So many possibilities. So much to fear. Still so many questions though. How late can you cancel, what else can you cancel into, etc.

@XBL thread: I feel a bit guilty when I break out Valk
Was gonna wait until CS2 to really learn him more but I'll break him out next time. Mostly trying to solidify my Mu, my Tager's pretty much hit a glass ceiling for the moment. Plus I'll have to relearn everyone when I switch to stick. Fun!
PS: Tager mirrors = 
PSS: World's only Mu who sucks vs Tager :vbang:
PSSS: You stole my Tager color, jerk :| or vice-versa -
Need help understanding basic fighting game fundamentals
Edalborez replied to bblader1's topic in Archive
Stop by the the Beginner Mode and Tager forums later for more in-depth help but as far as very general tips I recommend: 1) Learn what each of your normals looks like by heart. You don't want to be thinking HOW to do the move you want, just WHEN you want to do it. 2) Practice special move motions. Same as above. 720 motion will take more time so don't get sidetracked by mastering that first. 3) Learn how your normals gatling and link (safely or otherwise) into each other. You don't need to know all of them (stick with it long enough and you will anyways) but useful ones for Tager are like 6A 3C, 2B for off-the-ground pickup if the 3C hits. 4) Learn the very basic BnB combos. For Tager the most important is just his simple Atomic Collider combos, magnetized and unmagnetized versions, and anything short that leads into magnetism. 90% of the time the huge combo lists are just (various combo starters -> meat of the combo -> combo ender depending on how long the combo ran/proration). Your execution doesn't have to be perfect yet but you want to get on the right track first before... 5) Get out there and practice what you learned. The best way to solidify any of this is through lots and lots of practice. Also don't get complacent if one trick works many times in a row, always be willing to vary up your gimmicks when you develop them. 5b) Be patient. Tager is like a bear, slow but he mauls your face if you look at him funny. -
Considering the distance those matches weren't as laggy as I'd expected. GGs :3 Will have to do it again

Don't think there's a comprehensive list of finalized changes. I expect one will turn up in each character's forum (at least) within a week or so. From first impressions Ragna just seems different rather than (completely) nerfed. 6A no longer gatlings or cancels into anythng, even jumping, and only combos on CH. Dead Spike apparently floats more on hit which makes the "Dead Spike" loop possible and probably part of his new BnBs. Too early to say (especially for me since I'm hardly a reliable/knowledgeable source) but he'll likely stick to mid tier, B-ish. Just time to play the waiting game and see how the cards fall, I suppose.

Japan gives nicknames to Tsubaki's specials instead of the long names they have like Wings, Wind, Light and etc. I believe Wind is her 22A/B/C/D series. Not positive (running on translating katakana http://blazblue.jp/cs/images/special/BBCS_inst.pdf) but I can guess a couple j.214 - wings 214 or j.236 - light. not sure which. I see it in both. Don't know the rest of the abbreviations so I'd ask around the Tsubaki boards or someone who knows her JP lingo. Peace

What continuity of Storm wears that outfit? Not familiar to me. Didn't think Viper was that iconic of the SF4 newcomers. Would've thought of Seth or Rufus first. Just judging on looks though so idk. Don't wanna see these two are "boring" but not everyone can be beamspammers or whatever I suppose :x

To flesh out the meaning of "free" (saw a post of yours from the other day), it's short (I guess?) for "free money". Someone who's free that enters a tournament is just sweetening the pool money from the perspective of the guy who kicks their ass
"X (insert generally good player) looks pretty free right now" -> "X playing like crap" -
How long did it take -you- to get proficient with your main?
Edalborez replied to DemiiPoet's topic in Archive
CT Tager - About 6 months (starting from console release) to stop doing super stupid stuff all the time. Hovered at (below?) average skill up to the release of CS. First serious fighter. CS Tager - Less than a day to learn not to drop new combos. A week to get decent. Still, always looking to improve. CS Mu - A couple weeks for basics + zoning. Her combos just really clicked with me for some reason. Except 6A>6B juggle Still learning otherwise Proficient but by no means good. Not yet anyways. -
Could be wrong but it's been awhile since there was a real DS game. Ratings and views on ratings have kind of shifted over the years I suppose. Last one I remember is some PSP port/something a few years back. Course I've never played any games in the series so Also assuming Cross Edge didn't feature Jedah. EDIT: Oh dear I didn't think Jedah was that bloody... bloody. Wow.

