I live 5 minutes away and I can't justify myself going to MGL.

MGL? Sunday? Who's going to be there?

There's also this one occasional player that trolls everyone. Oh wait, that's me.

What are "elim's"? You mean prelims? First round? Loser's bracket round 1?

Tushar needs SC2 so he can troll with Brett and I.

So none of my matches got recorded? Oh well.

Panda Express is all sorts of bad :X

No ping pong table? Looks like we gotta get a random table and play on that. I'll bring a ping pong net lulz.

Regarding this saturday's ranbat, does DeVry happen to have an open gym or some sort of table tennis table nearby? If so...I CHALLENGE YOU TO PING PONG MONEY MATCH JOHN.

Tsubaki's isn't a fast fall, since j.D floats her in the air, so it's kind of a really slow-falling glide. Be very patient in this matchup, using B specials for projectile invincibility is a very inconsistent option that often results in you getting counterhit and comboed. Generally only charge when you are positive he won't hit you. I generally play this matchup with very little charge, or even no charge. Getting in and preventing the lambda player from zoning you out takes priority.

You should come to the upcoming Norcal minor at MGL so you can mash Jackie Chan with me (it's a side tournament lol).

Discuss the Tsubaki vs Litchi matchup here. Things to watch out for: Every normal she has is good and leads to good damage.All her normals are pretty much safe.....Her specials are pretty good...Her normals hit you from like half a screen away (with staff).IAD j.B is pretty common from most Litchi players Things you can use: 22B can autoguard her DP.Very good blocking.With proper spacing and reads, you can 2C her IAD attempts.When she has no staff, you can lay on pressure. Just watch out for wake-up/reversal hatsu.

Discuss the Tsubaki vs Rachel matchup here. Things to watch out for: Minor zoning.Rachel's corner game.Rachel's 2C/cat chair. Things you can use: You can use your B specials to guard point projectiles or go through them.

Discuss the Tsubaki vs Taokaka matchup here. Things to watch out for: Her air mobility is way better than yours.Her drive spamming is safe.Taunt loopsShe can duck under your 5B. Things you can use: 2C works very well against Tao, most of them will not space themselves.If you get her blocking on the ground, it's your advantage usually.When charging afar, mainly use 2D since Tao can close in very quickly with drive.
