Ha! Melty Blood 1, HFA 0. He was always dissin' it =/

I think this is where I'm supposed to cry

If it's regional higher stakes are fine. If it's an open 5v5 team tourney $10 each make sense.

Alpha Station tourney. Aoniku (SBO qualifier) playing Rachel. He originally played Tager in BBCT then switched to Rachel. I had thought he went back to Tager for BBCS but I guess he is still willing to play Rachel sometimes > http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9655431 vs Hima (arakune) > http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9655988 vs Blacky (litchi) edit: nope that's it. Btw, "that arakune" is Hima :P

For the main lineup, let the 2nd place game in the poll take the spot. Let BB:CT be run as a $5 side tournament like last year (AkSys can still handle it). That way it will still get many entries without ruining things for a more deserving game and we won't have to watch Nu on the big screen. I would totally enter that side event, but that might have a lot to do with me being a Rachel player and not the quality of the game ^_^ edit: definitely talk to AkSys and see if you can get them to bring beta versions of BBCS console or something, it would be great if we could make it happen. Also, they should run a setup or two (from arcade board or dev kit) for people to try out the game who don't have access to it. Tons of hype is generated for them from either or both of those ideas so it's win-win if they can pull it off.

Yes, in specific situations after specific height BBL's if you cross up =/ See the 2nd Rachel combo video in my CT Rachel videos thread for an example against Ragna (it's the one after the IAD combo into crossup 6a -> 2 pole BBL).

:o. Want me to put those in the first post?

You are forgetting that Evo is a console tournament. BBCS will have to be a side event.

1/8 Chariot Stuff: Ten vs Matsu Matsu vs Keita Keita vs Dennou Kachikirenai (lol) Keita Matsu vs Dennou

I'm gonna do my best to make it there, one way or another.

Aw dammit, being sick sucks, I missed CopperDabbit D:

Aw, just when I was convinced it is my inhaler

IMO the 2nd Omitan video is worth watching for 1 reason: Hilarious commentary!!! (if you understand Japanese): Rachel vs Litchi, Rachel vs Bang: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9407415 / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wACthQO0fFI

Too bad most of the people who show up at Mike's place have to drive home...

You'd be doing around 2k instead of 2.7k when starting from 2b.

Still sick =(. Hopefully I can make Wedrenderday the 20th or 27th... or 3rd. Doctor says not to push it though, I'll be very vulnerable to getting something else for a while even after I'm better.

Yo give us some kind of update regarding when CS is coming already :<

Hey Tron -- Watch yo back!

I've been immunized already for both swine and seasonal flus over a month ago. This is some other virus they said is going around that has flu-like symptoms (for me, everything except for throwing up). I don't don't have BB console, so none of that . DAMMIT ARAKUNE DON'T MAKE ME PICK THE SWORDS CHICK ON YOU. (i think i almost could handle mashing D in this state!)

I was right to worry. My symptoms got much worse the night before New Year's, so I was unable to visit a doctor until after the three day weekend. Urgent care places were full and wouldn't take me. I visited my doctor first thing this morning, to discover that i have not one but two sicknesses. The first one is a virus with similar symptoms to the flu which has served the general purpose of keeping me miserable. The second one is Pneumonia, which has already completely owned my left lung. There is some comedic value here though, as the inhaler they prescribed me looks like this: The good news is I think i can live through this :P. The bad news is I'm bedridden for another week at least.

How is that fuzzy guard? It's a 'high/fake high and go low' mixup, and one they can poke out of at that.

I actually might have to go to the hospital. I'm stillnot sure whether I have some form of the flu or pneumonia. I'm not coughing up blood yet but i am coughing up some mucus-like stuff. Luckily it's still a normal color.

And is easier thanks to no more 22a input screwing stuff up.

read the date on that thing -- No. If someone else volunteers to compile the final version changes for Rachel I'd be plenty willing to put it in my first post.

Man so for any of Rachel's 5b JC -> j.b/land 2b stuff, the opponent can just instant block 5b and mash buttons and be rewarded with a much higher damage combo than either of those two moves could have given you. You'd have to get the opponent very scared of 5c/236a/3c before using it.
