call me bunnii

SO... I've just been super sleepy and drained... lol

But the other night i visited a fighting game meet at a local gaming bar with my partner for a date! Was nervous to ask how to get involved, because there were also just normal patrons coming in for drinks and other games too, but luckily someone noticed us hovering around and we got set up on a PS4 with SOOOOO MANY GAMES ON IT!
We tried King of Fighters 13 (I hoped to try Shermie but she isn't in 13 it seems... BUT ASH?? OOh what a lovely fighter! Super cute!), Some Blazblue crossover game that included Persona and RWBY characters among others, Pocket Fighter which is a super fun silly chibi capcom fighter, and a few others. Really enjoyed my night! 

I was going to try and go to another seperate meet today but i'm feeling super crampy and pained today and just wanted to stay home in my oodie, ough....

oH! Also!! My partner ordered me a leverless controller for my birthday and it arrived!! We tried this one out when we visited BAM15, and I have been interested in one for a long while now (a bitch struggles with smooth motion inputs >.<) It's a learning curve, but i think it already feels like i'm making better motions! I can just DO the DP motion now :00000 
I love it and i'm so lucky QAQ 

Here are some pics of it i took with my dumb phone, so the quality aint great APOLOGIES! 

but lookit my Brisket keychain i stuck to the controller <3 <3

 Time to practice~~ yippee!

• Reacting to jump ins with anti-airs

• Accidentally using raging strike (M+H) instead of valuable specials (like 236L/H) after one string of normals all the time and running out of BP 

• Holy hell i'm blocking much more? Much much more than I used to, and that alone has been very helpful lmao xD

I haven't gotten to do as many ranked or online matches recently, a vast majority of the games i do find have super crazy ping (230 if i'm lucky, but generally around the 300's to 500 ughh qAq) so they have been super slow and stressful matches to play and both opponent and i tend leave after one match.

My lovie plays the same game with the same ethernet connection and his games are SO MUCH MORE FLUID, like, barely noticeable if it does lag at all for the most part! I'm under the impression that beause i'm a lower level fighter than him (he's not far from S rank and still climbing) that there are just less people in my range who are also closer to the Oceania region for comfy ping. Also perhaps, tending to play later in the day or earlier while people might be working as i do could be affecting my pool of opponents. here's hoping..... that when i try at a more after workies, just after dinnies type of hour i can find some smoother fights!

Either that, or i will desperately have to find some irl people other than my partner to play this game with @v@;;

Wish me luck!
