GG Teams will probably start @ 6PM or so, tentatively weighted 2on2. Dennys vs IHOP in Akatsuki @ 10PM or so.

Team Dennys vs Team IHOP is also scheduled for this coming Caliburst, as is a GG team tournament. Still not sure what format to do the GG tournament in, so feedback would be appreciated! Tentatively weighted 2on2 or 3on3 (top x and bottom x players are paired together)

I'm not that far from the city and I've been to kenjis place before - so I'm always up for more casuals anywhere pretty much

it was the normal singles tournament 1st round - unless it was a DQ or something, in any case that's what was written on the bracket. I think alex was doing that bracket maybe he remembers.

You lost to ernest in winners R1 in the normal tournament - Ky. Well regardless you have to have 4 losses if you entered two double elimination tournaments and didn't...get 1st place...

I think Delta and Jyosua already know, but we'll be visiting socal for the 1/11 rebelup - Still not confirmed how many we have, but confirmed 1 car, possibly 2.

We have the akatsuki blitz cab working. Is it time for Team Dennys vs Team IHOP?

So, for this upcoming Dogfight (and perhaps consistently in the future), we will be doing a Guilty Gear Beginners Tournament in conjunction with the normal GG Singles. The rules are all standard and straightforward. The only difference is that you must be at 1500 RiskRating or below to enter. If you don't know what rating you have, here's a link to the most updated rating chart: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?9857-The-Newer!!!-NorCal-Thread!-BB-GGAC-HnK-FUC-Touhou-and-Other-Sad-Life-Games!/page106&p=1584085&viewfull=1#post1584085 If you are unrated, you default to 1500, so yes anyone new can also enter :D Entry is free, and I'll be announcing where it will fall in the schedule soon. We're also planning on doing something like having the winner of the beginners tournament play in a FT5 against a higher rated player (1500RR-1600RR) and give advice etc. Post thoughts, suggestions, etc!

Ah no I also misread what you said anyways, my bad. Found some more silly Pucci stuff but I'll probably just wait till my video is done so you can see some of it in action.

I totally agree its generally super pointless and i don't understand why you can't use any damn air options while doing it. Honestly the teleport has way too much recovery anyways - its stupid To be fair (though again this is not that practical), You can also still combo off of B teleport if you use it with a disc mixup for a tricky sameside, and airhit 5A > B teleport > land > 5/2a etc will work if they're at the right height Soff 236X works the same as everything else. You may be mistaking it with Son 236X, which is 5 instead of 4. I totally forgot to specify that in my previous post, which I'll fix. I don't think it's really about Stand ON allowing for additionally uses. The extra uses as far as I can find are just S.on 236X and S.off j.B Well it did basically automatically make you win a round (MIH guaranteed if positioned right) It's pretty fair to start out making Pucci as shitty as they did, as alternate win conditions are often scary to balance. My main complaint was just the fact that C-Moon was straight up worse than White Snake and that talking to the baby meant so much sacrifice. Going for MIH against equal skill opponents who knew about MIH felt like giving yourself a 1-9 matchup. At least now you're actually rewarded for achieving C-Moon, and there's less contradictions. My main qualms are a) He should still get a GHA or something useful as C-Moon. Because they nerfed how 214X and 6C interact, its his ways of converting meter into damage went from mediocre to ass. b) Getting words is still only doable as S off, making that command throw and counter still a sacrifice c) Time speed up in MIH makes it harder to do the new hype combos they allowed It would also be nice if there was slightly more advantage off of WS 2C > 22C, as it is you actually have to have good timing to get a proper meaty lol.

well apparently lord raptor isn't gonna be here this time so we will just have to do this some other time.

Concretely, C-Moon is actually legit now, probably better than Whitesnake since he has legit guaranteed MIH setups. 3f startup on 22C is really hype. It kind of sucks that S.6C crumple doesn't stack with S.214X, really lowers his damage potential, but I suppose you just reset them instead now :P. Plus the 236 buff is a nice trade off, and its way easier to combo off of S.214 as well obviously. Some random nerfs people might not notice but are pretty important during MIH are that a) the time speed increase is very significant and its a lot easier to lose to timeout as a result, and b) blockstun on most of his moves are drastically lowered. for example 5B x n was seamless, its now quite easy to jump out of in between. Granted you can just punish the jump but outside of specialized anti-air normals, its hard to convert off if (well you can just reset them but yeah). There's proration on guard crush damage in airtight blockstrings - I haven't really played the game much since 1.01 so I don't know if this is a MIH change or a global change or if it's not even knew, but you definitely cannot just like disc x n or whatnot for guaranteed guard crush. If anyone can confirm for me, i'd appreciate it His MIH SMP properties are as follows: (This number is the number you can safely loop without triggering a down) All A moves: 6 (S off 2A is 12 technically) Soff j.B: 9 Son 236X: 5 Everything Else: 4 (or the equivalent for multi hit moves) There might be something I've randomly forgotten but yeah. Also it's hard to confirm, especially not knowing whether this is a global or MIH change, but there seems to be some hard limit to combos during MIH even if you follow all the SMP rules. I think it may be some air juggle max limit that's only implemented after a certain number of hits, or else a max limit to the number of total combinations period. I'm unsure. In anycase there's definitely something that causes the combo to drop towards the end and it isn't just a hard number since i've gotten it to drop on the 44th as opposed to the 57th. So far I've been able to hit 775 damage as my max, if anyone has been able to do better please let me know because it probably means you know something about his combo restrictions I don't. I'd like to be able to kill Dio in one shot :P.

If we do get internet and bandwidth is okay, I'd like to also run a stream if you don't mind, Fred. Also I'll probably be running a Team Tournament after GG Singles is over, if people are up for it. Either concurrently with BB (~6PM) or after dinner and BB (9PM) depending on what people (Fred) would prefer. I think people wanted to do a Team Dennys vs Team I-Hop Akatsuki Blitzkampf exhibition Large Team tournament at some point too, though I'm not sure if we have time for that. Maybe late at night if people will still be around for that.

Thanks Kenji, glad you enjoyed it! I will definitely be running a 3on3 with the same exact format for this upcoming NCD.

its okay - two months after that it will be a version behind again FailFish

So like.....when are we gonna stop calling it Dogfight_s_ >_>....
