Man, ATG, I haven't seen you on GGPO in forever. I took a fairly long break myself, but playing Jojo's again has me inspired. I honestly like this game aside from its odd annoyances.

Does anybody still play this game/still are interested in it?

They sell it for like 30$'s on amazon.com Here: http://www.amazon.com/Jo-Jos-Bizarre-Adventure-Sega-Dreamcast/dp/B00004SB9O/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1304493619&sr=8-10 Brand' spankin' new son. Brand spankin' new. Also, circuitous, what is ur name on GGPO? I must see ur skillz in Jojo's.

Jojo's is the shiznits. Dio bnb is like the titties. I used to play this game all the time, then college started. Chasing the womens and grades became higher priorities than practicing dio's hard as shadizzle combos :-(. Also, anyone here play on ggpo. I will rape u. Edit: Also, this video is the reason I started playing this game. Glitches and mindrape!

With all these changes, is BBCS still gonna have LOTS of timeouts?

Yeah, cuz it's a tournament in JAPAN with JAPANESE players. Totally doesn't count because it would prove you wrong.

Avion892: These guys are right, but how they do it is overly difficult. All you have to do is the normal dive cancel into 5B, but instead press B and D at the same time. Instead of j.2A>5B do j.2A>5B/D and the 5D will always come out, ALWAYS.

For those of you who don't know what 4r5 is talking about, he is talking about fuzzyguard. Xenozip also wrote a little thing about it on his blog: http://xenozipnotes.blogspot.com/2010/04/fuzzy-guard.html Here is the video from Xenozip's example, so you can see what it looks like in actual play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC83KGp8ti0&feature=player_embedded

I'm on a trip somewhere and can't use the computor much. If you just put them in a list I'll make a section called: 100% Combos and copy and paste them there. Why? Because Arakune's 100% combos make him go from slightly underpowered to slightly overpowered?

smooshman, I have a feeling I know what you are trying to say. THIS is the kind of DP you want to do on wakup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG6jjYOf-aM&playnext_from=TL&videos=b2nruJcpMB4. I mean if Jin got a DP super like THAT, that costs 25 tension, man things between Jin and Litchi would totally even out. amirite!?

Thanks for the answers guys!

I was never talking anything other than fighters. I didn't exaggerate anything you said: You made the exaggerations yourself. Strategy is more important than reaction. I'll say it. To use strategy is to employ the use of things like: controlling space, mixups, meter management, setups and a hell of a lot more that applies to the use of different mechanics that exist within different fighting games. Strategy is what leads to higher levels of play. Yeah being able to react to stuff is important. But knowing how to react to what the opponent is doing and in what way is even more important. Knowing how to force the opponent to second guess himself and control how he reacts is also important and another part of strategy. Hell, if fighting games were entirely mindless reacting, the so called mindgames wouldn't even exist. Something like walk up>throw would NEVER even happen in fighting games because really the opponent would just hit the guy walking up to him out of reaction. Suggesting there is no strategy in fighting games is the same as saying that people don't think while playing, and that is just not true. Also, practice is important at getting good at all things in life. "If you don't play this game you're not going to get better" This statement is not retarded, it is true.

Is there any practical use for slashback?

I had a long post, but screw it. Sponson, I hope you enjoy staying in your lala land. Fighters aren't all about reaction, strategy and execution are also huge parts of fighters too. You may not believe that, but whatever *shrug*.
