Anyone want to play a west coast player? I'm getting rusty due to LoL. Hoping to get back in shape

GG's to everyone in lobby. It seems to be a common occurence that if I fight Eddie a lot, I forget how to fight against Millia and vice versa.

I believe that is their clash routine they'll use on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.

I think my friends list glitched out, I added everyone in my team and the TO, but nothing shows.

Neutral for this character requires patience, especially if characters are using spacing against you. When it comes to spacing characters like Jin, Litchi, Haku, etc, you do NOT want to challenge them at mid-range, you will lose. The idea is to gain enough ground to the point that they will have to deal with your pressure and eventual knockdown into orb oki. Once you get a knockdown, it's pretty hard for them to escape. j.C is pretty good at keeping them honest on the ground, but will lose to faster air normals. Try not to use this too close to your opponent or your landing recovery will let them punch you in the face, or worse, it will whiff because of the lack of hitbox directly under Kagura and still allow them to punch you in the face. j.B is much like j.C, great jump in, except this move covers all angles below Kagura. Good for cross-ups, jump-ins and doesn't have the landing recovery j.C has, but of course it's very poor for air-to-air. j.A has long horizontal reach, making it ideal for air-to-air. 5C, 2C are very long range pokes thats pretty good for catching backdashes, but due to slow start-up and recovery try to condition them into these. ie upon an opponent landing and you're outside of their midrange. 6D-C is good for covering a bit of ground and can beast through projectiles. Both your orbs are plus on block. A orb can be used mid blockstring to keep the pressure.

Alright I'm down.

Reminder for Novemeber 2nd this weekhttp://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?15918-November-2-2013-Rebel-Up-Super-Arcade-Blazblue-CP-Ranbats-%28GG-BB-P4-EXVS-ETC%29-Walnut-CA

What's the stance on having setups without all the characters in it (missing Kagura, Terumi, or Kokonoe). I'm not expecting them to be used for the tourney, but what about for casuals?

Am I the only one that laughed at Aigis using the suplex on Yu during the trailer?

Kagura catches a falling girl in his win pose. Wasn't it said he had an intro where he tossed a girl into the sky before the fight? Related?

20% chance I'll make this one

Except Tekken X Street Fighter is an actual game for better or worse.

Only 2 and a half hours? Thats worrisome.

Oh yea forgot to sign up for this. Signing up for BB and GG.

Welcome. To start off, you did very well blocking the projectiles and approaching slowly. When it comes to longer ranges, try using Optic Barrel to prevent her from lobbing lobelias and summoning stuff, if it knocks down then go hog wild. One thing about Rachel is that outside of Cat chair and proper use of wind, she has below average defensive options, so what you want to do is to stay within offensive range. I noticed you like to do 6B after a few pokes from 2A. Try not to do that too often because if read, you will lose your offensive advantage. Remember you have other normals you can use and they are arguably better than Rachel's. 2A alone gives her nightmares.

Playing for 2 days now without online experience and I'm still having trouble adapting to the system itself. Cant break 33% yet with my main, GL.

Throw me in for backup plz. For Dustloop. PSN: Raptor3789 (Naoto)

I would expect at least 1 new character to have importance in each scenario. Take for example the above: S7 = Bullet (has ties to them) Free Lancers = Amane (travelling circus man is all we know) NOL = Azrael (yes he has ties to S7 also, but to me he seems easy to sway as long as he gets to satiate his thirst for combat. Hazama could make use of that.)

I wanted Noel to be become stronger, but not like this. Why do I have this feeling she'll be super reliant on Mu's power? If she has to transform into a Murakumo just to save Tsubaki, I'm guessing her skills as regular Noel won't even put a dent on the opponent in future battles.

Shoutouts to Xie and others who made this tournament possible " to Redblack (Gato) and DragonLordZ for teaming up with me. We did good imo. " to AJ for being a cool guy irl, and giving me and Redblack a place to stay. " to Chou for showing us how Japan plays this game " to Stayfree for missing his astral, allowing me to astral him afterwards. " to having a very late dinner at Denny's with the SoCal crew. " fo me, Redblack and AJ having our own table at the Wynn buffet event thanks to fire safety issues. It's ok, we sail our own ship from SoCal and PNW. Much love though " to everyone that I have fought and talked to throughout the event. I always consider these things social gatherings first, tournaments second. I finally got to play against alot of people from DL that I had wanted to fight for quite some time. Because of you guys I now have a grasp at where my own skill level lies with the rest of the community and let me tell you, I could use alot of improvement. Till the next event, everyone.

Might be able to go now thanks to a new schedule change. Lack transportation however.
