Yeah, that's bit of a drive for that small of a tournament...
-
What?! A TN player that actually likes and plays BB? Where were you during the BB tourney over at Game Galaxy last Saturday?
-
Oh, I saved our awesome match that went to the 5th round. I might have to put that one youtube... which I haven't done in ages.
-
Nah man, no casuals go on that I know of. I plan on going to the next one too though. Hopefully, BB will grab more attention after those awesome matches between us.

Hey man, good stuff in that BB tournament. It was nice to fight a Noel that actually knows to abuse 5A against Tager. I've also never seen anyone use her flipkick to stop my sledges! That was crazy as hell. Anyway, great games. Hope to see you in the next one.

January 9 IIRC.

That's the kind of explanation I was hoping for. Thanks Mike. So, in all, neutral techs ruin everything for Tager... unless you predict and Collider them.

Two questions here. 1. Technically speaking, what is the difference between 360A/B and 720. Is 720 like a 1-frame catch like Gief's 720 in SF4, while 360A/B has startup frames. I think the ability to hold it down confuses me here. I mean, if there are 720 tech traps, why isn't there 360A tech traps? The way I see it, 360A traps can happen if you release it on the exact right frame. Maybe I'm way off, and sorry if I confused anyone... 2. Why is it that neutral techs can ruin 720 tech traps? For example, in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQFBCHzKOW0) at 4:20, MikeZ said that Tager activated the second 720 too early (it could be jumped). Why is this?

360A in the corner, j.B whiff, 720 catches a lot of people. Usually, they try to tech out of the corner by rolling underneath you. I never understood why people do the 5C, 720 in this instance. The 5C can hit them on a certain tech (can't remember which one) which can ruin the 720. Plus, it seems harder to hit-confirm, or whiff-confirm in this case, the 5C to stop yourself from doing 720. At least with j.B whiff, it's easier to tell when they neutral tech where they can escape. I think they can escape with neutral tech.....

Does anyone else find this matchup boring? It's no v13, but not much happens either.
-
I purposefully whiffed a 236A right in front of someone, then 720'd them. I'm sure the other guy's face was something like

Tiamat, I read this yesterday and thought "Yeah, he's just missing the timing or something." However, after a lot of matches with a Tao player today, I found myself getting hit by her 2A during my 5A. A few times, it certainly looked like she was going right underneath my 5A. And off topic, but Tiamat, how did you from Nightmare in SC4 to Tager in BB? I would've expected you to use Ragna, or anyone else for that matter.

That's the only way I've been able to fight Hakumen. His main way to get in seems to be air dashing in and attacking. A simple backstep into 360A should stop him if he tries to attack upon landing. But yeah, 5A seems to stop a lot up close.
