If they do Unblockable Drill setups, you should practice wakeup Blitz Shield reversals. The unblockable isn't frame perfect so you have a strong margin of error.

You can superjump Blitz into the Secret Garden to get out. That is the universal answer for it after that is up to you to read the Meta game right.

One more set that Mynus and I had that I think had a lot of crucial parts to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZOjuQOmJAU

TSB Concept Matches & Sessions: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXSEVqlJkrKfvwzrnSiJoDRugLE0TYUtg Kinda sloppy because we had like a 50 match set watching Final Round. It still has the crucial parts of the MU in there.

I'm coming out with video match sets with Mynus soon.

6P beats 5S, 5K, Fish Hook, Dive and (if you are close enough) 2HS. Beak Driver is great for fishing him out to move because all of his normals are huge. Elk hunt is good but I would use it sparingly. While you are pressuring, you should have no problem keeping him there because he has basically no air dash. He has no wakeup options to speak up and Voltic Deign bodies all of them. You can't instant overhead him with J.HS so that sucks. Most of his normals are very slow so frame trapping him is pretty easy. I do feel his neutral is on par with Sin's and he is a lot more nimble.

The announcement of Guilty Gear Xrd and P4U2 at Evolution 2015 has sounded the declaration of war. If we wait only for TSB in this area, we only have 4 more locals before Evo. Every other community outside of New York has a weekly local, it's about time we had one again. Mynus and I will conduct TGITSB again if you want but I have to know if there is going to be interest before I talk to Henry about the logistics. The poll here is for you guys to decide what you would most likely want from weekly to nothing at all. I am also considering majors in the vicinity only to as far West as Texas and as South as Florida so that we can keep the regional tourney community going or locals in other states. Let me know as soon as possible and I will gauge this poll by February 2nd at 4pm EST.

Bonus: If she is about to do the ground super, you can simple neutral jump on her and hit her on her recovery.

The MU as of right now to me is 5-5 because neutral wise Sin is stronger but Ino's offense is a lot more oppressive. Sin has amazing damage output but his defense modifier aren't exactly impressive so the end of the match is more in Ino's favor because of her Guts. Overall just occupy the mid range f.S area and anytime she jumps, keep 6p on deck to keep her in check.

6p beats her 5s, bridal express (spaced well), and 5h. Elk hunt destroys 5h Pinberry is the real problem and if you have to block it, you should IB it and peace out. You never want to be where she wants you to be. Shotgun stance is the real problem and if she has you in the corner, you may want to make a diagnostic on your resources because all your defensive options are about to be tested. FDing is bad because the pushback isn't substantial, you lose wayyyyy too much meter every time you block a shotgun blast and she will still be in your face but now you have no meter. IBing is good to gain meter but you are going to get chipped. If the Elphelt player is being predictable, I usually block until she is out of range for a blast and I Blitz Shield when they attempt to S their way back into position. DA is a best option that works very well against being locked up in the corner. When they start baiting the DA, you then FD jump out to avoid getting hit by S trying to leave the pressure.

Far: She is not a difficult match from far away because she only really has Chemical Love to snipe you. Driver and Elk hunt (YRC) stops that option almost completely because the risk versus reward is substantially in your favor. Driver counter hit combos destroy her and once you get it off, it makes them rethink using it. Elk hunt YRC gets you in close, doesn't waste meter, and puts you in an advantageous situation. STBT is the other side of the coin and could be stopped with 2k, Elk hunt, DP-driver-elk hunt, 2D, and c.S. STBT YRC and Note are the biggest issues and you have to look at it from a different perspective. She has to get in a lot more than you do. Mid Range: You run this area a lot more than she does. 5K, F.S, Driver, 2S, 6P, and 2D beat her out because she doesn't have a lot of buttons. Her far S, HCL, 2S, STBT and Note are her options, which are good but your options are better. If she attempts to dash in 5k, 6p, and c.S are your best friends and the bane of her existence. Close range: If you are going to be close, hopefully it's on your terms. If it isn't, you better know how to block pretty well. I recommend though that if you have 50% tension that you use it to DA because you will look real fucking stupid dying with a full bar. No one can block forever, and I have been playing this MU for 5 iterations and over a decade.

I'll probably end up going and Brice I'm going to fuck you and all of Montreal collectively. UMAD is gonna be foreplay.

