Hey OP, did you mean that you think SSFIVAE is badly designed or that you think GG and BB are badly designed?

EDIT: All right, cool.

This problem can be mitigated, though not abolished, with time spent in Training Mode getting a feel for SW loops. You're right that it'd be harder online, where your visual judgments of when to jump/hit might be off, but after a while you'll be able to kind of sense when to do it without really looking. Well, to be perfectly honest, none of these characters are all that easy. Bridget and I-no require a lot of mechanical practice at high levels of play, Zappa is like learning four and a half characters; May is the easiest of the ones you listed, but you'd have to learn how to do things like charge buffer. Personally, I'm of the school of thought that you should pick whoever you like best and play around with them! I know you're probably concerned that you won't get as much "bang for your buck" if you pick a mechanically difficult character, but if you're playing someone you enjoy more I think you'll have more fun in the long run. You seem to be tending toward Bridget, who is totally awesome, and you can do basic versions of Bridget's keepaway/oki game without needing to spend dozens of hours grinding in Training Mode. I'd also recommend you mess around with Axl a little bit. His oki's nothing special, but he has the longest normals in the game, and he can certainly play the zoning game (although he plays it pretty differently than most "zoning" characters).

Fifty minutes of Sol for you. Not sure which Sol, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnqtUyUyaHs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnqtUyUyaHs Does anyone know who this Sol is? Because he plays for a solid 50 minutes before finally getting ousted by Ruu.

Well, it's not the most implausible aspect of the list. People seemed to think she was A-tier before, so....

Yeah, that's what I meant, haha. Cool, that does seem easier! Thank you.

Hey, I've been working on: 5B 5C IAD j.C land j.A jc j.A(1) j.B j.2B 5A 5A 22B 5C 214D And I'm having trouble with the 22B -> 5C part of the combo. I've done it but it's such a tough link - does anyone have any suggestions?

>Non-Japanese GG players watching vids >"Wow, you must be Shounen!" >

Shinjin over the video discussion thread says Kabegiwa no DC told him it's Yakujin(te). I'd say that's pretty convincing evidence.

Oh. Well all right then. *nods*

Where do you live? And while we're at it, does +R have a release date?

RE: the unsourced, hasty-looking match-up chart: if we assume it to be accurate, we have 7 6.5/3.5 match-ups 74 6/4 match-ups 160 5.5/4.5 match-ups 59 5/5 match-ups (Not counting mirror matches and not double-counting, i.e. not counting both AX vs. MA and MA vs. AX) Not too bad, a little top-heavy but lots of small advantages. Still much better than any of the garbage balance Capcom puts out.

1/31/13 Mikado Singles Yaxl (AX) vs. Arisuma (VE) 2/1/13 a-cho tournament... Milky (OR) vs. BLUE (AX) Kabegiwa no DC (JO) vs. BLUE (AX) ...and freeplay BLUE (AX) vs. Milky (OR) - Whoa, 6H can jump FB Fafnir? BLUE (AX) vs. Yakujin (TE) BLUE (AX) vs. Yakujin (TE) BLUE (AX) vs. Yakujin (TE) BLUE (AX) vs. Yakujin (TE) MA vs. BLUE (AX) This BLUE person loves going for random resets and tech traps (check out his liberal application of 5H!). Can't blame him, but he does it more often than any other Axl I've seen. EDIT: According to doragonkoroshi over in the videos thread, the Testament player BLUE fights is none other than Shounen! EDIT 2: Actually, it's Yakujin.

It looks like it's pretty much exactly upon landing. The reason you haven't seen it much is that it's not very good; Axl Bomber lost its overhead properties and it's hard to combo into at mid-screen, so there's not a lot of mix-up potential and not a lot of extra combo potential.

No kidding. Playing against one of the top 10 GG players of all time will do that to you. --- Takarin (AX) vs. Yasu (SL) Daikiba (RO) vs. Takarin (AX) Boushi (IN) vs. Takarin (AX) 1/29/13 Mikado Random 2v2 Tourney Yaxl (AX) vs. Toteko Hamtaro (JU) - This match-up still looks really rough for Justice, IMO. Yaxl is totally content to poke from outside Justice's range and bait bursts off of every random hit, while Justice has to work very hard to start her N.B. game.

Does anyone in OH play Touhou Hisoutensoku? Because I play it now and it's mad fun.

You mean, for Version 1.1? Where are you seeing them?
