OH MY GOD this happens at Nickel City every year?!?! I'm really excited I love GG and although I really wish Aksys would release an online update I appreciate that people like you will make the commitment to organize something like this out of sheer love for the community I'll just be entering for GGAC under the name Jimmy- when I get eliminated will you be running casual matches as well? I'd be sad if I didnt get to play for very long ;_____; especially because bridget is my main

Damn that was super helpful, thanks guys!

As a pad player I recently "switched to stick" by using the analog stick on the Ps2 controller and changing dust from R1 to R3 so that I can put my right hand over the buttons. For the past couple of days I had been unsuccessfully trying TK HCL FRC airdash on non JC-able slashes (2HS, 2S) because I didn't realize TK doesn't work with these... as I continued to tighten up my timing I tried on a 5HS and sure enough, I've got it. I thought you folks would find that funny. However, I'm not sure how the JI works exactly... I don't wanna be constrained to going from only 5HS or 5K... anyone wanna help me expand my options?

Oh boy... more questions. Jais, I noticed in this match against Baiken that you use FB Roger Rush after a 5 set and, at 2:27, Baiken's c.S and 2S seem to be blocked by Roger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIAzK6ghpbE&feature=related What are the defensive properties of FB Roger Rush? Does it simply nullify all attacks that pass through Roger?

Thanks! That was extremely helpful. Playing Bridget is making me very happy- he operates on very ethereal terms... nothing seems to be set in stone. Another question- I notice that, for the most part, when Ruu sets up successful unblocks he is using 2d FRC at the maximum distance (for optimal frame advantage I'd assume). Usually the setups for him feel more incidental (f.S~2D~FRC, then a 9-set Roger Get after landing Come Back, or off of some other impeccably spaced poke), but I have found that doing this combo will consistently give you the proper spacing for the earlier 2D FRC: 5K~c.S(2)~2S~2D~FRC, where depending on how close you are when you hit with 5K you can delay the input between 5K and c.S to allow the proper amount of pushback to act on you and the opponent. What do you think of these 2D unblock setups? They aren't discussed in the Unblocks thread but they seem to be one of the most effective and tension efficient ways to setup that Roger Get... not to mention the far 2D FRC is much easier to pull consistently.

Dear Jais; First off, let me say that I've just started using Bridget (I've been playing GG since GGX and mained HOS since Slash but decided it's time for a change) and your guides and match videos have been extremely helpful. I don't think anybody could ask for a better resource than someone who is just as good as Ruu. Anyhow, do you think you could discuss Yo-Yo placement? As in which toss is good for which situation, or which toss tends to create certain situations? It definitely seems like you can place the Yo-Yo aggressively to continue pressure or defensively to continue poking and zoning, but tossing in the wrong direction at the wrong time is a big problem for me as a beginner.
