Tried out the Avermedia portable recorder and see if Sony Vegas ruins the files as badly as Fraps' and OBS'. Better, but frame drops are still there. :(

I played LXD on his stream last night and this matchup was requested by Dart, the notable Cloud main on the Dissidia Forums. Now, at this point Jecht vs. Zidane was mashed potatoes to me and an optional superboss to him, Cloud's tools were nowhere near as good as Jecht's for tackling Zidane as lethal as this. I would have to clash with Swift Attack to cover my dodge, LV2 escapes wouldn't net me anything that isn't Double Cut and one of Cloud's glaring weaknesses that is easily punishable HP links diminished my rewards a lot. His ground game wasn't nearly as threatening either, Firaga being the only mid priority move and even that Zidane can answer with Booster 9, which is, you guessed it, melee mid. He could go the distance and throw out Tidal Flame and Cloud couldn't answer it safely in any way.

I COULD use Aerith assist, but then I'd lose out on the big damage (Side by Side influx) and assist punishes in exchange for Double Cut chase traps. I didn't have much success with that move or at least, didn't have the meter game in my favor when it hit (Meteorain from Aerith is still punishable). Meanwhile LXD almost effortlessly whiff punished my stuff and sniped with Shift Break rectangle spawns into a lot of profit.

Cloud rides on the first hit even more than Jecht does and he also needs to mount more fearsome mental pressure than Jecht in one go. If he cannot achieve it, he has a long and hard road ahead of him.

In other news, Tekken 7 soundtrack has been floating on the internet for a bit. Tekken's latest always gets me very excited and for a dubstep oriented soundtrack it is very solid. The final stage tunes (both regular and final boss ones) make a fine detour from that direction, which is what you hear in this video.
