ggs to psychofang, star-demon, & swagna5b shout-outs to being so unmemorable your name remains forgotten & becomes a meaningless statistic on someone's d-card.

Those Jam Instant Kills actually made my day. Could you pm me some feedback from our matches?

GGs to Star-Demon. Dat pocket Potemkin!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SwOfpCT4nc&feature=plcp 5D Enma looks pretty nice. Sorry, I don't know how to do timestamps; occurs at 4:34 & 5:15. EDIT: Thank you, Timestamps for Dummies!

I thought that was Hakumen's crush trigger. EDIT: Oh, well. Looks hype nevertheless.

Looks at nerf to Hakumen's drive> shrugs (3 cheers for homogeneity) Looks at how fast Hakumen gains magatama through use of his drive & cutting> salivates.

GGs to Hige & Zeth. Shout-outs to compulsive netplay addiction, it's a silent killer.

GGs to Zeth, Biscuits, Tempest, Jason900, and anyone else whose name escapes me.

With the "improvements" to Zanshin, the opponent should have to spend meter(25% sound ok?) in order to block the drive. To me, resisting a reversal sounds like a higher level technique that shouldn't be given for free. That's like some random biker punk in Hokuto no Ken out-countering Toki whilst wearing a troll face.

ggs to demon wind bomb, kazukifafner, pandora_gunblade, & aba. bgs to me for getting repeatedly blown up like a boss. shout outs to black spot trolling.

I agree about maintaining patience & defense, Kanji can break Asterious as easily as Mitsuru if given the chance. Maintaining 5D while you're not on the offence is key. There are Kanji players that will literally bully Asterious to dictate the pace of the match and try to force you into Kanji's loving embrace. Those guys may be a rarity for now, but as time progresses their tactics will become more common.

This is only my match-up experience, I don't pretend to be remotely good. If I get rushed from the get go, 5D provides some breathing room to spot any openings or patterns. As soon as I see Labrys with red axe gauge, I try to back off and punish approaches while the axe gauge cools down. Jump over any winch dash attempts, use 8C after the chain whiffs, & shift momentum back in your favour. Without Asterious, I always seem to lose or just clash in any air to air battles with Labrys. Perhaps AA is better approach for Labrys that like jumping in a lot. As far the Ariadane factor, Labrys seems relatively safe from Shadow Labrys' A & B repetoire as long as the Labrys doesn't call out Ariadane when you're in their face. At the same time, Labrys is wide open to 8C, 214C/D, & (4)6C/D. Executed at the right distance, they'll be one step closer to a persona break & you can start your own combos. I've never tried using 5D against brutal impact. Derp: 236C/D might be a safer option against Labrys' 236236C/D then 214C/D if you want Asterious to avoid contact with Ariadane's attack.

GGs to everyone I played on ranked and player, you enabled my Shadow Labrys to become more scummy. Going to go give Asterius a big hug.

GGs to Zeth. Can't turn my back on this game.

GGs to Cookie and others I played in player. Why did I decide to pick up Shadow Labrys instead of Labrys?

Guess we got to take the good with the bad until next loketest. How safe is agito against anti-airs? *crosses fingers it doesn't look like an upside down hotaru*

Going jump on the Azrael hype train if there are tickets still available. Shoot outs to Hakumen's 6B for making it to the trailer; stomping people since CT.

MirageKnight24 Signing up as a back-up due to technical difficulties which may or may not resolved by Friday. If I can't make it, I'll be granting everyone nakama power-ups whilst I think of the session. Remember, never take your nakama for granted! Edit: Thanks to the power of nakama, my technical difficulties have been resolved! Count me in, Zeth! Some more sign-ups would be nice.

Thanks to all who signed up and appeared for the Danisen East League Battle #5- June 29, 2012. Special shout-outs to Tempest and Dire for their assistance in getting this 2 hour spectacle off the ground. And the results: howling-_-moon= RE 3rd Dan, LI 2nd Dan Joeboy185= VK 3rd Dan Moy_X7= PL 3rd Dan -1 Ethreal_Albion= RG 1 Dan +1 Direwolfnotinbed= BA Kyu Jason900= HZ 2 Dan -1 MirageKnight24= HK Kyu

Yes, the Danisen East session is still happening. I haven't made a new thread because I wanted to avoid excess confusion. Anyone interested please sign up in this thread as usual.

That sounds kinda of ominous... Edit: Besides most people who signed up should familiar with the rules by now.

Since I'm still grinding Etrian Odyssey since 2007, it's obvious I have the adequate spare time to run the east coast danisen this week. Baiscally, I would like to be the proverbial someone else to step up and handle this one.

Lost track of time farming OP dragons in Etrian Odyssey... MirageKnight24

GGs to Tempest, Akira, Guardian, Koopa, Hara, & others BGs to dat lag which haunted Tempest's room. Shootouts to Canadian bursts and the inventor of spam.
