When's Melty on Steam?
ahaha that's no--wait, what?
-
12/30/2011 - Welcome to Arizona's Phoenix Valley thread, a new thread to mark a new release of Melty. All new players welcome, we'll train you from the ground up. We're no slouches.
Current players / characters:
Dipstick : C-Nanaya, H-Sion
Tempered : C-Sion
H-F Blade : C-Ciel, F-Aoko, H-Ries
Choco : F-Hisui, H-VSion, C-Satsuki
Ryd : F-Akiha, C-Akiha, F-Satsuki
Akujiki : H-Roa??
(send me a PM if you want to change something on this list, like adding/removing characters, players, etc.)
Hosting events will be at my place (Central Phoenix, ZIP 85009), or at Dipstick's house (Western Mesa, ZIP 85210). We will either actively post about them in this thread, OR

=(
-
I dunno who I play anymore. I'll probably still train up on the H-Roas, check out C-Roa, and see if anyone else in the cast catches my interest.
Pity I'm all the way over here so netplaying you guys isn't a real possibility.
Just have to wait til March then.
-
lol me playing H-Sion
lol me playing C-Nanaya
I'm going to main E-Tamaki
Come by tomorrow, we're going to be playing Melty Duty: Anime Warfare or some shit. Not like anyone here is doing anything interesting for New Year's anyway!
-
I also play cPciel now.
-
I play....whoever the f*** I please. :psyduck:
Well all of that aside, for a thread title, I was thinking of "Mistakes Were Made" but that can always come at a later time.
As for the AAA in the first post, I don't suppose they could provide me roadside assistance if my car stalls or anything like that? :-\
-
Why am I so bad at figuring out combos and shit for characters?
That said, H-PCiel is kind of ridiculous with just the combos posted in the thread.
-
So, first weekend of the new year us almost upon us. let's coordinate a time and meeting place according to our personal availability. thankfully, i always have weekends free, so i can host Friday or Saturday nights. let us all know when you're free (you are always free in Melty, so not that kind of free).
-
My plan for now was to be hosting on Saturday nights at my place until it made more sense to run sessions on another day -- and I currently plan on hosting this Saturday. I have Sunday and Monday off, currently.
In other news, a bunch of equipment came in so I should be in better shape in regards to streaming (although the replacement motherboard still has not come in yet).
Ryd: If you are coming by this Saturday, could you do me a favor and come by early? There was some furniture I wanted to grab from Ikea but I don't think it would fit well (or at all) in my car (Tempered thinks it would, but he's stupid). I'll buy you swedish meatballs or some yanderes or something.
-
I'll see what I can do about showing up early. Around what time?
-
If you're hosting on Saturday and my half day request is denied, then I'm going to be there very late. Or I could stop by Monday to get my Melty fix.
Ryd: Do you have an email address I can contact you on? If so, PM me. I have the direct phone number for Stream's hiring manager and they're still looking for applicants for the training class on the 30th of this month. I emailed him already but you may want to call his direct line often and leave messages.
-
H-F: PM'd it.
-
Remember, Stream gives you paid training! If you quit during your training weeks, then they will only pay you minimum wage. But if you work one single day on the phones and then quit? Yep, you get full pay, thankyouverymuch.
-
HF if they're still looking for people inquire about my return.
also give me some feed back on my vid yall :nyoro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3503jEOCV_c
fyi wmm dagawd.
-
I'll see what I can do about showing up early. Around what time?
I'll get home from work around 3:30, so whenever after that, really.
-
Getting off work at 8 tonight. Not sure if I'll be stopping by but we'll see.
-
I'm cooking. I'll then be eating. I'll then be thinking about leaving.
-
Will probably stop by for a few hours. I'd like to get 10 matches with everyone with replays saved in case anything retarded happens so I can start my mini-series.
-
Oh fuck, mobility! Oh fuck, where'd my health go???
-
Ryd and I played many games last night, probably around fifty. H-F was a no call no show and will be terminated. :prinny: :prinny: :prinny:
I proposed this idea to Dippy through a text, but I wanted to run it by others as well: If we were to try and stream and hype up the Melty community, locally and nationally, I want to create a head-to-head cab. One with dual 1080p monitors, mounted sticks (no need to swap out joysticks), and a webcam on both sides. Dual independent player view + game view + switch cameras to commentators and their webcam. These head-to-head setups would need to be easily broken down for travel, which isn't that daunting of a task.
My only problem? I don't own a wood shop. I might need to talk to Frank Castle about this.
-
Sorry about not showing up last night. I was stuck in the office a lot later than I wanted to be. :( I should have at least texted you to let you know and that was my bad.
-
There's always next time. We did mention you about half a dozen times. I imagined you could be working late, so don't worry about it!
-
head to head cabinet sounds pretty hype, but the funding doesnt.
-
That sounds amazing if you did that
-
Guess who's posting.....
Also, guess who I'm playing. =D
-
:3 Sup Ted. Want the schedule a weekend for Tucson to come up and get some games? Or Tucson could host and we could travel, but you'd better be a challenge! :V
-
I'm probably NOT going to be a challenge, but I should be able to come up sometimes. ^_^
Also, I'm debating on H-Sion, C-Hime, H-S.Akiha and F-Len
-
Ted, long time no see. Hopefully you'll be able to join us or if Tucson doesn't mind hosting us I'd be down at some point. Among that list of yours I'd recommend F-Len.
I got half days tomorrow and Saturday thankfully. If the Mesa guys don't mind me stopping by tomorrow for a little bit I can do that, otherwise I'll just see you guys on Saturday since I'll be getting out earlier.
-
Well, I have my drivers permit now, so I'm actually going to be learning how to drive because I have money for glasses, so I should be able to come up to Phoenix more often.
As for hosting down here, I host for the Tucson group (really, it's just the three of us) every weekend, pretty much. If you guys ever want to come down, let me know.
And although I like F-Len, she's feeling super flat to me right now. Her 236 series seems awful and 623 only seems good in combos. The only thing I like about her is her damage and her flash with 214 and ground bounce combos. But I'll give it some more thought and I'll mess around with some characters for a little while before I decide.
-
I got half days tomorrow and Saturday thankfully. If the Mesa guys don't mind me stopping by tomorrow for a little bit I can do that, otherwise I'll just see you guys on Saturday since I'll be getting out earlier.
You can come by on Friday; beats whatever the hell I would be doing otherwise.
And although I like F-Len, she's feeling super flat to me right now.
OF COURSE SHE DOES! Isn't that how you like it?
-
I wouldn't mind Friday, but I don't get out early Friday. :V I do tomorrow.
-
let me know when you plan to come over. I gotta do some over time tomorrow so ill let you come pick me up afterwards :V
-
I'll be getting out at 3 or as close to it as possible. Could you text me the address?
-
yeah I will tommorow. its easy though literally the north east corner of priest and southern.
-
I wouldn't mind Friday, but I don't get out early Friday. :V I do tomorrow.
That's me paying attention, derp. Looks like you and Tempered have it squared away, anyway.
-
So meeting at Choco's today? I'll most likely be bringing my brothers today.
-
I probably won't be there. :( Not that I'll be missed. :psyduck:
-
shouldve contacted me earlier :nyoro:
-
So we all know who H-F is playing in that game now.
:bricks:
If I'm still alive, I'll be hosting tomorrow as usual. Bring the lame!
-
im confused.
anyways ill be a little later than usual. getting out of work an hour later than usual.
-
So we all know who H-F is playing in that game now.
:bricks:
And just what game are you referring to? Fill me with your genius. :slowpoke:
im confused.
You and I both.
-
I'm at my rock climbing gym right bow, probably stopping by Dippy's place a bit later tonight. Thrift shops await me in the meantime as I stumble around with my soreness.
Should we be looking towards NeoMaxico for potential exposure? Might get more players that way. Gonna bring it up again tonight.
-
Will be over after I finish up with some writing.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34qmNnGqny4 for carlos.
-
Stopped after 1.5 matches because that Sakura player doesn't know how to play Sakura.
-
OK, so last night went kind of shitty. I don't know if it's because of personal issues, what happened with dinner, or because I was playing as/against F-Ryougi so much.
Here's my thought about what happened with everyone's dinner plans. I felt that both H-F and Choco were pressed for time, and I would have rather used the time remaining to play more games, not sit down and eat for an extended period of time. I also knew that if I went to YCs, it would have taken forever AND I would have had such bad itis that I wouldn't have been able to play anything else that night (at any decent level). So going to YCs basically ends the night for everyone other then Tempered and Ryd, which is why I didn't like the idea of going there.
If you would rather play with the Neomaxico guys, go do it. I just don't really know anything about them because I have roughly zero interest in playing XIII -- my execution in that game would just lead to me getting exposed at levels rarely seen.
-
I recommend you delete/edit the post above at your earliest convenience.

I recommend you delete/edit the post above at your earliest convenience.
I could edit it, but I don't think you would like the end result.
We should take this spat into private, regardless.
-
Alright guys, I'm checking this as my break's about to end. But let's try to get this resolved as quickly and peacefully as possible. The last thing we need is some kind of division amongst ourselves. I might come back and edit this and give my 2 cents during my lunch break when I have more time.
EDIT:
Ok, so I think there's just some miscommunications all-around. The whole "where to go for dinner?" is an obvious one. YC's tends to take up a good portion of the night and on Saturday night I am more pressed for time due to my shitty schedule. Sure I stayed later than I should have, but I was still satisfied that I got to play as many matches as I did and not spending most of the night at YC's. But I do need to get better at leaving when I say I need to leave.
As for being asked to play matches at Choco's instead, I don't believe it happened last night. After we all left for dinner, I didn't see him from that point onward. As for where we meet up, I thought the plan was to alternate locations? Or at least, that's the impression I get. I'm down to go wherever provided I have the time to do so.
OK, so last night went kind of shitty. I don't know if it's because of personal issues, what happened with dinner, or because I was playing as/against F-Ryougi so much.
Oh I can't blame you about the Fryougurt part. Even I was getting infuriated just playing her. Just look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uk90VbzGE0
-
Think you might enjoy this carlos. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16791333
-
Already saw it; the most fun things she has outside the opening block string are too impractical for my tastes (and that's saying something).
-

We have to main this game now guys.
-
*clicks link*
*closes tab*
*starts playing Ougon*
:V
-
HF, as a fellow Megaman fan, I am disappoint.
-

You do have to respect that troll, though.
*starts playing Ougon*
SFxT might very well be the worst fighting game to come out in 2012 -- and keep in mind that that which shall not be named comes out in the US this year!
-
Oh come on, it was an initial impression. I laughed my ass off when I first saw it. :|
Also, what do people think of bell and phae visiting next weekend? I think it would be productive for all of us, but on such short notice it does make things a bit difficult.
And I'm still in the dark about this other game. The less I know, the better I suppose. Though knowing SFxT, what could possibly be worse? :psyduck:
-
You do have to respect that troll, though.
If only I could believe he'd actually go and play Ougon...
And I'm still in the dark about this other game. The less I know, the better I suppose. Though knowing SFxT, what could possibly be worse? :psyduck:
Pretty Fighter Rainbow Edition. MK VS KI. Mace VS BioFreaks VS WarGods. BlazBlue 3. You really can't imagine worse?
-
Hey, I don't have the widest imagination when it comes to bad games. :|
-
Pretty Fighter Rainbow Edition. MK VS KI. Mace VS BioFreaks VS WarGods. BlazBlue 3. You really can't imagine worse?
Pretty Fighter Rainbow Edition day 1 buy.
Also no mention of another Clayfighter in your list of horrifying games? Come on now.
-
You're right, I should've mentioned a new Primal Rage, too. And Ergheiz. And...shit, I don't know. Fighter's Destiny? JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE 2!
-
Master's Fighter 2, with more Kangfinite.
-
I hear season eight of NCIS comes with a free copy of Tao Feng 2 on HD DVD
-
I am having the hardest time picking up C-Roa's orb combos. Why am I so bad at fighting games. :slowpoke:
-
No worries. It takes a lot of time.
Also, people play Ougon? xD Wha?
Are you guys going to be hosting next weekend? I can see about coming up and bringing the other melty player(s) with. I could use help picking up some oki and pressure strings.
-
There's usually hosting every weekend and next weekend shouldn't be any different. Next weekend is when bell is supposedly visiting but it is rather short notice so I'm not sure if/how that will pan out. I can try getting next Sat. off if I'm lucky or at least get out early.
-
Yeah, that's probably why I could be able to make it up on Saturday. Been playing C-S.Akiha. She's omg fapfapfapfap delicious. 5k bnb that builds enough meter for 22C oki. ^_^ 3.3k off command throw. All of her combos are corner to corner etc.... and stylish as hell. Gotta learn some good block strings and mixups as well as oki mixups. But as of now, she feels like how I wanted Seifuku to be when she first released; rushdown with oki. ^_^
Guys, I like intrinsically broken characters, I've realized. I want everything in one.
-
I will be hosting for hosting for a night or two next weekend. I'm getting sick ATM, nose running like a river. Probably not coming over this weekend due to spreading the plague. Ted, I won't be able to house Tucson folks since bellreisa and SK will be staying over next weekend, but you're welcome to come by and play. I'll make a facebook event for that when I'm done working today
-
Everyone else still on for today, or is it going to be one of those quiet weeks?
-
Oh, I wouldn't expect you to house us. It would just be a come up for the day, leave late that night sort of thing. We only live 2 hours away. ^_^
-
I am officially hosting Melty for Friday night through to Saturday night / Sunday morning. I'm not kicking people out early or anything. bell's trip seems pretty dependent on him being able to play lots of games / session / practice IRL for Final Round. I need some confirmation from everyone on if they can make it, and if they CAN, when can they make it? Please respond ASAP.
-
I won't be available on Friday because I normally work that day. I requested Saturday off, so if it gets granted, I'll be available all day Saturday. If not, well, I'm getting out at 8 pm then. :|
-
So for Friday night, you won't be by at all, even after work? Ted and Tucson will be coming by, so you'll be missing them.
-
Is that the only time they'll be available? Oh man. Well on Friday I get out at 8 as well, and getting out at 8 really sucks. I'll do the best I can but I can't make any guarantees. I'm just hoping my Saturday plans work out.
-
I'll pop in Friday and Saturday after work. Saturday I'll probably be waiting for Tempered to come home on Saturday so he has a ride to/from Choco's.
-
I will be there literally all day Saturday. Like, from noon until late that night. Also, Final Round? Is anyone else going? I'm going to try and get some cash for that.

H-F, Tempered, Choco, Jaxx and myself already have plane tickets and a room booked. Choco and Jaxx are doing their own thing (with some other people IIRC), and right now my room is just H-F, Tempered and myself -- so if you're going, there's room.
-
if I want I can get saturday off. but I have to work extra time for the so sigh. well see how I feel come thursday.

Any room for a Numakie? ;D
-
My time off for Saturday got approved. See you guys then, and maybe Friday night.
-
Numakie! I've missed you! ^_^ And I won't need a place to stay. I have a friend in Atlanta that said I could crash with him.
-
You guys streaming tomorrow by any chance? Want something to watch.
-
Ugh... the drive over here absolutely sucks.... least I can sleep comfortably right now...
Mmmmm...
-
See you guys later today.
-
In exchange for stream, I offer real life roll-cancelling (http://imageftw.com/uploads/20120204/1328016914316.gif) for making whiffs safe.
-
Hey there team Arizona, I'm Daryl "DJcream" Bunao. I was speaking with Tone last night about finding a place to stay for Final Round and he said that you guys may have some room. Think you guys can squeeze in a relatively unknown player like myself with all y'all?
-

You're not that unknown (I remember meeting you at Evo 2010, and you didn't punch me when I kept calling you djWheat), even though people traveling from NorCal is very rare. When are you getting into Atlanta?
-
LOL, I remembered that, but ya I'll be arriving into Atlanta thursday night.
-
I was going to go to Final Round, but then random shit happened, ended up losing about $700 in the upcoming months, so that's not going to happen. :( But I'll just go to EVO or any other events that I can, granted I don't have school.
-
Nero corner pressure is fun.
-
For anyone wondering: I am hosting tomorrow, but I'm going to the UAT tournament for Soul Calibur 5. So nobody should show up before Tempered gets home. I don't think it matters much (Tempered should be home by 5-5:30) and it would only really affects H-F Blade if he gets a half-day from work. The solution to that would just be for him to pick up Tempered from work on the way here, so I don't think it'll be an issue.
-
Sadly I forgot to request a half day off for tomorrow so I probably won't be there since my parents are visiting. :|
-
I'll probably be there around 7 or so.
Probably closer to 8.
-
I was learning F-Len, but I decided to drop that shit and learn C-Roa; he does everything F-Len does, only better.
-
Csei and now Croa. what a teir whore.
-
bandwagoner
-
Looking at SC videos, I kind of want to just go with BB :psyduck: Saying I probably wouldn't like what they did to Ivy is like saying I probably wouldn't like to be beaten in the face with a baseball bat; it's true, but it's not nearly adequate enough to describe the situation. I'll probably hold off on final judgment until I see more of Viola, but shit, it's like I don't even know the series anymore.
-
The month's almost over and everyone seems to be picking up a new game...except me. :V
-
I would suggest Viola, but I hear she isn't all that great. I was going to play that game and pick her up but /effort.
And my main reason for C-Roa? You guys know that above all else in fighting games I like making people not move in the corner once I've established any sort of semblance of oki. Remember when I learned F-Maids? Yeah. It's like that. Only C-Roa doesn't have a bad matchup against people who zone.
Kusanagi literally made me cry from my inability to get in when he was zoning, or get out when I was being pressured. :( I had never been more frustrated with a matchup in any game before in my life. Not even Sakura v. Bazett made me feel that helpless. It was bad.
-
Hi guys! Im hAZ.Angelic from team hazmat. I wanted to jump in here to talk about a few things. First, im actually a big melty fan and actually use to play back in the AC days (note the join date Haha). I heard of a community but saved off on introducing myself for other reasons so please excuse me.
Second, I wanted to address the people who went to the hazbats last Saturday . Assuming that your intentions were to try to recruit I feel that I must point out that the way you guys acted wasn't always appropriate. I talked to a few people and apparently there was a few backhanded comments towards the other games and players that really put some people off. I know I personally heard a few. I actually really wanted to play but it was just not very welcoming. Regardless of intention I just felt like I should let you guys know, that and ask around a bit where I could get the latest melty. I mainly play Nero but really like Sacchin! please direct me and hope to meet you all and have some fun In the future!
Thanks again.
-
....eh? Did anyone from this group go there last week?
-
To my knowledge, nobody from this group was at the Hazbat last Saturday. I certainly know that Tempered, H-F and myself were not (since they were all at my place).
Honestly, I don't think throwing :blah: about other games to the people playing them is productive -- and at the end of the day, does it really matter? I think the one thing I honestly find frustrating is that when someone won't even give another game a shot -- and again, why would they, if they already have enough fun playing AE 2012 or UMvC3, try something else?
-
Yeah none of the guys from our group were there last Saturday so I'm not sure what went down. Whoever was there last Saturday claiming to represent MB sounds like they did a very poor job of it. We would have conducted ourselves much better than those other guys did.
-

And then Mahvel got real.
-
Must of been some other guys then. Like I said, no worries! Anybody wanna help me out with m y other questions? Haha ; )
-

You can't get this game... anywhere, really. Anywhere that can be discussed on this forum, anyway. The LE run of Carnival Phantasm 3 that comes with the game has long been sold out.
Actually, I want to know more about these other players. Are they from an alternate universe of some sort? Are they less crazy? More crazy? Are we going to have to destroy them and their entire existence in order to survive?
-
Yeah unless theres another MB group around I dunno what went down either. Hell I'm trying to get into KOF myself and a little SCV on the side.
And yeah. A legit copy of the game is going to be hard to come by. Other than that as he mentioned it cant be discussed here.
Anyways I pretty much have next week off if people want some last minute sessions before FR. though monday I have an interview with another job place so ill probably leave that closed.
-
Ryd, you should really be rocking that Morrigan alt. outfit with the hot pants... and man, she looks legit now.
-
Lots of writing to do today; it's probably best to assume I won't make it and act like Christmas came early if I do.
-
stop having a life.
-
I should be free sometime this week if anyone wanted to meet up before you head off to FR. Of course, I haven't touched MB since last weekend due to class work and actually finding something I like in Mahvel.
-
Got the game and been practicing c-satsuki and some c-nero. This weekend is the last ranbats for AE and Umc3 so I gotta focus on that but after I really would like to playsome of you.
-
Keep the 24th open.
-
What's happening then? :V
I may not be available this weekend since I didn't have a chance to request any half days.
-
I don't think Akujiki got the memo about e-sports killing his loved one.
-
What's happening then? :V
My triumphant return (for one saturday when I'm not busy with a wedding). I may be able to make a couple of weekday afternoons/evenings if I don't have other things going on, but assuming I don't get destroyed by jet lag, I'll be there on Saturday guaranteed.
Also my loved one can never die.
-
Cant wait.
So anything going on tomorrow. Seeing as HF and Dippy aren't that interested in MB at the moment kind of hard figuring out what people would play. Guess we could go back to random fighter of the week (MIRA) or something else.
-
I'm okay with nothing happening if that's how things go; Devil Survivor, Etrian Odyssey, and MajiKoi are more than enough to keep me company. Plus I've been passing out late afternoon/early evening lately, so I may not even be conscious anyway.
-
Probably won't be available tonight. Planning to do a little OT Monday hopefully so I can stop by then because I still owe dippy for the FR room and tempered's buying my stick. Going to need the $$$ for this month. :psyduck:
-

So you're saying you would rather be sadlife alone than sadlife with the rest of us?
Fine. :(
-
I'm always sadlife alone. :(
-
Akujiki, when are you coming by tomorrow?
Who else is coming through?
-
"Tomorrow"?
-
Arizona Phoenix Valley: SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUN
-
Hide your lolis, hide your waifus, people want to play MB again?!?
Well, for a night, anyway. After some pop-offs on Twitter, I kind of want to play this game again. Not uber serious, but I want to actually see people play it. H-F said he'll come by; I'm wondering if anyone else is even remotely interested
-
I should be able to put in an appearance.
-
I wouldn't mind considering I just don't have the energy to try all the new fgs that are out right now.
-
This is the VN I was talking about, Tempered. I'm willing to bet you haven't touched this one.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/shoot_the_works/KnS.png)
This girl will forever be known for her smile.
-
I know that was posted for Tempered, but that got my attention. :V
-
I figured it would. You should give it a go. Murder mystery/psychological suspense set in post-WWII Japan. It's also not 100% moe-bullshit like almost everything else is lately. I thought it was pretty well done, all things considered. No real gripes about the time I've put into it except slight annoyance at how missing the tiniest thing will fuck you over hours later, with no indication of what you missed, but I also respect it for that.
-
Balls
-
Seems you like playing with balls eh? :V +5G
-
Anybody coming by tomorrow? I predict it'll be another day where I want to play MB but end up playing something else, fun.
-
I'll probably show up.
-
Won't be able to make it tomorrow but I can see you Sunday.
-
So should we put this off till Sunday?
-
We don't have to. I just happen to drop by on either weekend day if I'm lucky enough to get a half day. Meaning I wasn't so lucky today. :| But whatever works best for everyone.
-
well I gots work sunday since im out of training now. my days off will be tues and weds. ill probably be going for half days on saturday or sundays so w/e.

Don't look at me. I'm not the one who's excited for the game. :V
Tempered what are your hours? Hopefully they're not too shitty. Mine definitely were. :-\
I'll stop by today since I have a half day and we'll go from there I suppose.

Viola does no damage :V Granted, almost all of this is impractical and will never be done in a match except for maybe the long-ass combos. Both still not going to be done every day. Fun shit though.
Balls.
Yeah get two nameless players, one of them being chizuru and the other a grappler
lol
I was more talking about almost an entire hour of Chizuru mirrors, with like...two exceptions; that first match, and one other somewhere around halfway through. Not completely sure though, as I only skimmed the video after seeing lots of Chizuru and Chizuru and Chizuru. The...2 or so other vids I saw only had terrible Chizurus that couldn't convert anything into damage, but I also haven't seen any other character on the same level in poke->damage as the Chizuru in the linked video.
-
Oh, yeah. Chizuru is the worst thing to have happened to that game, she's easy, really good.... easy, super S tier, and ugly. And everyone mashes her. Pros can destroy her though so she isn't really getting past the scrub level, so it's all good.

Man, Viola has real damage now. We should play next weekend since we haven't yet. I'm going to be out of town most of the week, so once again I probably won't be available until Sunday. I'm trying to play Alpha Pat, but as swag and fun as his combos are, they hurt my wrists after a while. I might settle for normal Pat and/or Leixia. :|
-
Current record for damage: 213
I know I can go higher, but shit keeps happening. Either I fuck up the timing on a rep in the juggle and the opponent floats out or hits the dirt, I fuck up the timing in buffering a BE relaunch and get a normal instead, or the system fucks up and gives me a BE that does not actually exist :psyduck: Naturally, I am loving the shit out of this character. :nyoro:
I think this is the most training mode I've done since...GG and F/UC.
Edit: I think I hit the max at 245.
6AB B+K BE (6A+B 2B+K BE 5AAB)x3 66B 66A+BB
It looked like it was enough to kill Cervantes from full health. There's some potential damage flux though; the combo's all quirky with random extra hits everywhere, like timing the first 6A+B to hit right as they hit the dirt from B+K BE, and every 6A+B afterward has the potential to hit twice depending on timing/spacing. I also carried to the wall at the very end with 66A+BB. So, overall damage could be a little higher or lower, depending; I wasn't keeping track of every little extra bit of damage.
The one caveat is that the 6A at the start has to be CH for the B follow up to legitly combo. And it hits high... Then again, it could just start with 6B+K~3K, no CH necessary, hits mid, and should achieve similar results; but then that requires the orb set, while the other works both ways. Also there's the full meter requirement, but given that a string with a B+K BE somewhere in the starter does around 130 with 1 meter, 180~190 with 1.5, and apparently death for full, I don't see a problem with cutting it short when needed. Granted, my overall damage has gone up after fixing my BnB (from 80ish with 50% meter to 90 meterless and 110~120ish with 50% meter...), so retarded-level damage shouldn't even be necessary except for clutching out a win.
I smell a nerf coming, they overbuffed the fuck out of her damage.
-
Ugh, just frames. <.<
-
C'mon H-F, it's just a little execution :V
I think I'm going to start learning Tira on the side. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I recently saw her B+K GI/auto-throw.
-
Riiiiiight. Just like Akira in VF requires a little execution. Because it honestly feels like that's who I'm playing right now. I wish I could just BC Super to victory all day every day. :gonk: But I'm more saddened by the fact I can't have my CAS character with me at all times. :psyduck: I really do think I could get more mileage with the same effort from the two characters I mentioned earlier, but I'll try to use her more when I get the chance. The training mode dummy is just too easy of an opponent.
-
You jerks really gonna make me pick up Berette .50ul Calibur V?
-
I know. It sounds like this discussion should be on 8wayrun. :psyduck:
Well in other news, fevo2K is going to have a MBAACC side tourney. Too bad I probably won't be attending because Evo is just too damn early this year.
I'm also trying really hard not to jump onto the P4A hype bandwaggon. It just looks like it has the same issues I had with BB. No surprise since it's from the same producer, so clearly he knows best. Plus, when you have the tutorial telling you to "mash buttons," you can tell who they were targeting. Namely people who've never played FGs before and they need a way to make them feel good about themselves when the combo count goes up with the push of a single button. I'll still try it, but I'm just not losing sleep over it like many others out there.
Posting this as I should be preparing for a wedding. No, it's NOT for me and my waifu(s) or whatever else you might think. :gonk:
-
P4U could be complete ass and be F/UC 2.0 and I'd still be hype for it. Actually, that'd probably make me even more hype. Anyway, that's a game I'm primarily looking forward to out of "character love" 'n shit. As long as it's not Capcom SF4-style (and we know it isn't), I'll be playing it even if it is mediocre. Besides, it's not like there are a lot of people making an effort to play the best 2D fighter out there.
Even if I go to Evo, I probably won't be entering a MB tourney. Haven't touched that since pre-FR, which means I still don't have a character I'm really happy with.
Edit: Dippy, is there any confirmation of that possible tourney tomorrow that you were talking about last week?
-
"character love." It sadly has no meaning for me. I only play fighting games. :|
As for that tourney tomorrow, I remember hearing about that last week too. I think it's usually earlier in the day though. Sadly I can't make it to that since I'm arriving back in Phoenix pretty late due to a recent delay. And even if I were there, I'd have work. Soooooo, if anyone wants to meet Sunday, I'll be around. The scheduling system says I have that day off even though I requested a half day. I'll have to check with my team lead.
-
Edit: Dippy, is there any confirmation of that possible tourney tomorrow that you were talking about last week?
It's on the 19th, not today. I think I may have taken one too many hits to the head.
-
So, today or tomorrow?
-
You jerks really gonna make me pick up Berette .50ul Calibur V?
It could be worse; wait until June rolls around and I make you clowns learn VF5:FS. :V

Plus, when you have the tutorial telling you to "mash buttons," you can tell who they were targeting.
Wait until the ArcSys BB team/French Bread collaboration: now a fighting game with no oki AND no cross-ups!
I think P4A is going to be a compromise between the good games no one plays and the "Modern Play That Shit" games like SF4 and UMvC3. All of the /a/ pot monsters will be a side bonus; just learn to ignore them.
So, today or tomorrow?
Sunday would make more sense, as H-F would be able to come by then. Maybe I can even get some other SC5 players to come by. Or maybe we can actually play MB and get ready for F-Evo. :p
-
I'll play both. :|
I just got confirmation that due to a schedule error, I have tomorrow off instead of a half day. I'll probably take care of my normal weekend stuff in the morning and head over maybe in the early afternoon. So I'm set.
I'm too old to learn VF even at an intermediate level. :\
-
If I don't procrastinate and get my writing out of the way today, then I'll probably try to be there earlier tomorrow, too.
I'm still not really feeling MB. I guess I could just play Sacchin, but I feel bad denying the closet-rapist in me a setup/control character.
I won't mind learning VF if you provide me with a copy :V
-
I won't mind learning VF if you provide me with a copy :V
Actually, this. I take back what I said earlier.
-
VF5:FS is going to be $15-20 on XBLA/PSN when it comes out... are you that broke? :gonk:
Unless you want to try the original version of VF5... the funny thing is, the PS3 and X360 are different versions of the game. You could probably find them absurdly cheap at Gamestop or somesuch.
I'm still not really feeling MB. I guess I could just play Sacchin, but I feel bad denying the closet-rapist in me a setup/control character.
What happened to C-Aoko?
-
cAoko is not AA fAkiha. well im hoping I can get off early today since its rather slow. well see. Ill be up for some MB and other random shit weather is be HF finally finishing fatal frame or me starting silent hill.
-
Games sometime this weekend? Saturday? Sunday? Funday? Maybe even with some MB? :gonk:
-
If I get released early tomorrow (it's possible), then we can meet up tomorrow. I'll provide a status update halfway through my day. Otherwise I'll see you guys after 7 on Sunday.
-
I should be good for tomorrow. Sunday is probably a no-go. Why so desperate for MB?
-
I should be good for tomorrow. Sunday is probably a no-go. Why so desperate for MB?
I dunno... it's an itch that I can't quite scratch. Or maybe that's herpes. It's not like I have a problem with people playing SC5 all night....
-
It still reminds me of the idea I had earlier of doing an MB gauntlet where we play every major iteration of MB up until the latest release just for fun. The issue is having all the previous iterations available. :|
As for the tourney on the 19th, unfortunately I won't be able to attend since I'll be out of town.
-
I'm on my lunch break right now. So, work's not that busy today, we have very few people waiting to be served at any given time, and they haven't let anyone out early. I dunno wtf why but I guess because we're understaffed in spite of those numbers. I'll see about attending after I get out today (around 7) and hopefully I don't get stuck with a senior citizen who needs an explanation on what USB is and where to find it on their pc.
-
GGs in SC5 last night. I feel like I got a little better even though I hadn't played since the last time I got a session in. lol
I can meet up tomorrow again. I'll try to be there between 4-5. But thankfully that dumb training I have to do on Tuesday got moved to the afternoon.
-
well im up for some... thing. Anybody up for giving me a ride home? (no) just thought id ask since im lazy.
-
GGs again in SC5 last night. After that, things got a little eh interesting. :V
-
well i got sunday monday off this weekend. so yeah.
-
What sucks about Monday being a holiday is that I already have that day off to begin with so I'm not getting any extra days off. <.< Sadly I don't have Sunday off which sucks even more but I suppose if people wanna meet up that night, I have no issues with that.
Also, I kinda feel like playing Melty. :| Unfortunately I missed that SC5 tourney last weekend.
-
I'm okay with Sunday if it works for everyone else.
The only thing you missed with the SC tourney is that we all need to learn to fight Nightmare.
-
Yay! Melty's dead here! ^_^ Which is good because I really despise the new game.
Is SC5 worth getting into? I thought about playing it because Viola/Tira look amazingly fun, but I dunno. I've been playing Arcana Heart and Ougon a lot recently.
-
Ugh, Nightmare. I should have seen that one coming. Siegfried might be the best Nightmare counter. Just look at Keev vs OmegaDR. :|

Well we're playing SC5. For how much longer I can't say. Also, AH3? Good. Ougon? Why would you do that to yourself? :gonk: eeeuuuugh
-
Pyrrha should work really well against Nightmare since she's the punishing queen of the game, but Dippy's Pyrrha only has one speed, which hurt him a lot. I'm not comfortable enough yet with Omega to have played that matchup well, and it seems like you have to really know Nightmare to play that matchup with Viola, otherwise you spend all your time getting pushed out of range and die trying to get back in. I managed to beat him a few times in casuals, but it was entirely dependent on my being able to get in and ride his ass till he broke.
-
Yay! Melty's dead here! ^_^ Which is good because I really despise the new game.
Melty isnt dead. were just on a hiatus. I definitly wouldn't mind playing some more melty or arcana heart. maybe even some ougon since they've released characters I want to play. Ive gotten into SCV as well now playing leisa or however you spell her name. So i'm at least up for whatever is thrown around.
-
Ted, you probably wouldn't like Tira. Her bipolar personality is reflected in her playstyle, and I don't think you could cope very well with shifting between passive and aggressive playstyles based on a crapshoot that you have limited control over.
-
I used to play Tira in SC3. Is she similar? I moved to her from Ivy because lololol Ivy changes way too much between renditions.
For Arcana Heart 3 I've picked up Plant Lilica. Hot loops, yo. I've also worked with a lot of different Arcanas with Maori and Liese. Still unsure what I want for Liese, though. D= People keep yelling at me to use Halo or Fire.
-
Tira has two "stances": jolly and gloomy. In jolly, her moves generally aren't as fast/safe, but have a bit more emphasis on range, her damage is a lot lower, and she only has two moves that are self-damaging; she generally plays a lot more passively and keep-awayish here. In gloomy, her moves are generally faster/safer, her damage is a lot higher, and she has a larger variety of attacks that hurt herself; gloomy Tira likes to be aggressive as fuck. Transitioning between the two is a bitch, with two exceptions: she automatically shifts state at 40% health, and using her super while in jolly will force a switch to gloomy. Other than that, she has a bunch of moves that have varying degrees of success at switching states depending on if they whiff/hit/are blocked; what's especially aggravating is that it's generally much easier to randomly shift from gloomy to jolly than vice versa. What's even more aggravating is that the moves that can switch you from gloomy to jolly tend to be really good, while jolly only has one good move that might switch you to gloomy, but it has crap range.
-
Melty is far from dead. I'll still play it.
Uh yeah, SC3 and SC5 are two VERY different games. The movelists in SC5 are incredibly smaller by comparison among other things.
It's been well over a year and you STILL don't have a definitive arcana choice for Lies? Ummm... :psyduck:
I can imagine the Nightmare matchup is a nightmare (no pun intended) for Pat since his range is actually quite short. But I have yet to play the matchup so I can't really say. It feels like at times he just flat out sucks. Well I wouldn't say he sucks, he's just painfully average and all the other Alexander characters are just better than him. I could probably play any one of them and put in the same time and probably get much better mileage. At least, that's how I feel about it. I'd like to get matchup exp. against other characters rather than playing the same 2-3 people all the time but these tourneys are in the early afternoon on Saturday which makes it a real pain in the ass to attend.
I really wanna play Arcana again, but I kinda wanna play Melty, and I wanna keep playing SC5. Too much in so little time. Then VF5FS comes out sometime soon which I kinda wanna try but hell, that requires a lot of time invested. blargh
With any luck, I might get out early tomorrow since today wasn't very busy, yet they refused to let anyone out early. I'm hoping tomorrow is just as dead since most people would probably be out of town. But if not, I'll be there after 7.
-
CC still makes me mad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZYC0smxZyo0#t=727s), but I've gone over that enough. I probably should just play Nero. Has the same playstyle as my F-Akiha, and they both do around the same damage in CC without F-Akiha's unblockable bullshit (nerf technical play, leave that shit in; balance!), but Nero does it better in pretty much every way now. Or I could bandwagon Sacchin.
-
Playing MB last night reminded me of how much I miss playing it. :\
-
Yup exactly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a8mwuFY0X4o I dont know what to think about what im seeing.
-
GGs in SC5 last night. Sadly I didn't get any time in for MB but if people wanna play it again next weekend I will.
As for GGAC+R, this will probably be what gets me back into the game. It's been so long.
-
Yeah, saw that on Nico yesterday. Unless Testament's taking some hefty nerfs in other areas, he might be really retarded. Changes:
New/old-EX-Testament move: Warrant teleport w/out needing to catch an attack; two varieties, 22P, 22K. Not sure on the differences between the two, probably the position he teleports to. Should still have old Warrant as well.
Delayed EXE Beasts. Not sure if all are delayed now, or if it's optional. Still unknown if delay is set or negative edge, and if the FRC was preserved on them.
FB Phantom Soul. Homing bullshit at decent speed.
With the new Beasts, Testament might be able to get tighter corner lockdown for days than he could before. New Warrant means even more mixup opportunities; curious to see how well he can pick up off them, though Zeinest/Hitomi can always be used if he has too much delay. Bullshit potential is going through the roof here.
-
I still don't have an Arcana for Liese yet because I don't have anyone to play with to see what works. xD If you'd play with me sometime.... ^_^
As for Melty, I just dislike the way it's moved. I liked Melty before, but I feel like too many moons just aren't viable and it bothers me. I mean, I could stick with scumbag C-Sei but there are other characters I want to play too.
Like H-W.Len and H-Sei and stuff like that. Makes it hard when they get almost nothing compared to other moons. That and all the stupid crap that's in the game now. Like those V.Akiha loops or that W.Len loop. A lot of bnbs are just stupid now.
-
I don't think it's a problem of viability with moons in most cases so much as it is that others are just better thought out. Most character/moon combos are playable, they just end up really basic or another moon/character does it better, because fleshing out over 50 characters to make them feel reasonably unique doesn't work if you want to release a game sometime in the next century. Basic can work, but it's not very fun. Characters like F-S.Akiha are the embodiment of this.
-
So how is Saturday/Sunday looking for you guys?
I'm not even sure what to play at this point... for the next 4-5 days, anyway.
-
4-5 days? Why's that? Oh, I think I know why. :V
No half days for me this weekend since someone took all the hours. Sucks. I'm ok with Sunday night again so I'll be there after 7. I'll play MB since I didn't get any last weekend.
-
doesnt matter to me. all the same. i like sunday more though. seems easier for more people
-
God damn it H-F, I'm going to be cleaning up chunks of Sion out of the carpet for days. Thanks, jerk. :V
Ryd, is there a reason why your brother doesn't play MB at all?
So who is hype for PhantomChaosBreakerCurrentCode next week?
-
I don't think he likes playing it much. He's given it a shot before, messed around with C-Warc; didn't stick. I don't think he really wants to learn the combos + all the other shit. Not that I blame him at this point, MB scene being what it is. SC's the only series he's really put any amount of time into though; he started back in SC2, mostly trolling with Yoshimitsu. He'd probably still be playing him if Yoshi still had the uber-troll voice. I think he might pick up the P4 fightah, if only because he likes the series.
-
God damn it H-F, I'm going to be cleaning up chunks of Sion out of the carpet for days. Thanks, jerk. :V

My pleasure. Any time.
And wtf is that game? afaik there's nothing coming out next week. Thought you'd be too focused on VF5:FS to think of anything else right now anyway. :psyduck:
*scans above post*
....
Good.
-
You lucked out because the board doesn't allow smilies in sigs despite the rules saying bbcode and smilies are allowed, so the :prinny: that I set way back before this was even possible managed to slip through the cracks somehow. Between your rather fetching statement about your true nature and potentially losing the prinny forever, I'm sorry to say that I have to choose the prinny. A pity, too, because I was going to go all in on that shit.

Huh? I was referring to the actual content of your post. But whatever sinister plan was festering in your diseased mind, it sounds like you missed your only chance. >:D

Most of AZ is either too poor or busy to go out to a random event in SoCal like that.
As for AX, I'm the only person from this group going. So you get the worst player out of all of us -- sorry! Maybe I can bring you a gothiloli at AX to make up for it.
-
Well we did go to WT14 on a little short notice, so it's not completely out of the ordinary. But this feels like it's approaching fast so I'd say it's unlikely. Plus we're playing too many different games right now. :|

Hey guys. I'll be in town July 6th - July 8th. Have something going on so I can play you guys in Melty or Arcana. =D

Hey guys. I'll be in town July 6th - July 8th. Have something going on so I can play you guys in Melty or Arcana. =D
There's a tournament called Evolution going on during that time, you may have heard of it?
I know I'll be in Vegas at that time, and Ryd and Tempered may be going as well.
-
ahh ok all right then
-
MORE people from here possibly going to Evo? That's news to me.
-
Yeah, I assumed none of you were going. You know, since there's nothing of interest there. I mean, you could play in a Melty side tournament buuuuut.... =D
-
SC5 is of interest.
-
Carlos where u at? also VF5 is apparently the new hotness.
-
I am where I always am.
-
If my half day get's approved tomorrow would you guys be up for a little VF5? :| I a little time in today so maybe I won't suck as bad.
-
If anything happens this weekend, it'll have to be tomorrow or I won't be able to make it.
-
Would Monday work? :|
-
No. Sunday = Father's day, Monday = brother's birthday. But hey, if Sat's a no-go, then I'm sure you'll manage without me since I haven't picked up VF and am not terribly keen on starting that game with matches seeing as I have virtually no experience with it. Plus it means more time for Recettear and Agarest War Zero :nyoro:
-
Ouch, busy weekend.
As for VF, take your time. Welfare version is only $15, bundle is $30 but for limited time only. I started out with matches the same day I got it but I had played the series a little before. Not much.
-
This is just a busy time of the year for me in general with birthdays for both of my brothers, my sister, brother-in-law, and father, with father's day as icing, all crammed into a space of like 2 1/2 weeks.
-
Ryd:
WHY
ARE
YOU
PLAYING
IDEA
FACTORY
GAMES
:bricks:
There's no one forcing you to play VF if you came by. Pretty sure people would be willing to play SC5, or MB, or SFxT (ok that last one is a lie). Also, let me know if you still want to go to Evo -- it feels like I've been changing things daily.
-
Ryd:
WHY
ARE
YOU
PLAYING

FACTORY
GAMES
:bricks:
That's why.
In all honesty, I'm not seeing the reason for all the hate for this one. Mechanics-wise, it isn't amazing, but feels like it takes at least a bit more thought than most other tactical RPGs I've played, which isn't a bad thing. Not unbelievably complex (though I'd probably like that), but it doesn't take the FF-approach of "just hit everything as hard as you can", either. It hasn't gotten there yet, anyway. The system doesn't seem extraordinarily clunky, and the item creation system isn't terrible (yet?). I'm liking the story, characters, etc.; but that's to be expected.
Evo probably won't happen; a few weeks back I saw they sold out of spectator tickets, and paying $70+expenses is not terribly appealing when the cash could be put toward more useful things, like another PS2 or a new TV so I don't have to break my eyes trying to read PS3 game text on a CRT.
-

You could've replaced the last title with OMKC and it wouldn't be. Some of the newer characters have legitimately sparked my interest but I'm just too damn lazy to install it.
Truth be told, I'm enjoying VF more than initially anticipated. I'm just afraid that all the time I'm putting in now may all go out the window with all the upcoming titles over the next couple of months when people start playing them. :\
-
GGs in VF5FS last night.
102 games vs Tempered. :psyduck: Last time I played 100+ consecutive matches was in MBAA on my b-day back in 2010.
-
102 games vs Tempered. :psyduck: Last time I played 100+ consecutive matches was in MBAA on my b-day back in 2010.
That's not counting the 60 games we played before dinner. :V
Really, though? I remember going through some of my old UStream footage and found one night later in 2011 where we played an absurd number of games -- the final win count was 110-60 or something stupid... although that may not have been 100 straight at any one point.
-
I highly doubt all those matches were between us, but rather everyone who was there at the time and we just happened to not go back to title screen since you could set your buttons mid-match.
Saw that super long VF5FS tutorial but I've only gotten through the first hour of it, I'll have to watch the rest eventually. :psyduck: Just gotta start actually using all of the information. I like the game enough right now, but there are still some things that kinda piss me off.
I'll see you guys later today if I get my half day. Hopefully Tempered hears my phone call/text if that's the case. :|
-
How do I play fighting games again...?
-
Anyone available tomorrow or Monday night?
-
I'm always available. :gonk:
-
Tomorrow, probably; Monday, no.
-
im up for whatever.
-
I'll probably head over in a couple hours. Not sure how things'll go today seeing as I'm sleep deprived and have had my soul devoured by AWZ, but eh, whatever.
-
I think I'm really liking this character.
-
I know dippy's in LA right now, but who's available Saturday night? I have work the next day so I won't be able to stay past midnight-ish, 1 at the latest. I'll see if I can find my PS2.
-
Sat should work for me.
-
Tempered send me a text if you're off work early.
See you guys later. Found my PS2 so we can start whatever it is we were planning next. Hopefully it still works :psyduck:
-
I'll need to know what time to head over.
-
not off work yet. Its pretty slow today and usually I get off around 5:30 on days like which would get me home at around 7.
-
Guess I'll head over around 7. Just txt us when you're back.
Going to grab some food before I head over.

yeah im home now

Quotebook for the night (7/1/12):
"Only one of those costumes is vomit-inducing."
*sees magical wand winpose"
"Ok Tempered you're a faggot.
- I KNEW you'd a have much stronger aversion to this. The magical wand + silly hat is 100 times worse than ANY of the faults I had with my costume which wasn't many to begin with. :|
*turns head slowly*
"Rei, you've been working too hard."
-
Don't kid yourself, H-F. Tempered's outfit may have revealed him to be the Touhou fag we always suspected, but yours made me want to turn you in to the fashion police. Murder may not be as grandiose a crime as suicide-bombing with a loaded 747, but it's still a crime. Tempered's outfit, unfortunately, has a certain aesthetic appeal that works with it - it's just gay as hell. There was no excuse for yours. I'm glad you saw things my way and took steps to fix it.
I got Agarest War 2 yesterday; there goes the rest of the summer. I'm a little perplexed about the story for that one because it's the reverse of everything I know: you start the game after the main character has killed a god, and is forced to atone by giving his and his descendents' lives toward resurrecting the god. It's like an anti-SMT game, except if it's like AWZ, it's still going to try to rape me every chance it gets.
-
Come on, let's get real. The fashion police have no jurisdiction here. :V
I suppose Tempered's costumed revealed his "true nature" if you will. Mine on the other hand :mystery:
In all honesty, I did consider using the blonde hair before. It's just that the aqua hair was my first pick and I just stuck with it. I didn't have any real motivation to change it due to sheer laziness up until now. But I guess I saw it coming. :bricks:
-
Tempered's outfit, unfortunately, has a certain aesthetic appeal that works with it - it's just gay as hell.
1) ive never hidden that I was a touhou fag.
2) I have SOME sense of fashion.
-
Hey, I never said the outfit was terrible, but the wand thing was just gay. I have minor qualms about the hat you chose to go with a cheongsam (iirc), but that was a minor offense.
Turns out I'll be in Vegas Wed-Sat.
-
Only minor qualms? Being pretty generous here. :V The hat does look kinda out of place with a cheongsam.
What's ironic about all this, is that it started with a magical wand. According to shindanmaker (lol) I'm 0% anime (yes, ZERO PERCENT) and in order for me to be more anime I should use a magical wand. But since I don't....I win! That 0% is all that matters. :X
-
Tempered I have a half day tomorrow. What time do you normally get out? Whenever you do just text me or something. Hopefully I won't be trying to kill too much time. Guess we could play some VF and COD while having some Evo streams running in the background.
-
Anyone feel like meeting up today?
-
aka sunday. i dont have a problem with it.
-
Pre-booked today, sorry guys.
-
I know this is random but watching some P4A vids I think Naoto might interest carlos as well.
-
I hope that isn't the end of the thought process.
-
Going to stick with my original picks. Make it easy on myself. :X
-
I hope that isn't the end of the thought process.
It's Tempered; assuming there's a thought process to begin with is :V.
-
Well, he had a thought of sorts; I figure something had to spark it.
-
Whats there to expand upon. She can have multiple traps out unlike Yukiko (well ive only seen her plant one) and is annoying to move in on cause she can just shoot people. Just thought it might interest carlos. I just happened upon that video and it was literally the first time I saw Naoto.
-
You didn't give any reasons or link a video or anything, which left me thinking "Oh...is that so? Okay...why?" I've seen a few Naoto's before, but it was a while ago and I wasn't horribly impressed, but maybe people have figured her out now; I haven't been keeping up. I'd have to see Naoto's color palette first and foremost though. I don't really care much about her as a character, so she'll either need an awesome color or have a playstyle that's a veritable wetdream for me to really be interested. Just on paper, her traps are kinda neat I guess, but the IK thing seems kind of lame. Remember, there are some types of lameness that just aren't for me; I never touched Arakune in CT, after all.
My main reasons for wanting to play Yukiko are pretty much all of the above; color 8, character luff, and negative edge traps. Really have a hard time living without those after F-Akiha.
-
video games this weekend?
-
Maybe. Which games and when?
-
Dippy and I will probably be playing some VF and Tempered may jump in for a few. And there's always Melty, so...what about that Melty gauntlet I mentioned I while back? I have MBAC ver.B PC but I might need to dig up MBAC PS2. lol
Also, some guy's twitter background eerily reminded me of broken neck woman for a split second. eeesh man. :gonk: If you want to continue your FF3 playthrough I'll bring the PS2 again. I might just end up leaving it there since I have no use for it at this time.
-
I'd want some SCV somewhere in there. I'm still surprised at how much I like that game, even if it does have some aggravating moments. Of course, I'll probably be dropping everything for P4U.
So...today, tomorrow, Monday...? Also, if you plan on leaving the PS2, can I borrow it?
-
I most likely won't be able to make it tonight. Sunday/Monday can work, but I'll lean towards tomorrow.
Also if you borrow my PS2, then we might not see the rest of the FF3 playthrough (and your struggle against its amazing controls). :<
-
I'd have to bring it whenever I show anyway since, even if I abandon FF3, you guys have Silent Hill to play through.
-
indeed. anyways either day is fine for me, its up for what you guys want. Id be up for some SCV and MB as well as VF.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFF'CK it. I just watched a FT10 in AH3, and it kinda got me excited again. Anyone up for some of that? lol (yeah right) :psyduck:
-
Never got a copy, and with Persona around the corner.... :V
-
I mean tomorrow. Not in 2 weeks. :-\
-
I haven't touched it in...what...a year? Something like that? No condition to be playing someone without a major training mode session first, and by the time that happened, it'd be time for Persona. Sorry, H-F; sometimes you just have to let go.
-
Fine, I'll be honest and say I don't feel like playing SC5 tomorrow. While it may not have been a year since I last played it, with VF out I've had no reason to touch the game anymore. After having spent some quality time with it, I just find it very hard to have fun with SC5 even with its faults. And besides, TTT2 comes out in less than 2 months. I dunno about everyone else, but I kinda wanna play that game especially since it's being handled much better. The SC series is a niche game at this point. I've given SC5 a fair chance and I still can't find the same level of enjoyment. SC2 was the last time I truly enjoyed an SC game, even at the casual level. 5 just doesn't cut it for me. I find it funny that all these new costume packs are being released for SC5 (for a price) and a lot of them are costumes of Tekken characters. Makes me think they're inadvertently telling everyone to just wait for TTT2 (where all the dlc is free). AH3 is a game that I truly enjoy, spent a lot of time to get good at, and won a MAJOR for. So telling me to let go and forget about it isn't something I will take lightly. I'd gladly let go of SC5 long before AH3. The AH games have progressively gotten better with each iteration. Can't say the same for the Soul series. Project Soul needs to take lessons from Harada on post-launch support.
-
Easy there, we all know you don't care much for SC5. Frankly, I find it amusing to be pointing at SC5 and calling it niche and not-as-well-handled-as-it-could-be when we're posting on a MB forum and AH3 was just mentioned, but I've been recently informed that one shouldn't speak unkindly of the dead, so I'll hold off on further comment in that regard. Ultimately, I find the game's fun, it has characters that I like, it will always have a player base here because (like it or not) it is a major title, it's received a lot more than novelty support thus far, and if EVO is any indication, the game really isn't in a bad spot balance-wise; that's really enough for me.
-
eeeesh. One of the longer posts I've written in a while, without even knowing it. :psyduck:
I didn't mean to point out SC5 as being a niche game in a bad light, after all MB and AH3 are niche games as well and I haven't forgotten my background. We all have different reasons for liking certain games. I think people don't fully understand me when I say I play fighting games. Meaning I judge a game based on its fighting game mechanics first and foremost, everything else is secondary. P4UA is going to be NO exception. I had a feeling that Evo would be mentioned. I wouldn't consider Evo as the sole basis for credibility because 1) since it's not the only major that took place this year so you can't really disregard all the results leading up to it, and 2) there's also "politics" behind it. SC5 was fortunate to have its chance on the Evo stage. A game like AH3 was not so fortunate and for reasons I'm not allowed to discuss.
-
Carlos, if Ruben still wants an explanation as to why I believe C-Ciel is a stronger pick then F-Ciel, just copy and paste this:
It's all in the neutral game imo. C can fight effectively at ranges that F can't, specifically long range. F's knife set covers some very good angles and can be done as stand alone attacks, but the thing is, C has them too although it is somewhat different. This is probably going to be the deal breaker though: 236C (EX Halo). As sad as that sounds, it's the truth. This one attack only costs 100% meter, and there's just too many things to say about it. Even after all the tweaking it has received, it's still one of the best moves in the game. As I like to say it, it's the kind of move only a KOF boss would have, only differences are they would have a version that comes out in 1 frame, recovers instantly, and guard breaks. But that's besides the point. This move can be a game changer as it totally shuts down other zoning characters. Those characters have to play at your pace and have to respect you at range when you have meter. Going back to the knife set between C and F, C can combo off its knife set with 100% with both 236C (if you're at full screen) AND 623C (not as far). These moves allow C to score damage and close the distance at a range where F can't. There's also the Moon specific mechanics that come into play as well like having access to dodge and being able to sit on 200% meter for a really long time but it's still debatable. C can techically fight any matchup and not be any worse off than F. F will struggle against zoners and characters with superior space control like C-Mech and F-Hime for example. C does not have to worry about this. C can not only fight back against their zoning games but 236C will shut them down. F-Hime has her own 236C which makes the matchup a bit more manageable but it's still a tough match for her. I haven't seen a single matchup where F is the far superior pick to use over C.
tl;dr version: 236C is the deal breaker. I'm sure anyone can get the jist of that and everything else will fall into place.
-
HF, I'll always be up for Arcana, but you'll have to compromise: We have to netplay. D=
I love that game so much.
-
NO NETPLAY
dippy I might be out early tomorrow or Thursday so up for VF? If so I'll txt you.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSR3vaawfnE have fun carlos
-
I thought we already established that I don't go for impractical crap :psyduck:
-
its always practical in p4a
-
So im guessing sunday is when people are going to show up this weekend?
Also nice avatar HF.
-
Bring your friends Sunday, as we have the hottest new fighting game in town -- it starts with a P and ends with a hantom Breaker (and H-F breaking my DVD in half).
I also some fighting game about kids from Inaba with personas or some shit...
Tempered already learned Naoto's 100% damage Naoto combos, the fucker.
-
Damn, now I have to show.
-
dippy, change "half" to a million pieces. You also forgot to add shoving the shattered pieces down your throat. I SO called it. That game's NOT coming out here. Because if it were, where is it? lol Besides, I already showed you what you guys would have to do to get me to play that game again, and nobody's willing to go through all that trouble.
Also nice avatar HF.
I've always had a nice avatar. :D
-
Besides, I already showed you what you guys would have to do to get me to play that game again, and nobody's willing to go through all that trouble.
I think I missed it. Was it spooning? I'm not really big on it, but I might be willing to take that hit if it'd get you to play PB; your reactions to it seem like they'd make it worth the cost.
-
Spooning? What the hell? :psyduck:
I was referring to this (http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/4628/snm.png). Which NO ONE is going to want to do. I'm no innocent rope maiden (though that image uses chains) who's willing to sacrifice themselves for a world not worth saving. Besides, why are you guys so dead set on getting me to play that game anyway? Me and that game have a negative compatibility rating. And none of you guys can give me an honest answer, let alone one with a straight face. :|
Don't you guys just want to jump into the world of P4UA and forget that anything else exists? I can't believe PB is even being mentioned in the same discussion as P4UA, that's like an insult to P4UA. Shame on you guys. :V
-
Hey, I gave you an honest answer. My reasons for wanting you to play PB are the same as my reasons for pretty much every other social interaction/activity I willingly observe/take part in: because I sense a reasonable potential for entertainment and/or amusement...
Spooning? What the hell? :psyduck:
Q.E.D.
Besides, while I am reasonably hype for P4A, I'm not going to get too serious about it until I have steady access to training mode; so, 1.5 weeks. I'll definitely be there to push buttons tomorrow, but I'm not going all in yet.
-
Honesty isn't something that we specialize in. :V I'd understand if you guys would try to get me to play something like AquaPazza, or Ougon even. But PB? Come on now.
I'll mash buttons with you in P4UA since I have yet to touch it myself.
-
...
(http://ui01.gamespot.com/504/fatalframe4_2.jpg)
Hi.
-
shes cute. Just need to learn how to apply makeup. or take some diazepam to steady her hands.
also carlos I cant do anything outgoing on my phone. but if you need anything I have no problem with it.
also doing things same time same place.
-
Did not see the third edit until today. Oh well. Roast bear time.
-
Probably should've made a new post. Oh well.
HF is coming over today to celebrate P4A or something so id figure id invite you and anyone else who wants to come as well.
-
Hell, I didn't know about this until today and I live there!
-
Eh...don't think I'll make today. Tired as fuck and I'm probably going to be locked away in the lab for the next couple days.
Yukiko's story mode is amazing and terrifying beyond reason.
-
Still working through lots of theory and testing, but Yukiko might kinda crazy. Eddie-style unblockables (though harder to set up) with straight up unblockables and heavy corner pressure; depending on how well she can string it all together, this might be really dumb in the best way possible.
Also, Mass Destruction has become my training theme. I hate the song, but it seems most appropriate for some bizarre reason :psyduck:
-
I almost feel like this is my own personal thread now. Seems way too late for an edit that's unrelated to the previous entry. Anyway, I'll be bringing Majikoi on Sunday, Tempered; the anime and my laptop with the VN so you can preview some of the more awesome moments.
-
I'm debating opening up sessions to people from Dustloop for P4A... but I don't know who outside of anyone in this thread would come to begin with.
-
I'm down for meeting up tomorrow if everyone else is.
-
Doesn't hurt in asking Dippy. and if people want to come over tomorrow i'm up for games.
-
Sadly I didn't get to play against everyone at the meetup the other night, but there were a lot of setups. Having work the next morning is bleh. I feel like it's a great opportunity though. Our (usual) Sunday sessions give us the chance to play each other and fine tune what we already know or test new things, and the sessions with the DL guys give us the matchup experience we would otherwise be missing while playing against each other.
-
GGs today. I'm not ready to write off the Mitsuru matchup quite yet. A bit of hindsight and quick experimentation provided some things that should make things easier. One is not forgetting to use 236B as a combo ender when I don't have Mitsuru (and Kanji/Akihiko/Chie/etc.) in the corner; being blown away full screen would've gone a long way in helping keep things under control. I'm stupid for completely forgetting about that. Second was giving the 5D series more thought; seems like it would work well as a block string ender since it gives Yukiko more breathing room, but I need to play with it some more to assess the risk to the persona. I also just found out I can pick up off the 2B series for moderate~relatively high damage (2.7k~3.7k) on anti-air CH. And I still need to work on proper hit confirms and not dropping the combos that chunk the opponent's health bar.
-
GGs as well. I know Mitsuru is a very aggravating character to fight against and I'd feel the same way. The Yu vs Yukiko matchup is quite fun and it feels like the match flows quite well. I need to stop dropping such easy combos though. Starting a combo or inserting an A attack somewhere in the starter just messes everything up.
I have to pick up my check from the office today, anyone possibly up for another session? :psyduck:
-
I know its late but id be up for some. probably kick you out around 7 or 8 though.
And yeah GGs. Naoto sweep a bit better than I gave credit for. I also need to learn to just go for better combos more. SMP can be started quite a way away from the corner. Also honestly I like the Mitsuru matchup over the Yu matchup for Naoto
-
Oh shit, 7 or 8? I better head over now then. :| Now that I've got all my errands done for the day, I better move. Also, preferring to fight Mitsuru over Yu? That's a big surprise to me. :|
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXnZ8iSZ9pY
-
For the record, Yukiko does recover health in Dia during Naoto's IK. Had one try that while I was low at health; by the time the IK finished, I was back up to half and it cost him the match, lol. Player probably wasn't too happy about that :V
In other news, I am sorely tempted to give up netplay outside of anyone I know. People losing to full screen fans and Maragi was cute at first, but it gets old really fast.
-
Its netplay. 80% of the player base is going to be bad.
-
Well, there's "bad", and then there's "how have you not gotten yourself killed walking into oncoming traffic? :psyduck:"
"New" tech for today: real Fire Break setups, finding more ways to burn the meter that I always end up with too much of. Neverending training mode. Add me or something; post here or text me for games since I'm not always signed in. PSN: Aetherin
Especially H-F. All these Yus that move around exclusively with A+C and sj dive are going to make me forget what he can really do.
-
Ill add you and play every now and then. Should be fine since 4 bars are rather nice. You can also ask us if you want netplay. just text me or something.
-
same time same place tommorow. Ill also want to get P3P of your PSP carlos.
-
Good thing you didn't have your heart set on FES, because you weren't going to get it.
-
I'll add you the next time I sign in. A+C only for movement? It's not the only way to travel you know. :psyduck: I find it hard to believe that so many people would have little to no understanding on how to play such an easy character. But then again I can't say I'm surprised.
-
http://www.twitch.tv/jiyuna/b/329428368 both carlos and HF should enjoy this. some Yukiko vs Narukami.
First bit is yukiko vs akahiko so skip that if you want.
ok not as much as I initially thought. ill leave the link up there. and this one http://www.twitch.tv/jiyuna/b/329414866
-
Okay, so I need H-F to bait DPs and get hit by them anyway, drop more combos, waste a lot of meter for no reason, and run into everything. I'll get right on that.
-
I didn't actually watch it :V
Also when I try to play P3P it hangs trying to load the first battle. That ever happen to you carlos?
-
Yes. What might work, or at least what worked for me, is installing the game data (running off the stick already, I know, but w/e). For whatever reason, data install fixes that lock up problem. On the offhand chance it happens again with data install, I've heard putting the PSP to sleep and turning it back on fixes it. If you have problems beyond that...I got nothing.
-
I ended up getting another ISO. w/e
Also HF. have you been watching LKs mitsuru at all?
-
I saw his tourney matches from last weekend. I'm still trying to reliably land that 7.7K awakening combo. It's just too clutch.
-
Orrax/Luke is interested in hitting up our group for P4A since the DL group is conflicted between Ruben having hosting complications and GW2 launching.
In other news, it's unlikely that I'll be able to make it this weekend.
-
Bummer. Well ill check dustloop or MM and see whats going on with Orrax
-
I almost want to stream someone playing this now:
http://vgboy.dabomstew.com/other/ib.htm
Edit:
My Xbox HDD seems to have leprosy. At least I think it has leprosy. It's making a clicking sound when the Xbox is powered on. Dippy, do you know of any voodoo capable of fixing this? Preferably in the $20-30 or less price range, as any more, and I may as well pick up another one.
-
Will try to make it this weekend, but I make no promises on account of Makoto Shinkai turning me into a listless, weepy bitch.
-
The clicking bit sounds like the HDD is dying (which is what you get for playing too many Idea Factory games). There is no real fix outside of replacing it, so I would advise either backing up your data to cloud saves or a thumbstick ASAP.
-
just come over. we can watch the persona anime or something. or play persona. or something else entirely. Also HF seems to have a new schedule which might make Saturdays more convenient for people.
-
The last post makes it sound like there's a meetup tonight. Is that the case? Or does tomorrow work? And yeah, my upcoming schedule gives me weekends off now. Though there is the chance I might get a new job, and if that's the case, who knows what my days off will be at that point.
-
I...guess I could maybe make tonight if we really want to. Will have to decide soon though, 'cause I have other things I'll default to otherwise.
-
well I think for now it would be best to keep a meetup for tomorrow so we can discuss it then.
-
See you guys tomorrow.
Dippy do you have any really good Aoi combos against the big fatty (aka Taka)? I'm coordinating a CMV project with VFDC and Aoi is one of the few who aren't represented yet. It can be really easy or extremely situational so long as it only works against him. That's the only restriction.
-
Holy crap, these netplay rules. Win x games in a row, get jack shit, next game carries the "lose and rank down" tag! I thought winning was supposed to give you a chance to rank up...?
-
Taka ONLY? I don't have anything off of the top of my head; the combos I typically do against him are either the same as they are with the normal heavyweights or cut down even further. I could definitely come up with something with some time in the lab.
-
I finally made an account here. I always knew this day would come.
Anyway, Dipstick, what was that PS3 to 360 converter you mentioned? Sorry for having to ask this yet again; it's like the name of this thing occupies a blind spot in my memory.
-
Why do we post on Melty Bread about playing P4A? Or VF5:FS? Or Double Dragon? Who knows. Good to know the poverty from last weekend didn't scare you off.
The converter you're looking for is the Xtokki 360 converter (http://etokki.com/Xtokki360). There are some other places that resell it, but they don't seem to be priced any better than buying direct.
-
Thanks. Hmm, looks like that's actually a PS2 to 360 converter. Even better.
Edit: I found this: http://www.xgaming.com/store/x-arcade-adapters/product/x-arcade-xbox-360-adapter/
Looks like the same thing from the pictures. And costs $10 less. But then, it costs $10 in shipping for some reason when eTokki can apparently ship from Korea for under $4. I guess X-Arcade only uses Fed Ex for some reason? Weird.
Doesn't look like either one would arrive by Saturday anyway, though.
-
lol we post about games that this forum isn't about. Double Dragon? lolz
I still need to order that converter, and a new PS2 controller while I'm at it.
Dippy could you send me your VF findings over on VFDC? Now that I think about it the AZ thread over there is pretty dead. Last post was by SF_Punker and he said he was gonna be at hazbats this Saturday. I kinda wanna play him but I dunno if he'd be down for that. Also would you be up for TTT2 on launch day?
-
I guess we could annex the thread on MM; not like the DL group is really using it. It'd give me a reason to push my MB bookmarks off to the side with the rest of the forgotten games, too.
Somewhat more (or less?) relevant; are we meeting on Sat now? I don't mind skipping Hazbats since I'm not digging the 360-only thing and have nothing against saving $10 when there are other, potentially free, community plans in the works.
-
Well it depends on what dippy wants to do. I dont mind going to hazbats cause I have a 360 stick, But i know that'll keep Orrax and HF out for this weekend. Also if we wanted to meetup it would have to be friday or sunday. which conflicts again. I also dont really care. Do I want more P4 action. sure. Can I be spending money now? not really.
Also MM is going to get put on blast by Dippy so doubtful. And I still want to play MB. And what happens when AP comes out? TTT2? UNIB? its whatever.
-

