To rep the new scene name for AZ

Oh, and by the way.. I think Red Arcreid as Rena is awesome.  Fits very well.  Satoko Mech Hisui is really just the color I pick in-game.  For the picture, anything goes.  I've also been thinking about Claire from Claymore for Mech Hisui, but the personalities don't fit.  But meh, that doesn't really matter too much... especially since Jaxx and I agreed that Nero should cosplay Nabeshin with the afro.

It looks like there's some real kung fu heroes over there in California.

EDIT: Not to put us down or anything, but I was surprised that we didn't crack the top ten.

I'm eager to hear how things went, but I don't want to clutter up the new thread- maybe we should keep the old one for discussion? I'm not sure what's OK to talk about on this one quite yet.

EDITII: I like what they did with the team tournaments, and judging from the Jaxx vs. sp00ky vid, the gap between you guys and the tournament winners looks like it can be negotiated with a bit of work. Grats!

A lot of good people showed up for WT4!  So while I am sad AZ didn't crack into top 8, I feel we did very well.  Choco lost in winners to sp00ky and lost in losers to Arlieth.  Jaxx lost to Psylocke in winners and lost to sp00ky in losers.  Shashin lost to Leo in winners and to Zaido in losers.  I lost to Scott in winners and Choco took me out in losers.  There is no shame in being defeated by these players!  And for the most part, no one was absolutely slaughtered : p  Good games, my friend.

Of course, I'm not making excuses or anything.  While I feel we did well, it's true we could have done better!  We were outplayed by the Top 8, but we ain't down for the count : p  AZ gon come back and return it TENFOLD - y'all see

Ah, don't worry.. I'm just half-trolling :p  I remember a random chick rockin' it with Tekken at GameWorks and I personally know a girl that can play Smash competitively.

I'm sure chicks that are good at fighting games exist.  They're just so few and far in-between.  To be good at a fighting game, you gotta dedicate hours of training mode time to get your combos down perfect.  While lots of dudes can find enjoyment out of that sort of grind, I can hardly imagine a girl doing it.  Because it's not fun.  Guys are more able to do repetitive things than girls are.  Okay, I made that up.  But meh!  It sounds right >: |

And shoot, you'd probably beat me!  I still need a lot of work with MB ; ;

Good to see Dan/Rad Orks again!  Been too long, bro.  Always sexy to see Aoko/Baiken in cosplay in action.  Pleasure meeting up with Graven, who didn't let me take a match with Sion : p  And Quinn/Q Chu's Guilty Gear friend is a cool dude.  Play more MB, man!

----

Man, I feel real good about how I played tonight.  Using the effing WHIFF CANCELS made me less predictable.  And throwing and air throwing more is good.  I mentioned it at Choco's and I'll say it again.. playing Psylocke on netplay was educational.  The dude must have thrown me like 8 times a round.  That's when I understood I should probably throw people more often (and not be scared of being thrown myself).

Still need to work on blocking.  But it's good to see I'm making progress in other areas.  Landed Sion's whip super bnb plenty of times.  ALMOST landed her wall super bnb.  (cut me some slack, the combo doesn't work in ReACT)  Landed Mech Hisui's top damage bnb with whip super probably about 80% of the time.  And my Kouma doesn't get slaughtered by Shashin's Len anymore!  Woohoo!  Wish some of those casuals were recorded, man!

AND I was rocking with Heita in BBB.  SUPPAAAA MODO~

I'm currently considering AZ not heading anywhere until after ver.B2 is released. Currently, we're playing a crappy version that is slow and unbalanced in comparison. I propose we play only semi-seriously until the end of July. One and a half months, dudes! We're almost there!

When it comes to Melty Meetings, I'm considering just chilling out more, watching a movie here in there, animu, playing Fantavision for more STARMINES, teaching people how to play mahjong, etc.

Dan / RatOrcs, I want to talk to you this Friday about getting a house. That possibility intrigued me greatly and I believe you would be an excellent roommate to have. House = Awesome amount of space for Melty Meetings, too! If possible, I want this to happen in the next couple of months.

Ahhh, so it's version B2. Go go fighting game counting syndrome!  ;D

Violent looking stuff on the youtube. I get the impression that 50% combos will be more commonplace in this version. I'm all for that, nothing makes me happier than watching giant chunks of life disappear under the onslaught of a dynamic combo

On an unrelated note, I think it might be a good idea if we all start collaborating to bring snacks or drinks or something -- I heard some people asking Choco for drinks and such, and honestly I think it's a little unfair that we stick him with the mess AND take his food/drink.  I think just plain sodas/chips would be fine, and I'm more than happy to front for sodas, so everyone feel free to make suggestions as to what all I might wanna bring =P

I've had the same thought, man.  Back at Team Win's a year ago... I'd restock their fridge every once in awhile.  You know this - especially since you did it before I did.  Actually, you restocked their fridge a lot more often, too.  But then again, you were more of a regular than I was.  We were both thankful enough for the dudes at that house letting us chill at their place... so we felt it was only natural that we help.

And of course, Dan feels the same way regarding Choco's place since he's already helped with drinks many, many times.  And when you and I went to Circle K last night, that's why I picked up the 12-pack.  I know I've taken a few sodas from the fridge the past months, so I felt it was my duty to restock.  But then you had to look cool and pay for the 12-pack... sheesh.  Look what having a JOB makes people do : p  Can't wait to start work in a few weeks... and I'm absolutely serious.

It may be my place, but I still feel bad about telling people to take off their shoes, or asking nagging questions when you guys want to look something up on one of my computers, etc. Demanding snacks, drinks, etc. feels very excessive, but it would definitely be something welcome. I even bump the AC down to 72-74 for you guys. It's usually set to 78-80 to conserve power, so... yeah, people contributing would make Choco a happy and spoiled guy D:

I'm hungry, but lunch is an hour away. I have fortune cookies, but I hate them. Perhaps I could barter them for other forms of food? Must investigate.

Speaking of food, where should we eat tomorrow? Mongolian BBQ? Pizza? Something different?

So, except for popping into work for an hour on Friday morning to push through an order for a customer and set his stuff up, I had a three day weekend. Honestly, it was disappointing not having more people present when I had so much time off. Regardless, next time you guys come over, you'll see some big change!

1. Litter box area is now cleaned up and old open air box has been replaced with a nifty covered box.
2. 20" TV set up in cat room on small wooden table with two chair set up opposite to it.
3. All bagged up bottles in cat room have been taken to recycling.
4. Old receiver was taken to Goodwill and G3 Mac was put into a closet.
5. Small wooden stand in the back room has been moved to living room right next to other small wooden stand.
6. Cat room desk and 27" TV on it have been moved into the bedroom.
7. Dresser and computer desk changed their position in the bedroom.

These changes give us a lot more game playing room! It's pretty sweet. I think I might even take pictures when I get home.

I've got the house to myself until the 14th, so I celebrated by watching movies all day on Sunday.

Watched Godfather I and II, then Apocalypse Now, then Predator. Apocalypse Now was kind of boring.

I'll be getting Ikiru and Seven Samurai in on Thursday- if all goes according to plan, I'll be back in social mode by Friday.

What's up? :D
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 03, 2007, 09:59:37 AM
For the record... Seven Samurai is a FUCKING GREAT MOVIE

I thought it'd be totally overrated, but I enjoy it greatly. Amazing it's just an old black and white movie.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 03, 2007, 10:48:53 AM
Ikiru was one of those movies in which I was bored to tears while watching it, but I liked it when it was all over.

Thanks to everyone who came over and played this weekend. Lots of fun games ;3

Good games.  Let's get a ranking battle next weekend : p

lol make sure you put up the matches with you today as well....another race to 10 that I win(insert evil laugh here) :V
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 09, 2007, 02:10:43 AM
Play me when I'm sober, Jaxx :P I have a psuedo-hangover right now. We'll record good matches this weekend.

And speaking of this weekend... serious question to all of you. .

I'm thinking of moving our Melty meeting to Saturday instead of Friday, maybe starting a little earlier than usual on Saturday. Thoughts? Mainly, I want to rest up and get some good sleep on Fridayand see how it works out.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 09, 2007, 02:53:44 AM
I prefer Friday by far. Saturday is generally my "go out and do something or hang with friends" night. Especially during the school year, and I've got college in a little over a month from now.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 09, 2007, 05:08:09 AM
I prefer Friday, honestly, but I cannot sustain a full time work schedule that has me sleep right after I finish working. It leaves me dead tired at work which isn't good. I usually get 2-3 hours of sleep before Friday meetings. I may need to start the meetings later at this rate.

Also, who took my PSX converter this time? D: Bernard?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: milesokeefe July 09, 2007, 08:50:22 AM
I had problems getting sleep back when I worked graveyards. Drinking used to help me get to sleep, but lately all it does is guarantee that I suffer insomnia as soon as the alcohol wears off about 2-4 hours after I drop off.

Have you tried chamomile tea about an hour before you go to bed? It didn't really help me get to sleep so much, but it really helped me stay asleep once I got there.

I wouldn't mind a later starting time on Fridays. Life sucks when you don't get enough sleep.

We'd better have a ranbat. Glide had better show up, along with vmoney and Jaxx. Where's TooTall at? Let's invite him over! :D
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 09, 2007, 10:53:41 PM
I'm down for a ranbat if everyone from the usual crew is there.

I'd have incentive to practice in these next few days.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 11, 2007, 03:05:03 AM
Also Choco, I need an estimate for how much bunking with you guys at EVO world is going to cost me, if I go. I'm going to be extremely short on cash, which means if the room is reserved for 4 nights or so, I can't go. School also starts that week, and unless it's in my immediate budget, I probably can't/won't go.

I'll also offer to bring my car, which is very, very roomy, easy to drive, and has good mileage.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 11, 2007, 04:39:18 AM
I'm planning on reserving the room for TWO nights. That would be the night of the 24th, and the night of the 25th.The total price will be $350 or so, I believe. Split between six people, that will be about 60 bucks, not including parking (grrr). I posted on SRK in the AZ thread if any other people wanted to join us, so the price might go down if we get anyone else..
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 11, 2007, 05:14:07 AM
$60 is very good, especially considering I don't think I'll be entering any tournaments if I go ($40 and possibility of no Accent Core = :emo:). Gas would be about $80 round trip in my car, divided by 3 or 4 people....
+cash for food
+random cash for "homebrew" tournaments and money matches

I think this may be do-able! I'd have to miss two days of school, though.  :psyduck:
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 11, 2007, 05:18:20 AM
One thing to save everyone money, and I'm putting the link in the first post of the thread as well:

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 11, 2007, 05:27:06 AM
Wait, do you have to register even if you aren't competing in tournaments?  :psyduck:
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 11, 2007, 05:47:43 AM
Yeah, it's like a convention, or "venue" in this case. They have to fund the accommodations somehow, and tournament money comes from entries and more.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu July 11, 2007, 06:49:51 AM
Well, I guess it softens the blow of the tournament entry fee, but adds on a bit more... I'll start seeing what I can do.

How's the house situation coming along?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 11, 2007, 07:17:55 AM
Dan and I have found a potential place about a mile, mile and a half from my current place (house is in Mesa), but we think we should look at one more place (in southern Scottsdale) at least and see which is better. The crazy thing is that the place we looked at actually has four bedrooms. I was thinking of trying to get Glide to move in with us and pick up a GoDaddy.com job for extra monies. That would thrust rent down below 300 for everyone, not including utilities and stuff.

Dan, I'll send you a PM, but we might want to check that other place out, say... tomorrow. Today is too short notice as I'll need to prepare for the sleeping schedule change. Want to get here right after work and we'll check the place out?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: milesokeefe July 11, 2007, 09:46:41 AM
It's got an enormous yard. You could fit another house its size in it!

Sharing a house four ways will definitely save everyone involved a good bit of money, but it also increases the chances of one of us being an insufferable, thoughtless ass, or an eater of other people's food, or a slob, etc.

It's hard to imagine what with the massive common areas and all that there could be a problem with cabin fever, but you'd be amazed how those big spaces can shrink when you're sharing them with people who don't exactly share your goals. Of course, folks can always take a walk around our giant ass yard if things get too close.

Evo World is looking iffy to me.  I dunno much about GoDaddy, but I seriously don't think they'll be gracious enough to allow me 3-4 days off when I 've just been hired.  Also, Vince and company are going to Anime Vegas and to his family reunion the next weekend (sept 1st-3rd), and I'm thinking I might just go to that since GoDaddy will be more likely to grant that weekend off (Labor Day weekend).

We'll see.

07/13/07 Ranbat Placement *EDIT* - Standings updated because I suck at brackets!

1st: Choco (Arcueid, Satsuki)
2nd: Jaxx (Nero)
3rd: Q-Chu (Warachia, Red Arcueid)
4th/5th: Shashin (Len)
5th: Glide (Vermillion Akiha)
7th: Mailorder (Mech Hisui)
7th: Wakkatana (Hisui&Kohaku)
9th: RatOrcs (Aoko)
9th: Bernard (Warachia)

Shashin isn't ranked a definite 4th or 5th for the following reasons: He has just as many wins and losses as Glide if you include his first round bye. I cannot rank him under Glide because he beat Glide in the loser's bracket.

