Yeah I was, thanks. I was so Fucking nervous. I was kicking myself for dropping that last bang install combo. It is what it is, though. Coopa's no slouch. Shout outs to huey. You seem like a cool dude. It was nice putting a face to the name. Pretty classy guy. JasonD, stay godlike; Easily one of the nicest players out there. And finally zong/ copperdabbit, still as good as ever. Ps never drink absinth in vegas

As am I

ooooooooh yeeeeeah girl

I actually want to make it out to one of these ranbats next time I'm in norcal

Some people just don't get it. It's why I gave up on the internet.

Late gg's everybody! I want to play your noel this friday, rawoöôõl. You did pretty awesome as well luke!

Easy thing to get confused. I've seen some women who look like they deep fried their hurr The sadlife that is hood livin

I could really go for some heart attack grill. Triple bypass anyone?

I'm going to play you for sure. I haven't fought an arakune since scr

I would like to play you when you get here.

No problemo~ I'll show you how to do it. It's not as weird as it sounds. Plus, it's too useful to not learn!

So, after the gaming night at Rubens on friday I realized that a lot of us aren't sure of certain option selects or techniques you can take advantage of to try to maintain or escape pressure. So, here I present to you, kind folk of Arizona.. the little bit of info I do know The barrier block // throw tech OS still exists. However, if you do it and they do not throw you (meaning you don't break anything) you are vulnerable to a throw reject miss afterwards. IAD - When IAD'ing, try to whiff a fast normal like a jab as soon as your dash starts. This cancels your dash, allowing you to block midway, cancel into any other air normal (this will also auto correct the air normal if you cross the opponent up) and do special moves as per usual. Cancelling the air dash this way also allows your character to float in the air longer. When trying to escape pressure but scared of random air throws, jump nuetral and do the barrier block OS. You'll either tech a throw or barrier block. Allowing you to try a quick escape with a air dash backwards or double jump. -NOTE- This is not an answer to every situation, just when you're afraid of being air thrown. Doing this too much can get you punished hard when read correctly. The best way to escape pressure and avoid mixup (other than blocking the correct way, SCRUB!) is a technique called chicken blocking. Basically, hold up back and barrier as soon as you leave the ground. This is only viable for characters with very fast jumps (look up your characters jump start up in the frame data section). Chicken blocking allows you to skip high/low mixup and the barrier avoids air unblockables along with extra pushback. Due be sure that you don't wear down your barrier too much with this technique. This also kills most reversal potential you could have had utilizing IB. Some OS are more character specific, but one that worked in CS1 very well that may/may not work in CS2 due the the extra start up frames.... Hazama's hotenjin OS. Basically, in CS1, Hazama, when attempting oki, would input 214214B on wake up. This resulted in a 5b on nuetral tech (which is +2 on block) and a hotenjin if the opponent attempted to roll through. The 5B will also pick up roll back attempts if timed correctly. Try applying this to some of your own specials to see if you can net big damage off people who have a habit of roll teching. Learning the meaty timing is extremely important and arguably the hardest part of this OS. Another technique for landing raw reversals or supers involves instant blocking. Since the previous OS involved Hazama, we'll use him again for an example. A good way to reversal hotenjin through block strings is using a half circle forward motion. Since you need to hit back to IB and Hazama's super is 236236. You can combine both by doing 4123641236. This will make sure your hotenjin comes out as soon as possible after creating an opening with an instant block. Try using the same technique for your characters reversals. DP = 641236. Litchis might also want to experiment with her DP in the same fashion as Hazama's hotenjin OS. That way you can possibly DP any roll throughs and apply pressure after the staff has been set. On one last note, explore your character's possibilities for altering air dash trajectories. ex: litchi / carl throw whiffs; bang nail glides. I'll update this as I remember more.

Gud gaems guyz Option selects are the future

When do we head oveeeeeeeeer

Today is going to be fun. I'm excited to play some good games. I've been practicing all week and my bang install is finally back up to par with the 4c loops

Tomorrow, I'm taking you guys down to brown town. Bangin on all y'all. Throwin down fisticuffs. I'm bored. It's 6am Oh and for drama purposes...... Cali is free Except for zong. He's a gentleman. And dabbit .. he actually knows how to play kune. and render, who is cool. Bang camero however is super free. I learned a bang install j4c loop that does 6k. I'm running out of stuff to ramble on about. Footsies and sexy combos. Hummus.
