You mean Errol.

Christ. That's worse than the Capcom VS SNK2 color edits you'd see on XBL back in the day.

The Dustloop wiki says "If you are stuck in blockstun for over 6 seconds straight (meaning there's not even a 1 frame hole in the opponent's attacks for 6 seconds), you automatically begin instant-blocking all attacks and the words "Guard Bonus" will appear on the side of the screen." Is it wrong?

One of my best friends is a world class violinist. He said something interesting about performing on stage that I think also applies to the tourney nerves. If you get up there and don't get nervous, it means you don't care about it anymore.

That's why people wear headphones.

I'm down with that. You guys will have to post the challenge mode stuff though because I probably won't get the JP version. (Or maybe someone will make a video.)

I'll make it. Not sure what combos to put in yet though. And of course the format for Haku combo threads is always a question.

In EX? Selecting old BGM was DLC before. And old stages.

Bang never had a bad matchup against Hakumen. Command grab and mobility 2 good. I don't really care what everyone's placing them at this point, it's just interesting that there is such a discrepancy. But it'll clear up once the game is released to console.

Hakumen at A tier and D tier. What a difference of opinion. The others are closer together. Kagura being A makes the noise we heard about him being S make a little more sense.

Your location says Michigan. There's a scene there. Are you super far from it?

I noticed after a Gurren he never ended it in a 3C to get knockdown. He just would hop over and try to 2A after they standing teched. Maybe you can't link 3C into it anymore.

I didn't know you played Hazama.

More like lucky Hakumen after the beating he was getting before that. :P

Stop shitposting. Infractions given.

its literally just SMP is bad and just because sometimes its involved in something good doesnt mean SMP itself is good like just because you use a shitty move in a combo doesnt mean its not a shitty move

What C0R said. But I was just talking about the idea of a "meta" as a general concept.

Close. Meta refers to the game environment and what kinds of strategies it contains. It doesn't have to be advanced techniques by definition, but it usually is because the competitive field strives for it. In MTG it is knowing what decks people are playing and the counters to them. In FGs it can include what characters are strong, and thus what characters will be in tournaments; what kind of setups are in use currently, etc. So when someone says "you have to learn the meta" they mean knowing to prepare for characters like Kokonoe in 1.0 so you don't get facerolled because you expected all Amane mirrors. Just a small nitpick.

Just let it go Black Yakuza. SKD will probably say something on his own soon enough. If not then there's no point in going in circles over it. Everybody just wait for SKD.

Guys just FYI. If you're going to quote a gigantic post, either snip out most of it or just leave the quote out altogether and just write @COR or whoever so it doesn't take up half a page of scrolling.

Well, obviously you would want details so you can actually understand why. But I was saying it more as the mindset you should bring to the discussion.

Regardless, SKD played Dora and so he knows the best of the Bang mixups. He would have the best frame of reference to compare it to Jin. Instead of saying he is wrong, you should be trying to figure out why he thinks it is worse than Jin's mixup, or asking him to explain what's wrong with your reasoning. (That doesn't mean everyone can just come in here and act like a bunch of shit flinging apes two years out of high school over a moveset in a video game like last time. That was a disgrace.)

Wait what. I only just realized SKD wrote TWO huge posts. No wonder I thought it suddenly got smaller. Anyway, I think this is a good discussion to have, because you still have people who think getting hit by any reactable move is inexcusable and just a matter of execution, like blocking it should be a foregone conclusion. Reminds me of how Star Demon would flail himself over it. In fact SKD, why not make this an article?

SKD, good post. But don't insult people. Writing on throw teching would be interesting because whenever I throw people online or offline they're like "wtf I should be able to tech that on reaction, how did I get thrown 17 times girgherigheijg"
