But it's already been discovered that you can combo into B nail into Steel rain, so it's not THAT unpractical.. just not new either, and uuuuusually you're going to be better off going daifunka anyway.

It's a reset dude

I am -always- willing to eat more pho ... always

Almost certainly Re. PS, Re, you seem like a cool guy via posts. Looking forward to meeting you man. (Looking forward to meeting everyone I haven't yet, actually ^_^)

uhh.. am I one of them? I just kind of think it makes sense..

You're exaggerating certain parts of the matchup and forgetting about other truly miserable aspects of bang. His DD's are all wakeups, but Steel Rain is a shitty one, Ashura is a very very close range one (loses to correct spacing 100% of the time) and Daifunka is horrifically unsafe on block (And if Bang uses it while in the corner, he's eating a 2C fatal corner combo for it if he fails, or burning a full bar of meter to rapid). So, his distortions are not the focus of this being a bad matchup. Poison nail dash beating A DP anti air, floating in too low to be hit by B DP without incredible yomi and too low to be hit by C DP always is a big problem; anti air-ing bang is very very hard even before you calculate his extra air dash. Bang has a command grab that's very hard to get out of, does half your health with meter (Although jin has a very strong universal option on defense, gives him an edge on most characters for that. IB D DP is a life saver for Jin) Really, the biggest problem in this matchup is that Jin relies on meter and Bang relies on nails, meaning Bang is extremely strong at the beginning of the match, and Jin only becomes strong after he has successfully blocked or landed hits a few times. The longer a Jin player can drag the match out, the better his odds of winning are; but even with meter, Bang is stronger if he has meter and nails. So it's very uphill.

Sounds like a LOT of people are gonna be at Rod's. I'd recommend sleeping in your own bed dude. Lol. Still working out the logistics of possibly housing someone. But it will be very close to the tournament that I find out if it's possible... Sidenote: Mike, would be great to see you again. Camaro, you too.

That's pretty unfortunate. How did you guys adjust so that it would be fair?

It has occurred that a game undeserving of a high/low rating has received the undeserved rating.. ratings are rarely a great way to determine a game's playability, especially with fighters, which tend to aim for a niche that is often unrepresented in rating.

I'm surprised he played well with 5 hours of sleep O_o

It took so long to convince Kelvin to go to the qualifier, glad he proved his worth Also, Orion, you have been dedicated to improving, but the -most- dedicated is a bold claim. Norcal is universally stepping up it's game all around, I'm extremely happy. EDIT: My work is trying very hard to screw me over. On a day I requested off, I now have a 4 hour shift from 10-2... So I'm working diligently to get it covered, but in the event that I show up at 3pm shit is very bad, right?

Oh yeah, we definitely have a match chun. So like, 8ish matches total Zong, if you're in Norcal, I can find things for us to do. I'd say it's worth staying the extra day. If nothing else, we can play scott pilgrim vs the world all day Rin, for recording the 'last' set of money matches, make sure you record every match that 'could' be the last, and delete em afterwards if they aren't unbelievably spectacular or actually the last round ^_^ Also, even if the recording stuff isn't there, you are a part of the community and I hope you would show up, because we all miss you. o:

And in many, many ways, it did. If balance was easy, you wouldn't ever need a sequel or patch.

I was broke -before- kenneth and pretzel.

Seriously, he's perfectly made except they need to add some kind of curse-proration to stop most of these 100% combos from happening. If he had only like 2 100 cursers, and they were only on fatal, and the rest of his curse combos were like 50-70, he'd be totally balanced.

I think it's funny how half the internet denies Ara is even a good character and the other half thinks he is broken He's actually pretty fair, just not to the bad characters in this game. Patch should fix it.

I feel like I gave you the very last of my money there, but I was so broke I might not have. I dunno, that night all becomes relatively blurry as we hit the 3am+ mark

Spirit juice and Xie were already down, and past that I believe (correct if wrong): Coopa Willy Orion Orion Reverse match Zonger Definitely can't think of any others right now, so 7 as it stands
