EHRIIIIIIIIIK.

I'm too pauvre.
Does your tourney winnings even cover the toll to get back home?

52
Yeah, I apologize. Homework is eating me alive. Like it would have been managable if I saw it in advance, and in all honesty there is no reason why I didn't see it in advance, but I did, and now I'm looking at a 1500 word essay due tomorrow. At least, regardless if I finish it all, i'll be free tomorrow, and I'll work double time on the vids seeing that ehrik is no longer with us.

54
Okay... I'm currently stuck at the moment, because I do not know what replays are missing, and what replays I should keep looking for. Right now, I'm just missing the second match of LK vs Zar(I found one replay in the "other replays" folder) If you guys can confirm the nonexistance of the replay, I can just stick that one match with Xaq vs BBhood for convenience.

55
In my experience... don't jump, or if you do, try for an air throw. Thats all I can think of.

56
Well, some people have to set little goals in order to reach higher ones.

For example, you can't say, "I want to bake a cake", without first saying, "I need to buy flour." Unless you already have flour... then it... uhm... well the bottom line is that the only ingredient in a cake is flour.

Heh, I apparantly have a test the tuesday after the tourney. So... depending on how confident on the material I am, I may not go. Of course, I have friends(mainly Reloy) that I can leech information ask for help so I should be fine.

59
Uhm... yeah... My birthday is today, I decided to celebrate it on the weekend, and yesterday I realized I had a pile of work that I was saving for the weekend to do, but didn't do because of aforementioned reasons. Sorry, Lack of planning on my part. I'll get restarted again when I get home. Sorry about that. I thought that Ehrik would be doing some vids over the weekend so people would be distracted by my disappearance, but I guess I get no such luck.  :-\

Hey Nam, what program did you use to design the brackets and do you know of any software that has a randomizer that can sort names?
I used that tournament maker program that I found on this thread: Here. We did the simple seeding arangement assuming no one was a beginner, and Zar, Xaq and LK were experts, and the rest in the middle. Nothing too special.

61
Probably... But this match was right after fighting B.B. Hood, and I just have a deathly fear of Arcs. I'll probably watch chibi's match to see how he dealt with her, and integrate tactics that I like, though I think the best tactic against Arcs are simply to not get hit.

B.B.Hood Vs Nam

In the first match, I wasn't using a pelican, and everything seemed to be coming out late, but... iunno... I just plain sucked this whole vid.

62
A... Apparantly...

And to Nas, Tell Ehrik. I am doing the winners bracket and he's doing the losers. When I'm finished with the winners and you still don't have any vids, yours will be the first ones I do. In the mean time, you do have Nas vs Tiamat...

63
Your temper is whats stopping you from being a mod. You can't get angry at people just because they disagree with you, no matter how wrong they really are.

I made that Guide to start up some conversation. Simple as that, because otherwise it was "choosing pots". If you want to make a guide, go right ahead, and I'll get Mizuki to wipe mine from existence.

Anyway, in the mean time, I'm going to make my outrageous claims, throughout the forums, and I'm counting on you to tell me I'm stupid, especially if I actually am.

Finally, Zar, you are fucking awesome. You finish your matches quick, and never lose, which means I don't have to encode as much. I think everyone should take a lesson from him. When you win your first match, win your fucking second match, so I don't have to go through hell that all you three matchers have been giving me.  >:(

Zar's Vid will be up momentarily.

Edit: Zar's vid is up. Okay, should I bold the winner in the links or would that be just redundant because we already have the brackets up?

64
Basically Chibi, I don't know anything that has been established because the Hisui subforum has pretty much no discussion. I've been going on instinct and what I've seen as effective. The only times we've ever argued is because I was the one who said something based off of my experiences. You never said anything to advance the knowledge of the Hisui community except in response to what I said, and you say it really angrily, which makes people think you're full of yourself like you already said. And then we argue, and I defend my argument as best I can, and when it falters, I learn something. If you don't want arguments to occur, either just shut up and keep all your experiences to yourself, which I hope you don't do, or let out all your experiences for everyone to learn from. You say things are established I never heard of or even cautioned against till last Saturday, and if they were established, why wouldn't they be in a place specifically for playing the character?

