I have a feeling the first tournaments turnout is gonna be pretty dismal, but that won't discourage me... plus if no good players show up its like free money for me:v:... Albeit a small amount. Hopefully the tournament will be more hype next time (still who knows, maybe alot of break goers will show up for it and it'll actually be pretty good). EDIT: Oh yeah, when I ran the flyers by the owner about the tournament he told me to scratch the venue fee completely. Looks like he might be doing this out of charity afterall , though still be prepared in case he wants us to pay afterwards per game we played (somehow I doubt it, it seems that his mindset is that if the machine in event mode is set to free play and its illegal to take money from the players there's nothing he can do about it). So event mode with only fee being towards the pot, sounds like an awesome deal no matter how you look at it.

Something tells me that nobody from DL is gonna show up and it's all gonna be people from the break... What happened to jersey and its hype?

well so far only you, me, and ril would be going. So unless more people decide to go I doubt it. Unless like 8 more people say they can go by tomorrow, I'll be moving it to the 29th. EDIT: changed the date to may 30th since there's really nobody who can make it. Alright guys end of the month break tournament get hype for this.

I have no problem changing the date, its just that the place is in DIRE need of a tournament, and I don't want to seem like the person who said he was gonna do one a month ago there but never ended up doing shit. I figure this weekend is too early, but if people post saying they can make it this weekend I'll definitely do it then. If not I'll just have to shift it to like May 29th since ECT is on the 22nd.

Hey there Jersey! Tired of having to head to NYC to play some BBCS against competent players? Tired of going to the break only for nobody to dare go near the BBCS machine? Well so are quite a few people, myself included. After much deliberation it was decided that a tournament should be run here. Interested in it? Then start reading to find out where, when, and how it's gonna go down. So far the plans for the tournament are to do singles, double elimination style, on a bi-weekly basis. For our next tournament at 8 on the break arcade, we'll be holding it on the 22nd of August. Starting time will be 2:30 pm. Forget the cabinet, we have consoles now. There will be a minimum of one PS3 to run the tournament on (mine) and two sticks for it. If you wish to use your own stick or bring a pad, I advise you to bring it. If you wish to bring a setup to speed up the tournament please make sure to have all the characters unlocked. Unlockable and DLC characters are allowed obviously. Plans are so far for a 5 dollar entry fee for the tournament. The entry fee will go towards the pot with 1st place taking 70%, 2nd taking 20%, and 3rd taking 10% of the pot. Now as for the location, obviously as stated earlier this tournament is going to be held at 8 on the break arcade, which is located at 346 North Avenue, Dunellen New Jersey. For those of you coming from New York City, and would like to take the train. Simply take NJ Transit to Dunellen station from New York Penn Station, you'll have to make a transfer at Newark Penn Station. the Arcade is literally right across the street from the train station. If you're heading towards the municipal building from the train station you're heading the right way. There is no excuse for anyone not to come to this besides early start time or living mad far. So get hype New Jersey!

I don't think this combo has been posted, but this is a stupidly hilarious glitch of a combo. Basically in the corner do (5a optional) 5b 2b 2c 623b 5b 623b 623b 623b xx 236236d. The glitch is that after the second hit of ashura the opponent can immediately tech instead of having to wait on the ground for you to finish the pose after the distortion. Now for players that don't know about this glitch bang has invuln frames during the pose after ashura. So a player who has never had this done to him or seen it done could potentially try to punish your pose and whiff, allowing you for a punish to his punish on recovery . This combo works on everyone.

Good games to all. fuck litchi. And god damn alzerath, you've made me fear rachel yet again.

Kinda funny how I picked my main in BB. I remember reading up on all the characters a bit before going to CTF to play the game. I had decided to try out noel and nu, who I figured would be my mains. When I finally sat down and played, I started out with noel, and basically didn't know about the different control setup... So all I was doing was mashing drive lol. However there was one match, where I faced the AI tager. He landed one 720 on me, and my mind was blown at the damage. Shortly after that I tired nu, with the second control scheme (thinking it was a different fighting style not button layout haha), and was shocked to see the giant object behind her transform into her suit of swords. Ironically I mashed drive with noel, and mashed C with nu. Shortly after getting home I picked up BB for the PS3 and immediately tried out tager. After that I fell in love, and continue to love him to this day. Who says you can't mix love and science?

Count me in, but I don't have a team at the moment. This time I'm fucking going with my actual main instead of deciding to go with a less pressure susceptable character that I'm not as good with. You can count on some tagerin this saturday. Anybody need a good Tager for their team? EDIT: We need an all tager team, come on tager mains, lets make it happen.

That sounds good. When I heard it was a 2v2 I was like, shit where am I gonna find someone to partner with? I figured if worst came to worst I would just partner up with some random person who wanted to join on the spot without a team mate.

Well, I'm gonna be there regardless of if I have a partner or not. I figured there would be others who don't have partners to pair up with. If worst comes to worst, I'm content with watching the ensuing chaos and battles.

Unfortunately I want to participate... But I have no partner. I could easily make it at any time on saturday. So that said, anyone want to team up with me?

I would be willing to try and make it, that's also assuming that since its a 2v2 thing I can find a partner to go with. Torn between trying to play my CS bang or stick with tager like I always have if I do go...

Do you know when and if they'll have it up and running? Is it already up and running? meh, I guess I'll stop being lazy and call them up asking if its up and running. Edit: Just called them, they said they probably won't have it up until after winter break is over.

let me just confirm this... BBCS is at 8 on the break? correct? as in from the very moment you posted that they have it there to play?

Tsubaki isn't the only character man, and who says you have to switch, noel did get nerfed but not nearly as hard as the others. Now you'll know how I felt all through CT. Also if you do head down here I swear to god I would head down to CTF and meet you no matter what day or time.

It's not that I'm not prepared to face them, as a matter of fact if someone comes to challenge me I'm gonna lose if I'm hazama and then switch to tager to give them a run for their money (just today went in early to play the new blazblue, its not there, they said next week). I just want a few stages in arcade mode to actually get a feel for hazama, not just what happened when I tried out riesbyfe in MBAA which is start playing, some random person comes up, and I get raped. Only problem is if I switch to tager and win, I'll go through story mode or wait until I lose to switch back to hazama. I really want to try him out and get a feel for how he handles before actually playing someone. Yes I do know that it's not easy to do that since its usually trafficked heavily and will be even more so when CS is finally there. I mean I have no problem playing tager in the new game, I definitely want to. However what's the point in trying out the new game without trying out the new characters?

Thanks for the info, but like you I plan on heading in on the 13th. Hopefully none of the good players will be hovering around (I hope you aren't one of them) and not may other players so that I can at least get to mess around with the changes before being thrown into combat.

Just to clarify, does that mean they'll be getting it the 13th and won't have it up and running until the 14th or will they have it up and running on the 13th?

Achtzehn Character: Main: Subs: Location:Chatham, New Jersey Do you go to CF?: Yes, as often as I can, especially if a tournament is going on. Travel?: if you mean how I get there I take NJ transit into Penn Station, then NQRW from 34th and herald to Canal st. Other games played: Guilty Gear, MvC, MvC2, SF3s, MBAA, SFIV, and XMvSF. Random info: when I go there I usually hang around for at least 7 hours, so its really easy to catch me there.
