The backstep nerf actually buffed some characters. Anyway Russell, you should go play NM. Lot's of mixups, good wakes, nice RO, and above average damage. You'll have lots of fun.
How long do you guys think you'll play for? I'm also working today as well. But maybe I can come after dinner. Anyway, I have Wallace's number. I'll call him later tonight.
Not sure if anyone has tried this out post-patch. Go into training mode, pick Leixia as your opponent, set AI to guard all, and do 66A at point blank range. It'll whiff randomly. I've whiffed it 5 consecutive times. If you put some space between the characters, it won't whiff. I'm not sure...
Not as effective as pre-patch. Now you have to stand there and take the mixups like a man! Seems like Namco wants the game play to be even more aggressive as if it wasn't enough pre-patch. I guess they did try to offset the nerfed backstep by nerfing some character's attacks that damage the...

Nerfed backstep makes me sad. So hard to space with mid-ranged fighters now... grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I have to unlearn my backstep now. :( I see how this is going to hurt characters like Xiba and Seig.
So NamcoBandai brings out the nerf bat! lol. Why couldn't they just buff the ones that needed buffing? Anyway... I've been learning a new character as some of you already know. I think I'm going to stick to this one for a while, which means no more Xiba unfortunately. For those who don't...
Good luck to everyone who's going to the tourney tomorrow. I regret to say that I won't be able to participate either due to work. I was looking forward to using my secondary too.
moneymuffins vs. page was hilarious.
GGs to Kowtow and the Hilde player (sry I didn't catch your name). I wanted to play against more Buffalo players; maybe we can do it next time.
Grats to Partisan. Solid defense. I need to have your reaction time. Maybe I'm getting too old for fighting...
