I got 7th in BB out of 56 :D Better than I expected considering lack of practice time, not as good as I had hoped, lol. Shout outs to Tyler for entertaining discussion to/from ATL Shout outs to everyone from Bama who went Shout outs and congrats to the winners of BB (LK, Ivysaur, Leonil) Shout outs to Heidern for letting me help run the BB tourney Shout outs to SteveH and Kusoru for having hella hype GG finals Shout outs to everyone who played BB or supported it Shout outs to everyone I had casuals with, and thanks to Amadeous and Blue Link for hosting in their rooms Shout outs to Lockhart for going 0-2 against alcohol Shout outs to NerdJosh for being set for life off $25k Shout outs to Stickbug, Lord Knight, Leonil, and Amadeous for great discussion over delicious Chinese food and hilarity afterwards. VID-E-O-GAME-TOUR-NA-MENT, VID-E-O-GAME-TOUR-NA-MENT, NERDS-NERDS-NERDS, NERDS-NERDS-NERDS Shout outs to Eshi and Peter for letting me crash at their place. Casuals were crazy fun and had it not been for their kindness, I would not have been able to attend. Thanks again, guys. Most importantly, shout outs to ShinBlanka for running one of the best damn majors in America for the 15th year straight in spite of recent hardships. You will always have my utmost respect and thanks for always being there for the southeastern FGC, and we will always be there for you. Who's ready for CEO? LET'S GO!

That's Leonil Requiem's stick, I told him you posted this and for him to PM you. I'll do shoutouts later, too tired. Had SOOOOO much fun though, awesome weekend.

GGs to everyone in the room/ranked. I still suck at the Tao matchup but at least it feels like Hakumen has a chance now.

Room up.

I'll be online in a bit

Room up. Edit: GGs to everyone in the room/ranked. And seriously, fuck the netcode. Matches with people I used to have great connections with are now a stuttering, delayed mess. This is easily the worst netcode of any iteration of BB, shit needs a patch.

ThienKieuTam is one of those players like NejiMetriod. The potential to be good is there, but they let the saltiness consume them. Kinda like the horse in the swamp scene of The Neverending Story.

Gotta love mashing to tech then eating a CH reset > combo since you mashed out an extra A or B right after you teched.

GGs to everyone who joined the room. Learned a lot of new stuff tonight and I've almost got my combo selection worked out.

Starting a room in a few.

Don't worry, you didn't miss much, just me raging over awful lag. Not that it mattered, I played like a full retard all night and just got whomped over and over. I hope it was just due to being exhausted and not completely growing over with rust/forgetting how to play every aspect of the game after not playing much lately. I'll be on more this week though, hopefully with better performance.

I am officially mad at the netcode. CrazyApe and I usually have something decent and just now we had a zero. What the fuck.

I'll experiment more sometime this evening, but yes the proration is a little too much. There were even a couple times where I could only get 2x loops when I used 6A instead of 3x, but I don't remember which combos right now. The best uses I've found for it seem to be the aforementioned situation and using it near the end of a combo to tack on extra damage.

Right now I only use 6A to help with spacing issues (for example, if Renka(1) > Kishuu > 6C leaves Hakumen too far away from the corner). I'm still testing but ATM the proration makes you lose some damage in most cases.

I'm free from 5pm-??am. When is best for you? Emphasis on "free," btw. I suck.

I'll be on this evening for a long while. Hours at work/real life responsibilities have been fucking my free time so I need practice badly. Gotta retrain my hit confirms, I know the new combos but keep doing CS2 stuff on involuntary reaction

Still tweaking it (and some other stuff); it might be possible to squeeze a little more damage. Might put up a placeholder combo guide after I experiment some more, at least until better stuff gets figured out. I wish I could record a practical combo vid like I mentioned before, but that would require either a new comp w/ capture card or a nicer camera than the one I have. I have a friend with a camera and tripod though, I'll ask if I can borrow it.

XBL is peer to peer. The servers aren't stressed, the net code is just worse. Hopefully they'll patch it. "Hakumen, your firepower is too high!" Love that pic. I'll be on tomorrow, not sure what time. I would play tonight after work but I'm exhausted. Hakumen is fun as fuck in this game though, so glad he hits like a truck again. Already found a 9k+ non-mugen combo :D Having crazy corner carry and meter to play with is cool too.

You talking about Renka(1) > Kishuu > hop 2C > jb > j2a > iad jb > ja > 2c > jb > j2a > iad > j2a > jc? 1. Do the jc JBs as soon as you jump cancel. You'll notice it floats your opponent, but they'll fall slightly before they can tech. That's when you do j2a. 2. Do the iad asap but hit the following JB as late as possible, then do JA as late as possible. If you do it right you'll have enough time to do 5C or 2C when you land. New haku is so much fun now that i have a basic idea of his combo structure. So much meter, so much freedom, so much damage. I can't wait to get my stuff down with him, and experimenting in the lab is crazy fun. Already got some nice new tech to try. Also, who is hype for GGAC+ ? This guy.

GGs to the people in ranked. Sorry we didn't play Eshi, I got on super late.

I had a problem installing it the first time I tried. It hung before loading the installation progress bar, restarting my 360 fixed it and the second try went smoothly though.

Thanks for this post! It's an excellent starting point, lots of good stuff in there.

GGs to CrazyApe and the people in ranked. Man, i suck, lol. Gotta optimize combos/relearn efficient conversion/test more new ideas/remember 6A exists.

Being single is awesome. Less sex than having a girlfriend, but more sex than being married with none of the bullshit from either. Haku's combos are both easier and harder than I expected. I'm having problems optimizing combos; it's almost like he's too flexible now

Tera looks cool, GW2 does as well. Too bad my comp sucks. Every time I quit FFXI for a while, Square Enix superbuffs Puppetmaster and reels me back in. Game is too much fun, if I had more free time to play I'd never unsubscribe