Alright gotta get this out the way while I'm still conscious. Shoutouts to Stickbug: First and foremost, thank you for everything you do to help fuel this community. Your love of the games and the people are a big reason as to why we are all here. Kyle W: Love that we can always have these moments where we can chill and talk about the married life. Didn't get to play you but maybe I did when I was drunk, I don't remember that time was a blur. Blacksnake: Cool as fuck and this will be the last time I see you at tournament and we don't play seriously in GG or BlazGreen. Digital Watches: Really enjoyed chilling with you most of the weekend, your Axl was really impressive and had a great time playing you. Wish we chilled more but the storm made quick work of that. Hopefully we'll be able to come to Montreal Airdashers, we will make serious efforts to get there. Shinsyn: Definitely playing strong man, wish we chilled more though. Kenji: It was an absolute joy playing you, you are seriously a strong take on Anji (you actually block LOL) and your Zappa is no fucking joke. Really upset I couldn't play more. Huey253 aka Color 4: Great time commentating with you, and teaching me more about Blazblue. I'll try it when I have the time but we'll see how that goes. Glad you play GG, you're a real man. Kurumster: Nice to finally play you, and hilariously enough every single time, you came around Alzarath would come walking by after you would ask for him. Shoutouts to Big E for everything even finding my phone for me. Shoutouts to KI being the UGLIEST fighting game in existence. Shoutouts to Guilty Gear being the best community of people ever. Shoutouts to my NY niggas, always and forever. Thank you to everyone that came from out of state and out of the region, you are the guys that made this tournament great, seriously. Last but not least, Dear Jais, I love you, I....I... can't hold it back anymore. I'm leaving Zidane for you, I'm coming to Washington to ask for your hand. You sir, are one of the coolest niggas I ever met, I hope to see you soon. Your bridget play is inspirational to say the least, I will be tuning in to the streams now to see you guys play. Thank you for everything, next time I see you drinks on me.

HAHAHAHA!!! Doren, you are going to make me so much money with sidebetting your lose. Your gonna pay for my room, thanks.

All in for Team Matches, NY is all in for taking people's money.

MM anyone? Faulty Defense, I'm calling you out specifically. Any Format ok.

I'm also all up in this.

Any MMs, let me know. Also light Nazgul $20 MM 3/5, no dodging.

Honestly I think most of the Johnny players even Satou have been a grave disappointment as of lately. I really don't understand how he gets buffed and they get nerfed.

Shoutouts to Jailhouse, Apollo, Kirah, Eightman and anyone else I may be forgetting that are becoming the new faces of Guilty Gear, you guys are way better than I was when I started. God I sucked. Shoutouts to getting turned out by the first Slab I played which I knew would have happened.

NEC was da gawd, and all thanks to the dedication and strength of Stickbug and Daiandoh. Shoutouts to TEXAS: Faulty Defense: It was great seeing you again and it was really nice to get casuals with you man. Venom is like my worst matchup but was more than hype to work it out. Robot: Your a really cool guy and it was really unfortunate that I only got to talk with you at the end of the tourney. I really wished we could have had casuals but.....yeah next time. I would love to play the self proclaimed Best Sol in America, that would have been nice to fight. Florida: Senkei: Thanks for sharing the ugliest match I have ever played on stream ever. Congratulations to you but I would have really liked to play you more besides that one match honestly. Qwerty: Your waayyyyyy better than I thought you would be honestly. Your the best Johnny player I have ever faced honestly, and that MM was crazy. It was also part of the reason I decided to switch to stick now for GG, too many issues with pad with this re-release. Wish we could have played more and chilled more honestly. West Coast: Shtkn: Nice seeing you after so long but unfortunately not for long enough. Spirit Jake: Finally got to meet you, you're almost a bigger troll than we are in the East Coast. We should got some casuals in something so I could body you and make fun of you later but.....sadly to no avail. Hope you come back for another tourney, hopefully not too long from now. Amadeous: Thanks so much for letting me borrow your pad for so long. Your a fucking trooper for that, and I do wish we got to play more. Also you obviously have my pad now so have fun. Vyers: Fun playing you as always. Nazgul: I want my MM, we will settle this next time. Sir Circuitous: Your fucking hilarious. Kaeru: Your so pleasant it only fits you to be called canadian Jesus. If I forgot you sorry, but I kinda rushed for sleep. Thank you guys for the experience and hope I see you guys again.

Awesome shit there man, would love to come to Sweden or UK to play you guys seriously.

Win or lose, I'll still come for you. MM you anyway, your free, bet it?

This is getting uncomfortably awesome.
