Arizona Phoenix Valley - MBAACC - We paid for netplay.

[COD3player]

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. 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.

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!!!

[COD3player]

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.

[Tempered]

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?

[Dipstick]

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)

[COD3player]

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.

[Ryd]

Friday works.

[COD3player]

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.

[Dipstick]

Friday, like usual. Anyone bothering to show up?

[COD3player]

Possibly.

[Ryd]

I'll be there after Lindsey Stirling's performance.

My Advanced Warfare player card:

[COD3player]

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. 

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.

[Dipstick]

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.

[COD3player]

^ 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? :|

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.

[Tempered]

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 .

[Ryd]

All you missed was Tempered trying to do UNIB combos.  It worked out about as well as it sounds.

[Dipstick]

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?

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.

[Orrax]

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

[Ryd]

I work Th/F/Sat this week.  Can make it after 9 though. 

[Tempered]

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.

[COD3player]

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?

[Ryd]

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.

[Dipstick]

OK so I'll be doing stuff for Friday, and I already texted H-F about Thursday.
