MATVIII (the tournament I was talking about) is an evo season tournament that he played in. I don't know if he's planning on going to EVO this year; I doubt it though as he almost didn't enter MATVIII because of the $25 venue fee.
Here's a video of him... winning. Keep in mind that we'd had CS2 for less than a month at this point.

This video is really terrible but it should give you the idea.

BB is dead, even CS2 couldn't save it.
We both got counter hit at the same time. We're both on opposite ends of the screen. He recovered, after getting counter hit, and ran across the screen and finished the combo from the super. Full. Of. Shit.
I don't care that I got hit. I get hit by stupid stuff all the time because I'm ass at this game. I care that I got comboed in a bullshit situation.

LTTP I guess. Vampire Savior is on though! Just as good.Busaiku said:
If you are on opposite ends of the screen, how did Daisharin CH you? It starts right in front of Litchi. If you were on opposite ends of the screen, you got hit by the second or maybe even third movement of the staff, meaning you had been predicted long before the move even started. That's the real problem.Master Milk said:
Also, you usually can't combo big off of Daisharin -- CH or not -- unless you're in the corner or it's set up very specifically. Seriously, I can't believe that you're bitching about midscreen Daisharin of all things. Try and use it yourself and see how hard it is to justify the 50% heat that it requires.

3DS version is on sale at Best Buy this week in case there are any interested parties. $19.99 IIRC.
According to the Famitsu scan from this week, Relius Clover is a new playable character 
(Translation courtesy of Suzaku)
- Says he'll play the same way Carl does. His gameplay will be similar to Carl's, as he will
fight by controlling his battle puppet, Ignis.
- Apparently says he's going to be added to the arcade version.
- Loke test scheduled for August at Akihabara Hey!.
- Says there are supposedly plans for distributing him to the console versions via DLC.

Relius Clover? Carl's dad? Ugh. Give me Kokonoe or go away. Actually, I'd be fine with this is they just got rid of Carl. Carl sucks.
I guess we can expect the DLC of him in 11 or 12 months? Not that matters, BB being dead and all. -_-

BB is dead? Me and Proto still play. Actually I only play when proto ask cause I got like 50 million things to do. If people ask I'll gladly turn my ps3 on and pop it in.Master Milk said:

Well... Here's hoping that relius has at least a bigger hitbox.
To be honest, he's sounding like a Carl clone at the moment so I'm curious how they'll make him different.

meh I can't really understand how comes that so many ppl are jumping on and off the mvc3 and sf4 iteration bandwagon, but we barely get new blood on bb....
I find bb a better combo-feast alternative to mvc3 from any possible point of view :/

Yesterday's stream was a snoozefest. I even saw MikeZ give up in the middle of the match. I lost interest after that. Today's top 8 is a different story.

The BB finals got me really hyped to play this game again. However, remembering that pretty much every connection I get is either 0 or 1, 2s are rare, 3s and 4s are a miracle, and 5s are a thing of legend that I've never seen with my eyes kinda takes that hype away -__-
Anyways, how many XBL players here are left if any?

Wow, really surprising to see Tokido not win, but great matches all around.
And the only Platinum I saw was James Xie's once. I think he lost, too. Bah.
Also, I'm PSN exclusive.

The odds of something else being as hype as spark this evo is pretty low. Only thing I can see being as awesome is some good Poongko ownage.

Yeah, he fell into the trap most litchi players end up falling for of getting comfy and trying to auto pilot a bit. Sparks defense was way to good for that and he started reading him like a book. Sparks is prob the best player we have right now by far. Good solid and doesn't just do random stupid stuff, but always mixing it up and not falling into a rhythm. It was a blast to watch him tear through finals.Fugu said:
It's not so much that he autopiloted, it's that he didn't know what his opponent was susceptible to (see the failed Riichi A > Ippatsu C setups and later 4D success). He ultimately wasn't being creative enough to get an advantage on the offense and that made his great spacing and seriously amazing hitconfirms sort of irrelevant. LK is fairly consistently one of the players least prone to autopilot (consult his play history or his giant thread on Dustloop for more info); I think he just got nervous.QisTopTier said:
For the record, I think that LK is the best player in North America. Two bad sets do not nullify a legacy.

I felt bad for anyone going against Spark. The guy was a mind reader. He doesn't do reversals often but when he did, he made them count. I think I only saw ONE bad counter. He also blocked like his life depended on it. LK was getting hella annoyed. His eyes basically said "I can't do anything!"

Honestly I think a man with defense that solid is just built for tournament play, much in the same way that GMMA_Jan is. It's difficult to read a strong defensive player like that and quite frankly I don't think American players are used to players with good defense ("purple grabs/overheads are invisible"). I don't know that it necessarily makes him the better player overall -- I think the results of a FT10 or other equally large number would be different -- but he certainly made an argument for his tournament viability there.Prototype-03 said:
I was mostly just happy to see Tokido lose if only because it's sort of a legitimization of the American Blazblue community, sort of a "we are no longer bad enough to lose to people who don't play this game". The thing is, it's notably less legitimate than "we didn't come in last place at SBO again", and I've a feeling we're quite a ways away from getting over that hurdle. This is especially true considering there's not much I've seen Spark do that other Japanese players don't do other than play Hakumen. And honestly I don't think we ever will be at the level required to perform at SBO because talent only takes you so far if you don't have the community to back it up.

Dat Hackerman. I totally expected Tokido to breeze his way to 1st place, but this was more interesting.

I have to admit, I'm not use to seeing a defense/counter heavy approach wining tourneys. His play choice definitely showcased excellent knowledge of the game, characters, and situational reactions at it's best.

Yeah, it was VERY impressive. I think I remember the commentators that he also went to losers very early in the tournament so he grinded his way through.
Also had people who never played the game want to play it in the chat. THAT never happened in BB before.
For some reason, I decided to check out the finals stream early in the morning, and I saw that it was barely going to start with BlazBlue. As a SF/Marvel purist, I just kinda shrugged and left the stream on the background while playing TF2.
Then the hype of the crowd got my attention, and switched back to the stream. After a few minutes, I decided to not watch the Tekken finals (which I heard were pretty fun) and decided to get this game.
Consider me hooked.
