Toasty

No word yet, though I PM'd Aaron over SRK to talk about it.

First post updated. Next ranbat will be on August 6th in West Bloomfield, starting at 12:00. Check the first post for the address.

With any luck, Hilde and Algol will make it back. They both had too unique of playstyles to have them be in only one game, though I know they would need to be toned down a little (since Hilde was the best character), but re-balance always comes with a new release.

DigiOps might be better for ranbats since there are all of those TVs, but we would probably need the space of GYGO for MM.

Ranbat #5 results are up.

At least GYGO is bigger.

Next ranbat is on July 2nd, starting at 3. It will be back at GYGO now.

I was thinking that too. Maybe separating the matches by character would help as well.

http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11361-Michigan-Season-6-Ranbats-RESULTS I like how everyone there was dropping combos in every match. Especially the Jin mirror and Axis' first match. It was like we all had off days lol. EDIT- Wait, we didn't even record all of the matches. You sure you still want to upload the vids?

It's the glitch that's only on consoles where if you do a move that pulls your opponent in (like Valk's 6B), then your next move is a move that causes wall bound, the bound won't happen. It would happen to me if I were to try to go into 6C after a 6B. If it would hit, the opponent would just do the same animation as if the wall wasn't even there (the flying back).

You can also go into these combos off of a CH anti-air [w]5B. You have to delay the 236B slightly, but it does work.

XBL: Toasty88 Location: Grosse Pointe, MI Mic, but I'm usually in an XBL party I'm usually on at varying times daily, but send a PM if you want to play if I'm not on BB at the time.

Ranbat #4 results are up.

Since only one driver for BB would be able to make it to ranbats on Sunday, BB ranbats will just be held along with Friday casuals.

The next ranbat will be on a Sunday (June 19th). Updating the first post. EDIT- Note that it will be starting at 12:30, so it will be earlier than normal events. Cross post:

In this matchup, you need to be careful when using wolf form, since he can chain you if you begin to get predictable. Hazama's pressure is pretty solid and he can punish you hard if you get CH'd when he has meter. If he goes for his 6A overhead, you can IB 5A>2C>6B>combo which can lead to 3k+ midscreen or in the corner (as long as you aren't in or near the corner yourself) and a little bit less fullscreen. IBing a chain will let you 6A if he pulls himself in (just make sure he's doing so, or else he can punish a whiffed 6A). His 3C can also low profile under your 5B/C, and this will lead to big damage on CH. A quick 5A can be used if you see him going for an IAD cross-up during pressure. The trick in this matchup is to stay mobile (while attempting to avoid predictability) and avoid the chains. He will have trouble if he has no meter and you get in, so once you do so, go for some staggers and mixup. If he does have meter, follow up with something safe (for example, you can stagger with 2C>6B>2C>6B since it only has a 4 frame gap, so if he is trying to punish this with a Houtenjin, do 2C>6B>5C/3C, and he won't be able to super).

lmao

Your first sentence in that post did not end in a period. WHAT NOW, GLITCH? I don't think I can. It would be a pretty costly trip and I don't have the money for it right now. Getting that new computer didn't exactly help my chances either...

Fixed that for you. Glitch, you're next.

2C on neutral tech in the corner is pretty good if timed right, since it will beat any attempt to mash out and it will lead to a very nice combo on hit. Just be aware of what your opponent can do, since if they have a reversal and see it coming (like many moves on wakeup), you'll be hit out of it. Also I've been able to catch attempts to roll out of the corner with a 2B, which can lead into a 2B>5C>[combo depending on if you catch them mid roll or during the recovery at the end].

You can combo 2B into 2C if you low profile under Ragna's 5B if you're close enough, which will allow you to 2B>2C>Rozen>etc. Just be mindful of how far away you are from your opponent when going for a 2B.

I really like that string too since it's easy to hitconfirm off of and you can opt for yet another frame trap after the 6B by doing another 2C (4 frame window) if you choose not to go for wolf mixup or other pressure.

Be weary of using 3C meterless. While it does low profile under Valk's 5B/C, you will get punished for it if it's blocked (even at far range). If Valk punishes you for it, you will eat about 3-4k no matter how far away you are when he hits you.

I would recommend using 5C to punish 3C, since the 3C will sometimes push you out of range for 5B. You can still do the follow-up that you mentioned, however.

Pretty much this. It's more useful due to your increased mobility while in wolf form too. Besides, I've actually been clashed out of 6A before, which is never a good thing.