Thanks to ALL who participated, and to all who came to my apartment at all! Good games, everyone. By the way, we should probably choose what the point system for these ranbats should be.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: milesokeefe July 14, 2007, 10:48:04 AM
Special thx to Shashin for practicing w/me for like three hours yesterday. It was very helpful- it never occurred to me that 623A could hit crouching opponents! A technique that will become even more viable w/421 orb support, I'm sure.

I'm eager to see what tricks you developed while playing Mailorder, too. ;)

Thanks as always for hosting, choco! Man, I can't wait to move. I'll have nearly ten more hours' worth free time a week once my commute shrinks from 60 miles round trip to 6-8. That's damn exciting. :D

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Mailorder July 14, 2007, 12:14:53 PM
Wait... how did I place above Wakkatana?  He's the one who sent me to Loser's.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 14, 2007, 01:11:09 PM
Thanks for pointing that out, Mailorder. Shouldn't have posted the results while so freaking tired. Updated according to wins and losses and where people got knocked out..

Thanks to ALL who participated, and to all who came to my apartment at all! Good games, everyone. By the way, we should probably choose what the point system for these ranbats should be.

Due to the rock/paper/scissors nature of some of our matchups, I think the round robin point system we used a while ago was pretty good. It might take a while with more people, though.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 14, 2007, 04:27:42 PM
We'll probably do that next time if we can get moved into the house fast enough. I hate doing tournaments at my place, honestly. So small, people are always busy playing something else, people are always dodging in front of TVs and milling around and there's never enough spectator space. The house is going to solve so many problems.

Yea good matches all over, a little fustration overload for me however.  Moves weren't coming off right, sheilding wasn't working(I'm still trying to figure out how taping d= holding d...), hell even throws wernt working  :mystery:

I will say this, it kinda reminded me of some of the japaneese matches I've watched when me and choco played.  The matches were LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.  Good times though, b2 bitches, where everyone is fixed.

I kinda felt like arly after he lost to leo in wt4, we had similar problems during the match(if you watch, the a's comming out that aren't wiff cancels)

Next Friday? The 27th? That's version B night, ohh yeah. We might meet at the house then, too. Dan and I submitted our applications yesterday, and considering the income between us and how much I've been paying for my one bedroom apartment, there should be no problem accepting us.

: Mailorder July 17, 2007, 10:30:05 PM
Lately, I've been going to Vince and Jaxx's place after work.  Bernard's usually there, too.  And I've been playing Melty Blood with them.  And I just got home from a session today, and I've definitely leveled up.  I'm finally doing IAD b-jetpack crossover mixup after lightsaber knockdown.  And I'm doing more jetpacks.  I'm gonna get cocky and say I'm definitely 50/50 to Jaxx now.  I know his stick was acting up a bit, but my stick wasn't being 100% responsive either... which brings me to another point.

After today's session, I need to consider buying a second stick.  Maybe it's just me, but my stick has been feeling different.  Maybe it's getting worn down, or maybe today was just a weird day.  Either way, I was dropping my bnb right after the EX whip too many times.  And I was missing TK jetpacks more often than I wanted.  But of course, these are just technical errors... I ought to grind some time in training anyway.  Either way, I've still leveled up - since I actually have an okizeme game now : p

: Mailorder July 24, 2007, 12:01:36 PM
Don't worry, it's just your quirk : p

When people lose:

Jaxx: complains about controls and/or moves not coming out
Vmoney: Mentions MB is not is his main game, GG is better
Choco: cusses, complains about controls and/or moves not coming out
Q-Chu: Stoneface
Rat Orks: Normal
Joe: Normal
Glide: Emo-mode
Mailorder: Make a dying sound effect OR Stoneface

YOU: "You're just too good I can't beat you"

which is a very awkward contrast from how you act when you win.  I already mentioned it before, but like I said, It's NP : p  everyone's got their quirks or one-liners when they lose.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco July 24, 2007, 01:03:45 PM
What? Preposterous! I never lose! I'm inviiiincible!

In all honesty, there have been two reasons for me to complain that my moves aren't coming out.
1. I admit it's my fault and curse at myself.
2. I whine about my IADs not coming out due to my stick.

NUMBER TWO IS OVER. I just got my Sanwa buttons installed, and I haven't missed an IAD yet. It's so. Freaking. Awesome.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Synthesis July 24, 2007, 07:49:09 PM
What? What do I do when I win? :P

and, I got cocky against you and was yelling at you for not blocking because

1)I need to stop doing certain things
2)It was supposed to be a blockstring, and I don't know how to react if you get hit by my 22B as my 214C is coming out
3)It overall just throws me off if you don't do what I expect on something so simple (like q-chu mashing on wakeup against choco because he expected choco to keep the combo going, but instead dropped it.)

I think I just need to actually react faster. Just as Glide doesn't necessarily react, I don't either, I simply guess, but if I guess wrong, then I will try and make up for my mistake as easily as I can (Jumping on wakeup against Glide. He EX Heiro'd and I EX Shielded instead of hitting C because I saw him disappear.)

Actually, I think I'm a relatively good sport when it comes to losing/winning, if it is a relatively decent match.Bernard, you are amazing at keeping Len from jumping at you, and such.

I'll try and be more like I am around people I don't know when I win/lose. Maybe that will make me feel better about my attitude.

Mal: I can help you some with warachia, and your not, Joe's sister usually comes too(my god I don't even know her name and I see her all the time.....)

Calymos: you may want to get with Joe(I'll show you him when you get there) about Kohaku.  Also choco is a good resource for learning just the basics of the game, however you'll here a lot of  :blah:...ie bullshit coming from his mouth as well...

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: milesokeefe August 08, 2007, 09:10:38 AM
Ska's OK. I can't play it.

The sorts of music I truly can't stand are sugary pop and big band music. Also, protracted periods of country/honky tonk.

I can tolerate rap and punk just about indefinitely, but neither form really stirs my emotions. :|
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Q Chu August 08, 2007, 12:28:22 PM
I've never been much of a fan of ska, but that's because I haven't really heard much of it at all, and it was a long time ago. If you could give or direct me towards some good ska, that'd be great. I'd like to see the best the genre has to offer, since I'm open to just about everything as far as music goes. Playing it, though, sounds like a ton of fun (I'm a bassist).
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Mailorder August 08, 2007, 05:45:38 PM
I'm actually getting serious about starting a band.  I've been writing in a little notepad file with lyrics and singing tunes in my head, but it always turns into a ska tune.  probably because ska music is easy and uncomplicated.  I want to experiment around.  I managed to convince the drummer of a local band that fell apart to join me, so now I'm trying to assemble all the other instruments.

I've got a request for EVERYONE.  Please save ALL of your matches where someone gets perfected.  Or if not perfect, a match where you or the other player did REALLY well.  Doesn't matter if it's you or someone else.  Just do it so you can learn exactly what was done right, and what was done wrong.  Don't let your pride interfere, guys.  Save those replays.

ALSO save replays of those "zomg wtf" moments.  stuff like double KOs.  or I got this replay of Nero's arc drive vs. Mech Hisui's ex crossbow.  good stuff.

I'm also asking this because I think we should make an Arizona Exhibition video.  Let's show off all of our players, at their greatest moments.

----

btw, character list on 1st post needs to be edited.  I've quit Sion.  don't list any alts for me.  and Choco playing Kohaku?  plz............

note to self:
- when someone blocks maid rush in the air, use b-whip to catch them on landing (or use an air unblockable.. ?)
- experiment w/ ex lightening OR ex optic blast as tech punish
- experiment w/ ex bomb ... throw / air throw them!
- air throw people who recover in air after air combo ending w/ jetpack

What I really, REALLY want to see is a 3D modelled 2D Guilty Gear release as well animated as Battle Fantasia. Eddie's attacks would be unspeakably awesome. Baiken would have the boob jigglies she dearly deserves. :3 How awesome it'd be! It's just a good idea that needs to happen.

I think it would also be a good idea to have regular practice sessions Wednesday night in addition to the regularly scheduled Friday and Saturday night sessions. I'd like Friday nights to be mostly MB, Saturday nights to be mostly GG, and Wednesday nights be a night for general practice, MB and GG.

I plan on extending the first general GG invite on SRK sometime this week. I'd like the first practice date to occur the first Saturday after EVO (9/1, I believe) , and hold subsequent sessions every Saturday thereafter.

I'm fine with 1-3 guests arriving for whatever during the remaining 4 of 7 nights a week not officially devoted to these practice sessions. Watch movies, play shmups, practice more fighting games, doesn't matter... just as long as Brian and I are able to get our sleep. :D

Quinn, which Chili Peppers songs do you already know?  So far, I'm thinking Otherside is our best bet.  We can easily practice the opening part with just you and I, since it's just the bass and singer.  Although I still like The Zephyr song.  I like Aeroplane, but like you said... it's tough.  If you can learn it, I'll learn it, too.

Give me a complete list of every song you can already play on bass.  I'll get lyrics for them so we can do it just for fun.

Dan, join us!  At Applebee's, we were going over bands we liked, influences, covers, music genres we may cover... but it kept going back to: we need a guitarist.  Don't be shy, let's just have fun!  Just to start, lemme know what songs you already know.  I'll learn 'em and sing to your guitar : )

I'm tellin you guys, I've got a real passion here.  I just want to sing.  Whether it's country, hip hop, classic rock, pop.. I'll do it.  Of course, I do have my favourites out there.  But I'll have the most fun if I'm sharing the stage with my pals.  LETS DO IT

------

On a Melty Blood note, I encourage everyone to watch more Japanese videos.  At Noon yesterday, I could not sleep.  So I watched Japanese Mech-HISUI videos and practiced in training and survival until I got sleepy at 3:00.  I feel like those three hours were extremely productive - I managed to go almost 50/50 to Choco later in the evening.  Not only did I work on my standard bnb, but my aerial bnb off random hits and counter hits.  And I learned more mix-ups.

And I learned to be more patient.  It's like I forgot the advice I learned from past WTs.  Block better.  You may have your bnb down perfect, but if you suck at blocking - you'll lose.  This is especially the case for non-rushdown characters... like Mech-HISUI =.=

------

To Jaxx: Choco's down for some gaming.  Call him sometime today.  He's off work at 7:00.  What times are you availible?  We both assume you're working late-night, so you're probably gonna be over for the evening?  Brian says the drive to Vegas starts at 2:00AM.

And of course, I will also be there all day.  I expect to get a few games with you - I'm feeling incredibly confident.

I spent a few hours getting used to Guilty Gear's default controls yesterday. I also tried to collect some Sol BnB combos, but the Sol forum on dustloop's a bit of a mess. It looks like it's all about random hits to Volcanic Viper to 214k knockdown, gunflame FRC okizeme antics, setting up sidewinder loops and learning how to consistently score every hit of Sol's Grand Viper for untechable post launch 2HS to sidewinder loop.

I wanna practice some Melties tonight!

Can we have another Ranking Battle scheduled?  I understand that everyone's got weird work schedules now, but let's spread the matches over two days or something.. so everyone is able to get their games in.

While nobody outside of AZ cares about Arizona rankings, it'll help Arizona.  Seeing a date for any sort of tournament will motivate everyone to practice more.  In fact, the last tournament... Joe beat me because he actually practiced.  I remember Quinn and Ted had epic semi-finals matches, too.  Because they actually practiced.  I got knocked out early in that tournament.  Because I DIDN'T practice.  Come on guys, let's bring the hype back.

Brian, hurry up and recover from that Evo burnout.  And that retarded pus-filled infection >: |

I don't suppose I could trouble you for a shopping list? Fresh bay leaves and coconut milk are a given I imagine, but should I get curry powder, or paste? Do we want a chicken curry, or a vegetarian one? If vegetarian, should it have tofu in it? And which vegetables? What sort of peppers?

I think I have a bag of jasmine rice on hand. I'll check it again when I get home from work.

Curry list :V
Overbuying a little is kinda-sorta necessary, as curry has to be adjusted while cooking so it tastse right for everyone. I'm going to make a lot, so make sure you guys leave room in your stomaches. Also, we don't have to use all of the stuff I'm going to list here if you guys are picky.

3lbs Chicken Breast
2 onions
1 garlic clove(Powder is a cheap substitute. I refuse to accept that. :|)
3-4 carrots
5 potatoes
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 apple
1 bar of chocolate(Or some Hershey Kisses...not much chocolate is needed.)
1 stalk of celery

The bay leaves and coconut milk are things I've never tried using before, but we can go with them. Also, make sure you have ample amounts of rice - jasmine and white both work. Two packets of the S&B brand of curry mix should be fine. It'll probably take half an hour to fourty minutes to get all of this done. Any suggestions/input are welcome.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: milesokeefe September 25, 2007, 08:12:04 PM
How exciting: I've never heard of chocolate in a curry, while you've never heard of bay leaves and coconut milk! I'll be sure to get every item on that list.

Chocolate! Reminds me of mole. Half-ass on the subject, I've heard of peanut butter in curry, but every time I've tried to incorporate the stuff into my curries the peanut butter overwhelms every other flavor.

When would you prefer to cook- Friday dinner, or Saturday brunch/lunch? I'd like to invite my brother over for the experience so he can meet everyone, and also enjoy someone else's cooking. He's used to cooking for other people, see. Ask him about pot stickers :D
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Lokanas September 26, 2007, 01:12:21 PM
Peanut butter is supposed to be used in very, very small amounts when you put it in curry :x Just barely enough to give a hint of the flavor.

