You can only do j.D~B+C with the staff planted, to clarify. It doesn't work if the staff has been launched.

He won NEC's BB singles. Not sure about teams.

It was nice to meet you. I was the guy with long black hair

Melty also has 51 for singles.

They are emoticons.

Welcome to the boards!

Congrats, LK.

She's hardly going to be low tier at all. Don't over-react so much, she had some things that were too strong and overall they've been taken care of while a couple of other nerfs have been thrown in. On paper she is still very much playable. And the things you learned are hardly a waste of time. :/ It's very disappointing to see new players not being able to understand how to apply previously learned things to later revisions, different characters, etc.

Was looking at some frame data, not sure if people know this yet or not. Even if you normal block 2D, you can punish with an immediate ItsuuB. 2D is -15 on normal block and ItsuuB is a total of 14 frames. ItsuuC is one frame too slow to do this on normal block. You need to have the staff obviously, but it's an easy, lazy way to punish it into 4K~. On IB you should dash buffer 5B for a better punish anyways.

Soft-ban? So we're just going to frown at people who pick him on the PS3 consoles? It's either ban or no ban, in my opinion. I'm fine either way, but for people who only have an Xbox and play BB, it is somewhat unfair to them on one hand. On the other, it's the same as if you had never gotten specific match-up experience with a certain character in any game. While there is no way that people could have fought Valk on Xbox, there's also the other side of the coin. It's really up to you guys but I don't think there's any real point in soft-banning, unless you mean hard-banning him for this event and this one only.

At least it's not 20 each way for EVO :P

Hell's Fang is really bad proration-wise, you're actually making virtually any combo worse by using it early on. The only times a CH makes the rest of the combo have more untechable frames is Fatal Counters, so only 2C CH will work for Ragna.

Posted this a little while ago. Please remove me from BB:CS and MB:AA, I can't make it out to NEC. I'm listed as MissedFRC.

6A also doesn't combo from 5C anymore.

the point your head

You're never supposed to do it without meter. So that's a non-factor. Good job on not being a scrub! Seriously.

Qaenyin is legit. You should come up and game with me again!

It's a cross-up and actually I've seen it used a fair amount of times, but it's always been with C Divider. Doing it after 22C is risky though because if the opponent doesn't tech out of stagger immediately then you don't get anything off of it.

Absolutely! The art print turned out great.

No date has been announced.

Alright, I was thinking that but I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

EDIT: nvm

So, does anyone know of a good way to paint the HRAP2's stick base? It's kinda old so it's yellowish and I just received my stick art today. I want the base to be black, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

It will probably look similar to the CT Ippatsu combo, assuming it even stays in.

Recorded quite a few casual vids at the meet tonight, I'll post links here when Spark uploads them.
