Sophisticat

^ Yep, yep. It's $8/per better than expected so far. :D

I was planning on giving that out at Foonzo tomorrow, but might as well do it now: Car rental: $588 Gas: 55 + 48 + 50 + 45 = $198 Total for the van: $786 Now we just need to add Kaeru's gas cost and hotels and we have us a grand total. So far, it's slightly better than my calculations.

Online is shit, lol. It's ok for local matches, though.

:O DO IT

I'll be going Thursday as well, same reason as Kirby.

Mugen was at its best in CS1. It had the longest duration and dmg/mixup potential. I have a feeling Haku is going to be broken in CP. A lot of his moves got buffed P1 to 100, so many starters are now viable for big damage like in that vid. His increased meter gain also makes 5 stars in the bank more likely. That combo wasn't even finished, btw. It looks like it could still have done a bit more. Just saying that combo didn't look all that unlikely to happen in a match.

Yeah, next up on the list are Mac and Spark. NEC was totally gdlk, Mac. You really missed something there. BB top 8 was incredibly fucking hype with Dora being such a crowd pleaser. There were so many good moments I can't count them all.

Oh, Eb. I got meet Apology/WallJumpMan at NEC. He's gdlk. Be jelly.

I know, just giving credit to all those who ran things or were in charge of something.

Man, what'd I miss? Haku looking boss this time around. I think I'll love playing him.

Wow, that was an incredible event. Def. making it again next year! So, shouts: To Stickbug, Biscuits, DC, etc., whoever was in charge of running the event and pools. You guys are awesome and I was amazed that you had the energy to keep it all going. To Circuitous for being a surprisingly great guy in person. If anyone on DL ever thought he was mean online, they should meet him in person. To the JP crew for a great show and being great guys as well. Kirisame for beasting at Persona, Dora for being fucking awesome, and Souji for his gdlk unbeateable Arakune! To Apology/WallJumpMan for being real cool and showing me how to manage a 9-1 matchup. :D To Amadeous somehow figuring out who I was. It was nice to meet you in person! To MetalMaelstrom for those last matches in GG and being free to CH DoT. <3 To Lich for being a great guy and having a great Hazama. Where was the snake, man? I thought you were bringing a snake! To the Montreal crew for just being awesome. I love you guys. <3 To me for having shitty execution and dropping all my combos. To the Copa and friday night's event. They really busted themselves to serve everyone and deserve props. That JP restaurant on Sunday night for also putting up with a large late-night group. To that Kraken rum. Shit's the best rum I've had yet! To New Jersey for having a maze instead of roads. And shouts to whoever/whatever else deserves it, but I forget. It's funny putting faces to the names, y'all were awesome. Seeing the replies in this thread, I'm surprised to see so many Dustloopers were there, lol. But it's ok since I wanted to keep a low profile this year. I'll meet you all proper next year! This was and awesome, awesome event and it deserves all the praise anyone gives. :D I also hope you guys will make it out to MAD next year for another great event!

Nice to see this thread get some more serious activity. Now let's get dat high-level talk in here with math and statistics and shit.

I think it's safe from that from the vids I've seen, but don't quote me on it. EDIT: Yep, just watched some more matches, and seems Agito is safe on block. You don't drop like after using j.D.

That's not it, Hotaru uses 2 stars and needs to be at the right height or it'll whiff. Same for Tsubaki, except you'll get hit instead and it uses 3 stars. Both moves may or may not combo depending on some factors. Agito here uses 1 star while seemingly guaranteeing a combo on CH. It has a huge vertical hitbox and have you seen the range on that hop Agito? It's much more versatile than any other anti-AA move Haku has had before.

Losing is awesome. It tells you what not to do against your opponent. Losing tells you more about competition than winning! Of course it feels real shitty, but it's how you learn... By making mistakes, not doing them again, learning what works and what doesn't, and how to develop a mindset that will allow you to win consistently against even strong opponents. ... But all that takes more effort than I'm willing to put in. :P

^ Well, yes, they do beat AAs, but I meant it more in the sense of a reliable option that doesn't cost much. Agito fills this in nicely.

^ And that is a Godsend, imo. Haku's never had anything to beat AAs before aside from barrier and a lucky j.D. He's looking good.

Haku combos looking like Slayer combos now, lol. Damage-wise as well. Sk-Minion, that was a 5c starter as well, not 3c. I think starter matters less now since a bunch of moves got buffed P1 to 100. You could likely get that 5k or close off many other normals now.

I see what you did there.

Azrael should have mad buff health just 'cause he looks like he has mad buff health and can suplex an 18-wheeler like he was German.

I'll be going Thursday. I'll also be driving the whole way after all. For Friday, if you guys could make yourselves easy to pick up, that would be great. Current list: Kaerumobile: Mr. Ru Isabelle Lv5 Pedro Party Van: Mr. K Nedel Bibi DerQ Brice Kirby Ask Pedro for more details because it's all in his head atm. :P

Wow, hop Agito's got some range on it. Nice combos, though. I like e'm. Seems like we can still ghetto out some form of corner carry too.

Good to know, lol. Also, for you to be a driver you'd need to be there with me to sign papers and stuff. That would prob. take too much time to do it all on Friday morning. :\ I see. Guess I might be passing on it, then.

What's the stick's condition? Is it a good (i.e. competitive level/moddable) stick? I'd def. be interested in a cheap stick. ------ Update for car rent: Derq can't be the second driver after all since he's 20. That would make Bibi the only other driver that can do it among the ones who would go in a van. Bibi, can you do it? If not, well, I'll tough it out. :P

He still does 6k before using any meter...
