qwerty

are you instant blocking?

you just jealous because nobody would ever make an "unban spirit juice" shirt

sogos nabnu

do you guys ship to west coast?

after watching a bit of yesterday's stream, here's the advice i have for norcal bb: 1. practice instant blocking 2. stop dropping combos

when magnetized, you can backdash cancel hotaru to beat command grab.

koogy, you need to start selling unban sogos shirts

purple grabs only occur when the opponent throws you during block or hitstun. if he doesn't wait until you're out of hitstun to grab you (like RC 360 or something), it will be a purple grab. but if he does wait, then he gets the typical, untechable command grab.

i miss drunken bomberman at chris' i'm such a bum~

only if i can get a ride yo. i'll be home from class at 9; any takers? pm me.

you're right, i should've been a bit more clear. if you ask me, using hotaru as your answer to everything is shortsighted and overall detrimental to your growth as a player. the fact of the matter is, you're not learning to poke, you're just mashing dp. in any other game (or even as any other character in bb) this will get you KILLED. that, and actually good players respect hotaru, so you're just blowing meter against them. i especially love when people get all excited that they landed an fc hotaru; it's like, you're not the first person to dp a poke on reaction, and you won't be the last. did you think you invented masturbation when you were twelve, too? anyways, irresponsible use of hotaru is one of the two major problems facing most hakumen players, i think. the other being irresponsible use of the d button. i'll elaborate a bit more on it once i finally finish that godforsaken guide (i wanted to finish it last month, but since finals are next week i can probably finish it ONCE AND FOR ALL soon) but for now i'll leave it at this; learn to ib, and whenever you want to counter, ib instead. this is the first step to becoming a respectful hakumen player.

maybe i'm just getting old, but i'm not really a fan of dash cancel hotaru anymore. it's not like it's bad (far from it, lol), it's just that you're not going to learn how to play footsies if your answer to mid range pokes is always hotaru. i'm much more impressed by a hakumen that actually knows how to use 5B and 5C than one that just mashes hotaru all the time.

^lol how old is old?

i wasn't really targeting anyone in particular, rather the sentiment itself. st is probably the single best game to learn basics from. but, that doesn't mean that once you learn st basics that you can suddenly just jump in to any other game you want without any practice. especially guilty gear, lol.

in bb? are you nuts? jumping is retardedly strong in bb, lol. just because a lot of people try to jump from disadvantage doesn't mean it's generally easy to stuff jumps. and once you're in the air, what the hell is the other guy going to do? most characters don't have a good answer to jump + barrier even in cs. i'm not kidding in the least when i say that downback in bb is actually upback.

playing st doesn't make you better at anything else, fyi. there's plenty of st players who suck at 3s and cvs2. bb fundamentals pretty much boil down to this; try to keep the other guy honest and scared to jump. if he doesn't jump, you're golden. if he does jump, you have to play air footsies.

not really. i guess i win by default, though.

hey guys please don't shit on bb! *constantly spews nonsense about sfiv*

scott you need to let us empty quote in this thread

and you chose the filthy one with herp

i'd much rather be bad at a good game than be bad at a bad one.
