The only reason why we even have this thread, people to play with, and a scene is because of me. I have yet to see YOU bring a SINGLE player into the scene.
btw Fox, I didn't quit Wara for Koha because I found out she had better mixups. It was primarily because I was tired of doing 65/35 matchup vs LK, everyone and their mom was switching to H-Vshi which is almost as bad, and most other EC top players at the time played characters that were tough matchups for him. He's still really fun in the majority of his matchups, but when my main practice was going to come from LK I didn't want to deal with obnoxiousness. I went through a bunch of other characters who didn't pan out in play as I thought they would then decided on Koha when I figured her neutral would be similar to Wara's but with stronger damage/oki/pressure so I would get more respect. Koha neutral turned out to be extremely boring though. She has much less maneuverability than Warachia, significantly weaker anti-air, and her jb is easier to CH her out of than Warachia's.
If MB REALLY has this many peopleMB has fewer sign-ups this year than last year. Then again, so does every other game other than SSF4 (...and 3S, oddly).
there better be EVERYONE playing in the 5on5.
In regards to the team tournament(s), the officially scheduled one is 2v2. I know LK wants to run a 5v5, but is he hallucinating that he'll even get 8 teams? Or do people really want to run a 5v5 Pokemon-style team tournament instead of 2v2 Waseda-style?
Chatting w/ Jeff-san this morning. Figured I'd ask his opinion on the matter (w/o referring to said list)

I have an idea of which people will be making switches (in US) should we ever see the light of a console port...I'm not naming names though lol
So basically JP people thinking Ciel is bad charater coz it's hard to win with her at/against high level? That's lame and lazy.
I'm not saying that's the reason why Japan thinks of F-Ciel as a bad character, I'm saying that's how she was designed. She's been like this since AC Ver.A...her worst iteration next to H-Ciel. Don't get it twisted she can still win at high levels, but she has to put in more effort to do so the better you and your competition gets. That's why I lol when I hear people say Ciel was broken in AC.QuoteF-Ciel can do an easy meteless 5k combo on almost anyone, is there any other char that can do that?
In Ver.A and PS2 this really isn't a big deal considering a good chunk of the cast can do this as long as they sneeze on you. In CC, sure she's one of the few characters who can hit 5K meterless, but it's nowhere near as consistent as it was in previous versions. Unless they got a jump-in or started with 5B it wasn't really doing much more than 4.4-4.6K and even the combo itself is super fickle mid-screen from what I've seen of it...at least compared to her flicker combos in ver.A/PS2.QuoteI can't understand why JP people look donw on her.
It's not that Japan looks down on her, it's just that there's hardly anyone willing to be "that guy" and break out of their comfort zone. They're sticking to what they know...and TBH I can't hate them for that. Why do that if what you know is working out great for you?QuoteShe has a large variety of moves both close and full range, not to mention her anti air moves. You'll never be safe no matter where are you, coz Ciel can pull out a move that can reach you.
This isn't exclusive to F-Ciel. Ciel by default always had at least one or two great anti-air moves and as long as you had meter you were never truly safe because of the threat of EX-Hiero.QuoteSure she doesn't has Hiero but she doesn't need that.
Sure she doesn't NEED it, but I'd argue to the end that it sure as hell made some of her match-ups easier.