As for when the stuff will be cooked, whichever is more convenient for you is fine. Though curry for breakfast is a little odd. D:

: Mailorder September 29, 2007, 06:08:25 AM
good games.

vs. Q-chu : 8 wins, 35-40 losses
insane, dude.  we used to be equal, but you leveled up for sure.  I lost so much for the same reason I lose a ton to Choco: I suck at watching my opponent when I'm getting up.  my reflexes were slow on adjusting to whether you were gonna do the semi-charged overhead or the low for oki.  then when I was actively thinking about blocking high for the semi-charged overhead, my stupid self forgot about the low that came next.

I already know that if the hits connect, you take it to air combo.  if not, you chain into your ground blood rings which seems safe on block.  (I'll address this later)  if you have the meter, you burn it on ex blood rings right after... and the chip damage doesn't look worth it.  I didn't question you on it at the time because you were winning, and I didn't want to look like a sore loser or something.  after I block all the blood rings, you'll do a jump in.  if I jump as well, I'm air-thrown.  if I don't, I'm back in the same block string. 

in later matches, you would start doing variations like a double jump... you started doing that after I started ex-shielding a bit.  that's good.  I'm sure you noticed that I also started using shield bunker more.  I was testing around for places in your blockstring to use it.. it seemed like if I shield bunker'd the first blood ring on block, we'd trade hits.  either way, I'll test around and see if there's an obvious place to shield bunker the same old blockstring you use.  I was mostly frustrated because you were using the same blockstring over and over and I wasn't having much luck in finding openings.  If I lose horribly, I want it to be because your blockstring mix-up was so intense that my eyes couldn't keep up.  not because you're using the same one over and over, and I'm getting randomly hit because I'm trying to find gaps.  I'm sort of obsessed about this sort of thing, because it almost reminds me of GNT.  I wrote a guide that's on gamefaqs about interrupting block strings with back+B, and shield bunker for MB is sort of the equivalent.  either way, I'll take this to training mode.

vs. Lokanas: 5 wins, 16 losses
told ya I was gonna get my bnb back together, man!  you beat me soundly, but I can feel satisfied knowing it wasn't because of me struggling with re-adjusting to MB w/out netplay delay on top of other crappy delay settings for MBAC PC on my laptop.  you are an excellent Ciel player, and you need to stay in AZ! 

you're telling me that I'm predictable.  that may be so.  but I'd love it if it's possible for you to go into more detail.  when you critiqued Ted's Aoko and showed him holes in his game by actually punishing him in that hole, that was educational.  I'm sure I have plenty of bad habits that you're probably exploiting to get combos off me.  feel free to share!

as for the times I landed combos off you, I recall it was usually from a CH jetpack or a 2b (low extendo hand push).  I remember the 2b hits the most, because you noted that I improved, because I wasn't spamming jetpacks as much anymore.  spamming jetpacks is where I get my CH combos, so I didn't understand what you meant at first.  then I did some thinking and I remembered your fast dash, and realized that you were probably starting most combos on me from dashing in and hitting me in TK jetpack startup.  with that knowledge, I mixed up my game.  I spammed my jetpacks whenever at a distance, but I'd purposely shoot a risky jetpack closer to you in order to bait you to dash in... in which my 2b is ready to intercept.

I'd love to analyze the gaps in your blockstrings when I'm cornered and you're up in my face, but I need to play Ciel a tiny bit more to understand her options.  as of now, I'm only using mind games when I'm playing a successful keepaway game.  when I'm under heavy pressure, I'm going by gut to shield bunker/ex-shield/counter-poke you.  and that is bad.  going by my gut is barely better than random guessing.  course, if you want to share your fav. block string options, I'm all ears : )

vs. Jaxx: 7-8 wins, 4-5 losses
tellin' ya man, I upped my game!  I realized that 70% of the time you're comboing me, it's because I was in the air.  you caught me inputting my aerial backdash.  interrupted my crossbow.  HUUUAAAA'd my face for jetpacking too close.  and a classic, locking me in aerial blockstun and doing an air-unblockable normal into combo since you land before I do.  I found that I often caught myself in these situations because I was mashing whilst being combo'd and air recovered out... and back into another combo. 

How did I solve this problem?  don't be in the air.  I've tightened up my execution on TK jetpacks, so you'll see fewer random jumps (sign of a failed TK jetpack).  I'm cutting down on the random crossbows (that urge is hard to kill!).  I definitely won't challenge you in the air; although I am curious if my j.B could slap ya out the skies if I'm under you.

and I just blocked better. Nero doesn't really have high/low mixup, so why was I panicking before?  the setups with the animals aren't that hard to block, either. The only mixup I found threatening was when you jumped in with j.B and went for a throw or 2b.  sometimes I screw up on blocking jump-in j.Bs and start crouching too soon.  if I block it right, I gotta keep focused and see if you're walking towards me for the throw.

anyway, I look forward to more matches : p  I'm gonna step it up, man!

-----

Here's something fun I tried today.  I made a few attempts to land an air unblockable normal (5b)-> combo whenever someone air recovered from a non-CH jetpack.  everytime I tried it on Quinn, I got hit.  his j.B (double red orbiting slashes) probably has enough range and priority to beat my 5b.  I remember landing it twice on Will.  maybe Ciel's air normals just don't have the range and priority vs. Mech-HISUI?  don't remember for Jaxx.  I've been slammed by Nero's j.B and j.C too many times to remember.

in short, I need to use 2c instead.

we're always at Choco + milesokeefe's place (they're roommates) on fridays and saturdays.  friday is more melty night and usually hosted by choco, saturday for GG hosted by milesokeefe.

but these days, it's been more like... fri + sat : play whatever you feel like.  maybe that's just me, though.

I don't think anyone's going to WT8, but if someone is planning on it... probably just Choco.

I was going to come yesterday since I thought Will was coming, but I called Choco and I think he said he had to go to work or something. I couldn't hear him since I was on a shitty cellphone in Golfland, he probably hates talking on the phone with me  :blah:

GEE GEEZ MOTHA FUCKAS. Had a lot of fun this week...Need to get some HxC Arcana learning in now (You can keep Fiona, Grey Van, I'm sticking with Kamui. >:l) Hope we can get a lot more Melty than what happened this time on Friday, though. That was a little bit of a downer, as fun as AH is.

So I've got some damage output with Yoriko now and am now working on getting the pentagram motion down.

AH is strangely addictive. It's like a slower paced, less frustrating (execution wise) form of Guilty Gear

ShinMasaki - I think Tetsuya-san lives in Flagstaff, and IIRC he's interested in MB and other fighting games. He occasionally makes pilgrimages to the Valley. I don't know for sure if he has an account on these forums, but I'm positive that he does on shoryuken.com.

He sometimes posts in the AZ thread on SRK:

Watching Q-Chu and choco race to ten was tense. It was looking like Q-Chu'd get there first for a while- I was worried about the apocalyptic noise that would ensue. I heard that Q was out of practice! Maybe he'd just forgotten to eat his Wheaties.

Speaking of you, Q, I can't add you to my Team Fortress 2 friend's list for some reason. I've tried Q-Chu and Q-chu, no dice. It might be easier if you add me to yours, mine's howmuchkeefe.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I will be in Phoenix during Thanksgiving weekend so I wanted to hit you guys up for some MB action and anything else you guys might be down for, maybe GG and AH. Since WT8 is happening that same weekend and I won't be able to attend, I figured that I'd join you guys so that my Melty skills aren't idle. Hopefully ride issues won't plague me this time around.

All of us having been playing other stuff.  Like a burst-fire mode, all of us played Arcana Heart for a few weeks.  Then it died. Choco's been doing Halo 3 and some WoW.  I've been playing TF2.  Q-Chu's doing WoW and some TF2.  I got the feeling that only Lokanas is still playing MB, since his PC sucks and it's all he can run.  And some RPGs, I guess.  I see him playing Tales of the Abyss quite a bit.

So it's semi-dead, but Choco and Lokanas will still give you a run for your money.  And hopefully you'll destroy me bad enough to get pissed and start practicing again.

The scene is taking a break. Many people have given up on MB because of various reasons. I will be practicing after work from now on because I still have hype for Melty still (NEC, YO! AND ACTRESS AGAIN, FUCK YEAH). So yeah, you won't be Melty-free if you want to hang out at the Melty Haüs.

Alright. I've got mad hype here. I'm going to be importing Actress Again and will probably be installing into a supergun cabinet for portability (Evo, West Toast, etc). I will take MONEY DONATIONS to help pay for the cabinet. I do not think I will charge for play in general, but I would love for people to be generous in their donations as I will be shouldering the cost for the machine. Dipstick may help out as well when he gets moved. Regardless, I want you guys to get hype again. I want you guys to learn basic shit like landing canceling, when to backdash, when to tech, block on wakeup, etc. Let's go back to the basics. Afterall, I'm going to have to start over myself when I start playing Actress Again. We'll have a cabinet, so we'll be able to have an edge over the competition. Who's down?

I'll try to be more assertive about asking people to play instead of waiting around for them to ask me. It's just that if I see someone busy doing something, I don't want to interrupt them

Hey Choco if AI doesn't end up getting AA, which is definitely a possibility given how long it took to get GG^C, I will pitch in for the cab and drive over just to get some matches in.  Also on irc you said something about it being an easily transportable one, so even more reason to pitch in.

IMPORTANT

In order to get hype for Melty Blood in Arizona, I'm starting a ranking list.  It's incredibly difficult to get everyone in one place on a specific date for a ranking battle, so here's what we're gonna do instead.  To move up on the list, you must challenge a higher ranked player for first to five wins... and win it.  If you win, you take that player's spot on the rankings and the defending loser drops down one rank.  If you lose, the rankings remain unchanged.  Here's the current rankings - I've assembled it based on how I currently rank us.  If you don't like it - challenge whoever you think you're better than and earn your rightful spot.

ARIZONA MELTY RANKINGS

1. Choco
2. Q-Chu
3. Jaxx
4. Lokanas
5. Glide
6. Mailorder
7. Shashin
8. Milesokeefe

Additional rules and notes:
- You can only challenge the same person once per day.
- If you don't challenge anyone within a month, you will be moved to the bottom.
- You may switch characters during the challenge.
- Don't turn down a challenge.  Respect the person challenging you and give them all you got.
- Don't be a dick and challenge someone who's obviously not in the mood/on a losing streak, or needs to be somewhere ten minutes ago.
- I'll update as often as I can.
- Rules are not set in stone, I'm open for all opinions and/or suggestions.

Get hype, guys.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick December 27, 2007, 11:19:43 AM
Yeah yeah yeah the lolis are going in the boxes; give me a few days.

Choco: I think you should do what Fubarduck did when he was trying to qualify for Arcana Heart last year. Front the money at release, take payments and donations from whoever, try to qualify, and regardless of what happens with the qualifier sell the kit in the summer (by then there will probably be news of a home port, at the very least) and take that money to go to Japan. However, fubar did take money from people who traveled down to play AH at his place back then, and I think it would be a reasonable request to request :bux: from people who didn't initially buy in on a per-day basis (or they can buy-in and then get a cut of the proceeds when the machine is sold).

Honestly, I don't see a MB:AA qualifier happening in the US (for various reasons) but that's neither here nor there, and you have a few months to figure everything out.

Mailorder: I think a better implementation of your idea would be to just have all of the battles at a local tournament, and just run a ladder side-event. You start with the bottom two people -- if the lower ranked player wins, they swap. Then you move up to the next pairing and keep going until you reach the top. If someone is not there, they 'automatically' lose their one match and the other player just moves on. New players get inserted at the bottom. It's a nice system as someone on a bad day will not lose much but someone that gets hot can make moves.

It's something we used to do locally for SC2 back in the day and it worked well imo.

Definitely something that I'll keep in mind.  And hopefully it's something that Choco will find interesting, since he's running Melty Blood at Phoenix Comic Con.  I'm still gonna do the random challenge ranking thing, though.  Everyone's schedule is so screwed.  Milesokeefe and Q-Chu work 1st shift.  Choco and Glide work 2nd shift.  I work 3rd shift.  Q-Chu, Lokanas and Shashin are in school.  So yeah.  It's tough to get everyone to show up for an event, even if it's gonna be a side thing.  That's why I wanna try this challenge ranking thing.  I think it'll work.

Pretty sure it was 5 - 3 with Ted.  Of course, he matched me to 5 - 5 either way, but it was first to five and he was at 3.

pressure, man!  it's pressure.  Ted keeps me blocking and throws in overheads that I fail to read.  honestly, it's where I'm lacking as well.  I don't have pressure.  once I lay down the block strings, I gotta toss in my fuzzy guard setups and b-whip.  so yep.

After what the people from Texas did to all of you a couple of weeks ago, personal rankings is the last thing I would be worried about.

As for why I'm not down there, somehow I decided it was a good idea to become an insomniac. So now I get about 2 hours of sleep a night, if that. Ugh.

yawn...the len player was excellent.  Both were pretty good.  Well the len player handed me my ass pretty thoroughly(bad match up), the akiha player was good too, I matched him pretty well.  Only problem was I had played 15 matches in a row before i played him, my hands died.  Personally rankings don't really matter, its about what you can do when the money is on the line.  I gotta find weaknesses in bad match ups, thats my problem.

there was no surprise that multi and xianoir rocked everyone except choco.  no one in AZ is 50/50 to choco and it's because there's not enough hype to motivate people to practice enough to do so.  the whole point of the rankings is to create hype.  I personally think I'm better than Jaxx, so when I beat him and rank higher, it'll motivate him to practice more to retake his rank.  in effect, I'll practice more.  and the cycle continues.  and we'll match choco and then finally improve the skill of the AZMB scene.

and if you end up beating me, I guarantee that I will practice more.  look forward to playin ya ; )

Personally rankings don't really matter, its about what you can do when the money is on the line.

agreed.  rankings are for hype.

