back again with some Izayoi fanart this time. There are some things I can nitpick for the sake of character/stage accuracy but I've spent so much time on this I don't care anymore @_@. Enjoy! http://scrubbyink.tumblr.com/post/83162700108/izayoi-from-blazblue-finished-there-are-a-few http://fav.me/d7f1s4l

Greetings! I've been trying to pick up Kagura as a main and since my training partner is a Tager player, I've been trying to find some 720 safe setups in the corner. Unfortunately I've found that this setup works mainly with 6A/5B/2B/6B/3C/j.B/deep j.C as starters. If you try to do this setup with 1 or 2 5A/2A/j.A they'll end up teching too soon for the combo to finish. the most common route would be: (j.B/deep j.C)/(6A) > 5BB> 3C > 6DC > 1DC > 46B > 1C > 4C > slightly delayed 46B or delayed 46A (if you're afraid of Magnatech, use 46A) Generally this setup pushes kagura away from Tager's 720 range so that he doesn't get caught when waking up. This might need more testing, but even a delayed 46B should keep you safe from Magnatech Wheel as you recover. Usually this combo should take you out of magnetism by the time you get to the setup, but just in case if you are magnetized you will get caught if Tager decides to 720. If this is the case be sure to use a slightly delayed 46A for a meaty setup and faster recovery to jump/backdash for safe measures. I haven't messed around too much with the delay-tech anti-measures, but it's the same pretty much for any similar situation.. If only they made his 2C or 5C emergency tech or something for that hard knockdown : ( alternatively if you start with 5A/2A/j.A, simply omit the 4C and finish with a slightly delayed 46A so it doesn't combo. 5A/2A/j.A/ > 5BB> 3C > 6DC > 1DC > 46B > 1C > slightly delayed 46A. This will put you in range of his 720 regardless if you're magnetized or not, so jump away or backdash to get out of range. The delayed 46A should be meaty enough to help stop mashing, but there are always those situations where it just happens. If you're magnetized while doing this, jump/jump back and block. Feel free to mess around with it, the 1C > 4C pushes kagura in the same distance so you can test it out with other characters as well.

Another update, wanted to finish this before BBCP! Somewhat Higher Quality? DA Link Hype, descriptions, rants, etc. More Chronophantasma hype (TWO MORE DAYSSS!!) !! Kinda aimed for something like a recruitment poster with Kokonoe and Tager. This one took longer to finish than I expected (but still.. faster than taking 2 months on my previous works....) For this I went straight with painting and no line art. I kinda feel that I made the BG a bit too detailed for being in the distance and such, I wanted to blur it at the end to create a field of depth, but I didn't want to hide the work so I left it as it is. I think there are a few inconsistencies and errors (Tager might be... Too Gigantic? heh), but I've spent so much time already and I want to work on some more fan stuffs.

Sure, I wouldn't mind if you printed it. I usually do original stuff, but as of late I've been wanting to participate in cons to sell art. I'm trying to get my art out there so I'm starting out with some fan works. I think most of my stuff will be ASW related, but I'll see. As for commissions and stuff like that, I'm fine with doing stuff like that, but I generally work kinda slow (like.. 1 week to a month max on works like my previous..), so if you're completely fine with waiting I'm completely up to taking the request.. Hopefully I can hold back a bit on playing BBCP to work on some art haha. @Chaoschao222 @Lord Pwnge18 Thanks for the compliments , I really appreciate it! edit: sorry If I seem like I'm trying to hustle or anything on this thread lol. I don't intend to, but if any are interested, please continue through private messages. Thanks!

Made some fanart for Mu-12- in preparation for BBCP's console release! (The waiiittt is killing meeee) Check the link because the image is hugeeee. http://i.imgur.com/eP2htPz.jpg DA Link for Higher Quality (I hope???)

This is my 3rd year participating in BB @ Evo. I had a blast meeting and playing everyone. Being a local I don't have the opportunity to fight and meet such awesome players!! It was very nice meeting players like Xie, Nemesis, StayFree, brkrdave, Zeromus_X, LordPangTong (sorry if I get any of your names wrong), and all the other people I met! I'd especially like to thank those who ran, organized, streamed, managed, and etc. the tournament. Running that tournament in that hot and cramped place made me really respect your guys' work. If things are like that again, I'll be sure to prepare some refreshments to help you guys out!! Thank you again for the great time!

GGs to DJ_Daishi and a few other people who joined my room. Thanks for the games!

If it's not too late, could I sign up for the BB tourney? Thanks! Also, are there any people going to be in Vegas early by any chance? Being a Vegas local, a friend and I are holding a session for BB (we're ass at the other games sorry lol) on Weds (10th) at his apartment. Unfortunately, the apartment is kinda small so I can only get a few in before it becomes inconvenient to his roommates. Alternatively, if you're fine with playing at hotel rooms we can set something up. If you're interested, feel free to PM me.

