Thanks guys, I’m not gonna be able to make it out tonight do to family plans but this is the vid I’m going to use as a template for my practice when I get my system back but and when I play. I know that most won’t be practical in certain situations but it might be good to know just in case the opportunity comes up. It’s really good, shoowed me a lot about what baiken can do with keeping pressure. It has a lot of FRC’S that the blue ones right? Her ground combos are what threw me with the questions with how that last hit is kinda like a launcher for air combos, and I think that the guy is frc’s out of the last part of the air combo to float back to cause more damage. I didn’t realize that you could do those windmill slashes(forgot what the moves called) that way to combo someone.

Kyle, just saw some faustings matches. Elvenshadow first round? Ouch. I almost went to that, but I was only in Chicago for a couple days and was kind of hanging with some friends and knew that if I went to a tournament, that would pretty much be a whole day down the drain. I’m going to try to make it to Captown Crunch and I hope that GG goes well there and at PowerUp.
lol, don’t come at me like that… Hold up first of all you were coo until you came at me like dat, but i’ll just hurry up and get down what i’m about to say to you.
Sir, that’s not DIGNITY right THERE, Who plays 3rd strike still? last I checked 3OE is dead, and no one wants to play any old fighting games anymore. Dignity keeps up with what’s new not digging up what’s left in the past. Only works in Reel Steel that’s if you’ve seen the movie.
I’ve already proved i’m the best, if ANYONE IN INDIANAPOLIS SAYS OTHER WISE then come please shut me up lol cause i’d be glad to bend you over prison style, [S]No[/S] Homo…
I’ll style in your own haircut! i’ve seen your hair style i’ll get me some gel of my own, swirl it and spike it out while maining blanka and beating you with your own character with dignity. You watch all them poongko videos and your still free =d GET AT ME, and barzaad your still waking up even now cause of this beating I gave you in this video [media=youtube]CsF0YyHccSM[/media] GET PUT ON BLAST SON NOW SIT DOWN.
lol, my dedication is basketball cause i’m big and black. Also watch that video above my post, can you describe exactly what happened that match sir? Is there anything you’d like to discuss on that beating? Is there? do YOU EVEN???
also back at riot guard, this is why you mad, no matter how much dignity you talk, you’ll never be able to hold as much dignity like you see here… I gave you sample dignities and you start flipping out. Sit down and keep playing old school games and run away from me some more GG

It was second round but yeah, I was amused when I heard they were going to stream that match. I was having some stick issues but I doubt it would have gone much better even without that, it’s a hard matchup and I have very little experience with it. The only thing I had going for me was that I used to play Faust so i at least know what he can do
First round I played a Potemkin player who was not bad but he couldn’t handle the Dizzy matchup and I won fairly easily. Second was Elvenshadow, and then I played a Jam player who was so bad I literally thought he was still button checking after the match had started. My last match was against an Axl and it came down to the very last round, but 2H failed me at a critical time as usual and I lost.
All in all I played a lot of casuals and it was a good time, although I question how things would have gone if Ephraim and I hadn’t been there to provide our setups.
Oh yeah? Sounds like you’re saying there weren’t too many setups. You should try to get a long set with chase magic next time you see him. His faust is strong. Maybe we can get him out to naptown.
There were a couple other setups but for an event that intended to include a big GG tournament they were pretty scarce.
I need to get back into improving my Dizzy skills, lately I’ve been mostly playing around with lots of different characters
Few comments from watching the vid, and glad you are aware that much of it isnt practical.
First off, it is a combo vid, so it doesnt necessarily display to a full effect the way a player in a real match has to be quick on their reactions. This is the biggest drawback I have with watching combo vids personally.
Another thing is Damage Scaling: http://www.dustloop.com/guides/ggac/data/dast.html
While the combos display ability and the cycle of normal/special cancels, it totally throws out the window damage scaling. You shouldnt worry about being able to pull off or master the combos in this vid as much as pulling off the best damage combos that Baiken can do. Unfort I dont know her best dmg combos so you will have to go to Dustloop for that, or try them in training mode yourself.
There are some good things to highlight from the vid tho
This is a great combo to learn (in vid against Millia) and I believe it works against all chars. Displays the in-air dash back to combo: (**edit, cant get time stamps to embed) 1min21sec mark
The property here is her j.5K (jump 5K, I believe this is the normal) that happens against Sol in the vid. Im not sure if it is safe or typically used, but important to note how her normals wont always have just the property of being a “hit”, as in this case it is a “hit and float/lift enemy”: (**edit, cant get time stamps to embed) 2min0sec mark
There is alot of Baiken success in this video, and someone has timestamped the matches as well, give this a view

and here is an additional Game Mechanics vid so to give you more options in your matches, the 1 Frame Jump

