Kay, so I haven't posted for like a week and a half, but that doesn't mean I've been slacking off. (Well, there was that playthrough of Persona 3 that I blazed through that took a lot of time I could've been practicing, but whatever). I've been putzing about in training mode figuring new shit...

UPDATE: I have signed up for this month's Get Good tournament. I've got 4 days to practice beforehand, and while I don't particularly expect to win, I definitely wanna put up as much of a fight as I can. So, matchup practice aside, here's my big checklist of things to work on in the coming days...

So I made my first foray into online quick matches. I got bopped pretty hard in 2, lost but put up a decent fight in 1, and won 2 more. Pretty fun, and it's nice to finally get my ass kicked. Having only played my friends and the Get Good this Sunday, I've been on a pretty solid winning spree...

Update on command grabs: I've put work into the j.hk restand > MGR reset in training mode, and it's easy enough for me to do which is nice. In addition, assuming - and this is a few pretty big assumptions - that the enemy takes my burst bait AND I don't fuck up some tricky inputs near the end, I...

Had my first ever on-stream event match today in the Get Good group, which was really fun. Started out shaky because of stream nerves, but I kinda fell into my groove for rounds 2 and 3 and did pretty damn well. Unfortunately, Beo was in every fight so I didn't get to practice my other matchups...

Yeah, I was thinking about s.hk because it gives me a bit more time to charge my run, which I could then use to counter a pushblock or if I'm not pushed, I can then cancel into LnL, but I'll keep that in mind. Of course, I'll need to start getting a feel for when pushblocks come in my string, so...

Got 15 matches in with my buddy earlier. Unfortunately, he was pretty seriously off his game tonight, so I went 15-0 and didn't get too much matchup practice, but I DID get to test my burst bait in a real fight and try out some of the other shit I've been fiddling with. As I thought, the bait...

I'll definitely work on run-stopping after getting pushed, but damn those charge moves just kill me. It'll take a lot of work. Lock 'n Load feels a tiny bit risky since it's -6 on block, but it could be worse. I'll give it a test run and see how it goes. Maybe I'm just severely overestimating...

So I've got 33 hours logged in Skullgirls. Most of it (like 25 at least) is just me hammering out some basics in training, mostly with Cerebella. I've got a bit of work done with Ms Fortune and Squiggly, but they're definitely at a much lower level than my Bella play right now. As such, right...
