Well hmm.. did any of the melty blood entrants have their own stick? You played it on console, right? Maybe there'll be two to go around, idk. I'm always down for mirrors, eventhough I say I hate them. Because I do hate them, but then I don't, I guess. lol, it's a weird feeling. If I were to practice on MBAC ver.b, would that help with MBAA? Or were there too many changes between the two?

Congrats, Render. I guess you didn't play Tushar, so you could kick his ass for me, but whatever. Yay! Best Carl! :] Did anyone record any vids? We should really get someone to do that regularly. I didn't play any of the other Carl's in the tourney! Hopefully next time, I'll be able to. Epic Carl mirror in casuals though, Id. I'll try and work on my matchup with Arakune for the next one. -_- I lol'd at Bang and Render yelling at me during my matches. EDIT- I've played literally a handful of melty blood matches, but I may enter in the next one. It just depends how early I'm down to get out there. I really like the game, it's just so weird/foreign to me. (I also don't have a PS2 compatible stick, and I don't want to play on controller.) eeeeek.

Give it time, in a couple months, our friendly Japanese mentors will come up with something for him.

I'm lost. Which ones? And I doubt it, but I'm going to try and see if anyone was recording the tourney matches from yesterday. I realized that while I was working on my Rachel matchup over the last month or so, I completely overlooked Arakune. If there is a vid, I will be posting it for advice. HFA's Kune made me need an adult.

GG's to everyone I played, as well. And @ Tushar:

If no one's bringing a PS3, I can bring mine, just let me know. I don't have all Astral Heats unlocked, though. XD (I've only played through Carl's stuff, so yeah.) EDIT- Also, I have an HDMI cable, which is probably important to know. If HDMI isn't an option, I have the oldschool SD cables, but those suck balls.

Source plz.

lol. Wait until the 3rd iteration. Carl's going to be S-tier.

See you guys later today!

I will also enjoy the broken Carl, all the way to EVO next year. But yeah, I think arakune was heavily nerfed, as well. So was Rachel. No more cancelling her j.2C into anything on block. Which helps me. Whatever. You play the game as the developers intend, or you don't play at all, I guess. The ultimate goal is 5-5 matchups across the board.

Oh wow.. I just thought it would have different hit properties, thus leaving the IAD-kara in the game. if it's different move completely.. EDIT- I was never big on GG. But wasn't Eddie like, S-Tier? Then they nerfed him rape style. Then re-buffed him in the next one?

That's terrible. Can it still be alle-can'd? EDIT- THIS: -Slow j.2C is kinda gay. No overhead = less possibilities. -No airthrow loop sucks, but it's broken, so that's expected. -Alle-can stays = good. -Easier to tech after 2C sucks, but 8D not techable sounds good. (I still don't quite understand, does that mean that if they are hit, they will hit the ground without being able to tech? Isn't that the case already? Lol @ me not knowing.) -214214D more damage is SUPER exciting. I will be utilizing this more and more. -I'm interested/excited in the projectile. Carl zoning FTW.

Well, whenever you're not grounded. I'm down to play. lol. I'll infinite you all day.

You do what all top Carl's do in a mirror. Carl---Nirvana-Nirvana---Carl. And you start mashing C and buffering 623]D[. But on a serious note, if he's rushing you, keep nirvana around to avoid the loop. If he's turtling, go after him, and worry about summoning when you need to. Also, tech the first throw of the loop, and summon quickly. (I've done this once or twice. I don't know if it's my opponent's clap error, or if this is a legitimate way to get out of this.) On relaunch, tech the 2nd and have nirvana eat the clap.

I hate any Haku C attacks. My problem with playing vs. Haku are w/ my ground loops and block strings being interrupted by random counters. You know that from experience. -_-

Lol. That sucks. Carl has to be right on someone. Haku should be able to grab from sweep distance in the air. lol. When does Haku ever want to be right up on someone?

Those are the throws I didn't tech. His j.b tick throws. Fuck those. lol, and thanks, I love getting an air throw. His animation is so fast, it's crazy.

Is that bad? I kind of do spam j.B+C. If it's possible to spam a throw. That's how he got me in the first game. I didn't tech a single throw.. But he was too predictable, so rather than doing it on reaction, which I knew wasn't going to work, I just psychic teched. lol yeah. I think that happens when my capture card drops a frame or two, just so that the audio can resync. I cringe everytime I see that in one of my recordings... I'm honestly at a loss on how to prevent that from happening.

I love the corner loop! And it's the only one easy enough to get almost 100% online.. -_- But definitely my favorite of Carl's loops. I never seem to be recording when I do something amazing. lol. But I figure regular play is the best way to be critiqued, not just your best vids.

He won the first match, then called me a fag. I didn't expect him to be an asshole, so I didn't save the first replay.

This guy made me kinda mad yesterday, calling me a faggot and such. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8vMpBHvMXE

Fixed that for you.

Ok well, I'll watch you guys play off in the corner alone, while I'm on the BB cab.

Well, I didn't think about it, but yes, there's you. Only one problem, we haven't even played yet! lol. Sucks that you won't be online for a couple weeks. To upload a replay, you have to be in the top 150 for you character on the leaderboards. Atleast that's what I think. I'm not sure.

I've always thought that was bullshit. Crossups impossible during CCCCCCCCC. EDIT- ok, not impossible.
