Codename Exia

Bump. Hope to see ya'll this weekend!

General footsies are the same, but are heavily influenced by increased movement and air options.

Almost everyone falls into patterns as they start to feel comfortable playing any fighting game; of course, this isn't good. The trick to recognizing and remedying patterns is two simple questions in anime games: Did I even get punished for being predictable and repeating my pattern?How did my opponent adapt to my pattern?If you weren't even punished for it: just keep going, being predictable isn't always bad if your opponent can't deal with it. If your opponent adapted and took away your momentum for being predictable take note of the situation and what they did to stop you. Do you have an answer? If no, find an answer to the option, if yes, switch gears into beating the option your opponent has put on the table. I mean it's a little more complicated than that, and yomi definitely plays a part in these things, but that's the basic of the basics.

I won't lie, P4 as a tournament is unlikely. I'll see if some people would be down for BB.

Might not exactly be able to pick up any mentors around here, but there's some knowledgeable people around these parts. If you've got specific questions about matchups, theory, or even want match footage critiqued you can definitely hit up those threads though.

UNIEL is one of the main games, it's just unfortunately not part of the graphic. Also GG's to those that came out to Ignite tonight. I got absolutely scraped by Nives LOL.

There may be enough space to run CPEX as currently Tekken Tag 2 is the only confirmed side-tournament. That being said; it would be up to some of the other community members to run it if enough people decide to show up for it. Nobodyexe, Woocash, and a few others actively play it so it definitely could happen.

What's good Dustloop, We're having a tournament coming up in Chicago pretty soon; Guilty Gear and UNIEL are part of the main line-up. If you're in the Chicagoland area: or just the midwest in general you should check it out!

https://www.facebook.com/events/694735124004375/ Yo check out this Guilty Gear event at Ignite on August 15th!

PS3 is pretty much the staple for the anime community at the moment.

Just a side note: some people might find it easier to just 2-button-dash to get the 3B for the safe-jump instead since sometimes 663B is awkward at times; it helped me quite a bit.

A lot of the answer to anti-airing Sol is either really, get out and don't even challenge, or be a man and DP. 6P is unreliable at times with his j.HS being very very good, and 2HS is great but needs to be insanely preemptive.

Shouldn't matter so much that she needs stocks because she seems to be much more effective with them than she is currently along with possible meterless midscreen mode-changes. It'll be easier to deal with not having stars and keeping the count up in general.

For relaunch I usually go sj.BAC > 5A > 5C > 623C > sj.B > j.C > j.236C I'm netting 6 stars with 3.4k off a 5B. I dunno if that's optimized either, I just saw it in some combo video.

GG's to everyone today. Sorry for any connection spikes, etc. I need to work on Gain Art a lot more.

I'm mad that I get hit by that 26 frame PoS too. Believe me.

A good tip is to start auto-pilot blocking high during Noel's drive mix-up. Her low is much slower than the high. I'm almost positive you're able to up-back out of the high-low drive mix-up too.

Optimal range for this match like people have been saying is full-screen to keep his stinger reactable. Assault him with Sonic Sabers and 236C/623B his approaches accordingly. When you're sitting on stars feel free to go into Gain Art. Personally I don't feel like going in is worth it. Play your fireball game, but use the follow-ups from your specials to punish him harder for approaching badly.

GG's to everyone I played today. Btw, if I seem to be playing dirty/abusing netplay tactics... that's just how I play offline. I'm pretty nutty.

Yes it should. Arcsys has a spotty track-record with character balance.

Yeah it's not too bad because there's a good amount of opportunities in this MU to 6A him out usually.

Phorizer? Yeah no bad idea. He can Carnage Scissors it too. It's fine though because Ragna is one of the easier character to zone and block.

The only thing that should irk anyone playing online: wi-fi.

Try having them play CT and do the old air combo. 5B > 5C > 5D > 66 > 6A > John Madden

Ragna has to be S tier with Jin not being too far behind; their buttons range from very good to decent with the easiest combos on the planet.
