Yeah, ranked has been slow lately. It seems like everyone is off playing FF13, so that would explain it. Anywho, I will add you once I get on, hopefully we can get another room going like yesterday. xD

You still did great, playing against Ragna usually takes patience for me. x.x; I wait for a hole in their pressure game and go from there. Which was the case with both of them. Once you get used to his block strings it's pretty easy to fight Ragnas. A well placed fork or 5a can mean half of his life bar is gone in one combo. He was annoying, but he was a friend of a friend. >>; He kept throwing a hissy fit when I booted him, but oi...I really dislike players who are full of themselves. No matter the level, there should be some respect.

So I wasn't the only one that got caught off guard when Nu started using something besides D? Seriously, I got nervous too, I even dropped my BBL set up, which I kicked myself for. I wanted to at least win once match against him. Dude is amazing no doubt, hopefully I get more chances to play him, hopefully once I get used to an aggressive Nu, I won't spazz as much.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of Nus and usually I can read them pretty well. With Arcade, I had trouble keeping up. Usually I just focus on DDDDD and the Nu stays back. No biggie, I know the patterns as well as the Nu does, but when he started being very up close, I had no idea how to deal with it. &did you really, cool guy I hope? But amazing indeed either way.

I figured I would drop by and leave something. Like I said before, ggs, dude. Your Nu is something else, never seen one so, aggressive. xD It was fun. Hopefully we can play again soon. Mind if I add on XBL?

ggs, you were a beast. xD I think you went through the whole room.

Also, don't hesitate to join a room and if there isn't space, message me and I will make space. xD Hopefully I don't pull you away from your FF13 spree, but it would be nice to play again. &As for your message on live, I don't think anyone took that Jin seriously. He was a pretty good Ragna though, but his ice car trolling annoyed me to no end. >>; Wow, you were rusty? Your Rachel was still good.

... ;-; I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE TIME. Gah, no wonder you were clinging to the wall. xD I loled. Poor Noel.

I tend to abuse the fork, the risk is worth the reward. Especially against opponents like Tager or Nu and Ragna. You used the pumpkin far better than I did, really need to pull it out more to rush in.

ggs, bro. Hopefully we can play again soon and there are a few combos I noticed that I should probably pick up from you. xD

Oh no, not him. He's a nice guy, very good player. I meant that other Jin who played Ragna. >>; lol I should have been more specific.

Also, if that Jin pisses you off with his ice car spam tell me and he's gone.

I was gonna tell you before you left, but you went poof so quickly. I booted the jerk scrub, get back on if you want.

I figured I would just drop by and thank you for adding on live. xD When ever you finish with FF13, just message me and we can play.

As for Super Street Fighter 4, Dudley looks promising. I take it you're getting it? We should get some matches in too then. xD It should be plenty fun. I like your attitude, most people would just blame it on the top tier. Which does hold truth to it, but no need to feel down over it. Just makes you all the more awesome when you beat a top tier. Thanks, you give me too much credit, I get lucky most of the time.

Bro, you need to post on my page. xD I just noticed you posted here. Anyhow, I take it you're back from Final Round already, how did you do? Lucky, I've never been to major tournaments myself, only local ones and at my college. lol No need to be nervous, you can learn a lot from experienced players and you are a beast yourself, so hopefully you didn't think they were on a whole other level. My thoughts exactly, I have a friend in Nevada and was finally going to go, until I heard they took off Blazblue. I'm casual at SF4 because it's boring as heck. I play a good Bison and Sagat, but it doesn't appeal to me all that much, matches are usually boring. If there is no Blazblue, I'm sure as heck ain't going. Even if Wong and Daigo are there, I don't care.

From personal experience, it plenty difficult to get around the fork as Tager. Most Rachels(including myself) abuse it when they play Tager. While it's a risky option, it's pretty safe on Tager. Most Tagers tend to jump often as a counter measure for the fork. It may seem silly, but works pretty well. I think your best chance is waiting for Rachel to actually move in and then pulling an IB 360 on them. The fork is thrown out at mid-range, so once the loli corners Tager, I doubt they would find much use for it and simply continue to pressure. Pretty much, stay close, fork is far too slow to be useful if Tager is right in front. Staying mid-range will only make it easier for Rachel to just throw it out there, fishing for a counter hit. xD Also, I loled at you invading the Rachel threads, I have no idea why.

Nice, I'm jealous. I just got a TE Madcatz stick last week, working on getting used to it. Where did you get your stick from? Sounds like it would be rather expensive. xD I'm guessing you got to choose your own art too?

Seriously? That sucks, I thought most sticks had a mic input. What kind of stick do you have?

You sir, need a mic. DX ggs last night, it was fun. We were totally pro with our Hakumen and Tager, right?

Too lazy to reply on live, plus character limit. Sure I can teach you Rachel, just give me a couple of weeks to adjust and I should have the ball rolling. It's a huge pain in the ass, but being able to eventually cancel j2c in between combos is worth it. Though I must admit, I've been tempted to just go back to an xbox remote out of frustration. Anywho, while am at it, I could learn Jin. xD

I figured a good player like you would have an account here. Anywho, ggs last night. I meant to mention that after our matches, but got distracted. x.x; But my god, I got pwned badly. I really need to work on this particular match up. I really didn't know what to expect going into it, aside from a few things. You have an amazing Arakune regardless and I was hoping you could help me get some match up experience. If you don't mind me adding you on XBL that is?

>>; Tager misses pwning panda bears.

I take it you haven't played too many Rachels recently? From what you've said, it just seems like you need to get her block strings down to find the best time to IB into a 360. Considering Rachel's mixup game is so damn string, I can understand why it's tricky. x.x; When you do learn it will be a pain, considering it will be hard to pressured without the fear of getting a 360 or 720 out of it. Regardless, we will get some matches in once you have gold back. Also, gg on that first match you had uploaded in the BBvlog, just watched it. xD Poor Nu.

Nice, what's Final Round XIII anyway? You mentioned it before, but I live nowhere near where it's being held, so can't go. I wanted to go to EVO however, but Blazblue was taken off the list. What the heck am I gonna play, SF4? Tigertigertiger. Anywho, I'm glad to hear that. You had very few problems to be honest, only reason I won last time was because, well, Rachel is god tier. As for the Rachel stuff, just trying to work in her j2c in between combos, but other than that, pretty good. Planning to go to AI and try CS again, but Rachel depressed me the first time.
