2 words for Ragnas with bad spacing. Whiff Punish. ;D Or you can just take that time to get away and zone (aka you pressing buttons the rest of the time).

Anybody up for irish car bombs? ;D

It's ok. Some people think I'm 14. Others think I'm 17-19. But I'm clearly, not THAT young ;D

At least it isn't Hakumen! ;D

Because we're hipsters. ;o

I get he got screwed over by AMF. ;D

So, I finally got my stream working...I will stream stuff in the future I guess....don't know what though. hmm....

Watch out for platinum's 2b on the ground. :>

Hi. :x

Few quick things from my point of view, 1. Yes things need to run on time. I was asked to show up at noon or earlier for registration. Registration didn't end till 3 PM. I felt like leaving and getting a refund before 3PM because I was just sick of waiting. 2. Very confusing of when casuals were going on. Couldn't there be an announcement or something of what is going to be casuals and what isn't? 3. 2 day event: I really didn't want to show up on Sunday as I live relatively far to be driving back and forth every day and I did this for like 3 days straight. It's not even worth getting a hotel room for me. As much as I had a lot of fun, if this keeps up I probably would not want to go anymore. Yes I do want to support P4U and BB don't get me wrong, but this really needs to get better.

Damn c0r that stock art is amazing. I wish I had talent in art but I don't :x

You haven't been up against tagers that disrespect what you do? Lol ok.

I actually don't really like this match up much either. 6A is your go to AA for this. The biggest problem I find with this is Bang's nails. If you can somehow make him use up all of them and he doesn't have 4 seals, it will be hard for him to ever get in. D nails being the hardest to deal with. When you zone, try to get out habaya. Being able to get this out safely requires quite a bit of distance but if you are able to, you can suck up any nails bang throws out and habaya will still be in play. I also think it's hard to play against bang with 4 seals so if he does a 4 seal combo, I think it's wise to burst that combo. Lastly, when you're on the offensive, watch out for guard points but this is more of mixing up your blockstrings and incorporating late chains to hit him out of them.

I'd actually recommend not AAing Tager every time as he has j.2c which will call out your AA and he'll get a CH from it. It's really easy to run away from Tager so I recommend doing that and just zoning him till he dies. Don't do any combo that won't work and be safe. Don't be too reckless as all it takes is 1 mistake and you could be done. :| But pretty much c0r summed it up nicely.

I hate this match up so much it makes me miss fighting Ragna. Best strategy I found is to run away until you find an opening to tag him. Then keep running away and sit on your life lead. Be careful and think before you push a move because kishuu is a very good tool and hakumen can get in on you easily with it. Main things to watch for a hakumen player is when he air dashes because at that point depending on the distance and what move he throws out, you can go for an AA. I would hardly suggest using 2c unless the situation calls for it. You're better off using 6a if you do AA. But mix up steins and throw lasers at him and if he cuts the laser, just wait it out. The main thing is having space between him and you. I would not recommend playing the footsie game either as hakumen has kishuu and 3c.

I like how you stopped streaming when I got back home from work. And I left early too. :< oh well....

I'll check in once I get off from work. Going to have to miss whatever is before. I hope I can get out early. Speaking of which, I have a mic now so I can use skype or whatever other program people use if people have questions or what not. I probably won't get back to my place until like 6:15pm - 6:30pm PT earliest.

All of you should play f-kouma. Da gawd. Dem command throws.

So I think I have finally learned how to play against hakumen now. Fighting him is just so annoying and frustrating though. :|

It's not mission complete until you get somebody to rage quit in real life. :>

Best time to get the upper hand is at the beginning of the match when you and your opponent are at a true neutral state. Yes its good to be patient but sometimes you have to take risks because if you don't, lambda can put you in a string and 236a to get to the other side and you have to work your way in all over again. Oh yea setting a stein in neutral = sword toyour face. :| unless you are all all the way across the screen busy getting yourself cornered faster.

I think I'll cancel this week. Training mode week! Lab it up!

If only he was! :|

Hence, why the strategy is to run away all day. ;D

Habaya leaves you open for f of g so I don't recommend using it. Just use lasers and run away all day. It really makes arakune users frustrated. He still has trouble dealing with Mu Cs and DP. If he even tries any mix up, you can just mash him out for the most part until he does like 5a 5a 5d in which case, just DP. 2C and 5C are still really good against him. I'm hesitant about using 6A against him because in CS1 lambda 6A vs arakune j.B would clash quite a bit and j.B ends up winning like you can do it here and if you expect a clash you can DP but it's kind of hard to react to. But yea strategy is still the same.
