Netplay community is in full swing with people either straight up snubbing me or playing once, taunting, then running away. So, anyone want to do some sets for awhile? I just want to play the damn game. That would be great.

GG's to people today.

Scrub I hate you so much when I play you, but once we're done, I love you. GGs

Anyone want to do some sets? I want to get some games in before I work on my paper and the lobby is like all jap. West coast wake up.

GG's lobby and MrBlaz

Well today I discovered I have no idea how to deal with Amane and got bodied harder than I've been in a while. Absolutely baffling. But on the bright side I got away with multiple cases of highway robbery. Never give up. GGs lobby.

I love how easy it is to read TD's posts in Rachel's voice. Also, is anyone up for some sets? I don't feel like sleeping tonight, but I might anyway. Some brutal sets would help me make a decision.

GG's Scrubplayer

I can block her as well as I can block Tao, which isn't much.

Amazing games today. GG's lobby. Shout outs to Araragi_Kyon and LeDelphinus for being my most fun sets. Super challenging fights, but ones I was able to adapt and learn in. Soooo many robbed rounds! Started using CT more in my Relius play, though, and that feels like a pretty obvious, but great improvement.

GGs to people while I was sober. I'm drunk now, so pre-GGs before I get salty over stupid shit. Utter nonsense.

GGs to lobby. Wish I had saved more of those Tager matches, would've been great to look over. Oh well.

GGs to people in ranked and lobby today

GGs to lobby people. Sorry, wow for going only after a couple of games, I need to go walk my own doge. I'll be back after that, though, so if you want to actually play, we can do it then. Silly fucker. GGs again, mostly to ziggy for like that 30 game set

Some Valk info would be great. So far, we just have that new OH, but then don't even know the command for it. Thanks.

Hazama what did they do to you?! Actual proper nerfs?! But then again, people cry that every time, and he still ends up being top 5 at least. But then again... one chain? One hell of a blow to mix up thanks to lack of normal cancels into stance? I mean, the damage still sounds like it might be good, but the tools! The tools! Where have all the tools gone?!

Well, with how much meter Terumi can have, I don't think it'll be too bad if it's like Haz's 6A. Just rapid to make it safe or cancel into one of the stomps to force a 50/50, if you're feeling lucky.

GGs to people in Phyre's room. I split early cause some of the lag was beginning to frustrate me. Lime, we also planned on playing around this time, too. If you're out there, I'm waiting. Send me a message on PSN or something, or I guess meet me in the 20th city in the lobby on level 1. I'm rolling for items lol. GGs goodtimelime

Well the Izayoi holds more plot significance than belt buckles. Could be nothing, or it could be a thing. I haven't beaten CP's story yet, so I don't know what happens to Tsubaki (yet), but maybe the plot people could speculate on that craziness. I can dig it.

WSF going is very ok with me. The only thing fun about it after CSE are random dumb CH's for that hilarious ground bounce. I'm guessing the new move will have similar utility, so, neat. What is really interesting is being able to cancel Jagai into stance. I mean, we saw it in the trailer, but as I said, I wasn't sure if the follow up was ressenga only or stance as well. But, if that's the case, then oh boy. Even more stance shenanigans. Maybe it's meant to streamline mid-screen combos so we don't need to micro-dash so much? No more 3C>214~66B, 5A> stuff and instead just do Jagai into like zaneiga and then stuff. I wonder, too, if maybe stance moves will have different properties if done after Jagai. That's probably not the case, but they seem to be trying to emphasize stance stuff more so who knows?

You start with 3 stock. Any follow up after tossing a chain uses a stock. Hitting the opponent gives you one stock. Stocks come back while on the ground and come back quicker the less you have.

GG's to the good folk tonight.

I think so, unless unforeseen circumstances.

Yes. Also GG's to people. Some of you guys are real sports for putting up with my scrubbiness and others for trying so hard to win. It's good to see the determination and people respecting such determination.

Idiot Hazama Main observations by me The lack of number/meter by the chain icon probably just means they're not sure what to do with it yet, so decided to not reveal anything yet. Personally, I like how it is, but realistically it could probably be toned down a bit still. Maybe the same as in CPE's but one less stock? The standing stagger special seems... weird. I'm not really sure why it exists, if we consider the Hazama we've had. Obviously it could mean a lot in the context of that game, but with how I know Hazama it just feels unnecessary. There have been plenty of mid-screen things we could do before without the need for such a move, and if anything, it seems like it's giving him too many options. I mean we see him do Ressenga afterwards, so I'm left wondering what other stance moves we can do after it, and what that could also imply. Can't tell if he actually does go into stance after using it, though, the Ressenga comes out too fast for me to tell, so maybe someone else can offer their wisdom on it. However, Ressenga doesn't seem to currently have the ground bounce it does in CPE, so maybe it's gone back to it's old ways, or maybe that's a result of using it after the stagger special. Super speculation territory. His new DD reminds me of his unlimited DD from CSE (dunno if it's in CP still. Haven't looked.) Just instead of the kick you get a knife cut at the end. Neat. Overall? Unless Hazama gets some significant other changes, he might still be a super strong char with a lot of options that lets him do whatever he wants. I'm just going by what I see, what I currently know about the character, and his history. And his history suggests lol top 5 4ever. Edit: Also his portrait, while better than CP's, is kind of silly. How he's holding the knife just seems dumb to me. Nothing's beaten the simplicity of CS yet.
