    [Colorado] We are Higher than you

    I moved to Boulder for grad school between 5 and 6, is there a scene here? Is there a (non-facebook) central point of contact for events?

    looking for new character to main. any ideas?

    Probably not what you're looking to hear, but I think you might be more successful in the long run if you work to overcome what you perceive to be Mitsurugi's problems, rather than looking for a new main. I say this for a few reasons, not just to be difficult. In the first place, Mitsurugi has...

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    Console/region? I'm in Texas on the 360 and I can still do it fine. No patch download. Also no mention of a patch on the front page, and no patch notes announced ahead of time like before. ...you sure?

    Feel My Wrath: Mitsurugi Matchup Thread

    I would just add that while you are in the lab figuring out how to punish 4B with your favorite character(s), be aware of 4B6. In particular, MST A+B stuffs some weak advancing attacks for massive damage, and MST A catches kids that see 4B once and step for days ever after.

    Top 3 characters by Keev, Akire, Daishi, Hyrul, and RTD from World Finals

    This. This right here. I think pretty much everybody would like to see characters that need help buffed, rather than see effective characters nerfed. Character nerfs virtually always generate more salt than good. I don't play Raph or Siegfried, but I would MUCH rather see them get meaningful...

    What CE is the best(Gameplay wise)

    I think Mitsurugi's bears mention on utility alone. You can tack it on to pretty much half his moveset, it combos into itself, RO, W!, and scoops enemies off the ground. There are a lot of moves in the game that hit grounded, and a lot that RO/W!. There are not a lot of moves that can RO/W! FROM...

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    You get 100 with Clean Hit, I think. I'm pretty sure I've seen it, anyway.

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    It's 8 hits, but that's neither here nor there. I really don't see how a 100 damage combo breaks the game. In the first place, it's not completely outside the range achievable by other characters. Cervy, Hilde, Algol, and aPat can all get similar or greater damage under some circumstances...

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    And tier lists don't determine bans, overcentralization of a metagame does. Nobody thought Algol was unbeatable; just that beating him would become the focus (or at least, a major part) of anyone's game plan. IE if you didn't have a plan for Algol, don't bother playing. Not to say that super...

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    I have an empirical attitude about these sorts of things. When a major tournament has 4 Mitsu in the top 8, I think he's unfair. Same with any character. Until then, QQ elsewhere. Also, against people that don't want to step for whatever reason, I've found that i236(B) is an incredible guard...

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    I don't know if this will get enough attention to get immediately patched. The last patch seemed to be informed by forces other than what the members of this forum feel about balance. Whether or not this constitutes gamebreaking imbalance in our collective opinion is of tangential importance to...

    Old Man's Wisdom: Mitsurugi Combos

    It has been said already, but this shit is nuts. I don't pretend to have anything resembling the world's tightest execution, and I could do this consistently just after reading the description. 50%+ damage off of a 3B and one bar is insane. Mitsu isn't Cervy; Mitsu has 2KB. Mitsu connects 3B...

    Borderlands 2

    I don't mind specialization really, I'm just hoping one isn't obviously more powerful than the others this time around come endgame (cough Lilith cough)

    Shit IdleMind says that pisses you off

    I like watching insecure people rage sometimes. People who can't handle being told things in plain English are endlessly entertaining, and even if he did nothing else I think we should keep Idle around for that.

    Mitsurugi General Discussion and Q&A

    I feel like I've been having less trouble with it since the patch, but that might be placebo/practice paying off/wishful thinking.

    Mitsurugi General Discussion and Q&A

    Mitsu is powerful (in my opinion) because he is versatile. He has enough range to play an effective spacing+poking game against a significant portion of the cast, and is fast enough and safe enough to pressure the remainder effectively up close. If your plan isn't working (whether it's defensive...

    The Cepheus Store thread

    I'm not going to pretend to be the world's best player, because I'm not. I still have to laugh when I see people snap call other people elitists over the internet because their aspergers (or something?) interferes with their ability to detect sarcasm and otherwise communicate with adults. This...

    Mitsu Patch Changes

    The "official patch notes" on this site mention an unspecified damage reduction to 66_33_99BB. Is there an error in that post (most of the other damage reductions gave values) or is there a damage reduction? Magnitude? Also, while losing meter gain/guard burst is annoying, I still think we got...