VF players are nuts; if you can find an open station I'm pretty sure he would play all night. :p You could... you know... ask! As for my combo submissions, I haven't really diddled around much more with it; probably will tonight though (Aoi is not a character you play if you like making combo videos...).
Tekken? Tuesday? Sure; you'll need to bring your copy though as I know you can't play fuck all on the X360 and my PS3 copy is being shipped through Amazon.
I guess we could annex the thread on MM
FUCK. THAT. MM is ass.
Somewhat more (or less?) relevant; are we meeting on Sat now? I don't mind skipping Hazbats since I'm not digging the 360-only thing and have nothing against saving $10 when there are other, potentially free, community plans in the works.
Currently, I was planning on hosting on Sundays on the weekends that Hazbats were happening, and Saturdays the weekends they were not. However, if the larger animu collective is going to do their own thing (and I'm not really opposed to the idea), then I would adjust as needed.
If you guys want to meet tomorrow and kick the Hazbat thing to the curb, I don't care. Just decide and post up here by the time I get out of work tomorrow.
-
Looks like I might end up going to the Hazbats since someone's willing to lend me a pad. I kind of want to see what the competition is like anyway.
I also can't meet Sunday this week. Possibly not next week either, not sure yet.
-
Yeah, I'm not really feeling AP. I have yet to see a character that really jumps out at me as being fun to play, and every other match in vids has a Chizuru.
-
I'd personally be a little more interested in trying AP if it weren't released so close to P4UA and TTT2. But then again, Chizuru would be the character I'd play, and I don't think people would like that very much. :psyduck:
Regarding the hazbats, everything being on 360 kinda gimps me out. But I'll be ordering that converter soon. Just dunno how long it'll take to ship.
I would have asked SF_Punker about playing VF offline, but I didn't say anything about how we meet up every weekend because I dunno if you would have been ok with it. But he is in Mesa. I'd really like to play more than 1 person offline if possible. :| On Tuesday I can bring my TTT2 disc so that won't be a problem.
As for MB, yeah the game's not really going anywhere at this point. But I really wanna just go back and play all the older games just for lolz since it's not like we have anything to prepare for. :-\
About my current schedule, there's a good chance these weekends off for me aren't going to last. Apparently there's going to be another shift bid next week and I think everyone is required to take part in it. Which REALLY sucks because I just got this schedule that gave me weekends off. So who knows what I'm going to get when the results are posted on the 17th. The new schedules go live on the 30th which is odd because the work week for us starts on Monday and not Sunday. Blargh. I'm hoping to get another job by then so I'm no longer around when Apple's new software gets released. But even if I do, there's still no telling what my days off will be.
-
Id imagine we could have SF_Punker over. Would get a little wierd yeah but oh well. Maybe earlier in the day since you show up early anyways HF.
Well the real question is Hazbats or Regular meetup tommorow? Honestly with it being from 4:30 - 6:30 we could have both. I want to go to hazbats. But i'm fine with staying at home as mentioned before.
-
I won't be going to Hazbats. Cost, large number of people playing games I don't care about, the potential for there not being a proportionate number of setups to the number of players (keeping wait times reasonable), and just remembering SRK tendencies to start drama over the smallest shit.....nah. I'll wait and see what comes of the UAT gatherings Ruben was working on.
-
I have no set idea of what I'm doing today because my sister decided to show up in town without warning. I'm probably still going to Hazbats. I may also be able to show up after if you guys are hosting. The former is much more likely than the latter, however.
-
Yeah I think well just host like normal this week. Same time same place people. Good luck orrax.
-
Today or tomorrow? 'Cause I can totally make today (like right now) if you guys have nothing else.
-
Good shit today. I mean that, too; the only things I'm really pissed about are the really retarded ones, with the crown going to getting tagged by Mitsuru's jB without being touched by the damn thing. Other than shit like that, I didn't really mind much. I might just be feeling myself up a bit, but it seems like it's getting more and more dangerous to let my Yukiko get hits; less gimmicky shit overall, more real setups, and landing real combos with greater consistency. Now to see what Slab can do.
-
Yeah GGs definitely. I've noticed that you're capitalizing on openings a lot more which is good because you really need it in this game. Then there was that sneaky crossup that I only had like a 1 in 3 success rate defending against. Also that j.B Mitsuru crossup was....yeaaaaaah. It made me reach the "Ok I'm done with that" phase sooner than expected. I kinda wish the game had replay saves just for stuff like that because even I can't argue with that. The only things I could get upset about, were the instances when Yu and Izanagi wanted be a pair of dingleknocking mongoloids and do something completely different from what I told them. The most notable examples being random opening round gold burst, 5BC into 5D instead of slide, and slide > RC > slide. Other than that, can't really complain. Show us your Shabrys, err, Slab next weekend. Truth be told I kinda did wanna play Chie (lol) but if I did, that means I'm playing 3 of the 4 best characters in the game and, eh, I don't think people would like that very much. :V But I'm willing to try out something new, if you consider her all that new compared to the 2 characters I'm already playing. :|
dippy are you still down for TTT2 on Tuesday? Without going back too deep into last night's discussion, I feel like if you enjoy a game enough, and have other people to play against, that's usually good enough for me. Fighting games aren't meant to be played alone. What gets me down personally is that I get the feeling people just don't like playing against me in any game, even if it's not so visible when I'm there. All I really wanna do with fgs these days is to have fun and learn the games at a decent enough level. I agree that the whole e-sports thing has really changed the way people look at fgs these days and I can't say I agree with it either. Doesn't mean we have to follow suit.
In any case, I'm going to place my order for the 360 converter soon but I dunno when it'll arrive. What I'd like to do is have my PS3 as a dedicated Persona setup and then we can use the 360 for VF/TTT2 or if you don't mind playing TTT2 on your PS3. Just so I know, it IS possible for both players to use costume edits offline right? And you can grind for fight money really fast? :| They really dropped the ball on those with T6 (among other things).

By the way, H-F, you may not need to get a converter for Hazbats. I'm sure it'd be convenient, but, despite advertising it as 360 only, they were running PS3 setups as well. I played all my matches on PS3.

Come by Tuesday; nothing has changed there.
Let me get this out, up front: I was not getting upset because I was playing you -- I was getting irritated because I was playing like absolute trash. I honestly don't see how those later games could have been even remotely interesting; there was no challenge there at all. It's awful when you're playing like crap, you know what you need to do to play better... but it just never happens. In the few rounds where there was a major shift in move selection and cadence, I would have a lot more success... but then something would go wrong and it would be back to the same old elbow low jab elbow low jab elbow low jab bullshit. I know about eighteen reasons why it's so bad but when it comes down to it, I don't have any confidence in pushing the right button, which is why the overly conservative play happens.
I could see how you perceive people as not enjoying playing you; I suspect it's due to a few reasons. You have a fairly high level of latent talent, your play is very straightforward, and you're not very good at explaining what's going on when you're playing -- never mind trying to explain what someone else what they could do to improve. Don't take that last point as a failing on your part -- most top players, from my experience, play at an instinctual level and don't really have a mechanical understanding of the game. They just know what works, and what to do in a given situation.
The whole e-sports for fighting games movement is a bit of a lark, and honestly I don't have a problem with it in and of itself (as the events get bigger and the players become more well known, of course there's going to be more money to be thrown around). I don't even have a problem with that, in and of itself. It's more of the myopia of both the organizations involved and the players; this sub-genre is not nearly big enough to allow the smaller communities to survive and breathe while a plurality is focused on the biggest games. People who play and push smaller games are seen as threats.
Please order that converter as soon as possible... fucking pad players. :V Yes, both players can use custom outfits in offline versus in TTT2 -- it loads the outfits for both players from the lead profile, 10 slots per character (so you can't load your profile remotely and then use your own outfits). As for grinding money... eh, it's still kind of bad. Fastest way to earn money (offline, anyway) is through Fight Lab; at least that's a bit more useful than the dumb scenario mode in Tekken 6.
-
A few of us tucsonites would love to play netplay with you guys some time in the near future. I'm teaching some newer players. :3
I should be getting a vehicle of my own in the coming months. Maybe carpools?

Namco's beta testing still needs work. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7PoZmhUxGFA)
-
Needless swag (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fAVIfvAatvA#t=252s). Pity it's 3x the effort for a bit less damage than you should be able to get otherwise. Somewhat related; Ruben's hosting again on Friday, last time he'll be hosting until he gets situated elsewhere, though there'll still supposedly be the UAT things on the weekends when Hazbats aren't happening.
-
lol I was just about to link that video carlos. I probably wont go to Rubens this friday.
-
So much of that video is showing off for the sake of showing off. Naturally, I approve, though I don't think I'll put too much effort into learning most of that since there's way too much meter being burned for the damage returned in most of the non-basic combos. The really good stuff is during the credit roll; DP-safe unblockable oki vs most of the cast and, more importantly, stuff that I was recently starting to work out on my own: combos into double unblockables for (near) full life kills. Just a little too much emphasis on OMB than I'm comfortable with for Yukiko, but she really needs it to score real setups on grounded opponents...
Was anyone planning on Hazbats this weekend?
-
Was anyone planning on Hazbats this weekend?
Honestly, after seeing how tight everyone was getting after watching the stream of the last Hazbat, I want everyone to go.
-
I'm trying to keep unnecessary costs down due to an unexpected vet bill. Just send H-F and let him take that shit for free.
-
lol I played Persona the other day and right now I feel so stiff at the game. Not sure if I can go to Ruben's tomorrow night, but I'll have to see. I'd like to not be the only one going to Hazbats if at all possible. :psyduck:
-
well dippy is probably taking me so that'll be fine. Also we will still host on Saturday just a little bit later. Probably around 7:30.
-
Where can I find info about the Hazbats tomorrow, like the location, time, etc? I'm fine if you guys host tomorrow night as well. I'd like to keep my Sundays open now that I have them off. Once again the new schedule I just got gives me weekends off again thankfully.
-
I may not make it to the ranbats. 6am and I'm still not asleep; totally fried after the gauntlet I ran at Ruben's. Everyone wanted in on the Yukiko action.
-

Here's the Hazbats info. (https://www.facebook.com/events/250270561742708/)
I will be there as well.

well as I mentioned if well still be hosting afterwards. so if you want you can show up for persona or the TTT2/aquapazza action we'll most likely be having.
-
GGs today. Sorry if I seemed a bit irritable, Luke, but A) I was/am suffering from sleep deprivation, and B) Chie is dumb and the embodiment of just about everything I've ever disliked in fighting game characters:
1) brain dead oki setups off just about every knockdown, with multiple chances to open you up each time, and she doesn't have to commit to mixup until it's safe; Millia's Secret Garden with the setup time of Testament's nets
2) A A A A A A A A A A A; plus on block...why? I hated this crap in MB and BB, and my feelings toward it haven't changed
3) too much damage off twitchy attacks (FB puffball, BBU)
4) super that is a free ticket in, completely overriding the inherent design philosophy of being overbearing up close at the cost of being weak at range
I actually have less issues on principle with Yu (sword dives not unsafe enough, Cross Slash too good; his oki doesn't bother me quite as much - doesn't feel as airtight and idiot-proof as Chie's) and Mitsuru (Bufudyne's hitbox too big, does not need D whips when she dominates mid range and has fast gap closers). Not to say that I find Chie unbeatable, just really, really dumb.
-
No problem, Carlos, and GGs. I have to be extremely patient to get in on your Yukiko; pretty much every time I rush things I end up paying for it.
I think you might be giving Chie's oki a little more credit than it deserves, though. After messing around in training mode a bit, it looks like you can just delay your tech against the 5DD oki; that should make it so that you can DP after I've already committed to the mixup, not before. As long as you're delaying it enough, I don't think I can prevent you DPing after I've already started inputting an airdash. I can delay my jump and mixup as well, but so long as you delay yours long enough, I don't think I can help but leave a gap in my offense. I might be able to block if I go for empty jump 2A, I guess. I still need to test that. You can also skip the j.DD meaty entirely if you just late tech. I'm not entirely sure about 2DD yet. All the stuff for 5DD should apply, except more easily for you since it has like half the active frames.
5A is definitely stupid, though. It's only +1, so you can mess with it if you IB depending on whether I dash or not (can't poke out/throw if I do two standing 5As right after each other), but I don't know how reliable that is. IBing well-staggered 5A pressure seems risky. I also don't really have any particularly great mixup off of it (AOA, throw, or crossup, mostly). What seems really dumb about the move is the way it baits DPs. DP safe 5A that's the fastest normal in the game and is plus on block...yep, definitely dumb.
Meteors is a pretty silly super, I agree. The downside is that spending 50-100 meter just to get in can significantly limit my damage output. I feel like it's somewhat balanced out by how good fire break is (or whatever the move is that makes your fire attacks unblockable), but that may partly be because I still don't know how to deal with it.
-
So uh guys, those who are going to povertfest that is, what are the plans? Are you leaving tomorrow night instead of today? If so, then I should be able to tag along. I requested Monday off but I probably won't know if it gets approved until the weekend, so I can call the office this weekend to check up on that. Yeah, we really know how to plan things out here. :psyduck:
-
I'm guessing you got my texts H-F and you're coming to my place after work, since I haven't heard of anything else.
If it isn't known already, there's no session this week! You'll have to be sadlife somewhere else this weekend. :gonk:
-
So DoA5 works with my PS2>USB converter. Still no idea what's up with Tekken. Incidentally, much as I love Tekken, it's sitting on the bench until I can afford buying the game + classier converter/getting my stick modded.
-
You can try my PS2 converter next time. and if it works ill probably give it to you. I have no use for it anymore.
-
Meeting today?
-
That's what I was wondering too.
Also dippy, how much was the gas money for last weekend?
-
Just in case I forget to ask later; does anyone know a good site/forum for DoA info? The game (or at least Ayane) feels a bit foreign after missing out on a major revision and playing so much Tekken. Also, in the event that anyone else has real interest in picking the game up, singles or doubles?
-
Also dippy, how much was the gas money for last weekend?
Total for all of the gas used comes out to about $100, so just give me $35.
Meeting today?
Sure, especially since I don't think anyone is going to Hazbats.

Check out freestepdodge.com (http://www.freestepdodge.com/) if you want a DoA site. Be careful, as from my experience, the DoA community tends to be a bit... special. As for the game itself, it definitely feels weird, especially after playing so much VF and Tekken; movement seems to be a mile off now.
-
H-F, you left Dark Souls in my car. I'll bring it tomorrow or the next time we meet up if I don't make it.
-
Yeah I had a feeling I left it in your car. :gonk: I'll be there later today around 3-ish as per what we discussed last night if you'll be there.
dippy I forgot to give you the cash but I'll have it with me when I arrive later so that won't be an issue.
Tempered are you Korean yet? :psyduck:
-
Taking a real look at all the changes to DoA, I gotta ask: when did this game stop being primarily for casual fun?
In other news, another infinite discovered in Mahvel :toot: Seriously, why do people play that trash?
Edit: More games need to incorporate frame data displays; DoA's training mode is going to spoil me.
-
GUTS DoA team finals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpNtq8vMqX0&feature=relmfu); this was actually pretty hype.
-
Edit: More games need to incorporate frame data displays; DoA's training mode is going to spoil me.
Play VF! :V
-
DoA5 has VF characters; two birds, one stone! :nyoro:
-
New TTT2 patch is nice. New characters and stages, Kuni's hitboxes fixed, and other stuff, but most importantly, almost NO loading time when selecting costumes. Need to finally dabble with other characters, so I'll try out Miharu. Hoping to find a certain move in her command list. :psyduck:
-
Couldn't you find it in Ling's? :V If Violet was released, let me know if he has the double jf Acid Rain (-> 3:3:3) again.
-
Unfortunately Violet wasn't released just yet so he'll probably be in the next batch. That was going to be the first thing I tested. lol
-
For Carlos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApAnlT2OPlk
Violet does have double jf Acid Rain, and it's tag bufferable too! It's #29 in the movelist. Dunno when he and the rest of the characters will be released though.
My goal with Miharu is to land as many d+4 (vs grounded) as possible. But uh....how do I use all these stances? :psyduck: lol
Also thanks for the email dippy. There's just a slight problem though. The fair is from 4pm-7pm and I'm at work until 6pm. So I'd be cutting it real close. It's been a while since I've been to a job fair so this may sound like a dumb question, but typical attire is suit and tie?
-
OHMYFUCKINGGOD YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally called that shit! Fuck Lee, maining Violet. Also hunting down a copy of T4 to practice Acid Rain again. H-F, you made my night, which is quite the accomplishment after the trip to Tuscon today.
Also basically confirmed to have a job with B&N; not the best pay and hours until seasonal is over (if I'm kept on), but it'll still feel better than working for Amazon.
Also, for job fairs, you don't need to go full blown suit, but dress slacks with a good button-down shirt + tie is definitely the minimal requirement if you want to be taken seriously.
Also also, Ruben may be interested in stopping by to study under Dippy's Kokoro tutelage today (Sat) if he has time and you guys are up for hosting.
-
For the job fair, I would say that business casual is the expectation; I'll see if I can an answer from someone at work.
Hosting? Today? Sure. If Ruben wants to come through, that's fine too.
(What is with the interest in DoA5, though...)
-
DoA5 possibly overtaking AquaPazza in numbers here in AZ? lol I dunno. Also, what do I think of AquaPazza? :mystery:
That 3 setups thing we had going last time was great. It'll come in real handy again if we have more visitors aside from the usual. Just to make sure, we have enough power cables for PS3s right? :-\
-
I was considering showing up today as well, but I'm not sure I want to distract from the DoA/Aquapazza hype with P4A. :P
-
If we follow the plan that was enacted last week, we'll have 3 setups to split between P4A, TTT2, VF, DoA, and AP. P4A is one of the games that the majority play, so it'll probably have a dedicated setup while everything else is juggled around what people want to play.
-

Well I'll bring my psp charger cable just in case.
-
Sounds good then. I'll stop by.
Out of curiosity, is MB pretty much dead in AZ?
-
Well we're just not playing it anymore, but I suppose that doesn't mean we'll never go back and play it.
GGs last night guys, the late night matches were pretty funny.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to explain myself over something like this, but I feel it needs to be addressed because there were some very questionable things that were mentioned last night.
I.......I.......can't hide it anymore....my anime levels are slightly higher than average.
.....
But they're still less than all of you guys. :laffo:
Oh and for the record, I landed 11 d+4 (vs grounded) with Miharu.
Also, dippy did you confirm what dress attire would be for the job fair? My guess is dress shirt and tie + dress slacks. I should probably bring a copy of my resume too. And yeah, I get off at 6, the only thing that would prevent me from attending, is if I get stuck on a really dumb call at the end of my shift. If I get out past 6:30 that won't be enough time for me to get down there, look around and actually talk to the recruiters. :-\
Also Tempered can you send me the link to the Xiaoyu/Miharu throw followup video through AIM?
-
I will turn you guys into pros at breaking Alisa's uf 1+2.
-
Please do
I.......I.......can't hide it anymore....my anime levels are slightly higher than average.
We knew this already.
Also playing around with Devil Jin some. He has 3 ring circus :V.
-
Hey as long as you all agree with the slightly part nobody will get wrecked, too hard.
And 3 ring circus? Do they actually call it that in the command list? Haven't seen that in years. lol
-
Yeah its called 3 ring circus in the command list. I dont think i ever see anyone use it though. Havent watched too many devil jin vids yet.
-
Welp, blazing kick into mist trap still works, lol.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV-20V8x12A#t=50s fair.
also what is this trap?
-
Welp, blazing kick into mist trap still works, lol.
Do you finally have a copy?
Mist Trap is Lee's hit throw that works on both block and hit.
Also, I got front page'd on SRK again. oh god lol
-
also what is this trap?
Lee's d, db 4 into 3~3:4.
Do you finally have a copy?
I found a used one at GS and saved somewhere around 20~25% off it; figured I could take the hit. I haven't tried the online pass (probably already used), but I don't have much interest in netplay on this right now anyway.
-
Welp, blazing kick into mist trap still works, lol.

lol I haven't done much online play either but I figured it's the best way to grind fight money if I really wanted to. Otherwise I'd just do ghost mode again. :| Did you manage to cop that converter you were keeping tabs on?
Yeah a little while ago lol. makes me want to do a CMV or something. I dont know enough about the game though. it'd just be stuff.
I think it was a few days back. Yeah Tekken is very popular for CMVs. New ones come out on a near daily basis. A lot of them are pretty crazy too. :| I've got another one coming up and thankfully no one has done it yet either. If someone beats me to it I'm canning the project.
I was thinking, maybe we should start a team on World Tekken Federation? lol
-
Nah, missed it by one bid. It's not too big a deal since I played Tekken on pad up until 5 came out, though throwing Asuka in the mix forces me to do a lot of hand shuffling, as I had to do with Jun in Tag 1 due to needing different grips for the Kazamas.
-
So I was doing...oh...everything wrong (big surprise :V). Habits need breaking, things need optimizing. Asuka/Alisa hit like 80-100+ damage off almost every launcher without wall extensions, so this doesn't seem to be too bad of a team damage-wise (at least compared to the people I've heard struggling to break 90 consistently). Apparently lame as fuck though, with both being slippery bitches. Asuka's 3~4+db sweep feint is dirty.
Lee's going on the backburner until Violet is released. I already started working on his real shit, but only Acid Rain can make up for the loss of swag that comes with this game not having a decent tux for the man. What really gets to me is that two of his portraits show him in tuxes that don't make it look like he's wearing football gear under them.
-
Which one of you poor unfortunate souls is going to get hit by the true H-F Special? (aka the business) Don't ask what it is, you'll know when it hits you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEUwTy8tLWY Lee's tux did look more in proportion with his character model back in T6. lol Kinda funny how in Tag 2 all the male characters with suits/tuxes have ones that are proportionate to their character models except for him. :|
-
I feel I should write to them so they can address this horrendous flaw with Lee's wardrobe.
I'm not sure if the Fight Lab thing is the greatest thing I've seen in a Tekken game, or the worst. And I'm not talking from a balance perspective, because that's obviously busted.
-
some persona for a change.

Yay impracticle smp loops
-
Oh right, we (claim to) play that game. Way too much time shoved into Tekken this week. Customization too (I don't know how much time I spent in there playing with/checking options...), though some of those...things...sway between nauseating and rage-inducing. I actually did more than a simple color swap for Asuka and Alisa; pity it's impossible to get them to match without screwing up the character aesthetics (I am probably one of three people to genuinely care about this). Also in the market for a partner for
Lee Violet, but I'll worry about that when more word on the next round of DLC is announced.
-
I have a wedding to attend tomorrow (not my own), but if people would like to meet on Sunday, I should be back for an afternoon~evening meetup.
-
I think I'll be available for Sunday. Funny how you have to make the distinction that the wedding isn't yours, I remember doing that a while back. lol
I'll meet up with the other guys if they're down for that, and we'll do the usual. lol I'm out of practice for Persona so I might do a little of that. :-\
Also, there's no avoiding it. LOTS of time gets lost spent in Customize mode. Probably even moreso now that loading times were addressed with customizations.
Also, a partner for Lee Violet? I dunno, maybe Steve? lol I want dat Steve vs P. Jack runback. :bricks:
I declare that Hall of Judgement be our official stage. Those statues feed off our anger. :psyduck:
I need to run through command training with Miharu again. Too many moves. :psyduck: Need to find better TA combos too. What's kind of annoying is how combos will drop if you're slightly off axis to one side, sometimes both sides of the opponent.
-
Steve, eh? I guess he's an option since I liked pushing buttons with him in T4.
I was considering Nina since she can apparently do everything, though I'd probably focus on the weaker aspects of her game (those amazing(ly bad) grabs).
I was also kinda thinking about Lili since she's a good match personality/style-wise (these things are important!), but I'd probably be tempted to pair her up with Asuka for comedic effect, and I'd hate to split Alisa/Asuka since the two seem to set up each others shit better than the other characters I've experimented with, though that may be more due to the amount of time I've put into exploring their options. I know Lee/Alisa is a functional team, but it seems like they require a wall to reach the damage Alisa/Asuka can do without one (3/5 of Alisa's functional launchers set up beautifully for pain from Asuka; Lee only has one that I've seen do this (amazingly enough, not BK), but for around 15-20 less damage); that doesn't sit well with me since walls won't necessarily always be an option, and I like the idea of having more stable damage output if possible.
Last choice I've been entertaining is Marilyn Manson Dragunov, but that's mostly because I'm amused at the fact that he resembles Marilyn, and I'm curious to see how well they implemented sambo in this. I know jack shit about him otherwise since I've been spending time reviewing other characters, and the last Tekken I can really claim to have played was 5.

TA fillers with Miharu? F+2 1 4 is the go to unless you do a super long combo before hand. Which I guess is possible with both Law and Jun :V . This issue is why I play Xiaoyu over Miharu. b+4 4 may not do alot of damage but it helps for wall carry. I would think something like BT 4 or UF+3+4 to send them flying with miharu.
I havent spent too much time in customize mode. I think the Mishimas look best at default. Shirts off and all (mad homo).
And we can meetup Sunday. Saturday people can come over if they feel like it as well.
-
Steve, eh? I guess he's an option since I liked pushing buttons with him in T4.
I was considering Nina since she can apparently do everything, though I'd probably focus on the weaker aspects of her game (those amazing(ly bad) grabs).
I was also kinda thinking about Lili since she's a good match personality/style-wise (these things are important!), but I'd probably be tempted to pair her up with Asuka for comedic effect, and I'd hate to split Alisa/Asuka since the two seem to set up each others shit better than the other characters I've experimented with, though that may be more due to the amount of time I've put into exploring their options. I know Lee/Alisa is a functional team, but it seems like they require a wall to reach the damage Alisa/Asuka can do without one (3/5 of Alisa's functional launchers set up beautifully for pain from Asuka; Lee only has one that I've seen do this (amazingly enough, not BK), but for around 15-20 less damage); that doesn't sit well with me since walls won't necessarily always be an option, and I like the idea of having more stable damage output if possible.

Steve and Nina are obviously both very good characters. So you can't really go wrong with either. But with Steve you can hit all the buttons you want considering his moveset. CH b+1 with him is really buff with him iirc.
I'd say an average TA combo without walls does anywhere between 80-90 (if we're talking generic launchers like d/f+2 and hop kick) and good ones do 90+ if you use counter hit launchers and/or heavier hitting ones. TA combos in general tend to add an extra 10-20 damage, more if walls are involved.
I suppose the fun thing about Tag 2 is that although team synergy/chemistry is important, you have more freedom than the Marvel games where some characters are practically useless without certain assists. What I like so much about the Laws (aside from having the coolest idle stances in the game, also not on the same team obviously) is their solo damage is good making them great at draining red health, plus they have tons of tag bufferable launchers, so they can work with a lot of characters too.
Also, Dragunov (aka Dragnov in T6, lol typos). Yeah he was introduced in T5 DR which was the title update for T5. I guess he has the moves a typical Sambo fighter would have. I also think he's the only human character that doesn't actually talk either. lol Speaking of him, I remember when we were messing around in training mode a little last week, the random select gave the dummy team Panda and Dragunov. Pretty random team. "HEY GAIZ!!! I play Panda and Dragunov!"
TA fillers with Miharu? F+2 1 4 is the go to unless you do a super long combo before hand. Which I guess is possible with both Law and Jun :V . This issue is why I play Xiaoyu over Miharu. b+4 4 may not do alot of damage but it helps for wall carry. I would think something like BT 4 or UF+3+4 to send them flying with miharu.

Yeah, f+2,1,4 is the most stable TA filler I've seen. It's a bit easier to adjust to cutting combos short with the Laws than with Jun because Jun's combo fillers are those long strings that you see me doing and it's tricky to cut those short when the strings aren't just a bunch of dash jabs. I like PHX u/f+3,3 a lot. The problem is the timing is so janked and being slightly off axis can throw it off entirely. And yeah, Xiaoyu's b+4,4 is a better tool than Miharu's b+4 since it has much more utility. What I've been able to do as Miharu for TA is b+3+4 (enter RDS) then 2,1,4. Seems really good because it puts them in that "burger flip" state as I like to call it (dunno if there's a community term for that kind of air hit) and those are generally good TA moves as well since they send them flying really high and amazing for wall carry.
I'll probably see you guys later today, and again tomorrow. :V
-
What's a Tekken? D:
Come by today, tomorrow, whatever. I do have a online tournament for VF scheduled for tonight, for what that's worth. H-F, don't forget about the $40 you owe me.
-
VF online tourney tonight? Did they change the dates?
Also I haven't forgotten about that $40. :V That should be my price of admission later today. :|
And holy shit that was a long post of mine. lol
-
So what time to people want to come over today (sunday.) Probably want an earlier start since HF has work.
-
I'll try to be there around 3-ish.
-
Final round double KO vs the CPU is still a loss.
I like how they went back and gave Steve multiple 10-strings, like there isn't enough useless shit to memorize in the series as it is. I also like how the AI uses them as you climb in rank; good to know I'll learn where the lows are in the ones I haven't memorized yet :V
There's something about this game's command interpreter that seems odd, or maybe the input buffer varies in window depending on circumstance; I randomly get Alisa's f+1+2 instead of ff+1+2, usually in wallsplat situations. Wallsplats in general seem like they might require in-depth study; doing anything beyond simple followups seems really inconsistent (maybe a wallsplat height/timing thing? miniscule differences in attack/wallsplat angle?), even when repeating the same strings. Also, hitboxes; I've been on both ends of stupid shit, the highlight being barely nailing someone who was tagging out with Asuka's 1,3, and having the low connect when there was a huge gap between Asuka's leg and closest part of the opponent's body. It wasn't even a fat/big guy.
I've decided to go with team flower-power (Violet/Lili) for my alt team once the next round of DLC characters are released (easier to take than team LiLee :emo: also, Acid Rain). I don't like how Marilyn moves, I'd just spam chain grabs with Nina and stupid shit like Gatling Gun with Steve, and the grace/arrogance built into Lili's moves is just too good of a partner for Lee's swag. Those two are way too classy.
I feel like I should make an effort to play more DoA on the side; need a lot of work there, too. My motivation for P4A has been circling the drain the last couple weeks. These 3D fighters are just too much.
-
GGs in Tag 2 the other night.
What would our team name be if we started one? lol
Also, since when is final round double KO vs the AI NOT a loss? I can't remember the last game that did otherwise if there were any.
Would anyone be up for netplay matches? I recently played a friend from back home (SoCal) and the connection was really good with minimal hiccups. I was able to land most of my usual combos. I played about 20 matches with him but past a certain point I stopped getting lucky boxes. So I only made like 2 million over the course of the session. :-\
And yeah, regarding P4A, I kinda feel the same way. Then again, so have other people too. 3D fighters require quite a bit of time to get even decent at them. And last weekend dippy and I had played VF when the last time was about a couple weeks back.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwA5ootjAbY
I need to find a way to land the combo at 1:00:20. What's rage again? :psyduck:
Still don't fully understand how to use custom decals. I can't find a way to place an emblem on the character's back while it's right side up. :| But other than that I'm trying to design the costumes for my main team have a theme to them.
Also I might not be available Saturday so would people be ok with Sunday this week? I should know by either tomorrow night or early Saturday.
-
Sat/Sun makes no difference to me, I'll have to bail by 1am either way due to morning engagements on Sun/Mon.
To get decals correctly on a characters' back, rotate them around the x-axis, not the y. At least I think that's how it goes. I remember having that problem at first, too. Just play with it a little more; it's definitely possible.
-
See you guys later today?
-
Whenever. If you can make it we can host today. If you guys want to come over tommorow (sunday) thats fine as well.

You guys want to help me with yard work? :bricks:
Beyond that, yeah I don't really care either.
-
You guys want to help me with yard work? :bricks:

Im suprised your not yelling at me to Help. (shit im giving him ideas, now he'll make me do it all myself.)
-
You guys want to help me with yard work? :bricks:
Speaking of yard work, there are some weeds growing in my front yard. bleh :gonk:
I'll be available tomorrow as well. Just don't have anything to do tonight. Leaving soon.
-
See you guys later today? I left my PS3 there. :V Obviously I won't be staying nearly as late because I have work tomorrow, and I have to stop by the airport before I start.
-
I guess I can make it.
-
only if you want to.

Alright guys, semi-long post, possibly coming up. So don't read it unless you're really bored.
GGs in Tag 2 once again as always. I'm not gonna lie though there's some bullshit that happened that shouldn't have happened, and we were all on the receiving end of it at one point or another, multiple times even. I still get the impression that people do get upset at fighting against me, and I can't say I blame them. I regret to admit that I'm someone who has spent a little too much time with the combo theory for the game. I can understand that and it can make things pretty ridiculous and at times, as well as unfun when you're losing over half your life from a single launcher and if you're at the wall, a bullshit mixup attempt that could end the round if you twitch the wrong way. But at the same time my punish game has suffered. Numerous times I fail to punish Asuka's Demon Slayer (-20) properly and blocked 2,3 (-18), all of which can be punished pretty big by the characters I play. Here's a tip: the Laws' WS+2 (huge uppercut) is -18 so have at it. But anyway, maybe I'm being too much of a try-hard? At heart I'm playing for fun since I have a history with the series and I get the most enjoyment out of exploring the combos (I've put together a few videos). I've tried to be helpful, and I may not know the most about everyone else's characters, but I've given hints on what to look for when fighting the characters I use. Not many people do that really. But you gotta do so to help the rest of your circle improve.
And dippy I agree with what you said earlier, that you just need to chill out when playing Tag 2. We all know that there's A LOT that needs to be learned, and you even know that you don't really have the time or feel like putting in the time to learn all of that stuff (strings, block punishment, etc.). So as such, try to approach it differently and the game might be more enjoyable. Like for example, myself and P4A. I don't think the game is bad, but it does get tiring kinda quickly due to its simplistic nature. With P4A, I kinda felt the same way you do about Tag 2. It's pretty clear that I played the game for fun, and that I never really put in the extensive amount of time to improve at the game. Consequently, when I lost matches or when I just got outright stomped, I never really felt bad about it, because I just had a completely different mindset about it. I suppose if you enjoy anything about Tag 2, then that's enough reason to play it. Just try to have fun. And as always GGs in VF. It's pretty clear that VF is much less stressful to play than Tag 2, or any other Bamco fighter really. And we already know why.
Hopefully I'm not killing the game for you guys.
/semi-serious post
Onto some other stuff...
I was thinking of the discussion about how within our own little circle, we are somewhat "divided." Tag 2 is the game that we're all playing right now, but there are other games that only a select few of us will play against each other:
dippy and I are the only ones who will play VF.
dippy and Carlos are the only ones who will play DOA.
dippy and Tempered are the only ones who will play AquaPazza (well, at least until I have the drive to try it out again or until I finally enter scene killer mode. But what do I truly think of the game? :mystery:)
Carlos and Tempered play P4A (at least until I jump in again)
There is no game in recent time that only Tempered and I play. AH3 would be the most recent one (Double Dragon doesn't really count lol) but that's that.
Ruben is supposedly going to be running DOA sessions? Do him or any other guys happen to play Tag 2 as well? I'd like to play other people too and I don't think any of us would mind getting some other competition.
It was pretty amusing seeing/hearing Carlos play VF. I applaud you for finally giving the game a shot and I liked hearing your reactions to some of the characters and their moves, namely Lei-Fei's double front flip. lol
Regarding Chaos Code, Cerberus does look like the kind of character I'd play, mainly for Melty style mechanics. The dude can combo INTO his air throw, and OUT of his air throw. :laffo: And he's got some pretty decent air movement, with a dive kick to boot as well (no pun intended). Nevermind the trench coat, guns + swords, and Dante/Vergil color schemes. Those are just....there. :| But what's so bad if I said I kinda wanted to play Celia too (not the number II)? :-\ I mean, she does look like a dippy character (aesthetically), but I said that I just like the whip loop that she had. Then I said that I kinda like her voice and Carlos was all flipping out, rather getting pretty worried. I never said it was the reason I would play her, just something I liked about the character. What's wrong with it? :psyduck:
-
It gets a bit frustrating to play against you in games, H-F, but that's primarily due to the fact that you have more solid fundamentals; I'll never really bitch though, because I'll be the first to admit that I haven't really put a whole lot of time into working on it. I also get lazy and play way too much off instinct and generally doing stuff that feels like it might be a good idea, or just plain amuses me. The latter takes precedence more often than it should.
Regarding Tekken, the only thing I particularly dislike is that Law's damage feels kind of high for random hits (not exclusive to Law, but nobody else really capitalizes on that kind of thing yet), but I won't bitch much on that account either because there's a ton of crap I need to (re)learn seeing as the last time I really touched the series was 4 (and playing Lee in 4 was very different from playing Asuka or Alisa), and I'll admit that I haven't gone into training mode to look into getting out of/around strings (OD'ing on combo theory instead of the important stuff :toot:). Also, getting hit by highs/mids while holding back; not really sure what happened on those occasions, but that's pretty irritating. I also wish the game had more detailed information displays since concrete information online is sporadic at best (at least on TZ).
Don't worry about killing the game for me; I'm not really expecting to do particularly well at this point. For now, I'm happy with pushing close/taking rounds when I can. I do okay-ish with Alisa at times, but I know there's more I need to work into there. Asuka is a character that generally requires you to really know your opponent's options to do well (slippery due to lots of high/low crush), but seeing as I haven't worked much on that knowledge yet... :V It's a work in progress, impeded by being easily distracted by other things.
Ruben was messing around with Tekken the last time he hosted; I don't know how srs he is about it. I know a couple of the other guys were pushing buttons with it, too; but same story as Ruben. I can ask about that though; certainly wouldn't hurt to have greater player/character diversity in the group. ...Now watch as everyone plays a Mishima, Law, Xiaoyu/Miharu, Alisa, and Jun/Asuka.
P4A has been losing my attention lately because I've been presented with shinier, more complicated toys. I've also come to dislike some of the decision-making that went into the game, but that's a longer discussion than I have consciousness for right now.
Also, Shaolin Monk: Spinnin' Rims. C'mon, there's no way that shit isn't hype.

Another late night post. And probably another lengthy one too. :gonk:
Regarding damage, you're right in saying the Laws aren't necessarily the only ones with high damage. Every character has ways to deal their damage, and for them, most of it comes from their obscenely risky counter hit launchers, sans their magic 4. Tag 2 in general is a very high damage game which means the lifebars are made of paper. This is largely do in part to the rage system, where imo, it's more crazy than it was in T6BR. In this game, rage comes multiple times per round, and unless you can score a clean launch to punish an incoming raged character, it slows down the pace of the game a bit which is pretty meh because you're just trying to wait for that rage to expire. Honestly if it were up to me, I'd just take rage out of the game. I've never liked comeback mechanics before and I still don't like them even now. I can never conceivably argue for rewarding a player for being sloppy. But I digress.
The game could definitely use more detailed information displays. I mean it's already a huge step up on T6 (not hard, T6 training mode was just ballsacks), but with THIS many characters in the game, an in-game frame data display goes a long way and would help even the newcomers. VF has this and so does DOA5. DOA5 is well ahead of Tag 2 in that regard. I agree that finding information is sporadic at best, because TZ is basically the dustloop for Tekken which is both a good and bad thing. It also depends on what characters you play. For example, the Forest section has only 6 threads, and those are the only 6 threads you should ever need for ANY character unless there's just something so complicated or pressing about that character that warrants its own thread. The Jun section on the other hand is an eyesore. There's like 15 threads and about 1/3 of them are locked. iirc there are TWO combo threads as well which is just wtf. Doesn't help that a lot of the posts in those threads, especially the longer ones, don't use formatting that would be easy on the eyes. Then there are people who are just not notating things properly. Thankfully I had enough motivation to explore her combo theory on my own and go from there, with good results.
Also, the more I look at the guide the more it makes me frown. It's very general for the most part, but what irks me the most is its poor organization. I honestly don't know why they thought organizing the guide by author rather than character names in alphabetical order was a good idea. I know the authors deserve their credit, so just give them their own special section at the BEGINNING or END of the guide so that it doesn't interfere with the meat and potatoes, ie. the character sections. The fact that it also carries over to the frame data is just as bad. The frame data is incomplete too since there are plenty of other moves than those found in the command lists. Besides, I'm mainly looking for the frames on the first or second hits of the string, not just the last. Tekken has usually been a game where finishing strings is generally a bad idea which is usually why they're cut short or cancelled into something. So it's just annoying. I keep thinking I should pick up the guide, but I look at it every time we have a session so it just feels unnecessary. I know comprehensive frame data for Tag 2 would most likely double or triple the size of the guide considering the number of characters, but if they adopted community notations for the attack inputs, it wouldn't be so bad. Those button icons are larger than they should be. Future Press deserves a lot of credit for the SC5 guide as it had comprehensive frame data. It's just unfortunate that the team is no longer updating the game nor does it sounds like they have any plans to do so. :-\
I feel like this needs to be addressed, and that is, getting up from a knockdown. I feel like everyone is too hasty when trying to get up from a knockdown which leads to a pickup into another combo. I think I get away with this too often. You may or may not have seen it but Aris has a tutorial about getting up from knockdown on his YT channel (avoidingthepuddle). It's not comprehensive but it at least explains the different type of knockdown positions and what you can do from each of them. When fighting against the Laws, it is EXTREMELY important that you try not to get up in place or roll away from them too quickly when they have you either in the face up-feet away or face down-feet towards position. Trying to stand straight up or roll away from them will oftentimes result in eating a Junkyard (3-hit launcher) while back turned and the combo they get off it results in 120+ SOLO damage. Not the kind of numbers you want to be messing with because you got impatient and tried to get up incorrectly. God forbid they have rage, a wall nearby, and/or decide to throw in a Tag Assault for icing on the cake. If 2 of those 3 conditions are met, it could possibly just kill a character outright depending on how much damage they took prior to getting knocked down. This is moreso something to look out for against Marshall since he has better throw oki. So I just wanted to point that out since I feel like I get away with it too often and it's something even I would be annoyed to get hit by.
As for the other guys who might play Tag 2, I agree it would be nice to have others to play against outside our usual circle. Variety is the spice of life, but considering our level of play, there's the possibility they'd play those characters you listed, with a higher chance of the Kazamas (minus Jin) and the Laws, and I'd probably throw Lili into that list as well. I guess it could be a good chance for them to garner a little more interest in the game, but we'll see.
And yeah, about P4A, well I guess I've already expressed my thoughts about it and we probably share more or less the same views on some of the decisions they made with the game. Somehow I feel it was all to be expected though, as strange as that sounds. :-\
Oh man, it's late. Writing stuff like this makes it easier for me to knock out. I actually have to put in a lot of thought when writing up something like this. :| Other people can do it on a whim.
AZ - MBAACC - We come here to talk about other games. :psyduck:

Don't worry about killing games HF. I'm sure most of us here a driven by the fact you constantly beat us. I could go into a tirade about talent and how I just watched an anime that delved into that discussion but that would be retarded. And we all try hard, we all want to win, even if its at casual bullshit fun. But is it casual bullshit fun at that point? who knows. Supposedly we don't care about the game but we care enough to try not to lose to each other and get slightly emotional about it. I kind of share Dippys concern that we might be killing games for you by not presenting a challenge. But then I hear you mumbling in frustration sometimes (mostly over electrics :V) and it goes away.
Regarding the diversity its going to be hard to find a game to center on again. And even if we do some people are going to like it more than others. I mean even though Carlos played melty He yearned for GG/FUC/PS2 AA :nyoro: . I'm a little surprised Carlos hasn't pushed us to play the re release of GG but I guess with him not having a 360 converter he cant play anyways. (iirc its not out on PSN?). I've never been the biggest fan of 3D fighters. As you know I always complain about movement in games. The thing I like about Tekken is that its rather "anime". it has alot of movement and juicy combos. Maybe that says alot about me. Maybe I should get into a slower game (CvS2?) to learn to be more patient and open up my play style. Who knows. Also id be interested in AH3 again since there's going to be a rebalance. But who knows if we'll get it on console. I dropped AH3 because the only character i'm interested in killed the game. Thanks Elsa. I shouldn't say only. But at the time Akane was being played by Andrew. Kind of a stupid reason but meh. Also I still like P4U. I just dont have the drive to practice. Maybe that means I don't like it :mystery:
I've already realized I need to work on getting up from a knockdown. I still expect tekken to respond like an anime fighter so I end up try to "queue" stuff up and it doesn't like that. Its also a problem of timing but that just comes with... time.
Id be willing to try and get more people in but i'm content with our little circle. Since there's no central game I just look forward to bullshitting in some game and talking about stupid stuff :/. I'd go places but I don't want to have to drag dippy around, take the bus, or pay Carlos to drive me around (yet).
-
Stop being so good, HF.
Jeez.
-
SC5 is done at this point. Between the game being virtually abandoned, bugs and glitches that were never fixed, and issues with Namco dishing out prize money at a sponsored event...yeah, game's dead. Pity, too, because it was a lot of fun and could've been so much better with a bit of support.
Alisa/Asuka forums are the opposite of what I'd have expected. Asuka has 14 threads, the bulk of which seem pretty useless; Alisa has 7, most of which are clean enough to navigate efficiently, or present the important material at the beginning without having to dig through 10 pages of nonsense. Then again, the bulk of Alisa's game is poke with a select few moves 75% of the time (or more), so I guess it makes some kind of sense. I am still waiting for Violet :| The staggering amount of things that you probably want to know for TTT2 coupled with how much of a bitch it can be to find fairly important information makes me a bit disinclined to take the game too seriously. I don't mind doing homework, but when the answers to the questions seem to be I-No's info page in GGXX's story mode (UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN!), it makes it a bit difficult to be motivated at 100%. Especially when I can boot up DoA and learn just about everything I could possibly want to know with a few minor menu tweaks, in a game that plays more at my preferred pacing. DoA being genuinely better than Tekken in anything except fanservice...I never thought I'd see the day :slowpoke: And I can't even play it off as a trivial thing because making information readily available like that is huge for fighters.
Ruben isn't too interested in Tekken because most of the other people that were playing it don't really play it. Seems the only 3D fighter he has (semi?)dedicated friends for is DoA.
Regarding GG; I'm actually a little on the fence on whether or not I want to really play again until +R's release. My main is getting majorly overhauled (FRC timings being shifted, too), so the bulk of what I could practice wouldn't apply. I suppose it might be worth it to really learn crow patterns, but that's just memorization that I don't even need to play the game for. I love the game, but I really want to play around with those changes. Especially with how easy it is for Testament to get a bit stale in AC.
I want to like AH3, especially with a balance patch+tweaks, but the rational part of my mind says it's a waste of time given the game is doomed to obscurity here by its aesthetics (lots of little girl characters means there are a lot of people who will never touch it; not good for a game's lifespan). If the things that irritated me before are fixed/toned down, I'll probably be more interested. I'd take it over AP any day though, but that's not saying much.
-
A Numakie has appeared. What brings you into the desert today? You must have been really bored to wander in here. :psyduck:
You can't really kill games for me due to not presenting a challenge. It's moreso if there's nobody to play X game more than anything. Fighting games aren't meant to be played solo after all. And yeah, electrics still get to me at times. Normal hit launchers that are plus on block. I can't think of any other moves that are launchers on normal hit and plus on block. The closest thing I can remember is Bryan's b+1 back in T5.0, and while it was slower than an electric, it had good reach and hit mid. But T5.0 was pretty lolz as time went on.
Regarding GGAC+, yeah it's not out on PSN yet. The Nov. 1st release date was for Japan only. Not sure when we're going to get it. I'll definitely be picking it up so I can just fiddle around in training mode here and there to re-acquaint myself with the game. But I feel like it's going to be a while before I can start playing matches again with the 3D games we've been playing.
And CvS2...do you really want to be painting fences? :V As for a slower paced game to get into that required lots of patience, I do recall one that is slower paced than others in its category, and it taught good habits and how to get rid of bad ones. I believe it was called..........VF. :psyduck:
As for AH3LM, updates and balance fixes are always welcome. You can expect that 2 frame suki bullshit to get axed. Then there's the issue of tweaking arcanas and the top tiers. Good to know they haven't forgotten about the game and didn't decide to just announce AH4 or whatever else. A console release is extremely sketchy and I wouldn't really count on it right now because it's going to be so far off anyway and lots of other games coming out between now and then.
Going back to P4A, I think that really sums it up. We like the game, but have little incentive to improve at it or continue practicing for one reason or another.
The list I posted earlier basically sums up who's willing to play what game with whoever else. Tag 2 isn't really our central game, but it happens to be the one that we're all playing right now. More than likely when something else comes up that we all have at least some interest in, we'll move onto that. I'd still say I'd be up for some Tag 2 even then. Depending on how much more dlc is going to be released, there could be a reason to go back to it. The dlc is spaced out intentionally to keep the game fresh. We really haven't had a central focus since PS2 MBAA. I personally wouldn't mind playing it again at some point, but at the same time, it just doesn't feel right knowing that it's not the latest version. 1.07 isn't unplayable but being a pc port sucks, and some of the choices they made for it are just so bleh. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind going back and playing some T6. Hell, I barely got to play that game with anyone. :gonk: But old game is old, and Tag 2 is the new standard.
I don't mind having a small circle, but I still believe it doesn't hurt to know what other people are playing. If they happen to be playing the same titles, why not get in on the action?
-
Its more that I don't feel the need to practice P4U. its just matchups and training mode isn't going to help with that. I've practiced Melty more than P4U since its released.
-
Well, in general fighting games are really about the matchups. You have to know them to succeed, there's no way around it. I guess this all kinda ties in to Tag 2 as well. The game not only requires you to know your character(s) very well but also the opponent's. It's not as easy to punish in a 3D game due to the sheer number of moves each character has and the punishes are not nearly as obvious due to the different blockstun animations. Then you have certain strings where you can duck in between moves and then punish. I guess that's why the game can also be a turnoff. You're not just learning your own characters, you're practically learning everyone else's too. And with this many characters, and not having a realtime frame data display, it feels like it's a lot more work than it should be. But I guess we may have been spoiled by the fact that we get in-game frame data at all. Frame data, in general, was hard to come by unless you had the mook for those games. What's kinda surprising, is that TZ actually has complete frame data for TTT1 and T4, but nothing else.
I'm not surprised the Asuka section of TZ is filled with clutter just like Jun's. To say that many people play that team is an understatement. I know we've discussed this before but I feel like I need to put it in writing just because. Playing two characters with near identical movesets is a double-edged sword, one that does more harm than good imo. It irks me how the guide says X character is a good complement for Y character of similar fighting style. You can't really be a good complement if your strengths and weaknesses are almost identical. Yes, you don't have to significantly change up your gameplan when switching to that other character, but at the same time, neither does the opponent. I think the only thing that a similar character complements is the player's ineptitude at being able to play another character. But that's just me.
I get the feeling that the next game we'd all end up playing down the road is Chaos Code. We all have at least some interest in playing it. I still stand by what I said about my character selection. :|
I'll see you guys later today.
On a side note, Azure Wanderings is NOT moe. I'm willing to bet people just looked at my user icon, assumed it was me, and clicked re-tweet. People still actually do that. wtf

This is about as true as me not being an honest-to-God giant pervert. :V

Oh come on, your custom costumes disagree. As do the rest of us. :V
If my evaluation said tsundere instead of moe, I'd have agreed because I feel that way towards some things. But I'm just going to leave it at that. :bricks:

