I'm trying to get back into GG and BB, unfortunately, finding decently lag-free matches in bbcse is difficult, and finding any online matches at all on ggac is impossible. I'm located in central Columbus, and I am thinking about going down to arcade legacy for one of their fight nights soon.

I'm looking for someone to play with. I'm in ohio. I've developed some bad habits and I need to have them beaten out of me. I play rachel and I'm just getting into EX.

Rachel main, been playing for a long time but never seem to get any better. I would welcome some advice or critique. I play at night mostly. DL: checkplus PSN: checkplus

I'm realizing more and more that this is exactly what she needed. She's not so different that much re-learning will be necessary. j.c-9JC-2d-lvl 2 j.c is seeming like it is still extremely important, which makes me even happier. Not a big fan of the new wind system, but I still don't totally understand it. 6a ftw though.

That would be pretty weird if it forced you to stand on block. I'd say it's probably just on hit, but still, it'll make 6c a little less aggravating.

Great, nothing like having to back off from your opponent because your wind gauge didn't replenish during that last combo. At least all that time I spent learning how to block won't go to waste in CSII.

I always push the opponent back too far to hit with 2b-5b-8 jump-2d to hit with a jumping string.

Dude, go with the 9 jump 2d, works like a charm. Plus you can put something before the 5b, like a 2b, 4b, jab, or my personal favorite, 6a. The mixup I've been trying to use is 6a, 5b, 9 jump-2d-j.a(have to input quickly to hit crouching opponents), j.b, dj, j.a, j.a, j.c, 2b, 5b... instead of either of the j.b's you can airthrow fake into a quick 2b. I don't know if this video has been posted yet, but I've been working off of it for a few weeks now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ0DV0NT8Kw

I'm pretty sure they mean that the opponent slides, because they said the same effect happened on a CH 6B. What could be good about that is that it makes it so more combos hit more people, because they all slide the same distance.

yea, I actually saw that replay a while back. You can only do the 150 tension version when your health is below 35% so your tension goes up as you combo. The regular combo is just from the princess combo video, ronpin just does another rep. It was impressive as hell because of how situational the combo is.

I was so happy when I got 10. It actually ruined all my other combos for a while cuz I couldn't stop doing things from that combo, not to mention that I had to fight the urge to push select every time I dropped a combo.

do you mean CH 236A, 5B, 5CDC, 214A, Dash 3C, 5CCx2, 214B, 3C, 214A ? That would explain your problem. If so, then you can't do that. If you hit them into the frog while they're knocked down, you can only do one 5CC and still continue the combo. If not, then you couldn't summon the frog right after the 3c.

I spent a ton of time learning this, it's actually really weird how it works. characters it will almost always work on: Taokaka, Arakune, Rachel, Makoto characters where the timing is tight without SJ: Bang, Carl, Jin (pretty much always SJ these) characters where you have to SJ:Lambada, Tsubaki, Hakumen characters where you can't sj, but timing is easy: litchi characters where you can't sj, and timing is hard: Hazama, Ragna (you have to delay the j.c slightly) special cases Tager: you have to SJ, and you input the j.2C early. Noel: You can SJ, but you fall faster for some reason, easier just to do it without SJ tips do the j.c-9-2d quickly. make sure you're always jumping with 9 and not 8. when you're hitting, but not getting a lvl 2, that means everything is right but the timing on the j.2c, do it later.

Maybe they changed the name, that would be a buff.

Yea, good question, she has been walking all over me. She seems pretty CT Rachelish with a bit of nu mixed in. The lasers fire a bit after they target, so they're not hard to dodge if you keep track of them (but it's still hard to get in with a bunch of them around). basically what I've been doing is waiting for one of them to miss and summoning George. Then I wind him over there while she's summoning, so far, they haven't even tried to stop him, but that'll change once they get better. Either way, you didn't stop her lasers yet, they have a long enough delay that the opening comes about a second after her last summon, so it's hard to use even a hit from him as an opening. One of the most important things is that she can delay her attacks that will hit you even if you do hit her. Your best bet is to do a combo that moves a lot such as an air combo or a 6c starter to make any turrets miss. Unsurprisingly, her defense sucks, though she does have a super with some decent invincibility that keeps getting me. Her pokes are big and annoying, but surprising her with something tricky seems all too effective. I'm not 100% on this, but she doesn't seem to have an answer to some of the slower block strings because of the startup for her moves.

so it's just 5b-2d5cc-5cc-214b-3c(3hits)xnumber of winds? 5cc prorates a ton, that sounds useless unless it's designed to allow for frog oki. edit: I figured it out after watching some match videos. yea, It happens on all the 3c frogable characters. The frog doesn't go off if you do 3c too quickly. It's annoying because you basically have to judge on the fly when to do a 3c based on the distance. Maybe it's just me though, I'll keep working on it.

somebody told me about a corner loop for Rachel... supposedly one that uses no wind and includes 5cc and a frog. he said it was in a Ma Dao combo video, but I've seen 2 of them, and all I saw was the spike loop. Is there another combo video, did I miss it, or am I completely off track? I know you can combo 5cc 3 times in the corner, but I don't know how you would get past the 2 second frog timer. Also, has anyone else had the problem where the frog doesn't go off in the 5b-5cdc-214a-3c(1hit)-236a(frog hits)-236a-(air combo, oki, or BBL) combo? It seems like I can get past it by delaying the 3c very slightly, but it's starting to get frustrating. I think it's because of the slight bit of distance that 5b ads, because it doesn't happen when I start with 5cdc.

Well, the thing is... It's California. It would still be worth going, even if the game wasn't there. Plus, I'm in college. The average conversation asking if someone wants to go to California over the break goes something like this Me: "hey, you want to go to California?" Them: "Can I finish eating first?" Me: "I'm serious" Them: "OK, fine, I'll eat in the car" Unfortunately, I might have to sit out. The road trip that I randomly conjured up, may go without me

me and some friends may be planning a road trip to the one in CA over the Christmas break. The catch: We live in Ohio. I don't suppose anyone else will be there around Dec. 13-20? Anyone know how crowded it is?

I worked on this one over the summer. It came out looking decent. I messed up once or twice though.
