Alright, Im not sure what my chances are of going to this NCI, but its pretty high because at that point I'll be jobless, so I won't have a schedule. Chun let me know that since Blazblue isn't the main event (I'm kinda glad, a lot of people complained about that), that I'll need to make my own setup. That's fine by me, but we just have to make sure there are not going to be many crossed-over commentators, because I'd like someone commentating BB consistently if possible.

Yeah, Omni said it. 236 just before you land, and hit 6 on landing, that should buffer it well enough for you to dash ASAP when you land so it won't bluebeat. Oh I thought you meant an extra 6 on top of the other 6's, mash the dash much? Yeah, people tend to use one or the other, but using both may get more accurate results. I hate the half-circle motions too. Even Satoshi dropped one during Revelations. You're welcome? xD

You might be able to reverse the order and use D-pad 236 -> analog 6 and make it work, I haven't tried that ;3

You mean like 23666? o_o? If you're talking about doing it normally, it's really difficult depending on the pad. Regular sixaxis doesn't detect neutral fast enough, so all I keep getting is just 236. Also the occasional dash 6a and dashless orb are annoying as hell, you see that doing it normally does not work at all for me in the video. It's just a technique, no one has to use it lol.

You're probably not using a pad, but this is still a nice trick to make the 2366a-d combo's braindead.

Aww man well say hi to a Taokaka player named Ronove if you meet him there :3. And yes, dont get hit by optic barrels, by Noel OR IRL.

I agree with Spirit Juice, I highly doubt Chun's gonna smoke a doobie with NCI funds, it's going towards a cause and I'm NOT afraid that Chun is going to misspend it. But, as amazingly fun as this tournament was, logistics and organization wise, on everyone's part was very rickety. I think the biggest factor is the scheduling. As Crosell said, we have to stop being nice. If someone is not there, they are NOT THERE, and we have to make a final statement, 5 minutes is too long. It doesn't matter that the tournament gets tons of Byes/DQ's but if that's what it takes then it should happen anyways. Also, the fact that there were crossed tournaments where people entered GG/MB/BB/Cath. makes it difficult to run everything efficiently because they are always held up in a bracket in another game. The USB cabinet/Joystick problem was unforseen, and it sucked, there wasn't anything we can do about it but Orion/Willy/Crosell did pretty well rounding everybody through the brackets around that BS (I'm guilty as charged lol pad 4 lyf ) Coopa, we HAVE to get SD/HD transfers quickly and efficiently, the setup change from BB to GG was rediculous, I know that my setup being there made it slightly more confusing, but being able to transfer to a new setup must be more efficient. I think we said 30 second setup change to the stream monsters took instead about 20 minutes. On that note, FKO should get on a "Stream test", "Restart", "Setup Change" wallpaper so that streamers can visually see that the stream is going to go down. On this entire note, we should take this entire tournament as a huge lesson, its a GREAT example of what we can definitely improve on so we can reduce the problems as much as possible next time. Take this as a learning experience, not something we fucked up on, especially since it was such a great tournament in the end.

Truest statement of the year lol. Late shoutouts since Youtube uploader is stupid as fuck and I can't upload videos so I have time to spare now- Myung: For being freakin amazing, your arcade rocks! Shadowfiend: You're always the best mang, I wish we could adopt you here in Norcal ;__; for all those salty players and boring matches, everything you do just injects hype into the tourney. Xie: For being awesome like always :3 our match was really fun, it would be a lot more interesting if I had solid fundamentals. A match between you and MysticD would sounded interesting. Crosell/Whiteboywilly: Yo you guys got me on that GDLK ramen, I could just die happy :3 Thanks for hanging around and running brackets! OrionXElite: :3 Coopa: Dude, streaming stamina is a little different from recording stamina, and I could tell you were dying towards the end of the tournament. Thanks again for beastin for FKO and tag-teaming the media. Raikanami: LOL JAY thanks for the camera stuff Sahgren/hobbes: Thanks for the lift! Couldn't have done my usual without you guys :3 Chun: Holdin dat shit down, great tournament great experience Huey: Good shit on first! You deserve it! c0r/sG: Thanks for holding it down on the mic guys, I think PNW commentary was needed :3

Damn son you got trolled xD WE IN DA ZONE

I have TONS of equipment so I hope you have trunk space, but yes I would love to be picked up :3

Like the prince of bel-air, FRESH Sites looking good.

I was kinda joking, but there is a little seriousness I was intending here. Sleep deprivation is not a excuse to not make a tournament. Standard tournament timings are usually 8-10am start, and we should follow suit. As for driving distance combination with the sleep factor, I don't think a 2 hour difference would ruin the tournament, imo. Could be wrong, depending on people reactions around the bay. Probably the Sac people will get hit the most hardest. Also, if people worked on NCI day I highly doubt they would come at all, and if they did, they would come later, when the tournament already started, just to casual and socialize. In all honestly, I was saying 10 so that between 10-12, we can get a LOT of preparation and organization DONE, so then we can start cleanly at 12. The "Come 12 start 12" mentality hasn't been working... for the past 8 months lol. On another note, I money match all takers on Final Fantasy 7 REAL TALK

Very easy to fix the tournament time problem- Tourney starts at 10! Tournament actually starts at 12. Mission accomplished, we started at 12 roflz.

Exclusive BB EVO intro in HD on TheBBVlog SPECIAL! Blazblue Continuum Shift II EVO 2011 INTRO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0vPQ2ldkeY The EVO moment #47.. PS3: 7/30 BBCS2 EVO2011: MikeZ (TG) vs. IkeTakeda (HZ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbE3hZYbX2k Several matches from pools are already uploaded. More matches will be uploaded over time.

http://www.youtube.com/thebbvlog Uploads are starting now. Thanks Crosell :3

I haven't ever been to a previous evo, but this far surpassed my expectations. Be ready for front stage action with sad panda LK, and Spark blowing everyone up... it was amazing. A big thanks to OrionXElite and Crosell for manning TheBBVlog while I was up front. Luckily, I didn't lose anything the entire EVO, and its thanks to the crew for watching my stuff :3 Prepare for MikeZ Hokuto no Ken basketball infinites folks.

Talked to Wizard. Basically, we are streaming both at the same time. BUT... with the power of Rin and Rai, *whisper* we favor Blazblue * SHHHHHHH.. :3 Also, I have a backup plan, where if we must switch to Tekken, I will then take over as the "Head Streamer" for Blazblue, and instead, I'll setup my full setup on a secondary console. So while they're streaming Tekken, Blazblue will be recorded fully by me, and the judges will push the higher level players on MY setup. Basically, TheBBVlog will have entire coverage, but BB stream monsters may have a tough time watching 8 way runs for hours on end..