Man, all the talk about T6 kinda made me wanna play it again. Like I said earlier I didn't really get to play it much against anyone so I was relegated to dabbling with characters in training mode for the most part. But there are things I liked in T6 more than I do in Tag 2: more varied stage design, rage is easier to work around, more robust customization system, replay saves,
my main is top tier/possibly top 3. I can bring my copy and I suppose we could scrub around with it for a little bit. I'm not keen on just going at it 1v1 in Tag 2 because rage is likely to come twice per round. I also remembered Tempered said he wouldn't play Xiaoyu in T6. lol Only problem I have is, the majority of the characters I play in Tag 2 aren't in T6. :-\
"Why did YOU choose Jun, H-F?" :mystery:
Since we're on a 3D fighting game binge right now, a challenge has been set forth: I'll try to learn DOA and Carlos will try learning VF. When starting my venture, I've chosen to avoid Pai (for now at least) for several reasons: 1) I already play her character in VF, which means the learning curve is lowered since I wouldn't have to learn a movelist from scratch. So that would be a copout. 2) It doesn't feel right to play a VF character in DOA (starting out). 3) I feel like it would be easier to learn the DOA engine with a DOA character, and using Pai would create a mental block because I'd be too caught up trying to think too much in VF terms. I suppose once I get a feel for the engine as a whole (and haven't given up by that time), I'll start using her.
Sooooooo...my character of choice for this venture is Kasumi. :V I'd play Hayabusa for his OG Ninja Gaiden costume, but I can't get over the fact that he can't use his sword, and that's the Hayabusa I grew up with. Yeah his costume is blue, but so is hers. And besides, who plays DOA for the guys? :psyduck:
I'll see you guys again later today. May try to get there a little earlier so I can leave earlier as well. Work obviously, but I'll be enjoying an extra hour of sleep that morning.
-
If Ryd really is serious about trying to learn VF, I have hours upon hours of tutorial videos for him... just about the general game system. :gonk: There's not nearly as much character-specific stuff though (and that's just as much my fault as anyone else; every time I look at my notes for an Aoi tutorial I go back and forth on planning, it ends up looking like 2+ hours of footage and scares me off.)
I'm not keen on just going at it 1v1 in Tag 2 because rage is likely to come twice per round.
I'm pretty sure rage rules revert to T6's rules in a 1v1 match (remember, there's no life regen and no tag assaults).
-
lol yeah there's HOURS of tutorials for VF, but not so much for character specific stuff. The game has frame data in training mode, but VFDC has complete frame data for the game and you can filter it too so you know what's useful for punishes.
I wasn't aware that rage rules in Tag 2 revert to T6's for 1v1 since I've never done it. lol But one thing I forgot to mention, is that T6's rematch option is INSTANT unlike Tag 2's.
-
GGs in Tag 2 as always. The late night matches were pretty funny. It's always fun to just screw around with random characters or other people's teams (which is what we did) when it's almost the end of the day and we're just winding down. I can honestly say that I was having a good time. I wouldn't mind doing it again, I mean it kinda helps you learn the other character's options in a way. Let's not even begin to count how many fraudulent lows or WR+3's I ate during that session. :V But it's great to just let loose and explore other characters all the while shooting the breeze. A lot of silly stuff will happen, but what can you expect? Sadly I missed the Battle Between the Bears (BBB). I completely reversed their special throw, which goes to show you how much I've played the bears. :| They make great targets for wall combos though. :laffo:
And I got my salty runback match. As P.Jack, use your superior range to keep Steve out of his range so he can't spam his punches. So pro.
I checked the results for Tag 2 at MLG. 2nd place went to the Korean player Help Me, and what was his team of choice? Well, it was none other than......Bruce.....&.......Lee. :psyduck: Corny jokes aside, I see that team being pretty legit. Both characters can wall carry for days.
-
Playing as a character is one of the best ways to learn how to play against said character. Doing virgin team swapping matches probably isn't as good since your game will have a lot of holes (unless it's Alisa or something, in which case db+3, df+4, and b+1 -> WS 1+2/FC 1+2 will take you far) and/or there's a chance you may end up doing terrible things that don't really teach you anything since you'll never see them (half of Alisa's moveset :V)
I also just wanted to address something that Dippy commented on over the weekend: I actually do enjoy playing most fighters regardless of how I'm doing in them. I'm usually difficult to read (as a person, not necessarily with in-game decisions) simply because that's just how I am. If I don't enjoy playing a game (or don't even think I will, like AP), I won't play said game. As for playing against people; the only time I'd dislike playing against someone is if I actively dislike that person (which is actually pretty rare, and it's usually pretty easy to tell if I dislike someone). There are certain characters in games that I dislike playing against, but that has no reflection on the player (with the possible exception of thinking said player is a scumbag on some level for picking characters like that (hi, H-F :V (j/k :nyoro:))).
I don't actually expect to win a whole lot in games that I haven't put real time into when playing against people who have played more and/or have stronger fundamentals, and there are only 3, maybe 4 games that I can honestly say I ever made a serious effort (read: actually put in semi-crazy amounts of research/practice) to learn: SSBM, SC2, GG, and MBAA. Melee and SC2 were learned up in AK, and only Melee had a single skilled player to throw down with, so what I was able to learn there was kind of sketchy at best (though I was told my Samus was fairly solid~goodish, albeit archaic). GG is mostly the AZ community, and MBAA is...you guys. Honestly speaking, I was/am pretty happy with the overall progress I made with MB; that I was able to give a fair amount of people whom I really had no business beating (guys who'd put a lot more time into the game, were more familiar with it overall, had more solid matchup exp, etc.) a run for there money was kind of surprising for me, and I really have no complaints about that. /tangent
On a more relevant note, I'll probably pick up VF sometime this weekend after I get paid. If you guys want to link worthwhile tutorial vids and whatnot, I'll probably make an effort to start getting into that this week in preparation for the actual game. I'm not completely sold on any particular character yet, but S.Rims is currently the top contender unless I find someone I absolutely love.
-
Virgin team swapping? I like the sound of that. lol I know it's not the greatest way to learn how to play against those characters, but you gotta admit, it's kinda fun and a great way to let loose after all the serious matches.
I suppose I'm the same way to an extent. I've always like fighters in general. Granted I do like some more than others. Naturally, if you like a game enough, the inclination is to find more information about it so you can explore and improve. How far you go with it is ultimately up to you. I don't think a game is taken too seriously unless you enter a tourney for it imo, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The games we've been playing recently are ones we haven't invested too much time into more or less. So it wouldn't really be fair to have such high expectations for ourselves. For me, fighters stop being fun/enjoyable when you have no one else to play against.
Oh, and if you wanna talk about scumbags, none of us have taken up the Lars/Leo team yet. :psyduck: Lars was one of the characters I dabbled with back in T6 (I was a training mode warrior) but have zero knowledge about Leo.
Regarding VF, you're pretty lucky that it's $15 on PSN, more if you intend to buy costume packs ($5 per character/ $15 per costume bundle). I'm sure you'd have fun with the costume edit mode, and since the complete bundle is no longer available, I'd suggest waiting until you've fully decided on a character before buying their item pack. dippy and I will probably be on VF again this weekend so you can use that as a chance for a preview I suppose.
I also remember some time ago you asked us who is the "flashiest" character in the game and Tempered and I suggested Lei-Fei (S.Rims) and Brad (Thai boxer). You've already seen S.Rims and I think Brad is one of the character's who you tried out in command training. Brad is all about his style and impressing the ladies, cheesy voice and all. :laffo:
Match vids of above characters:
Lei: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUKB09AMcVU
Brad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdVMqid_gic
May not be the best matches, but they're something. :|
As for VF tutorial vids, here's one that EVERYONE should start with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boM7T3BWewY
Be prepared for one of the longest single segment tutorials for a fighter EVER. It's almost 3 hours long! So you might wanna grab some food while you're at it. I watched in 3 sittings back when it was first released. Thankfully the main sections are time indexed in the description.
virtuafighter.com (aka VFDC) has complete and neatly organized frame data for every character including a very nifty filter option.
On another note, I'm trying to snag a used copy of DOA5, but even used copies still sell for a grip. Maybe it's time I used some of those Amazon gift cards I've stockpiled at work? :psyduck:
-
oh shit what am I doing here :psyduck:
How's life in Arizona?
-
We've moved into the third dimension, as you may have noticed. How's the knee?
-
3d pig disgusting etc etc
Took the cast off yesterday, got a bind for it, started rehabbing, so hopefully it'll be back to normal within a month or so.
I should watch that VF5 beginner's primer. I'm really interested in learning the game but god damn there's so much to grasp just to start off and not having folks around to talk to about it is rough.
-
Yeah, a lot of the tutorial videos are about system mechanics. And that primer video is done well. I just remember the time indexes weren't there when I first watched it. :psyduck: But I watched in hour increments so it wasn't so bad. There is a lot to know about the system but thankfully it makes a lot of sense once you see it in action. VFDC is the best source for info and thankfully they've got frame data for everyone. Granted I wouldn't be surprised if some of the character forums were a bit cluttered.
-
That's the other thing that I'm a bit worried about. With Melty, frame data was important but I could get by at least decently without knowing it, but VF seems almost entirely rooted in knowing frame data - both on your character and the rest of the cast. That's a pretty big barrier to overcome.
I'll definitely be giving it another shot after I get the basics down but I'm not sure I'll ever get to a point that could be considered "good".
-
Not nearly as bad as Tekken due to having a much smaller roster with much more accessible frame data, which makes the whole thing a lot easier to work with.
-
I wouldn't worry about getting "good" at VF when starting out because it's pretty well-established that it's not an easy game to pick up. And while you do need to know frame data for both your character and the rest of the cast, it's not nearly as bad about it as Tekken as Carlos said. The roster is smaller, frame data is more accessible, and hell one of the members of VFDC even uploaded videos for EACH character showing their most commonly used moves and their frame data. So you can apply what frame data you know about your character and use it in the context of the rest of the cast. VF may be difficult to play, but it's not too difficult to understand. It's just a matter of applying all the information you find. Tekken is a much easier game to pick up at lower levels because you can find top 10's, learn some combos here and there, and if you're movement is decent, you already look semi-competent. Which kinda sums up how I play the game, and I think it shows. It's just that when you take it to the higher levels, is where it becomes more difficult because of the lack of frame data, in a game where punishes are so important. Then add on the fact that you have to learn 2 characters (since no one really uses solo anymore) in a game of 60 characters and you've got more work ahead of you than you may think. Oh, and throws are more or less useless at high level too. I think Bamco really needs to do something how about the throw system in their games. Throws are clearly designed to break an opponent's defense but if it's too easy to escape a throw, what's the point? They oftentimes put you at disadvantage too.
And regarding Melty, I'll admit that I studied NO frame data whatsoever. Maybe for a few moves here and there, but I never did anything too in-depth with it. I feel in 2D games, it's a lot easier to grasp what moves are punishable simply because there are much fewer moves by comparison. Bottom line, if something is punishable by 2A or some equivalent, the move is deemed unsafe and you can work on optimizing damage from there. No need to learn a dozen different punishes for certain moves and all that really. Punishing in 2D games just feels more obvious than it does in 3D.
-
I think I might put Rims in a sakkat, that way he can be like the poverty/swag member of the Storms from Big Trouble in Little China. These things matter.
-
lol I honestly thought you'd have gone with costume Type E (coat) or S (suit).
GGs in Tag 2. I felt like I was a little off with my main team because I hadn't used them in what feels like forever. I felt like I was more on point with the Miharu/Marshall team. Then again for the 2nd set of matches, we were playing on the Philippines stage where the walls are all kinds of fucked up. It seems like all the console stages that don't have obvious square/rectangle layouts have those messed up walls. If anything, I'm somewhat happy that I was landing the chicken more consistently and the only reversals I got hit by were the several times I failed to punish a raw tag because I was too slow. I still failed to punish some moves optimally which was pretty meh, but that just comes with time. I also didn't want to have to rely on raged Laws to bail me out of trouble which is why there were times when I was just being stubborn and kept my point character in. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. :gonk: I just remember in the first set of matches, I landed a TotD kick and a thrust kick, both WITHOUT rage and it was like 70% of a lifebar. Dunno how that happened. :psyduck: No virgin team swap for me this weekend. lol I'll be down for that next weekend if anyone else is. It's just fun. Plus I think I may have used up all my energy for the "serious" matches we just had. :|
I hope everyone learned from that video tutorial about getting up. Bottom line, tech roll every chance you get, even if you're not sure if the hit that knocked you down can't be tech rolled. It's the fastest way of recovering rather than just falling down, not being able to move for a bit, and then trying to back roll. Also remember to use side rolling while you're lying down to get the opponent to whiff an attack so you can get up safely. Pressing tag as soon as you hit the ground can work too but it's very risky because it's more or less the same as a raw tag.
And while I'm picking up Black Ops 2, it does not exempt me from the "challenge" from earlier. I'll have to do my research and command training once I receive DOA5. :V
-
Working on getting into the right mindset for BlOps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn_HFEDNZ_Q&feature=related). Probably won't go in on it (if I do) until next week though.
-
All of AZ is going full e-sports now? RIP
Sorry about not sticking around longer, but I felt like crap that night. That and I think between watching that one sod play through Nightmare House and all of the steak fries, it put me to sleep. I wanted to play something, even if they ended up with me throwing a controller at the wall.
Tempered/H-F/Ryd, I still need a name for the channel.
-
Are we possibly going to have a 4-man team for BlOps 2? If so, I never thought I'd never see the day that we, a bunch of Melty players, would be playing this game. lol As much as I have played CoD, fighters are still a higher priority on my list of games so don't think I'll be getting bored of those any time soon.
dippy you did check out kinda early last night. We went in on those steak fries, but that's the only way to go. :V As for a name for the channel, no moe robots in CoD so that's out of the question. :psyduck:
I got a text message from Gamestop saying that my copy will be available at 12:01 am but midnight purchases require check-in prior to 9pm? But I don't wanna be there until 1 am! :gonk: I suppose maybe I can go check-in, then go back at 1 am. Though I get the feeling there will be people camping out even before then. :-\
-
H-F, are you coming by here tomorrow after work? For... well... you know. :bricks:
-
Assuming I don't get blown up Michael Bay style when I go to the 1 am release, then I'll be there. Probably will be too tired to play it when I get back though. I get out of work a little earlier than I normally do as well.
This clip almost makes me wanna run snipers regularly. Almost. Assuming the hit detection isn't like BlOps 1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k05_ikZJdQU

It must've pained you to type that all out. anyways I recommend you watching us or something before buying blops 2. I wouldn't want you getting buyers remorse because of our hyping up of a shitty game.
-
I'll preview on Sat/Sun. I won't be going anywhere today due to Violet, Agarest 2, and being tired as fuck.
For future reference: Acid Rain's second kick forces standing :fap:
-
OOOOOOOH EXCELLENT!!!! :V
I expect you to land double JF acid rain with a 100% success rate by this weekend. :teach:
As for BlOps 2, hrm, I wasn't really planning on playing too much this weekend since we usually meet up for fighting games and I'll still wanna play those. But this weekend is also double XP weekend in BlOps 2. :psyduck: I suppose we could do a general Q&A session about the system mechanics and if there's a particular setup you might want to build, we'll see if we can put it together. COD always had a pretty weird meta game and there's so much more you can do with the new create a class system. I know you want to have an EXPLOSIVE time if you plan to get into it. Also, I just remembered, if Goldeneye was the last shooter you played, you might end up playing on inverted controls. lol
-
I don't know about 100% by the weekend, but I feel more consistent than I used to be.
f+3:3:3 SSR d+2 b+2~f~n(x2) 2,1,1 B! df+3,2,3
87 damage
Tagging to Alisa could push that to 95 with TA. Possibly higher if I were able to work out a way for one of the hits in the TA string to not whiff. Too bad I'm not partnering him with Alisa.
With Lili, I think I have to do iWS+2 loops. No idea what the damage on that will look like. Somewhere in the 90s probably.
-
dippy/tempered: I'll be getting out a little early tomorrow so if you guys don't mind if I head over for more explosions, I'll be available. Assault rifle damage seems kinda low in this game unless you're using the more high powered ones. I just unlocked the SCAR which was my favorite in MW2 so I'll be using that for a bit. I'm really anxious to use the M8A1 (4-round burst), but level 49 unlock. wtf
I get the feeling my circle button is gonna be busted by the time I'm finished grinding out Fight Lab in Tag 2. :psyduck: At the very least, I'm earning a lot of cash in the process. Much faster than waiting around for a Lucky Box online or in Ghost Mode.
I was randomly browsing here, and man, whoever came up with this, CLEARLY had me in mind: http://i.imgur.com/Bz37O.png
I dunno what to say. :bricks:
-
Meetup tomorrow? Working kinda late today.
-
I wouldn't mind. Obviously won't be able to stay as late due to having work the next morning. Will probably just blow up more shit tonight with the other guys since we have double XP this weekend. Fighting games will be tomorrow.
dippy/tempered: I'll be online later this afternoon. Just hit me up on AIM when you guys are ready.
BlOps 2 Frame Data: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6712/bo2weaponchartv102.png
No surprise, Type-25 damage is ass. It does the same damage as the M27 but my stats show I have much better performance with it than the Type-25, probably due to lower recoil. Also, semi-auto rifles can go full-auto with select fire? lolz It kinda feels like using select-fire is taking the lazy way out because I'm not using the weapon in a way it was purposely designed for, but the new class system is all about freedom of choice, so... :psyduck:
-
if people want to come over today feel free to.
-
I'll try to be there around 3-ish.

Seems a little early for one of those; at least for some characters. I'd have expected Axl to be worse than 4.5 for Testament tbh; that's one matchup where slower beasts should've had a larger impact. Then again, I'm not putting too much stock into this for Testament; haven't seen any players really take full advantage of his new options and gameplan, but he's a lot more complicated now, so I guess it's to be expected.
-
Just stumbled upon it and felt like sharing is all. I didnt even take a good look at it yet.

........
"ehehe"
^_^
EDIT:
Looking around for black Friday sales, I copped DOA5 for $30 off Amazon. :toot:
dippy/tempered - I'll see you guys later today.
-
See you guys later today?
-
My schedule's open, so most likely.
-
lol I think last night is the longest I've played Tag 2. :psyduck: We were playing when we got there and kept going until we left. Lots of random select matches though. lol I dunno who else I really wanna play. When I'm done grinding fight lab I'll have a ton of cash. Probably more than enough to put together a costume for characters I have a slight interest in playing in random select or for team swap matches. :X
dippy/tempered: If you guys are up for BlOps 2 later, hit me up on AIM.
-
Just a heads up. I have to work this saturday, and dippy will be at NEC. so if you want to show up do so after 5.
-
New job? Nice.
Just to be prepared, will we have a monitor to use for a setup this weekend or did dippy bring all the equipment with him to NEC? :psyduck:
-
Oh hell no, I'm not bringing all of that crap across the country. It'll be here; hopefully you can figure out how stuff should be connected without breaking everything.
-
For some reason I was thinking of Evo where all your stuff fits in your car instead of NEC. Silly me. :V
So long as nothing has drastically changed since the last time we were there I don't think we'll have a problem.
-
My stuff is here anyways. So no worries.
-
I've got a cold; there's a chance I may be doing better tomorrow since I've been dealing with this shit since Tues, but if I'm not, I'll spare you guys the potential infection and play Sunday by ear. Unless you want to chance getting sick, in which case I'll head over for sure.
-
I'm ok with tomorrow. Sundays, I have the tendency to leave a lot later than I should. :psyduck: I've had a cold for over a week but I feel like I'm recovering from it now. I don't think I can catch it again and if I'm really that worried I can always wear a surgical mask. :V But whatever works best for everyone else.
Also, TWO combo videos for team Punch & Kick:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR90rkT6VTw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqzeBf7ZTYI
Didn't think the team was all that popular. :slowpoke: I personally haven't decided on a potential 3rd team yet. I'll probably hit up Ghost mode for cash grinding and unlocking stuff for some characters. I also finally got the platinum trophy for this game, but didn't end up with nearly as much cash as I had hoped. :gonk:
-
So it might've been you who gave me this :< Jokes aside, I'll leave it up to Tempered if he wants to risk infection or not when he's just found a new job. I won't take it personally since I can understand not wanting to be sick. I'm feeling pretty miserable atm, but I can't use that as a measure of my health since I also only had around 3 1/2 hours of unbroken sleep last night.
"How do I combo with Lee/Violet (team)?" questions always make me laugh or facepalm; I'm never really sure which reaction is the correct one.
After more experimentation, I'm not really sure I'll go with Lei/Zafina as another project, but not for the reasons you'd expect (or perhaps for the exact reasons you'd expect): after going through his list a couple times, I'm actually kind of disappointed in the available options for each stance; I was hoping he'd have more :psyduck: And Zafina's moveset is pretty tiny (about the same size as Lee/Violet) given she has 3 main stances to work with.
Edit: Working with new characters/practicing shit I need to work on with my current characters? Nope. Customize mode, trying to decide which pair of shorts/pants looks best with Lili's biker jacket :V Fuck this mode, it detracts from the real game.
-
Yeah whatever works best for everyone, I'll just go with that.
How to combo with Lee/Violet team? Ummm....do you know one of the two? Then it's like, you're playing ANOTHER character! (but not really)
Lei doesn't seem to have too many moves out of certain stances it seems, but I figured because those moves can transition to other stances, which the in-game command list probably doesn't show. A TZ command list is much more comprehensive but I don't think there are any for TTT2.
And regarding customize mode, it's too broken. I suppose that's why some other games don't have it. I'm still having trouble finding ways to "erase" certain emblems on a costume with the decal editor. :psyduck:
DOA5 finally came in. I was going to do command training tonight but a couple days back, I agreed to play one of my friends in Tag 2 online tonight since we haven't played in like, a month I think. :< If people wanna play online let me know. He's in SoCal and the connection is pretty stable for the most part so I'd like to assume it wouldn't be too bad between any of us.
-
If I make it down this weekend, I'll help you out with those decals; playing around with Asuka and Alisa gave me a lot of practice. Sometimes you have to concede on a slightly different shade for your outfit since the "patches" I use to hide ugly shit don't always match up with the color editing system's numbers due to clothes textures, inherent reflectiveness, and whatnot.
Fuck Asuka's CH df+2~CC f+2 link. Also slowly working on solidifying my attacks with Violet. I have a ghetto Law slide/WS launcher mix-up, but I don't think Lili can capitalize on the tag buffer due to the low-far float on it. And now I'm curious if Asuka can catch that shit with her iWR3, but I've turned off the system for now :gonk: Yeah, I'm messing with the idea of shuffling between team members to see how shit goes, but I still haven't found anything for my other characters that really works off Alisa's semi-practical huge launchers.
I should probably get that netplay code, but then it'd probably just rot like my DoA code. Plus, GG on PSN this week; but since it's not +R, I feel slightly less compelled to go in on it.
-
I've tried mixing and matching my teams around a little bit and I think some of them work to an extent but I suppose that's because 2 of them are nearly identical. :V I haven't invested much time into them otherwise. I still get kinda annoyed how some combos will drop when you're just very slightly off axis. I could obviously go with options that are more stable and slightly less damaging (we're talking like 2-3 points damage less), but I'm stubborn about maximizing damage. :gonk:
GG is finally getting released on PSN so I'll be picking that up just as something to do during off-time but I won't be on it that much since it isn't +R.
-
Status update: feeling a lot better today. 12ish hours of sleep seems to have worked wonders.
-
Wish I could recovery from colds that fast. Or at least feel much better sooner. :-\ So should we meet up later then? After 5?
-
I'll probably be home a bit later than I though. But yeah. After 5 or 6 should be fine. Also I can risk getting sick.
-
I'll probably be leaving a bit closer to 5 or so, and it usually takes me a half hour to get there. Any ideas where we should go for food? :|
I've got a headache right now so I'll probably take a nap. I should try getting 12 hours of sleep sometime.
-
I'm starting to think there's some bizarre event going on in Tekken, or I just hit some kind of in-game jackpot. I've been getting lucky boxes non-stop for the last...I don't know...40+ minutes I think.
Edit: Almost an hour later...still getting them.
Edit2: Quit ghost mode twice and gone back in and still getting them. Pity I have to stop for the night. Oh well, easy 30mil.
-
wtf I can't remember the last time I had a lucky box streak like that. Even during online player or ranked matches. I want more cash. :gonk:
I dunno who to take into Ghost mode right now. I'm afraid if I do that then I might end up wanting to play said characters. :-\ Also remember, YOU made that Ogre costume, so YOU need to use it at some point. :bricks: You buy it you use it.
I'll probably be playing one of my friends back from SoCal in Tag 2 sometime this week. Either tomorrow night or Thursday night. I'll have a lobby set up so just hit me up then. Maybe I'll get some lucky boxes too. :psyduck:
-
I'm not sure what was up with it. It started with a lucky box that had a star in it...then some cash...then a weird alien...and then it was a lucky box every-single-damn-match for like two hours; at one point (before I made the initial post) I got a UFO, too. Then it was cash (50k~750k) or stars. Twice I got like...12 boxes at once. A couple times in there, there was a little pixelated dude on fire. A little before I quit, there was a weird Heihachi icon; and yeah, they were still pouring in at the end. Probably could've walked out of that with 60mil if I was playing single-round matches, but I prefer two a little too much.
-
Yeah I dunno what those stars, UFOs, or Heihachi icons are for but if anything they mean something special. Then you'll get those times when there's a bunch of boxes in one go. I think I'll just hit up Ghost mode again sometime soon and try my luck.
I just signed up for World Tekken Federation. Nice little stat tracker site. Kinda like COD Elite, but for Tekken. :V Anyone got ideas for a team name? I just want to have a team name displayed under my profile before matches. Doesn't matter if I'm going to be the only one in it. :|
dippy recently mentioned VF and I recall you mentioned VF last weekend and haven't done any combo training yet. The good thing is, the combo lists on VFDC are starting to get populated and I believe Lei's already has some material on it. They're organized neatly and it shows you exactly which characters they work on, CH and foot stance requirements. The characters are also listed in order from lightest to heaviest. So you might wanna check that out when you get the chance.
-
Why am I still getting lucky boxes??? I think I broke the game :psyduck:
Edit: Nvm, they finally stopped.
-
That star is supposed to mean roulette rush or something, where you get a ton of lucky box chances in a row. I need more of those. :|
-
I have no idea what to do with the fat chunk of G I'm sitting on. I think I have more than I'll need for the remainder of my time with the game unless they implement a new way to burn it. Of the characters I play:
Alisa - Have more pieces for outfits than I know what to do with. I only use the goth and chinese dresses with her anyway.
Asuka - Pretty much in the same boat as Alisa; lots of pieces, yet only use my jacket & jeans combo. I may throw a gi of some sort together for her for the hell of it. That's not much $ though.
Violet - Done. Too many outfits look terrible, so swag default and my classy custom are more than enough.
Lili - Pretty much done. She has some nice options, but has to keep it classy to keep up with Violet, so she's locked into outfits I already have.
Of the characters I have some measure of interest in:
Lei - I like his default outfit with some color tweaks too much to really go for something else. I guess I could throw together a leather jacket outfit to have him match with Asuka if I ever learn him and pair them up together...
Zafina - Moves too oddly for most of her clothing options, and I already have the one that I like that doesn't look impossible for her to move in.
Bryan - Best in default. I keep forgetting how much they nerfed his laugh.
Kuni and Ling have some really nice options, but I don't have much drive to play Kuni, and we've had too much Ling exposure as it is. I kind of want to dress Lars up in a pink gi Dan-style for trolling purposes, but then I'd have to live with the fact that I touched Lars.
Edit: I stand corrected: Kuni has attitude; a lot of it. She'll be a future project. Also, Angel has perfect customization options for Violet. Pity she doesn't have the attitude I want.
-
I'll most likely be playing online tonight around 10 with one of my friends from SoCal so if anyone wants to join in let me know.
I'd write something more detailed as a response but I only have a couple minutes left on my break. Will possibly edit this later if there's nothing new by the time I get home.
-
I think I spent a couple hours playing around with Angel and electrics and I have no idea why :psyduck: Fun(ny) stuff though. Was hoping to do something like EWGF EWGF~5 b+2,f~N f+4,3~5 TA! dash EWGF d/f+3,2,3 with Violet for shits 'n giggles, but the last EWGF doesn't drop them right for it. Or maybe I just couldn't nail the timing. (E)WGF~5 4,u+3 dash f+4,3~5 TA! b+4,1 fff+3,4 is 94 damage with a good chunk of red gone though, but a quick search later told me it's better to tag after a f+4~3 followup to EWGF.
Can't join netplay yet because I'm being lazy as fuck with getting an online pass, but I'll be crashing soon anyway since I have to work early tomorrow.
-
Well remember, online pass is only $10 and as shocking as it is for me to say, Tag 2 netcode so far has been really good to me, even during ranked matches. That's a lot considering how much I absolutely despise netplay for fighting games.
Lei looks fine in a leather jacket of some kind. It was one of his alternate costumes before iirc. The Lei+Asuka team had a positive allegiance both ways iirc. She goes positive with all the T6 characters (Bob, Miguel, Leo, Zafina) for whatever reason. Seems kinda random to me, but not all of them make sense. :psyduck:
Ling and Miharu more or less have the same customize options and they're pretty decent. I was going to use Ling on a team to grind out Ghost mode again since I already achieved max rank with Miharu offline. I really want to use the kung fu shirt + pants because it would match very well with the Laws' costumes but the biggest turnoff is those damn cat paws. I might end up using it anyway, seeing that it's not too far out of context for the character, seeing that she had some really silly costumes in T5, but I'm not in love with it. Not quite feeling the Chinese dresses for them either because of the arm warmers, but I'd have to give it a little more thought. I could always opt for track jacket + pants and most characters who have them don't look bad in them, but they're far too abundant it seems.
Is there anything wrong in saying I have a very slight interest in characters that are already being played? Then again, I'll just leave it at that. :-\
I haven't really thought too hard about playing other characters but part of the fun involved is exploring other characters. It would have to go beyond what customization options are available because I'd have to like playing the character first, editing costumes is secondary. The furthest I've taken it is to have each team have a matching theme to their costumes. But I'll probably just dabble around with some characters here and there. I did that with a lot of characters in T6 since I didn't have anyone to play against.
If I had to start, I was considering Feng because Aris just released a tutorial (4+ hours) about the character and I think it would be a better way to start off than going to TZ forums oddly enough.
Word has it that Tag 2 dlc is done, so I dunno if we're getting new costume items or what. No announcement has been made since the final batch of dlc characters were released which is strange considering the game has been getting a lot of announcements since release. If that is the case, that's a pity. Because a lot of alternate costumes from the previous games are missing, and some costume items just don't have a suitable matching upper/lower half. Eg. Jun has kung fu pants, but she has absolutely NOTHING that would match with those pants. I would have use that but thankfully her Chinese dress looks fine to for me.
I can't believe I just went on some long tangent about costume edits. Now I feel even more insecure. Great. :gonk:
I randomly remember some time ago, dippy said my main team was Asian as hell. I uh...disagree. :V No explanation needed I hope. :X They just, have small eyes and, uh...wear glasses. x_X
Also, umbrella tag-in ftw. I knew after all these years, she learned how to fly. :toot:
-
VF and DoA for sure this weekend; it's going to be very hard to develop a proper drive to learn the game if I don't start actually playing it, and if I'm playing VF, then H-F is playing DoA :V Focusing on combo training and Lei's attacks that are advantage on block for now.
Also, which stagger escape setting is more realistic; normal or fastest?
-
HAY GUYS LET'S PLAY AQUAPAZZA :bricks:
Hey, the game is fun as long as some shithead doesn't pick Chizuru (unless you're already playing Tamaki or Konomi, then just fight it out). Ended up playing it way more than I figured I would (or should have) at NEC.
Also, which stagger escape setting is more realistic; normal or fastest?
Honestly, I would test both. Some people mash really damn hard.
-
when you get used to it people can mash that stuff asap.
And I'll play the aqua pizza. I don't think its that bad of a game just a little awkward.
-
WHY AM I GRINDING ELECTRICS??? :slowpoke:
Hey, the game is fun as long as some shithead doesn't pick Chizuru (unless you're already playing Tamaki or Konomi, then just fight it out).
I would almost consider it if we were to make that a rule. Almost.
-
I dunno, why ARE you grinding electrics? Hell, why don't we ALL grind electrics? :bricks: Electrics for EVERYONE! Also, I think I may have decided on a third team. Feng/Leo. But right now I don't have the time or energy to learn a completely new team, so that's a future project. I also spent too much time trying to get rid of these silly emblems using the decal editor. I really think at this juncture I should say I play 6 characters, 3 including their copy&paste counterparts. :V
And regarding AP, let's put it into perspective. Tekken 4 is fun as long as some shithead doesn't pick Jin (unless you're already playing Steve or Nina, then just fight it out). See where I'm going with this? :| Besides, Chizuru is the character I was assigned to kill the game. And knowing that you guys play Tamaki and Konomi, I don't think this is going to end well for anyone. Besides, if at all possible, I'd like to avoid having the talk. :gonk: All joking and shit talking aside, I'd put a little time into the game if it didn't cost so damn much to import. When's Chaos Code coming out again? :psyduck:
When all is said and done, what do I truly think of AP? :mystery:
I'm ok with making tomorrow VF/DOA night seeing that it's all we (mainly Carlos and I) have been playing for however long and I think a weekend break would be good. I'll probably get yelled at a lot in DOA but I guess it's to be expected. :V
-
I've redesigned my team philosophy: Violet + random chick (just the way he likes it (this also works out better since he's the only aggressive character I've got)). So far there's Alisa, Asuka, and Lili as available partners. I have a gorgeous outfit for Angel, so if I ever get consistent enough with electrics and get over her style (idle stance and outfit are perfect imo; all that's wrong is her voice (I can deal) and those damn Mishima moves), that's another partner. Also toyed around with Ling, but she seems a bit too jailbait for Violet, so I dunno (Miharu is nixed by default on account of being a 12 year-old in a porn star's body). Leo is not a viable option since she won't wear a dress. Julia's fighting style is godawful, Nina's built like a man, and Michelle can't lose the headband without looking terrible, so they're out, too.
I played Lee is T4, so I'd have been okay with that ruleset, too :V I also wouldn't touch either of those other two characters. The only playable character that appeals to me in the slightest is Manaka (I think?), so the "fight it out" clause will never come into play. If Mizuki was a playable character, it'd be a whole different story and I'd be a lot more interested, but what can you do?
We can still have Tekken going; I still enjoy it, even if there's stupid shit that doesn't make sense (yet?)
-
What happened to Kuni? :V Me personally, I think the only really suitable partner for her is Raven, because you know....ninjas. :| But that team comes up a lot in ghost mode so eh.
If your okay with Tekken then I guess I'm still down. We just need to make sure we're not on it so long that there's no time for the other games. :-\ Also if the stupid shit doesn't make sense now, it probably never will.
-
Oh right. Kuni's still on the list, I just forgot to mention her (unlike Anna, who I deliberately left out). Pity that Violet doesn't seem to get the mask option that Lee has, otherwise they'd work out even better. Unless I missed it in the menus...I admit I haven't really gone looking for it; just don't remember seeing it.
I'm sure if I were to put major time into becoming intimately familiar with the walls of the game, certain things would make a lot more sense. I'm not really sure I want to though, because the more I learn about the way walls work (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8rBsvcTK9o&feature=related), the stupider things seem to get (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rLLpWiJEiTs). They really should've taken a page out of DoA's book on how to handle walls, because some of the crap you can do is just retarded.
-
Yeah those weird wall splats and everything can lead to retarded shit if you can adjust on the fly. Why do you think the game is so popular for combo videos? Also, Lee and Lars...why am I not surprised? :V
For my new team, not sure what costumes I'll use. I'll just have to see what they have and hope they don't cost too much. :gonk:
I also need to learn some legit combos in DoA. :psyduck:
Edit:
Just randomly looked at my twitter feed and saw Brandino complaining about the Fatal Frame games. Brings back memories. lol good times
-
Complaining about them? In what way? Other than 2 being more tame than 1, and 3 being all about whatshername trying to seduce Miku, what's there to complain about?
freestepdodge's Kasumi combo thread seems to be a bit of a mess (at least compared to the Ayane section); have fun with that =T Though most combos in DoA aren't particularly difficult; at least when compared to trying to work out Lei's stuff in VF.
-
Yeah, when I saw her combo thread on FSD, I wasn't pleased to say the least. I guess I was expecting a little too much because the character(s) I play in VF and Tekken have a neatly organized OP for their combo threads. Guess I'll have to do a little exploration of my own. :gonk:
I'll be there between 4-5 or so. Running a little behind here.
-
Complaining about them? In what way? Other than 2 being more tame than 1, and 3 being all about whatshername trying to seduce Miku, what's there to complain about?
I'm not going to lie; when I first read this I thought it was about someone trying to seduce Hatsune Miku... which would have guaranteed the game sold a lot better, if nothing else.
Apropos of nothing: How to make even the most violent and authoritarian people look moe (http://imgur.com/a/UBc8p#0).
-
VF was more fun than expected. This is due in part to H-F's panicking at Lei doing crazy shit on his own, but I'm trying to keep him on a short leash until I familiarize myself with more of his transitions and options. It might technically hurt me a bit right now, but I'd rather know what I'm doing than letting the character play himself.
-
Last night was a lot of fun. It was one of those times where we just played many games, talked light-hearted bullshit, and just had a good time. I wish it were always like that. :V Plus we finally got our first real taste of the games we're supposed to try out.
No matter how many times I've seen Lei fight I still never fully understand the properties of his stances and how they transition into each other. I don't think I successfully ever struggled out of that low kick that causes stagger and that's probably due in part to playing on a pad, and just not struggling hard enough. I should probably practice that a bit. :| I kept dropping the combo off this one launcher because he's a mid-weight but everything else worked normally.
DoA was pretty fun although I'm still a complete nub at the game. I didn't quite remember exactly which stuns there are and which of them you can/can't hold out of. :| Not knowing what strings were heading my way explained all those times where I'd be hitting buttons when I shouldn't. :| Needless to say I kinda felt like my character was playing themselves more than I was. All I was really doing was using strings, ending them differently and changing up the timing on them. It's where most of my damage came from since I don't know legit combos. :V I actually looked at the Ayane combo thread on FSD and it's making me cry. Everything is neatly organized, detailed, and hell there's even a video tutorial as well. wtf This is what I get for wanting to play the cover character. :-\ I'm seriously getting more ideas just watching random matches that people are linking in the Kasumi thread asking "how do you do this combo @ x:yz?" blargh. It seems that you can get bigger damage if you land those critical stuns and launch them when the critical stun indicator is flashing red? Dunno if that's right. I gotta figure out ways to effectively utilize the critical burst and power blow. I seriously need to make up my mind on how I try to defend in this game. Trying to use the d-pad AND the Hold button at the same time is not particularly a good idea. Half the time I'd end up getting unwanted counters which got me killed, and other times I'd successfully counter a move that I had no idea was even coming. Playing the wrong way and getting away with it? Or play like shit and get rewarded? :psyduck: Didn't have that problem with high counters because you don't hold up/back to block in a 3D game. But yeah, I need to get past this mental block. :-[ I like how the header changes each time you visit a new page on FSD, kinda like homing cancel. I thought the one where Tina and Bass are ganging up on Kokoro was kinda funny. She just looks so uncomfortable, like she doesn't wanna be there. lol Then again, I don't think I'd wanna be caught in that situation either. :gonk:
-
Thanks for everyone for coming by. I almost feel bad about the lack of anime fighters... maybe that's why I keep trying to get people to play Aquapazza. :V
It's funny seeing H-F watch someone play; I think he said more in those random matches I played than he ever has in all of the games I have played with him.
No matter how many times I've seen Lei fight I still never fully understand the properties of his stances and how they transition into each other. I don't think I successfully ever struggled out of that low kick that causes stagger and that's probably due in part to playing on a pad, and just not struggling hard enough. I should probably practice that a bit. :| I kept dropping the combo off this one launcher because he's a mid-weight but everything else worked normally.
You're going to need to learn how to mash that, or else you're going to get lit up by characters with lots of guard breaks. I don't know how it works on pad; you should be able to mash on the button bindings as well.
It seems that you can get bigger damage if you land those critical stuns and launch them when the critical stun indicator is flashing red? Dunno if that's right.
Mostly. What happens is that when you get into the red critical stun state, any moves that hit after that point will hit with their CH properties. So moves that only launch on CH will launch, NH launchers will have a higher launch, and so on. You can also land a critical burst move, which makes your next attack guaranteed to hit -- this is the most common way to land a power blow. If you don't have a power blow available, you typically launch instead as any non-launching hit is going to knock down anyway.
None of this takes walls into account, and honestly your best strings change when near a wall, and trying to land critical bursts and power blows become nearly impossible. It's important to know which strings cause wall hits -- and which ones don't.
I like how the header changes each time you visit a new page on FSD, kinda like homing cancel. I thought the one where Tina and Bass are ganging up on Kokoro was kinda funny. She just looks so uncomfortable, like she doesn't wanna be there.
Uwaa~~ Americans are scary~~

Why would you feel bad about the lack of anime fighters? Also, I hate you.
-
Someone buy me a copy of AP and then I might play it more. :-X I wouldn't feel too bad about the lack of anime fighters right now. I mean Chaos Code is (hopefully) coming out sometime this calendar year right? Maybe?
Finally starting to get a little better damage off combos in DoA and understanding how certain stuns work. Now to decide whether I want to use the d-pad or the Hold button to defend.
dippy, out of curiosity will we ever do BlOps 2 streaming again? The game recently got its first major patch and it does feel a bit better to play, and we're finally getting better matches, though it still has issues with connections.
-
SCR SCR SCR SCR SCR SCR SCR SCR SCR (just so you don't forget)
Why would you feel bad about the lack of anime fighters?
Honestly, I get the impression that everyone is a bit lost in regards to what they really want to play. Then again, maybe I should shut up since people are actually playing VF. :V
Also, I hate you.
Good. :nyoro:

Yeah, I'm going to pay $80 just so I can get tooled on by Chizuru even worse. RIP.

I got the impression and you and Tempered just really were not that interested in BlOps2, for one reason or another. If you want to kick that off, let's talk.
-
Well in all honesty, there was a period last month where we hadn't played the game for like, 2 weeks straight, maybe a little longer. The matchmaking is a big part of the problem, and namely there's a lot of dumb shit with the connections like randomly dropping out of games, constantly getting put into games where you have virtually NO chance at winning unless Nukes returned, having the game drop people off your team and NOT fill it back up while the other team is full, and end up losing the match when you had a huge lead on them. That's the kind of stuff that makes the game unfun. The matchmaking is garbage right now because of all that, and I don't like the "skill-based" matchmaking they have implemented so far. It seems that all the players who are supposed to be around my "skill level" all get put on the other team while I get stuck with all the noobs. When you're constantly losing matches and you're the best player on the team after like 5 straight games, all of them losses, something is wrong. 6 players of equal skill level going up against 1 of me, who's likely to win that matchup? Because if you're the top scoring player on your team and the rest of the team does jack shit, it might as well have been 1v6. Bleh.
Here's an example of some stuff that has happened to people (not us) that had to be addressed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOPqW1gMhPY
But the game is absolutely brilliant when it works and it's truly amazing. The game has had its first major patch merely a month after release. This is the fastest that any COD game has received a major patch afaik. The game isn't perfect or anywhere close because the matchmaking still sucks, but weapon balancing has been tweaked a bit, and other weapons feel more relevant. Treyarch is doing much better post-support launch than IW did with any of the MW games. The noobtube problem never got addressed in MW2 and it took them over 6 months to address weapon balancing issues in MW3. When IW started running into those legal issues or whatever with Activision, it's clear that the quality of the MW series was on the decline, while Treyarch's titles have gotten better with each iteration. I have more faith in Treyarch than IW at this point.
But back on topic, the game does feel better now that the patch has been released and it's a step in the right direction. Recently, we've been getting back into the game a bit and we've been having short gameplay sessions every so often with some good results. Either we've gotten better at the game, or we're getting more competant teammates, or something but for me I've been having more success recently than my time pre-patch. That or we're just using much better setups. I've been wondering when you'd hop into our sessions as well because it's better to have more people you know on the team because it's easier to communicate than with a bunch of randoms.
Overall, I like this COD more than MW3 by a longshot. The spawn system, while not perfect, is nowhere NEAR as bad as MW3's (probably due in part to Orbital VSAT). One perk doesn't shit all over everything like Assassin did, the 10 point system and how they split up perks feels like a much better balancing mechanic than what they've been using up until then. Weapon balancing has been addressed within the first month, which shows they are paying attention to the usage statistics. Score streaks are a much better implementation of killstreaks because there's no Support streaks where the worst player in the lobby will shit all over your hard work because he went 18-40 and got an EMP. Also, NO last stand or death streaks of any kind. The series FINALLY got this right. Enough of this rewarding someone for playing like shit.
lol oops I've gone on for too long here. tldr; my only issues with the game are the horrible matchmaking and the lag compensation. Everything else is fine and I can say that with confidence. At this point during MW3's lifespan I was really skeptical. I do intend to hit master prestige in this game (10th prestige, max level) so long as they continue to support the game and don't lazily add in more prestiges.
I'll be getting out early on Friday, so if you're ok with doing a stream then, let me know. I suggest Tempered get on the stream setup since we both put up big numbers and he puts out a lot of streaks more consistently than I do.

Honestly, I get the impression that everyone is a bit lost in regards to what they really want to play. Then again, maybe I should shut up since people are actually playing VF. :V
My priorities are pretty sorted out. There aren't really any accessible 2D fighters that I really want to play at the moment; that'll all change once AC+R comes out, but until then...yeah, nothing. I'll certainly give Chaos Code a whirl since that looks fun, but my hopes for sticking with 2D fighters that are not GG have been dwindling lately. I have fun with Tekken and DoA, and now VF, so I really won't mind playing them. I just need to actually practice DoA now since it'll be getting more play time, and put more time into VF to master the art of spinning rims.
-
Usual plan tomorrow?
-
indeed
-
See you guys later today.

GGs in DoA and VF last night. DoA is pretty fun even though I'm still a nub at it. I hadn't played the game since the weekend before, but I think I had a better showing than last time even if I'd only spent a little time in training mode before I got there. :-X
Also, the following is irrefutable and undeniable proof that will put any suspicions, doubts, or false accusations to rest:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/hfblade/random/proof_zps32aa2ec6.jpg)
My anime levels can't possibly be through the roof if they've never even left the ground! :V Is this why you guys are getting me to watch Madoka? lol
-
H-F, you are essentially a man whose hands and clothes are splattered with blood, holding a blood-stained knife, standing over a corpse riddled with knife wounds, and trying to tell me that you just got there.
-
The evidence says otherwise. Besides, remember how you mistook me for using a magical wand for one of my VF costumes? Yeeeeah. This means that any and all accusations you can make against me regarding this matter are null and void. :laffo:
-
The defense lacks the authority to declare what can and will be thrown out. Even with one faulty snippet of evidence, there is still the bloody corpse to contend with.
-
lol this is starting to sound like some really bad murder mystery VN or whatever you wanna call it. :V Enough with the metaphorical observations and just tell me what you think I'm guilty of, and why. :psyduck: Granted it's impossible to mount a case in light of such evidence. Faulty? It's as genuine as it gets. It's taken right off my twitter timeline in unedited form. So unless you can present more convincing evidence, whatever case you or anyone else can mount is pretty much burnt at this point. shindanmaker is the absolute truth.
A bloody corpse? I wasn't the one who brought it up. It was never factored into the equation from the start. :mystery:
-
So Chaos Code is out on Hong Kong PSN. From what I can tell it's like ~$15 or something. I'll see if I can cop it.
EDIT:
The Code has been downloaded. This shit is CHAOTIC.
-
I won't be able to make it this weekend; working late on Sat, and well enough into evening on Sun that there's no point in trying to go anywhere. Friday could be semi-workable; Xmas eve might be as well, incidentally.
Tempered, it was Mirai Nikki that had strong Desunote overtones. Like Desunote, it was better than most of the trash that is anime/manga, but it also suffered the same weaknesses that kept DN from being great in my eyes.
H-F, if you want some real murder mystery VNs, I can hook you up. You just have to be okay with some blood and gore (not Dippy-level/guro/etc.)
-
Ryd, let me know if Christmas Eve could work out... or could H-F not make it then, either. fffff planning.
Friday would be OK but I have work Saturday morning (but it's the Saturday before Christmas, it'll probably be slow as shit); I would need to know by tomorrow evening so I could make preparations for food.
Dippy levels of blood? Where the hell do you think I live, Splatterhouse?
-
I'm ok with some blood and gore. I mean just look at some of the games I play and it doesn't bother me all that much. :|
The thing about Christmas Eve is that my family is here, and we already are planning to be somewhere else that night. So the only option it looks like we have is Friday but I work then and I might be getting out late. :-\
-
The thing with Friday is that I work until 4 that day, and may be asked to stay later (a chance I'd take, given I could use the money), and wouldn't make it until a while later due to things that'll need doing + travel time. If Sat/Sun works better for everyone else, don't worry about it; I'll have a new laptop to start configuring anyway.
Dippy, I meant your preferred levels of gore. You seem to be pretty high up there on the list of what you'll take.
H-F, I was implying psychotic-maniac levels of sick-fuckery, not just people getting blown away.
-
I know what you mean. I've seen my share of crazy shit. You don't have to worry about me. :|
But yeah, we don't have much time to figure this out. lol planning
-
What would ever get you to think that, Ryd?
*looks at avatar*
Wait, the penguin hat wasn't filled with ketchup when Mami put it on? :slowpoke:
OK, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to buy some food tomorrow night. You don't have to come by for a full grindlord session on Friday or Saturday or Sunday or whatever; if everyone got together for dinner for a couple of hours that would be fine. I do need a few hours lead time though (the pork takes a while to cook). So if nothing else happens, H-F can come by Sunday night and have some meaty ass ribs (while getting kicked in the ribs by Rui).
I'm not worried about the food getting eaten or not -- worst case is that Tempered and I body that shit 10-0.
-
Me getting kicked in the ribs? HAH! You're gonna be too busy getting corner looped (after I learn it) to get the chance. I play a character in a trenchcoat, they HAVE to be good based on prior history. The hardest decision, is what color palette to use. This is VERY important. :psyduck: I kinda wanna play Celia too (not Celia II, dammit!), but that'll have to come later. Also, I haven't had the chance to play you in DoA ever since I put in a little time into learning it.
-
Real talk in a game we don't really play yet...:V
-
Well, a couple of us have gotten started, but that's it. :| While I really want to learn how the game works, this game doesn't exempt me from DoA. I must get better. :gonk:
-
Mahou Slug too fun. I wish I could get that shit on my psp.
-
im pretty sure theres a way. I need to start the chaos code grind I guess. Too bad I know nothing about the game so I dont even know who I want to pick up.
-
Yeah, there's not a lot of readily available information regarding system mechanics and there's no centralized website/forum for the game which makes it kinda difficult to start out right now. There is some Facebook page dedicated to the game but eh, that's one of the last places I want to be going for information. bell recently started the Chaos Code wiki on mizuumi so we can expect that to start populating with information.
For match videos, go to www.youtube.com/selectyourbounce
Since we're all trying the game out, I also hope this doesn't mean no one's gonna play Tag 2 and DoA with me anymore. I didn't throw VF in there because dippy will always play that. :|
-
I don't think I've ever actually said no to DoA. Ever. I also won't give up Tekken; I'll keep with that series simply because the characters amuse me, even if the game does seem kinda broken in certain aspects. And this weekend is pretty much a bust for me; I elected to stay late today and didn't get home till after 7, wasn't going anywhere that late after a full day since I'd probably end up passing out early. Working till midnight tomorrow, 9pm Sunday...xmas eve, might be free if my family skips town. I also probably won't get too hardcore into CC yet; I'll fiddle around with it next time I'm over there and pass final judgment.
UNIB actually looks kinda interesting now if you watch matches that don't involve Yuzu (hmm...sounds familiar...) At least, the Vatista players seem to be getting better and working some pretty neat shit with her.
Homura is too good in Mahou Slug (we should try to play it some time if we can ever get H-F to finish Madoka). Carpet bomb tech cheeses so much shit...
-
I have plans on Christmas Eve already so that's more than likely not going to work. If whatever is happening Sunday is still on, I can do that.
Also, in my case I'm usually satisfied if I can have even one person to play a certain game with me. Regarding CC, I've put in some time to learn a little about the game but nothing substantial. I'm still not even sure what the official names of certain things are. :-\ It seems fun but those are just my initial impressions so far. I didn't even know that the game was lacking netplay until people mentioned it. lol The dev team said they'd work to add it in, not that I really care. But it's a hell of a lot more affordable alternative to AP. :-X Regarding DoA, I remember you said Ruben and co. or some others played it, but do they still? Or is it one of those games that just came and went? :-\
I'll be real and say that I've had no drive to watch UNiB match videos for a long time and even post-patch it's not really catching me hard. The game itself is functional now but that's not enough. The game is still a little too combo-heavy for my tastes and not very fundamentals-based which was supposedly what they were aiming for originally. Doesn't help that Yuzu is one of the characters I wanted to play (big surprise). The only thing I care about UNiB-wise right now is the soundtrack. We're probably gonna have to wait until the 20th or 30th revision or hotfix before it gets to Melty levels of playable.
And what was the original intent for having me watch Madoka? Is everyone trying to get me to be more (than 0%) anime by exposing me to magical weapons? :psyduck:
-
I think carlos just wants to watch anime. Or make you watch good anime. I don't you'll have to ask him. But yeah looks like Sunday is going to be you best bet HF. sounds like Carlos wont be able to make it. Oh well.
On the Anime note. Do you recommend watching Air and Kanon carlos?
-
lol Well I don't have a problem with it really. Just so long as people aren't getting any crazy ideas about me. :V
-
I treat people as I interpret them. You're welcome to interpret those implications however you like. If it's any comfort, take some solace in knowing that I would never force you to watch something made for anime-tards (generally speaking, I don't watch anything I believe to be bad, and am of the opinion that 90% of anime is trash (like every other form of media; does that reduce my anime levels?)) Whatever you may think of my tastes/degree of illness, the only things I share are those that do things really well (High School of the Dead being very well done because it knew exactly what it was and what it was doing.) Madoka is good for very different reasons; I've actually been pretty hung up on that series in general lately. Kinda wish it'd gone on longer because there were a few events/concepts they could've expanded on to great effect.
For Kanon and Air...yes and yes...ish. Kanon is similar to Clannad in many respects, but a lot more open about blatant fantasy elements; while Clannad was very subtle until they smack you in the face with it at the end (granted, it took the sting out of the kick to the gut they gave you earlier), Kanon is pretty evenly spread out all the way through. The story is less family-centric and more about unraveling the mystery surrounding the main character's shaky memory of the past.
Air is very different from the other parts of Key's unholy trinity. I can recommend watching it, but I can also understand if someone elected to skip that one. Quality-wise, the only thing it really suffers from is being too short; half a season to Kanon's full season and Clannad's two full seasons. It's kind of jarring because it feels like it jumps around a lot and doesn't take the necessary time to work with the various plot elements. The story...see for yourself.
Tomorrow is pretty much a no-go for me period since I'm working in the evening and the following morning.
-
dippy/tempered: I'll probably be leaving my place around 5. See you guys later. Definitely would like to play some CC, and if time permits, maybe get on a BlOps 2 stream. :|
-
For anyone still interested in going to SCR, I need to know when people can leave by and when people need to be back. I already have a place to stay lined up, so we don't need to worry about that.
As for more local matters... anyone coming by tomorrow? Sunday?
-
I'd like to go to SCR but I can't make any guarantees at this time. If I do go, FR is most certainly out of the picture. Not that I was considering going to FR this year. :|
For tomorrow, I have work but I'm getting out earlier than usual. So I can do that. Sunday may not work out so well since I have to start work earlier on Monday since it's New Year's Eve but that means my shift ends earlier too. If neither Sat. nor Sun. works out for anyone, would anyone be available New Year's Eve? :-X
-
I'm free on New Year's Eve/New Year's, tomorrow, Sunday...whenever, just let me know. Possibly tomorrow + Monday if we really want to do something like that. I'll probably be bringing Grief Syndrome tomorrow (aka Mahou Slug) in case anyone has any interest in that. It's fun with multiple people on higher laps, though the game gets absurd if you get high enough (lap 10001: 10-15 minutes dealing with a mob of minions to kill one, and everything flat out kills you in one shot...)
I don't know for sure about SCR yet, but I'll see what my schedule's like next week. What's the ideal departure/arrival schedule looking like?
-
well im only going to be working for the next 4 hours until the 2nd so everything is fine with me as well. Don't expect me to stay up as late as usual though.
-
I'll see you guys later today. Getting out of work around 2:30-ish or so.
-
I'll see you guys tomorrow. I'll be getting out from work around 4.
dippy if we're going to prepare for SCR in VF, then I kinda like the idea of trying to pick up another character for learning purposes. If you're going to choose Lion, for the love of God, DON'T start a match with 2KK. :psyduck: If you do, I already have a response planned. :bricks:
-
May not make it due to some minor car difficulties.
-
Are we meeting up today?
-
I'm covering a shift at work tonight, so I won't be able to make it. Tomorrow may be possible though.
-
If that's the case, I can be there tomorrow but I'll be earlier than usual and leave earlier as well due to work the next day.
-
Fine, show up tomorrow. I'll... still be here.
-
lol where else would you be on a regular Sunday? :V
-
VF was fun last night. Lion has too many lows. Wouldn't have been so bad if I were using the right moves to punish them. :-\ Kept trying to punish with 3K+G instead of just 6K. Hell flip kick would have been good enough.
Oh, and that one Jacky costume of mine is NOT so anime. :V
-
H-F, vivid blue hair makes you either anime or emo by default. I don't know which is the shittier option for you.
SCR is pretty much out for me; I'm scheduled to work Thurs-Sun that weekend, and while I could see a day, maybe two, being granted, I'm not even going to bother asking for the whole stretch.
-
Neither. Because neither of them apply to me. :P And it wasn't very vivid at all. The stage just made it look brighter than it really is. :| I like Aoi's stage even though I don't play her, so does that raise my levels any? shindanmaker says no. :V Don't tell me some random bloody corpse is gonna get thrown into the picture again trying to pin it on me. I know you did that. :psyduck:
As for SCR, I should know about everything no later than Monday. It's really close, but it should all be figured out by then. What is planning?
-
Will we be meeting up tomorrow?
-
Will we be meeting up tomorrow?
I don't know... are we?!?
I guess it's really a question of when Ryd would be able to make it out; my schedule hasn't changed since 1996.
-
I'm working early Sunday morning, which makes Saturday a pain because I'd have to leave a lot earlier than usual. I get out early in the afternoon on Sunday though, so I should be able to show around 3-4 if that works for everyone else.
-
Looks like we'll meet up Sunday again. At the very least I can dedicate all of tomorrow getting other things done.
As for SCR, I should know if I can attend by Monday, hopefully no later than that. :bricks:
EDIT:
blargh. Car trouble. Which means $$$ needs to be spent. So my chances of attending SCR have gone down. How much would I be looking at in travel expenses? Obviously there's still registration that needs to be accounted for as well.
DOUBLE EDIT:
My car is still functional so I can be there later today.
Also, Taka is a fatass, which is why he gets hit by combos like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvsCwx4MXWo
NO juggle hits needed.
-
wow. they cant even shake out of that?
-
Nope. Notice how the struggle indicator did NOT appear. lol Plus that 4-hit string at the end is one of many strings that just happen to be natural combo against him and no one else.
-
Alright, so it's official. As of right now there isn't anything holding me back from attending SCR. I have this Friday off. Don't have Monday off so we'd need to return Sunday. So...yeah. :|
-

I have no problem with returning on Sunday.
Apparently I do have a problem playing half-asleep!
One concern: the event starts at 10 AM on Friday... which means driving to Irvine in traffic. :gonk:
-
That's what I wanted to know. When did you plan on leaving and when should I be at your place? I still need to do the on-site registration. :psyduck: Sucks that late registration closed the day before I could confirm my status.
As for returning on Sunday, I'm ok with anything as long as we're back before midnight at the latest. :|
-
That's what I wanted to know. When did you plan on leaving and when should I be at your place? I still need to do the on-site registration. :psyduck: Sucks that late registration closed the day before I could confirm my status.
We are leaving Thursday evening; I would basically head over here after you get out of work.
Part of the problem is that we need to be there super early for you to register on-site, 7 AM or thereabouts. Ugh.
-
That's what I was thinking. So the career fair was going to be a bust either way. :( I'll be there later today then. What's planning? :psyduck:
-
Guess Carlos didn't want to be alone with me. Anyways just a heads up. Have to work sat and sun this weekend. Doesn't really change anything really. Just a heads up though.
-
You work both days this weekend? Ouch. BlOps 2 is having double XP this weekend and I was gonna hop back into that since it's been like 2, almost 3 weeks since I last played. If you have any time available, let me know.
I wanna run this setup now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgPCvLDT_OU
Speaking of schedules, I just filled out another shift bid at work so I'll find out what my new schedule is no later than the middle of next week. At the very least I'm hoping I still get to keep weekends off.
Was going to make a semi-serious post but don't have the energy for it right now.
-
Guess Carlos didn't want to be alone with me. Anyways just a heads up. Have to work sat and sun this weekend. Doesn't really change anything really. Just a heads up though.
Well, I don't think you ever said definitively whether or not you were going, and nothing was posted here... Besides, I've been plenty busy between TERA, Corpse Party, and working on SLabrys.
-
I know. Im kidding. Was distracted by watching anime. And we can probably get some time in HF. I dont know how much but we will have to see.
-
I'm good for Fri-Sun, though if we meet on Sat, I'll have to bail a little early due to work on Sunday morning.
-
I'd prefer Saturday if possible.
Right now I'm in that phase where I'm getting restless because I'm waiting for my new shift to be revealed sometime soon. Because that will affect if/when I can meet up with everyone, and determine if I can attend future events. If all goes well, I might find out tomorrow. Based on what I know right now, I don't feel too confident, but I'm going to hope for the best and see if I can keep weekends off even if it means closing shift during the week. At the very least, I'm hoping to get one of the schedules that has either one of the weekend days off but I don't think there were many of those.
Some things I wanted to discuss, and this is just in general:
VF:
Me personally, I'd like to focus a little more on VF if I intend to compete in the Sega Cup. However, my ability to attend will all depend on the schedule I get from work because chances are I'm going to have it for the next 3-4 months or so.
Apparently juicebox has expressed an interest in the game so he might be paying us a visit or he might host something for it possibly. Dunno yet. And on a related note, Sega has specifically challenged JWong to learn VF. And who is the character he'll be playing???? *drum roll* Jacky! YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH! (or NOOOOOOOOOO! depending on how you look at it). ALL the more reason to learn the matchup. I can't say I was pleased that Rip managed to make top 8 in VF at SCR because imo there was only one person there who played him well. Sucks that my first loss in the tourney was to a Jacky player but I came back and pushed his shit in when I had to fight him again. It's like someone else played my first match for me and did a horrible job of it. No one will ever know why the first match went the way it did, but I'd rather keep it that way.
Persona:
Being an Evo title and all, I'll make an effort to try get more active and back into the game. Unfortunately the turnout at SCR was kinda small. I didn't get very far, but I wasn't expecting too. My focus is the Sega Cup (assuming my work schedule isn't horrific) so after that I could put more focus into the game afterwards. Then a few weeks later, or rather sometime in May, GGAC+R comes out. Sooooo....I'm going to be all over that definitely. Depending on how I'm feeling about Persona by that time will determine whether I stick with it or not. Some matches were fun to watch at SCR, some not really. Chie still really bothers me for what it's worth. I feel like I could pick up the character, and do just as good as everyone else considering how easy it is to maintain corner pressure and shit. But that's another story. mreh
Tag 2:
As fun as the game is, it's most likely going to have to get sidelined in favor of the titles above. I'll still play it. But there's only one other person who will.
DOA:
Because of how little we've played the game, I haven't truly been able to develop a good understanding of the game. And considering the other titles mentioned above, it's probably going to be side-game status much like Tag 2. A huge patch is getting released on Tuesday but since I didn't really understand the game as well as others, I wouldn't know how the changes would affect me. But it's something else to think about.
Chaos Code:
This game never really took off. lol
AquaPazza:
What's this? Can I eat it? :mystery:
-
So our game priority is VF > P4A > whatever until +R comes out (at which point, for me, at least, it'll be +R > whatever)? I think I can deal with that. Makes it a bit easier to know what to focus on. A bit sad since DoA had (has?) an interesting update, but eh, whatever; I'll be relegating everything to side-game status when +R hits anyway.
There shouldn't be a problem with Sat unless I happen to get called in to cover a shift, which I don't think I'd turn down unless they called after midafternoonish. Earlier meet up (2-3ish?) seems like it might be best for just about everyone; I'll have to leave around 10-11.
-
all sounds good to me.
-
I'll try to be there closer to 3 and not be so late this time.
-
Good news, well for me at least. I just called work and got my new schedule. I still have weekends off. I honestly didn't think I'd get it considering my ranking, but I'm not complaining.
Anyway, since it sounds like we're all playing VF to an extent, everyone should take a look at this:
Anti Jacky Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wwynb6AG28
Starts about 10 minutes in. Kinda long but has a lot of good information. I find it kinda funny that an anti-character tutorial inadvertently taught me how to play the character. :psyduck:
Also, lol: http://youtu.be/fkWqaCUaow0?t=1m58s
Tempered's currently borrowing my copy of Persona until he picks it up again. Then I'll start putting in a little time Also, hit me up for BlOps 2 later today if you see this. Gotta make the most of dat double XP. :|
-
I like how K-ON's budget apparently tripled for the second season.
Sat or Sun works for me this week.
I really need to make some time to practice shit...
-
You practiced a lot of P4 last time. :V
I'd prefer Saturday as usual.
dippy, any word if juicebox wanted to do anything local for VF?
Lag switcher pt.2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE-fkYAslYQ
-
I mean outside the meetups. The bulk of my time's been going into work/class/TERA/reading/bass research, and probably reviewing music theory in the near future. And I kinda want to learn Liz because of how vocal some people have been about how bad she is. And VF...I should put more time into that.
-
Cut tera. problem solved. Also either day works for me. Today theres a chance ill be busy up until 4, but I dont have work so I can stay up late with you guy and we can have pillow fights or something. On a serious note Text/Call me or Text dippy before head over.
-
Late night today? That's cool. Haven't had those in a while. I don't have work tomorrow either. Pillow fights? Eh... :psyduck:
I mean outside the meetups. The bulk of my time's been going into work/class/TERA/reading/bass research, and probably reviewing music theory in the near future. And I kinda want to learn Liz because of how vocal some people have been about how bad she is. And VF...I should put more time into that.
I don't think Liz is a bad character, just that she has much less room for error than other characters due to her paper thin lifebar.
Since it's been a while, here are a few suggestions that I have for VF, more like small reminders:
- Hit up command training a few times. It's very easy to lose track of all your moves especially if you're playing a stance character.
- Combo training. Having a good combo is fine and dandy, but there are other ways to start combos. Learn a stable combo for the different starters you have. Don't worry about optimizing damage until later. Which brings also means...
- Learn a wall combo. Everyone can bring the pain when a wall comes into the picture. Seemingly low damage characters become high damage ones instantly. Thankfully it's very easy to set up wall combo scenarios in training.
- If you're playing against dippy any time today, learn Taka-specific combos/strings. lol Some strings are either better or worse against him due to his size and weight. I found it kinda fun to use him as the dummy in training mode because there's a lot of stuff to explore. It's kinda silly when you find some of the combos that do work against him and no one else.
- Create another costume? :V
I wanted to download the DOA5 patch but I heard there were issues with it but I don't remember what they were.
-
well i'm available now. plans were cancelled but I wanted some extra sleep :V ill probably practice a little VF before you guys head over though.
-
I'll see you guys later today. Probably going to try to be there between 2 and 3 and leave earlier than usual since you know, work the next morning. :|
There's something I wanted to briefly discuss since someone asked me this on on my ask.fm account but haven't taken the time to answer yet but I will soon. This came up when we were watching TTT2 grand finals but I never really got to say much about it. So a little food for thought. I don't believe there's anything wrong with playing a certain character because you like the character, but at the same time I kinda do. I feel like if you're playing a character just because you like the character, but they don't necessarily suit your playstyle, then you're only being a hindrance to yourself. Fighting games are math and science. There's a lot of numbers involved, and a lot of theory behind it. The way I see it is, if I don't like the way a character plays or their mechanics don't suit my mentality, I won't play them because I don't feel like I'm being effective or maximizing my potential. There's a trend in all the characters that I play, and there's reasoning behind it. Whether people think it's "boring" or any variant thereof is irrelevant. Though this tends to get a little hazy in 3D fighters due to how different they are from 2D ones, but even the characters I use have their similarities, albeit subtle. That's the way I see it. I had more to say about this but I've kinda blanked out atm, it's late.
Of course, that's just my opinion, and the try-hard within me talking. Fighting games are still games, and I haven't lost sight of what it means to enjoy a game on its own merit. Examples of these are the times when we're playing random matches, or when we did team swap matches in Tag 2. lol I was just feeling in a very analytical mood when I got back, but didn't really have much to say about it at the time. I tend to be in a very analytical mindset after the fact, which is why if you ask me during matches why I did what I did, I wouldn't be able to have an answer readily available for you. And I know this annoys some. :|
Going back to the idea of the pillow fights, I was reluctant until I saw the pillows that would be used. :V Thankfully no one saw my reaction. :mystery:
And VF...I should put more time into that.
*practices Liz combos for like 3-4 hours*
I didn't know Liz was in VF. Secret boss? Damn, now I'm scared. :bricks:
Sorry, I just happened to notice that. lol I need to brush off the rust in Persona as well so I'm guilty. Not that I play hard characters, it's just well, you know. :| I'd have an easier time with that than trying to brush off the rust in Melee. That rust is never going to go away for me at this point. :gonk:
I mean to say this while I was playing VF earlier but never got the chance:
I was trying to chill out today man. I had a long day. I got no sleep the night before. And now I've got this fatass. Dealing with his bullshit.
I know I requested the match, but still. :-\ All part of the learning process.
-
All I really have to say on that matter is that I will not play a character I don't like. We saw that in AH3; by all means, I should've been all over Maori given her playstyle, but I didn't like her personality (or lack thereof) and the aesthetics behind her playstyle, so Petra saw a lot more use. I think a large part of why it's hard to get me hype for VF is because I've known wooden planks and VN protagonists with more personality than the bulk of its cast. I think Lion is the only one with a shred of genuine personality; it's just a pity that 137% of said personality is "annoying little bitch". Compare to the Tekken characters I like: Lee/Violet (stylish ladies' man), Asuka (rough, weird combo of bro/quasi-authoritarian), Lili (prissy bitch), and Alisa (moe-moe robo-chan :V I mean...cheery ditz); or DoA characters: Ayane (pure bitch) and Bayman (pure badass)...and yeah, VF leaves me wanting. I generally don't really try to mold myself around a characters' playstyle either, though; if I character isn't fun for me to play, then I generally don't play them.
Also, H-F: "should" ≠ "will". And I did say that I wanted to learn Liz.

