Will air double fangs (if it works like the A version) cause hard knockdown and to what extent does the move remain active? If recovery frames end while we're still airborne that would be nice.

20% chance I'll make this one

Except Tekken X Street Fighter is an actual game for better or worse.

Only 2 and a half hours? Thats worrisome.

Oh yea forgot to sign up for this. Signing up for BB and GG.

Welcome. To start off, you did very well blocking the projectiles and approaching slowly. When it comes to longer ranges, try using Optic Barrel to prevent her from lobbing lobelias and summoning stuff, if it knocks down then go hog wild. One thing about Rachel is that outside of Cat chair and proper use of wind, she has below average defensive options, so what you want to do is to stay within offensive range. I noticed you like to do 6B after a few pokes from 2A. Try not to do that too often because if read, you will lose your offensive advantage. Remember you have other normals you can use and they are arguably better than Rachel's. 2A alone gives her nightmares.

Will there still be casuals for BB before Sunday. Not sure if I can stay for the side tourney since I fly out of Chicago pretty early.

Playing for 2 days now without online experience and I'm still having trouble adapting to the system itself. Cant break 33% yet with my main, GL.

Oh you're on dustloop now too. I read "On Strange Wings" a year ago and enjoyed it from start to finish. The people were in character, the fight scenes resembled actual in-game matchups, and most of all the pairing was believable. Question: Has Evilbaki proven a challenge to write for your future projects?

Is there any trick to using her trap oki upon knockdown? Everytime I try blahblah>sweep>A Double Fang>stance cancel>C trap I always either get thrown out before the trap even explodes or its too short and my opponent gets away. I am setting the trap as fast as I can while microdashing for the C trap to be in range. This is causing me to lose alot of momentum in my matches and I sorely need it.

Ugh I shouldve saved those replays for further analysis. Btw I'm down for another FT10 somewhere next weekend if thats fine.

I would love to get in on this, however I still need to figure out my own schedule for the coming days. Date TBA for now?

Youll miss your chance for a Noel-free tournament.

I wouldve gone if I wasnt sick.

01-26-13.......Wahahahaha......that im pretty sure I cant show up

http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?15519-Arcade-Relief-12-15-12-P4-GG-BB-HNK-MB Show up to this if you can.

I'm down for it.

Throw me in for backup plz. For Dustloop. PSN: Raptor3789 (Naoto)

Hmmm I'll try to see if I can make this.

I would expect at least 1 new character to have importance in each scenario. Take for example the above: S7 = Bullet (has ties to them) Free Lancers = Amane (travelling circus man is all we know) NOL = Azrael (yes he has ties to S7 also, but to me he seems easy to sway as long as he gets to satiate his thirst for combat. Hazama could make use of that.)

I wanted Noel to be become stronger, but not like this. Why do I have this feeling she'll be super reliant on Mu's power? If she has to transform into a Murakumo just to save Tsubaki, I'm guessing her skills as regular Noel won't even put a dent on the opponent in future battles.

A Certain Prehistoric Raptor I hope this show doesn't get cancelled if I'm late.

Shoutouts to Xie and others who made this tournament possible " to Redblack (Gato) and DragonLordZ for teaming up with me. We did good imo. " to AJ for being a cool guy irl, and giving me and Redblack a place to stay. " to Chou for showing us how Japan plays this game " to Stayfree for missing his astral, allowing me to astral him afterwards. " to having a very late dinner at Denny's with the SoCal crew. " fo me, Redblack and AJ having our own table at the Wynn buffet event thanks to fire safety issues. It's ok, we sail our own ship from SoCal and PNW. Much love though " to everyone that I have fought and talked to throughout the event. I always consider these things social gatherings first, tournaments second. I finally got to play against alot of people from DL that I had wanted to fight for quite some time. Because of you guys I now have a grasp at where my own skill level lies with the rest of the community and let me tell you, I could use alot of improvement. Till the next event, everyone.

Just got a text from Nathan. He states that GG and BB will be on Sunday. Not sure on the other games though.
