At Youmacon, Hopefully my Jubei will get here on same day delivery, and I'll get some pictures for you. I'll keep an eye out for other Blazblue/Guilty Gear related cosplays though.

Yeah.. I think that was a deviantart fanart for the first game.. Wishful thinking though. My Wishlist: (4's already been done, so we won't be seeing that) 5 - Gilgamesh, no question. Wouldn't be opposed to Faris in a different class. 6 - Locke. Or Celes. 7- Red XIII. It'll NEVER happen, but I'd be the happiest person alive if this happened. 8 - Seifer for a Squall rival, and Rinoa alongside. 9 - Vivi. Wheres the magely love? X - Auron would be totally badass here. Seymour/Yuna would also be ideal. XI - Don't look at me, I don't play this. XII - Chances are we're gonna probably see Ass Bandit here because he IS the main character.. even though I'd rather see Ashe. XIII - Snow, maybe? And some other wishes: Ramza Beoulve, Agrias Oaks, and Delita as Ramza's opponent.

And I miss CT CS2! I'm gonna like that its coming back in. Fun-ness is all about Tao, IMHO. Also, one of these days I need to get around to uploading vids of my gameplay or something. I fear something is severely lacking because I just got wrecked in mirror last night.

This befuddles me. So basically the one thing that kind of makes Tao.. Tao, is irrelevant now? I understand a fair bit of the buffs they gave her.. but isn't Taunt Loop her primary form of assault? I don't really see anything else on that list that they made better barring health that would change her assault. I'm still only mediocre with Tao, so I'm not completely unignorant. Enlighten me!

Got a question for the Tao vets. I've been finally managing to utilize some TL into my game play (at long last.. got a friend into a 17 last night), but there was another thing bothering me when I was watching film recently, and I know it would help against the lighter weight characters (Litchi/Carl) I was noticing in a few games where you would normally j.2D~6, J.236BBBBB an opponent to finish a combo, that some times there was j.2D~6, J.236B, J.2D~6, J.236B,J.2D~6,J. 236BBBBB. How the HECK do you do that? Is there a timing thing on that? It seems like so much input to put within 2-3 seconds.

Any idea how quickly this is gonna fill? I have the day off, but I need to confirm carpool with SSF4 players in Canton to confirm I'm going. @stick, I'm pretty sure there is only one airport in Columbus, and its only about 15 minutes from the venue IIRC.

Nice Ragna sword! Looks akin to what my friend's been putting together the last month. Really awesome!

Also don't forget that Carl is slowly losing his own mind to Nirvana as well due to the strains of the Nox, which also biases him quite a bit. For all we know, his own memories of his sister are decaying along with what morality she might have once had. Also, Nirvana could have just attacked Noel as a defensive mechanism for what Carl saw to be Nu in the previous game. He had a flashback of Nirvana being destroyed from his bad ending, and we don't know what Nirvana is allowed to know. Perhaps she just saw Noel as Mu-11, and was like WHOAMG PROTECT CARL.

Is it normal to be discouraged like this when a new game comes around? I'm playing Tao right now and it seems way different to play her than usual. I'm well aware that drive loops are much less important (People can TECH out of these now?!) and the execution of CS2 is even more difficult now. The videos I'm watching show to finish off with CS2 from an A-cancelled j2d which seems very hard to pull off. Also. Taunt Loops are techable after 2 taunts? Is there any way to make that last longer?

For those who've done Kaka-clan hoodies before. What did you use for fabric? My sister will likely be starting on mine for Jubei soon and I'm unsure of what to use. Girlfriend is using fleece for her specific but its already gonna be hot enough wearing my cosplay. I'm not against fleece, but just curious if there might be a better type of fabric.

We had a few out of staters rooming with us at Ohayocon, but we knew they were staying with us. All of them were really cool the entire weekend, had no issues with messes, money problems, etc. Also.. Barberton? you're like 30 minutes from me. xD

^ How many absences I have depends on who my teachers are. Some are very strict on the 2 unexcused then take off points after. I'd only be missing 2 classes through the whole day as all of my classes are in the morning. We'd just leave in the afternoon. I don't know how many of those with me will want to miss classes though. (Though some of them don't even schedule Friday classes. Mine was just a necessity) I've only been up to Michigan for one particular instance, and it wasn't in Detroit. It was in the Ann Arbor area. Its about a 4 hour drive for us from the Akron area and we're taking two cars (I have two cosplays I'm doing, friend of mine has his gigaton sword and his cosplay, my sister and her friend are doing cosplay and we have to pack like 7 people in between 2 small Honda's. xD) Gonna be fun though. Haven't done any con's outside of Colossalcon and Ohayocon.

I would only be missing my Friday classes. I'm taking classes all 5 days a week next semester but there's only two of them every day. (Two MWF's, Two TuTh's) And I figure if I don't miss much of any classes all semester that I can skip this one. Amusing thing is, the group that I'm going with all go to the same school I do, so we're all likely to just be skipping Friday. Lets just hope theres no exams this day.

Assuming your con has a no-metal policy, wood is the way to go from what I've been seeing. Friend of mine is prepping up his cosplay as Ragna for Youmacon (I date secrets up there) for our Blaz group and he is about to put the finishing touches on his sword. Absolutely gigantic and the detail on it is amazing. He has his pictures set to private on Facebook or I'd show you how it looks. I plan to go the same route for Musashi (Yes, I'm cosplaying Jubei, leave me alone) but he also had help with the woodwork since his friends dad is very good at woodworking. He pretty much just painted it and voila. And by Gigantic, I mean I tried lifting it when he showed it to me the first time and I barely could do that. Watching my sister attempt to lift it was even more humorous because the weapon is almost taller than she is (she's 4'11''), and it seems very well proportioned for a guy who is 6'6''. But yeah, we'll be at Youmacon. I seriously hope to debut my Jubei, and I will definitely be there with the Ragna and Tao above. We wanted to get more in our group (Get my sister and her friends to do the NOL trifecta) but that might have to wait for Ohayocon.
