Another Long-Awaited Update: BlazBlue @ Local Arcade, Feather Inflation? WTB Kooh Feather

It's finals week at college, so I apologize once more for the lack of updates.

Game Rice: BlazBlue @ Sunnyvale Golfland, CA, USA

So recently my local arcade has received a brand new BlazBlue cabinet. BlazBlue is the newest game by Arc System Works which takes place 10 years after its predecessor, the Guilty Gear series. What do I like about it? Everything; as an avid player of Melty Blood and dabbling in Guilty Gear, it's become an opportunity for the locals that were separated into their own respectable games for tournaments and events to come together and fight it out.

Since the game had a simultaneous release all over the country (In other words, Japan didn't have the game before the USA, and vice versa) the whole air about the game is absolutely fun; there's no professional beasting everyone else, and people are learning fast.

More info as tournaments and other events arise; for now, I need to practice for the tournament on the 20th; and judging by the 23 wins in a row I got on the cabinet today, I must be doing something right, hahaha.

What character do I play?

Arguably the best one, hahaha.

Pang Rice: Feather Inflation?! WTB Kooh Feather

The above in the presence of greater than 7m wind, gives 1 pixel of pangya bar.
1st Week of Release: 200-300k Each
Next Week of Release: 150k-180k Each
Next Week of Release: 140k+ Each
This Week: 240+k?!

Honestly, what is going on? I expected these feathers to DROP in price but all of a sudden these bloody things are EXPENSIVE. I expected them to fall to 5 digits this week. I really don't play Albatross18 as much as I used do (Mostly due to being busy with other side projects), but honestly to get a decent Kooh feather or something is so shockingly inflated! Why in the world is there such an occurrence? I don't have any explanation for the behavior of its price. Sure, it's 1 pixel gain, and its own slot, but the pang economy has no real reason to bloat it all of a sudden. Strange market...

Incidentally I'll give a kidney for Kooh's feather. I really would like one, and I've spent 200k attempting for it, down to my last 100k. I'll pay 100k straight off, or we can talk gifts of Astros (200 Astros for 3 Feathers). Whoever is interested, please leave a comment below, and thank you for your charity in advance.

Until next time, I wish you good chip-ins.