What I'm trying to say is, no one makes any claims about Hisui except me. My claims are pretty much always wrong, but thats the only way I am able get some discussion about my character. Start discussion about Hisui on your own, Chibi, so we all can learn from it. Don't just retaliate from what I say.

By the way, I fixed The two problem vids, and boy were they a pain in the ass. My computer blue screened a total of 4 times trying to encode Rei vs BB hood, and frankly, It wasn't worth it but its done, so what can you do  :-\. I'll try to do one more real vid today before I go to sleep.

Chibi should try shutting up and smashing faces  ;D. Even I managed to spend less time on smack-talking/preaching and more on stepping it up.
Well I don't think so, all these arguments are very educational for me.

Edit: Front page is updated.

I'm not showing you shit Nam. Seriously you just sit here and fucking argue with me everytime I bother to bring up shit with Hisui, always falling back on "that's how I play her". You already said you don't care enough to go out and look for resources on her to begin with, so I'm not even going to bother.

And yeah, my rushdown is sad right now, I got that the first time you said it, and the first time I said it. It wasn't even necessary as part of this discussion.

Eh?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to sound condescending, and I especially didn't want to insult you. I was asking a favor, so what would I have to gain by insulting you beforehand. I honestly believe that you have the most experience with Hisui on the East Coast.

I quit trying to argue with you ever since my embarrassment with the whole [5]c mess. My last post wasn't an argument (or at least that wasn't my intention). I just really thought that she didn't have any good pressure, so when you come up and said stuff that contradicts what I thought was right, I did an introspection as to why I said the things I said, and I typed it all out without thinking about it. Upon re-read, I'm sorry about the analyzing of your pressure. I completely lost sight of what my point was, and it was pretty uncalled for.

But, I guess thats also a testament to our personalities, and where we are right now. I'm much more defensive. I don't want to put myself in the fray so much because I still have a blockstring that worked when charged 5C was unstoppable in my eyes. It still comes automatically for me, so to offset that, I'd much rather keep my distance as long as my pots can give me.
Plus. This statement meant that no matter how sad you think you are, you're miles ahead of me in terms of what you know, and what tactics you use. Though, No johns, I'll get better than you the next time you come over here or I come over there.

Anyway, none of what I said has to change your mind. You can still be angry at me if you want, I'll find my own vids on my own time, but I want to make sure you realize why it is that I argue with you in the first place. I absolutely think that arguments are not bad things. I love playing the devil's advocate in arguments because it makes the other person defend their argument and make sure they actually know what they're talking about, and break misconceptions that one party might have. If I said one day that wakeup 2a was the greatest thing in the world, and no one decided to argue about it, nothing would change at all. And if I got insulted and angry every time someone did argue with me, then I wouldn't learn other points of view, and I couldn't grow as a player. In fact, I wanted the Hisui thread to be a forum for people to bounce ideas around, argue, defend their point till the bitter end. In fact that is what the word "Forum" originally meant before the internet took it as its own. That way, the points that can go past all the bullshit or misconceptions(like... iunno... [5]c being a good antiair) that the other points have are the ones that both parties truly understand. I firmly believe that this is the best way(alongside experience) to get a full understanding of the character. Do you understand?

Start by studying Chibi.
I believe thats what started him being angry at me.

Don't compliment me because I have no shit.  :psyduck:
Thats a lie and you know it!

66
Meh, I guess you're right. No johns on my side. Though I still want to see videos for reference.

While you're on LK. Did Chu tell you to say wtfux? It just seems like something he'd say.

67
1. Hisui's pressure is fucking absurd Nam, she has some INESCAPABLE (outside of using burst) setups for christ's sake, she is scary as all hell. The way the Japanese continue to evolve with her is mind blowing. It's a hard act for me to follow, but I'm following it none the less. Eventually I'll get 'somewhere' with it ;p.

