Corner combo's should be learned last. Just learn her BnB first, then work yourself up. Don't rush strait into 12 taunt combo's if you blue beat on 3. Don't get ahead of yourself. It might be fun beating up on a beginner Tager, but once you get into a match, those awesome easy taunt combo's on a retarded computer are gonna do you no good. Trust me. Up against CopperDabbit's Arakune or TaoFTW's Tao, I can't even execute INTO the taunt combo. Learn how to ENTER taunt loops first, THEN learn the loop. As for non-taunt combo's I suggest 5b -> 3c -> 5d~b -> 5c as your BnB. It leads into decent damage (3k), and is easy to execute. And is EASILY customizable to character matchup, size, corner, and hieght, which is the best part. Such as 5d~b -> 5c -> 236a -> 2d~6 for litchi, or 5d~b -> taunt -> loop if you are point blank close or in the corner. Once you get your stuff down it can look somewhat like this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXs9fah-STU#t=00m20s You need to learn how to enter loops. 5b 6a JC 2d~b is bread and butter. There are other ways to enter loops, like 4B+C -> 214d -> land -> 6c -> 214d -> ... -> 2d~b -> taunt..., or 3c -> 5d~b -> taunt... like i said before, or 5b -> 6a -> JC(Delay) -> 5d~b -> taunt -> 214d(Slight delay) -> 2d~b -> taunt... etc etc. With those combo's practice one taunt FIRST, THEN LEARN TO END THE TAUNT. Remember, the loop itself is okay damage, but the ENDER with that delicious 500 dmg unprorated at the end is your GOAL. LEARN TO END THE LOOP, OR ITS NOT WORTH IT.

I'll help you out. 6c can total 12 taunts (Can vary in certain situations, such as 13 off of FC 2c 6c according to XDest). Its the best way to train your taunt loop, because when you successfully get all 12 taunts without blue beating, that means you successfully learned her loop and timing. First, learn her non-taunt bnb's. If you want to WIN you'll HAVE to learn her bnb. If you go around the match dropping taunt loops like I see many newbies doing (Including me), you wont have much fun with Tao. Appetizers first, then the main course. Second, learn your loop. If you can do a couple loops, at least you have some of the motion down. What makes you drop it is doing the joystick motion too fast for 95% of people who dont have the loop. Watch a couple video's to see the timing. THE JOYSTICK MOTION IS SLOW. TAKE YOUR TIME. TL Timing 1 TL Timing 2 (Not a good example of joystick speed) TL Timing 3 [P2 Side] Hope that helps.

The CDC is coming folks! Get hype! >:3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ScwPr4p_ig

BlazBlue CS: JP Console Trailer 2!

I want that shirt too Koogy T^T btw, if anyone has a decent camera and a decent setup (Or actually, any decent camera that has a tripod hole since spirit should have his tripod), you can record and send/give them to me later if you like.

Nope. Besides this :3 Most evil game. Ever. *rocket pipe.. Who was that recording teh noms with their phone at the gathering? 1) Yeah, that would be better for everyone. <:3 2) What do you use again? Justintv or something?

o-o Soul Calibur... 2? If its true.. ITS ON >:3 old school Talim, before they ruined her in 3 and 4

A big shout out for rod! That was super fun. Meeting some of the GG crew is pretty neat too, much more laid back than us HARDCORE BB'S lol. I'd say it was a big success, around 20 people maybe? Plus awesome NorCal cooking with teh Mabo tofu, and bomb pesto chicken pizza. Only thing though is I felt the roomates were like -__- the entire time, I felt bad. John mashing quarter circles and playing super Mario cat was pretty rofls too :3 I'M WORKIN ON DAT DIZZY ICE FRC

Keep the doubles. Not every one will be so hype, but to keep the NorCal facing together on a regular basis is good, as well as what Chun said, newbies can have at it while having some fun with other's instead of being steamrolled, then set aside to watch higher ranked players go at it all day. Also, it looks like I will not be attending the singles... YET AGAIN. I have work scheduled 3 days in a row during that weekend, and I have no place to stay since Aginor has important finals (School > Games). BUT... hopefully people will come down the NEXT weekend, cuz that's the weekend of Fanime, and depending on my schedule, I'm SURE to stop by SVGL and get games going. And possibly maybe I dunno probably not gonna happen the JP crew might stop by SVGL. You never know. We'll see.

First, I've got to ask, is there a DL community in Japan? I mean, if anything, you're smack dab right in the middle of game heaven it seems. If I remember correctly Akihabara is pretty close by isn't it? Where are the CS machine's in Tokyo? Second, do you still know exactly when the Daisuke/Mori panels are going to happen? Is it still set for the 28/29th? Any specific times in the day yet? And third, is it possible to post peoples names in the first post, so we can kinda see the layout of how many people are going, and who is going specifically. ありがとう。 (｀・ω・´)

Alright, it looks like I'm definitely coming. I was skeptical because a customer offered me a very expensive ticket to go see a super-sport race on saturday, but that got dumped. I have to leave early though (Around 9 or 10), because I have to wake up around 4 the next morning So yay bored people can mash teh cs :P

Please, spill teh beanz. :3

Srsly what the heck is this asuka 120%- *googles... MOE MASH PARTY i'm down. Plus I have VANGUARD PRINCESS. Bring your Dizzy, and I'll bring my Noel and we'll weab until our eyes bleed :333 Also, don't blame me for any stick problems, my comp hates Jeff's stick. I have xpadder if your stick reads at all. Well.. depending on who's there and how many setups there are, someone might be just sitting around waiting for a spot. Might as well mash CS while waiting. I'm actually still half-assed to go, it just depends on if its a big turnout. If it is, then i'm still going. If its like the pathetic doubles at SVGL we just had, then probably not

Alright guys, Fanime is closing in fast. I'm still wondering what the turnout is going to be like though, since I know some people who can EASILY go to Fanime decide not to, and some travel hundreds of miles to see Dai and Mori. Maybe a small compiled list will make it easier to see the size of the DL community that is attending. Plus maybe we can like actually gather there with Arcsys all together :3 For sure -TaoFTW -RinHara5aki -Vineeth -Honnou -KatanaDash -STenSatsu Maybe -JamKikse I'll edit the list of course as people post. 60 DOLLAR REG ENDS MAY 15TH. THEN ITS A WHOPPIN 100 DOLLARS I BELIEVE. REG NOW.

I think its a yes for me. I have the day off, but I have an early shift the next day, so I'm probably only gonna be there for a couple hours. And so I'll probably bring CS. Dont complain about input lag, its better than nothing... I can't really say much more before spirit starts eyeing me :8/:

Hey tao, hopefully when we get the cabinet to ourselves again we can make a final better version of a TL timing vid. But for now this might help people. BBCS Taokaka Visual TL Timing 3 [P2 Edition]

I thought the Space Needle was pretty cool when I was a kid. Given I didn't actually eat there though. MY childhood trauma was sitting though an ENTIRE SONICS GAME when the Sonics were still around. THAT WAS PAINFUL. Oh and Plastic, I dunno what I can suggest when you come down here, I'd like to go with you guy's down to SoCal, but it looks like you're having trouble finding room/drivers. I would technically "drive" but... like my only vehicle is my Kawi Ninja 250 I'm not happy riding that thing 200 miles + south. And also, I don't even have a drivers license (Class M only). I fell through a stupid loop in the Cali DMV system. There's got to be SOMEONE that drives in seattle lol..

I know the space needle is a secret flying saucer. You can use that to get over here. Cheap on gas. :3
