Hey. Yeah man GGs. Some thoughts as I was playing the set: Generally, this is how I felt the games went. There are more details to cover but this summarizes both characters goals

Getting on in a bit...

I'm always down for some games, but only when my internet is up. @KentoHardRok: I mash Millia now and I always always need to work on my matchup knowledge on Sin. Add me on either PSN id: "glidesu" or "glirandly" GGs to all. Especially that juicychicken5 guy.

GGs to people that played me. Learned some cool Millia trix from all those Zato / Faust that came in the room.

c.S > Dauro is the usual string but... c.S > JI > Dauro might work for baiting bursts after c.S. I have not tested this yet but would not be surprised if it did work. For other things... I need to optimize Dust confirms as well... he seems to have a different Dust combo route in the air that ends with swords deployed at specific points before landing. @Killey: Sorry, I too have work hours to burn lol... I will test this meaty 2H when I do return home.

Loving it.

Just something I kept note of while watching the stream of the Ishiwatari interview... https://twitter.com/glidesu/status/622971554138226688 Jack-O and (some other character) is difficult to balance... I wonder who the additional character would be?

ggs ArisatoGod and SoulGuitarist I do not really have a character in this iteration I'm thinking of just playing simple characters this time :>

Saw my history and it was Triverr that I played. GGs man. @WaltzOfTheWolf: Sorry for laggy connection. I actually fixed it after that one match but it looks like it still wasn't up to scratch? (kept getting kicked). GG.

GGs to pink Azrael. Need to run more ft5 rooms.

Let's go... PSN: glidesu

Ramlethal getting more play with her sword setplay (Swordplay???) 4 states of Sword Settings: SH+ SH- S- H- Swords getting hurtboxes mean there is one more factor to consider when deploying swords: 1. Horizontal or Vertical sword attack? 2. Does losing that particular sword(s) put you at a disadvantage if you get put back into neutral? 3. Do I want a hurtbox near the ground (S-) or higher up in the air (H-)? Haven't seen any videos of the changes yet. If swords can be used as shields, then I think playing against Elphelt grenade will be less of a headache. Just thinking out loud. Don't mind me.

@Complexity: Yeah, I also feel the same way about the midscreen neutral issue. 2S/2H is really really strong. I'm surprised no one uses it more. Midscreen sword deploy is something to fall back on when big sword normals (2S/2H) get countered. Another alternative to sword setups are to just use plain ol' safe jumps :>

I suppose the change makes Dauro more of a punishing tool than something you throw out on pressure. I suspect the intended use is like... Example: Catch Ky doing an air Stun Edge, Chase backdashes, punish moves from farther ranges, etc. tl;dr Nothing new. It's just a bit riskier to throw out Dauro during pressure without any meter to RC/YRC.

ggs to lobby guys bgs to whoever quit out of Ram IK :<

geegees toranshi hell yeah I'm looking for Leo sets tonight. Let me know and I'll make a room.

GGs to people who stuck around for more than 1 game. 2 out of 3 seems standard fare.

I think Normal Yukiko is still the stronger of the two versions but Shadow Yukiko is too fun to not play. The loss of awakening and burst really hurts. In Shadow mode I think you just have to bide your time and get your damage all in one go. Heavily momentum based but extremely risky.

GGs ranked. Special shoutout to the Seth that invited me to a player match room. That's the spirit. The grind is tough but fruitful.

I am not sure which character you played but, a lot of stuff I do can be countered simply by playing more patiently than you think you should. GGs. I got lit up by some Seth, Carmine, and Gordeau (TSB 4th Seed da gawd)

ggs ugh hilda

ggs

GGs KBNova2, xXxGrindCorexXx, other dudes. I need to hitconfirm my 5C high counters better. So much damage missing.

GGs to Grendy. I still don't have a full grasp of Vatista neutral.
