So I don't think anyone posted this video yet (and if so... then I'll re-post it anyway). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFRTlj2fhoE&feature=sub At 0:15 the Carl used 3C into 3D, but the 3D forced standing? It also looks like his combos can end earlier if you use his A attacks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXJJRgVHK-w&feature=sub Really hype combo against Jin. j2C alle~can>5B>[6D]B>j2C alle~can>5B>repeat

Accent core players... in Chicago? Especially Cook County? :3

No wonder why my 4D combos don't work. >_> EDIT: Now that I got the 4D combo down, is there a combo limit to 4D? Meaning when the combo gets closer to X, when will it not combo?

Where downtown? I'm totally free next weekend too.

I hate this match-up. The only solution I've come up with is just constantly reset them once they are sandwiched so they can't get a chance to get out.

CvS 1 and 2 I am definitely going because of this... sometime in November.

Just wanted to say good games Zoogs. I was a little too free against Leonil. Wish I could have done more mirror matches with you. Could you give me any tips for my Carl? Also congrats on winning your tournament! :D

So... no weekly casuals? Only on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

So after 30 minutes of testing.. Ragna: 5B>6B>3D>jC If they block high, they get hit by 3D and jC, which still allows you to combo If they block low, jC will whiff, but you will cross over the opponent (possibly) Note that the jC does not count towards the combo from 5B>6B>jC Jin: 5B>6B>jB>xx Noel: 5B>6B>jA Rachel: None Taokaka: 5B>6B>jA Carl: None Litchi: 5B>6B>jA 5B>6B>jC works too, see Ragna Arakune: 5B>6B>jA Tager: 5B>6B>jA 5B>6B>jB>xx 5B>6B>j2C>xx 5B>6B>jC (see Ragna) Bang: None Hakumen: 5B>6B>jB>xx 5B>6B>jC (see Ragna) Lambda: 5B>6B>jC I tried 3D>jC>xx, and it pushed me behind Ada, so I'm not sure if you'll want to try this (unless you want to RC it) Hazama: 5B>6B>jB 5B>6B>slightly delayed jA Tsubaki: None

3D airdash reset: 3D - jump, late air dash - j.B - j.C - 2B Fixed for clarity. Also I noticed that the 5B>6B>jB works only on a few characters (most notably Jin and Hazama), while the 5B>6B>j2C works on Ragna and Tager. I'll post which will work against who tomorrow.

I remember learning the summon bnb combo... *reminisce* I find it easy to input it as 2A>2B>3C>2D>IAD j2C alle~can>combo The '3C' counts as a down input, so inputting 32D still counts as 22D. Also during a 2D loop, 5C~volante is so cash as opposed to j2C alle~can>5C~volante

By any chance will both be open on the weekends for casuals? I'd love to go to both places. I doubt I could go on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the first one due to school.

BCDX AXXX ~ All the way. I don't see how you guys can use type B. O_o

Instant block sledge and back dash.

That will be the first thing I try when I get back, PK Blizzard. :3 Also have we played before?

When getting pressured, look for a gap in the opponent's block strings and poke them out of it (go for a 2A>2B>3C>IAD j2C alle~can>xx), or go for a 2A>5B>22D>IAD j2C alle~can. If you can manage without Ada, use volante and try to keep them in enough stun so you can later summon Ada for setups. Don't ever mash when in hit sun/being pressured. Be patient. Learn to hit confirm, etc. As for keeping space with Ada, try to stay close to her (of course). I tend to hide my inputs for Ada with 6A, 5B, or 5C. Don't always predict to what your opponent will do, react to it (as in not throwing out random 623D, 8D, etc). Use 41236D and dash/IAD with her to move her forward. If the situation is C-O-N and the opponent just happens to get out, leave Nirvana there and judge from there. Lets say it became N-C-O, the opponent may try to either get away or pressure you. Don't summon Ada towards you in this case, since the opponent will have a better reason to run away. Try to either hit with a jB fatal or hit with 8D or 623D. I'm out of ideas, hope this helped.

So you're trying to space yourself away from the opponent, or have spacing with Ada?

I'm not even sure what you asked here...

:D

Hey I think I remember you Andarel. Were you the one that asked me if Lambda's 214A goes through grabs? Also WTF they had Guilty Gear there? >:/

Hrm. Well I made a few friends there. Sadly I didn't get their names though. I was wondering why you had that bag. I was gonna ask what was in it, but I was too hype to play Carl. Did the winners of the tournament win a prize (besides a photo on their website >_>)? It did make me rofl at the sight of people offline mashing on an arcade stick.

Yeah I remember you. I don't remember what you look like, but I do remember a black guy talking to an Asian friend. You should have introduced yourself to me! I didn't know that was you! D:

I ended up rematching the Litchi player like 10+ times yesterday. I won maybe 3-4 matches against the guy. He told me that he was winning the tournament for me too (since I couldn't enter :x), so that made me happy! Sadly he plays on PSN so I can't spar with him ever again. People were getting hype for the stupidest of things. 720's, random distortions, etc. It slightly annoyed me. You would know if you played me. I was the only Carl player. D: I fought maybe 2 Noels yesterday, so I possibly fought you. I mainly played on the setup with the sticks (across from where Halo 3 was at). EDIT: Now that you mention it I did lose to a Noel that landed a random air distortion... Maybe it was you o_O