All baiken players should learn iad tatami.
easy Renegade. many folks still believe some of the older games are better than the newest incarnations. i like ST, that’s really old. Mario likes 3S, very old itself.
hey i’ll send you a conversation/pm. please read and at least think about it.
Last time I checked riot guard played both new and old games. Anyway, both of you are excellent players in AE. One of you is god like in third strike. Let that be that.
I didn’t say newer games were “better” i’m saying they should keep up with current games. You have any idea how salty I was about smash bros brawl? lol but I still moved onto it.
History shows the old will always lose and will never be like it “once was” gotta step out of the gutter.
No matter how cruel I sound, i’m always right about what I say, that’s why people like me =d I don’t bs I just come out and tell the truth and save everyone time.
OLD games will never make a return! Deal with it! Once SFV comes out ssf4 will slowly die out and fade away just like 3rd strike…
Look at what daigo plays at big tournaments and still practices til this day. Those are the games you should be practicing, lol.
If your trying to go competitive with a game, your better off choosing the most populars. If you go with the least popular games then you’ll be wasting time and money on it. I SAID IF YOUR GOING “COMPETITIVE” for the people that can’t read, but FUN games you can still go ahead and try but if you think your gonna just be like “i’mma take this game serious” then you’ve already screwed yourself UNLESS it’s popular. That’s how i’ll think about it.
Same with basketball! old rules will never make a return. Allen Iverson won’t ever do that broken cross over he got away with in 1996. THey nerfed his cross over lmao, it’s still good like ssf4 ae 2012 yang but it ain’t 2011 AE yang. Live with the current -_- or be left behind.
LOL, no child left behind! Do you even George Bush!?!?!?
random guy::: “I wanna get SERIOUS with skullgirls”!!!
Me::: lmao, good luck with that.
Sean - i read your pm, i understand ya playa! i really do. but i will say, bad choice of example on Daigo. from what i understand he is on record as saying his two favorite games in whatever order are ST & A3. oldschool classic stuff from the 90’s. he knows what’s good. :tup:
Arsenal Tonight, Kyle bring your GG setup since we have had 5 people playing the last two weeks.
=d, but yea don’t get me wrong I like the indy community, I say popular games are the way to go cause i’ve tried bringing up unpopular games that had “potential” but it’s just insane unless you have the resources to do so which none of us have and a few do have but even then it still fails. I know this because I tried doing that weak half no dignity dbz tournament LOL, and barzaad had my back so I can give him respect points.
“damn that dbz tournament failed bad” now that I brought it up, these guys are gonna remember now and gonna blow me up all day on it but it’s all good cause look here folks. If your going competitive just stick with the popular games to just save yourself time, no need to struggle =d, so yeah i’ll keep tabs. Also how long will zap be gone for? I need to see more of dat hair style.
Honestly if I can actually choose the top games i’d play it would be all 3d fighters.
#1 is soul calibur
#2 is dead or alive
btw I was insane at DOA, I still am but no one can beat me in that either so it doesn’t matter! I’M THE BEST IN DOA come at me please, or Soul calibur. get at me, but those aren’t as good as the up coming sf vs tekken, umvc3, mk9, ssf4 ae, popularity wise.
btw any doa or soul calibur, accepting challenges.
Speaking of Soul Calibur…
Anyone thinking about checking out the new one, next week? I think that I’m gonna give it a whirl.
Ezio O_O
Gregg-- I sent you a message on FB regarding a stream for NTC2. Get at me when you can
Also, if anyone wants to play VSAV for NTC2 I could potentially bring a supergun setup. Let me know if people are interested and we’ll get something going. It would definitely increase Cincy’s presence I think.
