>"should have been playing more extend"
>doesn't join extend lobby

lel Livewire.

Silly Lythi, my friend's lobby was an Extend lobby too. But seriously, I probably should have stuck around in there a bit instead of leaving after like a minute, which I'll do if they ever decide to remake the room and do it again at a later date since I probably could have gotten a lot of different character experience from it instead of just vs Platinum and vs Ragna stuff that I tend to run into anyway. It kinda might have been good for UMAD training.

 

[Kuraudo]

It was fun. After the room closed up I played a whole bunch of Ragna mirrors with XDest. We did an Inferno Divider ladder mid-match. It was beautiful. ..and hilarious.

 

[Minato]

Anyone want to play? BB, GG, P4A tourney tomorrow for me so might as well cram.

Also for those that forgot, ArcFes Last Chance Qualifier is tonight at 8:30 PST iirc.
It'll be streamed here http://www.twitch.tv/godsgarden

 

[LivewiresXe]

I've been on, but I've been having weird internet problems playing BB. And crap, the Last Chance Qualifier is tonight? Gah, it doesn't start till 11:30 here and I'll be out all weekend, oh well.

 

[Minato]

Ah, no worries. I'm still on and doing BB. I forgot how to play this game...

 

[Kuraudo]

Ohhhhh myyyyyy gaaaawd soooooo slaaaaoooowwwww....

 

[Minato]

Me hosting 3 Canadians was a bad idea lol. Plus my internet is acting up it seems like.
I have to go eat dinner anyways, so GGs.

I told you I can't play Rachel online lol

That's why I said "This won't end well for EITHER of us." XD

 

[Minato]

I think CP I'm going to pretty much use Rachel 90 percent of the time online. It feels so sad not being confident with my main.
And tomorrow, I'll be entering BB, GG, and P4A (possible Vampire as well) so if today was any indication, that will go terribly.

And feel free to add my other PSN, it's Rhapzody_
People don't know me on other forums when I use my other account which is why I'm using this one sometimes.

Edit: And Kuraudo, don't RC Hells Fang, too much proration. RC 2D. In the corner it also gives you full damage.

 

[Minato]

Double post, but worthy news.

Looks like BB's getting an anime finally. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/show...sion/page924&p=1499984&viewfull=1#post1499984

 

[Spelt]

I'm going to watch it solely to find out how Rachel fights.

Seeing that one Rachel cutscene in CT made going through story mode worth it... kinda.

Haha, can't say I'm surprised.

Meh. Can't say that I'm expecting much from it. :/

 

[LivewiresXe]

Still probably better than how that Sands of Destruction anime turned out, lol.

 

[Minato]

Godsgarden stream is having issues. P4U is on right now, and the nico link is here http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv137256236
GG is after this and then BB's last, I think.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Sorry, I saw your invite Livewire. I had to go out and do some housework, so I couldn't make it >:[

So salty.

http://www.twitch.tv/godsgarden

i think the gg tournament just finished, so bb should be starting soon.

 

[Minato]

I played some more BB before the stream started and I was wondering, how much does lag affect you guys?

I feel like lag affects me way too much, even if it's a little bit. Online in general probably since I've been losing to netplay tactics today.

 

[Spelt]

Lag affects me if i switch between online and offline a lot. Even if I go from online to offline I'll start dropping the combos offline because i'm to used the lag. If I only play online then I don't have much trouble, unless the connection is awful.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I "liked" your salt about lag, Minato, because I personally don't like netplay. It gives you a lot of bad habits for stuff that you do offline. You kinda gotta train yourself for both, and I'd much rather be better at offline play versus netplay.

[Minato]

Full to half screen run up grab as oki just makes me depressed, especially when I know I teched it lol. It throws me off trying to hit people after they tech too since I'm so bad at meaties online. I need to work on focusing on countering things that I know wouldn't work offline.

 

[Spelt]

lol so ryuusei and tetsu qualified... this mean there are now 6 jins.


also i think tetsu is in n-o's bracket. he's never gonna make it out of there...

I feel like lag affects me way too much, even if it's a little bit. Online in general probably since I've been losing to netplay tactics today.

I dislike netplay in general. Usually instead of focusing on the match, I have to focus on compensating for lag. Plus, I feel like I get blown up by things that I wouldn't offline, because lag won't permit me to react appropriately, even if it's something really obvious.

I'm lucky enough to have some local people that I can play against pretty frequently, so netplay doesn't come up too often. If it was my only choice, then I'm sure I would just learn to deal with it, but switching back and forth is a pain, that's for sure. Even switching between different TVs and stuff is kind of a pain, haha.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Since I forgot to mention it last night on account of feeling kinda out of it, GGs last night to Minato and Kuraudo. And sorry if my PSN friends for some reason wound up messing up the room connection.

 

[Deleted member]

Neat, we're finally getting a Blazblue anime. Who's animating it? Gonzo?

 

[Minato]

I'll continue to keep on believing in N-O lol

GGs, and no, it wasn't that. I'm pretty sure it's my side as well. And I'm more frustrated about what online players usually do, haha.

No one knows. It better not be Gonzo though. The only thing that looked nice from them were CT opening and Strike Witches.

Afro Samurai?

Also, the Gantz anime LOOKED pretty good (Story was **** though).

What if we got Ufotable? FateZero was beautiful and a great adaptation of the LN. Plus it means we'll get a focus on Ragna's suffering.

Anyway, its kinda moot who animates it if it doesn't get a decent budget. Think it'll be an OVA or a 12 Ep cour?

 

[Kuraudo]

I try not to use netplay tactics online, hence why I don't use half/fullscreen run up and throw. I learned that 2B is a good approach along with 5A, and if I'll throw it'll be after a block string or a 5A/2A or something. I know that by comparison to other characters, Ragna isn't effected too much on netplay, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to try other stuff. Next thing for me is the IAD Crossup ID and use 2D into rapid instead of Hell's Fang into rapid. lol

[Spelt]

yes n-o made it to top 8~

 

[Minato]

yes n-o made it to top 8~

And he's facing Tsujikawa next. lol

 

[Spelt]

Well, N-O has a 74% win rate against Tao and Tsujikawa has a 62% win rate again rachel. It could really go either way but he can do it, imo. I'm more worried about how he'll do against Dogura if that match ends up happening. There was an A-cho with just them playing and N-O struggled.

 

[Minato]

I'm surprised how well he can fight Tsujikawa's Tao, but yeah, it can really go either way this time. Excited to see Dogura since I like Azrael, but I like Daiwa too.

 

[Spelt]

Yeah, pretty exciting top 8 overall. I was expecting at least 3 Valkenhayns, lol. Kinda sad no Jins got through though...

 

[Kuraudo]

I missed it, but what's the Top 8 right now? Characters? (still hype to watch even if there is no Ragnas)

Yutta lost

 

[Kuraudo]

Aw dang. Oh well. thanks for the heads up, Minato! In that case... I'm banking on Azrael to take it. If only for the epic beatdowns.

And this is just personal for me, but there is something annoying about the way that Tao fights. Like, bar none, she's just...annoying to fight. Her combos, her...blargh. Ah well. Congrats to all who advanced. Competition is tough after all! GET HYPE!!

 

[Minato]

I get frame trapped all day by Tao.

Apparently, this is the top 8 for GG http://challonge.com/arcrevoggpr
I haven't seen a Persona one, but I know Denpa and Domii made it.

 

[Spelt]

I find quite a few characters more aggravating to fight than Tao.

I'm sure that number will go up with CP, as well.
