Man, I don't have a PC compatible stick anymore to practice MBAC with :/ p.s. for anyone who cares, that Slayer player's name is Shineiya. I made a post about him earlier at some point. Best Slayer player ever. Uppercuts > Me.

he better fucking get current code. also, why isn't valk on the cabinet.

Goro's the best Lambda in Japan, you should just be watching him in general. Also that Akira vs Goro match is SO very reminiscent of the infamous Ribaia vs Galileo match lol. Anyways, I don't think I'll be fiending today.

I might be coming at 10, but I can't come earlier :/ edit: ok i don't know if i can even come, i just came home and both the cars are gone I don't know about everyone else. edit: I know pui isn't going to go lol.

It's hard, but it's one of your only consistent punishes against Bang. Just go into training mode and practice IB punishing the 2A over and over again. I admit though, I have a lot of trouble IB-ing Bang's 2A's as well.

you definitely could have won that tournament imo. if you were just a bit more on point you could have had it. i don't want to criticize to much cause i think you seem to have a good understanding of where your mistakes were, but i want to say a few things: - against the ragna, you were kind of too passive imo. just a general comment on your playstyle in this match-up, it worked out fine and i think you became less passive as the game went on, but i think you could have abused some ib openings a bit more. - against bang, you ate a LOT of 2a's. if anything, this was the main reason you lost. i know this is probably because you were trying to IB the 2a's (i'm very bad at IB-ing 2a's myself), in which case if you're not confident that you can do that, you just shouldn't try unless you REALLY have it down in muscle memory from training mode. instead, focus on reacting and ib punishing much slower moves like his drive attacks, 2c and super crash (though you did ib punish his 5a; perfect). also focus on punishing bang's jump cancels after his 2b, which can be hard depending on what the bang does of course, but in this case it's all about yomi. - this is a general comment on your oki game. corner oki ... just needs improvement. some of the games the opponent would roll out of the corner in your face, which you should have reacted immediately to with a 360b. i'm sure you know that, and it was just nerves getting to you though. also, after doing 2d in the corner, on oki, you should IMO always do a 2B to catch potential tech rolls and quick get-ups (in fact, against the Bang player, he did a quick get-up one round in the corner). also, don't gadget in the corner please (unless you're going for some sort of RC set-up). - to add to what a.x.i.s. said about noel: you can also ib her drives and 5a a lot of her drive follow-ups as well if you feel you're not confident in sledging her drive spam (5a should stuff the 6b drive actually iirc).

post to Akuun (and other lambda players who happened to read this). when I do b-sledge to punish a 5d or 4d, you can react and punish my sledge by canceling the 5d and 4d into your gravity well for a free counter hit combo. for some reason i never see any of you guys do that, so i'm just throwing the knowledge out there.

yea that throw glitch is actually really useful. 2c pick-up into nonsense damage combo. p.s. valk is fun.

if i improve a lot in the next month, then i'll be happy with myself. i should probably also confess that another reason i don't get on the cab lately is cause pui has been using tager a lot lately to troll and has been winning in ways that make people want to quit the game. so i'm thinking people are already sick of fighting tager. i'm down for gety monday as well >.>

this was the best match of the tourney. it's missing hte beginning of one of the 2nd round i believe. akuun did the c-act parser and caught tim's backdash. he did dash in 5c, and tim bursts. then tim immediately does c-act parser. akuun gets hit. tim does dash in 5c. akuun bursts.

well, i'll be going to NEC, and i'm probably going to use tager. i don't expect to do well, but i'll try with that pos character :/

sigh

thank you k2 for hosting. thank you k2 for teaming up with me, might as well say our team name only refers to you, cause you're the real beast. i am not satisfied with my bb performance, i don't think i'm playing this game enough lately, need more training before mbac. i'm still salty about throw whiff hotenjin but i'm happy about zappa getting sword four times in a row gj cambridge for getting 3rd agian. i don't know how you guys keep doing that lol. melty is fun, i think i'll get the pc version and go into training mode. thanks to everyone who came out.

Ken is switching to Hazama. And I don't know if you noticed, but I barely play BB at Gety these days, and when I do get on the cab, I don't even use Tager half the time >_>. Cause yea, even I'm sick of TAger. p.s. I borrowed a PS3, time to learn VAlk

dark angel mix-up only works on console ninja. if i got hit by dark angel, it's because i was hopelessly trying to mash hs fuujin. little did i know the correct answer was slashback > mash throw (lol steve). p.s. my biggest advice to you roldy is to learn to (instant) block anji's stomp (kai). it's an overhead with frame advantage. either that or learn to air throw it. and yes melty was hype, because little did i know that spiralguy actually knows how to play melty competently and i was told that mbaa was the game he played the 2nd most while he was in japan (second to sf4).

Combo would work if he did j.B instead of B-sled-oh wait no, you can't just do 6a > B/Egadget :/

when those ssf4ae cabs come in, i demand we reopen a gety thread on srk and dick around there for a few weeks ... and then migrate back to dustloop.

i want to mention that when hermes says "4 sets" he means the boss might be getting a total of 8 ssf4:ae boards i think? gonna cost an arm and a leg, but hopefully he's still rich from horse racing (or from us poor people feeding him money with airdash games).

p.s. he doesn't have arcana heart set-up. right now it's just mb/bb/gg side-by-side. though really, add the remaining two games, and the place is golden. true poverty. yup. it happened last night. it was BUS TOUR

move kof98 to the 3s/sf4/t6 row, and put in hnk. replace the broken cab beside bbcs with ah1. an entire row of airdash, sadlife and poverty. shit would be so hype. and when those ssf4ae boards come in, even more hype. gety revival (for maybe a few months lol). it's pretty convenient to hop cabs that are side-by-side. i need training mode for mbac to learn sacchin edit: mbac is almost being treated like its a new game now because the volume is quite high on that cab lol.

wow, lots of people showed up today lol, bunch of mashers i tell ya. maybe i'll let pui explain the mb situation, cause i'm going to sleep now.

i'm in for mbac. i will be using neko arc for the tourney.

the boss got on the melty cab last night btw ... mashed really hard with nero. i don't think tim even gave him a mercy round.

so i just came back from gety. mbac is still there. boss is going to keep it there for a while, i think just to keep the airdashers interested or something. imo he should just continue rotating games in and out of that cabinet every week to keep people interested or something lol (e.g. hnk next week, ah1 the week after, etc.) i was mashing out combos with aoko, but i don't know how to play mbac so uhhhhh. maybe i'll learn satsuki in mbac.
