I want to play with anyone and everyone right now, just want to play lots (and if you can help me out with tips and coaching that’s even better!).

My ps3 gamertag is idylehandz

XBL Gamertag: KuroJSR1
Main: Rachel Alucard
Sub: None atm, I want to learn how to properly play Rachel before I pick a sub char.
Background: Been playing fighters since SF2 but mostly got deeply into it during Third Strike’s lifespan.

Strenghts: Good knowledge of Rachel’s BnB’s and air juggles.

Weakness: Too offensive, and I’m not 100% with using her Frog and Pumpkin properly.

I want to make use of all of Rachel’s abilities and learn how to play her both offensively and defensively.

Main : Ragna
Sub : Tager/Hakumen

Location : Chicago, IL
Wants to learn : Matchup strats for ragna against pretty much everyone. Maxmimizing combo opportunities in every situation(counters,air-hits,etc.)

location: hawaii
Main: Jin
Sub: know a little Tager, and trying to learn Ragna
skill level: competent for a casual player but wanting to get better. trying to rid myself of my adhd spastic rushdown tendencies, need to work on execution and implementing more mindgames as i seem to have the most success when i stay disciplined, hang back and counter, instead of crackhead pressure, that usually gets me ib’d and wrecked on.

XBOW LIVE: Grifter 181

Main: Noel

Sub: Trying a few but nothing worthwhile

Skill level: 70-80% on my card, that’s pretty awesome, right? Guys? Hello?

Location: Western NY

Strengths: Anticipation

Weaknesses: Patience, reflexes

Want to learn: To fight characters I don’t see much like Arakune or Carl, but glad to match up with anyone decent

Instant messenger: AIM - griftervd

SRK/Dustloop/PSN: Misterbadguy

Main: Racheru Arucalrd

Sub: Ragna

Skill Level: Played 3rd Strike competitivly years ago. Also a long time Guilty Gear player, but not on a competitive level. I’d say my skill is around an intermediate level.

Strengths: Tech chasing, covering my ass with pumpkins, wind control, strong-ish mix-up/rush/abare game

Weaknesses: I fold under long pressure strings. Generally impatient. Bursting to maintain pressure to often (shame on me, I know)

Want to learn: Just wanna get beat down by stronger players and maybe learn a few things along the way. I’m especially bad with the Arakune, Jin, and Noel match-ups, so this would be helpful as well.

Haven’t posted here yet, lol. Thought I did.

PSN Tag: TheAngery1

Main: Noel

Sub: Haku-men

Skill Level: Been playing fighting games for years. Didn’t acknowledge the competitive side of fighters until around 3 years ago when I started college. Played Guilty Gear, Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, and Tekken all at casual level. Started diving into the technical side of Guilty Gear and Soul Calibur when I started acknowledging competitive play but never got the chance to go to tournaments for those games in particular. I have minimal tournament experience in SFIV and none in BlazBlue as of currently. I’d consider myself an intermediate level player at best.

Strengths: Nailing combos when opportunity arises. Rushdown game is relatively solid.

Weaknesses: Slight impatience (result of not playing SFIV in a bit, lol), Needs practice IBing at the right moments.

Want to learn: How to handle the top 3 (mainly Arakune) and Carl better. I don’t fight Litchi enough either and could use some more experience in that match up.

I should have posted here ages ago!

SRK: kona
PSN: IzumiDESU
XBL: konakonata
Main : Nu
Sub : Taokaka
Skill level : Above average
Background history : I’m and old school Mortal Kombat player (MK through MK4). I got back into fighting games with Guilty Gear X2 and I was my only competition until college. I got into Street Fighter when HD Remix came out. When BB came out, I started out with Taokaka. I played her too defensively so I switched to Nu (didn’t find out she was top tier until a month after).
Location : Chicopee, MA
Strengths : I know how to react to counter hit, good zoning, can improvise if something goes wrong, and a solid mixup game.
Weaknesses : The Noel matchup, the Carl matchup, I can’t handle rushdown well, I can get too repetitive, I play a highly defensive Taokaka, inconsistency with combos (my execution isn’t so great which is something I gotta fix on my own).
Wants to learn : A better Taokaka, Rachel, and how to handle my weaknesses.
Instant messenger : AIM - konasotsundere

XBOX LIVE: Waverhouse

Main: Hakumen

Sub: Taokaka

Skill Level: Proficient with Hakumen. Taokaka is subpar, but still able.

Location: Tacoma, Washington (near Seattle).

Background History: Been messing around with various SF, KoF and crossover games since I was a kid. Didn’t really get serious until about KoF 2002 (or was it 2000? Can’t remember). Played Smash Bros games pretty seriously (actually went to some tournies). Still a little ashamed of that.

Strengths: Bragging is for chumps.

Weaknesses: In general, teching throws, escaping Jins ice blocks. Half the time I end up hopping left or right. In specific: the Noel matchup, Litchi matchup and keeping cool under high pressure attack strings like Bang. Nu and Arakune just like any Hakumen I suppose, but I try nonetheless.

Want to learn: The Noel and Litchi matchups, how to exploit holes in attack strings with my drive counter.
