Kona blue nine is coming but i think he is staying the night.

87 michael road, new london, ct. Come get some games. were playing till 3-4 in the morning. Come get your fill even if you come late.

Shibuya will be making a very rare appearance on thursday at my place. I recommend you guys all make the trip. You know Brandon still proclaims himself as the top guilty gear player in th area. Anyone willing to come down to either put him down and/or wish him a good trip back. Games start at around 6.

Josh where you been son. No love for ct anymore. Havent seen your ass in forever.

guess whos going to act. get hype

Damn josh did you ever know that youre my hero. But can you reschedule the date. Usually i Play with sam on mondays. If not then i will figure something out. I want to get some games in as well. just not soo much bb.

josh why cant we just play. and why cant you go to game unicon?

OK OK so I got that information but it still hasn't answered my block string/ mix up question. Now i know 2k is an option and fdc k is an option but what do you guys usually do to mix it up. I know sometimes I can do 2k into 5p into 6hs and it catches people. Does anybody use the jump cancel part of 2k? if I run in and do c.S into S into HS if it connects i do pogo if it doesn't connect then i usually either hand slap or run and f.S into 2k or item or maybe 2HS into the pogo spear grab (forgot what it was called). What do you guys usually do when you get people in the corner (don't worry it doesn't have to be character specific)

is there a good way to see when testament uses that overhead. It comes out fast and it looks like he is doing a low attack.

hmm my worst match ups are against testament, milia, and Eddie. I just started learning stick so i will be learning to FDC very soon to add to my arsenal but I seem to do OK without it for now. I want to see if I can lock down testament in the corner so I am not chasing him down and falling for the traps. I try and sit back and throw items but the beast always catches me. With Milia I just can't seem to stop her rush down. I played Marlin Pie this weekend and every time I tried an anti air I would get hit by the pin. If I don't anti air he rushes me down and does a block string and IAD again or throws me into an air combo. I can't seem to get even a 5p in there so I am not sure what to do. We don't have an Eddie player here to play against yet. (NerdJosh is developing a very nice Eddie) Once he masters him I will have more match up experience and will be able to see the mix ups a little better. Eddie's 2S is a pain to deal with. My oki is pretty weak but I try to make it work. I use 2k and have a few options for there. I can throw an item out after the first hit of 2k and then use the command throw, I can gattle after 2k with 2p 2s 2d into item or pogo, I can 5p after 2k and do 6HS or poke with 2p, I can use the karate chop force break, or i do 2k again and basically force the opponent to guess which option i will go with next. Josh showed me this quick overhead if you dont have a burst. It basically cancels the jumping drill into the dust for a quick overhead. I have not really tried this yet because I am still trying to just get used to using the joystick. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know of any good block strings to use when you get someone in the corner.

Thanks Senkei, I will have to try this.

well here are a few things you can use. first run up and use 2k after the first hit cancel into the item throw then right after do Mettakiri. The opponent will usually expect to block 3 hits but the item throw usually confuses them and by the time they can react mettakiri will be hitting them. (don't use it too much but it catches people off guard when you mix it up). If you are using 2k the opponent generally will be blocking low you can run up and do 5k and this will whiff the opponent if they are blocking low in which case you do the mettakiri to catch them. The last thing you can try is to throw a bomb bag right behind them (usually in the corner). You don't want the bomb bag to hit him but right behind him so the explosion will hit him. then you land and mettakiri.
