Jojo tournaments? Jojo tournaments!!

*Chugs down beer, takes off shirt and starts flailing it around* WOOT! YEAH! Guilty Gear and Vampire Savior! Get hype y'all!

I need to spread my wings a bit more so I'll try attending these.

Not sure I'll have cash for BB but I'll definitely be there for GG and VS...maybe Tetris for shits&giggles.

Even if it's just you and me, there will be a VS comp. We'll just make it a money match or something :3

LOL better learn her dash combos.

LOL pushblock into banana peel was epic. And there were more Slam dunks in Vampire Savior Sunday than in a regular game of NBA JAM.

Awesome meeting new faces. Hope to see everyone again and to see even more people next time. Great competition in GGXXAC, it's fun to watch everyone improve at the game every tournament day. Looking forward to the next one. Tetris Attack was INSANE! So insane it is even more intimidating to play against y'all! So happy to be playing Vampire Savior again. Love seeing GGXXAC get more play and now VS!? It can't get much better than that =D BBCS was fun too. Had a really great match with Zong early in tournament but VS grandfinals exhausted me and my game fell apart BBCS. Either BBCS is too damn slow or VS is too damn fast.

LOL YES!!!! I'm coughing up a lung here but I'm so fucking amped right now about VS on Sunday, my warrior spirit will heal me in time for the tournament!

WOOT! So we got at least 3 people down for VS! I'm still recovering from this nasty cold so I can't practice to unrust(?) Talbain and Jedah that I can only bring Felicia :3

Wow...really? Ugh, hard to keep my spot if I keep missing tournaments I imagine.

LOL Awesome Alice Cooper, dude. Did a lot of people recognize who you were dressed as?

Definitely got to get in some Vampire Savior next time. That game is too awesome to be ignored again. Mike, you're down, right!? Best of 5 match...how about it!?

I had a really great match in BBCS and then a really bad one. Overall, a decent night. Coming back stronger next time. Count on it! >:3 Oversleeping + Costume problems that never got resolved = me missing Guilty Gear And I heard everyone improved too! Keeping GG alive, y'all! I would have liked to have at least watched y'all play but only caught like the end of the grandfinals. Oh well, always next time. So yeah, GGs to all. You're all awesome. Same to those that didn't play but were there. Seriously looking forward to next tournament.

Heh, yeah, the timer is the real enemy in the fight, more so for Hakumen I reckon...and Hakumen's biggest hurdle in the fight is simply getting in on a character that can relatively easily run away and maintain distance. Sad to say that I've only recently learned to properly fight in this matchup but what I've learned after extensive trial & error is the only time I jump to get in on Lamba is to airdash and only when Lambda is airdashing (often away) and when Lambda summons Sickle Storm since she'll be in recovery frames. Other than that, I simply walk forward and maybe Kishuu occasionally since I find being in the air too risky, even if you are properly blocking all the swords and various junk she throws at you. Learning to 6D and 2D moves like Spike Chaser (4C that junk too) and Sickle Storm helps shut down some of Lambda's BS and help close distance and save your guard meter. IB and 6D/2D Legacy Edge is free meter too. Try to read when a Lamba is going to throw out an Act Parser, 6D or 2D accordingly and whoop her ass, you'll want to otherwise you can run the risk of being comboed or having your guard crushed. I have a love/hate of this match, freak'n cat & mouse game.

Baiken mirrors are goofy as hell. WOOP WOOP WOOP NYAH!

Pretty much, doing Wakeup Hotaru to shake him off doesn't work like it does on other characters.

You talking about this one?

I can see the wallbounce with Renka and Hotaru opening up those opportunities but doesn't Renka lose some of its corner comboability since the second hit will be like the wallbounce from Gurren, right?

Not far, I just push the stick in the direction of the opponent for like half a second at most. Heh, be sure to let go of the stick otherwise you'll get an unintentional 6C. Doing 6C > Shippu as a burst bait is pretty interesting though, I'm going to try that some time.

Something about being surprised/impressed that Rachel got like consecutive 4000 combos despite (slow?) wind meter gain?

GGs to everyone. I was amazed at how smoothly the tournament moved. What a difference two systems makes, eh? I'm unpleased with my GG performance but still had fun and I lost to good players so I have no regrets. I'm rather pleased with my BB performance, I aim to rank higher next time =D Since my PS2 is dead I need to get my weekly fix of GG play...so if anyone is down for some Casuals in GG, drop me a line if you want to meet up or I'll see y'all Thursday nights. First time I've heard about the frame issue with the PS3 vs 360 version but I heard the same thing about SF4 so I guess I shouldn't be surprised to hear it happened to other TypeX2 games...I wonder if KoF12 has the same problem LOL but who cares, it's KoF12. 13 will be another story...

Two more locations this month and an unknown number prior to 12/9...or whenever BBCS2 is scheduled to drop.

I don't like it. Personally, Hakumen is already somewhat boring to play in BBCS and making him primarily a poke & zone character sounds less interesting. The idea of him having a predominantly weaker close range game designed to push back opponents doesn't sit well with me either. That said, while I don't like it, I'll deal with it since he is really the only character I bothered to learn (largely thanks to the amount of time and effort it took to play him in BBCT).

How many copies of GGXXAC did FFA have? You're still keeping the head to head at FFA, right? Oh! Validate parking at Japan Arcade, please :3
