Haha, how funny you ask me that today. I "officially" decided yesterday to drop him. I feel he has a hard time getting in against turtles and solid steppers and rangers, and to add to all that I only hit iMCF 50% of the time at best =/ I think if my execution was better I'd stick with him.
No button binding? You sir, are legit. Props.
EDIT: So I tried this for about 20 minutes earlier and it's way harder than Furzy makes it seem, dude is a G with his tchnical abilities so even more props to him. It seems button binding might still be the way to go for this old man.
I still think KrayzieCD might have to be the NorCal favorite even with the patch. It's just overall solid gameplay and judgement that makes him good, no gimmicks. The patch stuff didn't weigh heavy into his game.
But I'm going to say Cedric (Viola Patch FTW! Cedric was very solid before but he...
Haha, I know you have an inane hate for Xiba but the answer to him being "spammy" was easy, just block 2 strings (6A and 6B). He's an all CH character in order to maximize damage so the answer was not that difficult. But I'm not even speaking from an unjust stand point, I'm speaking from a...
Honestly, It doesn't matter if it fair or not, it is what is is. It's just that right now is the window for everyone to "bitch". It seems the majority of people got nerfed. Xiba, Maxi, Leixa and Natsu seem to have been hit the hardest. You would think that after all these years of patching...
RAAAAPED.
I'm so disheartened at the fact that they raped a character that wasn't even top tier. Seriously, he was probably one of the hardest hit. Xiba's BIGGEST weakness has always been (imo) that he doesn't have the tools to initiate an aggressive offense, and with this system where guard...
Xiba got raaaaaaaaaaaped! Hahaha, why would you nerf so hard a character that wasn't even top tier? At least Yoshi got only two nerfs as oppose to Xiba and Maxi, so I guess that in itself is a "buff".
Bro, you just dropped some mad knowledge on me. I thought that the Ear Slicer and iMCF timing were the same timing. I had no idea the input window was different, that explains a lot. So the iMCF and MCF have to be done faster than a:B+K? Can you drop the exact frama data for both? (as far as...
Funny you mention that, I had deciphered that hitting down at the right moment HAD to be the issue since the timing essentially the same as the a:B+K as far as execution goes. Do you have anymore specific advice or tips for hitting down at the correct timing? Any particular methods or tricks...
Oboro, I switched to Kilik towards the end of my SC2 tenure (which is why I main Xiba now) and I went to through that exact entire series of questions through SC3, a bit of 4 and now 5; why are you raping my character! (aside from the ws B which was the best addition added to 3/4 but ironically...
+1
First time in my entire life I've ever button bound :(I feel very dirty having to do it but I am 100% sure I would not be able to do ear slicer at all without it. How can I be so sure? Because my success rate of trying to do a:B+K on a stick after several hours was officially 0%.

Loquori has the cutest daughter ever. It was awesome to see old faces and new.
Also, mad props must be given to Hates, the true winner of this tourney. Anyone who saw otherwise is blind... And a loser.
Also, props to Krayzie and Cedric who placed right behind Hates.
Great tourney and stream. Personally, I felt RTDs Mitsu was point on and sick. Ive "known" Rob since SC2 (TTT even) and he's always been a solid spacer/turtle player. Just a solid fundamentals guy, and combined with X, he was THE guy to beat. If you could beat Rob, you were top tier. Anyway...
Loquori! So good to hear from you man, It's been ages! Did we play each other online? I don't remember seeing your handle. But I have to apologize if we did, during those late night sessions I'm on auto pilot. I'm usually browsing the web while waiting for a room/fight so when it actually begins...
Krazie, with Srayer it feels almost like once a round. I haven't found a way quite yet but I'm finally starting to not let Spencer completely walk over me... Now he only walks over me about 80% rather than 90% (I mean that literally too, when he does his back throws)
Nothing spectacular, just working our way back from the bottom. Spencer is actually the only other person I've played live. Me Xiba and him Astaroth. Hopefully we'll make one of your gatherings. I just found out from Bryant this morning through AIM that there was one in San Mateo. That's a good...
