So Kyle Wattula (crazy Carl player) said he might come down to the tournament. This could be the greatest BalzBloo shit Tennessee has seen. Can't wait!!!

This is great work! It would be even more amazing if someone could put this in a video...

That's not too big of a problem to me. I've played in tournaments in that small area. It's only difficult for spectators. With that said, I'm still bringing the "executive chair" as usual. I usually just set in a spot and leave it there for me and others to use throughout the day.

Yeah, I swear you were like the only person I didn't play that day. I played 100 other people...

I finally get to use my 360 pad again at a tournament. Last time I did that, I won the tournament. <3 Milln

I'll definitely be there. Get ready for Tager rape...

I'm somewhat near MTSU. Somebody should get something going.

Yeah, I'll try to get some games in with you guys if I see you on. Hopefully Milln is still planning to host the Game Galaxy one. It's always a blast.

Nothing really has "picked up" in middle Tennessee. Memphis always has stuff going on though...

Yeah, I never thought that Tager was godlike or anything, but he was decent. He did some really unnecessary stuff that cost him the match (attempted tech trap, wreckless pressure, etc). Personally, I hate the matchup. One combo and Ragna has 50 heat, which he uses to pressure like crazy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7SwDocRdAE (third match) Why does Tager always lose to Ragna? I've seen that matchup a lot in these videos we link to, and it almost never ends well for Tager...

Be careful of 2B 2C 4D on block. Last night, I IB'ed 2B and 720 punished before my opponent's 2C could hit. Better yet, you shouldn't try to be doing blockstrings in this matchup. Like everyone has said, just poke, poke, poke.

I'm in Lebanon, so I would definitely make that. I repped Tager (and won) at the CT event he hosted.

I double GF'ed a Mu that tried to backdash earlier. It was great. I just need to practice the timing on it though. Someone should make a video that shows it off on different characters. I would, but the quality would be bad...

I... love it.

Ah, thank you. Why didn't Jan 720 in that very last round? He had sooooooo many opportunities.

So, where are all of the SBO Tager vids? I saw one the other day, but now I can't find it.....

Yeah, thanks for the upload. Some notes on my thought process in the video: @ 0:39 - Forgot about this move. Honestly, this is the one of the first Haku's I had fought. The first week was just Ragna, Jin, and Tager. @ 0:49 - I just wanted easy magnetism here. @ 0:51 - Here, I was kind of testing the Haku's skills. I was wanting to know if he would either counter it or IB. Plus, it got me close. @ 0:56 - I was actually baiting the counter, BUT I BOTCHED A 360 MOTION?!?! Very ugly... @ 1:01 - Again, testing the waters. He actually did counter it though, so I tried not to do it any more (even though it slipped in there one more time IIRC). @ 1:04 - Botched collider. C didn't act like it was pressed.... @ 1:12 - Re-magnetizing again. @ 1:15 - LOLWTF 720. @ 1:23 - Expected a backwards tech, then bursted because I didn't want to eat a FC combo, but he messed up anyway... @ 1:45 - Didn't succeed earlier, but figured it would work here. The rest is self-explanatory. First, 4D beats 4C? News to me. Need to check out the matchup thread more. And yeah, I wasn't anti-airing him like I should've. I need to work on getting in against him too. Being poked by a 10-foot pole makes me leery. Thanks for the critiques guys. I'll definitely take them and use them in the future.
