GGs to OddSine, Kite, and the other people who joined.

Gonna start a lobby once I'm done eating, probably in 30min or so. Edit: Room up, "No0BarsPlease." I'm down for long sets, anyone can just drop in whenever.

Holy shit, Tsubu is a fucking steamroller. Things I noticed: - Rekka loops look godlike. Good damage and fullscreen corner carry, no meter required. The 2nd Rekka having more untech time will help against random air hits as well (if they try to jump out and eat a 2nd Rekka, they still get combo'd instead of teching away). - Goku Moroha is going to be ridiculous. In addition to the obvious buffs the move has received (completely refills Moroha gauge, less self-inflicted damage, lasts longer, etc), it has an indirect buff that shouldn't be overlooked: its unique ability to be super-cancelled into from nearly every move A.B.A. has. This means that any time she has 50% meter or more and a bloodpack, she has access to a safe frametrap that staggers on counterhit, wallbounces in the corner, and is plus on block, meaning literally ANY time she does something punishable, the threat of eating a huge Goku Moroha combo or at the very least being forced to deal with her insane pressure in that mode will be looming. Technically, she can already do this in AC, but with Goku Moroha being much more threatening now, it will be worth it--I'm predicting this will end up being REALLY stupid. - Normal mode throw distance decreased = much easier to get keygrab from throw. I can confirm that on Axl and Dizzy, she doesn't even need to dash anymore--just throw and keygrab. It looks like this will likely be the case on other characters as well. - Bloodpack FRC is fast as fuck. Practically guaranteed safe way out of Moroha if you have a pack and 25%. Questions I have: - Did they change Kashitsu aside from the damage buff? It looks like A.B.A.s are using it more, and it seems like it's landing more too. If they made it so you can't normal airblock it, I might just cry.

^Eddie can choose which shadow he wants to summon now, either its current AC version or the old version (now known as Shadow Weiss). Check the Eddie forum for more info. And thank you Teyah for the Kliff info. I didn't realize it was only on the dodge.

Pisces has actually never played the game. It was his cousin the whole time. I swear. Whenever he wants to play BB, he calls his cousin and invites him over, then hands him the controller and watches. Basically, he plays by proxy. Another Neji rule: - Hakumen's counters are Ivan Ooze tier, since not pressing buttons to bait them is physically impossible.

Room up, "No0BarsPlease." Also GGs to everyone I've played lately. I'm terrible at checking this thread.

I think Kliff is going to slide down the tiers. Maybe not far, but no one has matchup experience against him yet. Combine that with being easy/beginner friendly and he's going to be dunking on people until he's figured out more. That, and one important thing I feel is being overlooked is that some of his moves have a random chance of failure due to him coming down with old-man-itis. Of course, factors regarding this are unknown currently: how high is that chance? Is it move specific? Nonetheless, it can happen, and one thing that makes top tiers extra solid is their stronger tools being guaranteed. Kliff does not have this.

What's the minimum startup on 5D? Might be faster to use that or instant j.D if you need to counter high.

Can't wait for more ABA stuff to trickle out. I know she's not exactly popular, but I'm really curious to see if the (5S > 5H)xN Goku combo is still in among other changes. She looks like she's gonna be a beast.

Any word from JBBS yet on final changes? Or if someone can link me I can scan for some stuff (although it will be posted in Googrish).

Ready for disappointment? For Hakumen, yes. But for ABA in AC+R...

Can you j.A her j.B if going air to air?

Labrys mirror is 6-4 in Red Axe's favor.

Gonna hop on in 30min-1hr.
