I remember when BB was lauded for being very balanced with miniscule differences in strength between tiers...*sigh* But there's no need to get caught up in perfection. Precise balance changes would be good, no doubt...but it's not necessarily vital for the health or longevity of the game. If that were true then games like Smash Bros Melee, Melty Blood, and Street Fighter 2 would have died long long ago. Tournament level play is usually dominated by a handful of top-tier characters anyways, that can't be changed. However, if you are getting trashed by every random Nine and Izanami you fight, then you probably just haven't put in enough time yet. Most players don't TRULY know how to abuse their BS (or even have good fundaments). This was very noticeable when tons of new Xbox One players came in. Of course the player base was noticeably worse than the Playstation users with 5+ years of experience under their belts...Even after a year had passed.

Hmm...that sounds interesting. I'd be willing to drop $100 into the pot for the winning team if we can find someone to stream this and get enough players. Should we do 5 v 5?, 10 v 10?, or more v more???

Yes I think drawing the line halfway between the CS series makes sense, seeing as CF newcomers haven't had much time to learn anything lol. That gives us 6 iterations. CT, CS1, CS2, CSEX, CP, CPEX. Splitting it CT, CS1 vs CS2, CSEX, CP, CPEX or CT, CS1, CS2 vs CSEX, CP, CPEX. Are the only ways that seem to make sense. But we could also do CT vs CS vs CP.

I use Linux on my laptop and have a Windows phone. Discord doesn't have an app for either of them...

GGs to quag, CROWNBAR, FrostDeity, DarkEdge, UriWoz, HedgeSledge, iHeartV2, and everyone else I've played. I haven't seen Hedgesledge since CS2 lol. I swear we need to do an old school vs new school tourney. It would probably be more entertaining than the Dustloop vs Gamefaqs one we did lol.

GGs to "Giant Claw Guy." You bopped me pretty good that set lol.

So it's Tsubaki Astral 3.0?

Ggs to everyone I played yesterday. I apologize for my disgracefulness TD and "GIANT CLAW guy"; day one on stick is suffering. Oh and GGs to NimiSora, who may or may not be a Nemesis alt. Either way...I still got creamed lol.

Yes. Everyone needs a meterless, frame 1 invincible, unblockable reversal that knocks your opponent to the other side of the screen. And the the reversal needs to have 90+ active frames and the hitbox has to take up the entire screen so that there's no way to bait it or dodge it. Because god forbid we actually encourage people to block on wakeup. Anyways, being setup heavy isn't really a bad thing. Even if the mixup is unreactable you still have a 50/50 chance of correctly blocking it and sending your opponent back to the "pressure" stage. And tell your friend that everyone gets about 1 Burst per round and most characters have 50 meter reversals (not to mention Blitz). You have options to say no to wakeup shenanigans, you just don't have infinite ammo when using these options.

So...what is everybody doing for blockstrings? She seems to get pushed out very quickly, so I've been having some trouble coming up with frametrap pressure strings since most people are pushed out of your reward range after like 2 hits. Plus the fact that you have to respect reversal throw means that you can't just run up in people's faces. My pressure is god-awful, but I've been using Stuff > (Gap) > 5H > 2H if they blocked. You can also leave a gap between 5H and 2H if you input 2H as her palm slaps the ground. FD destroys this though and I'm finding it hard to hitconfirm if they don't block on wakeup since the hitstop on 5K is so little..

Raven can go die in a fire. Salty GGs to the Raven Army I've been fighting online.

>2016 >Not being able to discuss ideas without subtly insulting each other >Stay classy Dustloop If I recall, this same "She's OP," "No she's not, you're just reacting too quickly," debate happened with Nine's daughter too. People were arguing up until the point when Pain swept through a major with his eyes closed. Also, obligatory double post because mobile...

What they really need is a special "broadcast" cab that displays all of its matches on a giant screen in the back of the arcade lobby. Or at least an option to spectate a cab if you see two really good players going at it.