I'm of the "whatever works" school of philosophy.

Mailorder's plan is keeping him motivated, and I'm not sure if it's responsible for Shashin's sudden uptick in motivation, but Shashin's Aoko has improved dramatically these past two weeks.

I got motivated for some uknown reason, and just kept going. My increase in competence comes from Zar personally helping me in IRC. That, and watching videos. I'm learnin' all the time! =D

New block strings learned, and setups. Showed them to Dan. Hope to threaten you all with some more Aoko goodness.

good games this weekend... I saw John's Miyako going 50/50 to Shashin's Aoko before I left for work?   shoot, I need to play him before he goes back to Alaska.

Yeah, I -was- going 50/50 with Ted until he started punishing my dodge roll and changing his blockstrings. DAMN IT TED.

AOKO IS TOO GOOD! D=

umm.. thanks for the ovations but jaxx, you only won 1 single match out of like 9 or 10 before we quit.  You also only played 10 matches before you played me, I kept a mental log of the matches we had in AZ. 

Also, adding that the len matchup is bad is a little cheeky considering I mentioned it before you and Xian played and you emphasized how you've "NEVER had ANY problem with ANY Len player", and when i asked you about bell you were like "he's awright."

I guess Jaxx is being called out.  unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with Multi.  and I've already indirectly done so earlier:

there was no surprise that multi and xianoir rocked everyone except choco.  no one in AZ is 50/50 to choco

The issue at hand is that Dipstick called out all of AZ (except Choco) for being slaughtered by Multi and Xianoir, when there is no shame to losing to them.  They are exceptional players - and they're being grossly underestimated.  this is where Jaxx should have just been like... "well, they were good!  ten bux says they woulda owned u harder lol"

I'm glad they stopped by.  they killed me hard, but it got me back into MB.  gave me faith in improving my game.  hate to say it, but sometimes Choco isn't the most fun to have a losing streak to (I still love him, though).  The Texans had a good attitude.  they analyzed what I was doing wrong and they'd change their playstyle to help me clean up my obvious errors - without any of the condescending talk.  and they're asian.

Wow, I can't believe how arrogant you are.  We were literally just toying with you, but you really think you can beat me FT10 so much that you'd put 50 dollars on it because you took 1 match out of like 10?  That's so ridiculous, please understand how weak you are.  I don't take melty seriously enough that I'd bother wasting my money to travel to a tourney to play (*edit* correction, waste money AGAIN, to TRY to go to a non major nationwide tourney.  I am hopefully going to attend EVO world *end edit*), and the only reason I'd ever go back to AZ is for a social visit and not for melty.  The only reason I took the trouble to travel to AZ over christmas is because I didn't want to spend time with my family the entire time, and I thought we were going to WT9, and I was interested in the prospect of playing psylocke in person with the addition of playing some casuals with other players, plus it's Cali.  If by some happenstance we're in the same place at the same time, a 50 dollar money match would be fine to me, unless you make some vast improvements by that time, you're literally just handing me free money.

I wasn't trying to insult you or anything in my previous post, so if you're trying to make this challenge to salvage some of your pride, you should just take a lesson from your fellow AZ players, and be a good sport.  They seemed to understand the concept of casuals and didn't make excuses or exaggerations about their losses on the forum.  Humility is something you could use a little bit of, rather than using lame excuses like you were tired from a handful of matches, or that your stick MUST be broken.  I don't understand this whole concept of money matches as challenges of pride in the first place, if it's a matter of pride, i rather make the opponent do something humiliating rather than shell out a bit of cash :V  Seriously, if you don't respect me now, you won't respect me if you lost to me again either, and that's all that really matters.

first and formost I gave you ur respect.  I said you were a good player and I got beat, the problem is you took a shot at me at your last little bit of posting, and I felt that was disrespectful.  I'm not arrogant at all, and furthermore, I still got respect for your game.  But I don't take kind to that shit.  I was being a good sport, I told the truth its not like I lied, and like I said before I can beat you...PERIOD.  But I did lose to you, because my skills weren't up to par at that moment.  Whenever you decide to get at me, get at me.  We don't even gotta put money up, or do aything stupid, we play and thats the end of it, then go out and get some drinks or somthing.

Don't get it all fucked up and twisted saying I don't respect you cuz I respect everybody(even there gaming skills, can't sleep on anyone) but, the one thing I can't stand, or tolerate is after you give someone props, they take it and throw it in your face.  What type of fucking bullshit is that, I don't know if thats how you do it where you at, but thats some fucked up shit.  You took a shot at me, and I told how I felt about it, you got a fucking problem with it come see me nigga.

This could be a whole misunderstanding, we could both be seeing this shit wrong, if it is I apologize for stiring the pot.  Yall mofo's were cool, and I don't want friendships and connections broken because of this.

considering that you picked up MB recently and don't really play it that often, you're good!!  keep playing, I hope to play ya again at Choco's sometime ^^  and yeah, don't be afraid to wake me up.  I'm not a grouchy person when I wake up.

Who in AZ is confirmed on going?  What's the driving arrangement?  Megabus Y/N?  What day are we leaving and coming back?  What time?  Estimated amount of cash to bring?

--------

Another note.  Anyone wanna come to downtown Phoenix at 6pm?  I'm going for the artwalk.  there's gonna be street vendors selling indie/artsy stuff and I just want to get some walking exercise in general.  I'm pulling Jo with me for sure - we're gonna shop.  Hopefully Chris will make it as well.

From what I can tell, Choco and my brother will be driving us down there. Dunno if Dippy's going to drive as well, but yes, we still need to iron out details...oh yeah, Jaxx, I'm in need of partners for the team matches. Perhaps you're free?   :V

where's this art walk thing, im a huge fucking nut for art in general where do you find details on that?

And if you guys are getting a megabus or something for WTX, and got room for me i would think about going. My permanent residence, like where my family lives is only an hour away from FFA (family fun arcade) and i went to WT9 cause i was back home over winter vacation and i would gladly go JUST for hanging out, and massive amounts of marvel 2.

Jaxx, you need to come over whenever you can so we can grind out dozens of games. I get home at 12:30 AM every night usually. Hit my up on my cell and let's get ready (when you're not working)
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Jaxx, what are your work hours?  I'd also like to play more games with you.  I have a few block strings I want to try on you - block strings that pretty much only work on Nero.

ok I'll be there early, helping registar, playing games and setting up the smash tourney.

I work from 1030 pm to 630 am, david, and choco, the only days I consistantly have off is Friday.  Thurday and Friday of next week is grind time(I know kinda late, but its the only time I have off), I do have sat and sun off for the toast this week.  I also have sunday off this week do to someone working for me.

Jaxx, I think my IIDX controller and the DVD Box set for Infernal Affairs is still at your place.  If you find it, can you bring it to Choco's and leave it there?  I doubt Vincent took it with him to Texas.  And if he did... then I guess I need to message him.

Choco, both Ryan and Mr. Sackett (QA guy) from work are interested in stopping by sometime.  I think they're gonna call you at some point.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco February 13, 2008, 12:37:21 PM
Remember, it's West Toast this weekend, so I won't be around the Melty Haus. I talked to Sackett on the way up to work yesterday, so I know he's interested. Said he could still swing by and hang out with everyone else, however.

Choco, great job on taking 3rd at WTX!!! I watched your singles matches, and I can't believe you came SO close to beating Kijea. Good stuff, my friend. But I'm disappointed in you for losing the money match against Arly. What happened?? Letting a SoCal player walk tough like that. :P J/k, just givin' you a hard time. By the way, I want to come by sometime soon for some MB, and I remember you saying at Devastation that it's not always just Friday anymore. When are you guys planning on getting together next? Practice is good. :D
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco February 22, 2008, 06:42:38 AM

I think it does.. ?  Check the Valley Metro website, bro : p

And there's a dude in Peoria who has the cabinet for the game - if you're close to him, maybe you can get a few games in with him... then we'll have a west vs. east AZ rivalry ; )

I'm not removing Quinn because he hasn't quit MB.  he's quitting MB sort of like how Sam did.  you just get pissed at the game for a bit and then you come back to it with loving arms.  shoot, I did the same thing just a few months back.  and he'll definitely be back when actress again comes out.  BET IT

Don't anyone be surprised if I quit, basically :P

Just remember to work out the full two weeks : p  You'll never know what may happen and it's good to always keep GoDaddy there as a backup.

Man, makes me wanna quit GoDaddy and go back to school.  I'm almost out of debt as well.  Although there's a few more stuff I'd like to buy for myself - like a better car.

There weren't many people who stopped by this week! Duppy, you left before I could play you :|
You clowns were all HAY LET'S DO EVERYTHING BUT PLAY MB and I was tired; sue me.

Hopefully that shit doesn't happen... right now.

I will most likely be there this friday because I don't work. Choco, I will also be bringing you bux, but I know you won't be there, so I've no idea how to present it to you. =/

You guys are not allowed to stop me from playing MB. I want to practice so damn hard, it's not even funny. Don't even let me take a break. I'm not kidding. If I stop playing even for a second, I'll not want to play again for a while. Don't let that happen

Also, tell me what I'm doing wrong. Will was especially helpful at letting me know what I was doing wrong, and I was slowly starting to catch on to his bullshit. It's bueno.

Dan, you'll be playing as well. I demand it. We need to have a plethora of Aoko players, and since you're not playing nearly as much as you used to, I believe that the possibility of this happening is going down. =/ It makes me sad because you were the first Aoko player and now it feels sort of like a chore to get you to play. I know you're still interested because you watch all the time when I'm playing with Will. You don't seem to do that when, say, Dave and Will play. Play more. I will help you with whatever I can. >_> I'm not that good, but I can still be of service. ^_^

Also, Will. Bitch-slap me if I use any character other than Aoko. No kidding. Well........ maybe not any character but Aoko, but any character other than Aoko or Len...... on second thought........ yes, bitch slap me if I use any character but Aoko. It seems to be a general consensus that my Aoko is much better than my Len, which I find slightly odd (I do much better against Dave with Len than I do with Aoko)

Anyways, this was a long post and I do hope that you guys follow through in helping me, and I intend on beat Dan to a pulp if he refuses to be helped. =D I know Will won't have a problem aiding in my demise, eh?

Alright, I've arranged to take the time off to attend WT XII.

I think I've got room in my car for 2 passengers. Jaxx, do you still need someone to carpool with?

I might have room for 3 if everyone packs lightly.

choco - What hotel are you guys staying at? I imagine I need to reserve a room ASAP.

shashin - Now that I've committed to going to WTXII, I pretty much have to lvl up my Aoko! I'd like not to make a fool of myself if I can help it.

oh man, Dan's going to WT?  makes me wanna go just to chill with him.

I think I lose to more to len than aoko because I still don't know how/when to get out of her blockstrings.  for aoko, I just watch for the overheads.  ted is obvious with jump-ins which makes for easy ex-shield.  but Len's got that j.2C which I believe beats ex-shield , unless I'm retarded and didn't know I can do something to beat that.

and even then, I still can't land my standing ex-shield CH combo.  so while I can insult Ted for being predictable, I'm a worse player for not being able to close a gap in my play that Ted is exploiting.  and all I have to do is practice.  but I'm lazy, so that's about it.  I have no shame admitting that Ted is a better player.

I won't be there this friday.  aftercon pool party... and work.  I can always stop by on saturday/sunday/monday, but it's pretty dead on those days.  but as long as Sam's there, then cool - gotta get that brawl training down : /

Guys,  I'm taking Sunday and Monday off from work. That means I will be free for 5 consecutive days. While I am not happy with outside people making Melty Haüs their home for half of the week (grr), I will be open for sessioning with people during this time. I will put my two weeks notice in on Thursday, which will make me even more free. Dave, Jaxx and Ted, I hope to see you guys show up for some practice.

Believe it or not, I've been playing a tiny bit of MB on netplay.  I've bumped into random players in Hungary from myanimelist.net that play.  I'm a notch better than them, so it's refreshing to win.  Which is why I'm playing a little bit.

If I show up this week, don't expect me to be fully evolved - just expect that I haven't regressed.  I think.

Sorry for not showing up this Friday. Stuff occured, I ended up covering a shift for my friend Justin because his Grandmother just passed and he needs to do legal stuff with the courts and all that jazz because she was the only adult in his house. He was catching up on school work (he was out for two weeks)

I worked early Saturday morning as well, so I didn't show up. =/

I won't be there this weekend either because I have to study for my SATs on Friday and I take them Saturday morning. I might make a showing tonight, though. What time would be good? I dunno what would be okay, but I do have school tomorrow, so I won't be over too late. I need practice.

and the 17th? That's a tough one.... I don't know if I'll have any money to go.

Dan and his GG people will be traveling in different cars. Friday and Sunday nights, we will be staying with bellreisa. On Saturday night, we have a reservation for a Holiday Inn Express.

Honestly though, I think I'm going to be full-up on my car... but there will probably be more people in AZ that are going. IIRC there's also a contingent from the GG scene in AZ heading up there.

