It's a rumor, I wouldn't put too much weight into it, Irrsinn.

game set

Shame I can't be there to crush all your hopes and dreams

How do you think I bait all them bursts.. I just stop comboing, close my eyes and take a cat nap. I get lucky a lot.

But what about all the people who think Rachel is pretty cool, but are too intimidated to try her? "Today is my day", they'll say to themselves. "Now I might finally get to use the character I always longed for. I just could never get past settling for Ragna/Bang/Litchi/Toki all these years" See what it could do?

No fuck that I want to win this How about next time you pick one of them

Lol ban mains tournament But then everyone would play Ragna or Bang, dependant on which one isn't their main

It's a secret mountain too

Well imagine that

Hmm. Doesn't seem to be happening. :[ Sorry to let you down. I'm sure there'll be people who need partners, keep trying

Why do you keep telling people my secrets

Wouldn't adviiise it. Bangs everywhere makes team Arakune in for a rough ride. .-.

My friend Kelly is going, but is trying not to sign up. I could guilt trip her HARD to be a partner for you. :v

Yeah, Super, make sure you show up on Sunday if you want to see/learn more about CS. :>

I just want to remind everyone that that final dive that got beat out by super crash was pretty ridiculous. Thought you read me like a book, got paid for it. Lolol S tier

Thanks a lot for the records Tournament was great, was great to see norcal again. I'll be back, don't worry.

After the terrors of 5A, everyone's asking me to pass the salt.. cute kittens or not

omg guys owr favorit game, blazblue calamity shift is here, but we have to go to the other one to continue playin for longer on our bujit

yup If you don't utilize instant blocking, you're missing out on S tier. Literally. Bang is only able to compete/be better than Litch and Ragna, respectively, without a dragon punch, because of instant blocking. So don't be lazy! Oh, wow, better news than I thought. Of his normals, the only ones under 12 frames are his 5A (5), 2A (7), 5B (8), 2B (9), and he can't gatling to them from anything C or beyond. Of his specials, there's only 3 or 4 that start up in under 12.. unfortunately, I can't read Japanese, but they don't seem to be the ones that would be used in blockstring pressure from the numbers... .-. Oh, of course, 2 of them are C and D Dragon Punch. --- Looking at more of his frame data, if you understood that a Ragna liked to use the same blockstring a lot, and always the same A or B move into a C or higher, you could probably IB interrupt it with 5A, since all of his A's and B's (Notable exception being 5B, which is level 3, what the fuck) are only level 0-1 blockstun. Meaning if you IB a level 0 move, you're probably only stuck with the literal moment his hand touches you (but IBing them are really hard, since those are only his jabs), and if you IB a level 1 move, you have extremely little time stunned. Probably the only thing I'll potentially get from this is if you IB Ragna's 2B, there's a chance you can stuff literally any followup with 5A, but his 3C might screw it up. Just have to test it. Most likely, what is to be gained from this, is that certain moves allow an easy IB backdash.

... Oh my GOD RinHara5aki RinHara5aki THE CHOSEN PUPIL?!

I know, Rei, but if you further calculate out the math and what it really means, it's deceptive. If you use 2C alone, you are +1 if you gatling into nothing else, -4 if your opponent instant blocks and you gatling into nothing else. That means if he uses it alone, with no gatlings, if you instant block 5B it's literally free unless he dragon punches, because even his 5A is going to be 5 frames, I believe, meaning he needs 9 frames (-4 on block 5 frame jab), and since you're starting 4 ahead of him, you have enough time to throw out even an 8 frame jab(+4 on your IB'ing his 2C, to 8 frame jab = 4 frames, faster than his 5A), not to mention 5B walks all over Ragna's 5A anyway. But THEN, you realize, in the grand scheme of things, Ragna is probably going to gatling things from his 2C, often, just like most moves. So why are we still safe, here? Well, Ragna's options after 2C are just about all slower than 12ish frames, which is what I'm guesstimating Ragna's 2C, when gatling'd immediately to another move, leaves you desiring (something like 9 frames of blockstun, but 4ish frames of blockstun with IB, 8 frames 5B). Most importantly, IB 5B on 2C beats Gauntlet hades clean, every time I've used it, and that's usually the first thing on a Ragna's mind, especially with meter. That makes this much safer than a guard point, as Ragna gets no chance to rapid > punish; you go THROUGH his move instead of trying to block-stop it. I know this is accurate, I've been using it and it works, well. Just don't get greedy, if you try to IB 5B his 5C, you often get fatal countered on 2C, and a couple other moves have similar problems. His 2C is your safest interruption moment. Some time later, I'll research Ragna's frame data and more accurately show the math.

Huey, you're still saying he's going to DP during his blockstring. If you honestly get him that scared, it's a good thing.
