Litchi was her worst matchup (tied with herself) at 5-5. The Litchi matchup got worse mostly because her average damage went up and Lambda's went down (from Nu that is). Litchi still retained her really good normals and her pressure got even better. The Bang matchup got worse because he closed the damage gap and can now combo off of pretty much anything. Everything else he kept... Tao? I haven't played a good Tao yet, but that could change this weekend. It's probably a stupid matchup though. As far as normals go, anything into 5B is your best bet as far as blockstrings AND damage go. On a side note, everyone should listen to Xie and pulsr as far as Lambda goes. They're not stupid.

I definitely want to try and make more of these. Big Eric holds monthlies too (Springfield, PA... right outside of Philly), and I help him run them, so hopefully these tournaments don't conflic too much. I was supposed to bring a few guys from Jersey but they had more important things to take care of that came up last minute. GGAC was too much fun. I'll be back for more in the future. Thanks against for hosting guys.

Our matches were good. But yeah, that's a lot of footage, damn.

I'm coming to this... are you guys good with setups?

Sounds lame. I'd rather go skiing, get drunk, and play MBAA.

Not like you're gonna place that high anyway D: umad.

Yeah, at first I was thinking about taking Monday off but I don't want to waste my vacation time on just a day for travel. I decided I'd rather just feel like shit at work for a day due to lack of sleep. Just let me know your plans once you figure out how many people are staying with you guys. 10 and I only need floor space... we wont take your comfy beds from you.

I'm going to FR and I'd get a room with you guys. I would be flying out Friday night and leaving late Sunday night (so I'd only be staying in the room Friday and saturday nights, not sure if you were planning to stay longer). 10stars wants to go as well. So if you needed help splitting a room you could count us in.

LK here. I finally got to try this. What do you do when the 5c of (itsuuA 6kote 5c 5d jC) if the 5C doesn't hit OTG? The combo isn't that hard, the damage is obscene off of 2C. Off 5B it looks like only 2 reps are possible.

The only way you could make people somewhat care about a BB event at Evo is to do one of two things: -Make it a invitational teams format (regional 5v5/3v3 would be ideal). Note: get even MORE feedback from the community on this if you actually do plan to take this path. -Get BBCS instead. If you can't/won't do either you should forfeit the spot to a game that is more deserving. I think most people here would support Melty since there's community overlap. IMO, Melty should get the spot as the community is more deserving and supports their game 100%. P.S. - Whatever you do, just don't replace it with GG, that would be like replacing BBCT with CvS2 but without all the support behind it. Keep GG a side tourney (as Hellmonkey said).

Monthly would be win.

Everyone should vote for MBAA instead.

I hear NY sucks at games and they all play T6 now. Sad days are upon us... Alz, show them the light that is GG and MBAA.

No, since her 5D isn't a multi-hit move. Follow-ups don't get this type of property. The only time stuff like this happens is when you CH with a multi-hit move, or you get a fatal counter. FC's increase the tech time by a few frames for each hit in the combo iirc. I'm not sure exactly what number it is... it's probably written in stunedge's mechanics guide. Edit:

It was a dropped combo. It won't work. Also, for the record, Tager was hit out of a forward tech roll (he wasn't actually in the air). Just thought I'd point that out <3 4DD > 236C will combo at certain distances if you catch someone in the air with 4DD. 5DD > 236C can accomplish the same thing but it's character/spacing/#hits specific. I haven't gotten it to work consistently because I don't get many opportunities to try it, but they both work... it's just tough to pull off. Now that I think about it, FC j214D RC > 5DD > 236C could work... I was more impressed with 2nd hit of 5DD CH > 236C... I had no clue that comboed... these mashing idiots have proved useful. Is Tager in CH state during the recovery of sledge?

I don't know whether to be happy for you guys that you get more bang for your buck, or be sad because running tournaments on it will now take long as fuck (whether it be teams or singles). After what happened last time, would it even be possible for them to change the rounds for the tournament? Next time I'm at The Break I'll talk to the owner about letting me run tournaments. We got the screen changed to game mode so there's no lag (less then 1 frame)... turns out the TV settings reset when it's turned off. Would NY actually show up or would they flake?

Any of you losers going to Winter Brawl?

Tournament is over...

It's a gimmick. You won't see it done that often.

One day would be ideal.

Yeah, everyone there made it hype... but not as hype as technika. I WANT MY PLATINUM MEMBER CARD!!!!!!!!!

Biscuits trying to be a part of the BB community? Where were you hiding a year ago? All shittalking aside, LK and I would definitely be down for this.

Throwing that out at Tager while he's on the ground standing there is a deathwish. You should be using 236C to catch people in the air or while they're already in blockstun (or both). Using it in pressure is alright but you need to keep it fresh.

236C can be BEAT by a lot of things, but it's not punishable block. I'm not sure if it's safe on IB, but I wouldn't be surprised... I've never been hit after doing it. j214D is a powerful move in terms of high/low and it's safe on block when you space it well or use it while they're already in hitstun (Super/214D/214DC/236D). All I'm saying is that you have lots of safe/unpunishable ways to remove guard primer. I wouldn't be surprised if she had the best moveset out of the cast for doing so. If you're not taking advantage of this then you're not playing the character to their full potential. I'd say the only GC moves that are 100% PUNISHABLE on block are 214A/B/C and 632146D. Throwing these out without hitconfirming first are always a risk.
