    What are some of the more "creative" names you've seen when playing SG online?

    I'm not quite certain what this is supposed to mean, but I guess it's nice that he's not racist

    Another training diary that no one will read or care about

    I should clarify, it's not just Eliza. It's in general; that character is absolutely fucking me up. Even when she's on point.

    I'm so fucking lost against Double. Her j.hp beats absolutely every single thing I fucking do, and then there's catheads. Halp.

    The Thread Where Sharpie Spends Tons of Money to Make People Interested in Skullgirls

    I'd like to try my hand commentating; I have a mic, but have never used it with streaming, and have never done Skype before. Would anyone be down for a testrun in the next few days, to work out some kinks and make sure I don't totally suck as a commentator?

    Note to self: a Bella combo in the corner that ends in level 3 can be followed up by Diamond Dynamo or Excellabella. Thanks to Outlaw Spike for pointing that one out to me!

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    MK Servant is +2 on block. Not a tight blockstring, but you can cover for that by varying where you use it (mixup between using it after c.mk/c.mp/1 hit of s.hp/2 hits of s.hp). Val's mixup is better, yes, but Eliza is better at keeping control on a successfully block, and her...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    Perhaps, but it's true. There's a reason why even when she was considered the best character in the game, "Solo Val" was something of a joke and never taken seriously.

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    @IsaVulpes basically covered the reason Val sucks now; she was never anything other than shorthand for "do damage off of my assists", and assist play was nerfed. Oh, and now that Eliza exists, Eliza does that better. And has better pokes, and more damage, and is just as good at holding the...

    Skullgirls PC Beta Updates Discussion

    I'm not going to comment on which Peacock teleport change is better from a balance perspective (honestly, I don't even know), but I like the proposed one that always works the same way more from a "does this sound fun/make sense" perspective than one that behaves differently based on what your...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    @keninblack , could you explain Copter vs LnL on for Para/Val? I mean, I know you pick Copter for lockdown and LnL for neutral control, but what makes you decide "fuck it, I want the lockdown", especially when LnL can provide some of that on its own, and is the best thing in the game for...

    Is this an attempt to say "Use Bella level 3 more goddammit!", or am I misinterpreting you entirely?

    The Thread Where Sharpie Spends Tons of Money to Make People Interested in Skullgirls

    Wow, I didn't know this was a thing. I've got an e-friend who I've been trying to get to buy the game for quite some time now; a drawing for a SG-themed fightstick would definitely be motivation enough for me to buy a copy and give it to him to force him to start playing!

    What move do you always accidentally use?

    There's some Parasoul I see in QM who always just does c.mp whenever he makes this mistake, and it works waaaay more often than it should. (And I always get various run moves when I'm trying a Bella command grab from down back, and Battle Toads when I'm attempting Tumbling Run xx Dynamo...

    I found this one unreasonably amusing:

    Another training diary that no one will read or care about

    You would think so, but it doesn't work in practice. The issue is PW's active frames + disjoint hitboxes. Yeah, if you're already at very close range, you can beat her out, but you can't really jump at her from midrange with the intent to hit a button because she can hit a button really early...

    General BnB Compendium

    Disagreed; the combos on the front page, at least for characters I've played, are easier than things that I usually see as "BnB"s in BlazBlue beginner guides (with the possible exception of Eliza sweep combos, but you can easily just replace the 2mk->2hp->236mk->2hk->263hp with a...

    A Few Questions to help me get started

    Maybe it's just me, but I have a really hard time enforcing pressure with Parasoul without an assist. Yeah, LP shot, but that's easily pushblocked, and then you've got to get back in again. Of course, Para has decent neutral, so that's not the end of the world, but I'd rather have an anchor...

    A Few Questions to help me get started

    Just a note about your team -- if you have your heart set on Val and Squigly, I'd drop Eliza for Filia, Parasoul, or Big Band. Both Val and Squigly really need a good anti air/DP assist, and Upper Khat isn't going to cut it. With Val + Squigs, I'd recommend (in this order) Val with c.mk...
