    -Wanna make your own exhibition for this week's R.A.W.?
    Make your voice known in the comments!!



    _____________________________________
    _____________________________________




    Are you interested in playing a long set on stream with commentary? ANYONE is invited, skill level is NOT a factor, and new players are encouraged to join in!

    Make a post and let us know you want to join!


    We want more people to commentate! ANYONE is invited to commentate, whether you are a vet or a new player, or if you wanna commentate or just laugh and joke with the players! During or before the sets begin, use Skype and send a message or friend request to 'blackstar2478' to join in on the call! Limited space in the XBL room will also be made available for those who want to use XBL Chat!


    How it works is like this:

    Reply on this thread with your gamertag, the date you (and your opponent, if applicable) are available, location you play from, and what you would like to do, and you will be placed on a list of 'interested players' on the opening post (this post).

    For example:
    or like this
    NOTE: If you have an opponent in mind, make sure that THEY REPLY IN THE THREAD TOO, OR THE REQUEST WON'T COUNT.

    Also, NOTE: FT10's take FOREVER, so only especially hype matches get to do those.


    IF YOU WANT A PRE-RAW INTERVIEW DONE, IT IS DONE BY REQUEST ONLY FROM NOW ON.
    So, in other words, if you want an interview, just ask and I'll do it. If you're a spectator, and IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE GET INTERVIEWED, just ask me as well, and i'll try and arrange one with them if they want.


    If there is a disconnection (DC) during a RAW set, neither player will win the match where the DC occurs (unless BLACKSTAR or designated person says otherwise).

    Instead, both players will play the next match by first allowing each player to willingly give up the same number of rounds they had lost in the previous DC'd match, before playing out the rest of the match.

    3 UNINTENTIONAL DC's are allowed in a RAW set. Any further DC's will result in the immediate end of the RAW set and a DRAW(can be overruled, if both participating players express that they wish to continue).

    ANY 1 DC DEEMED INTENTIONAL by BLACKSTAR or designated person will result in the IMMEDIATE disqualification and loss of the entire RAW set for the offending player. A subsequent BAN from participation in future RAW events may also occur.


    Sure, why not. Just see if your opponent is cool with it, and both of you guys let me know that that is what you want to do.


    Short answer: NO.

    Long answer: Unless you have a good reason where its ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to do RAW on a Sunday, then NO. Even if you do, note that we will work with you, but nothing will be guaranteed. I have my own life to live, after all. That being said, if you want to have a RAW match, but can't do Sundays, let us know here on the RAW thread, and we will work with you.

      Some thoughts while watching Blackstar vs Gastinell:

      Starting with a question: Gastinell sometimes does d+p+k,k > jab > sweep. Is that a modified combo vs crouching opponents? If so, good reflexes!

      Gastinell succumbs to Backwards Slide punch sabaki a couple of times. Usually after f+p,p > FS > BS.

      Don't wall jump when the opponent is obviously waiting at the middle of the ring for you :)

      Both are punishing blocked f+p,k with f+p,k. I was expecting a more damaging punish. Blackstar does k,p at some point - which apparently does not launch on recovery hit in this version (news to me). But IIRC f+p,k is SO unsafe sarah can even use db+k to punish it!

      Zero blocked sweeps. No, 1 blocked sweep. Not punished (gastinell inputs f+k,k too late, gets blocked). Oh, second blocked sweep in the same match, this time punished properly with db+k launch! We had to wait until 10 matches (5-5) into the game to see a proper blocked sweep punish. Oh, and a successful uf+k on wakeup in the same match, madness.

      Maybe three uf+k up until now?

      6-5 match: Blocked d+k by blackstar > d+p punish. Gastinell blocks low sweep > just stands there.

      8-5 match: gastinell punishes f+p,k with d+p+k,k. First time in the match. Then blackstar blocks a f+p,k and punsihes with p,k. I'm confused - when i play vs Sarah, i'm actively waiting to punish this move. I swear, in my head i'm like "c'mon c'mon c'mon don't hitcheck f+p,k, you know you want to c'mon - oh, here it is LET ME TAkE YOU FOR A RIDE *MvC2 music*". Next round gastinell blocks f+p,k and punishes with f+p,k. Back to square one. Couple of seconds later falls for f+p,p > BS sabaki again.

      Last game Gastinell blocks f+p+k,df+p,k+g and does not punish due to pushback. 4th round, blocked df+k,k no punish. All in all i think both played well, combos were on point, i was just surprised to see them not punishing optimally, that's all. Oh and a distinct lack of uf+k on wakeup. But, again, good games.

      Online is a mother. I can attest to pressing the input for a punisher, but the punish doesn't come out because I buffered it too early. Sometimes we compensate too hard!

      That's why I like Jacky's 3ppp. I can just mash it everytime

      Ask anyone I know, and they will tell u I suck at punishing. that set showed everyone how bad i am at it. I honestly don't think about it until it's too late. Something im working on, i guess.

      Sorry guys, i don't know why i focused on punishing that much.I realize there were other stuff missing, like u+k+g or b+k. I guess i was influenced by the way *i* tend to fight against Sarah, my bad.

      Anyway i found the time to pursue with the vid and watched the VFNumbers vs Gastinell match. Wow. I have to agree, Gastinell should focus on Lei Fei. He was being far, far more creative with him than with Sarah. Waiting for the inevitable VFNumbers grudge match :)

      BTW commentary was rich as usual; thank you for an particularly entertaining RAW this week.

      We tried psn and its consistently terrible and inconvenient for everyone involved, unfortunately. So we're back to focusing on Xbox 360 like how R.A.W. originally started.

      I'm glad to see that u are interested though, that's pretty cool
