardly, especially in this match up because Tao can not only low-stance it but dance around it with ease. Frequently throwing out 6B[m]'s isn't a kosher strategy and it is only working here because your opponent doesn't know how to deal with it and never baits/evades/punishes it (he even fails to punish it when he instant blocks it in your face.) FYI, the 6A[m]>2D combos only work if you're close enough to the opponent. Otherwise you are better off doing 6A>[m]>Haku>etc unless you're specifically trying to bait burst or something.

She's different. Stick with one of the three suggested.

I actually used Brett at AX09. True story.

I think the reason why Bang was suggested earlier is because you can play him CT style and still get results. Same with Ragna, and to an extent Tager. I disagree with the earlier suggestions of Jin, Litchi, and Hakumen.

Off of CH with staff it's usually 5k since you can go into 5Bor5Cor2C>IttsuA. The combo can be very hard to get into (and often times not possible) if you clip them with the tip of the super midscreen non-CH while they are grounded. The opponent is more floaty on CH so it open doors for follow-ups, but follow-ups are not always guaranteed depending on character, screen position, and whether you have your staff or not. Follow-ups also become easier if you clip them while they are midair (for instance while they are IADing) since it adds height to their wall bounce. Basically the return varies between just the super to 5k+oki. Edit: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9159066 Litchi midscreen Daisharin combo starts around 10:00. He misses the finish but the important part is all the stuff before that. He does it again later but screws up. I'll see if I can't find the other videos where the combo actually finishes.

Yes, after 6C+staff return knockdown you can go into Daisharin in the 3 direction to pick them up. In the corner I have seen B&B...>6C>Daisharin(333333)>IAD (you should be airborne after Daisharin) j.B>j.C>land>Chun (maybe tk?)>Chun>staff falls>6C>3C. Going off of memory, feel free to correct me. This nets her around 6k damage + knockdown with staff set in 2D position for oki. I wish I had the video but I don't feel like wading through links atm. I was informed Daisharin combos work midscreen as well with a different combo for Litchi, mostly involving j.C's and Chuns to dribble the opponent back down to the staff super. At any rate, I -sometimes- don't understand why Litchi holds on to 100% meter but most of the time it's because her supers are only situationally useful. Daisharin - Situationally useful for control, but most characters have metered options that will punish random Daisharin activation. Jin can wave super, Tao can 214214B, Bang can run super if you do it point blank, Nu can arrow super, Litchi can Ryuuiisou or activate her own Daisharin, Tager can situationally spinny super, doing it against Hakumen puts both characters at a high-risk/high-reward situation. Granted, there are many opportunities when Litchi can freely Daisharin but there are times she needs to respect the opponent and refrain from doing it. Kokushi Musou - Setups for this (especially in CT) were 99% all gimmicks that could be tech-rolled out of. There are some pretty legitimate-looking setups in the corner now with Kokushi in CS with the ender: IttsuC>6C(2hits)>6Kote>back dash>wait. If they roll they'll be placed point back for you to pressure, if the quick-tech you can Kokushi. But even this can be jumped out of under certain situations. To be honest, the only Kokushi setup I see that gets full respect is air CH Tsubame 25% away from the corner>Kokushi. Furthermore, like Daisharin, some opponents have metered options against Kokushi setups so there are situations where it's better to simply not do it. Ryuuiisou - Actually, this is a good super. The fear of having 50% is often scarier than the super itself. Blah blah blah I talk too much.

Hey Mike, I got a text from you two hours ago but I dunno what that was about. I'm assuming it was about this? :O

Somehow, I can't help but feel this is a gigantic troll. But 5A.

FIRST OFF TGS I AM NOT FROM NORCAL, DON'T ASSOCIATE ME WITH THOSE SCRUBS. I AM FROM MID-CAL/SLOCAL ORIGINALLY SOCAL. But California in general is filled with scrubs so I guess this is a moot point! SECOND, mooyang, your guesses aren't too far off because Ken has definitely talked smack before and when he does IT HITS DEEP BELOW THE BELT.

I just got home, the sun is coming up, and this thread kinda exploded like the jizz all over your hair. AC was fun. CS was CS. I almost ran over a puppy that darted out into the street.
