Holy shit, that was like, the best damn barbeque ever. So great on so many levels. I'm not even going to try to explain the awesome shit that happened all night, but I'll post up my Veteru and Spark tally.. I ended up roughly 2 wins 6 losses with both of em. You guys are easily the best BB players I've played so far by a wide margin, it was a ton of fun to play you both. I'll give you guys another try when my execution's up another notch. Huey, was great to finally meet you. Don't let the pressure psych you out, you are a good player. You have good reads and you pull off some hilarious shit, but you snap under pressure a bit. Plastic, you got a really good Tao man! I can't remember my score against you, but I don't feel like I played you at my prime of the night ever, which made me sad. Fun playing you though. Kaigu, same stuff, but with Ragna. You have better execution of any Ragna's I've played except Veteru, when you level up a little bit you'll be really really hard to stop. I'm just glad I knew a bit about Ragna and how to outpoke him in some cases. Soniti, Camaro, Mike, Notsoniti, James, Biter, Brett, and many others I can't remember cause I'm fucking soo tired, good to see you all again. Pulsr, thanks a ton for the BBQ man, that was awesome. Render, WE'RE GOING TO JAPAN MAN. IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

Bang's umbrella super is listed as "able to combo into itself 14 times and then resets", but it's actually character specific. A character like Tager will get hit pretty much until the umbrella goes away, a character like Noel will reset at 4 some times.

Part 2 in the PNW Saga starts today. Me and Dabbit are infiltrating Pulsr's BBQ to surprise them with unexpected terrain; Norcallians in Socal? Impossible. NEXT UPDATE WILL BE AFTER WINS OR LOSES. OR BOTH.

I have a secret. But I won't tell anyone what it is. See you soon PNW. ... IN SOCAL

They can meaty the first frame, you can't dash back. :]

I didn't say fucking afraid, I said you can frustrate the Bang into not using one of his pokes.

Awesome wuku, I will talk to him for sure. That sounds like an amazing room, hanging out with PNW some more would be good times.

I used to get hit by 5C a lot.. thankfully I got to play dabbit a large number of times and figured out if you cross it up he dies. Other than that, no, none of those moves are particularly scary. It's the air grab that is. :c

Yeah, I do. But those at least make sense to get 100% curse on. :d There's an accomplishment to accompany the success, you hit him during his attack with a good read. Air grab is just a 7 frame aerial, well, it hit again.

That's a lot different, but I do agree that his 5A mix is too strong.

It's less crawl and more attacks like 2B and 3C, getting a hit box in front of her and going underneath things like 5A. It's hard for Bang to start multiple blockstrings with 2A, since the hit stun is poor and it starts up much slower than 5A, and has less options; so, if you can make him nervous about going underneath, you may remove one of his best moves.

No, because it's a stupid mechanic. "Oh I got that one hit I was looking for, forget his other moves." If they are smart they will enhance the importance of his shitty moves and reduce the importance of his currently amazing ones (Air grab, etc)

Yeah. Also, 2C ashura puts you at disadvantage for only like 500 damage. I don't think it's worth it except when it will kill.

Just tell me where to be and I'll make things free

I can't see it worse than even or slightly bang's advantage, TBH Tao's biggest clinchers are better mobility, higher damage from aerials (Though it is extremely reliant on grab whereas Bang can hit confirm an air poke to pressure or combo with meter at any height), better low profile, extremely high damage off certain hits. Bang's biggest clinchers are nails (Dnails are dominance in a projectile), able to keep up with Tao's incredible mobility, better pokes, much better mixup. Tao's biggest failures are tragic defense (Remedied by saving meter for CA), 4 guard primers or 2 post burst, extremely low health bar (All 3 of which Bang is able to capitalize on very strongly), and an offense that is very badly suited to dealing with Bang's defensive failures Bang's biggest failures are his fastest pokes can be low profiled with yomi, he doesn't have any even half reliable way to anti air Tao assuming good spacing, and Bang isn't used to dieing in 2-3 combos. My experience and watching japan tells me it's even or slightly Bang's advantage. The new Tao combos ending with oki is a big improvement though. That is what brings me to think even. But this is assuming perfect execution, which is much harder for Tao to reach.

They're going to cap it to 75% in one combo with the console rebalance. Mark my words.

.. oh

This latest combo makes me cry a lot

I really like the route Blaz took with DPs. They're far from godhand moves, so it's okay when people don't have them. Smoosh, your argument is so dumb. There's only 3 levels of unsafe; They can hit me with absolutely anything, they can hit me with a full combo, and they can put me in block. Jin's C DP happens to hit the first category, but it almost never matters, because in most circumstances that looks very similar to option number 2. Obviously it can't be taken down to "put in block", so you're recommending option 2. Why does it matter? The obvious intent was you can't just mash C DP and pray, so I guess you had better just think of better ways to use it. I'll give you a hint, IB 623C in their pressure strings, but only at times where they are horizontally committed.

I read this thread and when Tushar said "contact someone" I thought to myself "that's gonna be me" Checked pms was me TEAM CARLAKUNANG (Carl-uh-koo-nang) GOOOO

Anyone looking for someone to room with? Trying to split hotel costs, I figure paying for hotel price full on is going to suck for anyone. I get in Thursday, leave monday morning. Hit me up, thanks. If I already know you I will put your offer above people I don't, but people I don't know is just an opportunity to meet more people.

qwerty if you're going to troll BB in literally every thread on dustloop at least do it intelligently, I really expect better from you. :[ I didn't even smile on these ones Also, on topic, I'm hella at this tournament, thanks for getting things going early Tushar.
