Why is he talking about fish. What.

I'm always up for games Shin. This guy's taken too many j.C's to the face. He's getting punch drunk.

Congrats, Shin. What caused it? Also, you should loan Axis your copy of Extend and let him use your XBL account. Axis must get on XBL and get destroyed, one way or another. It is his destiny.

Lambda's Astral is one of the harder ones to avoid. It's instant. As in, the moment you start it up, they're hit if they're in range. You can't escape it.

Characters? There's your first problem. The characters in BB are too diverse and complex to be able to get good at more than one, at least at first. You have to specialize, and pour all your effort into one main character. As far as knowing your characters well, that just comes with playing more. If he mashes DP, then bait it and punish. If he mashes jabs and such during your blockstrings, then use frame traps. Frame traps are moves that leave enough of a gap that it gives him a chance to try and hit you, but the gap is small so he fails. He just ends up getting hit by your next move if he doesn't block. But you shouldn't get ahead of yourself. Just playing a lot does a lot of good.

Yeah, I hate joining rooms. I just make a room and invite who I want to play.

That's usually what the match comes down to.

Yeah I'll come in here in the morning at 9 AM just to see him say "GGs, time to sleep."

You were definitely outspacing me tonight. That 5A was ruining everything. And I kept screwing up the timing on countering the 214D. I'm only in real trouble when I'm around 30% life though. That's when one more combo can kill me or you can just hang back and poke me to death. But if I have a lot of life I can take the risks to get in closer. Well, our matches were pretty close. It was just the mirror that was giving you real trouble.

When it rains, it pours.

Hah, that purple air grab. I remember when me and my friends thought that was an infinite or something.

lolol, so you knew what it was. Yup. I just have to figure out the timing for it. But I just love doing IAD j.2C. How can I STOP Fighting you and Ached side by side is interesting. You default to zoning, and Ached always rushes forward. It makes it hard to predict him sometimes. At first. ;o Nobody escapes the download. But then when you fought Ached you were unleashing some hellish mixup.

If you lose to your friend IRL, then beating him is a good start. Also, you shouldn't look at it as a "horrendous lack of skill." You're not SUPPOSED to have the same techniques and experience as people who've been playing 24/7 yet. You have to learn to crawl before you can walk. It's like first picking up a violin and being disappointed you can't play a concert.

I figured out how to beat it at least. Too bad I get greedy.

dat gdlk lamda 5a GGs Toan, Ached. Man, it was weird watching your matches after I played you guys. Every match you guys had was someone getting massacred. It was the complete opposite of ours.

Astrals are more of a "too fun not to do" kind of thing than a disrespectful thing.

Play NeoGio.

Zeth has 360 Extend.

Rube, you can't rely on other people to do the learning for you. You have to use your mistakes as pointers for what went wrong, and then ask questions and do research to find out what to do next. Whenever I get owned by something, I try to think of what I had a problem with, and then what moves I could do to stop it. Then you could experiment in training mode or during matches to see if it works. In any case, you shouldn't get salty at them from playing how they want to, because they're playing to enjoy the game for themselves, not to be your personal trainer. Unless that's why they got on.

Look at it from a longer perspective. Don't worry about winning each individual match that you're in. It's not like that specific match is the end of the world if you lose. Just focus on blocking for a few matches, and just look for overall improvement through a period of time instead. Use them as experiments instead.

It's okay. An imitation will always lose to the original.

I got so enraged by the subtitling in this one episode, I learned how to extract the scripts, edit them, and put them back in. MAC SUBTITLING COMPANY

They're like starving wolves. They have nothing left but to turn on each other like a pack of wild animals.

lol, Star leaves and this thread gets even saltier. Sac up, folks.
