Are they out yet? I thought a bunch of new gems were supposed to come out with the costumes, but there aren't any in the store, last I checked.
Also, I'm down for a session right now, if you want to play. |

My bud, as usual, is on Battlefield 3. The new gems are already in there just head to the station. Some new ways to get boosts. A few bullshit ones that invalidate older gems. New assist stuff for the little sisters of the world. Pandora and Cross Assault extenders should be interesting but very costly (a whole gem slot).

Oh boy, an extender for cross assault. So it can be utterly useless for another 10 seconds?
I'll probably be on for another couple hours if your friend decides he's done shooting people. |

Sorry I didn't arrive. Was having an unusually hype extended session with my roommate. He's coming to gripes with his Chun/Steve team and I'm making sure Cammy is the biggest bitch ever. We found some interesting uses for Pandora; the extender gem works well and gives you time to lock down a runaway. He found that activating Pandora in response gives him the life buff to defend himself while my time runs out. It was fun.
Asuka's really finding her way, I can't wait to see how she fares against you guys. Nina is so good, I will pick her back in Tekken. She's relentless. Will be online this week for some lobbies if I can. |

New gems and colors are out.
2 sets of gems exclusively for SF characters, and the same for Tekken. One normal set of colors and one special. Special isn't chrome, but this shiny plastic look. Kind of like hakan when he's oiled up. Interesting that when I went to use them, there were actually 8 special colors but I could only access 4. Clicking on the locked one brought me to the pack that I already purchased. Downloading it again didn't unlock it. Hope they fix it because I want the red one. New normal colors are blue, purple, pink, and yellow. All a very slight shade lighter or darker than the ones we already have. Kind of dissapointing, as I was hoping for orange, or a darker red or blue. Or a more vibrant white that doesn't look grey. |

Had a 4plyr session with the roommates. Kalyx/Jazzi beat down D-Rep/Wolf rather convincingly with a Cammy/Nina team. Their Steve/Law team is finding their footing, though.

Dude should be commended for even attempting Steve. Guy is so hard to use, with very little going for him.
I'm trying, just because I like the idea of his playstyle, but I'm expecting buffs in the near future, to say the least. |

Steve looks like he can throw a good pressure game, and projectiles should mean squat to him.

I don't understand how to get out of pressure.
link combo, cross up, link combo, cross up etc. When they don't jump in, they are far enough away after the link that I can't jump in. Getting ass raped all the time is getting frustrating. |

Not with the right people. At least with my experience playing the game. Kalyx, Blitz, Roxer are all fun matches.
Even Khuntry, even though he uses that high pressure stuff a lot, and wins most matches, they are usually pretty close, and I still have fun. My biggest gripe is still not being able to set an infinite timer. that is a definite issue. |

Rolling completely nullify cross-ups though.

I'm talking about on block. These link combos that are really difficult to punish, if at all possible, and then they follow with the cross up and repeat the whole thing.
You can go for a DP as soon as the link finishes, but if they don't cross up, then you get punished hard. dunno |

Also, rolling isn't invincible, fyi. There is a very small frame in which you can get hit out of it. I only use it if I know I'm safe.

We all have to remember alpha counters are in the game. I forget a lot, but I'm doing it more often against pressure.

Had a great session with Fignuts and Khuntry last night. Khuntry after me and Fignuts 'traded ideals'. It was back and forth, then Khuntry came and I kinda lost some steam with too many mistakes.
Got caught with Fignuts King counters a lot. Had to reassess myself after a few rounds. Cammy's jump cancel cross-up barrage is doing well, but Fugnuts adjusted to it fairly quickly. Gonna add some new branches to it to mix it up. And for the record, the neutral jump is always a mistake - I would cross-up all day otherwise, especially with speed gems all on. Watching Khuntry pick up Cammy is interesting to me, as his approach is different. His Raven is just unusual. Like Abel in SSF4 I just go blank and have no idea how to begin fighting him. Heihachi's fireball deflection is indeed news to me. Had an interesting moment where I activated Pandora on Nina and I damn near won. I should have finished that juggle with a special, but perhaps the time would have run out anyway. I promise my Asuka is better than what you seen. Off night for me and her. Jin was also blah but I just wasn't excited to play him last night. I was on him 24/7 at launch but now I'm more interested in where I can take Nina and Asuka. Ken is Ken and Cammy does what she does. |

I think with any combination, of Juri, Julia, Ryu, Heihachi, and King, I can do really well. Outside of that circle though, I'm definitely lacking. I want to add a couple more characters to my main stable, but I'm not sure who.

Don't give me that shit, I barely even like this game. I should go trade it in before it becomes completely worthless, but I'm waiting for the character DLC to drop since 6 of the 12, I'm actually really likely to use and I wanna give it one last chance..

Yeah, just checked that today. Probably gonna trade it in for Kingdoms of Amalur. Not been gaming a lot on the whole lately, as my irl social life has kinda gotten outta control. Any time you see me online I'm either doing a couple of missions here and there on Mass Effect 2, playing online in Mass Effect 3 or watching The Boondocks or Fist of the North Star on Crackle while horribly hungover.
I miss the old SSF4 lobbies, but this game just doesn't do it for me. It's comborific, which is all good, but it feels weird and off to me somehow. Plus I fucking hate that they still haven't fixed the analog stick jumping issue. Nothing like getting ready to punish a guy from the air only to jump straight up and eat a 15 hit combo. |
