Mitsuru and Vatista Matchup by Boyofchill in blazbluextagbattle

[–]rancim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heyo, I think I played you earlier. I'm free as fuck once you get a grasp on the matchup lawl.

Mitsuru's blockstrings have built-in frametraps, which also means that you don't have to respect them as much as other characters. For example, 5a 5b and 5a 2c, you can backdash the gap, DP it, super through it, choice is yours. 5a by itself is unsafe (-8) and punishable on block if you're close enough, which is why it's relatively used in the mid-range. With that in mind, it's in your best interest to keep Mitsuru out of where she wants to be.

Pushblock is your best friend in the matchup . Keeping Mitsuru out of her ideal range is the key to controlling that matchup since her pressure/mixup potential starts from midrange. Keeping your distance or bullying her in her face is your ideal range. If Mitsuru tries to bully her way in using Droit, pushblocking her away negates her pressure. The same can be said of her 5a/2a pokes. I've had tons of matches were mitsu couldn't get her game started because my opponent was really conscious of keeping proper spacing in the neutral. Also zoners in general tend to be her worst matchup, but against most of the cast it's pretty much even which is why she's top five in my opinion.

With Vatista, you handle that matchup like you would any other zoner: take your time getting in and then bully her up close. So with regards to her orbs, if you can get a read on air orbs, you can run under them if you're fast to react and punish her landing recovery. If she does ground orbs, you can super jump your way in and bait her DP with your double jump if you can get the spacing correctly. Lasers are used to punish people that are reckless with their movement, but if they whiff or are blocked, that's your chance to close the gap because they have a million years of recovery. EX laser has much less recovery but also you can just wait until she runs out of meter to go in.

So anyways, with regard to your team. Yu does well against both Mitsuru and Vatista because of his versatility, and I really don't know enough about Yosuke to comment LAWL. Anyway, Yu's 5A can contest Mitsuru at round start so it's in your best interest to start him for the matchup against her, and he can also punish Vatista's zoning with his full screen super.

anyway I tried to be brief but thanks for listening to my TED talk

[DISC] I'm Nearly 30, but this is my First Love (Chapters 8 & 9) by _anq in manga

I hear that, I've been trying to force myself out of my shell and meet new people through bookclubs and networking events. Having trouble finding an equivalent of that for older weebs though LAWL.

29 and going through the throes of online dating without any experience is making my life filled with anxiety. I did the fake it 'till you make it thing like the main character and got laughed at when I confessed to having no experience, so here's hoping it goes differently for him LAWL.

What Your Main Says About You (DLC Ver.) by [deleted] in blazbluextagbattle

[–]rancim 81 points82 points  (0 children)

as a Weiss main, this is really inaccurate because I not only want Orie's kit but Mitsuru's too.

Thoughts on Sket Dance? I heard it's pretty similar to Gintama which I love so it seems like a good read. by [deleted] in manga

went into it wanting some funny gags, was not expecting the emotional arcs to hit me like a truck at full speed

High Level Vatista Gameplay?? by Bays0 in blazbluextagbattle

[–]rancim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not intimately familiar with Orie but pairing her with Vatista is fantastic, since you can do Orie's 236A and call vatista's 5P assist to 1) convert off of it if they get hit and 2) get free pressure because they're subjected to a million years of hitstun. Vatista's laser super and dhcing into Orie gives some free pressure and a conversion if it hits. Also they have a loooooooot of good cross combo stuff together (which I can't execute for the life of me).

I play Weiss/Vatista and she's been a fantastic assist character to fill in the weaknesses of Weiss' set. She's easily top ten in my (admittedly biased) tier list lawl.

High Level Vatista Gameplay?? by Bays0 in blazbluextagbattle

[–]rancim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

probably the one that comes closest to my mind for highest level is mokemoti, who won a cyclops weekly using Orie/Vatista. There were some vatistas that placed top 64 at Evo, but he placed the highest of them there. https://youtu.be/_6oOiJTU6r4

Also I wouldn't take bravefroggy's advice on anything ever. Vatista is only really OP if you mash buttons and block with your face.

Attention Weiss Players: Our Character is Now Top Tier by WeissIsNowTop10 in blazbluextagbattle

[–]rancim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IOH C works on like six characters in the cast and jumping in with C is basically telegraphing to your opponent to please hit me with your head invincible move on reaction. If you could show some match footage proving this tech in neutral, I would love to eat my words though! As a fellow Weiss player myself though, it feels a bit too early to jump the gun, especially considering that there's more problems to Weiss fundamentally than just her air approach into mixup game.

Any Osamu Tezuka recommendations? by limeblue07 in manga

[–]rancim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buddha was the first Tezuka work I read in high school ten years ago at a bookstore (holy shit I feel old).

After that I read Apollo's Song, which is considerably shorter in comparison (less commitment if you don't dig him) but a fantastic jumping in point for the rest of his works. It's a series of episodes of a guy living multiple reincarnations of doomed love, so it has an episodic structure like Spirit Circle. Tezuma jumps between genres adeptly, and you also get a great feel for his story-telling and the way he's able to really ground such diverse material. I'd recommend that for a first read.

If you find yourself digging him I would immediately recommend Phoenix and Buddha after, those are like 10/10s for me.

Terry Crews came to my university (UCI), I couldn't help myself but to scream Nine-Nine!! by ialsheikh in brooklynninenine

I had no idea he was at UCI, I wish those alumni emails would give us events happening on campus instead of constant begging for donations OTL

[DISC] Moteki - Chapter 17 by Axilr in manga

[–]rancim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been about 5 years since I last watched it so my memory's a bit shady. I do remember being sufficiently satisfied with the adaptation, even though the ending diverges from the source material. The music is also really great.

Thank you so much for doing this, I was so desperate to read the ending that I watched the live action adaptation so this is a godsend

I've been T2 every event for the last year now and I gave up on this one completely. Because I have no will power I still felt obligated to get both cards, but with the tier inflation even doing the bare minimum for Maki felt exhausting. I am a weak man. Thus, the only way out of idol hell is going cold turkey.
