How long will you be around tonight? Because I work in an hour and don't get off until 9:30. /Mountain Time so I'm ahead of you/ I'm so down for fighting you when I get home.

I have work at 6:00 but I get off at 9:30 as well. So we can do some games after work.

Sounds good. This'll be good for the both of us then. I've been working hard since the last time we faced. That and for Extend I promise to play more characters. More characters being Hazama, Relius, Jin and Noel having my interest for now.
For now though...just Ragna. lol

I got out of class early, so I'm on right now. My gamertag is Rhapsody R
Oh ok cool. I'll stuff this late lunch sandwich in my face and join you in 15 or so.
EDIT: K on, sent friend request
Hehehe, this is why I wanted to play you really badly.
I have ZERO Rachel experience and that needed to change.
EDIT: Hahaha, playing these matches I'm realizing how much of a spazkid I am playing this game... WHAT ARE OVERHEADS AND HOW DO I DOES AS PLATINUM
Well you should have more than enough to talk about now lol, feel free to pick from the myriad of things I do wrong constantly
It feels like once I pick up this game I throw all the stuff I already know out the window and start going spazoid no matter how unsafe the strings are lol
(and then when I'm done it's like I just got shot XP)

GGs. I hope those random mami circulars and midscreen command grabs were just lag tactics XD.
Tips I could give you is don't be so predictable with Platinum. Start of the match if you had a cat item, you'd press D. Every time you had a bat, you relied on reversal and you'd use all three of them while I stood there. Be careful on mashing on wakeup since I saw you mashed wakeup bubble once. On blockstrings, be careful on how you end them. Those delayed mami circulars got me, but generally you should pressure with 5A, if you ended your blockstring with 5C, do 3C into bubble or something.
Also don't roll and hop so much on wake up. I knew the wakeup jump was coming which was why I did 5B 5D into Astral. Also be careful on starting the round. The majority of the time you'd do something weird. lol
Stuff I liked was your spacing with the cat, missile, and bomb items. Those gave me problems when I was Rachel, that's for sure.
Other than that, that was fun. I just wish our connection was better.
I had a tough time doing Rachel combos today so I switch around. I noticed that I have problems keeping opponents grounded today in our matches.

We should play too if you're down tonight. Hopefully I can get out early tonight and maybe I'll see how you play. I could give you some pointers.
@ Mami Circulars. Nope, I'm just bad lol. I don't know how to do 236C overhead things yet, so whenever I was stymied I kind of just filled the gap with a Mami Circular. I didn't really want to most of the time since you'd just block it anyways if you're already blocking, but I kept defaulting to it even though it was easy to punish. Same sort of goes for when you noticed I just burned through my items on your shield (though sometimes I was just intentionally stalling for the next item set and it was safer to keep you locked down than to try and 214D)
Delayed Mami Circular however is usually intentional. And weird stuff on startup is just the way I'm wired but at least it's confusing to other people... I'm trying to stop doing so much terribad stuff and actually think about things instead but often I zone back out.
And yeah, I saw myself push out bubble on wakeup by accident like 3 times... DX
Do you have any suggestions of what TO do on wakeup with no bat (and it's hard to fault me for just hitting bat when I had it for wakeup... it hit you 9/10 times) instead of rolling and hopping around like a derp?
Same goes for ending blockstrings, the whole rushdown thing is pretty much all new to me. In the old days I could just sit and midrange zone with Litchi and wait for them to come to me from the wrong angle. I can't do that with Plat anymore and I'm still bad at it.
I saw you pop a bubble that caught my neutral tech once or twice in our mirror matches off the midscreen BnB's. Was that just 214A after 22C?
@Kuarado: I'd be moar than happy to... just let me detox from my frantic spar with Minato. Playing Blazblue too hard makes my nerves go to hell...

I tried to safe jump during the bat reversal but failed each time 
. I do reversal bat too with my Platinum, but be careful on it. It actually leaves you on a frame disadvantage. Honestly, that and her super are her only reversal options so her options are pretty bad compared to someone like Ragna, Jin, or Mu. All you can do is neutral tech and block. It's safer to block on wake up and counter assault. Bat is good to just make your opponent respect your wake up. Unfortunately, it's predictable since you can only do it if she has the item
For rushdown, definitely do 5A. It gives her plus frames on block. So you can jab, jab, pause, jab and they'll be scared pressing a button since you can counter hit them. I like mixing it up with 5A, 5A, 2369C jB for that quick overhead or even doing a command grab instead if they're going to die.
As for the last part, I did 3C 214B. I did it because you kind of over mash your techs. Neutral tech gives you invincibility until you land, so that means the bubble hit you because you pressed a button after the tech.
FYI, If you want to end a midscreen Platinum combo with 3C 22C, a dirty trick you can do is dash 2A when they're neutral teching. If you do it right, you slide under them which should make them block wrong.

Alright, cool beans all the way. I'll definetly have to try that dash 2A trick out.
I think for now my priority is to work the Swallow Moon overheads into my game without screwing up everything I do lol.
I'm pretty sure I'd do less random Mami Circulars for sure then.

I might do only some BB tonight. But not much since I'm kind of enjoying Soul Calibur as well.
And now that I think about it, hit confirming is my biggest problem with Rachel. It's kind of the source of everything since I usually do the wrong follow up, waste wind, throw in too many 5B 2Bs, etc. Now I just have to fix that.

I'm noticing that Tao doesn't really get the combo video love.
I'm a little sad.
Oh, two more siliconera articles about BB's art if you want to check them out.

So I recently just got BBCS1 for $15. If anyone wants to play that old game with me, I'm free. literally.

In case you didn't know, CS2 is just the balance update that it'll make you dl to play online with the CS1 disk anyways... congrats, you're up to date for another 4~5 days!
Also @ Rutger: man I'm EATING UP those BB art articles. They're so delicious and moist.

.... I'm tempted to take you on. In old school BBCS style. BUt I gotta wait to take on Minato too.
ShatteredSound (PSN)
Yep I believe so. You just can't be on ranked with it. (but I've never actually tested)
And how! :D
(though the Ragna vs Litchi MU was still pretty even)
And yeah I'm not 100% sure it's possible online either, but at least you can change it offline.
@Spelt: I'll hop on. I'm looking to break all my bad habits and stop being so scrubby in general before Extend hits.
It's into the hyperbolic time chamber of BB fo' me. XP
Lolno, but you've gotta try anyways.Okay.
I don't think you'll be able to break ALL of your bad habits in less than a week but any improvement is always welcome!
If I can successfully overhead as Plat by the time EX hits I'll be more than satisfied

Ya know what? I think we can play online so long as both of our versions are the same. While we wait for Minato, I'm down for playing old school CS1. Jdietz I'll hop on now. lol

Mu is one matchup I still have no idea on what to do.
Edit: Jdietz, don't do that long combo after a throw. They're just going to tech out of it. Just Mami Circular after the bubble.

NOPE
4k calls to me... and one day the internet gods will shine on me and it will red beat online. I had it on Kuraudo until I sj'd back instead of forward
I get destroyed by mu's on ranked all the time.
