Can I expect anyone at Lovegety tonight?

I'd really appreciate that, thank you. And sorry, I don't have a PS2 stick, but Kellfire was looking to sell one of his if I remember correctly.

My buddy was supposed to lend me his PS3 TE for T11, but it's not certain that he'll be able to anymore. Could anyone help me out? I have a 360 TE that I could trade for the day, if anyone needs it for SSF4 teams or whatever.

What time will those stations be set up by? A couple hours before the scheduled tournament start time?

Hermes, when are you going for secret training? I need some last minute match up experience. :razz: I have respect for the new players who are going to T11 even if they're not confident in their skills. Trust me, it's going to be a worthwhile experience for you, you'll level up a lot. My first BB tournament was at T10 where I placed 13th haha, I got mauled, but it motivated me to train and get better. And even if you get eliminated early on, stay for the casuals!

I'll be there Wednesday night for sure, see you then?

I'm just going to subway that shit, it's really not bad.

First page post, woooo. :razz: Someone suggested that Lovegety's address be put in the first post of this thread, so if you could just edit that in there Russell that'd be awesome.

Do we need to pre-reg in this thread or no? Glad to see we've got Americans coming up, I don't remember seeing any out-of-towners at T10 but I could be wrong.

The tick throw set up at 5:55 really impressed me. I had no idea it was coming, he didn't telegraph it, and it looked to be frame perfect too. If I could make my tick throws that seamless, I'd be unstoppable. So stylish.

If she uses that shit in strings, react and A-Buster it. If she throws it out in footsies, react and CH it with 5B. Then from there go into 2C if you're close, or go for the reset with 6B. Chances are good she'll keep blocking low if you counter hit her with a low.

There's nothing more satisfying than a perfect back dash > 720 or instant block > 720. It's just that snapping sound the 720 makes when it connects, but without the whooshing of the magnetic pull, that's what makes it so good. Parrying and low and hitting that shit with a 720 with Hugo is also amazing.

7 straight minutes of spacing and cautious poking action! :lol: I distinctly remember going through a super jump happy rushdown oriented phase in Tager mirrors back in the day, but yeah, it really doesn't work. I will tag 100% of jumps with 2C without question in this match up; as anyone who plays me knows, I have an itchy 2C trigger finger.

Yeah, I wanted to know how to punish his flash kick either before it comes out or after I block it. I know 720 beats Hotenjin and 360+A will cause Hazama to pass right through you, allowing you to 360+B his recovery. 5C is my only punish option on block? I don't think it even gives you CH. Weak. 5As will trade with flash kick but that isn't helpful.

Hopeful bump?

Definitely drop CT; as was mentioned, it's an awful game. On top of that, it made a very poor impression at EVO on the fighting game community at large. I feel like BB:CS could sway a lot of opinions, seeing as it's more balanced and just a better game overall. Continuing to promote CT will only serve to damage the BB community's reputation.

I'm in for BB.

I feel like if you have a good grasp of character specific combos, it makes all match ups a lot easier. For example, don't forget that 360+A > Gadget Finger works on Bang unmagnetized. This is extremely useful. As well, Atomic Collider, whiff j.C, j.B, 5C xx Atomic Collider, etc. works on Bang. Probably the easiest character to perform these combos on actually. If he likes doing jump drives in your face, hit him with 5C, 4D. The 4D will CH him. I don't play too many Bangs, so I can't offer any more advice than that.

Is it possible to stuff his DP? I heard it has poor invincibility. If not, what can I do to punish after I block it?

Match videos of me, also from Lovegety, also only me winning. :razz: I do lose to this Tsubaki, and his mix ups are sick, but watching him slowly kill me with at least a dozen 1700 damage combos doesn't make for an entertaining match. I also lose a lot to our Arakune player. I wish I could have more impressive videos to show you guys, maybe after the next tourney. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-bTNEAREB4 ^ First round is a good example of how dangerous Gadget Finger can really be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P51gdgTzPEI ^ 7 minute Tager mirror. :rofl: What an awful, awful match up. I drop a lot of combos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pswOUnvPUA ^ I like my failed Astral Heat attempt at the end.

Sipping on some extra salty haterade with this post :lol:

Oh shit, thanks for the link Leo, it looks like Mike Z has known about that combo for ages already. I wouldn't doubt that Galileo took it from Mike Z too, Mike Z discovered so many combos since release. I find myself getting more CHs with the Sledge follow up, but if they IB the Sledge and you continue with the follow up, you're eating something big.

This is how local Tsubakis beat me, it's just the way you play the match up. If you aren't prepared to do that, either pick a new character or don't play at all.
