Lastblade

have timed out 100% of the time versus Hazama with rachel lol. Also, If hazama hits you with his ground super (not flip kick one) and you have poles on him, even after you get hit by his super, you have plenty of time to baden baden him for free.

after today, carl's jump B can wall bounce on fatal counter then be continued with whatever since they can't recover till they've landed on the ground, which the move bounces them all the way across the screen and they wind up back at where you are. Volante can be input inbetween the wall bounces and then relaunch with another J.B, J.C -> Volante hits, then allegreto. Theres probably more that can be done but of course people are rushing me the hell down so I'm only gathering a little info at a time. I'll try to work some more stuff out during the week.

its not a matter of LOOKING bad, I've been PLAYING CS rachel the past 2 days man.

These are still opinions but are based on last nights experience playing Continuum shift. Arakune: Hazama is looking like a bad matchup for him so far. Since he can get to you in a heartbeat and also keep himself away from you if he wants. Arakune needs to land several hits that would normally curse to fill that bar enough to initiate curse mode. Though once he gets it, it's not too bad for arakune. Carl: He has a lot more potential now with his damage increase and even though he doesn't have the clap loop anymore, his ground loops do a decent amount more damage and are fairly easy to trick your opponent into now. Sending the fireball at your opponent from offscreen can be an interesting pressure trick for not only you but getting ppl off you.

After playing rachel (and regrettibly deciding to go to maining carl instead) today in CS, unless theres some kind of powerful gameplay in the future, she isn't doing that well. She has a hard time dealing with agressive Ragna, Tsubaki, Jin, and Hazama that have quick reactions to an extent (even more so than in CT) and even though my zoning game isn't top of the line, it'll be an uphill battle regardless. the new tempest super is good and bad imo. quick enough start up to punish rushins and has full invincibility. And unless it was already noted, Tempest costs no wind to use.

after playing CS Carl, he's looking pretty good even without the clap loop. his ground loop remains intact and nirvana's (ada) gauge actually recovers extremely fast. her gauge was only dropping a little when she was hit and a general same amount during her moves, but activating her cost nothing. During the entire night, Nirvana didn't die once even with heavy use and my opponents pummeling her a bit. from almost empty to full, it took roughly 3 to 5 seconds to recharge completely. Also, the amount of damage hes doing and can take is a lot better. In regardes to Volante (214D) and the 6D attack during the ground combos, its not really all that great, sure it hits but then they can block immediately. Unless thats what you want. And throwing Volante from off screen is awsome, once nirvana has commited to throwing it you can either apply pressure or wait for your opponent to react to seeing it during their pressure and counter.

I thought i was the only one doing j.2c cross-up shinenigans anyhow ya, as others have pointed out, conserve the wind more. Try to always have a pumpkin/frog out, expecially if they're giving you the space to do it. If they're giving you that space, they should be rewarded with the rachel pumpkin/frog shinenigans. Anyhow, ya, wind... No wind+fighting kensou/kid viper at the arcade= squish

There's a first page? ...sorry, had to.

sent ya a PM pozer.

Also, I'm with faulty on the "arcade hiatus" thing involving PZ atm.

I only stayed until around 10:45pm. Got tired of dealing with people mashing the buttons nonstop and in result, ruining the D button 3 times that night.

See you there probably man. Beware the carl lol

lol, no homo. best matches I've had in some time. refer to first sentence

If you all are interested, the next blazblue tournament in houston (at pz if it matters to you all or not) is posted up. Pozerwolf: more arcana next time you come through? haven't had that kinda fun in awhile man.

Hey pozer, this is the advanced notice. Hope it helps let you plan for it or whatever. More arcana next time you come? haven't had that much fun in awhile.

Ya, good games you all. Was good to get to play some other people for once. I'll try to meet up with you guys again sometime.

Mind sending me the address and such in a PM or on myspace? (http://www.myspace.com/hibiki_lb02) Can probably make it tonight and maybe bring along my friend that plays too. Edit: Darren, give me a call or msg me on AIM if you want a ride.

Bout time >.>

Was rooting for Rachel all along but I was fine with how it turned out I suppose.

Maining Kuon

I'll probably go to that, if you need a ride darren/winchester, let me know. As for daemon bride, they said sometime in like...2 to 4 weeks. Sounds about usual right? Hows the game pozerwolf? As for BB sessions? Whenever I'm on my ps3 i'm down for games. Or just msg me on AIM. Lastly, msg my cell if you have it. If not, PM me and I'll let you know what it is

Anytime you want man. Just send me a fight request anytime you see me on, regardless of what game I'm playing at the time lol.

Up for any games this week darren? Blaz, gear, fate, or whatever. I'd rather not play on PSN, since its easy enough to just drive to your place man. Hit me up here or on my cell man. PS: arcana is officially dead to me. no reason to practice that game anymore. With kurum (or whatever he wants to be called, no offense or nothing intended man) gone and you (darren) not playing. Theres no challenge other than Austin, and it doesn't seem they're playing anymore either (They can correct me on that if they want to).