Any way you slice it Jill Wesker and Chris are all either from RE1 or RE5 so yeah. I was going to say if anyone says SFI and SFII (Ryu vs Chun) are "different series" I'd punch them in the face but... Megaman is about the only series Capcom has represented right now that has different enough sub-series to make this kind of distinction. I doubt some people make that kind of argument for Dante + Trish or Felicia + Morrigan. The official site even lists just the first game in those two respective series anyways on their character pages. If anything it's strange there are 3 reps for RE (granted 2 not counting DLC) and only 2 for SF and X-Men, arguably the two most major factions of MvC (I dunno, X-Men vs SF was first right?). Not that I'm complaining really. Have they mentioned how ENG/JP voice select will operate? IE: either all one language or can toggle on a character to character basis? IF they're still including both that is, been awhile since I've heard JP voices in the previews. EDIT: I keep forgetting about Magneto when I think X-Men.

Ryu + Chun-Li Wolvie + X-23 + Magneto Dante + Trish Chris + Wesker (+Jill) Doom + Skrull (arguable) Morrigan + Felicia Tron + Zero (arguable) She + Hulk Dormammu + MODOK + Shuma? (No idea, arguable) If you meant MORE than two, sure. I'll admit "I want x character in the game" is getting old but that's being a little juvenile.

Shows how much I know All the better then!

Shuma-Gorath = yay. Chaos Dimension was always my favorite looking super in MvC2, albeit impractical use of meter I guess. Wasn't able to get into MAHVEL 2 due to multiple reasons (sucking, no competition, sucking) but 3 is looking nice now. Hopefully running Zero / Shuma / ???. Ammy Jill or Doom perhaps. I dunno.

Side note: I believe this was you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXUiE0eQ2fU Why so godlike Hakumen

In some matchups (Makoto off the top of my head) I use raw SoD as AA. It's certainly better when they are pinned by, say, 236D and the payoff isn't huge unless you score a lv 2 or 3 FC other than setting up more steins. Only problem is that it's at worst (lv 1) -10? on block. I have a video of me semi-trolling Ragna with it but I don't recommend it vs him or Haku especially. Pretty punishable on whiff as well. Basically what Zeromus said. It's probably better (safer) to just 6A, j.C, or 2C though.
-
Yeah on reviewing I don't know why I advertised myself as being patient. Blocked a lot but not always well. Close match =/= better. Just means I screwed up and got away with it. You could watch an earlier video for comparison but I don't think I'd ask anyone to watch anything worse than what I already posted. Forgot to neutral tech at first due to not remembering this matchup. I tend to fish for 5C AC more often than this also. That aside I appreciate the Lambda advice. Not knowing what to do (punishing backdash, baiting DP) means I can't practice it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TGVq0LCwJk 0:00 - 3:23 -- vs Rachel 9:47 - 14:00 -- vs Lambda Wanted a little feedback since I've kind of gotten a bit more patient in my playstyle, though it probably doesn't seem that way with so many unpunished BSledges. Stuff I know (too many bullet points): -I know I do 5C > 6C a lot, even on block/non CH. I tend to get CH 5C a lot so I fall into autopilot mode I guess. -j.2C like 50% of the time I tech in the air = facepalm. -Odd Sledge use vs Rachel was attempt at yomi punishing Lobelias. Except I suck at it. -Dumbass moment at 1:23. Should've confirmed 6C into Collider, instead wasted a Spark and let Rachel out of the corner. -I love my wakeup MTWs and MTW RC gimmicks. -2:11 Missed a good combo opportunity off of j.D CH. At least made up for it a second later. -Throw techs. Yeah. -2:50 Dropped 5C CH combo. -(Lambda) Need to punish Act Parsers on reaction. I usually just use Mu for this matchup though, that's my (bad) excuse. -Shouldn't have tried whiff MTW > Terabreak. Desperation moment. -Back roll in the corner -Not really a complaint but where the hell did all that meter come from in Lambda round 2? -Lets just say I'm trolling at the end of round 3 instead of doing completely dumb things with my meter for no reason. Why would I do that? Many of the dumb habits I fall into in these matches can also be somewhat explained by my playing a lot of matches with certain Rachel/Lambda players and being used to -their- habits.
