Grendy

Trust me, when you have a form of bursting named after you its not because its the best lol.

I did my lovely 4.5k CS1 Tsubaki combo in that video...plus it Grendy Burst free.

So how sad is it that I STILL watch and review old ass matches of me playing on YT. 4/5 of these vids are me eating dirt and the others are likely me getting lucky. However I still can't decide on my fav video, its either Blind Envy (Luna Vermillion v. TsuGrendy) or the rival series video where I have epic comeback of awesomeness vs the most obnoxious cocky Rachel that I constantly had challenge me in ranked.

Merry Christmas to the MI scene and the rest of DL that lurks/posts here. Been a great last year and I'm sure the next one will be better.

Should I start learning Hakumenz or Moo for CSX? Also in disgaea related news story line for D3 is complete going home after work to reincarnate and start cycle 2

I'll definitely get 4 when I'm done, was gonna grab both of um but they only had 3 so I'm sticking with it for now IMO this game blows 2 completely out of the water, fucking subpeona system was a headache and a half, the story is much more enjoyable as well

Yay finally got my ps3 + disgaea 3, this game is great been waiting to play it since it was released years ago. In other news scince I have a ps3 ill prbably be picking up AH3 sometime for shits n giggles, don't have a stick yet so don't expect much from me. I'll prolly end up with CSX for both consoles as well so I can finally netplay with everyone, ill be getting the 360 version first though cause of the stick issue.

Got my XBL account back today, they're refunding my money and they gave me 4000 points I gotta say Death Smiles 2X is fucking amazing, that game is the shit. Waiting for Bayonetta to finish dloading so I can wreck angels with my amazing hair suit of death ^.^

Stupid double post

Hey guys I was just wondering if there's any scene for BB/GG casuals/ranbats out here in STL. I looked through the srk page but didn't really see anything for GG/BB. I'm gonna be moving out to Wright City (bout an hour from STL) in july and then probably somewhere in the surrounding area once I get situated. I realize this is kind of looking way ahead but I'd love to have some people to play with when I move out there since toledo doesn't have a scene for anything but smash =/

From the MI thread

I get blocking when the 20% won't put you in curse and then countering the air attack. I was thinking more about when it does curse you since you mentioned blocking the 5D would still be better in that situation. Going for the air throw when they neutral/forward jump + barrier is something I will definetely have to work on adding into my gameplan though. I get my fair share of experience with Arakune from my offline scene so all of this information (no matter how big/small) is something that I like to have.

When going for a counter after blocking 5D couldn't Arakune jump cancel barrier gaurd to prevent the counter? This would require the player to know you were going for the counter but it also leaves you in curse which is a spot no ones wants to be in.

Ah ok, thanks for the info Fluck. Sorry for the incorrect post guys.

Since I didn't see it mentioned anywhere I figured I'd post it up althought its probably common knowledge. If you block arakunes overhead (6a?) And he goes into 5D you can hotenjin out for a fatal. On normal block it trades and allows for follow up, on IB I'm pretty sure it flat out wins, correct me if I'm wrong. This last bit will be purely speculation since I don't have a chance to try it (on break at work atm). I took a quick glance at frame data and if I'm doing this all the right way I think Hotenjin should always win after 6A. 6A leaves Arakune at neutral (+/-0), his quickest gatling is 2B which has 10f startup. With Hotenjin being 7f startup it should beat or trade with the 2B on regular block. Again I can't test this and its possible I looked at or read the frame data wrong but I guess putting it out here can't really hurt anything. If anyone can confirm/deny this I would be greatly apprieciative.

When baiting out Jins 2D what options do you use? Forward/Back Dash, air dash, all three? Most of the time I just block the 2D and try to react to the follow up because I don't know a reliable way to avoid it.

Just wanted to post up and say great work on the new match up threads guys. The setup looks nice and there's already lot of great information put up. Really looking forward to the rest of the matchups, maybe I can help a lil with the Valk one since its one I play pretty frequently. Anyways just wanted to say thanks guys keep it up.

I'd like an extended response to the question as well since most of my play time is spent in online lobbies. I can make it to ranbats and tournies every once in a while but on the whole I feel like the online experience in matchups is a whole lot different than what I end up playing when I can make it to offline events.

Thanks, I wasn't planning to use it though lol. I figure at the level of play we have in michigan i'd just end up getting CH on the 5k from someone mashing out. Apprieciate the reply.

Hey guys, was watching some match vids and I saw something wierd. Figured I'd ask here and see if anyone has an idea of what happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqKq-uK5stg&feature=feedu_more At 36:23 the Johnny player throws 2 coins, dashes in then does -something-, then goes into a 5k. What is that something? I thought it may have been a taunt canceled into 5k but Im just not sure? Probably isnt anything useful just kinda nagging at me since I saw him (or maybe it was the other White Johnny player earlier) do it once before. Thanks for any replys.

Can anyone tell me some good youtube uploaders to watch GG matches? Nico doesn't seem to play correctly on my phone (which is what I use most of the time). I've found Gamecho/Zero3japan for A-Cho and Goldenrody does a lot of Mikado. Are there any others for maybe Game Chariot or some other places out there? I've seen Jourdal has GC but most of his vids seem to be BB (maybe I need to scroll further down?) Thanks in advance.

Yay posting that already seems to have payed off then Now with the 214D~C I'm assuming it has to go FT/BT > d.3C > 214D~C, my problem here is that I can't seem to get the d.6C to turn around for the hit and I can't seem to charge long enough for 214D~C(2) to get them higher. Is it possible I'm just rushing the d.6C or can the 214D~C actually be charged to level 2 for the higher knock up?

Well since we don't have a combo thread I figured I'd post this up here to get some input on it. Corner combo, first d.6C puts Haz in the corner Forward/Back Throw > d.3C > 236236B > 214D~C > d.6C > d.5C(1) > 6C > d.5C > 2C > 6D~A > 4D~A > 623D > d.5C > 2C > j.Cx5 > j.214B Dmg: 4646 HG: 51 Seems like an ok way to spend 50 meter to me since it all coming back to you in the end. It also keeps the damage from mixup some what decent (lil more than 300 dmg difference from 6A starter). Dunno if this was already a common knowledge thing or not just thought I'd toss it out there.

Thread needs mooar shout outs...I should have done it here. Then again no one did shoutouts this week.

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around here for the last few months trying to figure out the awesomeness that is Johnny. I've looked through this thread multiple time and aside from enkasu combos I feel I've been getting a ppretty good grasp on his combos (this is said kinda loosely because I only get to play outside of training/cpu about twice a month when I can make it out to ranbats lol). Anyway lately I've been working more on MSJH and what can be done with it. I saw a post a few pages back talk about 2D MSJH 5K (JI) 5HS DBT~DB (FRC), I've been trying to get this to work but everytime I do it the DB always falls short (directly infront of the opponent). Now when I've been attempting in I've always started with 5K c.S 2D and I've been thinking maybe this is pushing me to far back but even trying it from just 2D seems to give me the same results. Is there a specific timing or distance needed for this combo to work? Also are there any other 2D MSJH combos that are worth going for or are they there more for flashiness effect? Not to sure if this threads checked up on anymore but if so thanks in advance for any replys.
