I actually got some nasty new stuff that I probably can't do on your connection lol

[octopus]

I'll get a new xbox sometime soon but I'm waiting for E3 to see if they'll announce a price drop. I'll play you leroy! :D I want to practice point Double.

It sucks too, because in the Lab, my connection is so much better than when in the dorm. Playing Tera here lag free = win.

[Callisto]

Going to be playing BB most of the week but I'm hoping to do a little write-up and video of Valentine/Filia tech to post here. I'm going to try to hit up JetM for some input as well.

[Chun Liroy]

Dude that bodied you? Heh

[Callisto]

Yeah, prior to meeting him there he's actually popped in to my streams of locals and chatted before, I think he's current the top Valentine out there.

[Chun Liroy]

I haven't watched top 4 yet, what team won? Any good painwheels in the tourny I should look at?

[octopus]

Valentine/Double won. All of top 8 were good, you should watch all of them :D

[Callisto]

konkrete, local guy with a great Painwheel

[Thulius]

I'm going to try to hit up JetM for some input as well.

You're definitely looking at the right guy for Valentine. Jetm's got the best Valentine by far right now, so much better than anyone outside of the cincinnati/columbus scene realizes. The only thing holding him back is tournament nerves.

[Callisto]

When he dropped that throw > cr.hp against me I could feel him cringe a bit, we were laughing a bit after the match over it because that shit happens to me all the time on that setup and all our local players never believe me that there's some sort of weird hitch there lol.

Not a lot of people play Val around me, I'm probably one of the better ones locally, which matters for jack crap since I drop easy chains as soon as I get into a match that means something and get beat down in the corner too often.

[Kaisha]

Regarding the potential speed update, I could really go for a manual frame-skip slider for random fucking around, particular if you could use it online in player matches.

Crank 'er up to 300% and have some uncontrollable fun, assuming the game can even keep up.

[octopus]

Oh, and Filia can continue combos off air hairballs now. It's pretty sick, though not damaging at all. I didn't really have much time with the build, but I think it just recovered faster overall. More reset opportunities off of that for sure.

More changes from Mike Z at the Mix Up:
http://shoryuken.com/2012/06/04/near...at-the-mix-up/

• 5 frame chain buffer has been applied to jump and double jump cancels too.
• Move Lists have been created.
• Sparring mode now loads the exact game state of when you turned it on when you turn it off.
• Input display has been entered, still buggy. It includes inputs on the bottom of the screen and a “custom assist” stick and button real time layout.

• Unranked will let you see your opponent selecting your custom assist.
• New tutorials are being worked on… though they aren’t the tutorials we are expecting.

Peacock

• Peacock Milk Chan has no shading on it.
• You can no longer DHC out of Lenny before he comes out.
• Peacock’s hit invincible gun now is invincible through the active frames.
• Lenny now does about 1,500 more damage on hit and more chip on block.
• Peacock’s bottle item drop no longer knocks you the wrong way.

Parasoul

• No Chun-Li pallete Parasoul.
• Napalm Pillar lost three frames of invulnerability after the end of the hit.
• Parasoul’s Jumping HP has been extended back toward her to prevent whiffing at close range in a corner.
• Parasouls’ jumping MK starts floating faster. After stopping the float you are immediately able to act.
• Bike super’s hit-stop changed to help them combo better. Increased DHC window by eight frames.
• Parasoul’s tear explosions do three frames less block stun.

Filia

• Gregor Samson has +3 Frames of Recovery.
• Hairball now combos to Gregor Samson on all characters.
• Squiggly requires changes to the game system to work. Those changes will be implemented in this patch but no one will use them.
• You can now combo off of air hairballs.

Painwheel

• Buer Thresher (Air Super) has had its minimum damage increased.
• Buer Thresher leaves you in normal jump afterward, so you can fly or do specials afterward.
• Painwheel moves up slower when the screen scrolls upward, allowing characters to hit her out of flight with a super jump.
• Painwheel can no longer rev her pinion dash for extended time after a match.

Valentine

• Valentine’s green poison now reduces 2/3rds as fast while in hit-stun, up from 1/2.
• Savage Bypass now recovers faster. You can now hit the floor after an air Savage Bypass to do a ground EKG. You can also now combo off the wallbounce in a corner without using your OTG.

Double

• Double’s HK Hornet Bomber now has a gap between the last two hits so you can punish her in the middle of it on block.
• Double’s Jumping HP has been given five more frames of hit-stun, up from previous changed version of 27 frames to 32.
• Gradius head rings have been given reduced hit-stun. No longer combos from full screen when mashing.
• Gradius head invincibility wears off as soon as you press a button.

Cerebella

• Cerebella was nerfed by 50-75 on every normal hit (not command normals, specials, and supers). This translates to a loss of 700-1400 on combos.
• Cerebella’s DP throw option select has been removed.
• Ceretemkin color palate will be paid DLC.

Ms. Fortune

• Ms. Fortune’s overhead rekka is slightly faster.
• Using head recall now forces you to go through 9 frames of animation, making head recall cancels less useful.

[Callisto]

These patches are still like...99% perfect and 1% wtf. Parasoul's j.HP getting slightly buffed...despite already being possibly the single best air normal in the game. Gregor Samson getting slower recovery....while already recovering just barely fast enough to follow up the wall bounce with something other than another Gregor on heavier characters.

[Chun Liroy]

Finally bought this... I'm terrible at teching even when I know it's coming D:

[Callisto]

Throw techs are incredibly hard in this game if you try to just time them correctly, but you can mash throw techs and have out come out. Also don't forget there's no crouch teching in this game.

[Chun Liroy]

Hmmm maybe that explains it.

[Insanecyclone]

Can't decide on what to buy first. This or VF5 FS.

[Callisto]

I'd say this because I'm a fanboy of it, but I can't shit on FS at all, we got an early copy at our weeklies and it looks good
