Silmerion

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19455035 I've noticed in a lot of Amane matches that there's downtime where the players are at opposite sides of the screen. My thinking is that's the perfect time to get a free 6D and build some meter, but I haven't seen that utilized much.

Something I'm noticing here is that Sol's standing hitbox gets slightly smaller when he breathes out. Crazy stuff.

11/3/12 Miracle Dome Singles SO vs. AX 11/17/12 Mikado 3on3 BLE (AX) vs. Ochiai (PO) - The logical conclusion to the Axl vs. Potemkin match-up. BLE (AX) vs. En (SL) BLE (AX) vs. Kazunoko (KL) - GO HOME KLIFF :<

If only that was how balance worked.

Aw, man. I'll be in Wisconsin. Lame.

11/15/12 Mikado Singles Sorakumon (JU) vs. Jinren (AX) - Haven't seen much footage of this match-up. Kind of looks like Axl just shuts down all of her options - N.B. disappearing when Justice gets hit is especially rough against a character that can hit you instantly from across the screen, and full-screen Rashou makes it hard for Justice to turtle. En (SL) vs. Jinren (AX) - En does his thing.

Could you elaborate a little? You say "a bunch," but all I can really pick out is 2H->2D and wake-up 3P.

Mikado Casuals vol. 36 - KON (AX) vs. FAB (PO) EDIT: Youtube link in case you're incredibly lazy and still haven't created a Nicovideo account

Also, dem Rashous. "Oh, you went for a defensive fullscreen Rensen? BETTER FULLSCREEN RASHOU ON REACTION"

FAB doesn't fuck around.

So, wait - EVERY special move is now OS throw break?

11/6/12 Mikado Random 2v2 Tourney AX vs. AB AX vs. JA AX vs. AB Guess this was a two-Axl team, haha.

They're really dumb drops, too, like 5P -/> (6K or 2S). Even I don't make those mistakes.

10/26/12 Okayama Fantasista AX vs. TE - I think that this is Niiyama! You can hear the announcer say it. He seems...rusty. 11/1/12 Mikado Singles Ebihara (IN) vs. Yaxl (AX) Yaxl (AX) vs. Godolphin (MA) Yaxl (AX) vs. Kuni (BA) Yaxl (AX) vs. AGF (AN) Yaxl (AX) vs. Lark (MA) - Yaxl takes it all! This post's batch is interesting because I think it highlights Axl's different playstyles really well: Yaxl is very conservative and is more interested in using Axl's excellent defensive tools to punish mistakes from across the screen, while Niiyama's aggressive and tricky style is focused on forcing the opponent to make those mistakes. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but it's neat to see.

Hot damn. Full orbs for 50% meter?

So how's the weather for you guys? Classes aren't canceled for tomorrow yet but there's pretty much no way I'm making the 15-minute trudge to the quad in this garbage, haha.

Not sure where to post this: One thing I've noticed Ruu does in matches is he always 1-frame jumps his IADs. Is that just Ruu being Ruu or is it a particularly good thing for Bridget players to be able to do? EDIT: Oh, there's an FAQ about this.

Is this Kabegiwa no DC, or just someone playing like him?

Hey guys, this is really last-minute, but I can't find my copy of GGXXAC+. If anyone has an Accent Core/AC+ disc they'd be willing to loan me for the duration of Console Combat, I assure you it will come back to you safe and sound.

10/18/2012 Mikado Singles Jonio (JO) vs. Yosuke (AX) AGF (AN) vs. Kaon (AX) Nothing too great about this batch. It kinda felt like neither player hit any kind of groove.

Niconico is now in English. What is even happening oh my goodness