More details: I've been told that on top of myself, Choco, Lokanas, and Jaxx are going to Evo. Given that my Maxima is not the biggest people mover in the world, the maximum number of people in the car is four to five.

I dunno. Things weren't the same after dat EVO, really.

It's baffling. AZ did well that EVO!

I strongly suspect that Q-Chu was chased away by condescension and loudness.

Glide was lost to Brawl and economic flakiness.

Glide apparently took Jaxx with him.

Shashin got too busy w/school and work -though I'm sure he'd insist that he's still super gung ho about Melty Blood if you asked him  :V 

mailorder.... I think that the poor health of the scene encouraged him to concentrate on TF2.

lokanas in conjunction with my inability to adapt to the nuances of MBs command interpreter (u want to enter heat mode? LOL ENJOY NOT HEAT MODE INSTEAD) broke my spirit

lokanas has few people of his level to play against.

choco has few people of his level to play against.

dippy has few people of his nanayaness to play against.

Tempered has few people of any level to play against.

Ryd' (loke's bro) has been spending some time with it, but w/o regular opponents, how long can his interest last?

Actress Again is AZ's best hope for a revival.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Mari would be riding in my car or with her sister (because her circumstances r gunna be GHEY obv), but she isn't 100% confirmed on going yet. I'm not counting on it since her sister is not a reliable person.

We played Melty last weekend. Was ballin'. I actually really enjoyed it.

I want to play even more HnK, though.

Tempered! Your Sion has gotten tons better! You're not retarded and attempting to poke out of my frame traps as often anymore. XD I need to learn more mixup now though. You're getting the hang of it. Maybe KD into 214A IAD j.B whiff will start working... Hmm... Possibilities. What are you guys doing Friday night? Mind if I come over for some Melty action? :)
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered January 20, 2009, 08:50:19 PM
I dont think anyone would mind. I wont be home till like 10:30pm though, so you might not even get to play any melty  :slowpoke:

So what the heck are plans here for going to Bell's? My one issue with going is that I would have to work Sunday, but it sounds like you guys were leaving early Sunday anyway. So if I could leave early Sunday (and I mean fucking early, like 6-7 AM early), then I could probably make it work.

Worst case, I could just drive myself there and then head back whenever (and Tempered said he wanted to come back with me since he has work early Monday).

So the plan now seems to be that Choco is going to take Lokanas, and I am taking Tempered. We are both leaving around 1 PM for bell's. Tempered is going to come back with me Sunday morning, and Choco and Lokanas are leaving Sunday evening.

If I got anything wrong, someone needs to post objections.

I duno if there are people here that don't look at dustloop, but I'll post this here anyways.

We're having a BB/GG/MB tournament in Tucson at AIAB on oct 10th (saturday.)  It would be neat to get some good numbers for MB as well as the other games.  Plus I really haven't had a chance to play anyone at MB yet, so I wanna see what that's like :P

Tournament starts at 2ish, entry fee is 5$, BB is 10$, GG is FREE! and MB is 5$.
GG and MB won't be starting until later, possibly around the time that BB is finishing or sooner.

I'm unsure of tournament rules for MB, so I hope someone can enlighten me soon :)

Hope to see everyone there!
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered October 02, 2009, 01:41:03 PM
General rule for MB so far are

Best of 3 rounds.
Player 1 picks stage. (if there are any disputes call them faggots and random)
Archtype is banned.
Winner cannot change characters BUT CAN change moon style.
Original balance
Default game options (with handicap turned off usually)

Other rules general to all fighting games like no pauseing, etc. also apply
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: milesokeefe October 06, 2009, 06:49:03 PM

Dark Geese apparently wants to hold a big Vegas tourney for various fighters, and a buddy of mine who's helping me build a melty scene convinced him to include MBAA.  I don't have a date because everything's not solidified yet, but if turnout is big to this, we might have a huge jump-start to local melty interest.  I'll be posting in the tourney board and again in a few regional threads whenever we get a date, so that hopefully Cali, AZ, and any other people nearby will be able to make it.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick November 01, 2009, 08:53:44 PM
Fun fact: Dark Geese actually played in MBAC at NEC7 and NEC8!

Good shit to Tempered and Choco for having an impromptu session tonight. Choco's Kouma seems much more refined, and Tempered is still getting gayer with Satsuki -- but of course, I play characters that negate to some degree their oki. Derp.

In genral, there's something missing here, but I have no idea what. It feels like AZ is going to fall behind the curve unless... I dunno. It's not a question of if people can step up -- all of the principle players have done so in the past. It's just a question of if it actually happens.

Free food and drinks! (Yes, even for Tempered). It'll be at least In-n-Out quality. I won't be such a douche that it'll go into session time; I'll have everyone back at Choco's before 6.

Pretty much all Phoenix. You should look up arcade in a box in Tuscon though, they have a FG community down there, dont know how hype they are for melty blood.

And yeah we will be hosting saturday HF.

I just remembered that the holiday party for where I work is this Saturday. I'll be showing up, but I'll be gone for about a 4-6 hour block, and I'll be in formal dress attire. x_x

Maybe I should just do what Veteru did and show up to Evo in a suit.

I'm sorry ;_; I wanted to take a nap only, but I turned on two fans and put in earplugs since I was exhausted and didn't want to hear as much CLACKING and SHOUTING... and I woke up at 5:50 AM when everyone had left. I wouldn't have been much of a match for anyone since I didn't plan to play Kouma, though. Gotta session with Tempered to get this down.

Dunno why I was so exhausted yesterday. I had a sudden unexplainable headache that felt like an explosion in the back of my head, and I was done for for the rest of the day.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player December 18, 2009, 11:03:41 AM

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco December 18, 2009, 06:14:18 PM
I'd like to do that! I'll bring my macbook with the webcam down and get ustream setup for people. You can also use the camcorder / tripod setup if you'd like. I have a cord I need to find before I can find out if I can stream on the camcorder.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

GGs once again. It was a lot of fun, I got to play a variety of characters (and other games), and you all probably hate H-Ries now (if you hadn't already). :-\

I'll probably see you guys again Tuesday and hopefully then we'll stream matches.

@Tempered: I still owe you $3-$4.

Yup. I'm officially back in the desert. Stream next weekend? We can't let SoCal be the only ones streaming out here, right? :V

I'm not sure if I can attend tonight. bell said he was hosting next weekend for AZ. Do any of you guys mind tagging me along? If so, next Friday I'm off from work at 5 pm (assuming I need to be there that long) so let me know if that's a problem or not.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick January 09, 2010, 11:31:18 AM
HF I was planning leaving for bell's next weekend after work (and I get off around 2 PM), but I can wait a couple of hours (and I think I could take Tempered then too... maybe).

I just have to leave late Sunday afternoon as I have work early Monday morning. Choco should be leaving later (as he does not have work until Monday afternoon), if that's your thing. lol planning!
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player January 09, 2010, 11:53:53 AM
Ah ok. I'll be at work until 5 PM on Fri. since that's my schedule so it could work out. Now that I think of it, Monday is the holiday? I work for a company that manufactures classroom tools and I'm in student support. So we might have that day off since school is not in session and we shouldn't be receiving support calls; the equipment only works in classrooms and the students shouldn't be using them otherwise. But I'll have to check. I wouldn't mind leaving late Sunday afternoon though. I'll try to get everything straightened out on my end asap.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered January 13, 2010, 07:57:11 PM
So whats the plan? I Can leave pretty much anytime on Friday.

: COD3player January 14, 2010, 11:12:14 AM
Can I still get in on this? The details in my last post still stand. Still not sure if we have Monday off, but regardless, I'm ok with heading back late Sunday afternoon. But what are the arrangements (time to leave, where to meetup, etc.)?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick January 14, 2010, 01:28:40 PM
Here's what I'm thinking:

HF heads over to Choco's after work; I'll get there and pick up HF and Tempered and the three of us roll out to bell's. We leave Sunday afternoon-ish because I have work early Monday morning. How Choco and Lokanas figure into this, I have no goddamn idea.

You assclowns would owe me for gas and that's pretty much it. I hope you like lolidunking!
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered January 14, 2010, 03:45:15 PM
Looks like choco cant go so youll have to pick up lokanas after picking me and HF up.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player January 15, 2010, 08:26:12 AM
I'll head to Choco's right after I get off work. Hopefully I don't get any phone calls a few minutes before my shift is supposed to end. :-\

: Ryd February 13, 2010, 12:59:51 PM
Tempered said on DL that he wasn't hosting this weekend, Dan is still "recovering" from the last few months of nonstop hosting.  Not word from Choco, but I'm guessing Tempered was speaking on his behalf when he said everyone was too lazy to host.

I guess PM me your address and I'll see if it's not too far from where I am. If it isn't, I'll try to stealth my way out of my house late tonight. It would be REALLY late though, like close to midnight. :|

In the meantime, I think we should discuss travel plans for AM6. If I get laid off before then, I should have no problem. If not, then I'm calling in sick on Friday. People at work have been getting colds lately so it wouldn't be a surprise if I called in sick because of one. But let's just hope I don't actually catch one before then. :V

If I remember correctly, people are having a session at Choco's tonight? My hours at work changed a bit (I only have to start at 7 AM now lololol) so I can stay a bit later now. When are people arriving?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd February 16, 2010, 01:37:32 PM
I'll probably head over after I get out of class, so should arrive around 7:30pm or so.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player February 17, 2010, 10:47:55 AM
Ok so we REALLY need to finalize travel arrangements and who is riding with who. I can easily call in sick on Friday no problem. So here's what we've got so far, Dippy is leaving tomorrow night (Thursday), Choco is leaving on Friday (late morning/early afternoon?). We need to confirm who's bringing what equipment too. To my knowledge, Dippy and Choco are each bringing a setup (tv+ps2) each, and I can bring mine as well since my tv's pretty small. Going to bell's isn't so much an issue, but we should determine ahead of time who's riding with who on the way back?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered February 17, 2010, 03:47:22 PM
Ill probably ride with choco to and from am6 unless dippy wants my company :/
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco February 17, 2010, 05:18:21 PM
Ill probably ride with choco to and from am6 unless dippy wants my company :/

Duppy would do best taking as many people with him as possible since I'm taking people back on Monday. I have Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I'm leaving Friday afternoon, hopefully early enough to beat traffic on the I-10 west. I will take one setup. Bring 2-3 pairs of fresh clothes, toiletries and such, maybe bedding, but keep things light. I have limited space in my car. Who's riding with me, and where are you leaving your cars? I may be able to pick Carlos up from his home if bell lets him go
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: f-wlen ice loop February 17, 2010, 05:39:40 PM

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player February 17, 2010, 06:18:52 PM
Choco, is there a definite time frame for what time you plan to leave on Friday? If you're heading back on Monday, I'll most likely ride back with Dippy. As for heading to there, I'm undecided but I think you're right saying that it would probably be a good idea for him to take as many as possible. We'll see what he says first and how much space he has. I'm not bringing much outside of my 13" tv.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd February 17, 2010, 06:47:07 PM
I have class tomorrow afternoon/night, so heading over with Duppy probably isn't going to work unless he's leaving later at night.  I'll probably head back with Duppy on Sunday though, since I have class Monday night.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player February 17, 2010, 08:32:39 PM
I believe he did say he was planning on leaving tomorrow night. I don't think he said exactly what time though.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco February 17, 2010, 10:51:46 PM
I am taking Carlos and H-F on Friday early afternoon. Meet at my place, H-F. Carlos, decide if you want to meet at my place or have my pick you up on the way.

Tempered and Lokanas are going in Duppy's car on Thursday night from what I understand. I don't know what other arrangements can be made in this situation.

Both of me and Duppy are driving back on Monday. Technically, I could drive out on Sunday late night since my normal schedule is to stay up all night, so I'll let whoever is riding back with me determine when we return.

I'm bringing a TV and at least one HD loader PS2. We won't have much room for anything else except normal luggage.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player February 17, 2010, 10:56:41 PM
Wait, Duppy's going back Monday also? Uh, if I ride back when you, can we return late Sunday night? Assuming I'm not laid off on Friday, I'll have work on Monday morning. :-X

I won't have too much with me so space shouldn't be a problem. Just my setup which shouldn't take up too much trunk space.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered February 18, 2010, 01:25:59 AM
I thought he was leaving sunday too. Welp dippy. let me know when you leave so I can prepare, It takes me like 10 minutes. send me a highlight (you got to include "Tempered" in the message.) on irc. PMs dont alert me well enough.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd February 18, 2010, 03:00:45 AM
Carlos, decide if you want to meet at my place or have my pick you up on the way.

I think it's less effort on the whole if you pick me up on your way out of town, since I'm in that direction and all.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick February 18, 2010, 06:05:47 AM
Yeah I'm leaving Thursday night. I'll go to Choco's sometime after 7 to get Tempered, then head to Lokanas' to get him and then head out. As for coming back, my original plan was to leave Monday but who is that going to be an issue for?

(Replying from work, lol. Won't be able to reply to anything quickly until I get off work today.)
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd February 18, 2010, 06:20:41 AM
I have class Monday afternoon/eveningish, so heading back Sunday night or something would be ideal for me.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player February 18, 2010, 02:38:09 PM
Choco, if you happen to see this message, can you give me a time frame when I should be there? I'm possibly going to be selling some stuff I don't need anymore in your area since that's where the buyer wants to meet and I need an idea when I should arrive so I can leave accordingly.