...moe-moe robo-chan...
It was all making sense until I read that, at which point I promptly stopped reading. You're just too anime my friend. :V
Considering what's been going on, of the many times we said we had little to no interest in playing SFxT, dippy was the first to defile his hands. lol Watch this 2013 update turn out to be nothing more than a placebo effect. Give it a few months or so. Truth be told I'd almost want to try it out if the teams I played in Tag 2 were available, but sadly they're not. :(
dippy can you link the most recent VF tier list? I'm curious to see how all the characters rank at this juncture. I HATE fighting Lion. HATE him. I think one time I just stood there and ate like, 2, maybe 3 2KKs in a row without doing anything. I wasn't paying attention. :psyduck:
In the interest of trying to plan ahead, what days would work best to meet up next weekend? I might have birthday stuff to attend to (not all my own mind you) around that time so I'd like to get an idea of what will work best. My actual birthday will continue to remain a mystery. :mystery:
-
Friday Saturday and Sunday all work for me really. Any day actually but whatever you guys want to do. well... Just not Thursday.
-
Sat/Sun should work for me unless I get called in.
And since I'm currently slated for Sun/Mon off, I won't have to bail early.
Working Sunday morning, but can still do Sat night if that works better for everyone else.
-
It's M19 from Homingcancel/Dustloop. Just sayin' "Hey"
-
Hiya
-
Tomorrow's looking really busy for me. Lots of driving around, and a birthday party to attend which will pretty much be the rest of my day. I'm ok to meet up on Sunday if everyone else is.
-
Works for me.
-
I won't be available Sat or Sun this weekend. Fri (or Mon...) works though.
-
Diamonds are forever.
And I didn't even need to mine for them!
I can do Friday if I can get out a little early. Monday doesn't work so well for me, but it might for everyone else. :|
-
Friday is fine with me. but Monday no for sure.
-
Scrap that, called in to work tonight.
-
Skip this weekend then? I mean we could meet up monday but ill probably be a bit grumpy and HF might not be able to make it. Could make it a date with dippy! :nyoro:
-
I just got off work. I can still meet up with the rest of you guys just to pass the time since it's Friday and all. But Monday is most likely not going to work out for me. :-\
Tempered: txt me when you get back so I know when it's ok to head over.
-
I'm working late Sat/Sun this weekend, so yeah, I'm scrapping it. For next week, Mon/Wed/Fri are looking to be the days I'll be free; not sure about Sunday yet.
-
It's Monday, and surprisingly I'm available today if everyone else is. :V Got an early out due to weird scheduling and stuff.
-
I have a couple of errands to run and Tempered has work until... well... now, and both of us have work tomorrow. So if you want to come early and leave early, sure.
-
Fri/Sun look like they'll work for me this week, though if everyone wants to meet up on Sun, I probably won't show till after 5 due to Matsuri.
-
I'll be able to do Sunday since I'll be busy on Friday.
-
GGs yesterday in GG and DoA, good shit in KoF :V I keep telling myself I'm not going to get into GG again until +R, and then I spent a few hours yesterday refining and playing with new shit for Venom; most of which won't be viable anymore since FB freeze ball effect doesn't exist in +R.
-
It was kinda funny when Tempered came out and said it sounded like we were playing some anime game during DoA. lol It wasn't an anime game, I just had Kasumi set to be the announcer. :V No bias there. The highlight of my time playing was landing that random flip kick from like half a screen away. I kept getting thrown during those counters because it's that old habit I have of trying to break out of stuns VF-style, ie. hold guard button and mash directions. If we end up playing again next weekend, I'll try to prepare and go through command training again so I can remember moves. :-\
-
I wish to prepare for +R and P4U. So I guess I didnt help with that. Anyways ive noticed I tend to play characters with stupid damaging loops. Sion has j.[c] loop. Naoto has SMP. Jam has midscreen and corner loops. I guess maybe I really like to play by myself :V
-
I guess maybe I really like to play by myself :V
And I'm a closet rapist. Also, the sky is blue, life on Earth is carbon-based, and H-F likes scumbag characters.
Friday/Monday for me again.
-

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit. My characters in 3D fighters are LOW tier!
I'd prefer tomorrow over Monday.
-
Tier placement has nothing to do with it.
On a somewhat related note, with Chizuru banned in the Western competitive scene, who wants to play AP??? :laffo:
-
It has EVERYTHING to do with it. Sorry, but I don't play characters like Lars/Leo, Lion, or Jann Lee. :psyduck:
Regarding Chizuru being banned, even if that is the case, I STILL don't think you would really want to play AP. :V And I dunno why, that discussion about banning Chizuru brought a Mishima smile to my face strangely enough. Why would I need to play the game to kill it? At this rate, the game is going to kill itself with nonsense like this. My work has been cut out for me.
-
Ill play AP. My character is still fine and balanced apparently.
Friday is what I would prefer.
-
Why would I need to play the game to kill it? At this rate, the game is going to kill itself with nonsense like this. My work has been cut out for me.
Too late, I already killed it :laffo: :laffo: :laffo:
-
Too late, I already killed it :laffo: :laffo: :laffo:
I was right! My work WAS cut out for me! The best work, is the kind you get others to do for you. Thank you for that. :toot:
Been a while since someone from outside AZ ventured in here. I think it was Numakie, not really sure.
-
So, what time's good for everyone today?
-
3 is fine
-
Any plans for this weekend?
-
What is planning? lol
I was going to ask about this myself but never got around to it. Knowing that we're overstaffed at work, I'll probably get out early and be available later today if everyone happens to be ok with meeting up today. :V
We need to find a day that would be good for continuing the Let's Play series of titles that we used to do a while back. :|
I just got another schedule change but it doesn't change my days off, which are still on the weekends.
-
Plans today, working till 7pm tomorrow (wouldn't get there till around 8, not worth it since lightweights pass out around 11), and Sunday... :mystery: I'll get back to you on that tomorrow night.
-
Not so sure if I'll be available for Sunday. Other possible plans and my shift starts a bit earlier on Monday due to the time change. :-\
-
I can stay up on saturdays. :bricks:
-
I'd be ok with tomorrow since I can stay up late on Saturdays as well. :| Maybe we can continue whatever was being Let's Played last time we did it.
-
Alright, fine; whether or not I show tomorrow will depend on when/if I'm working on Sunday. If it's an early morning shift, then I won't show; if it's afternoon/night, I'll put an appearance, but you bitches better be able to hang till at least 1-2.
-
Well getting up at 5... 4 as of tommorow makes one hate staying up.
-
Which is why I was saying there wasn't much point =T Total driving time: 1 hour; time for games and/or food: 2~3 hours...nah, not really worth it, especially since games always seem really iffy after dinner. I'll wait till next week; I'm off on Sat, so it can be a proper session.
-
Playing as Carlos's waifu in the NG3 Razor's Edge demo. :V I can hear him yelling at me "GOD H-F YOU'RE SUCH A SCRUB! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY AYANE!" :psyduck:
BlOps 2 is getting a little TOO anime now. Kawaii weapon camo pack? Unfortunately I'm not making that up. It'd seem like a great way to troll people though every time they saw their killcam.
Also, from what I understand, Saturday should work for meeting up this week?
-
I think the only FGC I could claim to be my waifu is Akiha because of the bullshit playstyle I made for her. I don't really have an absolute favorite character in DoA; on a character/personality basis, I like Ayane, Leifang, Helena, Bayman, and Zack (yes, Zack). Kasumi also gets a mention for her backstory.
So far, Sat's looking good.
-
So I just got told ill be working manditory overtime tomorrow :bricks:
-
I guess that means we won't be staying up late today? :|
-
Earlier meetup today then? What time?
-
I can still stay up. Just not till like 2 in the morning. The OT is only for like 4 hours.
-
I suppose we can still technically cut it close, just not quite until 2. :V What was the last series we were Let's Playing? It's been so long I forgot. :|
I just remembered, here's that site with all the TTT2 frame data that I mentioned last week: http://rbnorway.org/ttt2-frame-data/
I'll try to be there around 4-ish or so.
-
So we still care about Tekken, then? :nyoro:
-
I'll play it, can't say the same about everyone else though. Haven't played it in ages so eh. We all know how tight people get playing that game. That site came to mind because last week when we were watching Savage Saturdays, they weren't able to stream the Tag 2 grand finals because of technical issues. GM was probably gonna take it anyway because he was gonna stop hop kicking. :laffo: I've been in a casual mood lately anyway.
If we can be there somewhat late, do I need to bring my PS2 for whatever it is we were playing last time? :V
-
I already have mine packed up, so no.
-
Ill play tekken as well. Though I kind of want to play P4 today.
-
Ok so I don't need to bring my PS2 then. Good because I can't find my power adapter. :psyduck:
-
GGs today. I need to stay refreshed on these games; forgetting too much shit due to not touching the games in forever. Oddly enough, I was brushing up on Tekken stuff before heading over, then ended up playing P4 the whole time :bricks:
Good shit to H-F for blowing my mind today. No offense, but I honestly didn't peg you as the type to give a shit about anything music-related that didn't originate from an awesome game soundtrack (Castlevania, etc.) Not that identifying Guns 'n Roses is anything huge, but when Tempered can't peg the bands and he openly likes rock, and Dippy actively trying not to so he can hide how old he is... And in all fairness, you've never responded once to Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, etc.; so going all "hey, I know that band"... :psyduck:
Tempered = Yui is not a connection I was hoping to make tonight. Ugh.
Dippy = Sawako. I can totally see that.
(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3Y27nyvRFzwJfKQ9bTQOYpy9dXjXp-GU4cOJAXFYgg3M4ubCJ)
-
Yeah ive been kind of trying to cycle the games we play to keep myself refreshed as well.
-
Hey guys, let's all play LoL. :bricks:
I kind of feel bad, feeling kind of responsible for the lack of direction from us for a while. Then again, maybe that's the point. I don't have much of a problem with people coming by and doing not much in particular in honest.
I think, on my end the problem is I learn games the same way I play them -- that and I have the mentality that you can't play a fighting game casually and enjoy it... not initially, at least.
If the forum was more active, I have a feeling we would be all switching to K-On avatars. :gonk:
-

Dippy = Sawako. I can totally see that.
A compliment? Whoah now, I must have done something wrong here :V j/k lol I recognized the songs because I remember hearing them some time ago, and people used them for certain videos. Plus the Mega Man series making references to the band, etc. I suppose music just isn't something that I discuss very often, let alone provide insight as to what kind of music I listen to. :-X
Funny how you said you were brushing up on Tekken but ending up playing P4 the entire time, when it was the other way around for me, though I did actually play P4 matches. :V The thing is, when Tempered mentioned P4 yesterday, I got the bright idea of practicing a little before heading over so I wouldn't get wrecked. Then I realized that Tempered still has my copy. :gonk:
Good shit to Tempered for playing Tekken with me and neither of us getting aggravated. That's probably a first. :-\ If anything we were laughing at a lot of the silliness that happened, namely the amazing camera work. I don't play Kaz, I just wanted to joke around with him after seeing that tutorial and the author's funny way of pronouncing PEWGF. lol In training mode I was going random select practicing combos I'm never gonna use. :|
also, for Tempered: http://youtu.be/838TtfKd6WQ
dippy I know you wanted to play some VF, but I just wasn't in the right mindset for it. I've been thinking about this for some time as well, but ever since Melty stopped being the focus, things just haven't been the same. As stated a while ago, every one of us will play a certain game but not some others. I don't suppose anything can really be done about that. Can't enjoy playing fighters casually, well initially? Well you guys were playing KOF: MIRA some time ago, don't tell me those were SUPER srsbsnss matches. If that's what it comes down to, I think we've really lost it. :slowpoke: But overall I've just been playing FGs casually for the most part. It's why I didn't get too upset after not having played P4 in a while and actually being able to laugh while playing Tekken. Also, I know what game you were talking about and trying to get me to play. tbh, I've seen it and it's a beat 'em up that looks like a decent game, though I can't say the same about the game the cast is originally from. But I do intend to get it at some point, dunno when, but I need achievement points. I do NOT have a waifu. wtf man. >:(
Which kinda leads into my next thought. shoutouts to wanting to tie me up to get me to watch K-On. Sorry, but I'm just not anime enough. :'( Maybe someday. Maybe. From what I could overhear, everyone else is like one of the characters from that series...except me. And if that's the case, I'm safe.
-
Hey, I go into every match of games like MIRA and F/UC full-on srsbsnss, like it's the last one I'll ever play >:( Mostly because I never know when I'll be able to con someone into playing them again :V
It's really only Tempered that is accurately personified in K-On. Yui is a lazy ass, a slut for free food, never has money, and has a weird ass train of thought. If that isn't an accurate description of Tempered, I don't know what is.
-
Sat might work for me this week, though I won't make it till 7ish; I'll post for sure tomorrow.
The word of the day is "juxtapose".
Edit: Tempered, get this ready for next time we have time for random games:
http://vgboy.dabomstew.com/other/ib.htm
-
I'm sorry Ryd, I had to edit the name. It was breaking the goddamn template.
That's one way to live life, play every game like it's your last... because when the game is dead, it probably is. :gonk:
-
That's a shame. It wasn't intentional, but after I saw it, I thought breaking the template fit the name perfectly.
I can do today and meet around 4-5, or tomorrow or Sunday and not make it till around 7.
-
I kinda like how it spilled over into the thread title with each post though I'm curious as to why the name chance to something like...that. Though I'm afraid to ask why because there's a big angry black man pointing at me. :-X
I'm ok with tomorrow. Probably be there around 4-ish or so.
-
whatever works
-
I guess I'll be there after work.
-
so whats going on this weekend since nobody is going to FR
-
Tomorrow works for me, but I'll probably be tired as hell. Sunday will probably be an option, too, since I'm a heathen and whatnot.
-
Only tomorrow would work for me since I'm attending a family dinner on Sunday night. :-X
-
I think one of ya'll might've taken a controller to many.
-
I didn't take any since I didn't bring any, so it seems H-F has moved beyond power cables.
-
whoops my bad. :nyoro: Just checked my bag and I did end up with an extra controller. Unless one of you jerks decided to stick it in there just to pin it on me. The power cable used last night is one that I brought though.
Tag 2 was fun last night. Think it's the first time we all played without exploding or anything.
Highlights:
- whiffing Dragon Kick point blank in a possible balcony break combo. The game should have just considered that a self ringout and started the next round.
- Start of the round Can-Can beating out first hit of Acid Rain at the start position. :laffo:
- "FINALLY got it" wall combos
- Raged Law f,f+3 clean hit doing 60%+ on a raw tag in. Yo uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh!!! :-X
- Getting hit by 2 or 3 unblockables or something. :-\
- launch > d/b+4,3~5 followups. I kinda like that. Gonna try to fiddle around with it more.
One day I'm gonna punish Tooth Fairy with Tooth Fairy again. :-\
-
I knew it! :nyoro:
Don't worry about it; you can just bring it back (along with the power cables you keep taking) next time.
Just for planning purposes: the Sega Cup is on the 20th, and I would like to leave on the 19th as there is a team tournament Friday night at Super Arcade.
-
Time off approved
-
Something came up at work that really interferes with my ability to attend Sega Cup. I have the chance to move to another department, and the training is during the week of the 15th, which is the same week as Sega cup. I only found out about this today, and my team manager needs to know my decision soon. I dunno what my schedule will be like if I accept, but if I don't get to keep weekends off, then I might decline. We'll see.
-
Sat's looking like a go for me. If all goes well, I might actually be awake this time.
-
Carlos. Tell me where I might obtain the majikoi VN.
-
Which one?
-
First one.
-
.....
can-can
:laffo:
-
WL 1 > can-can. The more you know.
-
But it doesn't track. :V
Also, mid crushes?
:laffo:
-
Regarding Sega cup, the training class for the new department at work starts next Monday, and the exam is on Friday (19th) but the thing is, I'm told the exam isn't going to take all day, and that they might let us out early because of that. Though how early I have no idea. What time would we need to be there Friday? I have to decide very soon. :|
-

Thankfully, the team tournament starts pretty damn late: it's at 9 PM, and there's some leeway there between TST and arrangements I can have made. Worst case is that we can't make it in time for the team tournament, and that's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things -- the main event does not start until Saturday. So if you're good to leave Friday, we're straight. However, I would get pre-registered ASAP (http://segacup2013.eventbrite.com) -- if you are reading this, you are coming with me and you have not signed up, I would do so now.
-
Hosting today as usual if people want to come over.
-
I'm gonna make a new avatar out of this ~@4:37.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_j_n-UQ2Ow
-
999 was written by the creator of Ever 17 :fap: Totally called that shit during a particular ending (and confirmed like 10 seconds later). Was not expecting that when I picked it up.
-
It's like MB isn't a dead game anymore :slowpoke: Should I start practicing this shit again?
-
The front page post feed is flooded with replies regarding the new netplay client. Let's see how long this lasts. I feel inclined to give MBAACC another shot after Sega Cup, but GGAC+R sounds like it could be here soon, and I'm not referring to the Vita version.
Unfortunately I couldn't take a snapshot from the previous video and resize it to a resolution I was content with. :-\
dippy if you didn't get my tweet from before, I can definitely go to the Sega Cup. We just need to finalize all the travel plans and everything else.
-
I may not be available Saturday night. Would Friday/Sunday work for anyone?
-
Sunday, preferably.
-
I am the saddest right now. F-Sacchin lost her shield into sideswap combo with ghetto Arcana corner mixup:
(in corner) D, 236D, 236[A] (hop out of corner), 2C, 3C, 623[A] j[C], dj, j[C] (used to land back in the corner here) 2C, 3C, 623A (throws them into corner back-turned)
Why would they take that away?
-
Your new user icon sums up how you feel about that. :V I'll try to play a little MB this weekend.
In other news, I got accused of using a modded controller. wwwwwww :laffo:
-
Don't feel too pressured, I'm still playing around with a lot of characters.
Playing F-Archetype outside of training mode immediately reminded me of why I stopped playing her.
I might put more time into C-Aoko for the sake of hype combos if nothing else.
F-Sacchin...still deciding if it's worth it to keep playing her. I should probably put some real time into her if I do, rather than running the same 3 gimmicks. I'm really sad about that corner sideswap combo though.
I'll wait on Nero until they decide to buff him so that his animals can take a hit for him :V
I won't be dropping F-Akiha because she is still functional, but I am incredibly salty that she loses out on damage when she actually uses her full kit in elaborate setups :emo: I want to put real time into C, but those normals...
-
I'll wait on Nero until they decide to buff him so that his animals can take a hit for him :V
That would make him the best character in the game. Hes already top. Just play him already.
-
If Nero's animals took a hit for him I would quit playing (well, moreso than I already have).
You shitheads should come by sometime; what am I going to do with all of this netplay technology?
-
No, I love it when people accuse me of using modded controllers. lol Also, I see you've been playing some Injustice. Is Deathstroke killing the game as badly as the complaints are saying? :V We should invest time into our alts in VF if we're gonna get any better.
-
Where did you get accused HF?
Also for VF I would probably pick up Kage as an alt.
And those arcana crossups got fixed for the most part carlos. Backturn doesnt equal free corner crossup.
-
I got accused while playing BlOps 2. Some guy sent me a message supposedly reporting me for using a modded controller because I can shoot the FAL stupidly fast. Looking at theater mode, it does kinda look modded but only because theater mode does lag a bit and when it's not, it kinda runs faster than it should. But either way... :laffo: Next time you're online, you can find it on my player channel. It's a TDM match on Vertigo.
-
Covering a short shift at work; I'll probably be over between 6:30 and 7:30, so don't feel obligated to wait for me for food.
-
Me: "Thank you wall for sucking ass. Look. The people back there agree."
Me: "You've overstayed your welcome. Please exit as soon as possible via the balcony."
Me: *wall splat KO* "Go to the bar and take a load off."
dippy: "What's bad about my costumes?"
Carlos: "Why don't we start with what's good about them?"
dippy: "Why is your team so Asian?"
Me: *facepalm.jpg* :-[
-
To be fair, Dippy has a (criminal) record when it comes to costumes. That Pyrrha outfit in SC5 should never have existed.
-
lol oh god, THAT. I didn't even have the willpower to look at the screen again after I first saw it. I was traumatized.
-
I enjoyed it!
-
Nobody complains* when I play VF with a very similar outfit!
*To THAT extent, anyway. Geesh!
-
I hate you both.
-
I hate you both.
You already did, though. So nothing changed!
Honestly, I would just chalk it up to the fact that both Tempered and myself are white.
-
so people coming over today or tomorrow or not at all?
-
I'm leaving right now. :|
-
That work thing. I was asked to stay late today, nobody had posted anything here yet, so I said "fuck it" and took the extra pay. Probably wouldn't have had a whole lot of time over there anyway since Tempered/Dippy are lightweights on Saturdays.
-

See, you say this and we ended up playing until MB until 2 in the morning! Hah! Although I can't really hate on making it make money.
For H-F: For Evo, you would need to request Thursday (7/11) to Monday (7/15) off. Don't know if you can do that, but there it is.
-
Yeah I don't think that's going to work out, because iirc, I'm supposed to be in Vegas the weekend AFTER Evo for my mom's b-day. I'll have to check on that again. But being able to take off that many days at work for 2 back-to-back trips to Vegas is highly unlikely and I don't know what my schedule will be like then either. If I can't make it, I won't fret because I haven't truly been excited for Evo since 2010 for obvious reasons. Everything just fell into place that year.
I still love MB, but the fire I once had for it just isn't the same. Last night was very sloppy, but still fun. Looking at all the games we play/have played, it's the one that we can all agree on. Everything else, we're pretty divided.
-
Hey, we all agree Tekken is bullshit, and we all play it anyway :V
-
Well we did for some time, but "all" no longer applies anymore. I think you and I would be the only ones for that game now.
-
Welp, EO4 came in the mail today. There goes FG practice...
-
GGs time.
So lets make plans for this weekend. Like should we go to Lollicup again or not.
-
Won't be here since I'll be out of town. See you guys the following weekend.
-
So far it looks like I should be able to make it tomorrow unless something unexpected comes up. If we want to do anything, anyway; seems like it may be a sorry ass night. Maybe get Dippy to stream himself running Trapt, or Tempered playing Silent Hill or Oddworld or something.
Lol nvm, asked to work tonight.
-
Awww. Now I'm all alone with dippy. :bricks:
-
lol :psyduck:
I arrive back in Phoenix tomorrow morning. Hop into BlOps 2 with me tomorrow. It's double XP weekend again.
-
On the bright side, this coming Sat should be guaranteed.
-
Approaching the end of EO4's story. I'm also approaching the soft level cap. I wasn't even deliberately grinding; not really sure how that happened :bricks: I think I was mid~late 50s when I hit the end of EO3's story; I'm mid~late 60s in 4.
Also, what the fuck are we playing nowadays? So I can pretend to practice before heading over this weekend and stuff.

Damn, you've been banging that game out. I got it when it came out and I'm only on the fourth stratum or some shit. It is a lot easier to level up in 4 though (rare monsters + holy gift = lolz).
As for games, just pick one (although should I really be giving you that choice?). H-F last week said he wanted to play AH3 again....
-
What. The best and worst that could happen is we play F/UC. I don't have AH3, not really feeling up to shelling out the cash for it given its current state plus the ever-growing grocery list of things I actually want to buy (surprisingly, not too many Idea Factory games. Then again, I think I have most of them at this point :V). Not sure what I'll end up doing. P4A/Tekken/DoA/MB. Maybe SC. Can't threaten Mahvel until you guys give me reason to. That threat is still active btw.
I think I just killed what equates to Alraune in EO4. Either this game is way easier than 3, or I just happened to run with a busted party this time around (my first EO3 party was low~mid tier; Alraune kicked my ass the first couple times); the poor boss had all of two turns to try to inflict any damage before it got completely locked down and killed. Or maybe it was targeted at being challenging around lv 55ish or so; where the game probably expects me to be. Was on level for 2nd stratum, around 5 levels ahead in the 3rd, and then 13 levels in the 4th :psyduck:
-
lol I said I wanted to play it, but getting people to actually play it with me is another story. And I wouldn't even recommend buying AH3 at this point especially if it's still $30. Haven't been on the PSN store lately so I wouldn't really be able to tell, but ever since the store change, I've been doing my absolute best to avoid it at every possible turn. But most of the players are online nowadays and burning cash just to play 1 person isn't worth it, especially when said person can provide the copy possibly once a week (the only time any of us play fighters nowadays). I mean I could lend out my disc copy, but I'm a bit hesitant because of how much it was. I honestly don't think dippy would lend me his copy of AP IF (big IF here) I actually wanted to training mode it up. lol Also, who knows when AC+R console is coming out. :mystery: Seems like it's been forever since we all last met up.
If I can't get anyone to play AH3 with me, I'm up for VF/Tekken/MB. I still don't have my copy of P4A, and I'd honestly be in more of a DoA mood if I had played NG3:RE lately.
When it comes to what games to play, everyone will play X game, but one person won't play it for Y reason. Shady alliances all-around. And there are certain games (fighting or otherwise) that some just despise. In dippy's case, Idea Factory Games. Start playing a game they really hate and it's likely to get on their case. :laffo:
When can we go back to Let's Plays? :|
-
We can do simultaneous Let's Plays of Idea Factory games :teach: It'd have to be Agarest War Zero/2 though, because Dippy would probably break my copy of Neptunia 1 on sight, and doing the PSP games would be impractical (and there are better PSP games, like Corpse Party). Alternatively, we can get Tempered to run Ib or Silent Hill 2. There's also Fatal Frame 3 if you guys insist, but my interest in that really did tank harder than this group's interest in Chaos Code... Or I could scope Gamestop bargain bins for gems. Or the Hitman live action movie :V I've actually seen that one a couple times, but couldn't justify buying it used for $5.99 when Wal-Mart had it new for $5. Catherine may also be fun if anyone in the group (Tempered, H-F) haven't played it yet, though given Tempered's relationship skills (as seen in Indigo Prophecy), maybe we shouldn't... I honestly didn't think you guys enjoyed those so much. You always seemed kinda "do we have to?", and now that they've stopped, you ask why we don't do them anymore. Tsundere bitches.
I can wait for +R because waiting means I have time to get the really time consuming games (SMT, EO, etc.) out of my system before I have to relearn Testament.
Edit: EO4 story done. Time for a NG+ run with retired lv 1 crew; gotta experiment with the other classes.
-
Hey! I'm not tsundere about anything! :-X
The thing about Let's Play, is that we need to set a specified time on when to start them. We just get so caught up in whatever we're playing that it gets sidetracked and we never get around to it. I partly blame this on whenever there's a stream of a tournament displayed on the TV as well. I'd say finish Fatal Frame 3 just so we can wrap up the series. And you passed up the Hitman live action movie when it was $5 again? Why? Speaking of Hitman, Absolution was on the list, and I think that game is $20 now, so there we go. I think the live action movie would be a good segway into a playthrough of Absolution. lol Regarding Catherine, I've seen a lot of the game being played by other people failing at it a lot so I don't think it would be the greatest idea.
-
Don't leave picking the FGs to me, or else you're going to be playing VF5:FS and CC all night (which CC? take a guess :V ).
This is a bad time to be avoiding FG streams though, as there's an event happening every weekend between now and Evo, pretty much. As for a game for someone to play through, there's always one game I wanted to see someone play -- that and it's probably the best "good bad" game I have ever played in my life. But it's a se~cr~et~
-
If you want your copy of P4 back just let me know.
As for games im most interested in P4/MB/VF. Id be up for doing lets plays again but my sleep schedule has me tired by 10 because im usually up at 4am.
-
Gonna be there around 5 or so.
-
Almost lapped Dippy in EO4. I think I might take a break and get to my backlog of PSP games (virtually all IF games + that Black Rock Shooter game that was localized). Or finish my 100% Agarest War files (lol...). Or say "fuck it" and wrap this shit up; still have to get that 6th stratum out of the way once I wrap up the 4th segment. Might consider working an Imperial into the party somehow, but this Nightseeker/Sniper/Landshark combo is pretty nice.
Shoutouts to MB last weekend, and H-F for getting salty as fuck. I think C-Nanaya would be better for that matchup, not even counting all the random shit that was happening.
-
Carlos,
FUCK YOU.
good games man
FUCK!
Goddammit. >:(
I'll be ready next time, and by that I mean I'm not gonna practice. :-X Too much random shit was happening among other things that I just couldn't really adjust to. At those hours, I may be awake but not focused. Not like I did atrociously bad, but, lessons learned.
And dippy do something about the wiring in your stick. I saw "Please reconnect controller" fuckin' messages so many times that I'm expecting it to appear on my screen frequently whenever I'm on my 360 now. EVERY time I hear the notification sound that's what I keep thinking I'll see. :-\
What day would work best for everyone this weekend? It's a 3-day weekend, for me at least but I'd stick to the usual Saturday since I might be busy Sunday, at least earlier in the day.
Also, my new sig is amazing. A fair number of other people agree.
-
Sat for me.
Also, Dippy, tests have been done, Fan Dance is overwritten by both versions of Speed Boost. And you might already know about this, but http://www.intothelabyrinth.net/etrianodyssey4/index.php (http://www.intothelabyrinth.net/etrianodyssey4/index.php) has a mostly complete skill sim toward the bottom of the page (the one for Windows) that's only really missing things like ailment/bind affliction chances.
-
Fuck it; I put in a request for leave for Evo, we're playing P4A this weekend. In addition to MB or whatever else we may get going, but I definitely want to have some time set aside for that.
-
fine with me
-
I think I left my PS3 controller there last weekend. Not that it's a big deal since I didn't notice it until now. :psyduck:
-
"Even when I win, I still feel like I lost" The late-night Melty effect :laffo:
GGs today. MVP goes to F-Akiha's 2C. Maybe it's just my biased memory, but I don't remember it being such a pain in the ass for you, H-F.
-
Who knew that the meteors that are the most dangerous are the ones that never hit you in the first place? :slowpoke:
Also, you know what didn't get left here? The money H-F owes me from Sega Cup! aaaaaAAAAAaaaaa

GGs of course. 2C has ALWAYS been annoying but for whatever dumb reason it hasn't really gotten to me until now. It's not like it's any different than it was before and it's nothing new. It seems like the little things are getting to me which wasn't the case before. It was another late night and like I said before, I may be awake but not necessarily focused and I start playing very reckless. Plus there were times where I saw the EXACT same sequence like 3 times in a row yet failed to respond correctly to punish or escape. You were kinda getting upset at the game too, just not being as vocal about it as I was. lol GGs in Tag 2 as well. For whatever reason I think I actually landed the unscale combo at the wall with a perfect success rate which never really happens. Though there were a lot of missed opportunities for optimal punishes. Also, accidental low parries and bootleg slide punishes. :laffo: Good punishes on double flip kick though, ie. the times I decided not to recover crouching after a single flip kick. :V PLEASE punish Tooth Fairy and Laws' WS+2. :-\

Don't you mean http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/ ?
I have it and it's been sitting in my wallet ever since. I'll be sure to leave it there next time...in a place where you'll have a hard time finding it. >:D j/k
-
Aww, leave it to me to visit this site the day after a melty blood tourney in my state....
Aw well.
-
Here in AZ? No we just meet up every week and play games. Melty Blood + random.
-
Oh?
Is that so...
Where area's do you guys usually meet up?
Somewhere public, or someones house?
Like there's a smash bros project M group that meets up in Tempe at this place called Gaming Zone weekly-ish.
-
It's just a few of us that play MB (and a whole host of other random crap) about once a week or so, at my place.
-
Oh darn.
If it was a public place I might have shown up :p
-
Games are games; you get them in wherever you can.
Sunday's the only good day for me this weekend. Unless I get called in then :V
-
Potentially dumb question: Where can I buy Current Code?
-
Find someone selling it, or the whole package it was a bonus in, on ebay or amazon, probably horrendously overpriced.
-
Huh. Well, that's very... encouraging to see. Debating if it's worth it now, lol.
And need an avatar.
-
There are more cost-effective ways to obtain it, but obviously they can't be discussed here.
-
Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to buy legit at this point. So... well... yeah. :\
I can't even remember the last time we had a new player. OK, that's a lie, that was back from when Akujiki was still in the US. But still....
As for Sunday, that's fine.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Uz0d4N4jJEw#t=2975s
Death by fabulous or something. I don't know what I think about that character. I don't know why I'm watching CP vids, either. Oh right, I started off watching GG, then moved to MB, then decided to watch that when I got sick of the lack of fun characters in videos.
-
CP vids...why would you torture yourself like that? :bricks:
Not too sure if I'll be available this weekend. :-\
-
Deciding to watch the anime that the game would supposedly come with, see if that wavers my decision to buy it once more money comes in. I'm all for supporting games/companies, but that doesn't stop the prices from being brutal. Time will tell.
-
Oh no. you brought up that which should not be mentioned.
-
I think he was referring to Carnival Phantasm.
-
Yea, Melty Blood comes with BluRay of Carnival Phantasm 3rd Season.
I have no idea what Tempered is talking about...
-
Few hours in the P4A lab; my Yukiko gameplan is slowly becoming more and more like a WoW assassination rogue.
-
Yea, Melty Blood comes with BluRay of Carnival Phantasm 3rd Season.
I have no idea what Tempered is talking about...
eeeeh, you don't want to. :V
-
Any updates on if you can make it tomorrow, H-F?
-
If I can get all my usual weekend tasks done within a reasonable time, then possibly. If I do, then I won't be staying super late because of work the next day.
-
So where do you guys meet up? I can't promise I can show up every time, but I wouldn't mind more Melty in my system.
-
Dippy's, usually on whatever day in the weekend H-F and I are free.
-
Heading over for gheymes.
-
GGs. I feel like we probably should've streamed MB. It wasn't too bad, all things considered, barring a few situations that kept repeating themselves.
-
Well then tell dippy to set that shit up. Anyways sorry about knocking out so soon but I was super tired and just didn't get a lot of sleep over the weekend. GGs in persona.
-
Any of you assjacks coming by this weekend?
-
I'll be there tomorrow.
-
I'll most likely be there this time around.
-
GGs guys.
Melty was fun.
Chaos Code was (lolzy) fun.
DoA5 late at night was fun and pretty relaxing.
Talking about my (0%) anime levels because of my DoA character selection was NOT fun. >:(
-
You could have chosen a ninja in:
-Standard fighting game attire
-Acceptable ninja attire
-Casual clothes
You chose:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/shoot_the_works/th_359b2f96-1aa6-43c8-81f0-48647e1ffac6.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/shoot_the_works/media/359b2f96-1aa6-43c8-81f0-48647e1ffac6.jpg.html)
I've arrived at the conclusion that H-F's anime levels are actually infinite; they just appear to many to be zero because the concept of infinity is so difficult for people to truly grasp.
-
Dude, I DID choose acceptable ninja attire......the last time we played. :V
I chose, who? I don't remember seeing THAT character last night. :-X
I think everyone else has a clear idea of what zero really means. It sounds like you need to re-educated in the definition of the number 0 my friend. And since I'm such a nice guy, I'll do it for free.
From the official dictionary:
- the figure or symbol 0, which in the Arabic notation for numbers stands for the absence of quantity; cipher.
- naught; nothing
- the lowest point or degree.
There you go. I get the feeling this is going to be, if it isn't already, a near weekly thing now. :|
-
I'm not buying that for a second. You intentionally put your PS3 in so you could play with those outfits -- not knowing that the PS3 I had plugged in has all of the DLC anyway!
Have fun with your meganekko sailor scout necomimi moe ninjas, H-F.
-

Besides, I'M not the one who was trying to get everyone else to play Shin Koihime Musou, right? Riiiiiiiiight. I'm not that guy.
I'm well aware of what's on your PS3. The only reason we used mine is because it was much faster than navigating the maze in your PS3. Besides, I didn't want to run into some self-destruct program that would have wiped the hard drive clean in case it fell into the wrong hands.
-
Thats what I forgot to do. Bug people about SKM. oh well.
-
No need. Melty was around.
-
Strangely, I'm sub-consciously learning what to do and what not to do around you guys despite that most of it just goes right over my head.
-
Do what you want. You'll leak your secret hobbies anyway; everyone does. If it's something to be called out on, you'll be called out on it. But it's all in good fun. Unless it's something like Dippy's and Tempered's preference in custom outfits, because those are generally beyond redemption.
-
^This. One of those semi-rare occasions when we agree on something. Their taste in custom costumes is just hideous. yeeesh man. That and they might bug us to play SKM. :V But usually it's all in good fun.
Strangely, I'm sub-consciously learning what to do and what not to do around you guys despite that most of it just goes right over my head.
All you need to know, well about me at least, is that my sig tells the whole story about how I relate to the other guys and everyone else. From a credible source too. :-X
-
I'm guessing SKM isn't the popular choice then. I remember seeing a poster/announcement for it, though.
But sounds like fun. Once classes are over, I'll put in more effort to meet up with you guys at least once.
-
Sunday this week. Forgot Sunday is Father's Day. There's a good chance I'll be busy, so nvm.
In other news, I'd have never expected a PVC of Metal Slug's Fio...
Edit: Fucking combo videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1rhnmFiziXo#t=147s) almost making me think Linkin Park doesn't suck. At least they have a third song now. And how have I missed that video for 9 months???
-
Not too sure if I'll be available this weekend.
In other FG news,
Played a bit of Tekken Revolution the past couple days. No bounds in most combos doesn't bother me all that much. But man, these invincible moves are pretty silly. You'll encounter people who mash it on wakeup constantly. Thankfully they're launch punishable but still it can really slow down the pacing of the game significantly as it can really disrupt a lot of pressure sequences. I'm not a fan of this rpg-style level up system either. You can't really go wrong with upgrading power which is what most people do. Then you have endurance which increases critical hit rate and gives you rage sooner. So damage gets pretty retarded fast. Upgrading endurance seems to do very little overall. I also dislike this coins and golden ticket system. No training mode or offline vs kinda blows too. But I guess you can't expect too much from a f2p game early on. I mean they announced the game 3 days before its release and I suspect that's more or less how long it took for them to put this together. Also, the hue and contrast on most of the stages make no sense. The school stage looks like it got nuked and sounds like it has wild west music playing in the background. :-\
DoA5U
Returning characters: Ein, Leon
New Characters: Momiji & Rachel (Ninja Gaiden series)

New and returning stages.
And as per updates.....MORE costumes. :-X
Release date is sometime in September iirc.
-
Sadface at SLab reverse j214B being a guaranteed floorbounce on Chie only. Too much of a pain in the ass for consistency on most characters, impossible on others. Hilarious on Chie though, because pretty much any hit turns into worst-case-scenario SLab oki.
-
That reverse j214b stuff is hilarious.
Guess there wont be a meetup this weekend. oh well. :bricks:
-
Figuring out how to get the reverse j214A/B to cause the ground bounce on Liz off 2C; seems impossible in jBB combos. Not sure what voodoo I need to get it to work on Naoto. Still have to do more testing Yukiko and Mitsuru, as those were the other characters that ate it in various setups in the vid.
Something fun that I took away from the video: reverse j214A/B vacuums on block. With Asterius and a OMC, that's some bullshit to have to deal with in the corner. Especially since the OMC indicator hides what you're doing if you time it right. By the time you can see again, SLab already crossed you up and you're eating a donkey punch from Asterius.

lol you wouldn't be the only one, at least I don't think so. imo she's the next most likely VF candidate.
Blargh. Getting gift points in Tekken Revolution is such a hassle. I've played way more online matches than I can stomach (ie. anything more than is required to get the 10 ranked matches trophy). The netcode is pretty good, but still. mreh
-
-Have boobs?
-Can fight?
Viable DoA character.
-
As true as this may be, her boobs are no where near as prominent and her outfits are far too concealing (She has that one midriff outfit) compared to, say... Vanessa. I'd think Eileen would have a better shot. Guy-wise, Kage Maru or Shun Di for double drunken ninja tag matches.

Eliot would like a word with you. She's as flat as a board and generally doesn't show much skin either.

Oh man. If they actually put Aoi in DoA5U... people are going to get blown up. :V I don't think they do it, though. Ten'chi stance would just eat most DoA character strings alive; they would either have to rework the stance or tweak everyone's movelist to flag certain moves as uncatchable like it is in VF.

I think you and I have a mutual understanding that if it boils down to us both picking VF characters in DoA, we may as well boot up VF instead. :-\
I just unlocked my 2nd character in Tekken Revolution and it's...Leo. :V That supposed announcement about adding TTT2 characters, maybe not the entire cast, was on Harada's twitter but it so conveniently went missing not long after. I can see it happening, but how they choose to do that is another story. According to the in-game announcements, there's some events going on for the game tomorrow and I'm hoping it means they're adding training and offline VS modes. The only reason I can even stomach playing this game online is because aside from most of the players not being all that good, the netcode is very stable. I encountered my first ragequitter today come to think of it. He was on the verge of getting triple perfected and then the game conveniently tells me the connection to the other player was lost. Oh well, free gift points. I ran into this Jack-6 player who invested 92 points into Power and nothing else. I won, but lol I was so glad to not get hit by any big moves.
As for next weekend, I'd prefer to meet up Saturday if possible. I like having Sunday all to myself since I don't have to get up for work.
-
Sat's out for me, working until evening, and then have to open shop, so there'd be no point. Sunday, I'm good from 4 to whenever.
Edit: Friday's an option, too. Completely forgot that I have that off this week.

I know I have work Saturday morning, and I think Tempered does too. So if you came by Friday, you couldn't stay too late. Thinking about it, the same is true with Sunday as well -- I have to be at work Monday morning, but thankfully it's not a 6 AM start; I would probably go to bed about Midnight or so (which really isn't that much earlier than when I usually go to bed with you asshats around).
-
Sounds like Friday and Sunday can work, but they're not ideal. I suppose if we can't all agree on a day, I'll sit this one out too. :-\

If people want to come on Sunday, then come. It doesn't matter that much... hell, I think it's more of an issue for Tempered.
-
Sunday it is. I'll probably be there around 4~4:30.
-
sunday is fine with me.
-
I'll see if I can be there Sunday.
-
If anyone wants a midweek meetup, my days off are Wed-Fri; and I can make Sunday happen, too.
-
Wed-Fri? Those are some pretty odd days off. :-\ I could possibly do Friday. Not sure about everyone else. Anything worth noting from last weekend?
-
Found a new Thai place that actually knows what spicy food is.
-
Friday would actually be OK for me since I have Saturday off; I just won't be getting home from work until 6 or so.
-
I should be able to do Friday. I'll be available around 4-ish or so.
-
fri will be fine. I might just call off and work sun.
-
As in years past, with the run-up to Evo my place will be available for sessions whenever. Not to say that much will change, really, given the tepid interest in P4A.
If anyone is curious, Tempered is in this bracket (http://evo2013.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/p4a_c28.html) and Ryd is in this bracket (http://evo2013.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/p4a_a33.html).
-
It is pretty tepid. To the point where we were discussing Tekken Revolution for a while over dinner the other night. :-X On that note, I saw the following information while I was at work in regards to the game:
【1 Million Downloads Achievement Event】
■Implementation period
2nd of July (9:00AM) ~ 9th of July (08:59AM)
■ Event Content
★1 million gold present!
All players that log-in during the period will recieve 1 million gold free.
★Chance of winning a lot of Gift Points!
Play either Ranked or Player match with either a Premium Ticket or Premium Coin to recieve five times the amount of Gift Points in each match.
★Fight Money & Experience boost!
Playing in any mode will give an added boost of 1.5x to both earned Fight money & EXP.
★New Characer Additions!
Jin Kazama & Ling Xiaoyu to be added to the roster.
■Emergency Notice!
★Large update to also be added soon!
Even more characters to be added！
A Warm-up training space to be added that will not consume coins！
Premium Costumes and Attack effect 「SHOP」 to also be added！
※More information on these will be added soon to the official site！！
So yeah, Jin and Xiaoyu to be added to the game, and as of right now I think they already are. Some people seem to already have Jin. But it sounds like you have to unlock them via earning gift points, and I only have the first 2 unlockable characters right now. :-\ Though according to the above info, earn 5x the amount of gift points when using a premium ticket/coin. So I guess it's time to go in with the 12 tickets I've stocked up at this point. :psyduck: Funny how we were discussing how Xiaoyu will probably get destroyed by invincibles so I'm kinda curious to see how she works. Also, some training mode will be added as well, and I hope it's as good as Tag 2's. I'd be playing right now but apparently something is up with PSN so I don't want to get random connection errors and lose these tickets I have. I also wonder why they labeled the last part as an emergency notice. lol
@Tempered: The Revengeance map pack for BlOps 2 will be available tomorrow so hit me up when you have the chance. I might do this TR update (if one is required) first since it'll probably finish faster than the map pack, but I'll definitely be on XBL tomorrow night.
-
And this one's my Mahvel pool, lol: http://evo2013.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/mvc3_h1.html
Not that it matters, since I decided to enter that for jokes. It'll be hilarious if I scrub out any wins though.
-
Any of you asshats doing anything on the 4th? I have the day off so I'm free for the fight games and to blow stuff up FOR 'MURICA!!!
Premium Costumes and Attack effect 「SHOP」 to also be added！
Here's the real question: will I avoid paying $8.95 to put Lili in a schoolgirl uniform?
...let's not think about that.

You know, I always gave you crap for your MvC3 team, but after watching Green Ace play at CEO -- I believe. Now I'm just going to give you shit for playing MvC3. :p

Pfft. NO price is too high for you when schoolgirl uniforms are involved. I'm sure you'll find a way.
On a more related note, I was under the impression you'd be going to AX (if it's this weekend) but I guess not. I don't think I have to be anywhere on the 4th but since it's in the middle of the week and all and I have work the next day, I might just be feeling really lazy. As for blowing stuff up, Tempered and I may be in on BlOps 2 blowing shit up there since the Revengeance map pack just released. But we'll see.
-
Man Carlos, I think you can actually get out of your persona pool. As for marvel, I don't think you'll be beating flocker. Everyone else I don't recognize. I think I can get out through losers in my P4 pool hopefully. I only recognize bananaken and Zeromus (just because hes a local naoto iirc).
Sorry HF. Didn't see the map pack came out until I saw it show up in my youtube subs. Probably play some when I resub to XBL but ive been grinding P4U quite a bit. Gotta catch up on the Naoto tech at least.
-
Oh you didn't get a year of gold? Well mine actually expired back in May and there was some promo deal going on that gave me 2 months for $2. Unfortunately that promo is no longer available because I would have just forwarded it to you and went for it again. :(
-

What? Dante/Deadpool unblockable bullshit, or the full Dante/Deadpool/Phoenix? Or something else? The old dream team of Trish/Deadpool/Morrigan? I saw Green Ace playing a Trish/Wesker/Dante team, so I'm guessing you're just talking about Dante unblockable resets.
Really though, I don't feel too bad playing Marvel because it's not the first time I've played a bad game, and it probably won't be the last. I have fun combos and characters I like. The game has a lot of bullshit, only some of which I really like, but it's not like I've never played anything like that before (F/UC). And for all the shit you'll give me, you tsundere bitches still enjoy watching the game :nyoro:
Man Carlos, I think you can actually get out of your persona pool.
I guess. Depends on the characters I have to play against and how up to snuff they are on Yukiko/S.Lab matchups.
-
I might be able to make it tomorrow if nothing else comes up.
-
Marvel has characters I like, but it doesn't play the way I would like. And who says I enjoy watching the game? It's on the tv every time we meet up, so it's not like I have a choice. :-\ Granted it does have its share of exciting moments, but still. I'd be far more productive playing something other than Marvel, within reason of course. Seeing all the suffering that goes on when people play that game is not something I want to be a part of. :bricks:
Not sure if I'll be available tomorrow since I get out of work much later in the day. Saturday, maybe. Sunday? Probably not. I just like to be lazy the day before I have to go back to work.
-
Today's the only good day for me this weekend.
-
H-F missed out on dat Tekken 5 DR.
-
Really? wtf WHY were you guys playing DR of all things? I was wondering why his account was playing that game. If that's the case I didn't miss much because I like T6 better anyways. Nobody told me that anything was actually going down, let alone...that. I may have actually come over with a little notice. But, this is AZ, lol planning? I'll be available this weekend (Saturday most likely) if anyone wants to play DR and/or T6, if not, whatever. Then see you guys in 3 weeks.
-
P4A's inconsistency in resolving situations was pissing everyone off, we'd already played MB, and Dippy forgot he had SF EX plus Alpha. Or something.
-
P4A sounds like it wasn't going very well. MB usually gets played for the rest of the time we're all there. And SF EX Plus Alpha was up for consideration? Must've been a pretty slow night.
-
Yeah, it was pretty slow. I was not expecting anyone to show up, honestly. To be honest, when was the last time P4A has gone well at one of my sessions? :p
-
P4A was mostly okay, but things that pissed me off: Naoto's inconsistency in where she ends up post-Maragidyne (she should be one of the few who gets tossed in front of Yukiko at the end instead of crossing over; didn't work out that way most of the time for whatever reason), and Naoto's traps being inconsistent were pissing off Tempered, too. Sometimes I could get up, hit 2A, and take out oki traps. Another time I hit 2A, COUNTERHIT Naoto, and the trap went off afterward anyway instead of being taken out by either the 2A or the fact that Naoto got hit :bricks:
-
I figured you guys would be on the 24/7 P4A grind with Evo coming up and all. But it seems that the inconsistencies were far too aggravating to consider the thought. Guess I can't say that I feel too bad for not fully getting back into it.
dippy/tempered: Are you guys available this weekend. If so, I'd like to play some MB, but I'd also like to set aside some time for T5DR and/or T6 because of what I missed yesterday. God I hate you guys. >:( I was not going to play either of those games with their amazing netcode either.
-
I figured you guys would be on the 24/7 P4A grind with Evo coming up and all.
I'm not grinding shit! I'll be too busy running stuff during the tournament.

I'll be head all weekend, like a sadlife. You really want to bust out Tekken 6... 6.0? ???
-
Well I know you aren't grinding anything for obvious reasons, I'm just too lazy to point out specifically who isn't part of the grinding because it's implied considering how small our circle is.
6.0? Yeah sure, we're really going to play a game that never had a home release. :-\
-
Let's get logistics going; what time are you planning on heading out on Thursday? Also, are you planning on a clusterfuck in the room again?
-
Let's get logistics going; what time are you planning on heading out on Thursday? Also, are you planning on a clusterfuck in the room again?
I want to leave around 8-9 AM or so (right into rush hour traffic, fuck yes!). The room should not be a clusterfuck, but it might be a little cramped as we have 6 people. However, I can just throw Mizuki in the closet so it shouldn't be too bad.
Ryd, PM me your number and address, I'm not sure if what I have is correct.
-
Have fun...
...
you fools.
:nyoro:
The next few days I'll be collecting green paper with dead white guys on it.
Also, how about Nintendo? Just yesterday they made that announcement that they prohibited Evo from streaming Melee only to reverse the decision a few hours later. Nintendo clearly has no concept of player relations beyond two people on a couch.
-
I think leaving at 9 makes more sense; you leave a whole hour later, but only really lose around 20 minutes.
Also, Dippy, what are the odds of you letting me borrow your Pelican adapter? I can do without if need be, but not having a PS button can complicate things sometimes.
-

Watch, I'm going to throw down some dumb bet and walk out of there with TEH BIG BUCKS!!! or more likely just lose it all; fuck gambling.
Also, how about Nintendo? Just yesterday they made that announcement that they prohibited Evo from streaming Melee only to reverse the decision a few hours later. Nintendo clearly has no concept of player relations beyond two people on a couch.
From what I heard (and given how quickly they flipped their position), Evo did get permission from Nintendo to run the event, but their legal team wasn't aware of that and sent out the C&D because that's what legal departments do. It turns out that their initial request was to scratch the entire tournament! What the fuck? If we got that kind of reaction for MBAA at Evo in 2010, I would have shut down the site in protest.
I think leaving at 9 makes more sense; you leave a whole hour later, but only really lose around 20 minutes.
I'm up for any excuse that lets me sleep later. :V
Also, Dippy, what are the odds of you letting me borrow your Pelican adapter? I can do without if need be, but not having a PS button can complicate things sometimes.
100% if I remember to pack it and 0% if I don't!
-
I should be free this Sat. Since H-F hasn't heard the full news: I picked up BB EX and have been pushing buttons in it. Partially because I can, and partially because CP looks like it might be kinda fun (and less blatantly bullshit than UNIB), and I want to get a better feel for it. Currently playing Relius, but he's turning out to be easy/silly, so I'll probably go back to Litchi and/or Rachel and keep Relius on the side since both of them actually take some work. Also, Deadpool game this weekend if you guys can actually stay awake for it.
-
I see. Can't really say I truly have an interest in learning BB at this juncture though.
I won't be available this weekend so the Deadpool game may have to wait until next weekend. :-\
-
I guess ill try and pick that up sometime. But Supposedly Ruben wont be hosting as much anymore so im going to start trying to get the DL guys over when I host.
-
If you're going to try getting DL people over, you should probably like...post about it. Or I can, but it doesn't seem right for me to invite a bunch of people to someone else's place without clearing it first.
-
Yeah I was going to today. dont rush me.
-
Dippy how good would you say is the Aver Media LGP? I was thinking of recording HD footage soon. My main concern is if it'll work with my current setup because it's just my console plugged into my monitor via HDMI.
-
Hmm. After tonight, I kinda want to give C-W.Len another spin. Or Ciel of some sort (H-F would've booted me off the setup if he saw me pushing buttons with C earlier :V) Probably F, because it's less scumbag, and I prefer F's poverty mechanics anyway.
-
I most certainly would have booted you but then I realize you guys would do the same if I were in the same situation so it's fair. You play some pretty scumbag characters yourself so I don't see why playing C would be such a deterrent. lol :V I'd recommend H-Ciel but I personally don't like how H's mechanics work for her.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ShQvzNK90 A somewhat interesting UMvC3 vid imo.
So what time are people free the weekend?
-
Next available night is Monday. Then Wednesday.
-
I should be available Saturday provided nothing else comes up.
-
Dippy, you need to let me know what I owe you; I'd like to get that squared away.
H-F, implying that W.Len (or just about every other character I've taken an interest in) isn't pain and suffering? :V I guess I could do what everyone says I should do and play Nero, but every time I do, it seems like I find some little thing that irritates me and sends me back to Akiha.
-
Dippy, you need to let me know what I owe you; I'd like to get that squared away.
You owe me about $125 ($95 for the room and $30 for gas). For the sake of completeness, Tempered owes me $125,000,000 and Mizuki owes me his soul.
-
Might head over today, but not for too long since I have work tomorrow morning. We'll see.
-
So hows this weekend looking?
-
Bad, covering a shift on Sat. Monday's open again though. Should also be available next Sat.
-
When did Rei become a fairy and what happened to her eyes?
Tales of Xilla arrived; this'll be the first Tales game I've played since Symphonia. Also have those other games I've been meaning to play (SMT4, finishing Soul Hackers, Virtue's Last Reward), not to mention my PSP backlock (Blazing Souls, Legend of Heroes 1 & 3, BRS, fuckifIrememberwhatelsetherewas). Also, Senran Kagura 3DS titles getting localized; RIP. And we finally got news on +R...
So what's going on with FGs? I've only missed two weeks, but with stuff going on, it almost feels like two months.
Edit: And I should be able to show this weekend, but I've no fucking idea what to play. Besides MB and GG.
-

Honestly, MB and GG is probably all you need... unless you want to end up back in the VF vortex moo hah hah :bricks:
Nothing much has changed, except a couple of other people have been showing up since Ruben isn't hosting. I'm still debating if I should either ramp up in terms of support or pack it up and have everyone take the show elsewhere. Having the Phoenix communities split up like this makes no sense.
As a side note: if you're playing Tales games and you haven't played Vesperia yet... play it.
-
?????????
I'd say that my focus right now would be MB and GG and mostly everything else on the side. Now that we know that +R is getting its console release sometime this month that's more or less what I'm waiting on now. I'm surprised that it hasn't completely been forgotten with all the talk about Xrd. Besides those 2 games, I boot up Tekken Revolution from time to time to grind for gift points. I don't use any premium tickets unless there's a special event where you get 5x the amount for using them. But no offline play, lolz.
EDIT: Looks like the +R is available for the JP release of the game at this time.
-
Guess well focus on GG for a bit with +r being accessible I guess. Im still up for anything, I dont mind having a few games to play.
So what times are good this weekend?
-
I should be available Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately +R isn't available for the US release of GGAC yet. So we'll have to rely on someone who has the JP release in order to play it. I'll be up for most other games as well though if time permits.
-
Sat should be fine.
-
Man, it's almost the weekend already?
GGs in MB last weekend to everyone who played. AH3 got played much to my surprise. Watching AH3 training mode > C-Ciel mirrors. :V
I should be available this Saturday if people would like to meet up then.
Hey dippy, do you think I could possibly try using the LGP to record some test footage? I'd like to use some test clips so I can import them into Sony Vegas and see what kind of quality I can get after I render a series of clips. Besides, I highly doubt you'd loan me such an expensive piece of equipment. :-X
-
Sat should be fine for me. I should also take the time to work out some real F-Sacchin pressure. Not that it matters with Ciel, but there are other characters out there.
Edit: Checked for any news on +R U.S. release. Instead saw P4A:2. YUKAAAAAAAARIIIIII. Looking for updates where Junpei takes his bat to Chie's and Teddie's knees. Also curious to see what they're going to do with Yukiko, though there is Yukari now; closest thing I had to a favorite character in P3. As long as one of them doesn't guarantee suffering, I think I'll be okay. Now just have to wait another 3 years before the game sees console release :V
-
People already dropping BBCP for P4A2. And NEITHER of them have their console release. lol +R could drop this very instant on US PSN and people wouldn't find out until next month.
-
Yukiko's changes, translated by Omex at DL:
http://pastebin.com/wu0BeyHp
.... :slowpoke:
Vacuum on 5AA and 5AAA is...nice? Solves the issue she had of hitting people at max 5A range and losing damage because of it. Would like to see more about 5A itself though :<
Not listed is that her fire levels go up to 9 now. Because that's clearly what she needed. On the other hand, only 3 SB Fire Boosts necessary to get to max instead of 4. I guess that's somewhat more worth the meter?
Biggest thing is the Maragi thing. If it's been changed to hold the button to keep the wave from popping, then great; 236C doesn't require Yukiko to do another move to manually pop. If it means you can still manually pop by tapping the button, but now you can choose to delay the pillar by holding the button (while keeping the wave locked?) .... :V
-

Sure; right now I just have it where I'm using it to commit unspeakable horrors.
Looking for updates where Junpei takes his bat to Chie's and Teddie's knees.
Be careful what you wish for -- now you have Shadow Chie to deal with. Now with infinite* meteors!
*for a limited time
-
Unspeakable horrors? I don't think I wanna know. :psyduck:
What kind of SD card do you have and how much space is on it? I'll need to pick one up and a card reader before I head over there. I don't think Aver Media is sponsoring a tourney any time soon otherwise I'd have ordered a LGP by now. I'll just record a couple clips so it doesn't take long and that way I'm not taking up any space that could be used for matches.
-
・JB's recovery frames have a fatal counter state :bricks:
This is clearly what Yukiko needed. I wonder if that's just the air recovery, or if it translates to the ages of forced crouch recovery you get if you don't do something else before landing.
-
Oh wow this thread. Top of the regional board by far. You guys did it. My god.
-
We still gather up for Melty. Probably not this weekend though. I'm feeling lazy and need to get this heartburn I've been having looked at. Can always ask Dippy if anyone wants to come over.
-
I work all weekends, every Fri Sat Sun.
-
If anyone wants to start talking poverfest plans (planning? lol), I figured now isn't a bad time. For me it's going to be rather difficult to attend because I'm going to be in training for my new job when Povertfest rolls around. My training will be M-F but I don't know the hours. If it's a training class from like 6-3, then in my situation I was thinking of flying out there Friday sometime in the afternoon. The issues with that are:
- Flying out on Friday. I figured those who are flying into SoCal are doing so before then so it's unlikely someone would be able to pick me up.
- I'd have to fly back sometime Sunday night. This is another issue because I'm sure those who are flying out, will be doing so on Mon. or Tue.
- Riding back with everyone here. I'd have to be back no later than Sunday night, and I don't think anyone here would want to leave any earlier than Monday let alone be ready before then.
Of course, this all hinges upon my training schedule. I'm hoping that once all the logistics are straightened out with my new job, I'll have my training schedule soon.
-
If I go, I probably wouldn't be able to leave until Friday night, possibly late night (like make the drive straight out of work, which probably means around 11pm~midnight). I'd also have to head back Sunday night since I have classes Monday morning. That works out great given H-F's restrictions, but I don't know if anyone would want to make the drive that late if we're also going to be driving back Sunday night. I'd also prefer not to fly down there given the rough spending the last couple months (Evo, tuition, living, etc.) If we can't make the schedules work, I'll probably sit this one out. It's not like I won't have enough things to do anyway.
-
From the sounds of it, it sounds like you and H-F could go together (that is, if you both wanted to go down that late).
Myself, I have Thursday through Tuesday off so I'm good for whatever.
Thinking more near-term... anyone coming by this weekend? It is Labor Day weekend and I do have Monday off, as well.
-
I could head over this weekend considering my last day of work at my current job is tomorrow. It's officially Monday, but that's a holiday and the office is closed. lol I'll be handing in my badge tomorrow.
I just got my training schedule earlier today and it's 3pm-11pm M-F. Not what I had hoped for, but even with those hours, we could go down there together in theory. However, that depends on a number of other things as well. :-\
-
its a good schedule for heading back, but not driving in lol. Ive yet to ask for my time off. Probably should with it being ~1 month away.
but yeah this weekend whenever is good for me as I too have monday off.
-
I'm working until 8pm on Sat. Off on Sun, working afternoon on Mon.
-
Have a family dinner Sunday night. :-\
-
Well I'm not going to be hosting till after 8 tonight anyways as I have some plans for earlier in the day. So if people want to come by feel free too. Probably do something like 8-4.
-
I guess that will work.
-
Fuck all this Seifuku discussion. I'm free all day Sat this weekend.
-
Someone sure didn't like all the activity in the recent posts feed. lol
I should be ok for Sat as well if I'm feeling better by then.
-
Ill be hosting at 8 again. come on by.
-
Someone remind me to buy a JP PSN points card and a copy of GGAC+R.
-
Do it.
We'll figure out how to split it later on.
-
Does this mean people should bring their PS3s?
Not 100% sure on what's going on here. I'm just curious as to what the plan is.
-
Does this mean people should bring their PS3s?
Not 100% sure on what's going on here. I'm just curious as to what the plan is.
There's a session here tonight, bring whatever. I actually went and bought a copy of GGAC+R on PSN so there will be at least one copy here at all times.
Weirdly, they gave me the points as multiple 1000 yen cards... so I have an extra 1000 yen card someone could use, and then you would just have to buy a 500 yen one and then have another one to split across two PS3s.
-
UAT shit:
Casuals (2PM)
TOURNAMENT DOA5U (4PM) GG (6PM)
Entry- FREE
PS3 for both.
I am getting C-Akiha fever again. I figure I'll let it run its course and go running back to F after remembering why I hate C's normals so much.
-
Is this UAT thing happening today or sometime on the weekend? Anyone else plan on going? Entry is free so I might go. I'll mash buttons in DoA5U but I'm definitely interested in GG.
-
UAT thing is this Sat. I'll most likely be there for GG. If I can get around to actually getting any form of DOA5U, I'll probably play that as well.
-
You can download the free version on PSN. It comes with the ninjas + 2 other characters (Hitomi and Jann Lee for a limited time only I think). Training mode is also included.
-
Yeah, but it's a matter of getting around to it. Finally got around to starting Bayonetta. Goddamn, this shit would make Quentin Tarantino cream his pants.
-
That reminds me, that game is on my backlog. :psyduck: I haven't gotten any gaming done since I left my previous job because of this annoying cold. This week is all I have left. :-\
-
Neither of you have played Bayonetta? You're both fired.
-
Hey, in my defense, I haven't even had my PS3 for 2 years yet. I didn't even remember about the game until I saw a copy at GS last week and snapped it up right away.
-
In my defense, I HAVE played it. The demo that is. :V But I'll get around to it.
Sadly the sequel is police noise exclusive so bleh.
-
For anyone who's going to the UAT event tomorrow, what time do you plan on showing up? I suppose after GG is done we'll just meet up at the usual place and time?
-
Not sure if I want to bother with casuals; I might get there in time for DoA, but that's changed a lot and (surprise!) I haven't put much time into learning how to work with the new shit. I'll be there when I get there; definitely in time for GG, but I'm not sure how much earlier since I want to do some grinding to get better consistency than I've had the last few times I played.
-
My tentative plan is to be there on time for DoA5U and hang around for GG. Then go to Five Guys (which is down the road a bit), get some foodstuffs and then come back.
-
GG is at 4 iirc so I'll try to be there at like, 3 or maybe a little earlier. If I feel like mashing in DoA5U I'll sign up for it.
Any idea how we'll split +R?
-
No idea. I just got AC+ HDR today. Didn't know it was only $15; thought it was $30 for some reason and bought $40 in PSN cards. Then I saw the price. Derp. Oh well, at least I finally got Agarest War 1.
-
Shoutouts to Dippy's 360 throwing us out. Guess it got tired of the slopfest.
-
Shoutouts to Dippy's 360 throwing us out. Guess it got tired of the slopfest.
Yup. Neither dippy nor Tempered were awake, so the 360 did the job for them. lol But GGs in DoA. I kinda like Momiji. Her movelist isn't very large and her inputs are relatively simple unless it's the string that ends with the 360 throw. blargh Plus I had trouble getting in combos because of the fatasses. You jerk. >:( Saying I was playing Reimu though kinda made me go :( If she had a winpose with some kind of spellcard then I would have agreed.
Oh and......*crunch* :V
Also dippy, how much do I owe you for +R?
-
Anything happening today? I'm fine either way; have reading/writing that needs to be done if it's going to be one of those weekends.
-
Well from what I gather it's one of those weekends where everything is up in the air. If people aren't against us visiting today, I'll most likely head over later for games. Just something to kick back from the work week.
-
I didnt really have anything planned. Really hectic work week and I pretty much forgot it was even saturday. Im not against people coming over but ill be out of it more than usual.
-
GGs in 5U the other night.
Did I leave my headphones there? If so they're probably near the pc.
-
yeah theres a pair of headphones near the TV that im going to assume are your.
-
Tomorrow?
-
Don't see why not. :V
Yeah if there's a pair of white headphones that looks like it was packaged with an Apple device then I guess I left them there.
-
I'm not doing anything, so if people want to come by, sure.
-
Any particular time we'll be starting?
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AcFe7o4Eyc
Just after 4 mins; what the fuck was that?
-
Any particular time we'll be starting?
Hell if I know, there's nothing planned. Pick a time that works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AcFe7o4Eyc
Just after 4 mins; what the fuck was that?
I didn't see anything weird there, it looked like Kohaku was mashing on roll and Akiha did something quick enough to recover before the roll did (looked like a 2A) and hit her with a CH 5A. Unless there's something else? I don't see anything weird (but I might be blind).
-
I'll be there between 6-7 I guess. Just like last weekend, it sounds like it just might be another one of those weekends. :V
-
I think all of the GG players dropped GG waiting for BBCP console to come out in a couple of weeks.
Which will then immediately be dropped for P4UUSH/P4ASS which comes out next year.
Which will then immediately be dropped for GGXrd which comes out who fucking knows when.
Which will then immediately br dropped for BBCZ (or whatever the fuck it ends up being called).
Wheee (ok it's old but still).
-
Double post but fuck it, I own the place: Ryd, I don't think I was clear on this last night. If you want to go to Povertfest and can leave with Choco Friday morning, I'll come back Sunday night to bring you and Jaxx back.

