BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend Tournament - Deadline for 2nd round matches 5/20/12

[Lythium]

Kuraudo, the trick to beating Platinum is to not respect anything she does.

 

[Crusayer]

I like how that advice is exactly what the main thread is talking about for platinum.

>Play as platinum
>Mash buttons
>Play against platinum
>Mash buttons more than platinum

 

[Kuraudo]

Not against Minato. I try poking Platinum and she pokes me first. Unless I go in with 2A or 5A. LOL

 

[Lythium]

Ragna should be able to outpoke Platinum, though I guess it depends on what she's poking with. And Platinum can't do much if you're pressuring her.

Ragna doesn't need to respect Platinum because he's got the best DP ever, and he builds heat like a mofo.

I'm too scared to DP in 0 connection. When I did try, I just got wrecked by Minato. LOL It wouldn't come out quick enough before I got hit.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, that's fair.

I know that feel.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Minato? Platinum? AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

I mean....let's see. Platinum full of disrespect, I randomly disrespect everybody even things I SHOULD respect...Ah yes, this shall be messy.

 

[Kuraudo]

All I can tell you is this. Take advantage of online. Overhead overhead overhead vs Minato. Gauntlet Hades kept on working.

...

And yes I know it would not work so frequently offline. LOL

 

[Crusayer]

How do you get a 0 connection with Minato when I get a 2?

Minato blocks like all my overheads /o\.

And all my grabs.

Pretty much everything. ._.

I'm surprised too. For the most part we'd get through most of our combos, but there were a lot of drops. Minato techs most of my grabs, but my overheads keep getting through.

Needless to say, it's gonna happen. One of these days I'm gonna get to fight him offline and see what really happens. I am on fire and can consistently pull off Blood Kain combos in the middle of matches now. It feels awesome to do. And hey, what better place to do it then online? All the more practice.

 

[Minato]

Yeah, Gauntlet Hades was really hard to block that connection. And even after I blocked it, it was a guessing game on if you'd do the follow up or not. If I guessed wrong I'd get hit or I couldn't punish it in time.

As for throws, I'd say some of my techs had to be guesses.
I had some throw reject misses here and there.

 

[arturefo]

my stick just arrived.now i can play whenever you want,liseph and dualseeker.

 

[Minato]

Livewire, let me know whenever you have time to do our set. Friday through Monday works best for me, but anything is fine to be honest.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Livewire, let me know whenever you have time to do our set. Friday through Monday works best for me, but anything is fine to be honest.

So sometime over the weekend then? That should be fine.

 

[Lythium]

When's the deadline for this round of matches?

Raz, I can play you pretty much whenever.

 

[Raziek]

You can just drop me out of this, I'm super-busy with other ****.

 

[Rutger]

GGs Sephiroth, I'm glad the lag decided to show up after the tournament matches.

And I'm glad that Relius' combos are really easy and that a couple months off didn't really hurt at all. Though I never did finish my corner combo. :/

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I got off a few combos, but I really wasn't consistent. Good job and good luck!

 

[Kuraudo]

So Rutger, we fight next? Some time this week sound good? Also I'm still waiting on the 360 side of things.

 

[Rutger]

Want to try and get our match done sometime today or tomorrow Kuraudo?

 

[Lythium]

Crusayer, I should be free all weekend as well, if you want to get our matches done.

 

[Crusayer]

Well my comp is totally filled with comp parts atm. If I can get things cleaned out today, we can play on Sunday.

 

[Kuraudo]

Want to try and get our match done sometime today or tomorrow Kuraudo?

Sure! I'm ready whenever really. Just gimme a PM and I'll set it up. When we start did we want one quick warm-up match to get used to the connection and then the next 2/3 matches are the set?

 

[Rutger]

GGs, Kuraudo, I don't know what happened at the end there.

Kuraudo wins 2-0

I don't know what to do vs. Ragna.

 

[Kuraudo]

Good games, Rutger! Yeah I don't know either. Either way I'm down for playing any time. I'm back to watching EVO though.

You were catching on to something when you Fatal Countered me a couple of times when I was coming in from the air. Ultimately against Relius I gotta respect your space which was why I just didn't go in with rushdown and played footsies. For me I think you gotta try and lock me down in guards. I can Inferno Divider but it's harder in the online setting to do. That and confirming off your combos. THat's all you gotta do.

It was fun regardless. I needed that to keep me up to speed when I go to Japan and play in the arcades. ...even though most people will be playing Persona 4 anyway. LOL

 

[Rutger]

Yeah that sounds good. My Relius is lacking because I haven't been playing BB that much lately, I can't believe I messed up those simple combos after the fatal counters. :/

I may be out of the tournament now but I'll try to get some more matches in with people, at least until P4A comes out and becomes the only thing I play for the next several months.

 

[arturefo]

dualseeker won the unlimited tournament.

 

[Kuraudo]

Wait wait wait did I even compete in the 360 tournament? The Unlimited one?

 

[Lythium]

I like that no one has any idea what's going on anymore.

 

[Kuraudo]

Can I just go to Grand Finals with Dualseeker in 360? LOL

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

If Arturefo doesn't want to play against the loser of you and Dualseeker then that's fine.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I like that no one has any idea what's going on anymore.

[John2k4]

Bump; I saw the giftcard on my desk today, and realized that there are two "Normal" tourneys going on, and I have one gift card. I might have to do a random pick of the two winners if I can't find something to add in. =(

Sorry about that

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I'll pitch in lol.

 

[John2k4]

Seph I don't want you filling in for something I goofed on. I really appreciate it, but I'll find a way to get things straightened out when the time comes. =P

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

No it's k, I have NO problem with that.

 

[LivewiresXe]

And uh, I'm pretty sure I faced Minato and he won.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Alright I'll give it an update.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Cool, tourneys are both waiting on one match each, then it's just straight forward from there.