To everyone else, I still don't have Choco's number so can someone pm it to me?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered February 18, 2010, 03:05:05 PM
Its on the first post. its matches up with what i have.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco February 18, 2010, 03:27:57 PM
Sounds like Sunday night would be best... that means we'll leave around midnight in CA, and arrive back in AZ in the early morning.

As for leaving, I have to go home, pack, get some sleep, and I suppose I'll wake up around 1 PM. We can leave around 1:45 PM to 2 PM, just make sure you're here before 1:30 PM, H-F. Space shouldn't be so much of a problem this time, I think.

My number is still 480-570-4381 if you need it.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd February 22, 2010, 08:48:52 PM
Choco, is there a set of instructions on what's needs to be done to run older system games on my PSP now that you've played with it?

Also, the OVA series I was talking about was Denpa Teki na Kanojo.  If you haven't seen it already, psychological horror/suspense/mystery feel to it; OVAs started airing in '09.  The first OVA is worth watching, can't comment on the second yet.

This whole posting on 2 separate forums where only a few people check both is awkward at times like this.  Tempered, are you going to Spiteful's, too; or were you just letting Chipp know that there wasn't really going to be anyone at MH playing his games?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

: Tempered March 06, 2010, 02:45:19 PM
Yeah were going to be playing tonight HF. after 6 as usual. I wouldnt mind going to Burnt Toast either.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 07, 2010, 11:29:03 AM
Oh so you're considering going to Burnt Toast now? That's good. If we can get a group going, that would be great. I really wanna go now that I can't attend FR anymore. :-\

Also, since FR is next weekend, I think we should do something of our own for those of us who aren't going. How about a ranbat? Choco and Dippy said we do have enough players.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered March 09, 2010, 06:47:12 PM
Depends on who shows up this sat. I don't really feel like running a ran bat but if people want to I guess ill suck it up. or Dippy can run it.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 09, 2010, 07:38:04 PM
Well, gotta prepare for Burnt Toast 2 somehow. Also, if it goes down, I nominate Dippy to run it as well. :V

FRXIII is THIS weekend. If you want to run a ranbat without me (lol) or Jaxx, feel free I guess. Dunno if that'll be very legit, though.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 09, 2010, 09:26:45 PM
Well if you wanna look at it like that, it would be inadvisable to do it the weekend after since that's the weekend of BT2 and 3 of us will be gone. Then that wouldn't be very legit either. Anyways, I was just throwing the idea out there for a change of pace.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco March 09, 2010, 10:27:33 PM
I never proposed doing it on the weekend of Burnt Toast 2. The obvious answer is to do it the weekend after Burnt Toast 2.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 09, 2010, 11:07:01 PM
That's fine with me, but I think I'll be heading back to SoCal (again) for my grandma's birthday that weekend. The plans aren't set in stone, but I'll figure it out as the date approaches. If that is the case, then we can move it to the first weekend of April. :-\

Yeah that isn't happening if the ranbat is run on the 27th -- I won't be able to make it.

So April 3rd it is!

Why do I get stuck running these things, anyway.  :emo:
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Because you were randomly nominated. No other reason. I'm more than willing to do it, but I don't get nominated???

Tempered, did you ever figure out what determines if F-Sacchin can cross up after a 623C, dash, 2[C], 623{B} combo finisher?  I was randomly able to cross up with it on V.Sion, but haven't been able to cross up with it at all on V.Akiha today.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered March 12, 2010, 08:34:35 PM
You generally don't use 623[/b] for oki. it doesn't give enough time for anything else other than a meaty. Just ask me about her shit tomorrow ill tell you what I know.

At some point, I'm going to rape the girl in your avatar.

Wait, that has nothing to do with traveling to BT2. My original plans were to get to Choco's at around 10 AM (give us a bit of a buffer to get there before MBAA starts), but Tempered has been making some noise about not wanting to go.

Well see how I feel tommorow. Right now I dont even feel like playing casuals on saturdays if I dont go. Maybe something will hype me up to want to go. but real talk. 12 hours ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 19, 2010, 12:25:07 PM
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. :|
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 19, 2010, 04:20:13 PM
Alright, so now that that's out of the way, maybe we can get the ball rolling. To my knowledge, NorCal has already left. Do you guys think it would be possible to leave tonight and head to bell's so that way we're not rushing tomorrow morning? If we leave at 10 tomorrow morning, we'll be cutting it real close and probably won't have much time to play casuals to warm up for the tourney. If we left tonight, we could spend the night at bell's, get rested up, and before leaving for the tourney we could get matches in. What do you guys think? Plus, I've been waking up really late recently, so I'm afraid of sleeping past that 10 am departure time. :|
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

If you have a PS2 memory card with 2.5 MB free, plus a working PS2 that isn't super new... then I can get you up and running with the game. I will need to mod your memory card and provide you with a patched disc to play the game on. You just need to come over so I can do the work.

This is how it works once you have the memory card mod and disc: Insert disc, close tray, turn off system. Insert memory card, turn on system, watch it boot to a grey screen with various options. Press X and that will boot the disc. Very simple.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Kiiroe March 23, 2010, 11:04:09 PM

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Kiiroe March 25, 2010, 08:20:05 PM
just curious, about how many people show up on Saturdays?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Territorial Oak March 25, 2010, 10:47:03 PM
A good few, depends on the weekend.

Most weekends you can expect 4-6 people.  Sometimes we get a couple extra.

EDIT: the 4-6 people refer specifically to the Melty players.  There's usually more there just playing random games like TvC, GG, BB, SF4, etc.

EDIT 2:
Should we start getting a headcount/discussing the rules for ranbats?  I don't think we want an entry fee, and the number of people I think would warrant being able to do a round robin if we start a little early.  I really think we all need to be playing more of each other, since matchup knowledge is sparse as it is.  I think we'd be foolish not to pass it around as much as possible.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Kiiroe March 26, 2010, 03:09:04 PM
sounds like a good time, I want to come at some point.

I see you have to get approved though?

There's me, Tempered, you, Ryd, H-F, Dippy, and probably Ted. If they show up, Kevin and Brian should be down as well. I'm down with ranbats this weekend if we have a decent showing. I'm down with no entry fee, but somehow, I want SOMETHING to be on the line to get us to play better under pressure. 25 - 50 cents sound okay? Maybe even just gather up some change and put it into the pot. That way it doesn't feel like you're really losing anything, but you have something to gain depending on how well you do.

Kiiroe: Everyone is welcome to visit at least once. The last person who got banned from the house came over like... 3-5 times before proving to be too ignorant to learn basic social skills. We're not that strict, so feel free to come by, watch matches, and maybe we can even get you set up on a TV on your own so you can practice the same. I could even sell you a PS2 for $40 if you'd like. I have an extra one lying around right now.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Kiiroe March 26, 2010, 04:37:19 PM
40$ for that ps2 would be PERFECT actually. Ill definetely be stopping by and hanging out, I think i can exhibit basic social skills, respect, and restraint haha.

EDIT: I cant buy the ps2 until like next week, I'm young and have to wait long periods of time before receiving any money  >:(
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 26, 2010, 05:18:54 PM
Since my plans for the weekend are cancelled, I can show up tomorrow night. I don't mind if we run ranbats tomorrow, but Dippy will be missing since he's out of town. If there's a large enough showing and enough people are ok with it, then I guess it should happen. I don't mind if there is or isn't an entry fee, 25-50 cents or so is fine. As for the format, round robin sounds good so that everyone plays each other. I assume that the format will be 2/3 matches? If this goes down, consider this the March ranbat. The April 3rd ranbat should be good to go as well since Dippy will be back in town. Stream? y/n?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered March 26, 2010, 07:18:44 PM
Wed be better off recording matches if possible (yes stream records shit but id rather have quality :V). Sp00ky will be running a stream for On Blast!? and that'll be drawing all the viewers anyways.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player March 26, 2010, 07:46:12 PM
Oh right, I forgot that ON BLAST was tomorrow. :V Well as long as stuff gets recorded, that's ok too. It's always nice to go back and review matches.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Territorial Oak March 26, 2010, 08:41:13 PM
Dude, I just had an AWESOME idea.

Everyone but top 3 in ranbat has to bring a snack or drink or something to the next hosting session.  Like, a 2-liter of cola, or a bag of chips or something.

Basically, it's a potluck where the losers have to bring something.

How does that sound? :V

EDIT:
This would of course, happen each time the ranbat goes down.  Keeping track of points and such would be nice too.  I think it would also be a good way to keep people playing hard, and also encouraging people to come back and practice more too, if people are bringing snacks on at least a semi-consistent basis.

While it seems like a pretty nice idea, I'm just thinking of... well, winning doesn't matter as much as not losing! So winning a lot is kind of the same as winning a little. And I'm not saying this because I foolishly think I will most definitely win the ranbat, I'm just thinking of personal experience in tournaments... at 3-2, you will curse yourself and say might have had a chance to go farther under a different bracket or something. However, under that rewards system, 3-2 would mean you have a true passing grade with no financial negativity (like losing an entry fee).

I'm still in favor of that idea since it helps everyone! Just had to throw that bit of emotional stuff in there.

EDIT-Sorry about AIM, Sam. I got a call from Mari, then went downstairs to play Tempered, and I forgot to answer :< I feel kinda bad. Sorry.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Territorial Oak March 27, 2010, 07:15:06 AM
NPs.  I mostly wanna encourage people to practice, and learn as much as they can while keeping discouragement to a low.  Small money entries would pretty much accomplish the same thing really, but if you can make something sound a little fresh in some way or another, it'll be easier to get people to join in.  It's hard to say no when you say "No entry fee", and it'll just sound goofy and fun when you say "losers bring punch and pie".

Either way, I think we know who'll be there for the comp, and who's gonna be there for fun.

No. Ranbats are never a weekly affair. There will be a 2-3 week break between ranbats. During the off weeks, we will pair up and practice like usual, but let's try to have some of the more experienced players really help the lower performers in understanding the holes in their game. Just playing sometimes isn't enough.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Territorial Oak April 03, 2010, 12:36:38 AM
I think it would be best if we paired off based on the previous ranbat's rankings,  IE 1st place helps last place, 2nd helps second to last, etc. until we're all paired off.  Basically, the people who need the most help get it from the highest rank.  Do this for at least half an hour, and get some input on what's working, what's NOT working, and how to improve.

Obviously, mixing it up is great too.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Too many people at these gatherings now. x_x

Granted I probably could have played more, but I had to kind of el oh el at Shashin losing 100 games while people were waiting to play. Either people need to be more forceful about cycling in and out (I was too tired to give a shit and would have played like shit last night, but yeah) or some rules need to be formalized.

In regards to mentoring, I don't think that would work real well. There's a difference between playing well and teaching well (for example, Choco gives advice about as well as he takes it :P ), and I know that at least for me if people asked me advice about C-R.Arc or H-Kohaku or... well... really, anyone outside of the characters I play, it wouldn't end very well.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player April 04, 2010, 12:07:05 PM
@Kiiroe Sorry I didn't give you a proper greeting last night. You looked very busy in training mode and I didn't want to disturb you. :psyduck: On the bright side, welcome to the scene. You now have a setup to practice on at home. :) We'll do the best we can to answer whatever questions you have about the game. Hell even the more experienced players like ourselves have questions that we would like to be answered. Hell I've got quite a few myself, see paragraph below to get an idea. <.<

GGs to all whom I played against. uuuuugh, I left pretty infuriated last night in spite of my seemingly monster win-loss ratio. I've told a few of you the story so you know what I'm referring to. I'm just going to suck it up and say that playing another marathon of matches at 3 am onward is not the smartest thing to do. That's what I get for overstaying my time. :-\

And I agree, 100+ matches between the same two people is WAY too much. We need to definitely get a rotation going. I don't like having to interrupt matches to get in on a series of matches even if I usually get it. 3/5 or something should be good enough and it should be enforced. Since there's not that many of us, the rotation will be going constantly.

I'm not too keen on the tutoring idea myself as I can explain some engine mechanics, but for character specifics, I can only explain what I know about the characters I use. I'd suggest streaming or recording matches and reviewing them since it's something everyone can benefit from. That's how I usually learn. I was really hoping that the videos from last week's ranbat would be posted so I could review them, and I know I played REALLY sloppy but I can't exactly remember everything. It would be nice to just go back and see what we all did wrong so we can iron out all the kinks.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Territorial Oak April 04, 2010, 05:12:21 PM
Yeah, videos would be nice.

As for mentoring, I understand what you guys mean, but I think it would be best if we just got some more interaction and question asking going on.  Even if we don't know the character in question, it doesn't mean we can't have any feedback like "This is pretty unsafe" or "Why do you use that move?"  At the very least, we can give them some matchup knowledge from our perspective, which can help a lot if they're having trouble with that specific matchup.

In the end, I just figured doing SOMETHING to use the experience/knowledge of the players who placed higher to the benefit of the people who are just starting is a good start; even if it's not much, some dialogue is better than no dialogue.

Oh man, my ASU dorm is only about 10 min away from the meetup location and I never even knew AZ had a scene. Been playing mbac consistently for over a year now and haven't really gotten a chance to get into mbaa since I couldn't find anyone else who played locally, although I do own mbaa and a ps2 stick. I would love to start attending if only I had a car :psyduck:

I ride my bike 5 miles one way to attend this shit on saturdays.