People don't quit GG. GG quits you.
GGs in 5U. Granted, there were some times where I appeared to be rather...upset, but nowhere near the point of Aris levels of rage. lol I think that was due in part to a number of things. I've been playing a lot of Reim...excuse me, Momiji and when I switched back to Kasumi, I had forgotten how to play her, if you can believe that. My movements were so sluggish and I was using a lot of the wrong moves. It took some time before I actually looked competent again. Surprising, I know. Another thing is probably just unfamiliarity with a lot of the moves in the game and their properties. The "patience" I had was partially because of my lack of confidence in the neutral game compared to other games. It worked half the time. But it seems I get clipped in some of the weirdest spots. And the shoulder check was the one thing that was ruining me more than anything. I'd be at +8, use an elbow or mid kick and STILL get hit, even at range 0 with my back to the wall. So that's why I'd be so reluctant to start attacking, when on paper, I should be attacking. I should probably experiment a little more, but I'll chalk it up to inexperience.
If I had to give an honest evaluation of myself in this game, I'd say I've gotten relatively decent in the short time that I've played it. But I lack a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the game.
Also dippy, you keep mentioning something about a, what's it called...school uniform? Can you enlighten me on why I would want to see Reim...excuse me, Momiji dressed like that? I require an honest and accurate response.
This is a noob move on my part asking such an open-ended question like this, but fuck it. I need to do something to take a little away from the semi-serious nature of this post.

This is true, the game kicked me out after one too many bad plays years ago and I never played it since

I didn't really think much of it -- I noticed you were getting tight at points, but I figured it was just the game (since the game is kind of BS).
I think the TV lag is screwing you up more than you think. Lei-Fang's 46P is fast... but it isn't that fast. However, in some of those situations you're getting beat out because I'm making a hard commit whereas you're trying to react. So in certain sequences, I've decided ahead of time I'm throwing that move out there and I don't give a flying fuck what happened. That and the two-frame suki in the game means you never have as much advantage as you think you do.
You think your movement is bad? I personally think my movement in DoA is utter shit, I'm always jumpy to start moving around because I'm afraid I'm going to get random holds all over the place because I try to guard cancel everything like it's VF.
One thing that makes DoA different from VF and Tekken is how much CHs matter -- or how much they don't. Getting hit at all in Tekken can be very dangerous, and in VF it's the CHs that really fuck you up, but in DoA there's not much of a difference between getting hit normally or getting counterhit. OK, that's being a bit glib (since there are a number of stun starters that are CH-only), but you have crap like random lows that start critical stuns (like Ayane 6K2K or Helena PP2K) that can be just as problematic. The only time a single hit can lead to big damage is when you're near a wall. You also end up with goofy situations like pushing buttons against the ends of strings to preempt a delayed attack. What's that last attack going to do? Juggle for minor damage? Knock you back? Oh noes.
As for suggestions on school uniforms, you could start by... I don't know... looking at your Twitter avatar??? :V Momiji looks way too old in that uniform, which I find hilarious.
-
I do suppose the TV lag played a larger role than I thought it did. I just didn't want it to sound like I was using it as an excuse for poor play. Trades seem to happen more than I expect them to. And neutral throw breaks are just SO jarring because the game's camera is...special. Like, when a neutral throw is broken, the game STILL makes the camera go through its whole routine but the opponent escapes at the very end. So the camera is busy playing catch up while the players are then able to start inputting commands again. So naturally my first impulse is to hit a button, usually throw, because it's really fast. So it was throwing me off.
I'm not sure how movement is really supposed to work here. It feels easier to move than in other games, yet at the same time it feels very wonky. The random hold is more of an issue for me when I'm try to escape from stuns. At neutral I find it easy enough to just hold the back direction, but the stuns are another story.
I'd say that CHs do matter if only because it increases the amount of stun for a lot of moves. But you're right, normal hits just seem pretty weak. Stuff like 2P and 5P only leaving you at neutral on normal hit makes it very difficult to try and tick throw someone with single hits because they can just hit you back so easily. Also the HUD text for counter hits and critical stuns being the same color throws me off a bit as well when trying to decide whether I should launch someone during a stun sequence. If I had to guess, CHs don't usually occur when you have them in critical stuns and once you see that red text for the critical stun, it's time to go for the launcher. It's starting to remind me of the HUD display before MBAC ver.B where critical AND counter hits were the same text color. And I did notice lows that cause critical stuns, and in some ways that makes them potentially just as deadly as some lows in other games. Maybe not on the same level as Law's d/b+4,4 in TR (lol) but it can be a huge shift in momentum. So that really gets me.
I got some achievements unlocked today, and apparently when it says "ALL courses", the typo applies to those that have that in their description. That's SO easy.
Also, you failed to answer the question I posed at the end of my previous post. And what about my Twitter avatar? There's nothing special there. It's just a random character. :-X
-
I'm going to pass on Povertfest since I missed the window for requesting Sunday off thinking it'd be almost impossible to ensure I get back in time for life on Monday. It's not a big deal for me since not going means I don't have to drive myself crazy trying to cram shit for class half a week earlier than I usually do, and right on the tail end of finishing the current round, while working every day along the way.
-
We don't play this game lol, but apparently someone made a cmv as a tribute to me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTiJTf5Q4K0

THE BEAR COMBO
-
Yes, dat bear combo. New and improved. It works on True Ogre as well as I showed in my last upload. Hopefully PETA doesn't get on his case. lol But yeah the item move combos were the best, especially that last one. :V He even replicated the costumes I used almost perfectly. I spoke to the creator of the video about a month ago asking how he did some of those ridiculously long TA! strings in a previous video he uploaded, and from what I could understand there's a very specific frame/timing where you can still get additional attacks to come out without a stance shift and not lose the TA! state. Needless to say it's so difficult that it's tool-assisted. A bummer because I wish they were practical. :-\
On a related note, I've been messing with 5U's tag system. Man the combos you can put together are such jokes but they're a lot of fun. Too bad I'm never gonna use these. :-X

Since you guys would join the Invincible Zero Army...

I decided to take the remaining JP PSN points that I have and put them toward BBCP. However, I did put in for another order of JP PSN points and if anyone wants a copy of GGAC+R now is the time to ask about it. This also means I'm willing to split a JP copy of BBCP with someone, although the price on that is going to be $40 or so. If none of you clowns want it then I'll open it up to the local fools on Dustloop.
H-F: Jaxx (Jaxx!) had some choice words for you regarding TAKEN TAG 2 at Povertfest. :x
-
And just what might that be?
-
And just what might that be?
Oh come on, where's the pop-off? :p
He's more of a Tekken player than I originally realized and I suggested that he should come by sometime to play (even though we haven't played the game in a fair bit).
Speaking of coming by, is anyone coming by this weekend? I'm doing jack and squat.
-
This week is likely out for me on account of working Sat/Sun. I might be able to show up tomorrow if current plans fall through, but I don't know how likely that is. Next weekend is more of the same; Friday night I'll be at work; Saturday, work and Otsukimi at the Japanese garden (though I may show up late; 9:30-10ish).
-
I'll probably be there this weekend but not tomorrow because I get out of work so late.
I'd have popped off initially after reading the above, but didn't have the energy to do so because of getting home so late. But if Jaxx actually plays Tekken, then I'd be ok with that. Maybe I might learn a thing or two. And yeah he should stop by some time. I can't remember the last time he did. :-\ You're right in saying we haven't really played the game in ages, but I'm not surprised. The last time I played the game was when I submitted combo clips for the huge TZCP and I submitted that almost 2 months ago, then released a couple movies of my own a month ago. So yeah. Maybe I should challenge him in Tekken Resolution and take all his tickets. lol Been messing around with 5U tag mode a little still and somehow unintentionally convinced someone to pass up GTA5 for this game. Much to my surprise because I'm no salesman. :psyduck:
As for future meetups, I don't know what my production schedule will be like. If anything, I'll have one weekend day off. Which one, I won't know. I just wish more of these shifts we were offered had consecutive days off.
-
Are we going to revive Tekken? :V I don't mind playing it if we are; just want to know if I should dust off my copy. Or whatever we're going to be playing from here on out. I'm down with anything except the titles you know I'll flat out refuse, though I can't promise VF since we all know how much that game fails to motivate me (which is tragic, really...)
-
I want to play some CHAOS CODE! Im fine with Tekken Tag, but I dont know how I feel about solo Tekken. Lets not forget about GG and Melty.
-
Deciding what should and shouldn't be played should be left to the people who actually play games /realtalk :V :V :V
I didn't mean to imply only Tag 2; there'd be too much salt buildup and someone might break something. DoA is still fun and I don't want to see it go on the sad shelf of games people like but nobody plays. +R got its NA 360 release; I'm hoping that means it'll get its PSN release on Tuesday.
-
^ I think we can all agree I've played DoA more than you've played VF, and I've gotten pretty decent at it too!!! :psyduck: So I've upheld my end of the deal. :V
As for Tekken, it's one of those games that if it gets played, it gets played. That doesn't mean drop everything else for it. Who said anything about solo Tekken? You mean DR? T6? Dare I say the one that came after TTT1 but before T5? :-X I don't mind DoA too much outside of really stupid shit that happens. Granted there is a certain threshold that can be reached where I'll just go fully running back to VF. But I spent my $$$s on the game (NOT on DLC) so I need to get the most out of it starting with the achievements.
It's impossible to forget about GG and Melty. I'm not very interested in BBCP so I don't forsee it drawing me away from either game. As for Chaos Code, I'd need to learn the more S-S-STLYISH Cerberus combos but the command interpreter keeps fucking me up when I try to use the dive kick. Or I could just learn the Cerberus infinites. :-X And speaking of infinites, Pai still has a semi-infinite in 5U tag mode. I picked Lei Fang as a partner and it's literally a 1 button combo (sans the tag input). But I don't play VF characters in 5U, and who actually plays tag mode anyway? :V
-
You really have no idea how much I want to love VF. Truly. I like a lot about the game, but it's unbelievably difficult to get motivated enough to do stuff with it because of my issues with the style. I will not deny that the game has substance in spades, but the characters have less personality than FF7's cast and the sound is so incredibly corny it just makes me... :bricks:
-
Maybe we can make another deal. I wont play DoA and you wont play VF :nyoro:
Yeah I learned the pains of the command interpreter at povertfest for chaos code. Was trying to do some Celia combos but I would get the wrong move coming out if I was using that wing dash special she has.
And in regards to solo tekken I was referring to resolution but I forget you cant play it offline.
-
Revive ALL OF THE GAMES!!! Who wants to play Aquapazza??? :nyoro:
Why do I feel like an idiot for buying BBCP? Oh well. I think the next couple of weeks are going to be weird, especially if GGAC+R does see a full US release. People won't be able to make up their goddamn mind in regards to what to play (and it'll only get worse next year, with Xrd, P4C and DBFC all coming out).
Ryd, keep in mind that VF is a game forever stuck in the 80s and has been a no-waifu zone ever since the concept of waifus existed. That and your complains sound like what a lot of people say about Arcana Heart or Melty Blood. :p
H-F, if you started doing the Cerberus infinite, I think I would just throw you out of the house.
-
Melty just has pixel issues; it sounds fine. Arcana feels like it had an 2nd rate recording job, but nothing insufferable. VF sounds like it's actively making fun of you for playing it with the whoosh on sweeps and poverty asian kung fu B-flick voicing and hit effects.
Unless you meant the personality thing for MB/AH. I can kinda agree with AH; some characters have it while others are about as bad as VF. MB's characters only have an issue with failing to dress the part of a fighter. While some characters are a little too archetypal, they are far from feeling like you might as well be throwing down with sock puppets.
-
BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!! Is this random Cerberus too strong for Dippy's main? :V
EDIT: I didn't notice this until now, but really? DBFC? From what I've heard and little I've seen I'm not impressed, especially knowing who's behind it. It seriously just looks like waifu fighter # 303849712893. The last anime-styled fighter to really catch my interest was AH3. The less an anime-styled fg plays like GG the less likely I am to have any interest in it.
-
My FB is flooded with Pokemon. I swear to god, if one of you picks it up... :emo:
-
My FB is flooded with Pokemon. I swear to god, if one of you picks it up... :emo:
H-F and Tempered don't have 3DSs, and I have never played a Pokemon game in my life (honest!), so I think you're good there. :p
-
Oh...I thought Tempered did. He was actually my main concern; H-F is too worried about maintaining appearances and probably thinks we'd never let him live it down, and I didn't think you'd be too into it since the series is wrapped in kid gloves and whatnot.
That said, I do think it is (or at least was up to the...3rd or 4th gen, when I gave it up) a great and incredibly complex series if you can get past the fact that it's cutesy cockfighting marketed at 7 year-olds. My real beef with it is that it's a more powerful timesink than any MMO, and as such, should burn before it consumes another generation.
-
What's the deal with Pokemon again all of a sudden? I'm seeing it a lot on twitter now too. And come on guys, I'm not as overly concerned about maintaining appearances as it's made out to be. :-\ Yes, stuff does get exaggerated from time to time, but that's how we roll.
But dippy is right. I don't own a 3DS and I too haven't played a Pokemon game before which some may or may not have a hard time believing. I agree with the analysis of the series and I do remember it was a major thing back in middle school, but I never hung out with the cool kids because I never owned the games. But it's all gravy, things turned out much worse for them down the road. So yeah. :-X
-
OK, so which of you idiots is coming by this weekend? I want to play something -- MB, CC, AP, VF, DoA, SFEX2, FUC, whatever.
-
I might be there.
-
I might show Sat, but won't be there till almost 10; also likely to be tired as fuck if you want to meet that day. I'm off Sunday though...
-
Either works for me. Up to you and HF really to decide on the day.
-
Well, if I show tomorrow, I'll be mostly dead, which may or may not matter much since the only things I've played lately are my violin and bass.
-
I suppose it's one of those weekends again. Been feeling kinda lazy. I haven't played FGs in what feels like forever and I already made plans to be on XBL tomorrow for various games. :-\
It feels like there's just too many FGs out right now and there's more on the way and it just feels hard to stay focused when everyone's jumping around between games and whatnot.
-
It's fine, I was asked to work tomorrow anyway, which means I'll be spending the evening finishing shit for class. Truthfully, I've also lost a lot of interest in gaming lately, and all of it's been going toward my instruments.

Those doldrums... frankly, I guess it's kind of inevitable. There really hasn't been a common game since we stopped playing MB mid-2011 or so. We all tried playing AH3 but only H-F really took it seriously. Ryd could never get into playing VF, and I wanted nothing to do with P4A. Interest for other games (like BBCP) seems to be minimal. Maybe people would start coming back together for Xrd or maybe something like UNIEL, but both of those games are at least a year out.
This seems to be a problem in AZ in general. It reminds me of what happened with MB (and this very site) a couple of years back, where the current structure and leadership are deteriorating into a vacuum, with no one suitable able to step up and replace what fell.
-
People wanting to come over this weekend?
-
I'd like to play +R. Chaos Code was fun last time, so I'd be down for that as well.
I'm also planning on giving BBCP a shot (Dippy, I'd be willing to go in on it with you), so I guess I'm ok with that as well. Also, looks like Ruben is hosting Saturday, but it looks like it's pretty exclusively for BBCP; while I'm going to try playing that game, I'm not hype enough for it to sit in a crowded apartment playing it exclusively for hours on end.
Melty's kind of been on the back burner for me lately, but I'll play that too.
-
It's ok, I haven't been playing much in terms of FGs lately either.
I may or may not come depending on a few things. I have family from out of town visiting and I have work the next day. Moving forward, my days off are Fri-Sat.
I'd be a little more confident in trying BBCP if I can mash buttons with someone who has as much experience as I do (ie. none) but who knows how long it'll last. If someone would be willing to game share it with me so I can try it out, by all means.
Edit: I just remembered they fucked up my Jin color from CT. And none of his other colors look to be a suitable replacement. So that diminishes my will to play him which relegates him to side character status. I suppose I'll see if there's any room on the Bullet train if/when I get to try the game out.
-
Yeah I saw that in the Dustloop thread and went "aaaah maybe not". I do have two setups here with BBCP so if someone wanted to grindlord training mode (or God forbid that many people want to play) then that could happen.
As for gamesharing it... I think I may have botched it, since it's on the same account as GGAC+R and that PSN account is already activated on H-F's PS3. However, I think I can deactivate the account remotely without affecting his copy, since he can't log into PSN on that account anyway (to my knowledge, the licenses only update once you log in). If I royally fuck it up and end up wrecking his copy of GGAC+R... I would probably a) peel the skin from my body and then b) give him either a X360 copy of the game or the money back.
H-F, I wouldn't worry about experience since NO ONE has any right now. Frankly, my biggest problem with BBCP is that I don't even know who I would want to play. D: I played Makoto in CS2 but I tried playing her now and she seems like pure asswater in this game.
-
Should we start thinking about meeting up on a different day? Possibly Friday?
-
If the game sharing doesn't work out with me it's not that big of a deal. I played (well, perhaps that's not the right term) CS2 without ever owning the game, and I did ok against a fair number of the local BB players. But that's probably just because Tsubaki takes no effort.
I think Dippy's right and we're all in the same boat in regards to BBCP knowledge. I know that some of Tsubaki's old combos still work and that she got a command grab and a projectile, and that's about it.
-
sigh. To make things wierder I just got called in for OT tomorrow at 5 am so i'm probably going to bed around midnight :/.

TTT2 Global Championship: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJOtMjk02lw
I got to see the Law/Paul player whom dippy was talking about. He defeated Help Me!! twice. :psyduck: He sure did look like he was playing like a troll but he also made some pretty clutch reads as well. His success rate with double flip kicks was surprisingly high. And he's only 13? :| Also Mr. Naps landing Snake Edge...lol

Anyone available today by any chance? y/n?

Anybody wanting to come over today?

Working tonight.

Playing Pokemon tonight.
Fixed. :V
For real: Ryd, we've been thinking about rescheduling sessions -- what is your normal work schedule like again?
-
I still want to play +R. And I'm down for MB, CC, and BB as well.
I looked into the file sharing thing a little. It looks like you can only activate an account on 2 systems max, so... yeah, it might not work with anyone but H-F.
-
I woke up not too long ago. :gonk: So I'll pass because I'm afraid I might wake up late tomorrow for work.
At the very least a certain someone wasn't around to make Reimu jokes while we were playing 5U online last night. :V
Oh and btw....
...who's Reimu? :-\
I think the longer it takes me to actually sit down with BBCP the less I'm going to care about it. lol Plus I've got a lot of games that need to be played, and Ghosts is released on Tuesday.

Who wants to play Aquapazza?? :p I think Tempered and I would be OK with this (me? playing fighting games? what is this nonsense???) Maybe I (or Tempered or whoever) should post something in the Dustloop thread. If you come by, bring your PS3 so I can get it authenticated and then you can download it.

You could always come on down earlier, you know. :p Let's not talk about what happened when playing 5U online last night... god damn that irritated me way more than it should have.
As for BBCP, you should be able to download it from the account I gave you for BBCP -- but I would need to give you the new password so you can log in. i can walk you through it; ideally we can work all of this out in the next day or so. If Orrax comes by I'll go over the plan with him, but generally you would download BBCP, I would deactivate the PS3, and then Orrax would grab it on his. The one issue is that you wouldn't be able to re-download it (or GGAC+R) if needed, but I don't think that would be a big issue.
-
I would come by earlier but as I was saying, I woke up not too long ago and I have a bad headache as well.
And right, you would need to provide me with the new password in order for me to just sign into PSN and download it. Plus I would need some assistance navigating the store since my JP skills are beyond poor. My guess is, just like the older PSN store, there's some section where you can download previous purchases. I don't foresee myself needing to re download +R or BBCP any time soon unless my PS3 decides to brick itself like my last one did.
-
I'm willing to give Aquapazza a try if you want.
But yeah, I'm down to stop by if anyone wants to play games, and I can bring my PS3. I can't make it until later, like 8 - 8:30 or so, however. If people would rather set up a time on a different day that works better with everyone's schedules, I'm fine with that too. My schedule is pretty flexible -- I can do work whenever, just so long as I get stuff done -- so I can meet up tonight and do work another day, or vice versa. Either is fine.
Just let me know what you all want to do.
EDIT: On second thought, tonight might not be the best night for me either. My sister is in town, and I'm not sure what her plans are yet. If her plans are to hang out with family, I may not be able to meet up at all.
EDIT EDIT: Yeah, looks like tonight won't work for me. Sorry! I can do tomorrow, though, if that would be better.
-
I don't think Carlos has a 'normal' work schedule
Nah I prefer not to host on Sunday if possible. Mondays are stupid busy at work and I like to make sure I get enough sleep at least one night of the week. Also yeah we've been thinking about hosting on different days depending on what we can work out. Wed-Sat is the best for me to host.
-
Playing my violin tonight.
Fixed. :V
For real: Ryd, we've been thinking about rescheduling sessions -- what is your normal work schedule like again?
Fixed.
I really don't have a normal schedule, though I work mostly nights now since I have classes in the morning. Days that I'm scheduled, I'm generally there till 11, which makes it difficult to justify meetups on those days since I wouldn't get there till a little before midnight and things were winding down around 1-2 the last few times I was there. Haven't been around lately because I've either been working weekends or other people have bailed and it hasn't really seemed worth it. I've also have been devoting a lot of my spare time to my violin lately; blame Lindsey Stirling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGCsyshUU-A) for giving me motivation by doing something similar to what I'd love to do myself. I've been more or less completely wrapped up in work/class/violin/reading George R. R. Martin; any gaming that I've done has mostly been auto-pilot stuff while reading, which naturally excludes fighters.
Truth be told, I've been thinking about taking a break from the FG thing since circumstances have already kind of put me on one and I don't really find myself missing it much. +R's localization crap pissed me off and there are around half a dozen games that I find reasonably fun, but not so much that I'd really want to put serious time into learning them, especially given my current occupations. Then there's the whole CP/P4C/Xrd crap, and the deal with how only a few people seem to know what they really want to play (naturally spread across a few titles). Given that mess and that I've been having more fun with music and catching up on reading (halfway done with Martin's series, and then around 300 other books on my backlog), it seems to make sense.
-
So sessions will be on Friday going forward.
On another note: on the 13th of December, Tempered and I are going to the Madoka movie showing at 6:30 at the Valley Art Harkins on Mill in Tempe. If you want to come along, you can buy a ticket online (http://www.movietickets.com/purchase.asp?exid=Har&house_id=7619&movie_id=169336&perfd=12132013&perft=18:30).
-
That's a Friday and I have those off from work (unless I'm doing OT :psyduck:). I'd do it just to hang out but I'd also feel a little out of place since I'm not familiar with the series past what you guys have shown me. And let's not have that conversation again. We've gone on so long without so why start it up again? :V Well, more like I just don't have the energy to play along right now but you get the idea.
-
which discussion? The ANIME discussion or the one where we try to get you to watch madoka, or at least the first two movies?
-
The one where we were debating if H-F imported the Japanese version of Call of Duty, because they replaced everyone with Kancolle characters (much like what happened with the JP version of World of Tanks and Girls und Panzer).
:bricks:
In more real news, it turns out that Ruben is starting to host again... on Friday nights. Derp! Especially with the reduced numbers we have now, does it really make sense to have separate sessions on the same day?
-
Yes, I was referring to the ANIMRRRRRRR discussion. I don't mind if you guys get me to watch Madoka because I'm already in knee deep because of the introduction from a while ago.
Kancolle? Do I even wanna know? :psyduck:
-
Working Fri/Sat night for the next two weeks.
Is SoCal's F-Akiha abundance my fault? :psyduck: I thought they only had one before Evo...
-
I'm not worried about SoCal's F-Akiha abundance. It just means I'll have a much easier time during our next encounter with them. :V
-
I haven't been paying much attention to socal MB. More interested in seeing how Kokonoe is going to destroy BB. Though it wouldnt surprise me. :laffo:
-
In more real news, it turns out that Ruben is starting to host again... on Friday nights. Derp! Especially with the reduced numbers we have now, does it really make sense to have separate sessions on the same day?
Possibly not? But it's going to be hella crowded at Ruben's this Friday; it's only a one bedroom apartment.
-
Yeah I'm hearing a lot of complaints about Kokonoe. Maybe I should be happy I never truly got started with the game. I haven't played it since the download completed. Been too busy with Ghosts lol :gonk:
Anything happening today? I know that Ruben is hosting today but I'm not too keen on attending if it's going to be as crowded as it sounds, even moreso if it's primarily going to be BB oriented. I'd like to play me some FGs though since it's been a while or at least it felt that way and last week fell through. :(
-
I think the plan is to go to Ruben's. And it'll probably be Blaz oriented, and I do still want to try the game, but I'm definitely down to play other games and I'd guess that other people are as well. I'm down to play GG or MB or CC and so on, and I'm pretty sure others are willing to play other games as well.
It does get crowded, but we'll see how it goes I guess. I've been there when it's pretty crowded and, I dunno, it really wasn't that bad.
Also, lol Kokonoe.
-
Two items of note:
1) Tempered is hosting casuals at my place on Saturday night. If you don't like the date, blame him.
2) Death lolis can improve even the crummiest of fighting games (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uZfNXcBuuqY/UoO0VqiGc0I/AAAAAAAAAHA/yl2QINdeLrE/s1600/newchar.jpg). if she comes out on console (and considering how Tecmo-Koei likes to sling DLC, she will), prepare to get bodied.
-
...I'm not interested. You're also assuming that there will still be interest in the game by the time that rolls around. :V
And speaking of new characters, TR's new character is supposed to be released at some point. Not that I care because the game can only be played online. And some people thought I was going to play the new character. I dunno why. I didn't even vote in the poll. :|
It feels like forever since I've played a fg. Aside from playing CP a little bit on the day I finished the download, I think the only time prior to that was the one night we were doing 5U online. :bricks: I'll see if I can make it Saturday though. No double XP this weekend for Ghosts.
-
I think I can make it Saturday. I still want to play +R, and I've been impressed with the little I've played and seen of BBCP so far. Maybe it's actually a decent game?? Only time will tell, I guess.
-
I'm down to play +R seeing that it's widely accepted as being good. Plus I think if I need a game to beat me back into shape, GG is the one to go to.
Also, new youtube comments suck. I can't even reply to comments on my own videos without having to create a Google+ page? No wonder it kept bugging people to use their real name for their accounts. I haven't really found any workarounds either.
-
Yeah the new Youtube stuff is mad annoying. But im up for GG and/or BB tomorrow and we have both available.
-
I'm still planning on stopping by, but I am getting some tooth pain and it's possible, albeit unlikely, that I'll not show if it gets bad.
I guess I should bring my PS3 for BBCP sharing, assuming we're still doing that. I assume you'll have enough setups, but I can bring a monitor if you need one.
-
EDIT: Stuck. Probably going to spend most of the remainder of the day getting my new laptop setup.
EDIT 2: Nvm. I'll probably be there later. I'll just tag my laptop along with me. All I need is wi-fi access to get it all set up.
-
GGs H-F, and thanks again to Tempered and Dippy for hosting, and thanks again to Dippy for the games. I need to learn how to use Tsubaki's meter and charge better. And I need to stop dropping stuff with Sol.
My tooth waited to get really bad until the drive home. Good timing, I guess? Still would have been better if it had waiting until Monday; then I could make an appointment without having to wait through a Sunday.
-
GGs in GG and BB guys. I'll try to learn how to do some legit damage by the next time we meet up. It's pretty obvious I knew how to obtain charge levels, but once I got it, I didn't really know HOW to use it. lol And j.C seems kinda good. Just sayin'. :-X But surprisingly, I had fun. But who knows? This might just be the honeymoon phase. :V
Also Luke, unfortunately no one is taking the title of "least anime person" away from me any time soon. The gods have spoken:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/hfblade/random/xr_zps508aa010.png)
This was originally between me and the other guys. I wouldn't have taken you into consideration for this whole mess if you hadn't inquired about it. But I'm sorry, I had to do it. :bricks:
You think they would've given this to someone like me, but nope. They didn't.
:laffo:
-
Hmm, I'm not sure I have enough hair to dye. I guess I could get a blue wig.
I suppose I'll just have to settle for "second least anime person." :(
-
Calling bullshit on this; H-F has that not-so-secret seifuku fetish.
-
I'm sorry but playing one character who happens to have one doesn't qualify as having a fetish especially since it's not my favorite costume. On top of that, I've hardly used it. And IF the above were true (because it clearly isn't), wouldn't I have been playing seifuku since MBAA? :V
:psyduck:
-
Any meetup or sessions happening today?
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWv09X3jvBo
MBAC ver.B2 being played...and what year is it right now? 2013? :psyduck: Evidently Xie and Magz both entered this tournament.
-
Any meetup or sessions happening today?
Looks like there wasn't much interest. Probably due to Tempered and I not really being with it and going to bed early as fuck.
I'll be doing something on Thanksgiving, for you hams that have no family and no life.
-
Unfortunately I'm working on Thanksgiving. But judging by what I know, I might end up making close to triple pay on that day. So... :psyduck: I get the feeling it's going to get pretty slow earlier than usual. But oh well, I'll take almost triple the pay for just sitting at my desk. :| At least I have Black Friday off, AND I get paid that day. :toot:
-
i'm going to jaxx's thing wed night - sun afternoon fyi
-
I'm going to be working both Thanksgiving and the day after (but at least I'll be making a dumb amount of money doing so). I wasn't even aware Jaxx was doing anything this weekend, or that bell was going to be in town. :slowpoke:
-
Me too. I had no idea Jaxx was doing something OR that bell was going to be in town.
AZ - We know planning. :bricks:
I'll probably have some time available Fri. night so if anyone wants to play fighters, I'm down since nothing happened last week. Who's down for some MBAC ver.B2???
"............"
:gonk:
-
Another person not in the know, but me not knowing something surprises no one.
I can host Fri or sat. W/e works. Ill play some MBAC. Good way to ruin my MBAA hit confirming.
-
Do I still have my PS2 copy of MBAC around? I think that would be funnier.
Come on down Friday, I'll have food.
-
Not 100% sure about Friday right now. Saturday is more likely.
EDIT: If I'm able to visit on Friday, it'll probably be later at night. I'd like to have dinner with my family first since I missed it on Thanksgiving day.
-
Working tonight and tomorrow night. Might be busy Sunday as well.
-
Not 100% sure about Friday right now. Saturday is more likely.
EDIT: If I'm able to visit on Friday, it'll probably be later at night. I'd like to have dinner with my family first since I missed it on Thanksgiving day.
I already told bell to come down on Saturday, since I think that's when Tempered was inviting other people here as well and it sounds like that would work better for you as well. Although if you want to come by both days, that's OK too. (Although Tempered has work tomorrow.)
-
I'll see what I can do. dustloop crew was planning on coming down Saturday? Tonight looks more likely for atm. I know it's super late, but... :| I have to do some last minute shopping. bbl
-
Well ill he hosting tomorrow for some BB and GG and MB and Taken and other stuff like usual. Also watching NEC.
-
Tempered, what time are you hosting? You might want to post the time in the Dustloop thread as well, since I think Ryuuka was also planning on stopping by.
-
GGs in GG and BB last night. At least my new schedule kinda works out a little better with these Saturday nights.
-
Yeah that is nice. GGs as well.
Reminder were going to the Madoka showing this Friday if anyone wants to join us
-
I'll see you guys at the theater. Oh, and I'll wear my Ghosts dog tag to ensure that I will, by definition, be the least anime person there.
:V
-
Ill be hosting tommorow after 8 like usual.
-
Figured Dippy would like this if he hasn't seen it yet. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/251990)
-
I think I might buy that game. Ill be hosting tonight if anyone wants to come by. after 8pm like usual.
-
Any chance there's a session happening this weekend? I'd like to know asap so I can plan accordingly.
-
Ill be Hosting. But Ruben is hosting this weekend I think so I dont know how many people would be interested.
-
I thought he normally hosted on Fridays?
-
Yeah but people dont like to show up to his place AND my place the same weekend. The BB ranbats are today at 2pm anyways so i dont think ill be hosting actually.
-
Any session happening tonight? It feels like it has been forever. I've given this some thought and I think I've hardened my resolve that the only 2D fighters I'm going to really play moving forward are GG/MB/AH3 (which has always been my top 3) until UNIEL or AH3LM are released in playable form. BBCP is just a mess right now and with all the drama going on, I feel relieved that I didn't invest too much time into it. But yeah I'd like to play one of the above 3 with someone. I remember dippy said he got a copy of MBAC PS2 during his trip to Japan. Hell, I'd give that a whirl. :V
-
Well, if you want to come by, sure. I'm not sure who else is coming, though.
-
This website doesnt like to let me post sometimes. sure is annoying.
-
Yeah I usually get some kind of administrator error or something dumb like that.
Also, thanks for the keychain dippy. But I still hate you. >:(
-
Ill be hosting tonight after 8 like usual.
-
I wanted to stop by, but it's now almost 10 and I'm still not done with everything I wanted to get done today. Bleh.
-
Hey if you got stuff to do you got stuff to do. The site wouldnt let me post earlier anyways which mightve helped.
-
Sorry about it being late but ill be hosting after 8 today again.
-
Fuck, this thread is in a sorry state. If you guys aren't going to SCR, I might be free for (and in) MB on Friday.
-
omg you're still around??? :V A sorry state? Isn't that always the case? lol
I'm not going to SCR and I don't think dippy and tempered are either (?). I'm not sure what everyone else's schedules are on Fridays, but I have Fridays off for now. My schedule will be changing on the 15th of next month so I dunno what my days off will be.
AH3LM just got a release date. So I'm going to be getting back into AH3 until then. If there is a meetup this weekend, I'll probably be off in a corner sitting in training mode all by my lonesome unless there's the off-chance someone will want to play it with me. :gonk:
The last meetup which was almost 3 weeks ago, I wanted to play MB. Ray actually showed up and played MB with everyone. Except, he dodged me. :-\
Watching recent Xrd footage, Ogawa delivered a body montage yesterday. I guess it's not too surprising since Xrd is using #R as a base for the game.
-
I have no problem hosting tomorrow; I'm not going to SCR tomorrow because lol work. Tempered has work but he should be home at around 9 PM or so? Time to play some GOOD anime fighters for once. :p
-
If this does go through, I'll probably get there around 8:30-9. Sat/Sun just aren't possible at all since I'm working late those nights.
-
Well I started a new job as well with Sunday Mondays off so yeah :/. Fridays dont work for me because I work early on Sat. Hard to schedule these days.
-
Hmm. Tempered's out and H-F will be playing with his waifus. Are you still working Saturday mornings, Dippy? Almost seems like it might be better to try some other time.
-
What waifus? :-\
If this is still happening, I'll be there between 8-9. I'd rather not bail since I still have Fri-Sat off. No idea what my new days off will be but with any luck I'm hoping Sun-Mon at the very least. It's been almost a month since I was last out there so half of this would be just another reason to hang out after so long.
-
Oh you mean coming over today (friday). If you want im still available late. I just don't have as much time. Unless I get off early I don't get home till 10:30 but ill still be up till 2.
-
Alright, guess I'll be there.
-
Damnit Carlos. That shadow song has been stuck in my head all day. What was her name again?
-
Lindsey Stirling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGCsyshUU-A). Welcome to my world. iTunes reports 150-200 plays for pretty much every other of her songs. Shadows has around 1,400, which doesn't include times listened to through my phone or watching the video. I've lost entire days to that song, and I just mean listening to it. Learning to play it is something else.
-
It was nice to hang out again after so long.
Moving forward, my new schedule unfortunately has my days off as Thu-Fri starting on the 15th. :( So we'll see how meetups will work with everyone's schedules in the upcoming months.
-
I guess it'll depend on what hours you work.
-
In case anyone hasn't heard, US PSN +R is finally out (http://arcsystemworks.us/guilty-gear-xx-accent-core-plus-patch-notes). If anyone wants to brave the annals of +R online, let me know and I will invite you to the +R PSN chat room (believe it or not, I have actually found some people I have a good connection with).
Oh, and H-F, I ran into Numakie and your former SoCal Melty peers when I was at SCR. They said hi.
-
+R PSN patch finally hits, everyone hyped for Xrd. Derp.
-
We can still be hype for Xrd while playing +R.
-
Yeah, but I'm debating whether or not I want to put in the effort given that I'd have to deal with more than a few tweaks and I have so much other stuff going on. If I do, I'll probably learn Dizzy on the side since they killed Venom for me when they nixed freeze balls. Either way, I won't be playing online; too much potential lag induced rage.
-
My new schedule is Thu-Fri off, 1:30pm-10. So that's what it'll be unless/if I can swap with someone.
@Orrax: Thanks for delivering the message from my SoCal melty pals. Though they can always just get at me on aim or whatever to stop in and say hi. lol
So yeah +R finally hit US PSN but bleh. It took them long enough. I don't mind playing +R but considering that Xrd is using #R as a code base, it makes me wonder if +R is really worth investing time into at this point. Hell, I had the crazy idea of playing #R until Xrd as dumb as that sounds. The system differences between #R and +R are just way too different at this point.
Also, AH3LM comes out at the end of May, and AH3 is more or less going to be my focus until then. Yes, LM is a rebalancing of AH3 but the differences between the 2 aren't as sweeping as +R and Xrd. Getting back into AH3 is a good way to re-familiarze myself with the engine. So if this forum has an ignore feature of any kind, then add me to it because I get the feeling people are going to get annoyed real fast with me talking about the game if they haven't already. If not, then bummer. I know it's never been easy being around me and my preference for fighting games that aren't named GG/MB. All anime joking and bullshit aside, I like the game very much, it's well-done, and I feel like people don't give it a fair chance. But that's just me.
-
People deal with my talking about F/UC. What makes you think they'd want to block you for talking about AH?
Edit: Welp, guess I'll be sticking with fighters for a bit longer. Ordered a new converter (http://etokki.com/iNPiN-PS2-to-PS3-Converter). Lina and Etta vouched for it being solid at EVO, and I've seen lots of posts echoing that. Only seen two reports of them not working right after a while, so I'll take my chances.
-
Yeah, but I'm debating whether or not I want to put in the effort given that I'd have to deal with more than a few tweaks and I have so much other stuff going on. If I do, I'll probably learn Dizzy on the side since they killed Venom for me when they nixed freeze balls. Either way, I won't be playing online; too much potential lag induced rage.
Well, I hope you do put in the effort (sounds like you will be given that you're getting a new converter). I lost to a Testament at SCR and I need more experience against his new tech. That and you're always fun to play against.
The online is spotty, but there are still good matches to be had. Most of my matches were really smooth yesterday. I feel like it's worth a try, but I can understand not wanting to bother.
Oh, and how's violin coming along? Are we ever gonna jam??
As for the #R vs +R thing, I really don't see any reason to play #R over +R. Xrd has changed enough that I don't think it's going to matter. And, imho, +R is a MUCH better game than #R, probably the best GG iteration to date (the matches I played at SCR only helped to solidify that opinion). I'll still play #R with people if they want, but I prefer +R. I'm still down for those #Reload vs Slash matches, though!
-
Things I did not notice until now:
HS Beast: FRC 13-14F -> 2-9F
Warrant: counters blockable attack on 4-19F -> 2-19F
:toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot:
Too bad Warrant's animation was increased by 10 frames. But it could be as simple a fix as actually using the FRC, or just an RC. Which will have to be done anyway since HS Beast doesn't scoop anymore. On that note, the new HS Beast FRC is crazy good. Managing setups with both Beasts for their delayable points will take some doing. Should've stuck with learning Aoko :V
Oh, and how's violin coming along? Are we ever gonna jam??
The violin is coming along, but I don't think I'm ready for a session quite yet given that with the exception of the song that has claimed my soul (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGCsyshUU-A), everything I am learning/have learned to play is classical. Practicing almost every day for an hour+, so progress is being made, but my intonation still needs some work, though it's worlds better than it once was, and there are a couple of other minor things that need to be ironed out through practice.
Edit: Testament's corner game feels like it'd be bullshit to deal with. Pressure for days with a single HS Beast FRC, FB Phantom Soul to make you not want to move, S Beast -> teleport crossup into traps. He feels ridiculously offensive now (in more ways than one :V). His potential damage is lower, but it seems like his opportunities to score hits is a lot higher. I'd hate to have to keep track of everything that can be going on at once.
-

When I fought that Testament player at SCR, once he got his game going on me, I was screwed. I'm sure there are ways out, but I don't know them. I managed to beat him later in the team battle because I didn't let him get the momentum.
-
Sounds about right. Provided Testament knows what he's doing, he feels like he's become a character that you have to shut down before he can start.
Grinding and experimenting with setups. Midscreen curse blockstrings, corner pressure, getting the timing to teleport between S Beast vacuum and running into a tree or web. Good times. Not sure about his combos though. They seem pretty limited now, but I guess that's fair when you consider his new pressure and mixup.
Edit: I take back my remarks about his combos/damage. Don't fall for HS Beast FRC teleport mixup unless you like losing half your life :psyduck:
-
@Orrax: If you don't mined, send me an invite to the +R chat room. There's a slight chance that I might try online considering it would probably take a long time to find a match otherwise. I don't have high hopes though. I'll pm you my PSN name.
-
H-F, I sent you a friend request. I can only invite friends, so I have to friend you before I can invite you. If you want to unfriend me after you get the invite, feel free. Or don't, it's your call.
In other news, I've decided to buy a stick, for real this time and not a cheap piece of shit that's broken right out of the box (at least, that's the plan). I made a post about it over on Dustloop (link (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?9906-Arizona-Arcsys-Release-Dates-Give-Us-Erectile-Dysfunction-Thread/page1176&p=1609903&viewfull=1#post1609903)) that says the sticks I'm considering, but I thought I'd bring it up here because I don't think everyone checks Dustloop. Bottom line, I want something that's decent that I can replace the parts in if need be, and I don't mind spending a little extra for something better. Any thoughts on the sticks I posted in that link, or recommendations for something else?
-
You can't go wrong with a Hori.
-
You can't go wrong with a Hori.
Hmm, that seems to be what everyone's saying. Ok, looks like I'll get that one, then. Thanks!
-
I should be free Friday night if you guys are hosting. Otherwise I'll see if Ruben's hosting MB/GG. Or I'll stay home and lab it up.
-
@Orrax: I'll accept the friend request as soon as I can. Don't worry, my friend's list isn't all that big so I don't have a reason to unfriend you. If anything, I need to unfriend these people on my list who haven't signed into PSN for 2-3 years.
This week I still have Friday off. That's another thing I had in mind as well, when sessions are being held. I know Ruben typically hosts on Fridays so there could be some scheduling conflicts that come up. My upcoming schedule so far is still Thu-Fri off for me unless I trade with someone.
-
I sent the invite. If for any reason you didn't get it, just let me know.
-
We've always been rather loose with the session scheduling. Hell, didn't we run them on Wednesday at one point? Yeesh. If people want to come Friday or Saturday, that's fine.
-
Nvm, asked to work tonight. Probably for the best since I want more lab time anyway.
-
I suppose I could probably head over sometime between 8-9 later tonight. Checked the DL thread and doesn't look like anything else is happening.
-
I'm down for gaming tonight but I'm also free tomorrow night. I haven't heard much from Dustloop so I'm not sure what's going on over there.
EDIT: I could also head over between 8-9, possibly a little later depending on when I finish my work (shouldn't be too long). Are those times ok?
-
If you're gonna be there, I'll see if I can obtain Slash for #R vs Slash matches. lol
-
Do it. I might be a little late, but I should be there.
-
Shoutouts to lolzy #R and Slash crossover matches, messing around in AH3 training mode, and +R matches to end the night. It was a lot of fun. Not gonna lie, even now I'm still kinda shaking my head at full screen CH stun edge > run full screen > ground string into corner knockdown. lol
-
Yeah, I don't miss Slash Ky, haha. GGs. I need to work on getting around Ky's pokes more effectively.
And AH3 :psyduck:. I feel like I've made my feelings about the game pretty clear at this point, so I don't think I have much to add. I'll just end with :slowpoke: to balance out the psyduck from before.
-
"I don't think Slash Ky was that good."
"I'm still kinda shaking my head at full screen CH stun edge > run full screen > ground string into corner knockdown. lol"
:bricks:
-
^ Compared to the best characters in the other games? He really isn't. :V
-
Hey Dippy or Tempered: Ryan, Erik, and I are wondering if you're hosting this week. Both Erik and I still owe Ryan money for the SCR trip and it seems easiest to just give it to him the next time we meet at a gathering, but Ruben's not hosting this week and I think Ryan is starting to need the money. If you're not hosting, we'll need to plan something else soon, so just let me know.
Also, the Hori I ordered arrived. It seems nice, but I suck at it (no surprise there).
-
If they are hosting, I'll only be available Friday because I start my new shift on Saturday. Which means that I won't stay as late as last time. I'll probably show up a little earlier than usual and do my best to not stay past 1am or so. Maybe dippy and I will actually play AH3 matches, or better yet, MBAC PS2 since we didn't get around to it last time. :psyduck: lol
-
Due to a scheduling mishap at work, I actually have this Friday off. I originally requested time off for Final Round, but then ended up not going, so I submitted a request to cancel the vacation time... and they didn't cancel all of it. Oops. So if you want to come by early (or earlier), be my guest.
H-F: do you/can you make Sega Cup? I don't even know if you want to bother, and I've been wishy-washy about going by myself. :-\
I still need to teach Orrax and H-F my 12 minute absChizuru. 8-)
-
So, what time should I tell Ryan and Erik, then? 6, maybe?
EDIT: In case you don't remember them, Erik is Zeromus X and Ryan is LegendaryRath. They've both been to your place before.
-
After seeing the quality of play in VF at SCR? I'd REALLY like to go to Sega Cup but I'm not going to be able to accrue enough vacation time for it since I need a couple days in May. So instead I've been planning to get enough time off by the time Evo rolls around. I figure with my new schedule it might work out with Thu-Fri off so I'd need the Sat-Sun portion at best. But that's something we can discuss as time goes on.
-
So, what time should I tell Ryan and Erik, then? 6, maybe?
EDIT: In case you don't remember them, Erik is Zeromus X and Ryan is LegendaryRath. They've both been to your place before.
I'm terrible with names... yeah, 6 or so is fine, I'll probably just be playing Dark Souls 2 or something. Still only have one usable setup though (ourside of the poverty CRTs) -- maybe I should actually get around to repairing that other monitor (or just buy another one, sheesh).
After seeing the quality of play in VF at SCR? I'd REALLY like to go to Sega Cup but I'm not going to be able to accrue enough vacation time for it since I need a couple days in May. So instead I've been planning to get enough time off by the time Evo rolls around. I figure with my new schedule it might work out with Thu-Fri off so I'd need the Sat-Sun portion at best. But that's something we can discuss as time goes on.
aaaaa RIP. I'm still not sure if I want to go, although I have the time off so I could wait until the last minute to decide. Evo should be good -- and I think you want that Love Max!!!!! runback. I already have a room booked so you just need to give the word.

Ok, I let them know. Also, Ruben has expressed some interest in stopping by. How big are you willing to let this thing get? I wasn't sure if you wanted to open it up to any more of the Dustloop crowd or not.
EDIT: Hmm, I guess Ryan's friend Kevin (who has also been to your place before) might also be interested, which would be convenient because then Ryan would have someone to give him a ride. Otherwise, I'll drive him. I've told them I wasn't sure about how many people you were planning on having, but that I'd mention their interest here to check if you mind a few other people showing up.
-
Just know you'll be stuck with dippy for awhile. Im not officially off work till 9, then I don't get home till about 10:10-10:30. Ill put in for early release but no guarantees.
Also i have a used GTX 430 i'm sort of interested in selling. I know its old and crap but it can still run newer games.

I don't really have a problem with opening it up, but I do have one concern: there just aren't that many setups. I did get permission from Tempered to borrow one of his monitors, so we should have at least 2 displays plus a CRT.
-

I think Ryan said he would bring a setup. I can bring one as well if necessary.
EDIT: Erik said he could bring one, too, so it sounds like there will be enough and I may not need to bring mine.
-
Yeah, I'd say the primary concern if we're going to have this many people, is the number of setups. Then the space of where to put everything. The main setup has a PS3 connected but it also gets used for Melty as well. I was considering bringing a setup of my own, but it might not be necessary.
-
GGs to everyone one yesterday. Playing stick is awkward.
By the way, Tempered and Dippy, I think I left my PS2 pad and converter over there. I think I left it on the desk in front of the PS3. Can you check if it's there?

I found an extra converter and PS2 controller, I'm guessing that it's yours.

Sounds like it, and thanks. If you don't mind holding on to it, I'll just pick it up the next time I'm there.
-
GGs last weekend! If anything, I'm happy with the level of consistency I had with performing FRCs again. I just need to force myself to learn the new corner combos. :V Then I feel like my assimilation into +R will be complete.
Considering we were watching TTT2 on the FR stream and P4A was being played, I kinda lol'd when I saw this in my sub box earlier today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TQzkDTfrn0
EDIT: Oops, just stumbled upon this too. lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMF-hBqLEGs
-
Meetup later today? y/n?
-
Today impossible; closing today and opening tomorrow. Might be free tomorrow around 9ish.
-
I'm at work tomorrow until 10. blargh I wish I had my old schedule.
If our hosts don't mind I wouldn't mind stopping by for a little. I'd like to get out since I only had 1 day off last week.
-

Come on down if you want... I'm not not sure if anyone else is coming.
-
If I come, shall we do MBAC PS2? lol Kinda goes against all the +R and AH3 training I've done all week, but who cares?
-

I think the answer to this question is dependent on how drunk I am. :p
I actually want to play a bit of AH3! Really!... until you beat it out of me, anyway D:
-
Today's not really the best for me either. I might be able to work something out tomorrow, but I'm not sure yet.
-
Someone actually would like to play AH3 with me? What did I do to earn such a blessing? :psyduck: And I guess MBAC PS2 is one of those games that you'd only prefer to play while drunk. :| I'll haul over my (slim) ps2 anyway.
Since most people can't be there today, I suppose I'll have to wait until possibly next weekend to play +R with people again.
-
Anyone available tomorrow night?
-
I can be.
-
ill be available after work :V
-
I'll be here... I'm always here. D:
-
Anyone available tomorrow night?
Is this tonight (Friday) now? Because I can be as well, but not until pretty late, most likely sometime after 9 pm.
-
Tonight
-
Yup, tonight. I made sure I posted it yesterday and not in the early morning to avoid confusion. :| I'll probably be leaving around 6-ish or so.
-
Thursday or Friday this week? I can do either, and it seems Thursday might be better all around.
-
I was just about to ask the same thing because we were talking about Thursday working out better for most of us, but this stupid forum gave me that 403 error and it didn't go through. I would prefer Thursday honestly.
-
Either should work for me. Friday is better, but Thursday's ok too.
-
Either works for me.
-
I'm probably the only person who would prefer Friday... but only suckers work a 9 to 5. If people want to come by tonight, that's fine.
-
Only the privileged get to work a 9-5 M-F. :(
-
So... which day? I prefer Friday as well, but it really doesn't matter very much.
-
afaik it's still today
-
Ok. I wasn't sure because it seemed like everyone just said, "either day is fine."
Is there a time? Or is it just show up whenever?
-
Is it ever organized?
-
LOL PLANNING I'm here right now and Tempered should be home at :mystery: so come by whenever
H-F just wants to beat my ass some more in AH3. :gonk:
-
Thursday or Friday this week?
-
I'm really busy this week, so I don't think I can make either day. Or any other day this week, for that matter.
-
I believe dippy is out of town this week, but Tempered said if we do meet up, it will be later than usual. Likely when he gets home. I'd prefer Thursday (today) as usual, not like I'm doing anything important. :V
-
Tempered gets home at what...10-11? I'll probably pass in that case; don't think I'll feel like going anywhere by then.
-
yeah ill be getting home at like 11 tonight. probably gonna pass on hosting this week. been feeling lazy for the past few days.
-
Th/Sa this week.
-
Decision, decisions.
I won't be free on Thursday until late (I doubt I could show up before 9 pm), which is all right with me, but any other day would probably be better. I tend to show up a bit late, though, so maybe it won't matter much anyway.
-
Thurs. works best for me.
-
The one issue with hosting tonight is that I have work tomorrow and would be going to bed relatively early (10:30 or so). I'm not sure a) when Tempered gets home and b) if he even wants to deal with it. Let me text him and see what's up.
Edit: Tempered is OK with it, but he's not going to be getting home until late. I'll have to take the L until he gets back if people want to come tonight.
-
Tempered usually gets back around 10-11ish anyway, doesn't he?
-
Yeah that's what I thought. Is there anything different this time around? :|
-
He told me he wouldn't be back to 11 to Midnight. Which is a bit later than normal but nothing insane. Just let me know if you're coming through (or not).
-
I'm leaving now but who knows how long it'll take with traffic and all.
-
GGs in +R the other night. And thanks for playing AH3 with me. I must say I'm a little surprised at how much AH3 was played without my involvement. But I won't complain. See you guys next week possibly.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UCUqlhknqc might be interesting for Carlos. Youll probably want to mute the music tho.
-
So it's official, UNIEL release in July. Then P4U2 sometime after that this summer? I get the feeling I'll be the only one who will have any interest in AH3LM by then. :gonk:
-
I'm hearing that P4U2 is supposed to be released in August in Japan and September in the US.
I still have approximately zero interest in UNIEL, but I am planning on playing P4U2. Especially since they seem to be giving Chie back her plus frame(s) on 5A (I'm just shaking my head here, ArcSys). Way to release a patch that looks like it's going to change approximately nothing. I really hope I'm wrong about that, but I guess we won't know until we actually start seeing videos.
When's Love Max suppose to be released, again?
and lol Rise
-
Love Max is released at the end of next month. So it's before everything else. But because of that, its potential flavor of the month status will be long gone by the time the other games are released I'm afraid.
And yeah, I saw the bit about Rise too. :-\
-
If Rise is playable I just found my new main. Don't care if she's MvC2 Roll-tier :V
If it makes you feel better, H-F, I preordered LM. I'm not particularly hype for UNIEL; still skeptical because of its initial state. Of the two characters that interest me, the only one I'd actually play is Vatista since I'm not a fan of Carmine's gimmick. And since I have no interest in Xrd until Testament or Dizzy get announced...
-
Too much anime. For AH3:LM I was looking to go digital so anyone who wants to chop that purchase, get at me.
Also: when are you fools rolling through this week? Let's try to figure this out sometime earlier than the day of.
-
Thu-Sat works for me.
-
I'm not entirely sure yet, but I should be able to make one of Thursday, Friday, or Saturday work.

Well I do feel a little better knowing that. I didn't think you'd preorder LM but rather thought you'd still be soul searching as to why you hated the game so much. :V lol So I guess it's a pleasant surprise. Where did you preorder from? I know that AmiAmi and play-asia have the game up for preorder but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
dippy I'd like to get in on that digital release if anything for the day 1 access and something to hold me over until my copy arrives.
I'd be lying if I said I had no interest in trying out UNIEL especially when it kinda looks like some of the characters were designed with me in mind. :| But the game has been cleaned up quite a bit from when it first hit arcades so I'll give it a shot. Whether I'll stick with it down the road I can't say.
I can't say I'm all that excited about P4U2. If only because I wasn't in love with the first game, and lol ArcSys balancing.
Geez it feels like there's too many games coming up. Reminds me of summer 2012 when there were a lot of different releases too. :-\
As usual, Thursday is ideal for me unless otherwise noted.
-
Looks like its Thursday unless you guys agree upon something else. Any night works for me. I prefer Saturday myself but w/e.
Also this is the Metal Gear channel I mentioned last week HF. http://www.twitch.tv/uknighted
-
I hate AH's semi-functional corners and the stupid mechanic that forces you to reverse reversal inputs if you're knocked down a certain way. And some of the bullshit hitboxes. And I hate one-size-fits-all crap on principle, like the flower/love arcanas.
I've never completely hated AH3 though. It's just an unfortunate circumstance that Maori is annoying and Petra is kind of boring.
-
Any chance of opening this up to more of the dustloop people? I'm guessing more people might be interested since Ruben hasn't been hosting. I figure Brian, at least, will want to play some Guilty Gear.
I currently have no plans to buy Love Max, but I'm not unwilling to give the game a try, either. I should have some time this summer to pick up a new game, too.
I'm actually getting more and more excited for P4U2 as time goes on. Not because I think the game looks good, but because I think it looks fun. I can put up with some balance issues and a few questionable mechanics if the game is more fun overall, and it looks like one of my biggest complaints (lack of depth) isn't as true anymore. Only time will tell how accurate that is, though.
Obviously I'm more hype for Xrd than anything else. I just hope Sol doesn't get nerfed by the time it hits consoles -- after playing low/mid tier Sol for the past couple of games, I wouldn't mind playing high-tier Sol for a while.
again, lol Rise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDNbgYozx-U)

If people want to come by to play GG, that's fine. I don't want a house party in here but at the same time, I doubt that would happen on a Thursday night anyway. I made a comment about it in the Dustloop thread.
As for your concerns with both P4A2 and Xrd... this advice should help (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGh4ZU4H5Hk).
-
If we go in on P4A2, I'm going to have to insist on English voices for Rise. I always forget how bad her Japanese one is until I hear it. Rare instance of American dub being way superior to the Japanese.
Will probably get there around 6:30-7ish. Need to collapse for a bit after an unexpected shift this morning.
-
Passing on this week; finals are coming up, lots of shit to do.
-
It's that time of the year again. Best of luck.
And it seems that this (http://gematsu.com/2014/04/aksys-localizing-arcana-heart-3-love-max-amazon-leaks) just got leaked. I find it hard to believe that the game really did sell well enough considering the BS that happened around its original release date a few years back. But I suppose it's true if it's getting a disc release.

