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.

Sure. Just depends on when it is.

Honestly I never understood why a character with such good neutral and defense (plus tools for almost every matchup) even needed that much health in the first place. He had almost as much health as Kagura and Hakumen. Just didn't make sense to me.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

GGs to Healing Visions. Very good Azrael. Is it humanly possible to block crossup growler on reaction?

Well I have work during the day and am probably going to stay late a lot this week. I should be home by 8pm at least on most days. I'll add you so we can see when the other person is online. We live pretty close to each other, so hopefully our connection is good

Ggs Lunais777, and everyone else I played. That moment when you try to hit Bullet, but you forgot that she has lvl 2 drive.

Yes ranked will stay dead. The best place to find people are player match rooms and the online arcade lobby. You can almost always find someone to play there. I'll be on later at like 8pm eastern if you want to play. What do you say?

Yes GGs to you and Thai_MyShoes (I think that was his name lol), and everyone else I played as well. My connection was very unstable yesterday, don't know why. Even when it was very late at night it was still slow when there shouldn't have been many people on.

I was experimenting with mixup using an airdash that was very low to the ground and 2B. (Jump > land > 2B vs Jump > airdash an inch from the ground > j.C, basically) It seemed like I had to wait longer to attack when doing the low airdash vs an airdash that is higher off of the ground. Anyone else experience this? I know it's probably like that to stop jump mixup from being too strong. I just want to make sure I'm not insane, and that other people experience the delayed attack window as well.

Yeah that's right, double post! My boy Shado Onikkisu deserves his own post in the GGs thread. GGs Shado. I like how we had about the same number of matches played, same square, and same character lol. Oh and Ggs to the rest of Phantom Index's room too.
