Lol I have nothing to complain about in BB either, since I play Jin and had wanted to play Nu since the new patch was announced.

lol I thought of you when they showed her.
I haven't had a chance to re-watch this match but I was pretty confident going into it. I've beaten him in tournament before pretty handily and had played a long set with him the day before where I won by a large margin.
From what I remember, I had trouble picking up his fireball and cr mk pattern and took a lot of damage figuring it out. On defense, I got hit by a lot of things that I almost always block, and ate a few jump in combos trying to punish bad safe jumps.
On offense, I should have pressured a lot more with overhead. He was really scared of fighting me up close (He was burning ex meter for fireballs as soon as he got it to make sure I couldn't focus in), and he blocked low almost every time, even though I think I remember all my overheads hitting. I had a ton of input errors too, which certainly didn't help me either, lol.
Pretty much, I came down to me taking too long to adapt and not pressuring hard enough once I was in. This is the same reason why I lost to that Hugo in winners too, haha. I got 9th, but I felt that I would have placed much higher had I been more prepared. I hadn't been playing much after the accident and surgery, and decided to go to KIT at the very last minute (didn't even buy my plane ticket until the Monday before the tournament). I didn't do too badly given the circumstances, but this'll be a good wake-up call come time for capcom cup qualifiers. I'm really gonna try to buckle down on those.
The tournament in general was actually very fun. It had a good amount of high level players and a ton of setups, so we got to run long sets with people you normally only get to play online. Great for learning matchups!
I'll probably end up going again, as my only complaint was how cold it was.

Daigo: WHAT ARE YOU POPPING OFF FOR?
I seriously don't know how dude still plays like a machine.
Most top players except a small few rarely show when they're emotions when playing. (top emotionless players while playing: Ricky Ortiz, Sako, Xian, Momochi, Dieminion, Snake Eyez is VERY subtle, infiltration)
but the Beast breh. Dude has like 2000 people cheering for the opponent and he doesn't eem budge a little bit.

How well do they know the lore? People might want to stay away from the Chipp one if they have a drug test in the next few months....

Ogawa is pretty much the daigo of GG to me. If there is one player you could ever get a chance to play in GG it would be him and beating him is a pretty big deal.
Dude got second at sbo, if i remember right, in gg slash when eddie was one of the worst characters in the game
Edit: does the ky one come with a collectable cup?

Lol the jokes have already been made.
Some people don't like to choose top tier characters and will drop them. Like you said they might think it will hurt their rep. One of my friends is like that. But really, unless that character is really broken or you're both top level players it doesn't matter much.
Ask them about it for me! That's pretty cool.
Isn't he clean now, though?

I'd keep away from the Axl drink
That Bedman drink has me seeing doubles.
Millias tea makes my hair soft and shine nice
Faust tea gives me rectal problems
I could go on

Yipes and Jago swore that Vergil would be Mid tier too.
Wasn't just those two, a bunch of people online and at tournaments had that opinion too. Mind you this is before XF4 Vergil was discovered and stuff like Spiral Loops, plink forward Stinger OS, Dimension Slash cross up into Hightime XF pick up or RT glitch were a thing.
On paper Vergil definitely has flaws that should not allow him to be a good character in a Versus game. No air mobility whatsover, normals can't be whiff canceled (no other character in the game has this weakness), one of his best options requires charging (and still isn't as good as Buster), a lot of his best options are highly meter dependent, weak normal damage scaling etc.
The problem comes when you start adding in his "glitches" or unintended mechanics and then put him at the back with XF3 while DT is on. Even without that Spiral Swords by themselves are far too much value off of 1 meter in that it allows you near full control of the battlefield plus a pseudo DHC glitch. His normals have absurd hit boxes and more importantly can negate projectiles which makes him tough to zone against (fast ground movement plus teleport already gives zoning a hard time).
Oh and Helm Breaker at a certain zone is an "unblockable". I don't mean this in a joking manner but at a certain point the hitboxes interact so weirdly that even if the character is clearly in front of Vergil they will get hit by the move on the other side (and Vergil would still stay in front of the other guy). The character was not clearly not tested properly but then again that applies to most of the game anyway.

Xfactor 3 firebrand would be pretty awesome... If he was fucking controllable

I need to change the character I chose. I should learn Chipp.
I hate Vergil. His S launcher hits me when I was behind him.

He's the happy birthday king too. I don't know how many times I've seen helm breaker grab the assist and lead to 2 characters down..

Yep, as folks said. It's Ogawa coming to Northwest Majors. He's basically the Daigo of Guilty Gear. It'll be his first time overseas.

Words still hurt Q. I can't win. The game is really pretty but man.... Animaaaay.
I am of an age where I dread visiting the doctor every year.
edit: whatever, I am going into the Monster Hunter Vortex in a month.

I don't want it anymore.
Hm...I feel less guilty about playing Elphelt than I did playing P4A Mitsuru (part of why I started focusing more on Naoto in that was because it felt more like I actually earned my wins with her).

The girl I believe
NA, will hit up Amazon then.
Been too long.
Need to take a break from some other things and get back to gaming.
Being an unapologetic P4A Mitsuru player myself, the parallels I see between the two are uncanny. Only difference is that Elph doesnt have a stupid good abusable DP.

Used enough force to tear a shirt lol
But in this case it feels like being used to set an example of.
Perfect.

This thread the past few pages
I'm just gonna go ahead and say I'm trying my hardest to understand how to fault ShinBlade in this case. It was completely nonconfrontational and your typical pop off until the other dude called Gamma assist and the girl put hands on him (like, literally). I have difficulty understanding from AnnelFrank's point of view, where that emotional release is less understandable as a particularly tame response from the activity but more understandable when it crosses a line of physical aggression afterwards because it hurt a sensitive (I'm not using this word in a insulting sense, but descriptive) 3rd party's feelings.
Also shout outs to Q playing the wall in the back.
But yeah, we off that. Last half of the new MK trailer was pretty well done.