But I suppose it's true if it's getting a disc release.
If I remember correctly, the PSN release of AH3 did well enough, even with PSN blowing up a couple of days after it came out -- it had made PSN's top 10 in sales during the Spring and Summer period, and it was easily the most expensive game on the list. The games aren't too bad to localize in terms of cost (it's got to be a reprieve after some of the RPGs they handle), so I can't imagine that it would take too much for the game to be successful.
Arcana Heart, now with the totally necessary onsen episode!
H-F, are you coming by Thursday?
-
I should be available unless something comes up.
-
Aksys is a good choice for the localization; they did well with Accent Core and fixed all the bugs that were in the Japanese release.
I'm also out this week -- I'm super busy (also school stuff), and I probably need a root canal. Yeah, not a fun week for me.
-
Oh god, why? (http://kotaku.com/shaq-fu-2-is-happening-1572668014?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow)
-
Anyone coming by Thursday or Friday? I do have one request: if you're coming by on Thursday, try to come a little earlier. Starting at 8:30 or so last week was not fun to deal with the next morning.
-
Sorry about that. But I'll be available on Thursday as usual and it will be the only day I'm available since I'll be out of town for the weekend starting early Friday morning.
-
Can probably do Thursday unless I get bogged down in jury duty shit and kill myself. Dodged the early morning bullet, have to call in the morning and see if I'll be needed in the afternoon. Should be able to make it around 6 though.
-
I can probably stop by tonight as well, but, if so, I won't be staying late. I'll try to get there a little earlier to make up for it (still not before 6, though).
EDIT: I just woke up from a nap and I'm not feeling all that great, so it looks like I'm going to have to pass tonight.
-
Any of you jerkbags coming by this week?
-
I guess.
-
I think I can probably make it this week.
-
Might be able to do tomorrow; depends. Fri/Sat should be a go. We need more Deadpool.
-
I haven't been on twitter in what feels like a while and I seldom visit dustloop. So I didn't realize that the BBCP 1.1 patch just recently dropped. Oh well, Love Max in less than 2 weeks. I'll be glad to play another game that bears the ArcSys label but doesn't suffer from the "lol ArcSys balancing" trend as of late. Granted, ArcSys didn't do the balancing for LM to begin with, but maybe that's for the better given the recent trend. lol
Also I had some fun with the Deadpool game last week and I think it's pretty obvious what my favorite part of the game was. :V Although I am a little upset that my one and only death came from a non-combat situation. I can slay thousands of dudes but I can't get through a sliding sequence without dying. :-\ I know the game pokes a lot of fun at modern gaming, so where were the cheesy QTE sequnces? :-X If the Let's Play series is shifting to action games for the time being, I recommend the next one be Call of Gaiden 2 Veteran Ninja Difficulty - directed by Michael Bay and Carlos/Tempered try it. This time I put a suggestion on the table and if it happens, I forsee too many blowups to count. :-X
-
That's fine. Saturday might be best this week. Not sure I'll be awake enough after work today, but if today's what everyone else wants, I'll see what I can do.
-
I might be busy this Saturday, but I'm not sure yet. Ruben's also hosting on Saturday. Either tonight or tomorrow should work for me.
I'm guessing tonight probably works best for H-F, though.
-
Status update? Tonight still works best for me but not so sure about everyone else. It's just past 5 now. I'll probably be leaving within the hour or so in order to not arrive too late like a couple weeks back. :|
-
Carlos just texted me that if he does come tofay it wont be around until when im normally availabe. im fine with whatever as usual.
-
It sounds like H-F is probably on his way already, so I'll be heading out soon. I should probably get there by 7:30.
-
Watching Amane videos makes me want to play CP :psyduck:
-
I've been playing CP 1.1 a bit, and thus far it really doesn't seem bad. It's basically 1.0 except with some of the stupidity is missing, so it ends up being a bit more fun and a bit less frustrating.
-
Kokonoe bullshit was the main reason I gave up before I started. Might look into it. Maybe. There's already 3 other games on the way and getting involved with another game when I haven't even been working on what I already play seems like a bad idea.
-
Ill play some BB. Never really stopped just didn't have the time to play anything or practice for a while. Would still rather play AH or MB though.
-
I know I haven't been a big advocate for CP 1.1, but I'm not going to deny that it made some overall improvements to the game save for "lol ArcSys balancing" decisions. My issue is that Love Max is *checks calendar* TEN days away. So it kinda feels like this patch was released at a pretty inconvenient time (for me anyways) otherwise I'd have some incentive for trying it out. But given the circumstances, I don't feel like there's much of a point because I'll be far too invested into LM once it's here to be playing another game that I've barely spent any time with.
And if at all possible, I'd very much like to play me some AH3 next time we meet up if anyone would be ok with that. I can't remember the last time I did. There's really not much of a point to be avoiding it because LM is the same game at its core. People didn't stop playing GGAC when +R was on the horizon. If anything they started playing it again, if not moreso. Lately it seems that we've usually just been pressed for time and then there's scheduling conflicts and add to that our stellar planning skills. Yeah that's a winner of a combination right don't you think? :V But I just wanted to put this out there.

If you want to play AH3, all you have to do at this point is ask... at least until UNIEL is out. :x
Since this has gone so wonderfully well last time (and no, the SNESs still don't work) when are people going to be available this week?
-
Fri/Sat would be best.
Dippy, what's the plan for Evo this year? Leaving Thu and coming back Mon?
-

UNIEL...another bandwaggon that a number of people (myself included) will probably be jumping on. But who's to say I can't enjoy both? Granted I don't want to be playing too many games simultaneously because I'd like to have a focus.
As always Thursdays are ideal for me. Not sure about everyone else.
And the SNESs are still out of commision? What are the chances that TWO of them wouldn't be working yet the original NES is still going strong? :bricks:
-
Friday is best for me, but I should be able to make either Thursday or Saturday work as well.
No SNES means no Mega Man X speed runs. Or Secret of Mana 3-player. :gonk: I suppose we can try to beat Mario Bros. 2 again. Or, heaven forbid, run things on emulators. :psyduck:
I guess I could actually learn an activate combo and scrub things out with Weiss in AH3. It's not a game I'm particularly interested in learning (I'd even put it below UMvC3 and SF4), but if that's what everyone's playing, I will give it more of a chance.
I'm still mostly interested in +R, and I'm really looking forward to Xrd. I'd like to play more Melty, but that game seems on the back burner for everyone right now. I've been playing some CP because the online is decent and it only takes minimal effort. I'm willing to give UNIEL a try, but I'm moving to Tucson in August, so I'm not sure how much chance I'll really have to play the game.
-
Regarding the SNESs, I think there's some corrosion on the connectors on the mainboard. Seems to happen when the things are in storage for a decade. They should be cleanable once I get the things open, or the worst case is that I have to buy a new connector (apparently they come off easily enough). While I have them open I could mod them to support Super Famicom carts so I can play... my copy of Pop'n Twinbee. Yeah!
Fri/Sat would be best.
Dippy, what's the plan for Evo this year? Leaving Thu and coming back Mon?
The plan right now is to leave Thursday morning and to leave Monday around Noon, although there is a bit of flexibility in that in regards to when we can leave and come back. I do need to be there Thursday night though.
-
That's fine, just needed to know the days to request off.
Edit: Also, drills.
-
So lets get a concrete date this week so I know when to make time. Friday is really bad for me to host. I can if its best for everyone but im absolutely kicking people out at 1:30 - 2. Thurs and Saturday is preferred.
-
Thurs.
-
Working late Thu, wouldn't make it till 11pm+. Sat would be optimal.
-
Friday or Saturday are best for me, but I can do Thursday as well.
So I guess Ken and Koromaru will be playable in P4U2 as a tag team: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201405/22053587.html.
I wanted Koromaru by himself, but I suppose I'll have to settle for him in a hoodie.
EDIT: Something has come up and Thursday is looking worse for me. I may still be able to do it, but I'm not sure yet. I'd prefer Friday or Saturday if possible.
-
I would have no problem hosting on Friday, and honestly people don't stick around beyond 2 normally... do they? (Well, it does happen sometimes.) I would just end up kicking people out whenever I get tired. In other news, here's a table.
| Who | Thu | Fri | Sat |
| Dippy | - | * | * |
| Tempered | * | - | * |
| H-F | * | x? | x? |
| Ryd | - | x | * |
| Orrax | - | * | * |
It seems like Saturday would be the "obvious" pick. H-F, are you able to make it here Saturday at all?
-
Unfortunately I can't. Aside from Saturday being my Monday, I'm getting out at 11 on that day. I can do Friday if it works out better for more of us and it looks like its the next best option. :|
-
Friday then?
-
Friday is looking like the best option. Dippy taking over make sense.
-
If Ryd is OK with Friday, then that seems like it would work for everyone.
-
Yeah, I can make that work.

So I kinda feel like last night didn't go as well as I had expected. And I'm hoping that Ray and Erik didn't think that I was being a selfish jerk with my PS3. I just wanted to play me some AH3 after not having played it in a while, and with LM around the corner, is it all that surprising? Once again I have a focus and I want to stick to it. Maybe I should be taking it up with them but something like this would feel kinda out of place in the DL thread seeing that I don't post there very often. But I'd like to know if anyone thinks that my actions were out of line.
-
I didn't really see what happened. Did you kick them off or something? Or were you just kind of being a pest about it?
I thought it was a little odd that Ray left as early as he did, but I initially figured it was because Ruben didn't show up. In retrospect, it may have been because he wasn't happy with the games being played. Erik's usually pretty laid back about things, but, again, I didn't see what happened.
And, I dunno, I don't think saying something like, "Sorry if I came across as selfish" would be that out of place on Dustloop.
And GGs everyone. Mario Bros. 2 was hype. Soul Calibur II was considerably less hype for me, but shout outs to Carlos for actually getting me to play it.
-
Well I guess I was just a bit upset that the proposal to play AP on my PS3 was made knowing full well that the DL guys who "play" AP have practically zero dedication to it and I felt like my PS3 could be going to much better use. But I may have taken it a tad too far.
I did make a short post on DL about it because I owe them at least that much.
Also GGs in GG and Mario 2. lol I feel like this was an all-time low for getting hit by VVs but I feel kinda stupid looking back that I wasn't punishing with optimal meterless combos. Because I just remembered 3H (old 6H) is in the game and serves another purpose besides a meaty. It was THE move to punish whiffed VVs back in the day. :( And we FINALLY beat Mario 2.
As for SC2...lol. I played it a lot back in high school but my circle of competition was 2 people because I was just your typical high schooler without a job so we knew almost nothing about tournaments. I'll probably get in on the action sometime down the road when I feel like I just need to let loose and not care about performance. And I'll need to watch Aris's Xianghua tutorial, because I need to re-learn how to play such an easy character. :V
-
Landed Summon Suffering and Calamity Symphony yesterday; no regrets :laffo:
-
I have no idea what those are. Going to guess they're Amane moves. I actually kind of want to play BB now. 1.1 actually made Hazama interesting instead of j.c gorilla combos and matchups got a bit easier with the nerfs. Well except for Azreal and Kagura. Im still good for AH3:LM. Hype even and i'm serious about the Water Elsa main. Vsav bubble is the Water eclipse and looks like it can setup some dirty stuff.

I'm not worried about it at all, but to be fair, I really did want to play Aquapazza. :P I feel kind of bad about Ray/Erik not having somethign to play, because I was talking about getting another setup up more than once but never did it. I think I figured that if someone wanted it, someone would have poked me about it and then I would have set it up on one of the SD TVs or something.

You sure about that? Cassandra decked her for trying plenty of times. 8-)
I have no idea what those are. Going to guess they're Amane moves.
Come on -- you've never played Soul Caibur 2? They're Ivy's command grabs. That's almost as bad as you thinking Virtual On was a dating sim.
-
I actually only tried for Summon Suffering once against you, Dippy; Calamity Symphony twice. The time I actually landed SS was against Luke, which was a feat in and of itself given how many buttons he was pushing, lol. I'm actually kinda surprised I got CS that time because it was the obvious 3A 1A setup...but whatever, I'll take it :V You were breaking A throws all night though...gotta remember to hit B more often.

Well it was a pretty awkward situation all-around because iirc they were originally playing +R and unfortunately they got Order-Sol's Slash stage and caused the game to soft lock. So once the console was powered off, things kinda just went "eh" and nobody could really decide what they wanted to do. :psyduck: The mugen tourney was causing quite a distraction and things just didn't happen, so I made a decision. :-\
I also saw your reply to me on dustloop and lol. You said I had this weird look on my face. Things like this always spark my curiosity because I can never tell what my facial expression is in these awkward situations. I remember at Revelations a few years back, people said that I looked pretty angry or looked like I wanted to kill bell when I lost that one match to him in the tournament. I can't help but lol because it sounds pretty funny. I might try to dig up that stream just to see it but dunno how much success I'll have considering that it was a few years ago and who even knows if it's still around. :|
On a sidenote, bye bye Dark Aeons.
-
I'm going to guess that barring something crazy, people are coming by either Friday or Saturday. Speak up if you have any dumb objections.
H-F and Tempered, I should have your copies of AH3:LM by either Thursday or Friday. I'll give you the account details when they're ready.
-
Thursday is the only day I can make it this week. No exceptions. I have family visiting and there's a high probability that I will be busy Friday night.
And thanks for the update. The release date did get pushed back a little, but no big deal.
-
I don't think I can make Thursday. It's the day of my graduation ceremony, and I'll likely be doing something with friends in the program afterward. It's possible I'll still be free in the evening, but I'm not sure yet.
Either Friday or Saturday should be better for me.
-
Thursday - impossible, Friday - not very good, Saturday - workable.
-
well this week i'm going to be hosting on Thursday for love max. I might also host on Saturday but that would depend on my schedule. Dippy can host if he wants to of course.
-
I'll definitely be there tomorrow. Not sure when though. If more people can be there Friday, I'll see what I can work out. You might see me twice. :| I haven't done 2 trips in the same week in a while. But Friday did sound like a better alternative for some.
For reference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6NtHI2XvhM
-
If people are hosting Friday or Saturday, that's still better for me, but my previous plans for today were cancelled. It turns out that my fellow graduates will all be spending time with their family, which I'll be doing as well, but I should have some time later tonight.
Not sure how late I'll be if I stop by tonight. If either Tempered or Dippy are hosting Friday or Saturday, I'll probably just stop by then instead.
-
I'll definitely be there tonight. Tomorrow is still kinda up in the air for me though. If something goes down tomorrow night I'll see what I can do. As usual Saturday is never an option for me. :-\
-
Some sudden work has popped up last minute, and I have to get it done right away. I can't make it tonight as a result.
-
I know that yesterday wasn't ideal for most people, but if more people are available today (Friday), and Tempered/Dippy are ok with hosting again, I'm willing to make a 2nd trip. And maybe get the stream working?
-

No idea who would be coming by, but I put the notice out on Dustloop. I'm kind of out of it right now, but I'll probably feel better once I take a nap and have something to eat.
-
If that's the case, I'll probably be there around 6-ish or so. Hopefully the traffic is nowhere near as bad as it was yesterday. I'll probably be grabbing food before I head over.
-
So Thursday this week?
-
Fri/Sat.
-
Fri/Sat will probably be better for me than Thursday. I have some relatives in from out of town Thursday evening, which means I may not be free until late. The other days I will probably have time after dinner.
EDIT: Looks like either Thursday or Friday are pretty much the same for me -- I won't be free until after dinner. I should be able to make either day, though. Saturday is the BlazBlue ranbat.
-
Thurs. preferred, Fri. maybe. Or I might be crazy enough to make a double trip again. :| We'll see.
-
well ill be hosting friday until 1. dippy might be goodbfpr later. if people want to hangg out tonight ill be fine with it.
-
I'll probably be there sometime later today. Possibly tomorrow too(?). 2 trips won't be possible next week though since my parents will be visiting and I'll be treating them to dinner one of those nights.
-
Well, I couldn't make it tonight. I should be able to stop by tomorrow, though.
Also, Tempered and Carlos, I'm going to send you an invite to the BlazBlue ranbats on Facebook. I'm not sure of either of your interest in the event, but I figure it won't hurt to send it anyway.
-
Not gonna lie, I'd almost forgotten I had CP until I saw you linked the ranbat :V Might show up for kicks if it's free; spent enough money recently.
-
It's free. From what I've heard, it should be pretty low key as well, with a focus on casuals more than the actual ranbat itself.
-
I take back what I said before; Tone gives Petra oki on EFC combos. Effectiveness vs people will have to be seen, but it seems like they might be kinda dirty unless the opponent also picks Tone. At least vs one setup; not sure how meaty the others are. I think I might like it more than Poison, but I miss the awesome Counter B tele combos. And not having to worry as much about Weiss swords.
Thursday actually works for me this week.
-
Wonderful. <.< My parents are arriving Thursday and they're planning to fix a pretty big dinner. If I can make it, it'll probably be later at night. I remember Tempered saying that he has family visiting as well, so we'll see how things pan out. Thursday is still preferred since I like getting home knowing I don't have to go to work when I wake up.
You're still that scared of Weiss swords? lol There's so many stray hitboxes that you can get clipped by in this game that it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
I haven't decided on a main arcana but then again Weiss isn't entirely dependent on her arcana selection. I've been messing around with Sin, Mirror, and Fenrir. Sin creates a nice wall of defense to continue pressure after corner EF combos. Mirror gives free equips with the reflector and eclipse super. Fenrir for the obvious mortar strike. Love's eclipse super grants a universal equip combo at the expense of optimal damage which isn't too bad. Flower's multilayer is less effective although counter hit negation is still around and it still has a pretty fast burst recharge. Flower's eclipse looks like it would've been more useful if the petals didn't materialize so high off the ground. I've hardly used Flower at all this time around. I'm making an effort to use these less so as to not be spoiled by their fast burst regen speeds let alone use them as a crutch for sloppy defense. I'd like to become more proficient with additional characters which is also why I wasn't using Weiss as much last time.
I guess it's no surprise that I like the game? While not a new game entirely, it's an update that serves its purpose much like +R does. Characters who were less viable before have been improved. The abusable nonsense from the top and high tier characters from the last game have either been removed or adjusted. As such, none of them are truly overused. More variety with arcana selection thanks to eclipse supers. Damage still gets pretty high when you land the right hit, but survivability is more noticeable with the increased HP. Still, I won't say it's a perfect game, but definitely an enjoyable one.
-
I think I should be able to make Thursday work this week as well.
Sorry to interrupt the Love Max discussion, but here's some footage of Rise and Ken/Koromaru, among others, from a Twitch show the other day: http://www.twitch.tv/ultrachentv/b/537091579. Game play starts at about the 12 minute mark.
Ken/Koromaru look pretty strong to me. It's hard for me to tell what Rise can do yet -- looks like she has setups, but it's hard to tell how good they'll be from the stream. The highlight of the show for me, though, was at about the 17 minute mark.
-
If Rise really is a setup character, then Christmas came early this year.
-
I remember seeing someone landing a tone combo into a bunch more super tone sets for like 18k? ill definitely have to look that one up again.
-
18K damage with Tone? That I gotta see. Tone is one of those arcanas I was messing around with late AH3 and I do remember seeing some usage for it but can't find it anymore.
Since MMX was played last time, a friend of mine linked me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPHVVjAiaRs
-
Mega Man X music on 8 floppy drives is pretty neat, but what about an acapella (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyx9-kWYjDI)?
So, Thursday, then?
-
I'm not going to be available Thurs. Only Friday this week possibly.
-
I guess it's up to Dippy if we're going to do Thursday, then.
That said, Friday should work for me.
-
The ONE time in forever that 3 of us are available for Thursday. <.< I really don't know if I can do Friday at this rate. If dippy is ok with Thursday I might be there a little later than usual, but not too late hopefully. But I definitely won't be doing 2 trips this time around. :|
-
Sat might be open for me, too. Might have other plans, not sure yet.
-
From what I've gathered, I believe today is still manageable? Just that tempered may not be available until a little later than usual. Which is fine since I may not be available until a little later than I normally arrive. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
-
If people want to come over today that's fine. But i'm not going to be available until Midnight for games.
-
In that case, what time would be good? 6:30-7:00 like usual?
I was also considering inviting Ryan if that's all right (which may mean he'll bring Kevin along with him). He was asking me to try some Chie stuff against him next time there's a meetup. I think he's trying to prepare for the Evo P4A side tournament.
-
The issue with hosting tonight is Tempered won't be available until Midnight and I need to go to bed way before that. :|
-
So next week?
-
Yeah lets just do next week. Sorry guys.
If Dippy wants to do something tonight or Friday or Saturday its his house of course. But unless he says something i'm not leaving my room.
And for future reference you can invite anyone you like over. Just keep in mind the space and setup constraints we have. Probably don't want more than 10 people in the house.
-
Whats the plan for this week. Im available whenever. but as per standard i prefer Not Friday.
-
Would be late Thursday, not showing up till around 10 or so. Off on Friday, free Saturday afternoon though I may be dead that day.
-
Thursday preferred if possible.
-
I'm going to be out of town this week, so count me out.
-
I don't get off till 10 anyways so Thursday it is!
-
Will probably be there sometime between 7-8, maybe closer to 8.
-
Anything going on this week?
I just got back from Raleigh and I'd like to get some games in this week if people are down for that, since I'll be out for the next two weeks in Japan.
-

I wouldn't have a problem with it -- next weekend is the Fourth of July, and while I'm not doing anything other than going to work in the morning (since I live a sad life), I wouldn't expect anyone else to be available. The weekend after that is Evo, which... well... yeah.
-
Just need to know when people are good to show up this weekend.
-
Th/Sat.
-
Thursday (today), Friday, or Saturday should all be doable for me.
-
Well lets do Thursday aka Tonight then. Ill be trying to get off early today but if not ill be home at 10.
-
Ok. I'll probably stop by sometime around 7 (assuming Dippy's ok with that). I may also invite Ryan since I think he still wants to try some stuff out against Chie in P4A before Evo.
-

I'm fine with that, I'll be home by then.
Ryd, if you come by, can you bring your disc copy of AH3:LM?
-
Yeah. I'll probably be there around 9:15-9:30; family thing first.
-
A lot of the following is just being posted for documentation.
Games of AH3:LM!!!!! played between Orrax and Tempered: 5
Games of BBCP (w/English voices wtf) played between Orrax and Tempered: 2
*mutes game audio during BBCP*
*during BBCP* "Can we get another Melty setup going?" :psyduck:
and
(http://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1367/85/1367855549282.jpg)
Also just to plan ahead a little for next week, I'll only be available for July 3rd (Thurs.) since I'll be having dinner with family on the 4th and I have no idea how late it's going to last.
-
GGs to everyone last Thursday. I still suck at Melty.
And yeah, that's probably a record for the shortest time playing a fighting game. =/ Sorry Tempered, I hope you didn't want to play more BB or LM. I think I was just tired.
-
GGs to everyone last Thursday. I still suck at Melty.
I wouldn't use F-Akiha as a measure of how you're doing in MB unless you play one of the characters that has solid answers to her corner game and can force the match to constantly go back to neutral. Getting knocked down and dealing with her bullshit is one of the things I've (thankfully) never had to do, and the only real "answer" I've seen for most characters (not counting waiting for me to screw up) is to just make a choice and do it, no hesitation, because patience can get you killed. And pray you picked the option that'll get you out instead of getting hit and going right back where you started. I won't lie, her corner game makes up for a decent chunk of "skill" for the rest of the game. Getting forced into the corner with a pit under you is really a nasty place to be for most characters; you weren't doing too badly so long as you managed to avoid getting locked down, which is something. Also, you weren't free to my currently terrible F-Satsuki, so you're not that bad, even if some of it was simply a degree of boneheadedness on my part.
Edit:
First super-solid Testament I've seen in +R (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDiCuhv2u_g). Finally have someone who consistently puts MoP to good use instead of using it "just cuz" and not really doing anything with it half the time. Really makes me reevaluate Testament's otherwise-lacking corner damage options. The Faust matchup just got brutal on all counts. Nasty business.
-
And yeah, that's probably a record for the shortest time playing a fighting game. =/ Sorry Tempered, I hope you didn't want to play more BB or LM. I think I was just tired.
nah didnt care really lol. But yeah we should plan a little ahead this week with the 4th and all.
-
Th - doable
F - good
Sat - good
-
Thurs. - ideal
Fri. - highly unlikely
Sat. - impossible
Is anyone actually working on the 4th? I know my office is, but thankfully the holiday falls on one of my days off.
-
yeah im working on the 4th but its looking to be a short day.
-
I am; my shift starts in the morning, which is why Th is the least ideal day for me.
-
I'm working all day Friday, gotta get that fight money before going to Evo!!!
-
Anyone still available for tonight?
-
So we were kinda pressed for time during the session the other night because we all met up so late. Planning was kinda messed up due to the logistics. I was hoping to get some +R time in but was unable to due to time constraints. Would anyone possibly be available for a last minute/cram session on Wed. night? iirc none of us are leaving until noon on Thurs. I could probably get out 1-1.5 hours early on Wed. night and my packing would be done on Tues. I believe Carlos was going to put in a little training time with Maori? If so I guess it could serve as a quick crash course and we could get in a little +R time beforehand. But would this work for anyone? This all sounds rushed because my thought process is all jumbled up right now. :psyduck:
-
Working till 10:30 that night. Not sure how that works into plans.
Dippy, do you have a room at the venue this year? I should probably figure out where I need to be before I get there. Seems like it might be a good idea. Probably.
-
10:30? If I'm unlucky with ending work early, you wouldn't be arriving much later than I would.

Honestly, my thought in regards to this is that you should just pack your stuff before you go to work tomorrow, come to my place after work and spend the night here. It doesn't make much sense for you to leave late at night, go home, and end up coming back in the morning (during rush hour!). For Wednesday, you can come by and play for as long as Tempered will put up with it (which sounds pretty damn late, talking to him).
Working till 10:30 that night. Not sure how that works into plans.

I have a room at the LVH/Westgate (the damn name just changed!); we're saying at the hotel Evo is taking place at.
-
So cram session is good to go tomorrow night? Let's do this!
I know that staying overnight would make sense economically, but I already agreed to give my brother a ride to work in the morning and there's some quick shopping I need to do afterwards. Depending on when I leave tomorrow night/morning, rush hour may not be in effect. It will definitely be gone by the time I need to head back. I may not even get any sleep before we leave which is fine because I can save it all for the trip. :|
So we are staying at the hosting venue for Evo. I told a few of my old SoCal friends that I was staying there but wasn't 100% sure but it wouldn't have been much to correct myself.
-
I should be leaving work tonight around 9-ish or so. Just to double check, is my place en route to Vegas?
-
What room is Arizona at?
-
5125
-
Meeting up Thursday? If so, what do we plan on playing???
-
I'm definitely good for Thursday. As to what we plan on playing, I can't really say for sure. It might just be that time after Evo when things just slow down and there's not too much of a focus. I mean there is UNIEL next week though. I'm down for the usual +R, MB, AH3LM. Chaos Code I can't say for sure. I think I've left my mark on that game at this point. I was actually practicing VF stuff really late Sunday night, but I dunno. I'd prefer any combination of the first 3 titles that I listed though.
I still have that sinking feeling that when UNIEL and P4U2 come out I'll be the only one around here who'll still have any interest in AH3LM. :-\ Prove me wrong.
dippy, when you have the chance, let me know how much I owe you for the hotel room + gas. Also, Tempered, Carlos, and I also intend to split the cost for a digital copy of UNIEL so let's see if we can get that squared away so when it's here, all we need to do is download it when we all meet up the following week, provided it's the same day. By that I mean, setting up the JP PSN account, and deciding when/how to add the necessary funds.
-
I actually watched a lot of UNIEL match vids yesterday. I didn't know the bastard child of v-13 and Gilgamesh was in the game. I might play her alongside Vatista. Carmine is too sad when faster characters get in and I still don't like the thought of killing myself to do anything noteworthy. Don't get me wrong, his pressure and damage are solid and I saw him get some nasty crossups on some of that shit, but I'm not comfortable with the prospect of potentially losing because I threw out a fireball 40 seconds ago. I've had too many matches settled by a magic pixel to willingly give them away.
-
Probably going to be playing MB and AH3 myself. and Yeah we can work out the UNIEL split with Dippy since hes familiar with that stuff. Also I'm more than happy to drop AH3 to focus on UNIEL and MB if its expected of me.
-
With UNIEL coming up soon, I'm having a character crisis yet again, and it REALLY sucks. I've never had so much difficulty deciding on a character who I really want to play. Knowing you guys and speaking to a few others, I'm predicted/expected to play certain characters. And while each of the reasons I've heard from said people do make sense to a certain extent, they don't necessarily make the decision process any easier.
You wouldn't think I'd have this much trouble making a decision, but it's true. Maybe it's just so late at night that I can't think straight. And maybe I just said a whole lot of nothing.
-
Oh god dammit you would play on Thursday this week of all weeks.
Who's hosting, I may be lucid enough after 20+ hours of flying to pop in for a bit.
EDIT: Actually, whoever's hosting, send me a PM with the address? I'm getting in at like 6pm and then I'll probably eat and spend some time with the folks, and then if I can make it I'll try to head out around eight-ish.
-
Well we've been doing Thursday's normally for a while due to peoples wack schedules.
And to HF. Even I want to play 5 different characters at this point. Watching videos of people play doesn't emulate actually playing a character yourself. Only option is just to wait.

It's at the same place it's always been. I'm PMed you the address, just in case you lost it somewhere.
-
Heeeeey it's Andrew! It's been a while so it'll be good to see you again. Though a little notice wouldn't have hurt. :psyduck: You'd be visiting straight from a plane trip? Dang.
But yeah I have like 5-6 characters that I want to try out in UNIEL, but I shouldn't overload myself. They all have a color scheme that I like so I can't use that as the basis for selection. lol But yeah, let's see if we can get the JP PSN account stuff squared away tomorrow.
dippy have you totaled up all the cash I owe you from our trip? I need to make sure I don't forget to bring it along with Carlos's AH3LM poster.
-
I'm like...the only one with 2-3 characters in mind. Vatista, Hilde, and maybe be slightly scumbaggy and play Yuzu.
Welcome back, Andrew. Going to show off all those skills you picked up in Japan? :nyoro:
-
^ lol why would you do that to yourself considering you think she's the character I'd play? :gonk: I guess that means I'm only slightly scumbaggy since she's one of the character's I'd like to use? lol Whomever I end up using, is just going to prove that someone right. :-\
I also wonder if Nanase has a color scheme that makes her weapon look like an exact replica of the Soul Calibur. I'll have to look.
Numakie will be re-streaming Evo Melty top 8 tomorrow night at 8 pm PST. Haven't had the chance to re-watch any of the Animevo streams because yesterday I watched the UMVC3 finals and the grand finals for USF4.
I suppose I'm done talking about UNIEL for now. No sense in getting overly hype for a game that's not here yet (but just around the corner) and have NO idea how long anyone is going to stick with it. P4U2 comes out next month and I believe it's region free. I personally plan to skip out on it because by then, there's just too many games to be playing. I might mash buttons here and there to take people to the rave, but meh. Then in the not so distant future, Xrd will be here. And I will NOT be skipping out on that.
-
Advance warning, hah! I was planning on asking who was hosting this morning when I saw the talk about it being Thursday. It shouldn't be a problem though, I might honestly just stop off at home long enough to shower and then head out, honestly not sure.
Carlos: I will show you the skills I have developed doing literally everything but playing fighting games. I still remember my basic H-Roa shit at least.
Dippy: Thanks, I kind of remember the location (up by Fiesta right?) but not well enough to drive it by memory.
-
Oh look my plane to Sky Harbor is delayed half an hour.
Why is United so bad?
-
Oh look my plane to Sky Harbor is delayed half an hour.
Why is United so bad?
Only a half-hour? Pfft, that's practically on-time by airline standards. At least you're not flying over Romania. D:
-
Dippy, I left the money under the right computer speaker.
-
No more spiking Gatorades in the house!!!
Dippy, I left the money under the right computer speaker.
I thought I was seeing shit when I got home from work.
-
Apparently I was supposed to be a witness. lol
lol the Gatorade.
-
So I got the PSN account up, Ill be looking into getting the points late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Just bring your monies and PS3s on Thursday or no download.
-
Not a problem. I won't be passing on that day 1 access. Depending on how much extra time off I have, I might use it for next weekend. :| Not so sure. But I'd like to crack out pretty hard when the game is finally released.
Don't think that I've given up on AH3LM entirely. I'll be purchasing it once it gets released here. And while its flavor of the month status may be gone, UNIEL still has a lot to live up to, at least for me. But I'm definitely going to give this game a fair chance. And then there's P4AU next month for those who'll be playing it. :V
-
I'm back from Japan!
Can I get in on the day-1 UNIEL access?
Also, I watched the top 8 of Melty from Evo. Congrats to H-F for second, and to Carlos and Tempered for getting top 8.
-
Hope you had fun during your trip!
So you want in on day 1 UNIEL access? If so, you're just the person we need because I don't think we have a 4th person to split with just yet and if we have 4 people the split will work out much better. Tempered can fill you in on the details.
And thanks. That was me playing Melty for the first time in I dunno how long. lol I somehow managed to get 2nd in Chaos Code as well after not playing it in well over a year at the very least. But yes, we had all of Arizona in top 8 for Melty because all of them (except me) were in the same pool. And by all of them, I mean 3 of us. dippy defected to NorCal so he's no longer relevant. :V
-
Oh god, that stream where I fucked up like everything vs Viskar, and everyone was probably wondering how I got that far, lol :emo: At least vs Tempered, things were a little smoother, but we both swear that setup was randomly eating inputs. And then the H-F match.... :slowpoke: Would have played Sacchin if I'd gotten more practice on that stupid link beforehand.
-
Yeah Luke can be the 4th. sounds good. Split for Uniel's going to be 18 per with 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1rv4GAZoho&feature=youtu.be new fatal frame it looks like.
-
That's pretty random to post. lol Sort of.
I currently have no cash on me so I hope you or someone will have some change to spare when I bring a 20. :|
-
Hope you had fun during your trip!
My trip was a lot of fun. I got blown up in Xrd a lot, haha. The competition was fierce.
I'll try to have exact change when I get there. I assume this means we're meeting on Thursday?
-
Yup
-
So provided that we're all meeting up on Thursday night, let's try to get some of the logistics squared away. When we're all there, we're going to have FOUR PS3s that need to download and install UNIEL which is going to take some time depending on how large the game is. Now to put things into perspective, since we will have 4 consoles each with a digital copy of UNIEL, will we have enough setups to accommodate them? I get the feeling this launch party could be pretty huge, so we're definitely going to need setups. And I think 4 would be a good number since we're definitely not getting by with only 2. Just my thoughts.
dippy you said that you'll be off on Friday as well? If that's the case, and if people are available on that day, I'd be willing to make a 2nd trip for more grind time because I get the sinking feeling we will be pressed for time Thursday night. Sounds crazy? Not quite as crazy as all the stories I heard when P4A first came out and people were staying overnight wherever for 14+ hour sessions. It's not going to be like that. But my logic, is to get as much time in with the game and learn all the systems & basics crap as fast as possible to get them out of the way and then truly begin focusing on my character(s) and/or matchups.
-
I'm not doing the super late email thing as much anymore so my monitor is available for use as well. Unless the dust loop guys come (which is fine, they just usually don't show up on Thurs) 2 setups should be fine really.
-
Well I think the dustloop thread might be a good indicator of how many we're expecting to show up. Besides, how dope would it be if we had FOUR setups for this on launch day? I still get that sinking feeling that 2 might not be enough, so I might bring my monitor just in case.
-
If everyone who posted about coming by on Dustloop comes by, we will definitely need more setups. I'll likely bring my monitor as well.
-
Yeah, I mean it does sound like we're going to have a sizable crowd if everyone does show up even if half of them are "maybes". But if there's one setup that doesn't get used, oh well. Free training mode for whoever wants it. But yes, FOUR setups. 8-)
Also, great, another cheapass who uses webs. :-\ I wonder if I can discharge them with a simple 5A.
-
You guys streamin' this?
I wanna watch.
-
We will probably be streaming this tonight yes. But its day 0-1 play for everyone so its going to be some booty butt cheek play.
Nice to hear from you Sam!
Also this has very bad quality but goes into mechanics for UNIBE:L http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x21fg7l_uniel-beginners-workshop
-
What time should we stop by today? I was thinking it might make sense to stop by a little earlier to get the download started, say 5:30 or 6:00.
EDIT: Also, just in case you missed it, Ted asked for your address on Dustloop. I guess he and Darrell are considering stopping by.
-
dippy's not replying in here because he actually DID defect to NorCal. lol
-
Since H-F asked, the notation for that Vatista combo is:
2A 2C 5C[8] delayed [j.B] (pause) j.2[A] 2C 2]A[ 3A 6C 3]B[ 4A[2] 8B
3A 6C 3]B[ to preserve a [6] charge for the laser after releasing the second crystal. 2A 6C 3]B[ also works, but I had some consistency issues if I was slow to move to 6 after the 2A from going back to neutral or something. You're never charging more than two things at once, which I guess is nice :V
-
lol that combo looks like a mess. And I thought Saki was weird with her charge motions. But the time between each charge move was pretty large and didn't involve multiple directions so they were never overly difficult.
GGs in UNIEL last night again. I was hoping to get more of the Eltnum vs Vatista match to see which of the 2 characters I'm using I can perform more consistently with but unfortunately it got cut short due to hardware failures. :( For that match specifically Eltnum's 2C and 236C seem to be good whiff punishers, but the match still has to be played pretty slow.
Also, dippy/Tempered, if you guys are ok with hosting again, let me know. As you can see I'm still fiending for matches. :-X This is one of those rare times that I actually have a Saturday off and I'd like to make the most of it. I suppose let the DL guys know if anything is going down as well and if any additional setups would be needed if anything goes down.
-
"Specialty: Counter Nullifying
Vatista nullifies the properties opponent would gain from a counter hit. Meaning the opponent's combos will be shorter since they don't get long hitstun, and that the opponent can't pick Vatista up from a downed state."
That sounds fair :V
Still need to find an answer to the question of "who do I want to play when I don't want to work so damn hard?"
-
What days are you jerkbags good for this week?

Yes, Vatista has Flower arcana passives. But she can still be GRD broken.
Who to play when you don't want to work so hard? Gordeau. Besides, I don't think anyone in AZ is officially playing him.....yet. :-X Any matchup experience also helps.
What days are you jerkbags good for this week?
The defector has returned? :psyduck: I'm good for Thursday as well. Your copy of UNIEL is arriving this week? I'll likely bring a setup as well if needed. 4 setups on launch day was great.

I know I said I was considering a scumbaggy character, but... :slowpoke: I'll leave that level of faggotry to the people who can live with it when they sleep at night. I've actually been considering Byakuya. The more I play around with him, the more I like him. Especially after seeing the oki setup someone created for him:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtoOkOrCUAAtWaZ.jpg)
What do you do when you wake up into that? :psyduck:
Probably not going to bother with Carmine. He has a lot going for him that I like, but I just find him aesthetically unappealing. If he had an anime pompadour, it'd be a different story.
-
Thursday works for me.
Who to play when you don't want to work so hard? Gordeau. Besides, I don't think anyone in AZ is officially playing him.....yet. :-X Any matchup experience also helps.
I've been playing Gordeau a bit. He is pretty scumbag, on top of being brain-dead. Coincidentally, Byakuya is probably my most annoying matchup when I play Gordeau. I have a feeling that Byakuya could end up being pretty strong, and possibly pretty scumbag as well. ;)
Either that or I just don't know how to fight against him.
-
Oh, he has some dirty shit. The dash that sets a ground web is a command throw at certain distances. His web->hop strings looks like it might be a legit crossup since the net doesn't connect until after he hops over and lands.
-
I find it a little funny that we recommended Byakuya but originally you passed him off as being kinda meh. A new character will take some time to explore.
Also, the 22v22(?) that went down a few nights ago was kinda funny. This Vatista player double perfected this Merkava player with only 2 moves because his C button was busted. lol I was a little surprised when some people recognized me in the stream chat under a different name somehow. :-X
-
Tempered or Dippy, are either of you going to post on Dustloop that you're hosting tomorrow? I figure a lot of Dustloop people would appreciate the chance to play, assuming you're down to accommodate more people.
-
If there's going to be as many people as last time, we WILL need all those setups again. I should be able to bring one if needed. Dunno if dippy's copy has arrived yet.
-
The defector has returned? :psyduck:

I was going to mention it on Dustloop earlier... but I got lazy. That was kind of the intent of finding out earlier in the week, to be honest.
As for setups, my copy did come in and through black magic oOoOoOoOoOo I have a third copy, as well. So we have three setups, which should be good unless 12 people decide to show up again.
-
I can bring my setup as well if need be.
-
GGs from yesterday. Once again, it kinda felt like we were pressed for time, or maybe I was so I didn't get to play against Ted's Nanase or Carlos's Byakuya or Carmine. I'm trying to get as much matchup exposure as possible but I suppose there's always next time.
Luke did you say you were packing for Tucson today and actually heading out there tomorrow? Was going to see if you had time to try netplaying later today so we can see how good the connection is. But I believe you said you'd be busy packing or something.
-
Yeah, I'm moving tomorrow, so I'm probably going to be busy tonight, but I might have some time depending on how much I get done.
-
Good for Th and/or F.
Dippy, what did you use to run your PS3 on the ASUS monitor at EVO?
-
Good for Th and/or F.
Dippy, what did you use to run your PS3 on the ASUS monitor at EVO?
My PS3? I just plugged the damn thing in. :p
Are you asking about how I got a PS2 hooked up? I ran the PS2 through a Live Gamer Portable -- it upscales with about zero lag.
As for sessions... I'm not really sure. Let me check to see if Tempered's even up for it.
-
Thursday is fine like usual.
-
Seems like you've got a few inquiring minds over on dustloop, looking to play some UNIEL.
I will probably be able to make it tonight.
-
Seth so hype. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7p6JC3xRSz8#t=1007) There are some fun matches in the whole set; the odd Chaos and Seth in particular.
-
So some issues have popped up and were probably not going to be able to host for about 2 weeks. Sorry guys. :bricks:
-
No hosting for 2 weeks? Ouch. What happened if you don't mind me asking? If it's too much of a hassle then don't mind me.
I was watching some of those matches from a couple posts back, and aside from the Seth and Chaos players, I noticed some names, like kubo(Byakuya)? Dang.
I suppose a session for this week will depend on who can host. I might be able to host for 2-3 people which is really small sadly, but my place just isn't ideal for hosting. This was more or less our plan B for last Friday.
edit:
Stumbled upon this Seth combo movie. http://t.co/rSYrInQNRM
-
So, Rise's EX DDR super does 6k damage for a perfect. Sounds fair :laffo:
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LVLOnEFjS8 I shouldn't do this but you'd probably find out eventually anyways
How does it feel knowing you're playing a Touhou now carlos?
-
Can't be a Touhou since she doesn't have a silly hat. I don't know if it's worth trying to learn; it seems likely to get fixed whenever they roll out the update. Also kind of pay-to-win like Coren's description of C-Roa. It looks pretty cool, but I'd question actual viability; air approach with a lot of shield should be able to get through that without too much trouble while guaranteeing vorpal, and from what's been tested, it seems you can't charge flashkick while doing that nonsense.
-
I remember the time when Carlos (wrongly) accused me of having a Reimu fetish or something like that back when we were playing DoA5U a while back. How one could come to such a conclusion is beyond me. Who would believe that? I sure can't. :|
So, Rise's EX DDR super does 6k damage for a perfect. Sounds fair :laffo:
OF COURSE it's fair. You have to be perfect in order to land it, which no one really is. Just like perfect edin, no one can land it. N O O N E. :V

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GIl_2MOINw
Anything happening this week? I will be in town this weekend, so I could potentially attend a Friday or Saturday hosting.
Also, P4U2 is coming out! I'm excited, although it looks like I'll have to wait a while longer to try Adachi.
-
Unfortunately I don't think any of us are getting P4U2 via JP PSN so you may have to hit up the other guys for the day 1 access. If a session happens this week I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend but we'll see. Thursday would be ideal if possible.
-
I'm about as interested in P4AU as I am a swift kick in the dick. And honestly, if it was from a cute asian girl or something, I might go with the kick in the dick. :gonk:
As for a session this week... probably not? I do feel kind of bad not having people get their inbirthing in, but I haven't been in any mood to play fighting games recently. Call back next week (or if you want to play Aquapazza... I would have put VF here but H-F might actually take me up on that).
-
I honestly won't have a lot of time to put into P4U2 even when it does get released here. It won't be a main game for me but I'll definitely mess around with it a little when I get the chance.
I wouldn't worry about people not getting in on the UNIEL action because I think everyone is still getting plenty of it because stuff goes down elsewhere. It's just that I haven't been able to attend anything offline because of my schedule and I hate online with a passion which is why I haven't been playing UNIEL as much recently. That doesn't mean I'm giving up on it though.
You're right, I would take you up on the VF offer, but would you take me up on Melty Blood HD remaster (if you know what I mean)? lol
-
Checking back a week later. Anything going down tonight by any chance? Though I haven't played FGs in a bit. If not I'll bug Tempered if he has time for any online stuff tonight.
-
Checking back a week later. Anything going down tonight by any chance? Though I haven't played FGs in a bit. If not I'll bug Tempered if he has time for any online stuff tonight.
I'm about 98% sure nothing is happening tonight, as most of the AZ anime players want to play P4AU right now and I want nothing to do with that. That and I've been told by my doctor to basically cut it out with the fighting games, at least until I can get my stress levels down a fair bit. :gonk:
-
Did they really tell you that? lol Ah well, maybe that's good advice. :-\
I suppose it's best to just let the current flavor of the month dry itself out before people go back to being indecisive about what they truly want to play. I'm still a little disappointed that I haven't been able to attend anything offline in a while. But then again, it's not like I've had a shortage of games to play. AH3LM is getting its US release later this month so I'll definitely be picking that up.
I haven't been able to catch Tempered online in a while because it feels like forever since we've played online. He still needs to pick up COD4. :-X
-
We should do something this week. I'm going to be honest: I would much prefer hosting on Friday, given how late Tempered usually gets back on Thursday (and that reminds me, I need to get on fixing that bike), and I really shouldn't be up that late when I have work the next morning and I need to be up for work at 4 AM or so. I'm also not sure if I should have a full house, although if it was on Friday people would probably have to leave earlier (since Tempered would want everyone out by Midnight-1 AM or so).
-
Thursday/Friday seems to have always been somewhat of a conflict for one person or another. But regardless, I believe Tempered gets home kinda late on both nights. It's just that Thurs. tends to work better for him because he usually has an early start on Saturday morning. For me I tend to prefer Thursday only because I like waking up the next morning knowing that I don't have to be at work that day. It's not that I can't ever do Friday, it's just not preferred is all. And a full house? Space has been pretty limited and a few awkward situations have come as a result. But nothing that couldn't be dealt with.
I've been out of the FG loop for the past month and as such I've been playing other games. I'd feel out of place trying P4U2 right now, or at least until it gets released here. But I'm good for AH3LM or UNIEL. Maybe even some VF or...MBHD. :-X
-
Working till 10:30 Th, off Fri. Should I actually practice something then? Haven't touched UNIEL (or anything) since around the last time you hosted...
-
^ Neither have I. I was wondering if you were really busy or something because you've been kinda quiet. :| Then again this thread has been like that for almost the past month.
-
Fridays are fine now. I work less hours on sat now since they're tired of paying me to do nothing for 8 hours. We don't have P4U2 so unless one of you nerds have it practice up uniel.
-
I would just always assume that Ryd is either practicing the violin or playing Pokemon.
I'm not even sure what we're playing (and not it's not a devious trap to bait everyone into playing Aquapazza). Practicing UNIEL is probably a good bet. Unless I just end up tying H-F to a chair and I make him play VF for 6 hours.
-
Last few weeks have actually been mostly reading and making the mistake of starting FF14. I'm waiting on the US release for P4U, and wouldn't play it even if you had it since I'd need to training mode up regardless of who I wanted to play. UNIEL it is, though I've been meaning to really start the Zato/Eddie grind...admittedly, Vatista will probably help a lot toward that end.
-
dippy, shouldn't you be hitting up your NorCal BFFs for AquaPazza? I'm sure they'd be thrilled to see you. Just sayin'. :nyoro:
I'll be sure to practice a little UNIEL before we meet up but I'm definitely down for AH3LM too. No, I haven't forgotten about that game even amongst all the UNIEL and P4U2 hype that has come and gone. Though it will be kinda jarring to play them both so close together since one encourages you to jump and the other frowns upon it. :-X
-
So after meeting up for the first time in just over a month, here's how things went:
the game whose name doesn't deserve to be mentioned + UNIEL/AH3LM training mode > Injustice training mode > MBHDR > MBHDR training mode > VF5FS training mode + AquaPazza training mode > UNIEL matches + AH3LM training mode > UNIEL matches (now with Linne salt)
I suppose that somewhere in that mess I can see some level of progression. :-X Although powering off the PS3 to stop that game whose name doesn't deserve to be mentioned at least for a short time was probably the most productive thing I did all night and all it took was the flip of a switch. Thank god the setup had no sound on it. See no evil, hear no evil. I'll take that. :toot:
Tempered missed the MBHDR action and he sounded like he kinda wanted in on the action. I suppose next time I should at least have the MB soundtrack added, and maybe a few more characters if I'm not too lazy to grind for cash. lol
-
You know, I figured we would have had less of an issue finding games to focus on after games started coming out... that ended up being completely false. Nice to be seeing people again, at least. That monitor seems to be on its last legs though, which sucks.
H-F, if nothing else those corners in MBHD need to be fixed!!!
-
So it really is the monitor and not the HDMI cable? I figured as much. :(
I'll see if I can add a 2P corner crossup in MBHD for next time. :P
-
if your talking about my acer monitor i'm pretty sure it doesn't have speakers to begin with. But yeah it was nice to get some non netplay matches in. Ill play some other stuff for fun like MBHDR and P4U2 but the only game ill play with any semblence of seriousness are going to be UNIEL AH3LM and MBCC
-
Anyone available this week?
-
Anyone available this week?
I'm up for having some people over on Friday. Maybe by then I'll actually have practiced something! (probably not)
-
If last week is any indication, then you have A LOT to practice for. :| Funnily enough now that I think about it, I think that there was more time spent in training modes for whatever games than actual matches being played. :V
-
Friday works.
-
Alright guys, thanks for playing AH3LM with me yesterday. This may be kind of trivial but I feel like I don't express enough gratitude for the even the little things. But I'll be pretty happy when my US copy arrives.
I've been having some trouble assimilating back into our little circle. Well either that, or I've just forgotten what it's like to play a game for fun because I've been so tense lately, whether it shows or not. Maybe I should get in on the random games every now and again and just not care about anything. It could probably help with my disposition.
Though talking about the stuff leading up to Evo 2010 and stuff that happened in the Fatal Frame games was fun. A good way to end the night.
-
Friday, like usual. Anyone bothering to show up?
-
Possibly.
-
I'll be there after Lindsey Stirling's performance.
-
My Advanced Warfare player card:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BybDnShCYAE2g2T.png:large)
-
GGs in Melty the other night. In spite of all these shiny new games like AH3LM, UNIEL, and P4U2, it's always possible to go back to Melty. It's like our past time now. Never forget. :-X
Random musings regarding Advanced Warfare for anyone who's bored enough to read on...
Things that I've seen that I like so far:
- Pick 13 system (ala Black Ops 2)
- Scorestreak system (ala Black Ops 2)
- Individual scorestreak loadouts per custom class (ala MW3)
- The return of Pipeline (from COD4)
- UAVs can be upgraded to Orbital VSAT (o.O)
and most importantly....
- AIRDASHES (!!!!!)
I still reserve all my doubts and have a lot of questions about other things in the game which is probably why I still won't do a day 1 release (or day zero in this case herp derp). But I hope they don't fuck this up like last year.
-
Aww man, I missed Melty? Then again I was tired enough that I would have played like crap anyway. I need to stop being so old.
Completely unrelated: You wish you could no-sell explosive shurikens like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpWSf3sH8i8&list=PL7pZq3Oh7j7lIwAMhEnvcis8wmDINdotV).
-
^ I proposed a while back that should be the next LP title. lol
But yeah, there was Melty the other night. You don't remember helping the other guys set up your PC so we could play it? :|
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUSXBj0HuQI
TTT2....a BALANCED game...
lolololololol
I'm sure that any sane person would have stopped watching at that point but I was curious to hear why he ranked some of the characters the way he did.
-
So Ninja Gaiden becomes a Michael Bay movie on that difficulty? Also yeah Melty was great. Dont worry about it.
Those COD updates look pretty nice. Nice if it works out. If not oh well.
Also lol at Aris going on a rant about listening and looking at opponents buttons. too many water breaks as well :V.
-
All you missed was Tempered trying to do UNIB combos. It worked out about as well as it sounds.
-
Do you guys want to actually try playing UNIEL/P4AU for... well, semi-real? Do you want me to start opening it up to some of the other anime players again?
All you missed was Tempered trying to do UNIB combos. It worked out about as well as it sounds.
Part of me kind of hopes that French Bread puts Sion/Eltnum in every game they work on, just to see the dumb shit Tempered does. :V
-
Just thought I should let you guys know that I'll be driving down to Phoenix this weekend, so I could probably make a Friday hosting if you're up for it.
Also, I don't know if anyone's interested, but there's a free P4U tournament on Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/events/1496587473891852/?sid_reminder=6082582351597010944
-
I work Th/F/Sat this week. Can make it after 9 though.
-
Do you guys want to actually try playing UNIEL/P4AU for... well, semi-real?
I plan to focus on MB Uniel and AH3. maybe screw around with P4U2 some.
-
Do you guys want to actually try playing UNIEL/P4AU for... well, semi-real?
GG/MB/AH3LM/UNIEL. So I'm more or less on the same page as Tempered. I probably won't be picking up P4AU but I'll mess around with it a little given the chance.
Also, there's a good chance I might not be available Friday night. Would Thurs. possibly work for anyone just for this week?
-
GG/MB/UNIB/P4lolz
Rise is hilarious, even if she's bad. Yukari is so corny she's good, and wtf@highly mobile zoner. Insult to injury for Yukiko: they nerfed her laugh; absolutely no reason to play her anymore, RIP.
-
OK so I'll be doing stuff for Friday, and I already texted H-F about Thursday.
-
Double post because screw it, I own the place.
If anyone wants to come by Friday, go for it... but who would even be reading this? Ryd?
-
click (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/10/07/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-available-for-ps3-ps4-cross-buy/)
blargh. I might actually day 1 (or day 0 in this case) this game for this alone.
If my OT gets cancelled tomorrow then there's a small chance I might be there.
-
@work until 8. I'll stop by after if there are games to be played.
-
How does this Friday look for you jerkbags?
-
Not sure. If I need to do the whole Thurs. deal again I'll let you know. With any luck I'll find out my new schedule tomorrow and I'm hoping to get one of the weekend days off at the very least.
-
Thurs/Sun would be best.
-
OK then, come by on Thursday -- Tempered's OK with it.
-
Melty throwback night?
-
Anyone want to come down tomorrow or Friday? H-F, did you get an updated work schedule yet?
-
Thurs?
-
Thursday or Friday.
-
I can't really promise anything, but I will be driving down to Phoenix this weekend, so if you host Friday or Saturday I will try to stop by.
-
Okay, Friday.
-
If both Carlos and HF prefer Thursday, don't do Friday for me. I'm not even sure if I can make it yet.
-
Friday works as well as today, and I have a few things I should do anyway.
-
If necessary, I can do both days. lol 4-day weekend. 8-)
-
Friday it is, then. I'll also put it up on Dustloop in case anyone's looking for games of GG or UNIEL or Melty or Aquapazza.
-
GGs to everyone the other day. I guess it was MBAC revival weekend.
Also, just in case you haven't seen it, there's a UNIEL, Persona, and BB tournament next weekend: https://www.facebook.com/events/702378993191407/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular.
-
I'd say that I'd be able to go on the event page, but I forgot my login credentials. :V
-
You could make a new Facebook account.
Just a thought. :V
On an unrelated note, I've never been entirely sure what :V emoticons are supposed to communicate. Which I think is kind of the point? Oh well, whatever.
-
:V is :V. Goes well with blatantly being an ass of some sort, and showing that you know. And don't care.
-
its duckface :V V:
-
Oh man, Ray wants in on the MB HDR action. He is SO not ready. :laffo:
On another note I did tell him about the Panda/Dragunov team we were joking about a couple years back and he laughed so hard.
-
GGs last night. Not sure how things will work out next weekend though.

I'm guessing Saturday is the new day now? Although I figure H-F and Tempered are just going to play the new CoD all night. That was one of the good things about Ghosts sucking so much: not having to hear you guys play it constantly. :p
-
I'm still ok with meeting up on Saturday night for FGs. Just not sure if there's anything happening at UAT this weekend. I'll need a short break from AW anyway because I'll be hitting 1st prestige tonight. And as far as I'm concerned, there was no CoD game for the past year. But if you're in the same room as someone who's playing CoD, what else do you expect to hear other than cursing and complaining about how shitty the teammates are? :psyduck: For the record, our VERY first game of Momentum only lasted 1m39s because our teammates had NO idea how to play the game mode.
-
I might pass this week; at least on Sat. I have to wake up on Sun around the time I usually get to sleep :bricks:
-
There's nothing at UAT this weekend, but Ruben is hosting Friday night. Would Sunday work better this weekend? Or is Ryd going to want to kill himself after being up that early?
-
Work on Sunday is 6:30-9, 2-7. Fuck meetings :emo:
-
There's a 5 hour gap in that shift? wtf Reminds me of the time when I was back in college, I had a schedule where I only had 2 classes for Tue/Thu and they were at 8 am and 5 pm. Those 2 start times were the earliest and latest possible times that classes would be held. WORST combination ever. >:(
I suppose if you guys are ok with having a visitor this weekend, Saturday would work best for me.
-
In an unprecedented show of rationality, the early morning meeting was canceled. I can show tomorrow if you guys want games.
-
Rare footage of sanity actually prevailing... but not here. I don't have an issue with people coming by on Saturday.
-
Let's try to plan ahead for on-ahahahaha who am I kidding.
This week: DBFC comes out and I'm pretty sure no one cares. Come see my waifu. What are people's schedules?
Next week: The new Smash comes out. That should be amusing for the luls, if nothing else.
Week after next: Thanksgiving! Black Friday! I'm guessing people aren't as sadlife as I am and have family to deal with, but I can prepare something over the weekend? And I might have those days off? Maybe.
For anyone wondering, it looks like UAT is available on Sunday the next few weeks but I don't think anything has been confirmed yet (or if it has, I'm not aware).
-
I'm not sure what DBFC is but I don't think I'd have any interest in it based on what you have to say about it. :-\ But I guess that would just prove your point. x_X I'm down to mess around with the new Smash but won't be playing it very seriously considering Xrd is around the corner. But I hope it's fun.
This week I should be available on Saturday. UAT appears to be available for the remaining Sundays of this month. Not sure which ones I'll be going to because I like to leave Sunday as my off-day where I don't need to do any traveling.
For the week of Thanksgiving, I have family visiting. Though I'll try to see if I can schedule a day off for Black Friday so I can do my online shopping or whatever else. The weekend days I'll have as my usual days off.
-
So this is where everyone is. Dustloop so dead.
-
If by "everyone" you mean the same 4 people posting 99% of the time then yeah. :V
-
If by "everyone" you mean the same 4 people posting 99% of the time then yeah. :V
DL looks the same way most of the time.
I can do Sat, I can do Sun.

Looks like there will be another tournament on the 29th: https://www.facebook.com/events/1521129368127251/?sid_reminder=4551477758122786816.
I'd like to run a +R side tournament in preparation for Xrd next month, but I'm not sure how feasible it will be, or how many people will be interested.
Also, apparently Ryan is thinking of running a "small side event" for DBFC. I'm not really sure what that might entail yet.
-
"Small side event" in this case means "bigger than blazblue"
-
So I guess I'll have stuff on Saturday for anyone that cares, for UNIEL and other things.
I also found the perfect Christmas gift for H-F! And not even 1% waifu! (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/50001/).
-
FAIL!!!! That collection doesn't have the BEST game in the entire series. >:( *points left*
Though I'll be more than happy to accept this gift if you're willing to shell out the cash for it AND a PC that can run all of these.
-
if people want to come over saturday ill be up for it. Ill be tied up from 10:30 to 1 but before and after im good.
-
Shoutouts to H-F being so enthralled with DBFC that he dipped for dinner without telling anyone.
So, this week. What works for people? SSB4 comes out on Friday -- bring a Gamecube controller? There's still UNIEL of course, and whatever else isn't dead (why do I have a feeling we'll just end up playing Melty all night?)
Also, specifically for Ryd: if you haven't used it yet, would you mind giving me your Club Nintendo code for the 3DS version of Smash? I would compensate you in Pokemon, except I don't have any -- so we'll have to figure something else out.
-
Dude, I specifically said I was leaving for In-N-Out because I was getting a little hungry (thirsty really, but that's besides the point) but nobody heard me. :psyduck: Anyway, Carlos said he played it for me so that I wouldn't have to. I am forever grateful. I don't know how to return the favor either but maybe we can work something out within reason. Besides, you just want me to play DBFC because you expect me to play the sword girls. :( Christmas is coming up. Get me a game share and I might give it a little time. It'd be a far more cost effective option compared to the Christmas gift suggestion you posted earlier (which STILL doesn't have the best game in the series mind you). You decide, but I'm not expecting either. :P
Not sure about my availability this weekend because I believe my parents are arriving sometime on Saturday but I don't know what time. If it's sometime late in the day, I'll probably be gone before they arrive which makes things easier.
I'll definitely wanna try Sm4sh, but unfortunately my Gamecube controller is still at my parents' house in SoCal. I'll ask them to look for it and bring it when they arrive but knowing them, they probably won't find it. :gonk: Of course I'm down for some UNIEL (for whatever reason UNIEL and I are synonymous with each other) but I'm always down for some Melty. I'm half serious about what I said about it the other night, so it's something to think about. But eh.
-
I don't know if anyone is even coming by, but Christmas is cancelled because the place I pre-ordered the new Smash at apparently lost my copy of the game??? Womp womp. So I won't have it until next week. So you're stuck playing UNIEL and DBFC. :p
-

I'm ok with this. Though I was really looking forward to Sm4sh but I still don't know if I'll get my controller back when my parents arrive. Somehow I think the delay on your copy is a not so elaborate last ditch attempt to get me to play DFC but then I'd be giving you too much credit. :|
-
Apparently Ryan is thinking of changing the BB/P4U/UNIEL tournaments from Saturday the 29th to Sunday the 30th: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2312-arizona-arcsys-release-dates-give-us-erectile-dysfunction-thread/?p=866065.
If any of you want a say on whether the day gets changed or not, better chime in.
-
I can stop by tomorrow for games. I'll have to see what that SSB code is worth before I consider giving it away. Will play what I'm usually willing to play.
-
Will probably be there sometime between 7-8. My parents are fixing up some nice ribs which I can't refuse.
-
I'll be heading over soon.
-
GGs last night. And thanks for the
ice cream shake Carlos. :-X
I also don't get why you guys think I like to hear Hilda scream/moan. I guess random select for the dummy is not a good enough? :-\
Also, someone on twitter recently found out about MBHDR. As expected, they were not ready. :V
-
Shoutouts to H-F being so good at UNIEL that he wins draw games. Too beastly.
I also don't get why you guys think I like to hear Hilda scream/moan. I guess random select for the dummy is not a good enough? :-\
I knew there was something wrong with you, you sick bastard. :V
So this week... is going to be interesting. I do have enough food here to feed a small army of death lolis, so come by and eat it (but not the death lolis -- not that I need to worry about that, unless you're into that too, H-F). There's also the tournament this weekend, but who knows if that's on Saturday or Sunday at this point, and I suspect there are people who can't make Saturday or Sunday.
-
^ I wouldn't dream of it. But yeah, the tourney date is still up in the air.
-
Should be able to do Sat, possibly Thu, but not sure on that yet.