Also, get in touch with someone and ask for a ride?  I know Carlos gave me a ride once, but meh whatever.

Been a member since the end of 2008?! Dang! I've had two threads in this section, and the main thread has always been on the first page :O You're late!

So for rides, we can probably find a bus route for you out here, or we can work a pickup out somehow. All the info on the first page is valid still, too.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Yeah. Just go up to the Tempe Transit Center and ride the 48 down to our place. Then you can ride it back as well. Bus' runs until midnight as well on sat.

Yeah I think I'll try that then, although I'll probably arrive early and leave early if the bus only runs till midnight. Might be a week or two before I start showing up. I need to grind some bnbs and blockstrings anyways so I don't get my shit pushed in too hard  :V

How many setups do you guys have? Would I need to bring my own stick or whatever
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd April 05, 2010, 04:39:12 PM
Bringing your own stick is always advisable.

Depending on which of the ASU dorms you're at and if you plan on staying later than the buses run, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride home, since I usually drop Ted off at the dorms near Mill/10th as it is.  You're probably better off working out your own way to get to the outings though (or at least not depending on me), as I don't really have a set time that I try to get down there.  Of course, how late I stay from here on out really depends on how my work schedule is going to be looking =T

I totally encourage you to stop by at least once, even if you're still grinding BnBs.  Depending on the players, we might have some people who are picking up alts and are around the same skill level.  I know that I still need a LOT of work with my F-Miyako, so I guarantee whatever you bring to the table will be fine as long your zoning/air footsies is up to par.

Got it.

Also, could we possibly record matches this weekend? Ideally I think we should EVERY weekend as it will definitely help being able to review your own matches. Anyone who wants to be recorded should volunteer and it should be like 2/3 or 3/5 or something just to keep the rotation going. If someone defeats all the players (ie. "around the world"), then that player should give up their spot to the next person in the rotation to ensure that everyone gets a chance to play everyone else. 100+ match sessions are just way too long and with the increased number of players, won't really help.

I have a Touhou PVC figure on pre-order scheduled for release this month. :|

Backtracking a bit, but somewhat related to this.  Since I'll actually have income again next week, I had a few PVCs I was looking to get.  I've noticed a huge price range for some, one in particular is a preorder that most places have for like $110, but I found a site selling for $45 if you preorder.  Is that kind of thing standard?

Also, the MH players might like this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMI7PZDegTg)  I got a laugh out of some parts, but it might not be for everyone =T

I'm gonna try to make it for real this week  :D Hopefully i wont fail to find a ride

You said you're in Avondale, right?   I don't intend to make a habit of this unless you get really serious about MB or GG...or F/uc...and are willing to pitch in a few bucks for gas money if it becomes routine, but I can give you a ride down to Melty House this Sat (free of charge for the first trip) if needed since I'm in western Phoenix, near 75th and Lower Buckeye.  Ride back is possible too, though I don't know what time I'll be leaving; usual is like 4-5am, but as I've been waking up around 7am all this week, it may be earlier.   No guarantees though, so if you need to be home sooner, it may be best to see if you can work that out with family or something.

I'm not so sure if it's standard, but it's likely. It really depends on the places you look. It's a given that ebay is one of the worst place to buy PVCs but I look there anyway just to get an idea of how rare some might be. The one I'm after right now goes for as high as $200 there which is ridiculous since it's not limited edition or anything like that. A friend of mine has given me a few sites to look for stuff like this and one he recommended has it on pre-order (it's a re-release) which will be about ~$60. Where do you usually go?

Yes definetely, I can pay gas money and all that.  The only reason i would have to leave early is because no one wants to pick me up super late (which is understandable) I can stay out until whenever though.

HF - site in question is hobbyfan.com.  I don't strictly use any particular one as a main though; haven't really done a lot of PVC shopping, so I've been browsing around multiple sites to see what's available at which price ranges and stuff.  This one just caught my eye because it had a regular price listed at 109.99, with preorder at 44.99, while other sites did preorder for the listed price, or maybe like 10% off for preordering.

Kiiroe - throw a phone number in there too, if you can; makes it easier to coordinate stuff.

: COD3player April 14, 2010, 03:25:36 PM
Ah ok. Yeah, I myself don't do PVC shopping all that often. When doing PVC shopping, it's always a good idea to check multiple sites because chances are one of them is going to have a really good deal compared to the rest. My friend recently showed me amiami.com and they have a wide selection to choose from and the prices are much lower than every other site I've been to thus far. They have a 50% off shipping for this month too actually. The PVC I'm looking for is supposed to be released sometime this month so I can only hope it goes in stock before it's over. :V

GGs to everyone I got to play yesterday.

@Choco, start tallying up the ranbat points. x_X You picked up F-Hisui pretty quick but I still think she's pretty bad and not the F-Aoko counter you were dreaming of. There are better tools for the trade. :V

@Sam, explaining why AH vs BB makes sense: click (http://www.meltybread.com/forums/akiha%27s-tea-room/blazblue-vs-arcana-heart/msg70352/#msg70352) You TAKE IT and you LIKE IT, scrub. >:D

@Kiiroe Thanks again for lending me your 360.

Anyone lucky enough to get the leaked 360 version of SSF4? :slowpoke:

I've taken Dippy's suggestion into consideration about H-Ryougi and I think at the next meetup I'll play her exclusively. Gotta start grinding those loops though. <.> I can afford to do this as there will be at least another meetup before the next ranbat to re-learn my other characters if necessary.

I dislike.

I was thinking more from a mechanical standpoint as opposed to character compatability though honestly.

: Territorial Oak April 18, 2010, 03:27:37 PM
Well, they both have to meet a certain minimum really.  My threshold for acceptance on mechanics is a lot lower than it is for aesthetics.

I also still have trouble with accepting the characters existing in the same place at the same time.  I understand that there are archetypes for these sorts of things, but stylistically and conceptually, they're just very very different games.  Blaz Blue tries so hard to be edgy, and grim while Arcana Heart seems to be in love with its light-hearted "Mahou Shoujo" feel.  But again, like we said before, "lol fightan gaem story" so it's not that big of a deal.

That being said, I still don't see how it would work on a mechanical level either.  Would you pick grooves?  What about those drive buttons?  How would you balance the AH characters to compete with BB characters if the BB guys get the arcana as well?  Would the AH girls get drives too?  Or would their boost cancels act as drive substitutes?  Would the BB guys get the boost too?  I dunno.  It's all over the place really.  I'm sure you could FORCE it to work, but I don't think I'd look forward to it or even expect it to do remotely well.

EDIT:
Taokaka might fit into Arcana Heart.  That's about the only thing I can really see happening.  And Rachel.  I guess she fits a sort of Moe archetype, right?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player April 18, 2010, 07:17:34 PM
Oh I'm not denying that it would be a very hard game to balance from a mechanics perspective. I'm well-aware. I would like the game for the character compatibility alone because I knew for a fact that ArcSys and Examu were in bed together when it came to their characters. VS games just don't have that these days. Either way, I'm sure if it were to happen, ArcSys or Examu could find some kind of compromise. :| But I wouldn't really wouldn't count on it being balanced, but eh. :psyduck:

Yes those 2 would fit, but I couldn't find a parallel for them. :V

Yo, so do you guys plan on doing qualifiers for the desert coast team in the Evo regional when we come down or would it be better to save it for devastation?  Devastation might be better for us, since there's one person who won't be able to make it to this next ranbat, but really either way is cool with us.

Also, for this upcoming ranbat, is anything going to be carrying on to sunday?  Asking cuz we probably will have to leave saturday night, since Adonis (lv.0) has work on sunday morning.  He can potentially get the day off, but he wants to save as much vacation time for Evo as possible rather than use any now.  I also need to know the address of where we're heading to, so a PM or whatever would be lovely.  The plan is that we'll be leaving the evening of the 7th (Friday), so expect us super late Friday night.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Choco April 27, 2010, 08:09:51 PM
Ranbat will begin and end on Saturday. There will be casual play / practice on Sunday, but that's about it. No need to stay for Sunday if you need to get back.

What's this business of AZ and Vegas being lumped together as a region? AZ travels to Cali for most of its practice and competition. Vegas hardly travels at all. What other regions are there in the first place?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player April 27, 2010, 08:48:55 PM
It's been a while since this was discussed, but the possibility of combining AZ and Vegas to compete for the same team was mentioned a few weeks ago but there was no followup. Other than that, I think AZ was going to be paired up to compete with the Pacific Northwest then that got changed. Not sure what the deal is now.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: LoliSauce April 28, 2010, 01:48:55 AM
I'm not sure if you realized, Choco, but I did decline the chance at Vegas getting its own team, because I don't think it's right for one small scene to get its own team if this shit is supposed to represent entire regions.  If it gets narrowed down to just 8 teams (as I'm guessing it will, if people want it to be a big deal serious business side tourney) then AZ and Vegas should probably combine forces for a desert region team.  It makes a hell of a lot more sense than having some other states smashed together that aren't even close enough to be considered one region.  It IS going to be a regional tourney still, right?

And the only reason that Vegas doesn't really get out much is half because the scene here is so new and half because only a few of us have cars.  Somehow I'm the ringleader of the bunch, so since I've been unable to trip around lately, the others haven't taken the initiative.  

Anyway, if the regional is still going to actually happen, I'd appreciate some consideration into us combining as a region.  A lack of recent travel doesn't mean there's a lack of serious interest or competitive play.  Let's talk about setting up a qualifier at some point.

For AZ, I'm planning to run all F-Maids this weekend. I believe that we could all benefit from learning this matchup, so please come prepared and I will too.

Also, I will be in SoCal from 5/18-6/17. So I'll be back just in time for Devastation.

I'd agree that AZ as a whole is better for sure.  I know that I taught most of the people there some Miyako tricks to watch out for though, so I wouldn't say that you guys didn't get any benefit.  The number of people that didn't realize how free her corner tech punish is (seriously, dash 2a punishes all tech directions and is how you start otg, so there's no thinking involved at all) or know to block her ex dp low shocked me.  Doren will abuse shit like that if you let him.

I laughed at the announcer's disappointment when F-Ries lost to bullshit inescapable corner-AD bullshit.  It perfectly summarizes how I feel every time I land it.

It's j2C 236B jC.  I'll have to play with it to see if there's a way to not cross up, too; and whether crossup protection affects it.

Nice to see I'm not the only one getting fucked over by temp/fake half-second crossups and getting Momiji instead of the flame knots  :emo:

I saw him not crossup with it a couple times.  Not sure what he did differently though.  Might have been a spacing/time delay thing.  Maybe airdash late after 236b?  Seems legit to me at least =/

Also, yes this is Sam.

My car is OK but has a possibility of dying from unknown causes. Carlos's car is 8 years younger than mine, but gets 20 MPG compared to my car's 28 MPG (more around 30-32 the way I drive). Gas costs, music selection and comfort-ability being the primary factors for this decision, which vehicle should we take to AMDev?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd June 07, 2010, 09:10:14 AM
Just to elaborate, the one caveat to me driving is that while I am behind the wheel, music selection is my call.  This is only negotiable to the point of if there's something else I want to listen to, I'll swap to that if you're tired with what's currently playing.  Might not sound like too bad of a thing, but I feel the need to throw out this warning since Will was starting to complain about listening to Nightwish and Yousei Teikoku 90% of the time (yes, that is an accurate percentage).  Other possible music options extend to Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Guns 'n Roses, Bon Jovi, Trans Siberian Orchestra, INXS, Hatsune Miku, assorted anime/game/VN soundtracks, and other random shit.  If you don't like it, sleep, bring ear plugs, or your own ipod or something :l

That aside, I'm impartial to the matter of who ends up driving.  I don't mind long drives as long as I have music, and money isn't a real issue for me at the moment, so I'm ok with the higher price of my driving if everyone else is; but I'm also ok with Choco driving his car and sparing me the bullshit of California traffic.

: Territorial Oak June 08, 2010, 09:04:34 PM
I think comfort is a big issue.

Just sayin'.

Also, anyone down for some midweek sessioning?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd June 10, 2010, 04:18:02 PM
Just my take on things, but comfort wasn't really an issue when Choco drove last time, though it was only Choco, HF, myself, and a spare setup.

Also possibly worth mentioning is that if I drive, there'll be another 90 or so miles tacked on to the overall trip in gas costs, since I'll have to drive to Tempe from where I live (near Tolleson/Avondale, something like 23 miles from MH) to pick everyone up, then head back west, and the have pretty much the same thing happen on the way back.  It'll only translate to something like another $3-4 a head, but that's also on top of however much extra it'll be if I drive.  Might not be that big of a deal, but I figure I should throw that out there.  You guys driving here and then shifting everything to my car isn't terribly appealing either unless you park near one of the vacant houses around here, since I don't want to have to deal with potential bitching about it from my dad when I get back (makes almost no sense, I know, but I don't understand him either).

So I picked up another PS2 so I can give Will's back this weekend; interesting predicament.  It loads F/UC just fine with Free McBoot, but not Melty.

Upon further inspection, it may be that it doesn't like some of the wear 'n tear the MB disc has suffered, though F/UC isn't in much better shape, and it reads it just fine.

Holy fuck, I think we forgot to factor in H-F for planning purposes.

*checks room reservation list*

Yeah, I totally forgot H-F was coming back to AZ before Evo. Thankfully we still have room for you!

