Lose stupid command grab reward, hit more command grabs by abusing new risk reward.. Gain character neutral game viability? Worth it. Especially since the stronger characters are being reduced. Good shit ASW

6C Same move prorate? Thank god

It's possible 5D normal hit launch is a HUGE buff. Consider the Bnail relaunch; if he can get it on any crouching confirm for free, Bang's mid screen potency is through the roof compared to now. Also, jD not being complete gross garbage would be nice.

I hope you don't mind I'm using this as my biography

Does that remove fundamentals? No, not at all. The most fundamentally strong players consistently win, what does that say about the game except the exact opposite from what you said?

That is Ridiculous Look at the players who consistently place in Marvel

I probably just think Tager's AA's are good because I play Bang (He doesn't have an anti air that isn't gimmicky as fuck with low reward)

Cobalt; Thank you for your analysis. If you think some of the things I mentioned about how Noel got around Hazama's attacks is too clear cut, I would suggest a deeper look into footsies, because while it does certainly look obvious that is exactly what happened, actually being able to see that it was intentional and specifically called out Hazama's attack is not so clear cut. Many people have the false impression that Noel can simply mash on 2D and succeed, which is what a lot of people would have taken from that round had I not explained some of the more intricate things Ike was doing to bait it, making the successful 2D's going around a specific move more impressive. Does that make any sense? Also, trying to operate "insightfully" is difficult with someone who is relatively new to commentary as a partner, but believe me I've looked into everything you said and I do apply it whenever possible. Anyway, thanks, it's all good info and I can still improve from what you mentioned. Onslaught; Yeah dog Thanks Star Ok that's enough about me lets get back to the community. What are people doing individually to further Blazblue's reputation and presence as a fighting game?

I'd say rather that Tager has good anti airs and most of the good characters have -broken- anti airs. I can't even begin to describe how stupid Makoto's anti air is, easily one of the most rewarding, quick activating and simultaneously nearly unpunishable.

I don't think we really have a choice Honestly though, the way it's set up, we can find a way. Probably. Lol.

Seriously though if you want something for real, let me know what you're looking for and I can help out. Lol.

I don't think we see this in the same light. I have no problems with Dustloop, but good information posted here reaches the same good people every time. I'm just trying to go broader. Also, how can you speak on the Blazblue community when you are decisively not a part of it? X_x Also, to say Blazblue isn't that good of a game.. what does that even mean?

Yeah, that makes sense. Which is why here, I would generally say "go to a tournament guys" over anything. Silly lurkers. :v Thank you, I figure I have a unique opportunity to reach a lot of people, so it would be irresponsible not to take advantage of it.

Well.. lets say we do in fact interview countless people and post the interviews all over dustloop. The same people who already know about these things are seeing them, and are entertained or informed but no new people are reached. Personally, I have made efforts to reach new foundations. I've used Marvel 3 to create ties to important figures in Capcom fighting games, such as Haunts of IPW, Joe Flores of Keystone2 (AKA CPSIV, who has posted his upcoming Tight or Fight tournament now with Blazblue in it on both Dustloop and Shoryuken) and others. Using these new connections, I not only have a wider circle of fighting game friends to spend good time with, I can also attempt to bring Blazblue to an actually new group of people, instead of preaching to the choir, so to speak. So yes, I have ideas for spreading and supporting the scene, but it doesn't really have anything to do with Dustloop or providing content for it.

Oh, I didn't know that was off topic, just saw my name. x_x For supporting the scene, I think Stickbug said it best. Go to tournaments and spend time with community. The extra content is nice, but it does nothing to support the scene, really.

Xie's commentary is great, and I've learned a lot from it over time. Also, I've been hard at work becoming better and better at commentary so that eventually I will remove all of the flaws I notice in my commentary, so don't worry about it, I already know my commentary needs work. Dusk, do you think I don't know Blazblue? O_o Kind of don't know how to respond to that. Mashthat, I try to adjust my commentary to the level of importance of the match. I'll add color to matches that aren't at the height of the tournament, and then scale the serious factor back in towards semis, winners/losers finals and grand finals. It seems to be more entertaining for those watching in general, where those who wouldn't want it are more in the minority.

Awesome

Oh shit guymam and dsmoove for NCI? That would be sweet :v

I can almost feel the underlying sarcasm here, so I'm pretty sure we both agree on this whether you'll flatly say it here or not.

Which is of course why I'm saying what I'm saying.. I would much rather the qualifiers be determined by a tournament where many if not all top players were present (Like EVO) than a tournament where very few, mostly local players were present. Does that make sense?

I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of people said last year. And I agree with Veteru much more when it's not a qualifier.

I guess. I wouldn't have been able to afford to go anyway, I'm just frustrated for those I know have worked hard who had no possible way to have discovered of this event in time, where this has apparently happened before as well under identical contexts.

So what you're saying is that not only was it not posted to the primary place people check for tournaments and qualifiers and the like, the date was also changed half a month before it happened? LK is not responsible for other people knowing, the TO is. If I were LK, I wouldn't be informing those who can offer competition to a qualifier of such high stakes anyway, not to mention it's probably the last thing on his mind at EVO.

Tager's anti airs are already great.. (2A, 2C, jump grab should be all anyone could ever need) Projectile invulnerable spark bolt sounds very potent, but honestly it does sound fair. It would make the "Keep your gun loaded" strategy really effective. It might be a little too much against characters like Lambda though, who really have very little other than their zoning. It's definitely a good idea though, especially since the effectivity could be scaled down in terms of how fast it activates projectile invulnerability.
