Last Blade 2 tournament

OK, we have enough people to start the tourney.

I, as the host of this tourney, announce that the tourney has started. Please contact your corresponding match up player.

Good luck!

I am an O. Keade user and though its a glitch and I dont favir them. Why is O keade glitch banned? not near and infinite and with his default damage output the way it is. I can see him benefiting little from it.

Im not saying alllow it but why is it banned?

I was thinking of banning all glitches, but then some people complained about Moriya’s AC glitch. Well, with enough support for his AC glitch, it sorta passed. Well, it seems that O. Kaede is at a bit disadvantage.
Let’s see what others have to say about allowing it.

Bah, too late! Though I would be unavailable next week. Next time, next time!

Hope for a competitive fight between y’all!

Im actully not to confident in using him this time. I’ll do better sticking with yuki all the way this time.

I hate to complain about the original kaede glitch after arguing for the moriya glitch but i personally think its far too broken. It essentially allows for an immediate 3-hit overhead attack that can be linked into any combo making blocking his attacks nearly impossible. All u gotta do is small jump, instantly throw out a c which is very fast and angled downwards allowing it to hit even a crouching opponent, then wait till ur at the apex of the jump, qcf+b, qcf+A, land, combo.

P.S. Am I just reading the tourny matchup diagram wrong or do the losers from the semifinals in the winners bracket not get a second chance?

Aw…oh well I guess. Have to use yuki then

*wins his match

Also, Hajime! For the love of whichever god and/or deity you worship:

He can also keep chaining normals as long as he’s in the air, so there’s nothing to stop him from just blitzing the hell out of you with crazy air chains.

Ive recorded the matches on my webcambut its not good in quality a due to angle adjustment im missing part of the screen.

OK, guys, can you post your match result in the format specified in the format described in the first post? it’s right after the brackets.

PLEASE PLEASE READ EVERYTHING ON THE FIRST POST!!!

Also, regarding the format of the brackets, I’m sticking to what I have right now.

Stafos knight vs Keo-bas

seriously wtf is this shit with my first opponent only having an email for a contact
im not gonna hunt the kid thru emails
u need to make some form of im program a requirement for participating

muukuu beats me 2-0
p-mukoro - p hibiki

i used speed moriya and speed shigen

also wtf with being able to switch your characters when u dont lose?
i thought it was only u could switch your groove

and im dropping out i didnt notice u were mame .64 only
that emu is shit

this is mame64 only? fuck I practiced power lee links for at least like 5 hours in nfba. I am also going to be dropping out if this is the case.

First off, I would like to say, you fail. If Hagure is banned, you can’t switch your characters after winning a match. For the last blade deprived: Hagure is Akari’s paper doll that takes the form of the opponent. A code can be used to have him for the entire match generating a mirror match.

As long as both people agree, I’m sure you can use a different emulator if there are no emulator specific bugs. Also, if your total playtime of LB2 is equal to or less than 24 hours, I wouldn’t fancy your chances. nFBA is nice for 3s, it’s not nice for anything that uses the neogeo bios. If/until GGPO supports LB2, FBA is a horrible choice for it… Also, I can do the same combos easier on mame, wachoo bitchin’ about?

I agree with what Stafos said about nFBA. It might be a great EMU, but the NeoGeo BIOS situation is a deal breaker. Online competitive play pretty much demands that you run the game in home mode, and that’s a royal pain in the ass on nFBA. The situation might be different if the BIOS could be distributed with the EMU, but I think we all understand that there are legal limitations in that respect. I also have issues with the way controls are mapped in NFBA.

Personally, I do not agree with allowing Hagure or changing characters after a win. I suggested to Hajime that we allow character changes in the event of a loss only. Unfortunately, he either expanded this to allow for character changing in the event of a win or a loss, or he didn’t properly clarify the rules.

I hope RushedDown and EvilSamurai reconsider dropping out.

Why don’t you just use MAMEPPK 0.119? It’s not nFBA, but it beats the shit out of 0.64 for delay.
You can get it easily from the official kaillera website.

Also, nFBA might not be preferable because of stages with lag, but the arcade tournaments don’t have access to a stage select, and they put up with it, so that’s something to think about.

As far as I saw when I tested LB2 on nFBA it had the same slowdown problems as Mame 0.64. IMO the laggy stages are more game-breaking than Mame 0.64’s extra frame of input lag because they’re not consistent. In short, I don’t think there’s any single flaw in Mame 0.64 that should cause someone to drop out of the tournament. Either way, the time to argue about emulators was before the tournament started.

I’ll concede the point that the community should move away from Mame 0.64. This is why I tested nFBA.

One thing regarding your comment about arcade tournaments. In tournament videos it doesn’t seem that the slowdown problem is as noticeable. It could just be because I’m watching, and not playing.

[Edit] After looking closely at some match vids the slowdown is apparent. However, they don’t have to wrestle with input delay, and network lag which are factors in online play. I still believe it’s not a fair comparison.

so i fail huh
the person i played reset and switch their character after they won the first match
and i said wtf and they replied its allowed
i only entered to help u guys fill a cap for a game i dont play cause yall was struggling to get 12 players…

so dont tell me i fail at shit son

and unfortunatley i will not reconsider playing .64 is beyond garbage
i only keep that shit around to play 4 player xvsf with a friend sometimes
