He needs to place more faith in the move that's actually a reversal, or the nail rain, that's guaranteed exe.

Evo is fucking trash man. People spend hundreds of dollars for this damn tourney, just to get their shit cut off. I hope that staff member gets jumped and robbed.

Yeah~ Forget these scrubs and only provide links to people you know appreciate you with patience and company. Like me.

Anything going down this weekend? Haven't heard from Dave since.....a while now...

Oh yeah, forgot Josh was PSN. That's 3 active PS3 users then.

Losing streak? Get better or deal with the bad match up.

Faster, looks a bit easier, not fully character specific, those would be my guesses.

I see. Nickname: Skye Location: Detroit Availability: Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Transportation means: Would supply you gas money * ^ * GT/PSN: Skye kun GDT: As far as you're willing to go, being a grateful passenger, I can't bitch. That sounds nice. If I can find a place, I can see what's up and possibly add it to the map. There's a rec center not too far from my house, I can see if I can get something going. It is. The most convenient option is finding a place in Detroit, almost everyone has a car and Detroit is a center point so that no one really has to travel that far out, and since Axis and I have no guaranteed transportation, it'll be excellent if our meet ups are in walking or bus distance.

Trust me, I'm looking for a place. I don't understand this comment.

Well, don't quite know if a set console will be standard. As far as we know from our PoHu meet up, Xbox seems to be dominant in MI (including on a technicality, Troy and Grendy who are actually in Ohio). In fact you're the only other active person (besides BO) who uses PS3. But yo if you're using stick, I don't mind lending mine for your matches if you're stuck with an Xbox. BO on the other hand who uses controllers, uh..... We'll have to work that out.

lol Cross tags don't work here.

What's that supposed to mean!?

I was personally thinking September, this way we all have adequate time to learn the game and it's a nice time to kick off the season. If no one objects, we can go with 3 month bi weeklies per season. As for where, we can organize that later. We have our options, Troy don't mind hosting, There's a Community Center in Flint that BO's trying to hook us up with, and I think Dave wouldn't mind his place either, we did do a mini 3 on 3 there. If things get too crowded, we can get an extra set up downstairs if it's okay with him and Cyrus. We'll need his confirmation though. I'm also looking into places.

I was making suggestions, no need to theory fight to save yourself.

It's an option in the match up, and you can believe that Rachel players will do it if they think they can, which is why Arakune can leave a small hole, because people are defenseless during jump start up. That's all I was saying. :\

Well, I'm sure who ever wins the ranbats will have no problem supplying our drivers with some gas money, assuming the winner isn't a driver.

Yeah that's why you see players jump out all the time. That's why you see Ragnas ID when cursed. That's why you see other characters and player, yourself included, actually gain a small bit of momentum while cursed. Cuz the lock down is so air tight.

Don't believe in frame traps?

We need more American pioneers. That's mostly right from what I've seen in match ups. But I'd say that cursing Rachel is harder than most and Arakune's 10500 doesn't digest Rachel's 1.9-2k combos, Arakune does less damage to her and she has more HP. When Rachel is cursed she can win herself out in the smallest hole and stall for a good 10 seconds, this basically makes Arakune use specific set ups as to only make a hole big enough to catch her not blocking.

Well, we can talk about rules, but generally matches run 2/3 rounds or 3/5 rounds, being 2/3 matches, 3/5 for grand finals. Stalling for time out should be enabled, unless you're playing Smash. lol I don't mind, my character's good at that sort of thing.

6-9 people. Hm... *counts* So that's 17-18 people at max, damn that's good. Lemme break down ranbats. There is an entry fee, 5$, 4 goes in the top 3 rewards, and 1$ goes in the pot. This goes on for a season, and there is a point system in place. At the end of the tournament, the top 8 are given points with first place getting 8 points and 8th place getting one point (this will be the main source of our power rankings too), the points carry for the duration of the season. Explain to me the specifics of the point system Quite frankly, the top 8 are given points. 1st - 8 points 2nd - 7 points 3rd - 6 points 4th - 5 points 5th - 4 points 6th - 3 points 7th - 2 points 8th - 1 point These carry over for the entire season, so lets say on our first the rankings go like this~ 1st - Axis- 8 2nd - Dave- 7 3rd - Troy- 6 4th - Skye- 5 5th - BO- 4 6th - Cyrus- 3 7th - Random player- 2 8th - Grendy- 1 (lol <3 you bro no homo) And perhaps at the end of the next tourney, everyone ranks differently. So~ 1st - Skye- 13 2nd - Troy- 14 3rd - Axis- 14 4th - Grendy- 6 5th - BO- 8 6th - Random player- 5 7th - Cyrus- 5 8th - Dave- 8 (lol <3 you bro no homo) Points based on our rankings last tourney, are added to our rankings this tourney, so as of 2 tourneys in our season, the power rankings would look like this.~ #1 Axis #2 Troy (tied for first technically, but 2nd only through alphabetical sort) #3 Skye #4 BO #5 Dave (tied for 4th technically, but 5th only through alphabetical sort) #6 Grendy #7 Cyrus #8 Random guy (tied technically but yadda yadda) It may not look like this since power rankings usually only list the top 5, giving honorable mention to the other 3 ranking people. But this is basically how it works, after the season is over, we start anew with 0 points for each player. What is a season? It's the time period in which the ranbat takes place, the TO set the time for the season. If it were up to me, I'd say 3 months of bi weeklies is good What is the top 3 rewards specifically? It's the cash that goes to the top 3 ranking people in the tournament. First place wins 70% of the total amount. Second place wins 20% of the total amount. Third place wins 10% of the total amount. What is the pot? The pot is the royalties that goes to the winner of the season, i.e. the one with the most points. The pot is the accumulative amount of what was put in throughout the season, so for example if there was 18 of us, who each entered the entire season (3 month bi weekly), we all pay 5 dollars each entry,so that's 90 bucks put in the tournament, 18 of those bucks go in the pot. Since we meet up 6 times throughout the season, so that's 104 dollars stock up, during the finals of the season, the winner gets that cash. This is basically how it works given from the people I talked to about this. In general this is how ranbats are done nationwide. If there are any questions, I'll try to answer them.

Sounds good.