I forgot to reply to this portion of the post with the following, but it's too appropriate.

Lasers WERE involved. But just be happy you didn't HELLA lose a ticket over it. :-X
As for this week, it's all up in the air for me. I definitely won't be available on Thursday due to work, but I'll be making close to triple pay at least. :V If the tournament is officially on Sunday then there's a lot of time between now and then.

That emote is a pretty good approximation of my reaction when that round ended. If only you tried to sidewalk around the lasers. :<
If you want to come through at some point over the weekend, that's fine -- just let me know when. Lord knows I'll have enough food. I have to work for some period of time on Friday but beyond that, I'm good.

I guess for anyone who's interested, REmake HD gets released on Jan. 20th for NA. Will make a nice addition to my PS4, not that I have a shortage of games to play on it right now. :|
Anything going down this weekend? I think there might be a UAT gathering this Sunday. Out of our small little group here, I think I'm the only one who has put in any time into Xrd at this point. If that doesn't happen I guess there's Sm4sh and possibly UNIEL or other games?
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAozWZzwO7I
RIP hype Venom shit. They just keep taking away all the awesome shit with each installment.
-
I'm available whenever; I just forgot to post about it because... I dunno, I forgot. :x I can tell you that I've spent no time whatsoever playing Xrd (I just got access to it now), and I'm not even sure how much I'm interested in playing it. What makes sense for people?
-
If we're talking game selection, and if Xrd doesn't happen, then I'll be happy with UNIEL, Arcana, or Melty. Maybe even Sm4sh. If we're talking what day to meet up, then Saturday? Assuming the meetup at UAT is happening on Sunday since it's one of two available dates for the month. If there's not enough interest to meet up, then I can just stay home and finally unpack my PS4. It depends on what people would like to do.
-
I'm fine with tomorrow. Probably wouldn't mind messing with Xrd, though my Zato's probably going to be shit :prinny:
-
It's ok. You can play my Day 1 Elphelt which consists of nothing but completing her challenge mode. I don't think you would do any worse. :V
-
So when do people want to come over this week?
-
Saturday perhaps?

So when do people want to come over this week?
I will be in Phoenix this weekend, so I can probably make a Saturday hosting. I want to play Xrd. :D
-
^You must be grinding pretty hard. I'm in the process of trying to learn a new character so we'll see how it goes. :-X
I didn't find out until recently that the street date for Xrd's U.S. release has been lifted. Though anyone who pre-ordered the limited edition has to wait until the 23rd.
-

We already have two PS3 copies here and you always bring your PS3, so we should be good unless a bunch of people show up.
So it looks like people are coming by Saturday. Since this was... a bit of an issue last week, new rule: anyone who shows up before 7 PM will be forced to play me in Aquapazza until 7 PM. Don't test me (or Tama-nee) on this. I'll try to actually be up for this, even though I probably won't play much Xrd. I know Tempered has some hunger, though.
-
Man are you going back to threatening us with AP again? Now you know why I haven't shown up any earlier than 7 lately. :P I knew this was going to happen.
OF COURSE I'll be bringing my PS3 (and monitor). Gotta get my cash son! I'm kinda surprised there's no wager match match mode or money match mode for online play. I'm guessing the salt would be too real even in the low buy-in lobbies.
-
I won't be able to make it until like 11. How late are games going to be running?
-
pretty late probably.
-
If I'm not completely dead after work, I might show up. Kinda want a lot more lab time though; keep finding stuff to play with for Zato.
Also might be on the market for a new stick soon. Down-left is getting weird and I had to swap wires for one of the buttons because my S button would randomly let go/immediately press again while holding it down, which does not make for a happy Zato. Weird ass shit.
-
probably best buying off the internet. Most sticks around here are in use. Dippy does have a few laying around but I don't know what state of repair they are in or if he would even sell them.
Also what are some good Millias to watch. I cant remember the name of the one Luke was talking about. And GGs all around.
-
Have a Qamba Q4 on the way, should get here by the middle of the week. I figure the PS3/360 compatibility is probably more important right now than the PS4 compatibility. I'll worry about that when I actually need it.
Woshige and Nakamura are the bigger Millia players to look for.
-
GGs to everyone yesterday! Xrd is a lot of fun.

The top Millia is generally thought to be Woshige because his neutral game and ground game are very strong. After that, Eki-Chan, Nakamura, Karinchu, and Toruso are all great.
-
GGs! Had a lot of fun playing Xrd although it will still take some getting used to, namely YRCs. Tempered and I stopped playing just after 5 am. 5 am powers too strong. No, we didn't have a 100+ game session like in MBAA or VF. But if I had to guess, it may have been half. :V Shoutouts to ancient matchups Sol vs Ky and Millia vs Zato. I'll put in more grind time with Elphelt so my confirms aren't so sloppy and hopefully learn the unblockable setup. I seem to be getting by or holding my own with proper use of the slash button. lol
Also, shoutouts to dippy for actually playing AH3LM with me. I was half joking when I mentioned it, but I won't complain. I'm surprised there wasn't any DFC action afterwards. :psyduck:
-
So, little Eddie's command grab leads into the UB if done in/near the corner and Zato has 50 meter, and tic throws really well off of 6K/6HS/drills. Nice. All that remains is seeing how easy it is to react to with everything else going on.
Also, apparently there's this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFH0ikkgybU).
-
Picked up a regular edition of Xrd for PS4 at Gamestop. I figured there was no point in waiting for the LE and the removal of the game's official release date created a big mess. And the store that I originally pre-ordered from wasn't confident that they would be receiving any more LE's than initially anticipated. But here's how the interaction between me and the employee who was ringing up my order went:
Employee: Oh man, Guilty Gear. Do you like BlazBlue?
Me: ehehehehe...*shrug*
Employee: OMG I LOVE Rachel! In Guilty Gear I play the girl with the anchor. I forgot her name.
Me: ......... *cold stare*
Yeah, not quite the conversation I wanted to participate in. I arrived shortly before closing since I had just gotten out of work. So they didn't have time to hassle me about upcoming pre-orders and whatnot.
This game looks so much cleaner on PS4 but I won't be lugging it around with me any time soon. Finally starting to get the hang of Elph's shotgun loop. There's no way I was going to pass up on this combo. Now I just need to put in a little time to work on the unblockables. Sure they may not be Zato UBs, but they're there. Plus it gives the rifle a little more utility. Gotta practice dem no-scopez.

Relevant to your interests, H-F. It's pretty much what I was said before - her UB is nice, but beatable. I just didn't expect backdash to apparently be so strong against it. I guess Zato's the only one allowed to have real bullshit :V

I hope you gave that guy a 5 star review. He felt your anime aura and was trying to provide you with the best customer service he could muster after dealing with anime nerds buying neptunia and blazblue.

^Except this anime aura you speak of is nowhere to be found. I don't even play Rachel or May. Now I feel the need to play AW just to forget about that mess.

Oh man, it's been forever since I read DL for anything that wasn't the match finder. I guess because +R wasn't a brand new game so I was able to learn it on the fly. A pity these aren't true UBs due to the options available, but I'll still mess around with them a little. But yeah we can't have her being as good as Zato, that would be too much to ask. I wish the rifle had more applications tho. I'll have to settle for shotgun loops that do 200+ damage off throw, command throw, and 5K (vs full health bars). :toot:

Elphelt is like 50x more anime than either Rachel or May :V

If you liked his post, I would have unliked it just to even it out. And you guys can't accuse me of playing a waifu character or very anime character when:
1) She's not from an anime. She's an original creation. Last I checked, the GG series is known for being a fighting game. NOT an anime.
2) Every last one of you muphukkas have spent more time playing DFC than I have. Yes, Luke INCLUDED. I have a whopping 00:00:00 time played in that game.
So there you go. :P
On an unrelated note, DMC4 Special Edition with possible playable Vergil? Niiiiiiiiiice. I hope they include Legendary Dark Knight mode from the PC version though. The enemy count per battle is absurd.
-
So uh. Ill be hosting tomorrow night. Same time same place.
-
Won't make it till like 11 if I show.
-
I suppose I'll be there.
-
GGs in Xrd last night. Yes, I DO get annoyed at certain things too just like anyone else, and I know how it feels. It's karma, I get it. :P
I'll be out of town next weekend so I'll be missing the monthly tourney. Not sure if SoCal is having Rebel Up that weekend but I might not be able to make it depending on stuff. But I'll definitely be playing GG with some friends that I haven't seen in ages.
See you guys next year. :toot:
-
See you in 2015 -- bring back some Ws!
Are you leaving before of after Christmas? Apparently there might be something happening Christmas day? lol planning.

Hey, if you want to expose yourself to CH Nobiru, that's totally on you.

See you in 2015 -- bring back some Ws!
Are you leaving before of after Christmas? Apparently there might be something happening Christmas day? lol planning.
I'm leaving later today and I'll be gone for the weekend. I got word that since Super Arcade is re-locating, the next Rebel Up is unconfirmed although it's supposed to be this weekend. If there's no word on the new location before then, the event will probably be cancelled. Also, there's something going down on Christmas day? Is spending a holiday with family even a thing anymore? Granted, in my case it's a big deal this year because I haven't celebrated Christmas in SoCal since before I moved out here which was 5 years ago. :psyduck:
On another unrelated note, since I play Elph and such, shotguns came to mind:
Top 5 All Time COD Shotguns!! (COD4 to COD Ghosts) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ZbrowyfjA)
Pre-Patch 1887 Akimbo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxOFQ9IIMsY)
Spastex-130 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psbAgsMD8QM)
Manliest Combat Record (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Edq9GLyPlI)
These should be required viewing to play the character. People just don't understand how powerful shotguns can be. Dat last one tho. :V
-
It's not as nuts as it sounds. For some of us, our families are far away from here -- in my case, everyone else in my family is back on the east coast. So we can at least live our sad lives together. :P
Don't worry about it -- just when you come back, be ready to come correct.
-
CH Nobiru, [Shadow Gallery+Nobiru] x2, 6P(2), cS, cS, 2D, jH unblockable, 5S, jS, jHS, jD
A bit less effort than the linked combo, and guaranteed dizzy on everyone up to Sol's stun resist, assuming resist isn't universal in this game. Not sure who would have more outside of Pot, and haven't tested it on him yet, but everyone up to Sol is going to be a pretty sizable chunk of the cast. From full health: 250ish damage plus 100+ from bullshit with guts. So, not eating CH Nobiru in the corner is priority #1 when fighting Zato. The only relatively tricky parts are 1) confirming the CH, and 2) timing the first Shadow Gallery to hit just before they land. Everything else is pretty easy :toot:
Eddie is still Eddie. The only relatively nice thing about fighting him now is that he needs to get you into the corner to really fuck you up since the only way to get an unblockable midscreen is Damned Fang. The bad thing is that buzzsaw Mawaru makes getting to a corner pretty damn easy to do, and any corner hit with Eddie out and at least half his bar theoretically leads into getting blown up (whatever xx Mawaru 5D wall splat).
Just need to get better at executing with this bastard.
Edit: Lol, you can throw>RC>Shadow Gallery loop>follow up combo>unblockable in the corner. Why? :V
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr9v5Asbndg
This makes me mad, and I play the character.
-
Why would you be mad? That looks like a pretty dope combo. If anything that reminds me I need to play me some UNIEL every now and again so I'm not overly rusty. UNIEL didn't happen at yesterday's tourney so I guess I caught a break. How did you do in the tourney? Looks like Koogy is back in top competitive form. Did you fight any other Kys or Elphs? If so, how far ahead of me are they? :psyduck: Just hoping that I'm not a complete slouch when I get back.
-
I fought one Elphelt and one Ky. You aren't behind. :P
Did Rebel Up happen, and, if so, did you go?
-
^ Unfortunately Rebel Up didn't happen because I didn't get any word about where the next event would take place and I didn't find any additional information. :( So instead I visited a friend of mine and we played a lot of Xrd. Faust is ridiculous. :gonk: We tried playing some +R to end the night and omfg my muscle memory for that game is practically gone. It moves WAY faster and Xrd just feels so much more streamlined by comparison. :bricks: But we had a lot of fun. Also, nice work on your ranking in the tourney. Sin looks like an incredibly annoying character to fight against and one that will probably take some time to for me to get used to. Koogy with the Slayer and I-No tho. :slowpoke:
-
Games on Wed or Thu?

I'm working both days. So I probably won't be there if anything goes down. :(

I would have played the shit out of this.
-
SHG needs to make this an announcer add-on for AW. None of that Snoop Dog bullshit from Ghosts. :emo:
-
There are JP dubs of most of the modern CoD games (from MW2 onward, if I remember correctly). No idea who does the voice acting, though. The series actually does pretty well in Japan... not nearly as crazy as the numbers it puts out in the US, but each release is usually good for 300-400k units.
I know both tomorrow and Thursday are normal work days for Tempered, but I do have Thursday (and Friday, oddly enough) off.
-
Even after this long, I still find it funny that Squeenix (which is most known for Final Fantasy) is the publisher for the CoD games over there. I was always under the impression that it sold reasonably well considering in the older games, a fair portion of JP was lit up on the world map beneath the total number of players online. I also stumbled upon this a while back and I lol'd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNV2_-gHvOA
But yeah, since I most likely won't be available for the next few days, Saturday would be the next best day for me. Doesn't sound like anything is happening at UAT this weekend afaik.
-
I'll only be able to make late night on Sat.
As for JP CoD, keep in mind that (in addition to the Japanese who might play) there are a lot of U.S. military bases in Japan, and those guys love their FPSs.
-
ive got a big headache here at work atm. still planning on hosting but if it gets worse i cant imagine being up too late.
-
I've been feeling kinda sick for the past week so I'm not too sure if I'll be feeling well enough to head over later on either. What's the latest we'd be able to stay?
-
Depends. If it gets worse id probably host till 1 - 2. If it clears up then till 3 -4.

Forget Shakespeare, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=S53hwDc_HpQ#t=1577) is the greatest tragedy the world has ever seen.
-
Footage like this illustrates how GG is poetry in motion. Lessons learned, never give up. You just...never know. :mystery:
tl;dr of last weekend's 3-way discussion.
- Zato's normals that use shadows should be disjoint.
- Millia's hair should be disjoint.
- Ky's sword should be disjoint.
:V
-
Chie:
-2C: Faster start up; less recovery
-Lunge is faster, FC when punished (?), SP Lunge is projectile invul
-Dash and Backdash are slower
-5A now -2 or -3
-Can't combo off CH Throw
-Less damage on God Hand
Power Charge:
Changed to a stock system rather than timer.
Each attack performed removes a stock (even on block) (but not on whiff?).
Level 1 (120%) and 2 (140%) are 9 stacks, level 3 (200%) is 5 stack (not sure how overwriting works)
B Power Charge has more recovery.
I'm starting to have a little bit of faith in P4A's team. But just a little.
-
Forget Shakespeare, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=S53hwDc_HpQ#t=1577) is the greatest tragedy the world has ever seen.
I was reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HH2KlpY7e8.
I'm iffy on a lot of the Chie changes. She's a pretty fair character in P4U (assuming we're not talking about her shadow version), and she's getting a lot of nerfs. I really don't see why dash, backdash, and throw need to be nerfed.
Also, they seem to be buffing Minazuki. Why, I have no idea. :mystery:
We'll have to wait and see what makes it into the final 2.0 release.
-
Penance for having meteors.
-
Will be hosting Post 8 as per usual.
-
Will be there 11-11:30, as usual :V I should be able to make it earlier next week.
-
As per our usual late start over the past several weeks I should be there between 8-9. :-X

UNIEL: now featuring 8-way airdashes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQWzJS02pPo)
Yukiko updates:
Yukiko 2.0 day1 bnb
5AA>5B>5C>2C>214B>2C>214Ax6
around 3k dmg, 33meter gain
Lv3
236D>2C>5C>214B>2C>214Ax6>236236D 5300dmg
Well, I guess that solves the problem of high effort/low reward...
-
So who wants to play Good Games this weekend
Like UNIEL
And Melty
...and VF? Plz?
and if you're reading this, you're doomed to play Aquapazza
And people will play Xrd, or something. I dunno.
-
MB/GG. P4?
-
Of course I'll be playing GG and/or MB. Though I wouldn't mind a little UNIEL to prepare for next week's tourney. Or AH3LM under rarer circumstances. A friend of mine might be visiting sometime next week and I told him about the tourney. Though what day(s) he'll be here are unclear right now so I'll be hearing from him whenever he figures that out or unless his plans get tanked.
On a sidenote, considering the festivities have been ending around 4-5 am, I suppose there is the possibility of the LP series' coming back? If that's the case it'll have to be like the last hour or so. It depends.

This is certainly possible. Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame 3, Deadpool, something Hitman, or, if Dippy has a functional X-Box 1, Stubbs the Zombie???
-
The last time I checked it, the Xbox does actually work. I think I only have one of the old Duke controllers sitting around, though.
H-F playing Silent Hill 2... are you trying to get us all killed???
-
I've actually played Silent Hill 2 before. :V If the Hitman games start getting played again, I got the trilogy off PSN+ for free a couple weeks ago. So you guys can collect trophies for me. :toot: Except for 2. I plan to get all of those eventually. :|
As per usual late starts, I should be there between 8-9.
-
Fuck, I forgot my 3DS there. Don't pawn it or anything.
GGs in GG and VF old man games. If it makes you feel better, Dippy, I got two matches off H-F. Admittedly, that was after I got some damage back :laffo:
-
Sadly there was no Xrd for me. :( So I'll just have to play casuals at the tourney next week. But I did get in a lot of UNIEL, and yes, GGs in....VF. :toot: Even more surprising that you initiated said VF session instead of dippy or me. I think he's still mad about his 27-1 against you as opposed to his 4-15 against me. :V I'm just happy I remembered my throw combo. :-X
EDIT: ^Yeah, my excuse for losing 2 games is because I helped you remember ONE combo. :gonk: Had to consult the cheat sheet on VFDC for it. The first loss came from a bullshit ringout. But I guess that was karma for that one ringout I got earlier when I was trying to get a wall splat. :'(
-
IT WORKED!!!
Not to not going back to playing VF for months. :<

I had to make sure Tempered didn't sell it off for Dota 2 items, but it's OK. I think the next time I'll see you is for the tournament at UAT, so I'll bring it there (as long as I don't forget).

UNIEL was super frustrating at points, but I think (ha?) I was playing better at the end than at the beginning... which is all you can really ask for, I think.
I think the VF ended up happening because Ryd came by super early (for him, anyway) and I wasn't expecting anyone then, so we both end up looking foolish. It's probably for the best, as if I did notice Ryd was here when he first arrived he would have seen a ton of this:
(http://i.imgur.com/6S4aRWk.gif)
(Coincidentally, this was also the face I made when I lost that one game.)
-
^eheheheh cute. <.< The only time you'll ever hear me say that.
I wanted to try playing Linne just to remember stuff but I somehow got stuck playing Eltnum for the rest of the UNIEL session. :-\ You mash rematch too hard.
Never thought you'd be SO mad to lose a single match as opposed to 15 of them vs. a 2012'er(?) in VF. I still love the game, but air dashers, namely GG, are still my priority. Last night kinda makes me wanna go to training mode to re-learn setups and optimal punishes but it'll have to hold until after next weekend's tourney. After that, we have a month to brush off the Melty rust.
Also, I had NO idea you guys were starting the session early. No one said anything so I was under the impression it was going to be another late start. :psyduck:
-
There was no real plan to start early. Carlos just did his own thing.
-
Someone plz text me next time if things start earlier than 8. :-X
-
Tell Carlos to do that. I dont get off work till 8.

Late!
UNIEL: now featuring 8-way airdashes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQWzJS02pPo)
-
REmake HD is now available for $20.
-
So, relevant Evo titles are:
Guilty Gear
Persona 4: Ultimax
Melee?
RIP UNIEL.
-
So no UNIEL. Oh well but it'll have one hell of a side tourney. But Melee AND Sm4sh? And Tekken 7? wtf
-
Yesterday's tournament was really fun.
Carlos's highlights for the night:
1) F/UC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Making it to grand finals in UNIEL
I think you secretly practice UNIEL. I was starting to believe we would have to crown a new UNIEL champion. :V For what it's worth, the top 8 for UNIEL at FFs7 had 3 Vatistas and only 1 Gordeau. NO Linnes or Eltnums.
-
If by "secret practice", you mean spending like 15-20 mins in training mode the night before to reacquaint myself with handling Vatista and then a couple of warm up rounds right before, then sure. Secret practice. If I'd really been keeping up, I would've been getting 3-5k every time you got tagged by a crystal and wouldn't have been messing up charge times nearly as much, though it was fun to see that you were apparently nervous enough to not capitalize on the 2Cs with nothing behind them because I fucked up.
-
Mreh. If anything I was a little annoyed at missing a few obvious 236B punishes because I'd get 5B instead for whatever reason. That and I dropped a few combos because of the annoying 2C link to get the 2nd rep of 214B. :-\ Though at the same time I won't complain about overcoming adversity when it stares me in the face. As slow as the matchup can be, at least most of the rounds didn't with time overs. Don't think the commentators would've been too happy about that. lol
-
Don't think you would've been too happy about more clock scams either :laffo: A win's a win in my book :V
-
So... anyone want to come by tomorrow? Maybe we could play... eh... ahh... Who's hype for the US release of Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax?!? (No one.)
Also, apropos of nothing, check out these sick Venom setups (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqziQX7eEv0).
-
^Buy me a copy and I might put in a little time. Italicized word for emphasis.
If we're meeting up tomorrow then around what time should we be there?

I guess when I assume people are coming early, they show up super late. And when I assume people are coming late, they show up super early. So... uh... I dunno, 7-8ish is what I usually expect.
-
I'm going to collapse for a couple of hours, but will probably show around 6:30-7 if I make it at all; won't be staying late tonight.
Still feeling pretty dead. See you guys next weekend unless anyone's up for games tomorrow or sometime during the week.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtTnVOhBMUs
-
That guy gets it.
-
Just thinking about the session from last Saturday:
- I need more Red Bull.
- I was kind of lolling at how I made trying to 3C assaults as a point of emphasis only to find out it's not that great against Orie since she can project the summons in front of her and Eltnum doesn't have anything horizontal enough to really hit her at that range.
- I'm way too passive in neutral, letting you set up shop in the space where B thrust is optimal. Walking forward into the thrust is a concern but it needs to be done, which would then either put that move at an unsafe range or make you walk back further (and into the corner, ultimately).
- I need some different looks in terms of blockstring sequences. I know you were looking for a lot stuff after 2C5A, and even when I was trying something like 2C5A22A it wasn't fast enough. I just don't know if that wasn't fast enough or if the enforced recovery frames+gun startup is too much.
- I do need to commit to some more actual mixups, even if they're not that great. It's kind of the same mentality I have with Nanaya, and it can be troublesome especially against someone with a ton of patience (and at least MB has a guard bar!). On the flip side, those more patient players are who you want to throw those mixups up against, as even if doesn't work the odds of being challenged directly are rather low.
- I need to do a better job of CS usage. I think I was doing a better job of getting it, but I'm still not using it all that well. She doesn't have a ton of combos that require it (outside of max range 2C214B combos with no meter), but proper usage defensively can have a huge payoff.
That guy gets it.
She put a dozen shotgun shots in him and he still didn't die.
Either Elphelt has that Ultimate Suck Ass Shotgun damage or Potemkin is lag switching like an asshole.
-
- Orie's air summons give her the ability to actually play air footsies, but most importantly they stall her falling trajectory and the rewards on hit can be pretty high. But that's why I have been using them a lot more.
- Ideally at neutral you want to be in range for Eltnum's 2C or even a single gunshot. 2C gives you a knockdown if it connects at max range, or a full combo if it connects any closer than that. The problem lies with throwing out 2C willy-nilly because although it's fast, it's asking to be whiff punished. Walking into a thrust isn't the worst possible outcome so long as they don't have meter to spend. But it's still a knockdown which allows which turns the momentum around.
- I can't say much in terms of blockstrings but there are a lot of options. You just can't rely too much on 2C5A as it becomes counter-poke city once the opponent gets pushed to a certain range.
- For mixups you have assault j.C and 6B. The game isn't very heavy on its mixups but you have to make use of what you have. And in regards to blocking Orie's 6B overhead, you really shouldn't be beating yourself up too bad for the simple fact that EVERYONE gets hit by it. It's a general statement but it's true. You can watch any Orie match video and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who either never uses it or always blocks it properly. It's a tool the character has and it's essential no less. I'll even say that some use it much more than I do. What some people may not notice, is that I never do the same overhead sequence twice in a row and I'm constantly switching up how early or late I use it, which is honestly the best way to use it because it simply keeps the opponent guessing. That and it looks kinda similar to a couple of other moves that she has due to the animation. Of course, 3C is a decent anti-mash tool which is what I use every now and again in place of the overhead because of the CH property and it crushes lows.
- CS usage is pretty much a judgement call. Eltnum doesn't necessarily have any particularly unsafe moves that are redeemed by CS. But using CS during certain pressure strings makes them punishable but that's pretty obvious. Me personally, if I don't feel confident in a particular confirm, I'll use CS. Though there are times where I feel I'm particularly wasteful with it.
Unfortunately for me I didn't get to use any other characters so I'll be sure to change next time, but I only have 2 others so it's not like I have a huge variety. I'll just pick one and roll with it. I did re-watch part of the tourney's stream, and there was talk about this recent(?) UNIEL tourney where Senaru's team got knocked out. Some Seth player took him out along with a Merkava player, and an Orie cleaned up the Gordeau on their team (I'm thinking it was GO1). Sounds kinda crazy and something I'd want to see to believe. But other than that on the commentary, all I can remember is everyone sounding so shocked to see my play Orie. That's a surprise.
She put a dozen shotgun shots in him and he still didn't die.
Either Elphelt has that Ultimate Suck Ass Shotgun damage or Potemkin is lag switching like an asshole.
How else do you think MLG players made it to the pro circuit? :-X
-
So instead of making a quick change to make Elphelt's grenade manageable, they made a few. So far:
-explodes if hit by projectiles
-can be smacked away
-dud if Elphelt gets hit
Bitch no longer shits all over everyone else in neutral for free :toot:
Also, f.S attack level reduced and increased proration on Bridal. Some minor notes on her gun stances, but I think I read that the full 1.10 changelog hasn't been released.
Zato got a few hits of varying severity:
-puddles can be destroyed by attacks
-Eddie recovers slower if killed; recharge pauses during anime cutscenes
-something about a limit on YRC time for BtL
-summoning from puddles uses some of Eddie's meter
Eddie's command throw and super both buffed; will probably still be rarely/never used. Increased untech time on the throw might be useful if only to go from one corner to the other with Executor; stall for Eddie meter and whatnot. Increased damage if used when Eddie has more meter is pointless since it eats up all his meter and Zato isn't really known for his damage without Eddie. Buffing the shark super is pointless because Zato has better things to do with his meter, and why extend a combo when you can reset proration with an unblockable? :V Unless it allows Eddie to recharge while it's going on, it's pretty worthless.
I'm going to be disappointed if they leave his unblockable loops untouched. That shit needs to go.
-
The grenade change doesn't surprise me all that much. It was probably the one thing that needed to be changed more than anything. If the opponent can actually hit the grenade, I wonder how it affects the trajectory and whatnot. Only projectiles will trigger the explosion so regular attacks sound like they affect it differently. It would be funny if you could pick it up and throw it back like in FPSs. :-X f.S going down a level means that f.S > 2H might not work on crouchers unless the f.S is a counter hit. Increased proration on Bridal obviously means less damaging followups and combos all-around. No change to her 2H yet? It cranks the RISC meter like crazy, so... :| Doesn't sound like her options for corner pressure were hit too hard so chances are she'll still have a good corner game.
I was reading some of the initial Ky changes earlier on in the day and none of them sounded too impressive. What had me worried, is that there's a rumor about reversal timing being even larger and Blitz Shield causing Rejected state vs. projectiles. I must say if that really is the case, Ky's oki options would be COMPLETELY screwed and he'd be destined to be even worse than his XX incarnation. Hell, you can already us BS against his 6H. But supposedly rejected state vs. a BS'd projectile only works at range 0 (throw range) so his 2D > CSE still works.
Known changes so far:
Stunedge 90% prorate and longer YRC window
Stun Dipper 90% Prorate
Split Ciel level 2 (old3) to level 4 (old5)
Sacred Edge start up changed to 4+3 from 5+3
5H stagger state on counter hit
2H initial proration of 90
6H 2nd hit lasts 1F->2F, recovery 3F->2F, RISC guage 10->20
throw, RISC decrease 6/8 -> 6
air buffed stunedge, dmg 33->43, stagger on counter
otg RTL, blow back farther on hit
I think the most significant changes in the list are bolded. 6H getting another active frame and slightly less recovery is good. The air stun edge getting more damage and causing stagger on CH? That sounds kinda crazy, almost getting to Slash levels of stun edge I wanna say, but I dunno. As long as it isn't level 5 it should be ok. 5H should have caused stagger state on CH from the beginning because that's EXACTLY what it did back in #R. So why it was missing in the first place is beyond me. Larger YRC window on SE is good because it's annoying how stupidly tight the timing was.
But yeah, there's probably more changes all-around for the game and obviously that doesn't necessarily mean the known changes are final but we'll have to wait and see. Some characters really got hit hard like Ram.
-
The shield change seems to have been specifically targeted at I-No's vCL oki, though Millia appears to be taking collateral damage. Zato should be mostly fine. Unblockables might be affected, but it's pretty much the same the same as correctly reading high>low right now and shielding properly, and nobody does that; better to backdash YRC FD than gamble meter and risk getting hit anyway.
-
Found the matches for the team tourney that I mentioned a couple posts ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HzzjMIWVxM
-
Anything happening later tonight? I know there's a UAT session happening today but I might not be getting there until much later due to prior commitments.
-
I'll probably be at UAT for a bit. Someone send me a text when you guys will be up for games and I'll head over, though I won't be staying too late tonight on account of work tomorrow morning and being a little tired today.
-
Next ranbat is 2/28 (Sat)
-2:30pm, Persona 4: Ultimax [PS3]
*signups end at 2:15
-4:30pm, Under Night in-Birth Exe:Late [PS3]
*signups end at 4:15
-6:30pm, Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- [PS3]
*signups end at 6:15
-Melty Blood, after xrd
-
So it's right at the end of the month. Melty will be some time after Xrd. Maybe we can actually get at least 10 people.
That reminds me. Around this time, 5 years ago, I sat and played 100+ consecutive MBAA matches. :toot:
-
Whoo, Melty tournaments like it's 2009 or some shit.
So it's right at the end of the month. Melty will be some time after Xrd. Maybe we can actually get at least 10 people.
That reminds me. Around this time, 5 years ago, I sat and played 100+ consecutive MBAA matches. :toot:
It wasn't just 100 games, it was a FT100 set... that went to 180ish games or something gross. UStream had the whole damn thing recorded, but it looks like they recently deleted it. :(
-
New Xrd loktest notes are up, my Japanese isn't strong enough.
Highlights so far:
RCing command throws forces PRC
PRC buffed
Zato:
Extra recovery on Eddie moved from being killed to after Drill. Should effectively kill the unblockable loops while leaving the rest of his gameplay intact. Mild nerf to unblockables in general, but seeing how they aren't something that happens every 10 seconds anymore, it's not bad.
Drill Special prorates 85, up from previous test's 80
90 Proration on jK, retains buffed hitbox
Break the Law removed moving away from opponent counts toward negative penalty
So Zato's command throws are better than everyone elses because he has Nobiru as an OS. He should be a little stronger than the first test while fixing my biggest gripe with him (unblockable loops). At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Break the Law is removed from the game :laffo:
Elphelt has a ton of new changes; no translations yet.
-
Ky's 2nd loke test changes blow. 85% proration on all stun edges. Greed Sever having less pushback on block. Split Ciel is now lvl3 as opposed to lvl.4 from last loke test. This is early information and not necessarily a comprehensive list. But from what I can tell it just seems like they're trying to kill off his damage potential while offering little to nothing in return. +R Ky was a low damage character but otherwise fun to use because of all the options/tools he had. If all the loke test 1 changes are removed/reverted and if these new changes stick, he's basically the EXACT same character but with less damage. I believe there's still one more loke test before the new version gets pushed out, but I'm really not a fan of these changes if they stay.
-
Sol's changes seem fair so far. 90% proration on 5K hurts, but I suppose it's not unwarranted, and Fafnir needed some nerfs. His only buffs are minor, but they should prevent some moves (like dive kick) from whiffing randomly.
Persona Ultimax 2.0 looks fun, and the tier gap looks less substantial. Shadow Chie looks hilarious, though. Liz is also the best she's ever been, and she's still the second worst character. And RIP Teddie.
-
It'd be nice if they'd throw an ETA on either game's patch getting to console. Persona in particular since any of the characters I'd consider playing got changes that substantially change combo routes and such; Zato...I'll just have to remember not to abuse BtL.
Anything tomorrow? Earlier start time would be nice since I work early on Sunday.
-
I won't be able to host tonight, sorry. :\ I'm probably less happy about it than anyone else here, frankly.
-
Does later today work for anyone?
-
Does later today work for anyone?
^This. I know that UAT is reserved for today but there's no word on if anyone is showing up. :-\
-
Anything likely this weekend (lol, planning ahead?) Sat works for me, though earlier start time is better since I'm working early again on Sunday. Sunday afternoon also works.
-
Sat would work for me. Sun not so much because I'll have to get up super early on Mon. morning.
-
Sorry about the late response, but I probably won't know until later tonight. Although it looks like stuff is happening at UAT tomorrow anyway... hopefully this will work out. Maybe.
Edit: Yeah, just go out to UAT. I should be able to make it out there at some point
-
Snagged one of the last Sunday tourney hall passes for Evo :prinny: Looking at how fast those sold out, might not be a bad idea to pick up passes if you haven't yet.

The main hall passes are already sold out. D: So anyone else is going to have to slum it up in the exhibition hall... or even worse, nowhere (but it's Vegas).
I am seriously concerned about space at Evo this year -- there's already over 1,000 people signed up for USF4 and SSBM (that SSBM number is especially crazy... and horrifying to whoever has to run that).
-
Yeah. With SF, Mahvel, two Smash titles, and Persona, it's gonna be cramped. And might sell out faster than previous years, so buy passes soon.

The grind is FAR from over. :(
I had to re-create my Mega Man emblem on the PS4 because unfortunately they don't transfer between platforms. Which reminds me, since it was mentioned quickly last time, I suggest the next LP be Mega Man 9 on stick.

EDIT: It's that time of the year again where I could potentially be changing work shifts. But considering my overall rank, I'm pretty sure I could get whatever shift I want at this point. I'll find out sometime in the next couple of weeks.
-
Anything going on this weekend?
-
I was curious. There's no mention of anything going down at UAT this weekend.
-
I don't really have anything planned one way or the other, people should be OK to come by. I think. Not sure if Tempered has an issue with it.
-
Do people really think that I sandbag when I play Eltnum? :mystery:
"Check your ammo!!!!" tally count for last night:
Dippy - 27
me - 1

Honestly? After thinking about it some more, no. Even though I'm the one that insinuated that, it was a dumb comment to make. However, I do think you switched from playing Linne more to playing Eltnum more because people were complaining about getting rolled by Linne's dumb ass.
Just to clarify something: I'm not upset with the change in any way (it's not like you started playing Chaos or some shit), and people will ultimately play whoever the hell they want you to play. I (or anyone else) can't force anyone to play specific characters or games (and lord knows I've tried the latter).
As for bad awareness, I'm old and senile and awful at videogames, what the hell else do you want? I didn't even realize the waitress brought out

Well I edited my post because it was 6 am in the morning and I felt like I was just getting too worked up over nothing. That and I finally got some sleep and didn't wake up with a headache for once on a Sunday morning, so I was feeling better. And don't worry about me switching to Chaos because if that happened then that would be legitimate grounds for concern if not curiosity about my own mental well-being.
The only other thing that was bothering me, was the fact that Carlos STILL thinks that I have a Reimu/miko fetish. First it was a seifuku fetish, now this? He can't make up his mind. >:( Unfortunately, playing one character from either category doesn't substantiate someone having a fetish. Though I guess wanting to try T7's final boss doesn't help me any. :-X But eh.

Fetishes aren't mutually exclusive :V
Anything this week?

Yeah... I need to do some yardwork!!! <Insert stereotypically racist question here.> People can come through during the evening, though.
Also... which one of you jerks used up all of my funny money in UNIEL and changed my title card??? Nanase as my waifu, get that the fuck outta here! Thankfully, whoever did it was at least kind enough to wait until after I hit the trophy for having 200k IP.
Also, BOY HAVE I FOUND THE GAME FOR YOU, RYD (https://yanderedev.wordpress.com/).

Waiting for the build release on the 15th before I mess around with it. Looks terrible in all the best ways.

Don't look at me. :-\ If it were up to me I would have been much more harsh with it. You'd have gotten a Vatista player card and Waldstein icon. The old man and loli. iirc that was also one of MBAC's team names. It would have been a perfect fit. lol
-
Nobody would've given Dippy a loli card because we all know he'd be down with that :nyoro:

So, yeah. Your character's pokes are retarded, H-F. We knew about f.S, but the rest is just dumb. I really like how she's able to kick a fucking drill and not get touched. Incidentally, it might be less Zato's hit/hurtboxes that really bothered me and more Elphelt's that made it feel a lot worse than it actually is. I expect that shit from Ky, didn't think Elphelt's pokes were that much stronger. Hoping her hurtboxes become reasonable with the update.
-
Weird, I swear I've countered Elphelt out of her f.S at max range with Sol's 6P. Maybe it was a different move and I'm just remembering incorrectly. Or maybe Sol's 6P is just that good.
-
I now have the worst present H-F has ever received (https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/aquapazza/cid=UP0005-NPUB31336_00-DOWNLOAD08279360).

And what do you mean you NOW have? You've ALWAYS had it. THREE copies I might add. Funny how that page also says people who bought that also bought Madden NFL 13. The two clearly have a lot in common.

Games this Sat? Luke will be in town and is interested.

Sure, it's either that or I'm going to be cleaning and sleeping and living a sad life.
Let's play... uh... what's a fighting game, again? But apparently there's some stuff happening at UAT tomorrow? Maybe?
-
If UAT is confirmed for tomorrow then I'll just go there. Hopefully I'm not going to be the ONLY one with a setup to start out like last time. We can work out the after meetup plans when that rolls around.
-
Being able to compete in neutral is amazing; somehow put up more of a fight while having 0 combos. Yeah, going back to Venom; Dhalsim hurtboxes and I just don't get along. Not worth the effort trying to wrap my head around his neutral when there's a character that's a lot more intuitive for me. Especially if I'm just killing time waiting for Testament.
Oh shit, Tempered, can Slayer do this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=prvp1gBTVz0#t=273) in the current build?
-
Aww man, does this mean I have to look up and see if there's an easy unblockable Elphelt loop against Venom, or any awkward vapor thrust loop variations against him too? Guess I'll have to put in just a little effort on these but I'm in no position to be doing so at 5 am in the morning. Though if it means not having a dedicated Zato to fight against I am a little bummed.
GGs in Xrd....I guess? Seems like sodium levels were at an all-time high this time around for everyone including myself. Hopefully it wasn't all because of me but I get the feeling I know what I'm going to see. :-X
And dippy, just a quick reminder about the $7. I'm going to need that for advanced supply drops. :V
-
Oh shit, Tempered, can Slayer do this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=prvp1gBTVz0#t=273) in the current build?
The slash loop into 5k 2d? I think so on sol but not everyone. the pilebunker hit? Yes and no. It doesn't wall bounce like that in this build but you can RC and teleport behind them off of k dandy ch PB
-
PB RC teleport continue
Shit's hype.
In other news: S.Yukiko - the threat is real (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ce2hjBN20uY#t=394).
-
Not sure if I mentioned this earlier, I'll be changing work schedule soon but I'll be keeping my weekends off. So future planning should be no different than it is now. Needless to say yesterday's UAT meetup was pretty uneventful although I did get to play a little Melty. Also RIP 2010 MBAA ustream footage. :'(
Me (right before BT2): "Well the clock's ticking. It seems that NorCal is going and their drive is just as long if not longer. Do we really want to be the no-shows on this? Melty isn't going to be at WCW2 judging by the looks of things. :|"
2015 version: No! We are NOT letting NorCal show us up at this event. And they're farther than we are.
-
I managed to sleep through Melty? Booooo @ me.
And dippy, just a quick reminder about the $7. I'm going to need that for my copy of Aquapazza. :V
Fixed. :P I can pay you either whenever we meet up again (next Saturday?), or through PayPal.
-
Yo, I heard you guys like balls (http://i.imgur.com/vzRtVYv.gifv)

I KNEW you would pull some shit like that. Believe me, I would spend more time opening those advanced supply drops than I ever would playing that game. :-\ I can wait until next weekend so don't worry about paypal. Also, I wouldn't say you slept through Melty because we started playing it around 5 at UAT, and there was only 3 of us.
Yo, I heard you guys like balls (http://i.imgur.com/vzRtVYv.gifv)
That's a lot of um...ball in the face. :|

Okay, calling it teabag loops. Thanks, H-F.

Did you see blacksnake beat up on doren Carlos? Should check it out if not.

OMFG YES!!!! http://t.co/t2cue55SLW
-
Did you see blacksnake beat up on doren Carlos? Should check it out if not.
Link? Can't find it on YT or Venom forums.
-
It might be on funkyp's twitch channel if I had to guess.
-
Something to look forward to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDLrZCxRx9w&feature=youtu.be
I might sub Slayer in 1.1, just for Pile Bunker x7 combos. Shit's so funny to see.
-
I woke up in time, so I'll actually be going to the ranbat. Not sure what's happening afterwards though. Nobody sounds like they're confirmed for going to UAT later today but I might have a setup on me just in case because the ranbat ends around 3:30.
-
Venom match I was talking about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4jDyOTWnsvc#t=3833
-
Anything today?
-
I'm going to be in town again this weekend (this time for Easter), so I'm interested as well.
Or I might stay in and record music. Haven't decided yet. :P
-
I'm not really doing anything tonight, but people would need to come by a bit later (around 8PM or so). Dunno how late people can stay (that's really up to Tempered), but if it's anything like the last couple of times I doubt it's an issue.
-
Record music huh?
Not too sure if I'll be available later tonight. Can someone shoot me a text if anything's happening? If so I'll probably wanna take it easy tonight. I also wonder if UAT is open but I don't think anyone made any plans. Last I heard as long as a room isn't reserved it's open for use.
-
Okay, will stop by around 8. Should we sort out dinner plans in advance, or...? :V
-
I'm probably going to have dinner before I head over.
Tempered do you have a PS4 or are you still borrowing one? I have a couple of unopened games that I can suggest for LPs that fit your approach better. :-X
-
Any plans for tomorrow? Ill be hosting after 9 if people want to come over. Dippy is not here so no showing up before that. Though I might have an early day tomorrow so well have to see what happens.
-
After 9? Seems like it'll be a late start. Haven't been feeling the best the past couple of days but we'll see.
Also dippy is out of town? How convenient because he STILL owes me $7. :bricks:
-
dippy if you duck me for that $7 again, you will suffer the consequences down to the very last gruesome detail as I have made abundantly clear. The funny thing is I'm sure I could find all that hardware lying around UAT. :V Or you can make this easy on yourself and buy me 3 advanced supply drops. You'll save a whopping $1. :teach: I'm so generous.
-
So I quit my jorb because of reasons. Going to be hosting tomorrow after TGZ as I probably wont be going to that.
-
What time? There's usually been stuff at UAT after TGZ, so that might be something to look out for. I probably won't go either; those just don't work for me.
-
After the TGZ event, yeah usually stuff goes down at UAT since it's not too far. I might just head over to your guys' place after TGZ so we can OD on all that double XP we'll be earning in AW. Might just skip on the UAT casuals altogether.
-
Well looks like TGZ runs earlier than I thought. Ill say wait till about 7 to come by unless dippy wants to deal with ya'll until then.
-
Is anything even happening at UAT after the TGZ tournament? It looks like Dustloop is down and I don't really follow the Facebook page. I'm guessing that TST is going to be in full effect and that if you guys would be getting here at 5:30 or 6, that's fine.
Fake fake edit: Leaving this here for Ryd (https://twitter.com/ddal_kr/status/591982659464613888) (and it's probably not safe for work).
-
RIP dustloop.
I don't think anyone is going to UAT or at least nobody has said anything on FB.
-
It's funny that you posted that after I spent hours last night/this morning browsing Sakura art thanks to my brother. Here's one everyone can enjoy (http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1311667?tags=dark_sakura) (semi-sfw).
-
Japan gets console 1.1 tomorrow/today. U.S. :mystery: Interesting to note that it's not going to be like AC, where you could toggle between AC/+R, so it looks like EVO might be 1.1?
-
Looks like the NA patch is out tomorrow (https://twitter.com/aksysgames/status/596353031534301184) and rumor has it that Evo will be version 1.1.
That was fast.
-
Unexpectedly fast, but should rekindle some interest for me. Not quite on the level of AC freeze balls, but at least Venom's getting some added benefit for making balls touch.
Meanwhile, P4U update is where? Shit's been out months longer than Xrd 1.1 :bricks:
-
Meanwhile, P4U update is where? Shit's been out months longer than Xrd 1.1 :bricks:
I get the impression that Ishiwatari and co. actually gave a shit about getting the current version of Xrd into Evo, while the team of P4U are content with version disparity.
-
I suppose this isn't too surprising considering that GG is ASW's flagship title. I won't complain as it means that I don't have to wait until next year to start applying the material I've been observing in matches. I'm leaning towards Evo going with 1.1. For the more immediate future, I wonder if the TGZ event this weekend will have 1.1 considering that nobody really knew when the patch was going to hit consoles. Chances are I'll be doing a cram session with 1.1 tomorrow night but if it's 1.0 then... :psyduck:

I was talking to Marvin today, and he said that TGZ this weekend is going to be 1.1. Apparently he asked the organizers about it.
-
Alright so 1.1 it is. Going in with less than a day's worth of practice. Should be interesting. Haven't played since the last ranbat because I've been so busy. :-X
-
Ill be hosting tomorrow after 8 like usual.
-
Have family responsibilities during the day, but should be able to make it tomorrow night, by 10 if not 8.
-
I might get MKX; Cassie Cage made me laugh way too hard.
-
Oh no...you too? I won't lie and say that I'm actually a little intrigued by the game after watching footage of it. Definitely more entertaining than MK9 ever was. But my biggest problem? It's $60. :psyduck: Way too steep for something I'd most likely be playing sparingly on the side at best. So I dunno. It'd be my first time going back to the franchise since MK Trilogy which was my personal favorite which feels like forever ago.
In other news, I streamed for the first time from my PS4: www.twitch.tv/azurewanderings/v/4948125 Just skip to 1:20:50 if you want to see me die a lot. Pretty rage inducing although I wasn't raging through the mic despite the fact it was connected. I guess there was no point since Tempered was the only viewer and it was a pretty late night stream. lol But yeah it's so easy to stream from this thing and have it capture audio from the mic. All I had to do was plug my iPhone earphones into the controller and that was it. I'd definitely like to do this a little more. Most likely when DMC4: SE releases next month.
-
I have about 0 interest in MKX but I guess I could mash buttons in it for the hell of it.
-
http://www.arcsystemworks.jp/unist/
-
Yeah I saw that. New character is something. Anyways hosting tommorrow. Same place, same time.
-
After 8?
-
https://youtu.be/NoldFvlYwyM?t=208 for carlos. and yeah after 8.
-
So I uh...picked up MKX. :bricks: My check this week was a lot fatter than my last one for some reason. I had more gamestop giftcard left over than I had thought, and the $7 that dippy STILL OWES ME will help cover the cost. So all-in-all I paid roughly ~$40 for it. Not the biggest hit to my wallet (COD Ghosts takes the cake for that). So uh....yeah. :-X
-
http://www.arcsystemworks.jp/unist/
Finally looked at this and...black/purple outfit, striped stockings, whip...sold! :V
-
Personally, I'm more of a fan of the hair color...and those headphones. The whip is a nice little bonus though. :-X Although I'm interested regarding an update, I can't truly say I'm excited. If only because the first concern that comes to mind is "how long before people drop it for something else?"
I suppose I'll tag along MKX if anyone wants to mash. PSN+ allows you to download save data from another console, so that means I don't have to haul my PS4 with me.
EDIT: Anyone down for a food run later?
-
Dinner sounds good.
-
I'll drive since I haven't done so in a while. Hopefully there's no objections to Chili's.

+R, UNIEL, MB, and maybe DFC :laffo:
I cringe at the very thought. <.< That would be my list except replace DFC with AH3LM. Do you believe DFC to be the superior of the two. You seem to give the game a lot more credit than you ever did with AH3LM. So I'm curious. Or paranoid. Whichever people see fit. I hope no one takes this the wrong way because it's so easy to be misunderstood nowadays.
Edit: Maybe I should just avoid these very late night posts because I've noticed I'm far more irritable even when there's evidently no ill will towards me. Especially when I'm running on almost no sleep from the day before through no fault of my own.
-
I'm probably in for UNIEL, MB, AH3:LM and AP myself. Assuming I have the time to play while running all that stuff (and playing in T7 as well... lolz).
It's alright, H-F -- I wouldn't worry about it. How do you think I feel about everyone running when I start talking about playing Aquapazza? Tama-nee just wants to give everyone a hug. :<
To be fair, DBFC is a pretty easy game to pick up (and I might even enter it if I ever bother to... bother -- but I'll probably be busy with running stuff as it is) whereas AH... isn't, regardless of its look.
-
The salt is real :laffo: Just gonna say that I've played way more LM than DFC, which I can count the number of times I've sat down to play it on one hand. With fingers missing. :prinny:
-
Lies!!! Now FACE ME in Mortal Kombat! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNJJa0ELDAU) >:( (if you ever pick it up)
-
Anything tomorrow?
-
Ill host after 8 like usual.
Actually if people are going to UAT id like to go there instead of hosting. but if nothing happens ill host instead.
-
Looks like it'll be UAT today by the look of things. I'll head over there after the ranbat.
-
well I stayed up till 9am watching french Xrd so ill be hosting instead of going to UAT.
-
GGs everyone. I think that was the latest I've ever seen Dippy stay up.
Also, I need to start making Evo plans. I think you guys mentioned I could possibly stay in your room, but is there any room in the car? I'm assuming probably not if everyone's going.
-

I think I was a bit on edge due to the power outage earlier in the evening and I was probably wired all night due to that.
As for going to Evo, it's usually myself, Tempered, H-F Blade and Ryd. However, Tempered may not be able to go this year due to work obligations. You could fit five in my car but it wouldn't be the most fun drive. :p Part of the issue is that scheduled are still up in the air due to obligations still being a bit undefined.
-
I suppose let's try to plan for tomorrow? If you guys are hosting what's the earliest we're allowed to arrive? Now that I've finally opened up my copy of MKX and started unlocking stuff I can tag it along if anyone wants to mash in it. That and I've narrowed down my character selection to a few. Though I still haven't figured out how to sync my PS3 pad to my PS4 controller. :|
-
Who's in your crosshairs? Still looking at Cassie. And Sub-Zero because Sub-Zero. Also might mess around with bug girl because some of her shit looks nasty in all the best ways. Also down for tomorrow. There might be some interest in UAT on DL.
-
I've been using Kung Lao and Sonya the most because they both seem relatively simple and effective at the same time. Kung Lao has one of the best punishers in the game (EX Spin). Sonya doesn't rely much on meter so that just means more chances to use her X-Ray which can do 50%+. Plus they both have dive kicks. Funny you mention crosshairs because I've messed around a little with Erron Black [Marksman]. Definitely not as easy to play as Outlaw but looks pretty fun. He's kinda like Elphelt as cheesy as that sounds; grenades, rifle stance, good normals, high combo damage vs cornered opponents, and a command throw. But I haven't really used him all that much because that moon errr variant requires some work.
I did notice there's some interest in meeting at UAT over on DL. Guess we'll just have to play it by ear. If I go to UAT I'll be sure not to forget my PS3 this time.
-
If I got to UAT I probably wont be hosting. If I dont ill be hosting after 7. It might be a short meetup this weekend as I get used to my new sleep schedule.
-
I guess most people are tied up with PCC. See you guys at 7. We doing dinner? Looks like one guy is going. One. Hmm.
-
Oh right PCC is going down this weekend. x_X I'm guessing if only one person is available for UAT, then perhaps it's best to just meet up at 7? :psyduck: If so, then we'll just do a food run then?
-
Tomorrow?
-
I'm down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lk21j1sjlk
Best combo @3:19.
-
ill be hosting a little bit earlier. starting at 6. Kick people out when I get tired. Dont know when thatll be. Sleep schedule is all weird atm.
-
Also do people want to eat when everyone is here or before we start?
-
I just had lunch less than a half hour ago. So I'm ok with waiting a bit.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHZ68Ctnn8I
@2:55 - Best Dualist combo feat. tk fireball loops
-
Yeah I figured that out the other night but it so impractical. I like how the video says it features setups but there were none.
-
MKX was fun times. I know that the game can be pretty strict on inputs but after a while it seriously started to feel like there was TV lag. :-\ I REALLY wanna play Kung Lao but after seeing how successful players have been using him in recent tourneys I might reconsider because he seems so try-hard now. lol I'm glad but also surprised considering he's not even a top 10 character. I'll mess around with other characters here and there but will try not to get too caught up in it considering Animevo will be here before we know it. But at the very least I can say that competitive MKX has been pretty exciting to watch so far.
-
maybe if we get it setup on something proper it will feel right. But having to input commands while trying to predict the future is hard. Rip PS3 stick + TV ??
-
I'm guessing the PS3 stick just naturally has more lag in the game's current state which is unfortunate because it's nice to play the game on such a high-res tv.
Also,
FFFFFFFFFFFF YEAAAAAAAH!!!!!
BLACK OPS THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
now w/PS4 early access exclusivity.
And dippy, can you PLEASE make sure you pass boot camp before the beta comes out in August? Don't be that guy who constantly tries to fire his weapon with no bullet in the chamber. :P
...and you still owe me $2. :-X
-
PS3 sticks in MKX have additional input delay. Apparently Lab Zero and NRS are working to get that patched out before Evo but who knows if it will make it. The TV also does has some display lag -- I've tuned it to be as low as I can get it, but it's not going to be the same as a gaming-spec Asus or BenQ like we typically use.
Hey, it takes work to not have the awareness of a blind pig! Of course I had some really bad spots to go and do that... but is there ever a good situation to try to fire an empty gun in?
And yeah yeah yeah you'll get your two copies of Aquapazza. :3
-
Anything tomorrow? I have FF14 3.0 to fuck around with if not, so anything's fine.
-
Going to take a break from hosting myself this week.. If dippy wants people to come over i'm not going to complain. Just probably not going to play as many games.
-
I suppose if anything's happening, let us know sooner than later. Was hoping to get in a little time before next week's event. Otherwise I'll probably just be on AW since I haven't played it in a while and new content got released.

MKX Patch notes 6-23-15 (http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Latest-Updates/Patch-notes-XboxOne-and-PS4-6-23-15/ba-p/572379). Seems like this is the Kitana buffs patch so I might try her next time around.
Also, the winner of MKX at CEO2015 was.....DJT's Grandmaster Sub. :o Grand finals was pretty interesting because it had more variety than the rest of the top 8 which was practically Tanya mirrors. Oh and there was a D'Vorah player too.
But it's official, I've secured the time off for Evo. I requested it last Friday but it got stuck in the system or something so I had to re-submit it and it was approved almost immediately
Also, RIP PSN downloads. The DMC4SE festivities will have to wait until this upcoming July 4th weekend. Unfortunately I have a few hours of OT on Sunday morning so I won't be staying as late. I heard a much earlier start might be the case for this weekend.
And dippy, where am I supposed to go to register for additional Evo games assuming it's not too late? I'll try to see if I can register for Melee and Tekken 7. Would you also be willing to play a little AH3LM this weekend? I'd like to say I put in a little time before Evo rolls around. And you still owe me $2. :-X
EDIT: nvm. It seems like registration for Evo is officially closed so I guess I won't be able to register for additional games at this point.
-
I need to know when people can get to my place the Thursday before Evo (and/or if it would make more sense to pick up Ryd and H-F on the way there).
H-F, I would be up for playing AH3:LM. Let's celebrate the 4th by shooting little girls into the sky. (Not literally, though... no, really.) Just make sure you come correct or your waifu is going to get kicked in the head... again. And RIP your chance at that $30,000 pot bonus T7 got (that Japan and Korea are going to be fighting over).
-
It makes a lot more sense for you to pick me up on the way out of town.
-
I believe last year you picked me up because I was along the way. Not sure if that will be the case if you're picking up Carlos.
For tomorrow, what time should we meet up? Last week I thought I heard of an earlier start around 4 pm but not sure if that's too early.
-
Won't be able to make Sat until 8. Collecting dat holiday pay.

I talked to Tempered and he doesn't want people coming by until about 5-6, so I would go with that.
-
I'll probably be there between 5-6 then. Not sure how busy other places will be tonight, but I was considering buying a pack of ribs or 2 for dinner tonight so we don't have to travel. Any other suggestions? Just a thought because I won't be staying super late since I have a few hours of OT tomorrow morning.

Just trying to get everything squared away, what time are we planning to leave on Thursday? And I get out from work a little early on Wednesday, but like last year, anyone up for a cram session on Wednesday night? Chances are I won't be getting any sleep that night anyway because it'll happen during the trip. If not, then no worries. Debating on whether I should bring my laptop along in case we end up watching streams throughout the weekend. In any case, I should have all my packing done by tomorrow night. And I JUST remembered dippy that your older PS3 doesn't have Xrd 1.1 on it and your other one doesn't have it installed. If necessary I can bring my PS3 because I have it installed and it's updated so there are 2 Xrd setups.
-
Won't be available Wednesday since family decided it'd be good to have a surprise visit or something, and I figure I should spend a day with them before running off to Vegas.
-
I'm looking to leave early Thursday morning -- planning to leave from my place at roughly 7 AM or so (and hopefully I actually leave around then in this instance). Also, be aware that there is no free Internet access at the hotel, so even if you brought a laptop someone would have to pay up for Internet access.
As for a session today, I know Tempered has work early tomorrow morning so I don't think he wants people staying that late. The issue with Xrd I should be able to fix, although I may need to dick with the PS3 a fair bit. I could also probably just borrow Tempered's copy if ultimately needed.
-
I'm aware there's never free wi-fi access at the hotels but we always split wi-fi costs anyhow, but it was just a thought.
For a session later today, I wasn't planning on staying too late. I do get out from work earlier than usual but I'll text you and see what's going on around then.
-
So will be hosting tomorrow. Thinking of something like 5/6-12/1.
-
Probably can't make this weekend; couple different familial obligations. Also working the next few Saturdays; any chance we can do Sundays and start/end a little earlier in the day?
-
Don't think I'll be available tomorrow (Sunday). But for the next couple of weekends I don't see an issue with Sundays. Earlier start/end would be preferred.
-
I'm fine with hosting on Sundays. Ill put up later when ill be hosting. This weekend will have to be Saturday though.
-
So ill be hosting tomorrow, Sunday. Going to do it between 4-10.
-
Finally, a manga made for Dippy.

See you guys tomorrow. What are we playing?
-
Tempered and I have been playing MKX lately. Might haul my PS4 to try the game without the extra tv lag. Other than that I'm guessing it'll be more or less whatever people feel like.
-
rant removed
MKX stuff for Tempered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmPpcSv3ZSQ
Pig of the Hut recently released his Kenjutsu Kenshi guide and from 6:25-8:25 he shows how to punish some of his options. I tested d+4 into tele-push and it seems like Kung Lao can't punish it which is pretty shocking. I tried using Mournful Kitana which is what I've been kinda messing around with and it seems she can use her shadow kick to punish but the spacing and timing are extremely tight. So kinda bleh.
Also, Sub Zero's b+2 overhead is -13 regardless of spacing. So EX hat spin is beyond free in terms of punishes but you can actually use f+2,3 to punish instead and use the meter for a bigger punish.

Dragon's Fire Liu Kang pseudo-block infinte w/Tom Brady commentary. Apparently this isn't exactly new, but it's still pretty lolzy. Namely the end parts of both videos where he mentions having to take a hit to get out of this sequence.
-
Finally found the Hitman movie for $5. Hope you guys are ready :laffo:
-
(http://cdn.meme.am/images/300x/5018883.jpg)
-
So my job threw some random paperwork and shit on me for this new position i'm going into so I might not be able to host tomorrow. ill try and get it done tonight but TI5 took up alot of time.
-
What's the verdict?
-
Guessing that was a "no" for the weekend. Either that or you guys are dicks and decided to go without me. Also, why did nobody tell me there's a Vocaloid IA game on the Vita?
-
For a moment I thought I was the one being left out of the plans. But I suppose that wasn't the case. :psyduck: But judging by what transpired, I'm guessing "no" was the final answer.
-

I may or may not have spent the whole weekend playing IA/VT... :gonk:
Wait, we play fighting games?
-
Well, I might not be playing fighting games next week with the BlOps 3 beta dropping a week from now. I think I have an idea of which specialists I want to use first. I'm hoping that it fares better than the pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha build of SF5. :-X
-
Yeah I left you nerds out of me playing FGs by myself!!!!
Anyways i'm hosting this week. We doing Sat. or does Carlos still need Sun?
-
Carlos still needs Sun.
-
any preferred times? Im thinking 4-10 again
-
That's fine.
-
This one is ok with 4-10 tomorrow. Next weekend I'm not too sure exactly when I'll be available since I'll have family visiting.

