good luck to everyone who is back to school today

I'm playing hookie from work with my boss to go to the mall and buy Catherine and go ice skaing. Tgif for reals :3

♪♫♫♪♫I bet he thinks this thread is about him♪♫♫♪♫

you don't cancel into another j.c... you do: j.c 2d jump cancel j.2c if you do it correctly you'll get a level 2 j.2c which will bounce them high enough for you to land and get 236b. They're all over this combo video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOhZgdzPo-0&feature=related

Mami is supposed to be low tier so she can die on the 2nd level.

I'm late for work every day. I come with coffee for the boss so she "doesn't notice" :3

I agree with you that most of the changes could irrelevant by the end of the loketest, I still feel that that is Blaz news and should be hyped on the main page of our website. There plenty of CMVs, tutorials, silly videos, that could be posted on the front page that already exists. I may never seek out and watch an Arakune CMV on my own. If it's on the main page and it's there, I'll probably give it a look. I might join in on some discussion about his gameplay, I might pop in and gripe about bugs, I might learn a thing or two about a character I normally wouldn't pay much attention to. Even if some of the content is filler, it's better than no content at all. If something becomes a shitstorm, that's why we have mods right? It's all good man. We're all busy with real life, my real point was there is a lot of great content that you have to dig for, it should be someone's job to find it and throw it up on the front page and spark some discussion.

Guilty Gear/Blazblue gets treated like Fighting Game's bastard child. Maybe SRK's bastard child, idk. There is a buttload of content throughout our forums that could be posted up on the main page. I don't know who is allowed to post content/news/whatever on the front page, nor do I know if my opinion will even be taken in consideration but here it is: The front page useless in it's current state... There is plenty of CS2+ information flowing as this thread grows... Why isn't any of it on the front page right now? SRK already has a post on the main page with some Relius footage and such. Why doesn't Dustloop, the goto website for GG/BB, have this content on the main page? How is anyone going to know any of this information even exists if they don't read the general gameplay thread to begin with? The route I took to find this content is as follows: I went to DL>visited my character sub forum>read some posts in the general thread>saw someone elude to mechanic changes in CS2+ > looked in blazblue gameplay section for a thread (because I mean, mechanic changes = gameplay right?) it wasn't there> checked general and found the thread. While this might not seem like such a big deal, my point is, I had to jump through hoops to get to content that could have been a news article on the main page. I guess what I'm trying to say is SRK is great and everything, but it's not where I get my BB fix. I know that DL is the website to go to. Rather than trying to fix SRK we should focus on DL.

j2c > pumpkin would be so nice

Good Luck to all the Rachel Sanctuary peeps attending EVO this year. I'm pulling for y'all.

Dat George... He mad shady.

best of luck gli~~~

BIDEN BIDEN KITTY!

Is it just me or is Rachel looking a little funny in this picture?

I'll gladly pay you tomorrow for a glirandly today :3

This sounds like it could be a great idea providing that the we keep up with it. Maybe starting this will provide some motivation to get working on that english j2c video/tutorial video. While we're at it we could maybe clean up the Makoto/Litchi boards a little bit. :3

Looks good. I'll probably hop in there when I get home and not say anything.

That's how I usually set up guard break combos. 5bd>6a xn 5cdc > george > cat chair > FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I second that.

It's QB eating himself. He was saying something about a contract and entropy... I couldn't really understand him because his mouth was full.

I get so salty when I feel like I'm getting stuffed by lag. I start dropping easy things and blame that on lag, then I rq and smoke a cigarette. I really am a POS online. You're top notch don't feel free buddy

try this for giggles: CH 6b 5d j.c j236c land 5b and so on

Yea, I'm ashamed to say that I've been avoiding high level lambdas in ranked matches cause I'm scurred.

Tempest, watching you do your thing with Rachel is too entertaining. I love watching other people use her. I'm always picking little things up here from all of you. Heartz.

Here are some random, semi organized thoughts. If anything is wrong or just flat out dumb feel free to point it out and I'll edit this post. Mixups: Using 2d/3d to make Rachel short hop is a strong mix up tool. 5b 2d j.c ja is a quick overhead… once they become hip to this do an empty jump and try a low. Empty jump to throw also works. Also, you can do things like 5b2d j.c ja j.c ja. There are so many possibilities so experiment with this. 5b iad j2c1d is a pretty ambiguous crossup. 6b is jcable now, you can do things like 5b 2b 5bb3d iad ja. If your opponent likes to jump away go for an air throw or a jc... just keep it fresh Be careful not to try to use 2b after 4b if you’ve already used 5b 2b 5b in your string because it won’t come out. Okizeme: Mid Screen 3c > 214b (opponent stands up) 6c 214a3d lets you summon George and stay in your opponents face. If your opponent blocks 6c they are pretty much forced to block the frog. It’s a good way to set up an astral too. In the corner: 214a > 3c punishes forward tech rolls and activates the George. 2b > 5b picks up into whatever if your opponent thinks it's a good idea to forward roll. If you properly bait the forward roll you can do something like 2b 5b j.c jc2d j.c lvl2 j2c bbl 214a 5cc 236a 5cc oki Misc. tips/tricks: Air throw 3d 5b j.c air throw x n to catch people that aren't paying attention to life (forces rqs) Iris feint is really good against people that are in frog stun (thanks Gli) I like to do 6c 214c land 2b If your opponent is recovering in the air jump and lob a seeds, see how many times you can repeat this before your opponent is hip to it (or quits because you’re trolling them)! Don't forget that 6a is good again. Dashing forward and throwing out 6a mid screen will remind your opponent not to jump in effectively limiting their options. Even better: they continue to jump in and you get a free lvl2 j2c combo for their persistence Tempest Dahlia is really good now here are some uses: -use it to regen wind and reset zoning -use it to get in and mix up (lvl 4 gives you an invisible mix up) -use it to pressure in the corner. I abuse iad > iris and I have pretty good success with it. Don’t forget to pick them up if it hits. 5b’s range is really good you can use that to pick up. 6b is jump cancellable now so you can use that to pick up too. Don’t forget to pick up CH JC. You can easily get a lvl2 j2c combo off of this. If your opponent is too high you can still do jc2d jc land bbl Start the match with a sj8d and plant some seeds 7d works too but puts you in the corner Start the match with an iad air throw You can chase a 6b ch with 3c5d dash and pick up with 5b into a lvl2j2c You can pick up a random frog with 5b into a lvl2 j2c combo More coming soon…
