Does a wakeup c.S actually work? On trade I believe it favours Venom a lot.

That's G3 23v23, which is different from East VS West 23v23.

From MINT's blog, on console. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4384407 Tsubu(AB) VS Ruu(BR)

Oh crap so my non-Japanese Slayer idol is not in this batch.

Ruu's streak continues! http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4419487 Endou(MA) VS Ruu(BR) Chonari(ZA) VS Ruu(BR) BLEED(JO) VS Ruu(BR)

Is McArthur Bluntz the same person as Boss.Slayer?

DF2 = Dream Fighter's Festival

DF2 is still happening this year? The major event coming up next is a-cho Cup Ishin Gaiden, followed by G3.

Now it begins! Ruu's streak in 23v23! http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4397390 Senpai(CH) VS Ruu(BR) Nakamura(MI) VS Ruu(BR) Osaka B(FA) VS Ruu(BR)

Like what AtTheGates posted above, more 23v23 matches! http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4384062 Shuuto(AX) VS N-O(VE) Isa(ED) VS N-O(VE) Koichi(IN) VS N-O(VE) http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4383664 Koichi(IN) VS Sanma(OR) Koichi(IN) VS Nikukyuu(CH) Koichi(IN) VS Ruu(BR)

A perfect GG bot will just slashback everything and break every throw, so 2 perfect GG bots playing will end up in a time over draw.

Past SBO champions had always been disappointing in their respective 23v23. Think Ogawa last year and KA2 2 years ago.

OMG so Venom automatically loses if he jumps? No wonder you should never jump over the Gunflame.

Oh Mike you failed me! j/k it seems like you had tons of fun for the weekend, though I was kinda surprised that you were the only foreign team this year. FAB in boxer sounds damn... wrong...

Great job Mike for being double champions at EVO! Kinda random, but could you or anyone buy me a SBO T-shirt and the guide book when you head down to SBO on Sunday? I'll pay you the amount via PayPal or something.

More input for Potemkin matchup please. For some reason I tend to get Potbustered when Potemkin blocks my S Mad Struggle. What's the better thing to do after a gatling chain into 2S? S CR gets evaded by Forward Megafist, and HS CR gets beaten by Hammerfall. The only way I win this matchup is alot of turtling and ball setting and shooting. Once I got him blocking, it's alot of c.S (3 hits), S CR. I also avoid ending strings with DC as it also gets beaten by Hammerfall.

For some reason, FAB seemed a lot stronger to me in #R. Perhaps it is due to the fact that he scored so many seemingly impossible wins in SBO3 with #R Potemkin.

After 2D hits the falling S-ball, you can -like Klaige mentioned, S-DB, 2S, S-SA for pressure without FRC -S-DB, 2S, HS-SA FRC for combo if 2S hits -go into 3-ball formation if opponent FDs, eg. K-DB, P-ball for a HS-K-P formation -perhaps go for the Isamu-style midscreen rush (can be seen in a-cho 5v5 match VS DC) ; what I had in mind is K-DB, 5P the HS-ball, dash in D-ball, 2K the falling D-ball. With the K-ball up, you can dash j.P if opponent tries to jump backwards to escape ground pressure.

Thanks! Edited my post to get the correct full combo and formation. N-O has invented a new okizeme for quite a while, which goes something like this. Combo into 2D, HS-ball, dash in D-ball (or was it S-ball?), 2D as opponent wakes up, DB

The final formation looks something like this. The top ball is a HS ball. The bottom 2 balls are not in a horizontal line, so I guess it shouldn't be HS-K-S formation. ----------o ----------- --o-------- -------o--- -----------

Yeah I know it's valid, but I'm just not sure if the final 3-ball setup is indeed the H-D-P formation.

I'm taken an interest in 3-ball setups from a corner throw recently (partly because I still haven't mastered 6P-6HS-CR). From a-cho 5v5, Isamu's setup, throw, K-DB, 5K, 6P, K-DB, S-ball, 2S, H-DB, P-ball From Without Me combo video at 2:33, throw, S-DB, 2S, P-DB, 2S, 5HS, H-DB, S-ball, 2S, S-DB, P-ball The last part may not be the correct setup, can someone with the game or someone who knows the correct setup please verify?

Potemkin does better against Testament and Eddie compared to Slayer?
