Even though it required RC, the first two combos do hurt for something that came from 6B starter and is midscreen.

With the loss of her hat, she had to take something off to pose for the cameras lol. I'm surprised at the lack of chamber shot in those videos. Maybe to keep momentum like usual. So now I'm guessing its only use is to make moves safe especially drive blockstrings. P.S. I'm going to bet chamber shot is going to be lulzy in the mirror match.

I want to see the hitbox on j.2C (does it hit behind her a bit, how far the shot portion extends, etc.). Maybe useful for anti anti-air since it suspends her in midair and you can do stuff while still dropping. Is there also a difference between standalone j.2C and RB>j.2C in terms of properties? No comment on 6A>2B as I never used it much to my chagrin. Still bothered by the shotgun being 236C. Would love to have it as 236A, but I'll get used to it. As for what it does, I feel it is really amazing in the safety department.

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

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

Drive follow ups also seem to have invulnerability? I can already here the whambulance.

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.

Might be able to go now thanks to a new schedule change. Lack transportation however.

Finally managed to find the vids from my last tourney and would like some feedback. Apologies for the stream format but it's all I could find. http://www.twitch.tv/xiei/b/317998703 00:35:00 vs. Rachel 01:29:00 face my true self 02:52:00 vs. Arakune 03:00:30 vs. Tao 03:29:00 vs. Platinum

2PM start time makes me a sad panda, but I'll try anyway to show up as early as possible.

In the rare case I do have a certain someone bring a copy of Extend over. PSN: Raptor3789 Location: SoCal Open to Requests: Yes

Sorry I couldnt show up even though I said I would, something came up at the last second. I'll try to make the next sessions though.

I think I can make it to this one now.

I'm a horrible Noel player since I can't use drive very well. I need to spam more D's.

If you are having 5C come out instead of 6C, relax and watch over your inputs. Since we are trained to micro-dash with 6C, chances are you are pressing C too soon so it would be like 44C6. You don't have to be fast to catch them, but not too slow either. Something that helped me is to have those inputs seperate, like instead 4,4,6C, you can do 4,4,6,C. To be specific it would be like 4,4,6(hold), C. If 6C hits but the second part whiffs due to your opponent being too close to the ground, a simple 236A can launch high enough for another 6C>(part 2). Edited: for clarification

I believe its hitbox oriented. Relius and Jin (I'm sure theres more just havent tested it yet), have a small falling hitbox horizontal wise so 22B would simply brush past them.

GG's to everyone yesterday. I really need to work on my hitconfirms.
