You need to accept that your sister's behavior has consequences. If she acts like a douche then it's perfectly acceptable that people will criticize her. She got banned for a reason. If you don't want to feel insulted then tell her to get her act together.

The same reason it's harder to do anything in a match than it is in training.

are we talking about the same player here

Turntablist... didn't he play Nu in CT.

You could do similar things with Hotaru and any clash into a counter. I used to do it all the time against Tagers using MTW. As long as you hit guard point or clash, you can do stuff. You just don't normally expect it, but it happens all the time against MTW.

> no K Everything I know is a lie.

You guys are killing my sides. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Part of how I play is the long term; I don't try to focus on winning a single match in particular, but figuring somebody out so they never win again, period. Against Blacktricity I was spending a lot of the set just seeing how he did things. Anyone can win a few matches; real satisfaction is when the other player is so mindfucked that they don't even have hope of winning anymore. When you already have the counter to their next move ready, before they even know themselves that they want it. To be able to condition the other player so that manipulating them is almost an extension of your own character and inputs. If anything Nemesis is the one who should get also recognized for his adaptability. The last two times we played, I dominated the first time, but then he came back and utterly obliterated me the second time. I was at a total loss. That's what I like about our matches though; there's always another level to climb and another round of counter strategies to exchange. Right now I feel like it's more the changes to Hakumen in CP that are giving the extra nudge in Nemesis' favor, since a lot of the tools and strategies I had mastered in the past to defuse his own got nuked. It was easy to forget, because against most players it doesn't even really come up with my normal tactics working. Not last time though. Suddenly I remembered that there were actual changes that I had not accounted for. So now I have to rebuild from scratch. But I'll do it. So Bolt thinks it's not impossible huh. I guess I have something to fix next time.

GGs Blacktricity. That was our first set ever, after all this time.

He's not really bad anymore. It's just fun to reminisce.

Damn. Hakumen System Voice would have been interesting.

Election for what?

i was trying to start something ok is only nemesis allowed to get threads locked god ill just go spam errols twitter with doge pics instead

he means being able to spam unreactable 50/50s on netplay makes rachel bad

that sounds like a lagging disaster tbh

Overthinking during the match.

Same. When it's laggy, nothing I want works anyway; I'm not actually playing the game. I might as well be playing with my eyes closed. Why torture myself?

You should just back out if the player looks like they're going to be laggy. No games is better than bad games.

Maybe the old CS2 combo would work. Renka (1) Kishuu 2C Hotaru IAD etc

looooooooool, this happens every time. I knew I just had to be patient. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Seriously though I'll still have to change around a lot because 3C won't work and counters got hit again. A lot of our hit confirms will be gone too which hurts more than combo loss. That actually affects neutral, not just damage. Although damage affects neutral too. This match: I'm shocked how little damage Tao is doing. And who is this Hakumen? He's barely scraping by with 1k 5A combos, but just looking at that pressure, it's the kind of pressure that would've mindfucked me. Up and down, every part of it could turn into a reset or a new low / high / throw. God. And he managed to make it through most of it. This guy was already outplaying this Tao a lot. Makes me wonder how you can survive the round that you don't have OD in, even if you make that smart read and win with OD in one round.

What will we be able to do with overdrive? Almost feels like I won't have to change how I play at all...

Shutup Noel. The funny thing is, literally the first thing I thought when I watched the Nemesis part was "THIS THEME IS SO NEMESIS, I HAVE TO HAVE IT." also that stein blast doing 3.7k, wtf

I'm going to have to put the CP2 combo thread together at some point. I have no idea what combos are even optimal right now.

Characters can be good and underrepresented by the player base too you know. Look at Tao.

It just tells me that they have a weak mentality. They lose their spirit before the match even ended.

I hate it when players do that. "Oh, I got hit in some random way I don't like, I'll just give up now."
