I FINALLY DID A 9-CUBE COMBO WITH MODOK OFF OF A DOWNWARD AERIAL EXCHANGE!

All further discussions should be taken over to the MWC thread to hype it up.

Matchups that don't feel too bad (as I see it): Ragna Bang Valk Lambda Plat Noel The rest, it just seems like we can get lamed out too easily. Tao, Rachel, and Haz just hit and run. We get poked to death by Mu, Litchi, and Haku. Tsubaki can poke and run or rush us once she gets charges. Makoto and Arakune rape everything. Carl is still Carl. I don't know... I feel like I need a sub just to fight those matchups above and feel confident.

For those unaware, 6B 2C xx Collider works after MTW xx Terrabreak too. I think Osuna was testing this in longer combos though that end with Terrabreak, where 6B 2C xx Collider wouldn't work.

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday.

ROFL. Yep, Shaq-Fu was my guess...

Midwest Championship, hosted in middle Tennessee (Game Galaxy; same place you visited that one month) at the end of June. Milln should've put a thread up for it by now, but I'm sure work is eating him again.

MWC definitely needs a separate thread. It could grab the attention of surrounding Blazblue players. Oh, and about the mystery game. I thought the initials were SF instead of SK.

I know what the mystery game is. Blame Richard (and no, he didn't tell me directly).

It's all good. Tager took first place. lol And yeah, that's Seiki aka Optic aka Naimat aka Saltmaster. He's very opinionated and usually sees his opinions as definitive truth. You'll get used to it.

SHOUTOUTS!!! Milln - You come first of course. Thanks for the surprise quarter-fest. I think we can all say we had a blast hanging out in the arcade. Also, great job on another successful tournament and for the overabundance of tvs. Tad - Glad you could finally make it up. Always fun hanging out with you and playing CS2 and MvC3. That Noel was destroying me in our last casuals. Chandler - WE FINALLY PLAYED AFTER THREE MONTHS! Haha. Good matches, and thanks for taking the burden of recording. Midnight - Tager's day finally came. The matchups were tough, but they were a lot of fun. GG's. And now you know the secret to 6A... lol LSS - Dat Noel! It was crazy watching you play CS2 Noel. You were pulling off all sorts of 5k-6k combos. For the first time ever, we didn't have to play each other in the tournament. We'll get some matches in at MWC. Doro - You had to INSTANTLY fight me in both tournaments. But hey, it was good experience. We'll play more over XBL. Papstr - Glad you and Kain made it out. LOL @ our Plat talk. "Yeah, she has easy combos." *Fails at her challenge mode* Naimat - Well, you still made it for casuals. Thanks for accurately predicting my win over Midnight. GG's in casuals. Volpe - PLAY MORE GAMES WITH US! Did you enter anything yesterday? Klein - Haku scares me with his 10ft long weapon. I think if you kept Tager out instead of rushing in, you'd win the matchup easily. GG's in the tournament. Grimstar - WTF? Where were you yesterday?! See you all at MWC in a month!!!

I'm about to leave. Everyone who has MvC3, be sure to bring a copy (we always have plenty of Blazblue copies). We're gonna have a lot of setups thanks to Milln.

Guys, I'm having a lot of trouble against rushdown all of a sudden. Characters like Bang and Plat who run up 5A,5B stagger, 5A,5B just wreck me. Is 5A the only safe solution here?

Just borrow people's pad/stick throughout the tournament. We don't mind sharing. Unless, someone does in fact bring a spare one.

I think you may have blocked communications from me on XBL by accident. Send me a message on XBL and it will fix the problem.

Doro, why you ignoring me?

The ONLY way to win this is to rush her down ASAP. Don't let her get any charges in. She's pretty free without charges, but we lose when she's full up. When the match starts, IB the 5B (many Tsubakis start with this) then react to their next move. If they IAD away, sj.C,D (close to ground) to counterhit her charge. Elbow drop the antiair if you think she's going for that. Don't even try to beat her dp when she has charges. Nothing works. Nothing. With the IB nerf, we just have to block her strings and try to guess what she's going to do next. Although, IB 720 still works on instant blocking 5BB. This matchup is really tough now.

Dem pedophiles.

The breasts are too big for Midnight in MK. He prefers the little girl chesticles in AH3.

I'm not, but I think Boomcube and Billy likes it. Mix them in with some of the arcade regulars and you should have at least an 8-man tournament.

OK, will do. Hopefully I won't forget.

Milln, Richard wants you to contact him. He can't remember his login info for Dustloop.

You're only allowed one ground bounce in a combo, so doing two divekicks will result in an immediate tech, ending the combo. Divekick can hit a standing opponent though to stagger them, and it doesn't count as a ground bounce.

My word spreading on SRK may have picked us up a new member. Got a pm from him saying he was interested.