-
So the bonuses that came with the IA/VT -Colorful- collector's box are very...well...colorful. Truth in advertising, I guess. I guess I'll finally be setting up a Japanese PSN account for that free DLC.
<--Basically my reaction on seeing the Vita soft case that was included.
-
I forgot to ask...Hitman movie tomorrow possibly? If so, I'll bring the popcorn. :-X
-
I'll bring it, but I'll leave it up to you guys to decide when you want to watch it. I won't open it till we get together for it though; a magical experience like this is something you have to share :laffo:
-
Go for it. Im not a fan of popcorn but Ill be up for watching a bad(?) movie.
-
You mean it's still sealed? I also forgot to ask if it was some super rare limited collector's edition that someone tossed into the bargain bin that you happened to stumble upon. :bricks:
-
Carlos I was better off not knowing what birdemic was.
-
Tempered learned true shock and horror :laffo:
-
I've got family visiting this weekend so I'm not sure if/when I'll be available. On a sidenote it's time for shift bids at my job again. Not sure if I'll be able to get a schedule with both weekends off but I'll be able to get at least one that has one of the weekend days off. I could get a shift with both weekend days off but the hours really suck.
-

-
Entering tourneys as "Below the Radar" from now on :V
-
Not on social media. Shows up at random events challenging everyone to FUC. Surprised at being below the radar. :psyduck:
-
http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Latest-Updates/Patch-Notes-8-31-2015/ba-p/756091
This latest MKX patch. Some characters got overhauled.
CRYOMANCERRRRRRRR!!!!!
I wonder who's next for Kombat Pack 2. Smoke plz.
-
It is a long weekend this weekend -- any of you dweebs coming through?
-
Probably not, at least until further notice.
-
Could do Sunday.
-
I'm in town this weekend, so I'll try to stop by if you guys are hosting.
-
You're here this weekend? I was hoping to get back into the swing of things for Xrd since the monthlies will be starting up again soon but unfortunately my time is booked for the weekend. The only time I'd realistically be available is tonight but even then it's really iffy and I don't think it works best for everyone either. So I might have to pass.
Moving forward, my new shift starts next week but I still have weekend days off.
-
So Sunday this weekend?
-
I'd prefer Saturday if at all possible but Sunday might be workable.
-
Working Sat, so unless Tempered doesn't mind hosting till 3-4am, Sun works better for me.
-
if your okay with it I can do those times now on Sat. I'd rather have everyone over when hosting though and need to get stuff planned before Friday.
-
I'm fine with late night Sat. What are we playing now, anyway?
-
Just remember that this Saturday me and Dippy are going to see the Love Live movie so its going to have to be Sunday. :slowpoke:
-
Nerds. What time is that? I wouldn't be able to make it till 11pm anyway, so unless you're catching a late show or are planning on building waifu shrines...
-
IIRC it's @ 6:45 so I guess we could still hold the late night meetup. As for games I'm playing it's mostly just been melty net play but I'm up for my usual list.
-

It's at 6:30 -- and good seats are still available. (https://www.movietickets.com/purchase/perf_id/805037026/movieid/212063/exid/Har/language/0) :V I just talked to Tempered and it does sound like he plans on hosting fairly late that night, so Saturday night should be OK (barring any unfortunate waifu on waifu violence).
-
WEEBS!!!!!!!!!!
Considering how much you guys assume how much of an anime person I am, I'm kinda surprised you didn't invite me to tag along. Then again I know practically nothing about Love Live so I would've been the odd one out anyway. Not that I'm complaining. :-X
As for what's getting played, I guess it's kind of whatever. I'd like to get back into Xrd with the monthlies coming up again. Then there's the same select few that I'll usually play. Outside of that I'd like to mess around with MKX because of the latest patch but I think Tempered(?) is the only one who will play it besides me.
-
So for the actual host times unless the movie is needlessly long 10-4 should be good.
-
Looks like I'll be having dinner before I head over.
-
Can do Sat this weekend.
-
Same time as last week?
-
Whenever. I have the weekend off, so whatever time you guys want games and/or dinner works.
-
Works for me. Just need a time frame.
-
I'll be in town again this week, but I've got a family event, so I'm not sure if I can make it. If I can, I'll try to show up, but I'll probably be late. I still need to make good on my promise to Carlos to try F:UC.
-
Works for me. Just need a time frame.
10-4 again unless carlos can make it earlier.
-
I believe he said he can arrive whenever, but until further notice I'm guessing it'll be a late start like last week.
-
Whenever. I have the weekend off, so whatever time you guys want games and/or dinner works.
Not working, so whenever really means whenever.
-
oh whoops. Missed that part. well I think 8-2 would work out a bit better.
-
Are we doing dinner, or should I get something before heading over?
-
me and dippy just ate so id recommend dinner.
-
Well, it's past 12:30, and guests are STILL here. Yeah, I'm not getting out of here tonight. I'll have to try F:UC another time. :(
-
There's something up with Dippy's MB setup; tested my stick today just to make sure it was actually fucked before doing something drastic like replacing it, and it worked fine in both +R and MB.
Also, UAT tourneys tomorrow.
-
Ugh I forgot my lunch and had to eat vending machine food. Didn't sit well with me apparently. Nothing 12 hours of sleep doesn't fix though.
-
It's alright, you didn't miss too much when we got there. Just a ton of Arcana and......*gulp* a little AquaPazza. :-X I'll let the other guys explain the latter.
-
Either late night Sat or anytime Sun.
-
Tonight if possible?
EDIT: NVM. Povertfest is this weekend.
-
What do peeps want to do this weekend.
-
Start at 8-9 on Sat, or any time on Sun.
-
Sat. works for me.
-
Might be able to show up earlier tomorrow. What are we playing?
-
8pm sounds fine. As for what were playing, Melty Blood? +R? DFC? Alpha 3? Jontron? who knows.
-
I'll play the same select few games as usual. 8 pm start is alright with me and I'll probably get food before then.
-
Going to be doing some overtime this weekend and wont be able to host.
-
Are any of you fools coming by this weekend?
Edit: Apparently there's a ranbat at UAT tomorrow (https://www.facebook.com/events/877534302327151).
Edit Edit: Saw on Facebook that Ryd won't be off work until 11 PM. Dunno if there's anything happening here after the event.
-
I had NO idea there was even an event tomorrow. I normally check the dustloop thread every now and again but it's been almost 2 weeks since anyone posted in there until now. Hell, I can't remember the last time I've played a FG because it feels like it's been forever. If I recall correctly, it was 2 weeks ago when it was all Melty, but prior to that it was last month's ranbat. :-\ If I go it'll probably just be for casuals, and if I don't, well I doubt anyone's expecting me either way.

I was expecting you. I think most people, myself included, tend to assume that the people who aren't directly connected to the social media outlet being used will probably hear about things from the other people who are, but I guess that didn't happen this time. Besides, if you're not there, how much will a victory in Xrd even mean, anyway?
The event was supposed to be posted on Dustloop, but Dustloop was down when the event got created and then we forgot to go back and post it later. In retrospect, I probably should have posted the event here, but I guess I assumed word would get around. =/
-
I don't think it would mean much either way because I haven't played Xrd since the last monthly as it is. :-\ But I'll be there after I pick up Tempered from work, so we'll probably be arriving closer to when the Xrd signups are supposed to close.
-
Sunday works a lot better for me this week.
-
I don't know if anyone missed my post on Dustloop about Xrd at Rewired, but I thought I'd post it here, just in case:
So, there's been some misinformation about Xrd at Rewired. Xrd is still at Rewired as a side tournament -- nothing has changed. But there's only a few days left for registration (which closes November 1st), so if you haven't signed up yet, please do so soon! I'd love to see a good turnout.
The reason it wasn't showing up on the website was because of a problem where a backup copy of the site had to be used, which just happened to not have Xrd on it, and Nick missed it. So, yeah, Xrd is still happening. I hope to see you all there!
tl;dr Disregard the rumors, Xrd is still at Rewired.
-
So, anything today?
-
Finally, I can access this site. For some reason I couldn't for the past couple days. Unfortunately I probably won't be available because I have to pick up family from the airport around 7:30 and bring them home, which means I'd have to head back out to that area again afterwards. So I wouldn't be available again until later due to the travel time.
-
Any of you clowns coming through this weekend? Figured some of you might need a break from dudebro hunting season... oh who am I kidding.
-
Late Sat or anytime Sun.
-
Maybe tomorrow. A break from dudebro hunting season in favor of something like...Aquap*ow*??? Sorry, never heard of it. :-X
-
Late sat works for me since I get out of work later now due to time change.
-
Just to double check, if we're meeting up tonight what time can we show up? Depending on the time, anyone down for a food run?
Tempered did Amazon ship your copy of BO3 yet? Because if by chance they didn't, should probably just cancel and we can pick one up at Gamestop. :| On a somewhat related note, some group named Anime Gamers sent me an invite to join their BO3 clan. Haha very funny you guys. :gonk: Well I guess you guys didn't do it, but I remember receiving an invitation from this same group back when BO2 was the standard.
-
Well since Carlos mentioned a late night meetup I guess showing up around 10 would be the plan
-
Alright 10 it is. I'll just keep busy until then.
-
Derp, I think I forgot the Nanase phone charm last night. Might've fallen on the floor during MB.

lol advice for the ages :-X
dat range: http://www.twitch.tv/azurewanderings/v/25010447
-
So what is this weekend looking like?
-
Open for tomorrow, whenever.
-
can do anytime after 8 really.
-
Will try to be there a little after 8 then. We doing dinner?
-
I'm down for dinner. I should be there between 8:30-9:00 or so. Chili's maybe?
-
Anything this weekend? Dippy complained about the late start last week, so if he wants to play games, we can start earlier and go to dinner when Tempered gets home or something.
-

I'm doing the same stuff that I do normally on the weekend.
Which is nothing. So you all can come by earlier in the evening and get food and maybe I can try to remember how to play Aquapazzafighting games.
-
I suppose I can take a little time away from the double XP grind for the time being. Though I'm kinda surprised they started it on a Thursday as opposed to Friday like they normally would. AH3LM anyone??? Also what time can we arrive? I was leaning towards sometime between 7-8.
-
hi.
so I'll be around from the 22nd to 2nd of January. right in the middle of holiday season, but was wondering if you guys would object to a get-together sometime around there. if people are gonna be busy/out of town nbd.
-
As is holiday tradition, I bought way more food than I need for just myself and Tempered. So if any of you clowns want to come through Thursday or Friday and have dinner, come on down.
Ryd, is this your spiciness scale? (http://i.imgur.com/wfKRkX2.jpg)

I don't know about anyone else but I'm doing all kinds of nothing this holiday. Dunno about anyone else, though..
-
Family crap on Thanksgiving and working Friday night...
Ryd, is this your spiciness scale? (http://i.imgur.com/wfKRkX2.jpg)
That damn chart gets around faster than a dimestore hooker. As I said the first time, any scale I go by would have to at least go up to 10 so that I can order an 11. Or 100. Anyway, I wouldn't stop at an awkward number like 7, and "Too Hot" would exist after "Fuck".
-
I'm working a half day today. So I may not be available today until later tonight but I have all day tomorrow off. I'll probably text one of you guys if I'm ok to head over.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfg0mImqLhk
For Carlos I suppose if you ever get around to trying BO3 in the future. The character you might want use is at 6:47. She's the demolitions expert who uses a grenade launcher and she loves explosives and probably Michael Bay films as much as the next guy.
-
Don't forget there's also the UAT free-bats on Sat. I'll be there for UNIB and MB if Dippy's running it.
-
I wont be hosting this weekend.
-
my aim iz gud pt.2 (http://www.twitch.tv/azurewanderings/v/27915733)
-
Anything tomorrow?
-
y/n? Need to plan out what I'll be doing tonight as best I can given the short time that's left.
EDIT: I'll guess that nothing is happening atm. But if anything changes, someone plz text me.
-
Guess ill post this early so I don't forget. Ill host this Saturday. Get home at 9 so it'll start then.
-
Why is Boston more active than us?
Will be there after work, around 11.
-
Late start today. Looks like I'll be there between 9-10.
-
Anything this weekend? Late Sat or anytime Sun.
-
yeah ill be hosting again on Saturday. After 9 like usual or if someone wants to pick me up from work at 6:45 we can start earlier. NPB+ came out and wouldn't mind trying that.
-
Seems my inevitable torture was delayed by a week, but sadly no longer. Christmas is coming up after all and I heard it's getting released here. Anyone wanna buy me a PS4 copy? :-X If that happens, I might try to get remotely decent. No one's gonna do that though, but I might regret giving someone the idea later on. I'd say what I really think about it, but I don't think I have the energy right now. But I will say the biggest struggle for me is to find a character that's intriguing. NOT Saber or Heart if that's what anyone was thinking, for reasons I don't feel like going into. I'll be positive and try to have some fun, though I do hope nothing happens that makes me wish I stayed home playing BO3 all weekend. Then again, there's no double XP this weekend for anything so I can spare the time away after completing a few recent grinds. If any of you guys want to give me flak for trying this game, I advise you re-consider before I punch you in your breathing hitbox. >:(

Why would I (or anyone else) give you grief for playing that?... or anything, really. Just hit me with a brick (carefully) or something if I get too far out of line.
As for who to play in N+B, I could actually see you playing Al Azif, H-F. Straightforward, flat-chested combat waifu? Sounds exactly like your type of character. :V
I do have a Christmas present for you, H-F (and one for Ryd, too!). It's not a copy of N+B, though. I think you'll love and hate it all the same. (And they're not here yet, so you'll have to wait until next week. Which is probably after Christmas, but who cares.)
-
I think the point I wanted to drive home in that last post was about the breathing hitboxes. It's a lot cleaner than using a brick.
Al Azif? I can honestly say I don't know who that is. lol I think there were a few other sword characters in the game though I don't know their names. But we'll see.
As for said Christmas gift, if it were a copy of N+B I would have been legitimately worried but coming from you I feel like I should be worried either way. :-\
So start time is after 9? On an unrelated note, I remember we watched honest trailers last weekend and one of them was for Independence Day. And what happens? The NEW Independence Day movie gets revealed a few days later. lol
-
Soooo....I guess N+B was sort of fun-ish? Well about as much as one could be on a day 1 scenario. But would it be fair to say I'd much rather be playing something else (like Xrd)? I just don't want to be that guy who asks to play something else when others are on a 100+ session of matches. Silence can be awkward, but breaking it can be equally if not moreso. Maybe I need to give it another go. :-\
As for this week, I have 2 dinners to attend. One on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The one on Christmas Eve will be in the afternoon I might be available later that night. If all our schedules are jumbled up and nothing works out, then worst case scenario it'll be Saturday again from what I can tell.
Also, http://i.imgur.com/hfQx88g.jpg :(
-
I actually wanted to play some N+B, but you guys came over too late. orz That and I probably would have forgotten all of the Ethica combos I was practicing (even though they're all just variations of dropkick xx bugs xx dropkick xx eyebeams xx dropkick xx fumigate the damn house seriously why does that assist call so many goddamn bugs).
If you wanted to play something else, no one here is psychic. :x Although for Xrd, I get the impression that Ryd and Tempered don't like it all that much....
As for this weekend, I have Christmas off (for once), so if anyone wanted to come by Thursday or Friday night, that wouldn't be a problem
-
I'm off work mid-afternoon Thu and have nothing on Fri, so can do either of those days.
-
I mentioned Xrd for the simple fact that the 3 of us were discussing it last weekend.
Between Thu/Fri I'd say that Thu works best since I may be able to leave a little early. But I probably won't be there until closer to 9 or maybe after. Will have to see how everything plays out.
-
If people are coming by tomorrow or Friday, let me know so I will have a general idea of when to have food ready.
-
Will most likely stop by Thu, 7ish.
-
Thu works best but I might be there until 8:30-9. Will txt if anything changes.
-
Maybe around 8 instead; I think I might want a nap after work...
-
Should be arriving around the same time I mentioned yesterday. Anyone wanna come for a ride in my new car? Probably to go to QT or something for late night snacks. lol Love the new car smell.
I guess I have a Christmas gift for dippy. While it may not be as expensive(?) as the ones he got us, I don't think he'd refuse.
-
Dippy, I don't know where you get your info, but I would've gladly taken the mangled corpse of a yandere stuffed into a PS3 game case over the...thing...you chose instead. I just don't see why I had to get punished because of what H-F said :bricks:
H-F, I hope you learned something from this.
Meeting up tomorrow, too, or did Dippy's "gifts" ruin the weekend for everyone?
-
Hey, don't blame ME for what happened. YOU were the one who suggested playing it when we gave him that FT10. How I even got dragged into that is beyond me. Even if I mentioned it in passing, YOU were the one who was proactive about playing it that night. >:(
As for the "gifts" themselves.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3HAk3L3Ln4 . I would have GLADLY taken the alternative (COD on Vita). It's the 2nd best in the series. I'd have accepted Ghosts as well considering you probably won't have paid more than $1 for it. I'm sure that is cheaper than....what I got. And dippy, do you realize that you got me something for a console that I no longer own? I had to sell my PS3 to buy my brother's Wii U. Besides, I'm on my PS4 nowadays. Maybe if you got me the PS4 of the game :psyduck:....or trolled me with a copy of NPB.
I dunno about meeting up this weekend, but if anyone wants to play Arcana (please?), then I'll show. But it's ultimately up to our gracious hosts. Truth be told, despite having an entire week off from work, I've had little to no time to do anything for myself. I wouldn't say the "gifts" destroyed my weekend seeing that I can't actually use it, but yeah, see above link.
-
I know its late but no meetup this weekend. Really tired for some reason.
-
I can host tomorrow if people want to come over. At 9 like usual. Or if people want to come over earlier they can talk to dippy. Or pick me up from work at 6:45.
-
Happy New Year everyone, I hope you're enjoying your gifts...
Dippy, I don't know where you get your info, but I would've gladly taken the mangled corpse of a yandere stuffed into a PS3 game case over the...thing...you chose instead. I just don't see why I had to get punished because of what H-F said :bricks:

And dippy, do you realize that you got me something for a console that I no longer own? I had to sell my PS3 to buy my brother's Wii U. Besides, I'm on my PS4 nowadays. Maybe if you got me the PS4 of the game :psyduck:....or trolled me with a copy of NPB.

I just want to spread love and good games. :(
As for this weekend, I can have people earlier in the evening here. Or you can pick up Tempered from work, that would work too.
-
Working tonight, won't be there till 11ish.
-
I'll try to be there between 7-8 if people want to go for food. Might as well use part of the "gift" but I dunno just how much is on that card. :-X
I just want to spread love and good games. :(
There are good games, and then there are BETTER ones. Make sure you know the distinction next time to avoid all of.....this.
:psyduck:
-
Lets watch Frozen this weekend.
-
You don't mean like....the Disney movie.....right? :psyduck: Sorry if you may have been looking for NPB action last weekend Carlos. :-\ Tempered and I did play a short session but it wasn't too long before the +R started. I suppose with that game I'm at the point where I just need my own training mode to experiment with other assists and another character.
Now that I (sort of) have a Wii U, I ordered a copy of Smash 4 and a GCN converter so they'll be arriving no later than Saturday.
-
Nothing wrong with Frozen; I can bring it over if you really want to watch it.
I'm not going to complain about getting to play +R.
May or may not make it this weekend because work on both Sat/Sun; depends on how I'm feeling after.
-
I might be able to show up if you guys host this weekend. I'll be in town, but I'm not sure how busy I'll be yet.
-
Well ill host Sat like usual after 9.
-
Got out of werk tomorrow. Is that pickup at 6:45 for earlier start time still valid, Tempered? If so, give me your work address and I'll pick you up unless Dippy wants to start even earlier, in which case we'll pick you up for dinner or something. Those gift cards were the real X-mas present, so we shouldn't let them go to waste.
-
I don't have anything against Frozen. I actually haven't seen it. My expression of surprise was moreso because we haven't watched a movie, let alone a Disney one, in I dunno how long. If we're going to have a movie night, I suppose I'll bring the popcorn again. :-X
Also, my thoughts exactly with the gift cards. Chili's sounds good to me.
<----- My reaction to the original supposed "gift"
-
I'll be picking up Tempered at 6:45, so let's prep accordingly.
-
I'll be there as close to 7 as possible. I'm guessing we're going to dinner right after. Dippy I hope you don't miss my text messages like you did last week. Don't get left behind. :-X btw my car still thinks your name is "Hippy".
-
GGs in Xrd Luke. I'm glad you showed up because if I had to listen to these guys' drivel about idols any longer I would've had to put a bullet into every one of them. And it turns out I'm not the only one. Since I was half asleep for most of it, all I truly heard was "H-F would like such and such because they're blue." STOP trying to tempt me. I see what you're trying to do. >:(
So the Dave & Busters is pretty close by as expected because I've been around that area multiple times. As expected they do have a couple of Tekken 7 machines. I can't tell exactly how much it is per credit because you have to buy one of their cards and add points to it. I tried playing Kazumi because she's the character I really want to use but couldn't really do much of anything without a command list. Only played through the arcade mode several times because it's only 5 stages sadly. I will say her tiger uppercut is simply d/f+2. No fancy inputs, no crouch dash, just d/f+2. lol I suppose in the off chance that I ever host or when my birthday rolls around, we can take a trip down there to play it and have dinner. And unless people have their own D&B card, credits would be on me just to make things easy and we could work something out from there. wtf happened to putting quarters into machines? Shows you how much I've kept up to date with arcade games. On a semi-related note since it's also made by Bamco, they have Time Crisis 5 machines. Hard to believe that series is still around. If you need birthday gift ideas, NPB(?) and SF5 are both released pretty close to my birthday. :)
Unfortunately I lost my chance to play AH3LM last night due to expressing ever so minor disappointment. But the opportunity will come next weekend when I have the controls. NO surprises there. HOWEVER, Dippy....someone kinda spent a little time with their "gift" and it wasn't me. :-X As for next weekend's plans, I did inquire about that, but I forgot, we don't plan. We only discuss things the night before or the day of. Silly me. :bricks:
-
Its just a fun rhythm game. And a fun anime. What could go wrong? If not idols its not like theres a bunch of other stuff we could recommend :laffo: I mean we all had a great time watching High School of the Dead right? Right!?
Well if people want to plan we have this very forum for that! Maybe this time we can go to chillis when john madden FOOTBALL isn't being broadcast. Actually have the movie/anime night we've been talking about. Plan which games we want to play. Or just watch jontron all night again. W/e works.
-
Movie night? Movie night. (http://kizumonogatari-usa.com/theater.html)
-
The AMC theater by Chili's has 7:15/9:15/10:30 showtimes on Sat, so we could do dinner first or movie first after Tempered gets out. Or we can forgo Star Wars and I can bring over Frozen, Yakuza Apocalypse, Cooties, The Martian, or whatever else you guys might want to watch. Or we can watch the iM@S:CG anime and do Chili's at some point. Or whatever. Planning, go.
-
I'd like to have Chili's this weekend if possible. I'm guessing if the Chili's and AMC are that close together, we should plan around the showtimes. I've heard that Star Wars is approximately a 2 hour movie so that should give us a rough estimate as to when we'll be leaving the theater. I think the easiest option might be going to the movie first at 7:15 and then we can head to Chili's afterwards and hopefully the wait time won't be nearly as long after 9 pm. Of course, that requires us to be at the theater around 7 and given the circumstances, I'm not sure if we'd get there in time. My guess is that both the theater and Chili's might be busy around that time. If we went to dinner first, then we'd have ample time to make the 9:15 showing. Those are my thoughts.
-
2.5 hours.
-
Oops. Looks like it's 2.5 hours. The clock's ticking, so what's the verdict?
-
Meet at Dippy's around 6ish?
-
Sounds good to me. I'll be leaving soon.
-
So what do we want to do this weekend?
-
Kill hobos?
-
I guess.
-
Have fun!
-
You have to learn to appreciate the finer things in life, Tempered. I guess we can play games if you guys want. I can pick up Tempered on my way over if that's what you'd rather do.
-
Time frame? There's a good chance I'll be having dinner before I head over.
I suppose in an attempt to plan ahead, is anyone busy 2 weekends from now (Feb.5-6)? The reason I ask is because I'll have my house all to myself. While this isn't necessarily so much for me hosting as it is the suggestion I made a while back about going to D&B's for dinner and Tekken 7 because my b-day is right around the corner from that weekend. So just wanted to get some feedback.
I've given this a little thought....I guess it wouldn't hurt or kill me to try DFCI (not necessarily today). Anyone wanna buy me a (PS4) copy? More b-day gift ideas. :) Remember T7 credits will be on me.
-
You have to learn to appreciate the finer things in life, Tempered. I guess we can play games if you guys want. I can pick up Tempered on my way over if that's what you'd rather do.
That would be preffered.
Well if Carlos picks me up we can start at around 7. If not starting at 9 like usual will probably be the plan.
-
I'll pick you up on my way over.
-
I'll be there a bit later. Probably around 9-10 or so.
-
I suppose in an attempt to plan ahead, is anyone busy 2 weekends from now (Feb.5-6)?
I think the next ranbat is planned for the 6th, but the date hasn't been finalized.
-
Didn't realize there has been some discussion about that after a couple months. Then again I'm not in the Line chat for good reasons. Unfortunately I cannot move the date seeing that is the only weekend that works for my aforementioned plans. It'll ultimately depend on what you guys would like to do. Rath is flexible when it comes to planning and I don't think he'd have trouble floating the date around for the ranbat. Then again it depends on everyone else's schedules as well. All I can ask at this point is to give it some thought.
-
There's a very good chance I will not be available this weekend because it's double XP weekend in BO3 starting tomorrow. I have A LOT of XP to cash in to the point where I had to make a spreadsheet for everything that needs to be done. I suppose depending on how much progress I've made, I'll show. If not, then I'll see everyone on the weekend of Feb. 6th either at the next monthly or at D&B's for dinner and T7. Hopefully that all gets squared away sooner than later.
-
Guess this would be a good weekend for a break then.
-
H-F, hit us up with your dinner plans for Saturday as there's no ranbat. I'm guessing that Ryd would come here and we would then pick Tempered up from work and stuff would happen? I dunno.
-
Dunno if you still have any interest anymore HF, but P4AU is apparently free on PS+ right now: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/playstation-plus/.
Also, I'll be in town this weekend, but I think I'm probably doing family stuff (not sure yet), so don't worry about me for any plans. I might be free later, though.
-
Thanks for the heads up Luke. FREE for PSN+? I'll gladly download it if that's the case though if/when I play it is another story because I haven't connected my PS3 in a while. lol Thankfully it's possible to purchase PSN content directly from the site. But the benefits for being a PS+ member are nice.
I suppose for this weekend, here's what I've got. The Desert Ridge D&B's is open until 1 AM on Saturdays. I'm not sure how busy they are on Saturday nights, but I get the feeling that with those hours, we should have plenty of time for dinner and T7 or whatever else they have. If everyone's ok with this portion of the plans, should we meet at D&B's? Or should we all meet up first and take one car? Now what happens afterwards is up in the air and depends on how long people are available. Since I have the house all to myself this weekend, I don't mind hosting (just don't make a mess) but my living room just isn't ideal for gaming, but I can make some small re-arrangements. I suppose using the dining room table for a gaming setup isn't all too uncommon. And speaking of setups, if anyone wants to play DFCI or NPB, you'll have to provide the console/disc (I've got a monitor) since I don't own a copy of either game (unless someone gifts them to me :-X). On a sidenote, Bayonetta is pretty fun in Smash 4. Is it wrong to say I kinda like the game? I suppose in the off-chance anyone wants to play it with me just for fun, bring a GCN controller because I have a converter.
So have at it.
-
Id be up for playing Sm4sh cause I definitely would like to mess around with Cloud and Bayonetta.
-
Good. I bought all the DLC characters from a huge bundle they just released. I'm currently using Bayonetta and Corrin because new character hype aside, I feel I'll get more enjoyment out of the game if I just use new characters from scratch. As for unlockable characters, I only have Falco and Lucina because those are the only ones I'd use but the rest can be unlocked by playing matches so that won't be a problem.
Looks like my dining room table can support up to 2 setups because there's 2 pairs of outlets close to it. If we end up going for late night snacks there's a QT nearby as well.
-
H-F, hit us up with your dinner plans for Saturday as there's no ranbat. I'm guessing that Ryd would come here and we would then pick Tempered up from work and stuff would happen? I dunno.
If we're going to be on the north end, it'll be a lot easier if we just meet there provided your car hasn't hit Uncle Buck status. 30 mins to Mesa and then 20-30 mins to Desert Ridge, and doing it again on the way back is :psyduck:
Id be up for playing Sm4sh cause I definitely would like to mess around with Cloud
You are dead to me.
-
So I guess I should pick up Tempered from work and then head to H-F's place? Does that sound like a reasonable plan?
I can bring a Wii U setup with a converter and all that jazz. I don't have any of the DLC characters, though. (I should make sure that it's even patched properly.)
-
Considering the route that I take home from your guys' place, it might be easier for you two to meet us at D&B's since it's more or less right off the 101 along the way to my place. Depending on when you pick up Tempered, maybe meeting there at 7:30 PM would be reasonable? Be careful, parking can be a real hassle.
Also, unless we all plan on playing Sm4sh 1v1 matches simultaneously (unlikely), I would say a second Wii U isn't necessary since I already have the DLC characters and the latest patch updates. I would recommend bringing another monitor if possible if I can't get the configuration around my big HDTV set up the way I'd like. The reason I suggested the other PS3 was because I don't have DFCI or NPB if anyone wants to play those (I'd prefer to own them on PS4 honestly). Otherwise my PS3 would suffice for the most part. I'll provide any updates through here or text message if I forgot to mention anything here.
EDIT: Please bring a monitor and PS3.
-
Alright guys, thanks for stopping by last night. It was a lot of fun. ;D
Just to recap the Tekken 7 highlights from last night:
- Tiger obstacle course. >:D
- Accidentally picking Lili via revenge match but performing better than I deserved to.
- Almost taking Dippy in a Lili mirror. Everyone knows this match was closer than it should have been. lol
- Genocide Cutter, all the while "Copacabana" was playing in the background.
- Tempered's triple electric combos. Now just tack on 3 more, and you're set. :P
- Carlos accidentally picking Kazuya via revenge match. At least I'm not the only one who made this mistake.
- Last but not least, ANIM****.....I mean, rage arts.
Is it wrong for me to say that I kinda liked playing Lili after what happened last night? Well, just a little. :-[ Don't get any weird ideas, and maybe we can (still?) be friends.
On a random note, I have Tuesday off from work, because well, reasons. Highly doubt anyone's available that day but just wanted to put it out there.
-
H-F Blade NTR Edition now available in a city near you :laffo: :bricks:
-
? ? ? ? ? ? ?
???
EDIT: Someone's being awfully quiet about all this. I thought we would've been yelled at by now.
-
Deadpool movie is fantastic. We should consider watching it this weekend, though keep in mind theater will be packed. Next week is that local tourney, something else to keep in mind. I probably won't go; not really feeling much love for the lineup. UNIEL is the only thing on there I somewhat enjoy playing and haven't touched it since that last ranbat, and I have better uses of $20.
-
I have family visiting this weekend so there's a chance I may be unavailable altogether. Only chance I would have to make it out there would be late Saturday night but it's iffy.

What, you don't want to play a real, honest fighter that demands solid fundamentals and good footsies?
Street Fighter 5? Huh? I'm talking about... Koihime Enbu! :V
IIRC there's no venue fee if you go to the event but only play casuals. You probably should go there, since I'm about 99% certain there's no session here next weekend. If people want to come by and get clipped in something this weekend though, that's fine.
-
Koihime En......I don't wanna think about it.
I haven't registered for the event and I think it might be too late. Not to mention I'm out of practice atm. Besides, next weekend is the open beta for The Division. I'll probably be busy with that despite the fact that I'll be leaning towards buying it on launch thanks to all the perks of GCU.
-
Will stop by tomorrow. We can discuss things further while the clipping ensues.
-
I would be up for the deadpool movie. I am also craving some curry. also iirc theres a 10 venue fee for undefeated.
-
There's a $20 venue fee for Undefeated. And I haven't registered either. I can't tell if the registration page is broken or if registration is over. I kind of want to go anyway because GC Yoshi is supposed to be there.
Speaking of the venue, does anyone know anything about it? There are a bunch of people who are supposedly going according to the Facebook page, and I'm wondering if the venue is big enough.
-
Site was borked earlier, Armando posted on FB, should be up now? Reg closes tomorrow. No fee to spectate. Going to give all this a pass; I'll save my annual loud-surrounded-by-unwashed-bodies experience for Evo.
Deadpool showtimes that we can realistically make at the AMC on Stapley are 8:10, 9:45, 10:30. I'll pick up Tempered on my way over.
-
Still on the fence about registering. But I may go to spectate and/or casuals.
Now that my plans have been squared away, I should be able to head over there around 9 or so assuming I don't run into traffic. So we should be able to make the 9:45 showtime otherwise the 10:30 isn't too far off.
-
Hey Carlos, you're thinking of buying a PS4 for your birthday? Nice! Now I know this is going to sound blatantly obvious coming from me, but I suggest the COD: BO3 PS4 bundle for a few reasons:
- afaik it's impossible to purchase a PS4 by itself unless its refurbished. All major local and online retailers only sell the bundles for the most part as far as new units go and it's $350 so it's significantly cheaper than the $400+ limited edition.
- Aside from the BO3 bundle, I believe the only other options are the bundles that include either the Uncharted Collection or Star Wars Battlefront.
- You can play BO3 online with me and Tempered when we feel like blowing shit up. :)
- It's more fun, and therefore better, than Splatoon. I'll be pleasantly surprised if dippy doesn't ban me for this statement. :psyduck:
Also, what's a birthday without a gift? I'm feeling a little generous, so as a gift, I'd be happy to pitch in a small portion towards the cost of the PS4. Granted I said "a little" because if I could foot the entire cost, it wouldn't be an issue but alas. Would you say this is a more acceptable gift than....the one Dippy gave you on Christmas? :-X
-
https://twitter.com/Curbeh/status/701138022159351810 for carlos.
-
Not an unreasonable request.
-
.
:-X
-
Well with Matsuri being this weekend I wont be hosting. But me and dippy are going to be going to Kizumonogatari if anyone wants to join us.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/shoot_the_works/3004a2d2-4ff2-4607-b81c-70d34d86a1f2.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/shoot_the_works/media/3004a2d2-4ff2-4607-b81c-70d34d86a1f2.png.html)
Dippy might appreciate this. First night of the event, liquidated my stamina drink stockpile. Had to charge my phone halfway through, or I might've actually broke into 500 :bricks: Too bad it won't last.
-
Calm down you fiend.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLSYq_oHICs every time this guy updates with a video I get kind of hype. I really enjoy what hes planning so far and hope he can make the game he wants.
-
So going to host this weekend. Don't think anything is going on. Standard affair.
-
http://i.imgur.com/CklYU3Q.png
:)
See you guys this weekend hopefully.
-
Random japanese clothing? Are we going to see you show up in http://www.japonic.com/kimono-men/sengoku/yukata-sengokublue2.jpg ?
-
You say that like it's supposed to mean something. lol
-
You're wearing anime profile pics, close enough.
I'll pick up Tempered, and I vote dinner first.
-
lol no. Not even. It's just an image. Nothing more.
I'll be having dinner before I head over so no need to wait on me.
EDIT: Change of plans. Unavailable.
-
H-F, is this what you've been playing the whole time? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhGbjdsQxUs)
-
If this is COD 2016, then it looks better than I initially anticipated. I still prefer MBHDR though. :P
-
This was posted on Dustloop, but I haven't seen it posted here, so: https://www.facebook.com/events/485539468237783/
There's a monthly this weekend. Guilty Gear and BlazBlu's time spots have been swapped for some reason.
-
I remember. 4 months ago at the last event, Ryan and co. asked me if I was ok with an earlier start time for Guilty Gear. At the time I said I was ok with it because ultimately it's their event to run and it was for experimentation purposes. Granted I hope it wasn't entirely based off my response if it turns out to be an inconvenience for everyone else.
-
Well ill be hosting tomorrow like normal. Bring your popcorn for the movie cause I wont supply it unless I do!
-
You're hosting tomorrow, but isn't the monthly tomorrow? Then again, since the GG tourney is the earliest one, I wasn't exactly planning on staying the entire time so I guess it could work out.
Another movie night was planned? Funnily enough I bought Equilibrium for $5 when I went to go pick up my copy of The Division earlier this week. I remember people talking about it on this board a while back but I never actually watched it myself. So I guess I could bring that unless there's already a laundry list of titles that were already planned. And don't worry about the popcorn because I'll be bringing it as I normally do. :-X
-
I almost forgot to mention that I'll have my place to myself this weekend so I can host. If everyone's available we can do D&B's with T7 again. If not, maybe just meet up for dinner and head to my place afterwards for games.
-
Well I want to watch FR this weekend so id prefer not and issue is getting rides to and from so well have to see what other say.
-
Can do whatever.
Is Dippy at FR, or should I grind some VF to steal another match or two from him?
-
I don't recall him mentioning if he was going to FR, but I could be wrong.
Hell, I might boot up VF for a few minutes just to see if I remember how to do my throw combo.
-
So what are we doing this weekend boys? I think we should watch Equilibrium again. Or we could just play games.
Hosting but an hour earlier thanks to day light savings. Ill get out of work at 5:45 if Carlos plans to give me a ride.
-
Why do you feel the need to watch it again? Remember if you feel anything, you'll have to be executed. :psyduck: Otherwise games are alright with me.
-
H-F just wants executions.
Working early tomorrow; may or may not need to crash for a bit afterwards to survive the night. Should be able to pick you up, Tempered. If you don't get a text from me, I'm probably dead.
-
Sorry for posting this so late. Lost track of what day it was. :bricks:
Ill be hosting Tonight (Sat). Standard affair. From 6pm if Carlos wants to give me a ride, 8pm if not.
-
Probably at work until 6. Not sure if I'll make it tonight.
-
If something does go down, someone plz send me a text message. I wasn't sure if I'll make it tonight either, so I might just stay home.
-
I'll think I'll just make this easy and cancel for this weekend. Dippy said he was feeling sick. Let's plan for next week starting now GO! :prinny:
-
Okay. Someone pick the games. Or should it be more VF?
-
I thought you'd be sick of VF after the 155 matches we played last weekend. :-X At least it sounded that way. I wouldn't mind playing it again so long as I don't forget how to do my throw combo. I suppose if you'er looking for a wall combo, you can try this (https://youtu.be/mPZ3bmu9B6o?t=2m22s). Not that I know what the inputs are. :mystery:
-
My preferences for games right now would be Melty and DFCI though I guess I could hopekick around a bit in VF as well.
-
So apparently AH3LM won't be at AnimEvo. If you guys even think of giving me flak and how I should just forget about it and move onto DFCI, NPB, or whatever else is on that roster because of how oh so much better they are, then I suggest you tread carefully. If you go that route, you are NOT going to like me, probably more so than usual.
If you need a context for why I'm on tilt, let's just say I haven't slept in over 48 hours for reasons I'd rather not get into.
Edit: It doesn't help that whoever runs the AnimEvo twitter tried to blow us off with the reasons why it was omitted. "Us" being the AH3LM players. Even people who don't play AH3LM were surprised to see it missing.
Edit 2: Conflict resolved (?)
Edit 3: "Rare footage of H-F actually mad."
No. "Dedicated" would have been a far more accurate illustration. For the record, I could have approached it better at first, but I stand by everything I said. Trust me, if I were truly mad, everyone in the room would've been dead, starting with you. >:( All joking and shit talking aside, are you not the least bit disappointed that AP got cut? If that's the case, then you disgrace the game and its fanbase. Never mind what I or anyone else thinks about the game, it's irrelevant. For fuck's sake, Blade Arcus is on that roster. I understand that the above statement was made in jest, but you can't truly make light of someone who wants to make an event happen for something they've dedicated a lot of time to without looking foolish. And dedication is what I feel a lot of people out here lack considering anime fighters are a dime a dozen nowadays so I feel almost no need to develop any attachment to them. And imho they're really not all that special. But take that with a grain of salt obviously.
Edit 4: I've rambled on long enough. I should really try and get some sleep especially since it's Division server maintenance night. The twitter alerts on my phone were going crazy while I was driving home but I didn't check any of them due to obvious safety reasons.
-
Not sure if H-F's arguing with deleted posts or a Twitter war or something.
F/UC won't be there either :V
#animeilluminati #whensmahvel #sixstars20xx
-
If you knew all the details, then you might understand I'm not actually arguing with anything. But I won't bore anyone with the details. If it were deleted posts, then those who deleted them are trying to save face. Twitter war? Hardly. Long story short, it merely turned out to be a logistics issue. Edit 2 implies that AH3LM is happening and provided plan B doesn't fall through, I indirectly got elected to help run it. And while F/UC may not be there at the moment, it doesn't have to be that way.
-
Now that the weekend is here and touching base on last weekend's plans, if we're meeting up this weekend, are we doing VF? Or perhaps XrdR?
-
I've been guilting myself into giving Xrd another go since real GG is too hard to maintain a proper base or something. Just basing that off of people who play Xrd vs people who play AC/+R. But I'm going to want some time to fuck around with Jackie-O if they included a real training mode. Otherwise I'll play just about anything that isn't Aquapazza.
May or may not be conscious in time to pick up Tempered - assuming he doesn't get out early; will update if I am. If not, I guess we'll go with whatever start time Tempered's okay with.
-
I love +R and I'm not giving up on it especially since it'll be at AnimEvo. So at some point we'll re-visit the game. But I agree, due to numbers, it's harder to find players for it compared to Xrd. Tempered and I both have the Xrd-R- demo and it includes complete VS and training modes. So I can bring my PS4 if you need some time with a dedicated training mode setup and we'll probably use Tempered's PS4 for matches. The best part is that PS3 sticks are compatible with the demo without the extra hassle.
-
Gonna be hosting tomorrow. Same time.
-
Those low-cost kitchens tho.
-
Wut?
Hosting Saturday again if people interested.
-
I was going to mention I have my house to myself this weekend in case you guys wanted a break from hosting this this time around. I guess it depends on what everyone would like to do. Or I might just stay home this weekend.
-
Will do whatever; longass drive for me either way. Or take a break if nobody else can decide.
-
For me its going to be up to Dippy really. Its probably easier overall for me to host since there wont be issues with giving me a ride to and from. Otherwise its whatever people decide. I'm fine with a break as well.
-
I suppose we'll just wait for a response from Dippy.
-
Well since there's been no update i'm just gonna take a break for this weekend.
-
See you guys next weekend.
-
well my job decided to not make sense and decline my time off request for tomorrow so no ranbat for me again. Ill host afterwards though if people want to come over. Want to slap people with my Johnny or play some Melty Blood.
-
So there's a ranbat tomorrow? I know it was mentioned before but never knew if it was official. Is there a page with the start times?
-
Show up around 6pm if you want to enter notGG. Also, Dippy's running AH3 and poverty. When's Melty?
-
I'll try to be there no later than 5 hopefully. Tempered is out of work at 6:00 and XrdR is at 6:30. I suppose I can pick him up. AH3LM??? I certainly can't miss that. I'll be sure to put in my 5 minutes before heading over. :-X
-
Hosting tomorrow night like usual.
-
Probably won't be able to make it till 7-8.
-
I'll be there around roughly the same time. But I'll probably be having dinner before I head over.
-
Might be staying home this weekend.
-
Funny. I was thinking of taking a break this weekend as well. Work has been hell and just want to chill out.
-
Yeah work this week sucked for me too. lol I guess we can make full use of double XP this weekend. All the while IW's dislikes continue to increase.
-
Been feeling kinda sick lately so I might not be available this weekend.
-
well ill host if people want to come by. Just text me before you head over.
-
Such enthusiasm :V Does anyone want to play anything, or should I keep grinding in Granblue?
-
I'd like to play stuff, but I'm still feeling kinda sick. As such I'll probably just stay home to play it safe. I guess I'll just go back to beating people to death with my new baseball bat in BO3. :-X
-
Just in case people forgot, the monthly ranbat is this Saturday (https://www.facebook.com/events/846144508862993/). Come out as I'll be running Melty and GGAC+R and Aquapazza, everyone's favorite games!
-
I should be able to make it by 5-6. Run the good games last plz.
-
Exactly. Save the best for last.
-
Sorry about last weekend. Lost track of time. Ill be hosting again this satuday after the ranbats if ya'll want to come over.
-
Ayup, ranbat this Saturday (https://www.facebook.com/events/248200072237824/). Side games are N+B and MBCC.
-
When's the Overwatch ranbat?
I should be there around 6ish; have errands to run.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyXxNL4zILo
My (future) play of the game. :toot: Well, that's if/when I actually get it.
-
ill be hosting tomorrow. normal time for normal people.
-
Family obligations, so I'll be late; do dinner without me unless you want a midnight run to In 'n Out. Or Denny's ice cream :V
-
You know I'd take you up on that Denny's ice cream especially since it's summer and all. :-X

-
It's been a couple weeks. So I'm guessing there's a ranbat tomorrow?
-
Yeah.
-
NICE screenshot carlos. Also ill be hosting after the ranbat. Typical fare.
-
After the ranbat if time permits and people are willing, I'd like to try Koihime Enbu again with different characters. Grinding impractical fatal combos wasn't the most productive use of time last weekend. :-\ If not, that's fine. See you guys there.
-
Since SC2 was played last weekend, I suppose I'll give a little history about myself. If you must know, I played X, which may or may not come as a surprise. Soooo, take it for what it's worth. :-X I get the feeling I may have mentioned this before, or not.
It's July 4th weekend. If we're meeting up tomorrow, I don't mind bringing the food again if there are great deals like last year. Chances are the restaurants we'd normally go to might be really busy this weekend.
Apparently Ray would like to play AH3LM with us next time. And by "us", I mean everyone except me. Sadly I'm just not good enough. :-\
-
I'm going to be in town this weekend, so I may stop by as well if Tempered and Dippy are hosting. I won't play AH3, but I will play F/UC.
-
Sounds like they may need to get the defibrillator ready. If you need to ask, NO, I'm not (and never was) the F/UC champion out here despite what anyone else might tell you. Don't you still owe dippy matches in AquaPazza??? Be prepared for a rough night if those are the games you'll be playing. lololol
-
If dippy doesn't have any plans ill host.
-

I won't ask; I already know the answer. ;)
And no, I don't "owe" Dippy any matches in AP. I think I said I was willing to try the game once like a year or more ago, and he never took me up on the offer. No actual promises were made. That doesn't mean I'm now unwilling to try the game, but I can't guarantee I will play it for any longer than I played Nitro+.
-
It's very uncharacteristic of dippy to not take up someone on an offer for AP. That practically NEVER happens. Then again, that one night Carlos and I played 155 matches of VF, there wasn't even so much as a peep out of him. So...:mystery: I suppose while they're busy with you, Tempered and I will probably be busy with AH3LM and Koihime. I do remember that one night a couple years back you played twice as many AH3LM matches as BBCP, which was quite unexpected to say the least. But eh, I thought it was worth a mention. lol
As for dinner, assuming I run into some good sales at the grocery, I should pick up food for 5?
EDIT: Just got back from grocery shopping and it looks like the sales were as good as last year. So we're set.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnbsBjzIbRQ
-
Probably not going to the ranbat as it looks like not many people will be showing up. But I'll be available for games later tonight.
-
Ill host after the ranbats yeah. Guess ill put that around 9 which is when it usually ends.
-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4mlJebGgeg welp I think dizzy can get carlos over his distaste for Xrd
-
^I think that's Pot-only. Tried similar on Elphelt, but it didn't work. Also irrelevant outside of a blockstring because of some of the stuff I've worked out.
Maybe H-F can confirm, but it feels like there were changes to the RC system. If I RC before ice spike comes out mid-combo, I don't get the slowdown, just the super flash. If I RC as it hits, I get the slowdown. If this is a universal thing to RCs across the board, I'm okay with it.
Really liking the changes Dizzy got; new f.S hits crouching, new 2HS seems to be a good anti-air, 6HS floors airborne opponents. YRC fish is a thing. Might be stupid if Dizzy didn't want 50 meter to be silly. Anything not 2P/2K leads to 200+ damage + hard down + meaty, potentially reversal-safe oki.
6P c.S 5HS 2D ice spike RC high laser fish IAD jHS bubble (laser hits + pops bubble) 6HS fire spike (421HS, similar to AC lightning spike)
Can summon a fish after releasing the spike if they block it, or run up and throw. There's a weird thing where if they get up crouching, the spike barely whiffs if you release it right away, but hits if you hold it slightly.
-
ive been retweeting random shit you might want to check out for dizzy. looks shes gonna be pretty dumb.
-
Needed more cash, so I just finished Dizzy's combo challenges. Multiple 236H's into 236S was pretty fun.
Maybe H-F can confirm, but it feels like there were changes to the RC system. If I RC before ice spike comes out mid-combo, I don't get the slowdown, just the super flash. If I RC as it hits, I get the slowdown. If this is a universal thing to RCs across the board, I'm okay with it.
I tested this supposed RC change(?) and it appears to be true. I used f.S>5H>ice spike and RC'd it at different points. RC'ing the ice spike mid-combo but before impact didn't cause the RC slowdown but the opponent still gets launched and you can follow up. RC'ing the ice spike as it hit the opponent gave the slowdown while the opponent was mid-air.
-
Meant to ask you to test if you've noticed anything off with RCs with your characters. If you have any combos/setups that would be easily testable. If they're doing a system-wide change where you only get the slowdown if you're actively hitting the opponent, then good.
-
Oops, I misunderstood. So I tried 2D > CSE (RC) with Ky, and while this isn't something you would want to go for since it's a waste of meter, it would happen to me if I did CSE too early after knocking them down. So what happens in this situation, is that if I input the RC command for CSE while the opponent is standing up from the knockdown, the game is still giving me the slowdown despite the opponent not being in a valid state where they can take a hit.
-
So what are the differences between Dizzys Fire and Ice specials?
-
Fish:
ice = bites
fire = laser/shield + counter
Scythe:
ice = faster + single hit (possibly useless)
fire = slower + multi-hit (yrc crossup material)
Pillar:
ice = faster (combo staple)
fire = slower + multi-hit, maybe more untech time (frame trap type shit, combo filler/ender)
Homing spike:
ice = faster + single hit
fire = slower + multi-hit + can be charged for multiple spikes (yrc with charges = bullshit; canceling while one is being formed will release it while any others fully formed will be held and can be released later)
Not sure on differences between bubbles other than possibly trajectory/speed/hitbox. I find water easier to work with, but there might be some uses for fire that I haven't found.
-
Saw some complaints about Dizzy how her normals lose to characters like Ky and how you can't use a lot of her projectiles in blockstrings because of the startup time on them. If you want good, long pokes and simple projectiles, why not play Ky? :psyduck:
-
Yeah the scrub Dizzy's are learning that waifu love is hard work. Its quite enjoyable.
-
If they're complaining about Ky normals, then I wonder what they think about having to deal with characters like Faust, Johnny, and Elphelt(?). The latter 2 may have had their hurtboxes increased on their staple pokes, but they still have utility. Sounds like Xrd is their first game.
On a different note: 50% off a parry (https://youtu.be/ifXzU8VBKzg?t=18m43s)
Starting this weekend, my days off will be Fri, Sat, Tue since I'll be moving to a 10 hour schedule that kinda starts early. I suppose we should plan accordingly.
Also dippy, have you tallied the hotel room + gas expenses from Evo?
-
Since I know some of you don't check Line/Facebook, I thought I should mention that this is the last week to register early for Rewired (https://www.rewiredaz.com/) to save a little money, in case any of you were considering going.
On a different note: 50% off a parry (https://youtu.be/ifXzU8VBKzg?t=18m43s)
I saw this and assumed you were talking about Jam. I was very disappointed.
-
Jam? I wouldn't subject myself to the torture. The character in the video is exponentially less annoying. Besides, we actually glance at other games on occasion.
-
50% off a parry, but then he got electric'd and it balanced out.
@Tempered: rejoice, Deresute is bringing back limited idols from Sep-Apr. You can go broke trying to get Mika again :toot: Meanwhile, I'll be cutting myself over SSR Riina :emo: :emo: :emo:
-
Exactly! So it's perfectly fair and balanced. Now they just need to give me back auto parries and I'm set.
If by chance we're meeting up this weekend such as on Sat, it'd have to be earlier because I have work Sunday morning. Otherwise I'll be available tomorrow (Friday) night.
-
Yeah, I have the total from the trip. It was $90 per person for the room and $15 per person for gas, and you can either pay that either in cash or by Paypal or a death loli can come get it from you (but you probably don't want that... unless you do).
My work schedule recently changed but Friday and Saturday nights are still good (or as "good" as they have been in the past for me) so there aren't any changes there.
@Tempered: rejoice, Deresute is bringing back limited idols from Sep-Apr. You can go broke trying to get Mika again :toot: Meanwhile, I'll be cutting myself over SSR Riina :emo: :emo: :emo:
My rent moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
And when you live by the Scamco, you die by the Scamco. I'm half-surprised they didn't introduce re-colored versions of those SSRs to work around their fuck-up.
-
I'll probably stay home for the weekend. I have to get up early for work tomorrow morning and I think it would be best to use the next week to get acclimated to my new schedule. I'll have the payment ready the next time we meet up.
-
"Oh neat, limited SSR Minami with Overload and vocal as primary stat."
/do a couple pulls
>SSR Koume and Sae.
I guess I can't complain?
-
I think for the next couple weeks meeting up sometime Friday might work best.
-
guess ill schedule it from 6-12 for now unless people say something different. I do know HFs car is stuck in his garage atm tho.
-
My garage is fixed so I should be able to make it. Haven't played fighting games since Evo so I guess it'll probably be whatever people feel like playing tonight.
-
If people want to come over Friday is good again. 6-12 like before.
-
I might pass for tonight. But we'll see.
-
So im working 3pm - 12am this week, would people want to come over after I get off work that late or would normal time on Saturday be better?
-
For Carlos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFn7aqwoxTo
Was there ever any doubt???
Also, 3pm-12am? Ouch. It's one of those. I'm usually awake at midnight on Fridays, I just dunno if people would wanna meet up that late. lol Though I might pass with the Titanfall 2 pre-alpha tech test this weekend. :-X
-
HMS 3 has super armor??? I'm not complaining, but why would you do that? :psyduck: It's kind of depressing to see Acid Rain be Violet-only. Unless Violet is just a palette swap for Lee, in which case disregard this complaint.
Sat will probably be better for me since I'm sleeping nights atm. Sometimes.

After playing the Titanfall 2 alpha/beta/demo/whatever a bit... you're better off coming here and playing Arcana or some shit. It's right up there with SF5 in terms of the biggest disappointments of the generation so far. I don't like any any of the system changes and the maps and game modes they included in the test are absolutely dire. Honestly, I would rather play Blops 3 at this rate.

Violet is a skin for Lee, so you're good.
-
Pretty bold statement. I'll try it when it's finished downloading. If what you say is true, then it's good we're able to preview the game before release. I.W. is withholding pretty much everything related to its multiplayer. I really dislike their marketing strategy and it's definitely NOT working. BO3 for another year isn't a bad thing. It'll easily hold me over until the inevitable separate release of COD4R.
As for tomorrow, now that you mentioned Arcana, I might show up if people actually wanna play it. Otherwise I might just stay home and play BO3 since you also mentioned it. Still not quite in a FG mood atm. :-\
-
If people do come over tomorrow its gotta be early cause my schedule is 8:30-5:30 next week starting Sunday.
-
If people want to play games, I'm down. If not, I'm also down with not having to spend extra cash this weekend.
-
I'll be having dinner with family tonight. So let's shoot for next weekend?
After playing the Titanfall 2 tech test, it's definitely not the worst game I've played. Tempered and I played it last night and I had a little fun with it. But having little to no experience with the first game, I can't say too much for the changes. If anything the Hardpoint Domination game mode is horribly broken and the gunfire for the weapons just don't sound very distinct or satisfying. Double jumps don't seem to go very high either. Another little pet peeve of mine is when the characters don't hold their weapon by the foregrip if one is attached. I guess the things that I do like are how the AR and SMG have practically no recoil and just piloting a titan makes you feel like a badass. I tried sniping and it seems like it would be fun, but it feels like it takes the bullet FOREVER to reach its target.
-
There hasn't been any activity here (or anywhere, really)... anyone coming by tonight?
-
Not sure(?). Kinda busy with Deus Ex atm. I'm a little upset that they wouldn't let me start with the "I Never Asked for This" mode. Because I DID ask for this.
-
Can do tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
-
Assuming this isn't too late, I'd be willing to spare a few hours tonight. If it happens, just text me. Hopefully my headache is gone by then
EDIT: nvm
-
Master+ when? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6rk9C5r5KU) At least for the event songs that already have charts made. Will never understand why you would want to restrict content like that :bricks:
-
Ill be working all this weekend. Im up for a short session if people want to come by but it would probably be for like 4 hours.
-
So, apparently the ranbats at TGZ are starting up again next week (Sept 10th), and Guilty Gear is at 2 pm. There doesn't seem to be any event posted on Facebook yet, so I'll try to link the event here when it does eventually get posted.
The other games on Saturday are KI, KOF 14, and SF5.
The Facebook event page has been posted: https://www.facebook.com/events/585846424952556/
-
Master+ when? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6rk9C5r5KU) At least for the event songs that already have charts made. Will never understand why you would want to restrict content like that :bricks:
In most games, the highest difficulty content is generally played by a very small fraction of the playerbase -- I would hazard a guess that no more than 5-10% of the game's playerbase would play on Master+, as that is the trend with most music-rhythm games.
With that said, development staff at Bamco did confirm they are working to add Master+ charts for all of the songs Soon(tm) in the latest issue of Famistu (https://www.reddit.com/r/StarlightStage/comments/51yn68/cgss_feature_highlight_lets_look_at_whats/), so it's in the works.
....
On another note, I would say that we should get together and do stuff, but I think a bunch of you went to the ranbat and I didn't because a) I'm lazy and b) I don't play Xrd.
-
Designing GE2 and MH characters, actually. GG timeslot in the ranbats doesn't work for me.
-
On another note, I would say that we should get together and do stuff, but I think a bunch of you went to the ranbat and I didn't because a) I'm lazy and b) I don't play Xrd fighting games.
Today I was working OT which ended at 2 so heading over afterwards wouldn't have been the biggest issue but I had already agreed to help move stuff out of another house and as of this post I just got back within the last 5-10 minutes. At the moment I'm trying to work some OT while it's available before it stops getting offered. That and it all depends on what time slots are available as well.
I wouldn't mind meeting up again to do stuff but it seems our schedules don't quite line up very well. To my understanding Tempered doesn't exactly have set days off.
-
Well i'm pretty free this weekend if people want to come over. ill host from like 8-2~ish fri or sat so make a choice :bricks:
-
If anything goes down I'd lean towards Fri.
-
Earlier start is better for me because I'll have to leave around 12, but w/e works for you guys.
-
I know its kind of late saying this but if you guys want to head over at 6 or 7 instead thats fine then.
-
Probably be there sometime between 6 and 7.
-
Next ranbat Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/170448873362042/.
-
Lost track of time after my trip this weekend but I wanted to watch CEO mostly so probably for the better.
So whats the plan for this weekend boys. Movies? Anime? Food? Dumb Youtube videos? ACTUALLY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES?
-
Can do whatever today/tomorrow, but will be ducking out around 12 again.
-
Tempered has been idle/unresponsive for the past couple of days. Not sure what's happening. I have dinner plans tomorrow night so if anything goes down tonight, someone text me.
-
People posting things super last minute, as always.
Tempered's been around, unless you're saying you were texting him or something and he isn't responding.
This would probably be a lot easier if you guys would join the LINE group (even though that thing is responsible for killing the Dustloop thread... well, that and Dustloop itself). Or if you don't want to do that, I could create a Discord server or something.
-
Yeah, I actually was texting him. Along with sending messages over AIM, I haven't gotten any responses for the past several days. So pretty much since the last time we were on PSN. I know we've been told about LINE multiple times. But I'm perfectly fine with texting.
-
Well hosting got a bit harder. Well maybe. Maybe not. :mystery:
Just started a new job that'll have me working 2-8, tues-sat for the next 6 weeks so I wont be able to host after that unless we wants to start meeting up on another day.
-
Do peeps want to come over sat? maybe sun?
-
I'm working some OT tomorrow and I normally work on Sundays.
IW beta is COMPLETELY effed right now. Hell, we may not be able to play it until tomorrow at this rate.
EDIT: First impressions of IW Beta - JUST PLAY BO3.
COD4R is looking better with every passing moment. It just sucks that it's bundled with IW. We foresaw this coming. I'll probably try this beta again when I have a clear head. But so far it's been a joke.
-
Well I would like to get the meetups started again if people are interested. But it seems we have some scheduling issues. I'm willing to host any day of the week as long as someone picks me up after work on days I do work, it's less out of the way now. Just need to know what works for people. I guess the main problem is it seems like Carlos has to leave early but I'm looking to host late. But I don't know. Let's figure something out.
-
Well, there is a ranbat this week, if any of you are interested: https://www.facebook.com/events/1796373467317904/.
-
I can stay later Mon/Tue nights since that's my weekend.
-
I think Tuesday nights will probably be best then. iirc HF has Wed off and i'm fine with it since i have a later schedule anyways. Dippy works nights now as well and doesn't get off till 1am but its not like he plays games anyways. :bricks: :laffo: :nyoro:
-
I actually have Tue. off instead of Wed. So Mon. night could work but on Tue. I'd have to leave kinda early since I work on Wed. morning. I usually get out at 8 pm so I'd be arriving closer to 9.
Dippy works nights and gets out at 1 am? Kinda funny how all of our schedules have changed so drastically.
-
oh whoops. Monday then yeah. Everyone good with that?
-
Works for me.
-
So are we doing anything today?
-
Not tonight. Woke up feeling pretty awful for some reason. If I feel better a bit later ill post or text yall but for now no.
-
I was wondering about that myself. Keep us posted.
-
Anything today?
-
To not answer Carlos' question (only Tempered and Dippy can do that):
Final ranbat (which none of you will probably go to) is this Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/events/1790280734581059/
Today is the last day to register for Rewired (which I'm guessing none of you will go to either): https://www.rewiredaz.com/
Undefeated 2017 was also announced today and for some reason Melty Blood is a main game (not that I'm complaining): https://twitter.com/AZAngelic/status/793115155986911232
-
So ill be hosting this Monday. Any particular time constraints besides waiting for HF to get off work?
Also ill be looking to play MB mostly with maybe some BB if someone wants to suffer with me.
Regarding movies Carlos can bring w/e he wants or I have $15 credit on Vudu.com so we can watch something off that.
-
Due to the time change, I'll now be getting out from work at 9. So I'll be getting there between 9-10.
-
Oh, I have movies :laffo:
What time? And do I need to pick you up on the way?
-
Not tonight, im off tomorrow. Maybe not ever. Who knows. :mystery: Anyways id say around 10 would be best. Thats when HF says he will be able to make it. Probably be looking to kick people out around 3-4
-
ill be hosting tomorrow again. I work Mondays now and get off at 9. I dont get home till 10:30 unless someone can give me a ride. So ill say 11 start if no ride. 10 start if ride.
-
10 start if ride; does it take an hour to get to your place from work? ???
I can pick you up; send location.
-
No but hf can't make it until 10 anyways so yeah.
Address is 2005 w 14th St tempe az 85281
-
Anything today?
-
:mystery:
-
Ill be hosting tommorow. Same time, same place, same story.
-
Where to go for dinner?
-
Ill be hosting tonight like usual. Let me know if you guys want to come over.
-
I'm down
-
Sounds good to me. Should we get dinner?
-
Up to you guys. Limited late night options are limited. Im feeling in n out though.
-
People interested in coming over this week?
-
Maybe? I'll check back when I'm out from work.
-
Anyone going to the UAT thing, or just meeting up on Mon?
-
Not too sure about this upcoming Monday. Last I heard Tempered was out of town but didn't get word of when he'll be returning.
-
I am back in town but I still need to catch up on stuff from being out of town for 5 days.
-
Ill be hosting tomorrow after work if people want to come over.
-
Been feeling kinda sick the past couple days so I'm not sure if I'll make it. We'll see.
-
Welp. Hosting tomorrow as it'll be the last meetup with Carlos.