2. Zoning is fine with Hisui, but it cuts off what makes her scary (her offensive pressure). You can throw pots and try to bait shit with arc drives all day, but that's not as effective as getting ONE block string into ex-dust in the corner and then going to town. You're better off playing hit and run instead of just RUN, but that's just my opinion.
I'm not going to argue with you, because I simply have no information for either side to make an argument. There are no real big name Hisui's that I'm aware of that I can study 24/7, mostly because I don't have the time(nor care enough) to look for one, and one's not glaring at my face like Yukinose for akihas for example. From watching you, the only pressure that even remotely "pressured" me was when you used the ex-dust to keep me on block while you iad+C. Your tick throw into b bento pressure setups were okay, but like... its too obvious that you were just going to pressure me, so all I had to do was block and wait for it to finish. Thats why I opt for the tick throw to a bento throw loop(unofficial name), even though through playing Zar, I'm realizing its vulnerabilities(its still useful, but not as infallable as I once thought).

But, I guess thats also a testament to our personalities, and where we are right now. I'm much more defensive. I don't want to put myself in the fray so much because I still have a blockstring that worked when charged 5C was unstoppable in my eyes. It still comes automatically for me, so to offset that, I'd much rather keep my distance as long as my pots can give me. You're definitely more aggressive(relative to me) and would rather keep on the offensive, and keep the pressure up.

Though, you're words intrigue me. Can you show me some vids of these "Inescapeable" blockstrings so I may be able to use it against you?

And to Rei: You just gotta practice more.  You mess up the combo's you really have to make natural. You definitely have the potential, but your character demands perfection.

68
Yeah, upon watching Tiamat vs Chibi, I am 100% convinced that Chibi has a Bullshit aura around him. Like, he's like Longshot, from X-men, that can inherantly change the probablilities that affect him to his favor. Like a combo that would work in any other circumstance fail not once, not twice, but 4 separate times for no good reason. Plus he gets random bullshit hits that should never have actually hit becasue its got like... a single frame that would actually hit someone without him getting hit. I don't know how you do it, but goddammit turn it off. Its not fair for the rest of us!  >:(

69
Well, Hisui in general has pretty crappy pressures. The IAD is noticable enough for anyone to change their block. Hell I think I succeeded in poking your IADs out of the sky, though I'm not 100% sure, and I don't care enough to check. Thats kinda why I zone so much. That and I didn't even think of IADing to continue the block string till I saw chibi use it.

70
EDIT: To me that kouma j.236b236b ender is like j.2c for Akiha and j.bb for hisui. you can punish it after tech I believe

No you can't Tech punish, making it as a combo ender completely useless unless your opponent is a total noob.

71
I think what he meant was that because VR just was letting the guys wake up unpunished anyway, and even getting hit immediately after the wakeup, he'd might as well just try his luck. No one is disputing the fact that its a retarded strategy, because we already had a long retarded argument on why it is a retarded strategy last month. No need to bring the argument up again.

Anyway, VR learn Oki's so you don't have to rely on the stupidity of your Opponents... well, at least rely on it less.

72
Wtf is up with all these random mistakes... Gawd... Sorry about that. I don't know what happened, I'll fix the mistakes after I get home, both that mistake and showing bbhood's third match twice.

73
Yeah, it was roughly 30 in game seconds.

Vids up of both matches now. For Vr vs Tiamat, if you don't want to see shennanigans, just skip to 0:49

74
Just for confirmation, did you guys REALLY just hit standing A for the first 30 seconds of your first match? I really want to just attribute it with desyncing, but then you're all fine afterward...

75
In a flash of hypocracy, I frap'd and encoded Tiamat vs VR. I really thought it was a second round match while I was doing it and it took me looking at the brackets right now to see my folly... But, because I have it already done, it seems silly not to upload them.  So, just a heads up ehrik, I already did VR vs Tiamat. You don't have to do that one. And if you already did it, I'm sorry I wasted your time >.<