Finding the right times to escape during blockstrings really threw me off a number of times. Felt like headbanging my table (not really lol) every time I got caught trying to chickenblock/jump out of pressure, really bad habit of mine. The times I managed to successfully block 236xD a few times surprised me since my defense is usually ass. Just from my experience from the matches we had, it felt heavily momentum based and it was a challenge of keeping your waifu alive while trying to kill the other one, which is probably obvious already haha. When the matches went down to the wire, whenever I was about fullscreen away you would do your best to keep me out with 214A/J6D/etc. which was a good tactic, but sometimes I felt that you would go overboard and use too much meter (just my opinion though). This gave me a much easier time to approach you and try to keep you grounded for a mixup. I managed to get lucky with a few voltedo/2141236C mis-inputs and other weird situations towards the end of the session, but even so it was still a fun and interesting experience to see the way another Relius player plays. Till next time!

GGs to Rukia13Shirayuki, SolequalBadguy, zking916 and a few others that dropped in the room (sorry if I forgot any names... typed this up while I'm playing). There were some really close matches in there. GGs especially to zking916, I don't really have much mirror match experience with relius but it was fun trying to block everything. I really respect those combos that you use with Relius, while I still use day 1 shit lol. Great matches, there were some really nail-biting situations throughout the whole session!

Might be a bit early, but anyone looking to play some games? A bit rusty so I'm looking forward to brushing up my fundamentals lol. I'll have a room open for anyone free to join.

Hello, just a fellow vegas local posting. I pretty much just play BB with a bit of GG (though not as of late). I'm pretty busy with concentrating on graduating this semester and trying to actually get a proper job in my career so it's hard for me to go to some meetups. Though from time to time I do netplay with a few vegas locals to help them learn/power up. Let me know if you're interested and I can make like a skype room or something. Screen Name: notenoughframes (Ji is ok) Name: Ji Location: North Vegas P4A Character(s): n/a BB Character(s): , , , learning & more characters but at a fraud level. GG Character(s): ,

Yup, saw some of that. As much as I wanted to play more I couldn't stand waiting through 5 people haha. I'll take note on the 3C. I think I kept going for the complex setups and end up fucking them up, gotta start with the simple first lol. As for 2C I really need to change that habit, I've never really used 2C for anti-airs for other characters but for some reason I keep using it with mu.

Not to use this as an excuse or anything but, it's only been about a month since I've picked her up in anticipation for CP. I've only played local friends so whenever I play someone new I just choke and everything just goes down hill. I really should just not give a fuck and do whatever haha. Zoning is a new territory to me and through the matches we had I would do alright (in my opinion lol) if I mixed it up and try to go in rather than completely devoting myself to zoning. I really want to spend a day just watching her archives and study her neutral and matchups but most of the youtube videos got nuked (time to get niconico). As silly as it sounds I love the whole cast of BB and with the new game coming (eventually...) I want to try and explore different styles to see if I am missing out on any other play styles. While it's certainly great for me to try out new characters I'm definitely going to get bodied by character specialists, that's a given. Bang has been my best so far and I've been liking Mu's oki game. Thanks to you both for the tips. I'm having fun lol. I wouldn't have taken those beatdowns if I wasn't. It was a great learning experience. Hopefully I can get some more time to play you guys.

Thanks for the games Dreiko and Swagna. Trying to find a playstyle I'm best with is tough : <

Some fanart I just finished..For the first one, I had the line art done a few months back but I never had the time to complete this. I took the opportunity to color this for my Digital Illustration class to create a concept cover for a magazine (Arcadia). There are a few inconsistencies to the designs (Nu's sword in the 2nd/Lambda's breasts being a bit bigger than usual? Sorry Mori, it's not Noel) since I mostly used sprites as reference. Enjoy!

Not sure if this was posted, but looking at the schedule below the TGS Ustream page, 4gamer will be streaming several titles on their stream. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tgs-4gamerlive It'll cast around 12:30 PM PST or so.

This is my 2nd EVO despite being a Vegas local and I enjoyed it a lot. Despite our scene being rather free and small, watching and playing in the 3v3 was a great experience. I've only met/spoke with a few people a evo (dacid, LK, copperdabbit, render, linear, and tubazo) from the community but thanks for the great times and congratulations to all the people in pools.

Ok, I'm heading there with HFA. We'll be at CCSN at 10am to wait for others who don't know that we're meeting up at GO.

If everything is cool with the people at GO then, I can go with my friend to go set up. Though, I'll need a time when people will head over there. I don't know the staff that well so it'll be really rude of me to just go up and set up things there lol.

Yeah.. I don't mind setting up in another place. GO sounds like a nice place to set up but, isnt there a Tekken 6 BR Tourney tomorrow?

Sorry for the bump... Got some info/news to update with. We were given 1 table for the setups.. So we'll probably only have space for only 2 Setups. Also a number of 40 people maximum is allowed in the room due to fire regulations. My friend told me the places gets pretty stuffed and he has to kick out people (which he does not want) and there's also the rules of the cafe/library to comply with.. Things will be kinda tricky to deal with if we do decide to set up things up there... Could it be possible to have a setup somewhere else??

This is Ji , the Jin guy at last weeks tourney. They didn't exactly say where we can set up our stuff. But I can always ask my friend, he works as security/butler there. I'm sure its all in one room. I'll update once I have his answer.
