That one trailer? And holy shit, Endless Despair II intro is AMAZING. I can't stop listening to it.

"Kuro Kishi" which is literal for "Black Knight"

The OP was above average, I still put the CT intro as the best. There's was a lot of still imagery for the most part, but it wasn't bland and blatantly low budget as the CS intro. I give it a 7/10. By no means was it bad either, it just didn't take a shit on my brain.

Fair points made, thanks for clarifying. Wasn't aware of the true purposes of these threads intended by the Dustloominati.

Oh, I thought this discussion could have easily fit in the CP Story thread, in my opinion. Concrete facts and speculation/fantasies are what makes story threads from what i've seen.

Why is this a thread of it's own?

Is anyone going to be there tomorrow? I intend to pass through.

VR Raiden, I just wanted to come here and give you props for the Grand/Ground Viper tutorial that you made on youtube. I'll be showing it to my friend real soon.

My bad, I over slept when I took a nap. I should be online today and tomorrow.

The Anniversary Book is out already?

I wasn't aware Sol's max damage dropped off, but when I think about it both from match vids and personal experience I rarely saw Sol pull out 60% health combos in ACR. But like I said Sol's poking buffs really help him deal with Ky's tools. Sol's combos conversion, pressure, and tools are just overall more consistent and stable as opposed to his AC days in my opinion. Could you explain this easier for someone as mathematically inept as myself :/?

I honestly wish May from GG and Tao just got HIV so they could each not be in the next installations of their game series... :/ Nemesis with them cold words? Do you play hakumen or something? Me against mAc: ^mAc is Faora btw.

Playing dioxide in BB wasn't bad actually, even on wireless. Playing someone within Montreal in GG, made me want to punch someone's kitten in the ribs.

^If you're referring to me, I'm technically not new. Let's just hope psn doesn't make me want to throw my ps3 or my tv out of the window. So long as that doesn't happen I'll be playing online. @dioxide, why won't you be a challenge, and I thought you couldn't afford it?

:o I don't think anyone with a Hakumen award besides myself is getting the game. SO i'll take on your challenge. I'm free this week, I only watch anime on my xbox at this point. So hit me up whenever that happens. Have you begun to cut down their aspirations as well. That's the next step to bring your Hakumen game to the next level, dreams AND aspirations must be eliminated.

This is the closest I've come to seeing Hakumen losing to Ragna in BK. I guess Mori never shows Hakumen losing to Ragna on screen in order to maintain his badass demeanor. Also take notes Hakumen players, Hakumen didn't even mash D once and still bodied Ragna's shit. Shoutouts to Hakumen using kishuu though. I enjoyed this episode, now to see Ragna get bodied by Hazama is all I need.

I'm certain your self-perceived "lack of priority" on his normals is attributed to poor spacing. He is a very spacing heavy character, if you don't know how to space your normals/specials you'll get eaten up like fried plantain. That's why I asked if you could show me your matches, but if you're already seeing progress in your playstyle then that's good. EDIT: Due to my playstyle of being very spacing oriented, this is how I feel playing against dioxide: ^thought I should just put that out there for her. She's hulk btw.

Wow thanks for your good work sir, I didn't even see these.

As do I, while Sol's pokes/neutral game got buffed to where it should be, what with meterless fafnir poke extensions into a possible 25% T.R, and FB sidewinder. He has more combo-ability better knockdown potential off combos and more more solid pokes that bleed into his pressure game. Equally Ky has gotten the buffs he's needed, better ways of extending pressure; vacuum effect of lightning sphere, 3hs (ballerina slash), and lower minimum aerial requirements for j.d really help him maintain pressure on his opponents without becoming obvious and putting himself at risk. He also has increased damage potential thinks to easier hit confirms off lightning sphere since it pulls in the opponent, 3hs having AMAZING proration, and finally his new corner combos. Each character has gotten the right tools to compete against the rest of the diverse cast better, and better tools to face each other. If one or the other didn't get these buffs, it wouldn't be even but, as it stands it's still dead even. What are your thoughts Orrax, you seem very knowledgeable on Mr. Badguy.

An outsiders perspective can help, can you get some of your matches on youtube or somethingIf you can, either post them in the Hakumen Critique thread, or personally message me links to your matches. I can provide feedback and personal advice on where and what you're doing wrong that prevents you from excelling with hakumen.

May I ask who said Ky vs Sol in ACR is advantageous to Ky and why? And also why Order Sol has a slight advantage over Ky now in ACR?

Yes, the Slash 2172 A.D and Frasco freeze, regardless of the characters you play with or how long. Well, looks like we're living with this glitch. I'm just glad I can finally use "Random" song selection. It looks like the patch as only released on JPSN though, thought they would've sent it through NAPSN too. Oh well...

I would tell everyone to vote for BBCP since GG will get it's time to shine in 2014 with Xrd, with or without it getting in for EVO2014. BB needs more pressing attention than GG does at the moment, unless BB follows suit of the animation style and mechanics of GG/Xrd. Anyways I don't have twitter, this is just me expressing my thoughts. Hopefully I'll get to see Spark and Steve H body people regardless. Also I may not be able to make it tomorrow due to a thanks giving dinner happening tomorrow.

That's what I was saying in the ACR thread, it's region locked for us Canadians. Worst part is, when you go to "Help and Options", there's the menu to switch between AC to ACR now, but the menu only stays on "AC". As if you taunt us lol. Thank god, I have it on JPSN. Or else this would've driven me crazy. EDIT: @Deadli, Thelo is from Montreal lol.

The update on 360, is only available for the U.S. Once again it is region locked lol.
