Synthesis

Okay. I would like a list of people who play in Tucson. It would be nice to actually have a scene down here, and I'm willing to host for games for a couple of people. PM me and we can get sessions started. It would be VERY nice to actually have a scene here to compete with Phoenix (albeit, we'd lose) but still.

Dude, Shockna. You live in Tucson? Hit me up man! We can get in some Mu training sessions. >:3

So, for blockstrings including SoD, you can charge it at max range to scare them. They can back up and it will whiff if you charge it too much, but it's good to attempt to punish IB or pokes. Charge to lvl2 sometime, and if they're in range, you can charge to 3 if they get scared. This is really strong because you can react to their character twitching by releasing it, and you may even catch jump out startup, or a poke and we all know FCs are sexy.

We can always play Hisoutensoku. I think the game is good, but I hate the weather. We can get over that though, right? For the sake of a community? ^_^

PSN Mu tier list? I think Zeromus or Tempest should make it. I don't play online much.

So, who all is camping at Fry's Electronics this year? I'll be there at around 6ish on Thursday hopefully, and after that event I plan on going to PCP to get their black friday stuff too. Yay, me! Camp out with me, guys! We'll have games and shit. >:3 I'll bring Hisoutensoku.

And Tempest Dahlia destroys me because I'm terribad.

Include the all around tech punish midscreen off 2D j.2C. Shit's good.

Let me rephrase. I love having long ass blockstrings.

To be honest, I don't even care about Mu at this point. Platinum looks way too good and Rachel will be playable again. Fun fun!

Rachel 2C was always trash. =/ IB buffered backdash 4D was the best option she had out of IB.

It's true. You could literally mash back and get IBs. However, seeing as how the advantage is worse now, it will be harder to get out of pressure. That's my kind of game. I love long ass block strings. Also, blocking will be a huge, viable option in this game now. You can no longer just Autopilot barrier jumpouts to get out of pressure.

Mash angles harder. EDIT: Guys! IB is down to 2-3 frames of recovery instead of 5. This makes pressure strings much tighter and in effect, makes this game much better. I'm really looking forward to this.

That's exactly what I do, too. Except I get it as low as possible, say at < 4 degree angle. If you hit the red girl (brown?) first, you get a guaranteed red girl special next time you land. At least, that's what I've always gotten. or green girl special.

Or, SoD dash 6A 2C 6C 5D 214D SoD etc...

Top character? Play Litchi or Bang. For everything else, there's Wong's.

So much fun! But yeah. Mu doesn't have damage compared to the rest of the cast without her oki setups, so that j.2C nerf is kind of harsh.

j.2C was fantastic on normal hit. It set up TONS of stuff midcombo, like 6A j.2C land dash 2B combos into 2D j.2C oki. It was sick.

I don't know if I like it. Mu loses j.2C knockdown and 3C knockdown. Not exactly happy for me.

Tucson peeps should PM me. Just saying. We could get a weekly get together going, much like Tempe.

So, that sound really dumb. But, here's a great thing we should talk about. Black Friday. Are we camping out at Fry's Electronics again? Should I bring anything in particular, aside from Magic cards and my DS?

Brian: How so? Details, please. I thought ninjas were imba but... we'll see what you say.

Iketatari plays and all, but he still doesn't have a main or practices so... Yeah. ^_^ It'll be fun.

I like this new system. It makes it easier for people to know "Hey, that guy knows what's up." Good shit, DL.
