Next tourney. All arc. *jk*

What if I pick up Hime??

Youtube videos. Yes. Time to watch how trash I am because I haven't played on stick since 4 years because my buttons are broken. Not to mention trying to do MBAC strings with all the returning cast.

If you need someone with low skill-level (atm, anyway), I'm down for netplay, too.

Note to self: I should probably buy new buttons and fix this sucker. Or at least rewire the working ones into the right layout.

Shit. I was in the lab with F Hime today.
Guess I'll learn F Akiha.

Gonna head down this Friday for another Melty Round Robin and recording.

Same thing. I'll arrive @ 8p'ish and start around 9p.

Round Robin Rules.
- No entry fee
- Played on the Melty Cab.
- Character lock preferred, but not required.
- Moon switching OK.
- 1 Match
- Everyone plays everyone
- Each game is 50 cents. No Exceptions.
* Both players offer 1 quarter for the cab, OR
* 1 player pays the 50 cents if they're feeling generous, OR
* Others can donate. Either way, the cab requires 50 cents.
* If you pick the wrong character/moon & need to change... another 50 cents in the cab.

This will be streamed on my Twitch account & the bracket will be posted on Challonge. If you guys have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask.

I'll see you guys then.

It'd be cool to see a Red Team White Team kinda thing happen. Anything like that goin on potentially?

Martee Blood · « **Reply #58 on:** February 05, 2013, 12:16:59 PM »

We need more players first.
Or rather, we need an even number of players. Last meetup was 7 people afterall.

Jerktown · « **Reply #59 on:** February 07, 2013, 05:09:38 PM »

As funny as I think it'd be to make my introduction by giving everyone the flu, I won't be there tomorrow due to being such.

As for characters, I'm trying to decide on the best flavor of Akiha for me. What's the real difference between Seifuku and Original Vanilla?

mrthefter · « **Reply #60 on:** February 07, 2013, 08:31:22 PM »

I've got a meeting for a project this Friday (followed by dinner, poker, and drinks) so I'm out. Next week.

Also, Seifuku and Vanilla differences depends on the moon. Iirc, they have similar tools, just with different inputs. Vanilla might have better vitality; not sure on that one.

Shinigami-hime · « **Reply #61 on:** February 07, 2013, 08:49:22 PM »

I can try and make to next week

Crescent Akiha vs Cresent Seifuku

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06LGjS_WRTg&feature=youtu.be&t=24m2s
Full Akiha vs Full Seifuku

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so02I686uOk&feature=youtu.be&t=6m40s
Full Akiha vs Half Seifuku

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za27a5wTKHY&feature=youtu.be&t=1s
Half Akiha vs Len

Aside from obvious moon differences, they have different styles of play. In regards to normals, Crescent Akiha is attacking with life-force plundering claws, while seifuku just fights with her hands and feet. It also looks like Crescent Akiha has better neutral game and traps. And I do believe that Seifuku is better at rushdown.

If you don't know the effects of moon styles in detail, there's a guide on it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRdBIpOyaXk

I don't feel like typing anymore.
If you wanna see more of any of them, you can look for matches with them on www.meltydb.com

I'll be going today. I've already gotten the flu and shit.

Good shit last night guys.
Really hoping everyone shows up this coming friday. How many players can we get on stream this time? Like 10? 11?
And then there's those dudes that came in when the Round Robin ended. We need to get bigger!
I'm gonna try using F-Akiha this coming week, but if I'm not comfortable, I guess I'll stick to Arcueid once again.

KFL · « **Reply #66 on:** February 10, 2013, 10:02:41 AM »

I'll be bringing two new players next week so we should have a decent # of ppl this time.

Also, I'll be at Japan Arcade on Wednesday night if anyone wants to get some games in b4 Friday.

Pete · « **Reply #67 on:** February 10, 2013, 10:23:01 AM »

Really liked the last broadcast even with the video lag going on sometimes.
keep up the good stuff, cant wait for next week.

Numakie · « **Reply #68 on:** February 10, 2013, 11:57:32 PM »

Finally edited. http://youtu.be/YKr5qPmyvHA

I'ma see about making it less laggy next time.

KFL · « **Reply #69 on:** February 11, 2013, 10:33:53 AM »

Hey Numa, don't know if you know this but you can get your parking ticket validated for longer than two hours. They have these "one more hour" stickers that they can add to your ticket along with the two hour validation stamp. Just let Max or whoever's working the counter know that you've been here for longer than two hours and they'll give you as many stickers as you need.

Also, thanks for running the stream. It's really helping me figure out what I need to work on and what I need to stop doing.

Numakie · « **Reply #70 on:** February 11, 2013, 10:57:42 AM »

I did talk to Max about those stickers, thankfully. What surprises me about those stickers is that Japan Arcade pays for em for us, which is pretty damn neat of them. It at least gives me some incentive to drive down there rather than take the tram. I still don't like driving in LA though, so I'll prolly switch back and forth from Light Rail and Car.

Also np bout recording. I do it cuz i want to, and so you guys can see what ya'll are doing.

Martee Blood · « **Reply #71 on:** February 11, 2013, 12:01:41 PM »

I couldn't see what I was doing cause my matches froze ;_;

Numakie · « **Reply #72 on:** February 12, 2013, 12:57:18 PM »

Just gonna say it.
Gonna run another Round Robin and record this Friday again. Prepare yourself!

Same thing too. Gonna start setting up at @ 8p. Will start @ 9p.

Del3030: Can ya bring the wifi device when i start to set up? I want to make sure it works before I start the event.

KFL · « **Reply #73 on:** February 13, 2013, 04:10:39 PM »

I'll be at Japan Arcade around 7 or 8 today if anyone wants to get some games in.

Martee Blood · « **Reply #74 on:** February 13, 2013, 09:21:07 PM »

I don't think I'll meet my five dollar quota this week.
You get a new headset numa? Cause mine's good as new now.
