After playing SC5 for 2 days.. I got to say...
WHERE THE HELL IS MY AMY
I can't believe I am begging DLC from Namco.
By the way, how good is the guide? Does it only have frame data?
It's very good. Complete run down of each character, their best moves, frame data for it, tech traps, how to play against them, how to play defensively as the character, combos.
It has a rundown of the SCV subsystems, terminology etc. Then back section lists all the creat a character stuff, titles all that junk.

Alright, I've calmed down a bit.
Canada. I've remapped A to R1 so I'll see if that makes it any easier online. The specific move in question is A Patroklos' Sakura Flash or something. The 214-3aB or c3aB. Makes me rage whenever it fails.
I've been checking my messages and I don't have anything in my inbox. I just cleared it out in case there was a limit to the amount of messages you can have. I think it's likely that was the issue. Would appreciate it if you could resend.

Wow, I'm impressed. Great job. If I didn't know any better I'd say she was in the game.

It hasn't been a good strategy for years on top of that. The people that loved to GI after every string were the same ones who'd rage forever when I'd throw them after I blocked their strings.
Cool. Ill get you an invite when I get home. Or ask Q
, Ferrio, Sominus.
On diff note, Leixia's theme is the best

Just rented this game for the weekend. If you happen to see me online you'll know it. I'll be playing as a black panther ninja.

Hit him in the knees whenever he attempts grim stride. He has lousy frames between entering it and actually being able to do a move. I think he seems more annoying than he really is because he looks like he's standing, but when he's dashing forward with that he's technically crouching so highs will miss and his AGI can counter mids.
That happened to me last night. Ranked 3 matches, 2 disconnects. Called it a night.
Tried today and found a local room. 1 guy quit, but I was able to get 10 games against a friend which was pretty decent.
How do you create lobbies for queuing up?
gotcha! Noted and thank you kindly

Thanks for the invite. I got decimated in all of those games except for the last one. I think I'm learning how to mix up my attacks a bit.
Also I still have problems with blocking lows, just really feels difficult in this game for some reason.
EDIT: About Nightmare, how is he able to do like 75% of your hp in one hit?

I just got all the "Easy" titles in the quick battle thing. I figured it was a good way to get a feel for the game and get comfortable with a character.
It totally was. I was cold on this game at first, but I really enjoy it now. I'm still really bummed that the single player content is so sparse though. And I'm still not sure how I feel about the Edge attacks and meters.
But I finally got a feel and I know what I'm doing now. For the most part, I'm able to execute exactly what I want. Of course, it doesn't mean anything against real players. I still suck a lot. But I'm happy that I've made it past the initial "button mashing" phase I have with all fighting games.
I have like 7 or so moves memorized. I think I'll learn a few more and then get on to learning when the proper time to use things are.
Some of the CaS characters in the quick battle are really cool. I'll have to get in there and play around a bit. In SC4 all I really did was customize the base characters. I never created my own. Is it just me or is there less customization for base characters this time around? Like, I swear I was able to change 2P costumes and stuff like that. Now I have to create a whole new costume out of random un-matching clothes.
I'm really high on this game now. But I'll have to put it down for FF13-2 next week. Too bad I'll forget everything when I come back.

8A+B, B+K. Repeat. If they block the 8A+B follow up with BBB as soon as possible into another 8A+B. Don't forget.... there is still a block button LOL I didn't even expect to get that time. I was just going through to see if I had any trouble doing it again like I did the first time... nope I sure didn't XD

Not bad, shame that she'll be using Not Kilik Monkeyboy's style. I really hope future CAC styles are offered as DLC.

There seems to be a lot more floating geometry and intersection in the geometry than in SCIV, is that the case??

Oh wow thanks man just tried it. You can also quick step (or not) and follow up with 9+k, 2A+B then B+K again lol. Tons of potential to mix stuff up.
Note to self: avoid Teknopathetic. =(

Hey, it's not easy to get lucky and get a Clean hit on one specific part of a 3 hit combo.

How do clean hits even work, is it just a random crit? I've had them go off even when I wiff stuff.

It seems to be random.
It seems to be random.
According to the guide its random, but certain moves are more likely to cause a clean hit compared to others, such as Leixia's Guei.

Does it give the %'s on them? If so what's Viola's 66B?
It ranks the likelihood from C to A, A being the most frequent.
Viola 66B: C. She has no 'A's and 2 'B's: 6K and 22/88A+B
Algol's CE: also C.

Ugh D: her 66B is her main combo ender.

Since Im sick of getting blasted by them..what are these super moves people are pulling off on me?
Thanks for that god like Viola tip. Beat Legendary Souls mode and did all the arcade related shit, as well as beat Harada in Quick Battle thanks to that troll loop you can do. Oh and your record for leaderboard arcade is 9 minutes? Pff, weak stuff. Doing your Viola loop I have it down to 5 mins some seconds. xD
So tonight my buddy let me be aware that you can fuck up peoples aerial combos they do on you, because you can opt which way you fall down, and that will mess them up if the combo isn't universal for all fall down paths.
So during that I found two infinites with Devil Jin.
4vertical3vertical(this will launch) then you try to find the pattern/timing of just hitting vertical over and over. I got up to 70 some hits in a row 370ish damage, before I dropped it.
(Sorry my notation sucks. Is vertical hits, B? If so it's 4B3B, and then mash B's as they are in the air)It's somewhat random on when you will finally get it, but I've done it around 5 times in a row once, so you might be able to master it.
You can also get it off of down down/up up B, and then just mash B's as they fall down for that too.
I had the AI set to random free falling, and quick get up shit, and all that good jazz, and I was able to keep it going multiple times to just free kill. Straight up broken ass shit lol.

As for playing online earlier today it was frustrating. I played 1-2 people who actually knew how to do combos. The rest was a barrage of people doing the same 1-2 moves over and over and over, while going for grabs since the throw range in this game is absurdly large. This is by far the fighter I am THE worst at. I think my W/L in ranked is like 8/28. I'm hella free. I do my best to guard, create space, toss in throws, do big damage combos, etc, but when my opponent is just spamming the same shit over and over, and they win, I feel mad salty.
OH and does anyone got random disconnects in this game? I had 3 games today where just final round, both my opponent and I had good health left (3/4ths) and then it just d/cs us. :/

Arcade mode? No sir, that's LEGENDARY MODE.
