I'll be at both. DES guys are getting two rooms for summer jam. But I don't think they're willing to open up floor space to people. D= I'd offer to run teams on Sunday but BB and GG teams has always been super sad at summer jam.

BB and GG is free and so am I! If I work that night I'll try to make it down to level up with you guys.

I've got some really good strings written down somewhere. I'll post them here when I find my notebook.

I'm trying to get back to hosting but I never have weekends off now. It's lame.

Body Shop is looking to be on Hiatus for a while. I'll definitely post up if me or the other guys are running a gathering.

Well yeah, you play conservatively and then blow all your meter on punching a bitch in the face. With 100 meter its a 1HKO and is unblockable.

LK is Lord Knight. He's a moderator of the Litchi forums, a top player, and maybe the best Litchi in America. IAD stands for instant Air Dash. You do this by inputting 956(up-forward, neutral, forward)quickly. If done properly you'll get a really low dash. Kokshi is her super that she does when her staff is set on the ground. The staff turns into a Gumby stick figure looking dude and starts spinning all over the place.

This is a match where you really have to pay attention due to how brainless hakumen can be with his drive. If they like to press 2D a lot do something like 5B > 6A to get a counterhit as they may be doing something like pressing 2D after every attack. 5D is really active and I'm pretty sure you can 3C CH him for it on reaction. 5D will also catch on either side of him so it can really shut down a cross up attempt. You're gonna wanna do a lot of empty jump ins and dropped pressure to see if and how they press the D button. Grab them if you see that flash. Both 3C and J6D can beat Haku's 4C. Haku's 3C will knock you out of stance. An average Haku will try to D the follow up. A good haku just won't let you get there. Watch for when he has two stars. Hotaru will beat just about everything you do. Remember to barrier it in the air. If he does 623AA and doesnt hit confirm before jumping. Just jump up and throw him for it.

If you block the first hit of it, I believe its safe. You want to make the first hit whiff then dash in and hit her for it before the second one comes down. This is a match you really, REALLY want to keep at neutral. I rip my hair out playing(read: smashing my face against the controller in frustration) this match up against LK. Watch your spacing at all times. I'm gonna say that one again. Watch your spacing at all times. Full screen: play the chain harassment game to stop her advances. Move in on hit only. Her flying staff goes away on hit AND block. Watch her set position and be ready to 5D/ 6D or J5D/ J6D when she sends it flying. Mid Range: This is you weakest range. You wont see a good Litchi without her staff in this range meaning her range > yours. Try to use barrier to push her away and reset to neutral again/ punish a whiff with chains. Try using short chained SJ J4DD > JB to move in on her unexpectedly and combo/ start pressure. You can 3C under her 6B[m] and IttsuB. Just make sure you can hit her with it because it'll still punish you for whiffing. 4D at max range is stupid amounts of safe, since shell be hitting you on the last active frames. Itll beat low profile moves. Might be able to late 5A or 2C her out of it. I really don't know to deal with this move. 6B[m] CH or air hit hurts. A lot. Don't get hit by it ever or it's gonna be a very short round for you. 2C[m] you don't have to be as scared of. It's still a good AA though, and she gets good damage and a corner carry from it. Just not 6K meterless good. jC[m] is still good to throw out to move in. I don't have any definite answers to this one. It depends on the range. Close range: Litchi can pressure you really well. Pay attention to whether or not she has her staff when you score knockdown. Backdash and bait DP if she does. I like to hold on to 50 meter at all times in this area, so I can maintain the threat of OS Hotenjin in the corner or to dead angle if I mess up and up blocking. Be extremely cautious if you're gonna try to IB> Jayoku or throw out Jayoku in general. Litchi can cancel almost anything into Ittsu and hold that shit to bait it. Instant sadlife. If you get hit by her DP or she does a combo into DP, be ready to roll forward and Jayoku her if she tries to use Kokshi. Speaking of DP, she can use it to drop you out of the sky if you try to escape. If she does a 5D staff set you can use 2D to kill the staffs hitbox above you and get out. But that's very situational. Don't use barrier if shes in the air directly above you. J2D can cross up and make you do an attack if you're holding barrier. Litchi can use J2D to beat a throw attempt/ tech. She might try to use this after running directly into you. Always use throw OS and react to throw attempt to avoid TRM tactics. Kokshi kinda pulls you forward when blocking. So in the corner she can iAD over your head to make you eat it. Theres some silly good Daisharin mix ups she can do as well but that escapes me at the moment. Be ready to tech throw to stop your Dead Angle attempt. If shes got you up in the air in a Daisharin and you're on your last primer she might try to pink throw you before the last hit of Daisharin comes down as a reset. If you don't tech you eat damage, if you do tech Daisharin comes down and guard breaks you. Be ready to tech and barrier. Maybe airdash forward. If only I could play this well. I might actually win tournaments and stuff.

Against Hazama, if Makoto scores a hit from round start position you're gonna be in the corner. I tend to SJ Barrier to start. If she starts pressure with her back to the corner, expect a cross over reset. Her overhead reset has a telegraphed move before it. Watch for it.

Shoutouts to sleeping through this tournament. Sadlife ;-;

Trying to find someone nearby that isn't already in a full car. not trying to spend like $50 just getting up there. D= Virgil! Get hype! Though I'm definitely going to have to come up with a good Pheonix Wright team as well.

Trying to make it up still. I can't find anyone to ride up to NYC with me so I think I'm gonna take the buss. How easy is the place to get to from Chinatown?

。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