So the final list is as follows:

Dipstick
Choco
Tempered
H-F Blade
Ryd
Glide

Who goes where...  :mystery:. I need to get there first or you're going to be sad without a hotel room.

I kinda want to go with Carlos for comfort and overall better music, but if you can keep Dippy talking the trip feels like only 2 hours. decisions decisions.

Keep some space for Jaxx and dan in these plans. Jaxx wants to go, so it doesnt hurt to be sure, and I overheard something about Dan possibly having an oppourtunity to go.

I need whoever is going to Evo from AZ to post up the earliest possible time that they could leave, and when they need (or want to) be back by. We need to figure out who is going with who and when. I heard Choco is going to SoCal a couple of days before, Spidey wants me to come up to Vegas Wedensday, and some people were making noise about having to work on Monday. Basically, this is a giant mess.

I can give you my .iso. But there are a couple of things, I'm not 100% sure if I'm using the same version (US or EU) which means your save data may or may not be compatible with it (so you may have to start over). It's ability to work might also depend on your custom firmware version. I had to use this D2/D3 switcher to get mine to work. I really wanna try co-op if possible. Even the main ops allow co-op.

Jaxx, keep us posted on how things go with your work schedule.  If possible, I'd like to leave on Thursday and not have to go to the tourney the same day as a 5 hour drive; but if that's how things end up, that's what we'll work with.

I'm not sure if I'll make it to MH again before Wed.  Might go tonight after dinner with family (birthdays...) since I don't have to be at work till 11 tomorrow, but I also woke up at 8am with only 5 hours of sleep, so we'll see how I'm feeling later.  I've already gone into brain-dead autopilot mode relatively early the last two nights, not sure how much I (or anyone else) will get out of me playing in that condition some more.

Well, I've decided that since Dippy is gonna be taking a bunch of equipment, I'll probably just go with Carlos if that's okay.  He has more room in the car, so 4 people in his vehicle will be significantly less packed than 4 people in Dippy's car.

I did wanna get there early to play the JP players, but I think that at this point I need to just take a deep breath, step back, and really just make sure I do the best with what I have now.  Any unnecessary risk-taking would be suicide at this point.

Throwing this out there just so people know.  Gas costs to Evo totaled out to $28 on the way there ($7/head), $33 on the way back ($11/head).  Anyone who rode with me to Evo one way (aka Sam) owes $7 for the ride.  Everyone else (aka Choco & Jaxx) owes $18.  I'm not putting a date on when I want this, but I'd like to avoid a repeat of the Ted/cookies incident if possible.

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: ikeTATARI July 15, 2010, 10:31:08 PM
It's the game where you have to be able to TK everything. I play Luvia, and her loop is literally 5B 2B {5C 2C 623A 228C C Bx8}xN...

Needless to say, I can't do it once. D=

Also, eff Sakura. Unblockable setups into infinites should not exist.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd July 15, 2010, 11:07:59 PM
Oh, it's not an infinite; Sakura runs out of meter long before you run out of health.  But that's what the balloon super is for.  And unblockable resets mid-combo to negate proration and nulled meter gain at 50+ hits :bleh:  Remember, she's bottom tier!  ;D

Do Luvia's slap option for the throw instead, it makes me smile.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

But yeah, if anyone's down for a mid-week session next week, just post up or something. I might be able to view these boards if the resort we're staying at has wireless. If not, I'll just check when I get back. Now that Evo's over I don't have any particular goals in MBAA as of today. Not sure if I wanna fiddle around with other characters or what. We'll see.

Btw, how was EVO guys? I wanna hear about all your matches. :)
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player July 16, 2010, 01:50:32 AM
AZ actually did pretty well for the most part. I'll let the other guys go into detail about their matches and stuff so that I don't spoil it for them.

Evo was great. It was fun hanging out with all the other Melty players and stuff, but I regret that I didn't get to play everyone in casuals. Our room became the central meeting place for casuals and as such, it became a giant clusterfuck which made it really hard to get some peace and quiet during the day when I needed to just relax. I was in pool 4 of the tourney and Garu (the JP player who won the entire tourney) was my first match. That didn't go well so I spent the rest of tourney in losers. If you're bored enough, I can make a list of all the players I had to defeat and how I felt after each match, but if not that's fine. You can check the results thread to see where I ultimately placed since I don't think I should spoil that either.

Oh, and you already know how I loved playing the shit out of AH3. :V I nearly lost all focus on Melty after I started playing it. x_X
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: ikeTATARI July 16, 2010, 02:20:56 AM
Gar. I like Luvia's slap option too, Carlos, but I really highly doubt I'll be looping anyone in that game anytime soon. I will instead take advantage of her ridiculous command grabs and such to play some zoning. get dat zoning. all day.

Also I think I'm picking up H-Len?  :psyduck:

Who did you use in the tourney Ryd?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd July 16, 2010, 11:59:42 AM
F-Akiha.  She's become somewhat more fun, but I still feel kinda dirty because of some of the shit she has.

Edit:
Ok, to elaborate some...

Bye - This dirty fucker entered like 30 times to increase his chances of winning, but was DQ'd when it was pointed out, so free win on my part.  :V
Chelsey (won) - JP player, not on Garu's level, but he knew how to escape some of my stuff.  Played C-Arc in winners, C-Tohno and F-Arc in losers.  Put up a fight.  Really nice guy, all things considered; said I was a strong player at the end.
MagnusXL (won) - played C-Hisui, I lost one round due to execution failure and silly choices on my part.  Solid win.
Lord Knight (got beaten up) - This was saaaaad, but I've never played against a real H-Kohaku.  Can now fully appreciate why that bitch is S-tier.  Started to kinda figure out how to fight her in casuals after, but it was too late by then, obv.
Chelsey (won again) - See above.
Pfhor (won) - C-Kohaku; put up a fight.
Abstract (won) - C-Sacchin, lost one match due to Sacchin being Sacchin; his execution on links and stuff was sketchy though; hurt him in the long run.
Sp00ky (won pretty solidly) - I don't know if Sp00ky was intimidated by the giant fish on my stick, thrown off by my more aggressive F-Akiha/different playstyle from Fox, captivated by my luxurious mane, or was having a serious off day or what, but he practically got blown up  :-X  I think he took one round, but yeah, it was pretty bad on the whole...
YAT (lost) - Lost to his H-Tohno.  I wasn't as free this time as the first time I played him at one of the AMs though; even got complimented for improving  :)

On the whole, I don't think I did too badly, but was semi-plagued by silly execution errors; some because of the command interpreter, some just stupid shit on my part; maybe slight nerves, I dunno.  Either way, would not have saved me in the match with LK, but if I'd been more on the ball, might have had a better showing vs YAT?  Probably not enough to beat him though.  Seeing as it was my first real MB tourney, I don't think I'm in a position to complain much about how I did.

Greetings from Mexico. There's a certain brand name of bottled water here at a gift shop that I thought was kinda funny. I'll take a picture of it. I guess I could list the players I fought against at Evo:

bye - if you can't beat this guy, you have no business competing in a tournament.
Garu - Oh joy! My very first match is against the stronger of the 2 JP players. Needless to say you can kinda figure out how this went.
MissedFRC - used C-Warc. Won this match pretty convincingly.
Kro - I was told this guy was good at BB and that he played MB like way long time ago, but I took this without any effort. So I was kinda shocked. Played F-Akiha.
hdphnz - Old school Sacchin player from back in the MBAC PC days. Took this one pretty convincingly.
lvl.0 - Ries > Kouma. That's all that really needs to be said.
Zaelar - Alright, this one was a bit of a struggle believe it or not. I refused to play C-Ciel mirrors so I decided to go with my H-Ries. Now the thing is I played very conservatively. I took both matches but they both went to the final round with both of us having less than 20% life remaining.
Sam - How do me vs Sam matches typically unfold? You should know. But even then, he got the very first round of the set so I was kinda on edge because of it. Didn't help that we played like 30+ casuals before pools started. :|
Silent Shinobi - A really solid H-Arc player. Luckily the matchup isn't something I haven't seen before. He was pretty unfamiliar with the H-Ries matchup so I was able to use that to my advantage. I think I lost the 2nd round of the 1st match but don't remember all the specifics.
Snozz/Nandeyanen - see Burnt Toast 2 (?)

The rest of my matches were in top 8. I won't spoil them, so if you really want, you can find them on youtube, or you can check justintv because someone archived it. I don't have the link off the top of my head unfortunately but the justintv link is probably the best quality.

Overall, I can say that I was pretty satisfied with my end ranking in the tourney. I was in pool 4, and while it was neither pool 1 nor 2, it had its share of solid players. Playing H-Ries, a fairly underused character, came in real handy during the tourney since since I used her from lvl.0 onward (except top 8). This was also my very first major MB tourney. I missed both NEC, and FR, so when Evo came up, I pretty much had to give it my all. Everything I had done up until that point was dedicated specifically to Evo. It's the one tourney I didn't want to miss.

But now that Evo's over, I have no immediate goals to work for as far as MB is concerned. I suppose there's NEC but I'm not sure if I can go to that. But since Evo just finished, I've decided to take it easy in MB for a little while, maybe pick up some side characters and have some casual fun with the game. As of this moment, I'm thinking about H-Ciel (wtf? is this character even real?), H-W.Len, and C-V.Sion. Don't hold me to that list though, it might change. But like I said I'm going casual for a bit. :psyduck:

Pool 4, first match against Garu. Sounds familiar and I think I saw you since I was in pool 4 too but I don't know everyone's faces lol but I do remember him having a Kohaku stick if I remember right.

Either way nice job using H-Ries, I was really surprised to see one at evo. Yay for underused characters  :toot:

Btw, H-W.Len I find to be the only playable moon of hers for me. Her dash on the other moons just mindfucks me for whatever reason  :slowpoke:

Just a correction, Komidol was the player with the Kohaku stick. I believe he fought Garu in the very first round of the tourney.

Also, I edited my last post and added Sam. How could I forget him? :slowpoke:

Apparently it's a product of Coca-Cola. When I went into the store, I was the only customer there at the time and the cashier was looking at me with this funny expression. On my way out, I said I was just testing my new camera. She didn't say anything and I doubt she believed me, but oh well. lol

No just kidding. Len has some silly tools off of her throws (she has a midscreen throw combo?) and her TK236A (same damage as her BnB but throws them basically into the corner from everywhere except the other corner). TK236A is my new god.

It's because they heard that you ragequit/paused in the middle of my combo and told me that shit isn't gonna fly at melty haus. Just don't do it anymore and it won't be a problem. =D

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Ah a ragequit issue? That's not too bad. I mean, even I have ragequit before. I didn't take it out on the other player though, I just yelled at the tv and told the game to screw off. lol

As for the AH3 port, looks like it's coming out this winter. I suppose we can all put a little more faith into this port knowing that ArcSys is behind it. ArcSys is the best in the business when it comes to making training mode for 2D fighters and they make sure that the Rematch option bypasses the VS screen and loads the same match instantly. The worst they have done was the original JP release of Accent Core, but even that was fixed in due time. Since this is going to be released on next-gen consoles, that means fixes can be applied via patches.

You know what choco, it's okay that I lost so much - you guys are good players in that you can actually give me some advice on what to change about my playstyle and what might work better instead of just trolling me all day long. Though I think I'm gonna learn some Roastbeef - I've really wanted to, but continuously feeling like 90% of the reason I'm losing with HLen is because I just don't really understand her game and don't really mesh with her playstyle finally pushed me OVAR THE EDGE.

Sorry I wasn't a good source for practice. I still didn't feel like putting in my all into those matches since I'm still feeling burned out from Evo. But I am considering playing C-V.Sion on the side, so we'll see.

I love the megaman franchise, but I'm not particularly fond of the original series outside of megaman 9 =(

I played each of them through once at the very least, but I always miss the mobility of my dash =(

Hahaha the dash. That's the one complaint that MMX fans have about the OG games. Son, back then people were hardcore. We could only jump back then. lol As much as I love the X games, dashing makes it too easy.

So you know about RKS? Damn, how recently did you see it? You might be prepared for what I have in store for you then, or you might not. :X But yeah, it's pretty tough, but I wouldn't quite say it's as difficult as MM9. MM9 gave me a thorough ass whoopin' the first time around. :psyduck:

Fine, we'll have our OWN PARTY.

...with lolis.

...and sadness.

I could give Tempered a ride, but why would I show up to a party I wasn't even invited to and where I really don't know most of the people there?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: ikeTATARI August 22, 2010, 01:43:01 AM
Spiteful's was surprisingly fun. Too much drunken Rock Band for my taste (and that's hard to do), but I actually got to play some good BBCS matches. And Dan got me to play GG at which point I realized that it's REALLY fun, so, gonna probably pick that up too. =D

: COD3player August 23, 2010, 08:44:45 AM
GGs the other night guys. Since I won't be around this coming weekend, should I drop by Thursday? Depending on everyone else, I'd like to show up earlier in the day so that I'm not overstaying since I have to head to the airport early the next morning. :|
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player August 25, 2010, 03:24:53 PM
Tomorrow's Thursday. Anyone available for matches tomorrow? I know Choco said he is. If I head down, I need to do so and leave at a different time (preferably earlier) since my flight is early Friday morning. I wish this thread were more active on days other than Saturday (ie. the day stuff usually goes down). :psyduck:
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

I am, though it'll probably be around five when I get there.  Class gets out at 4:15 and then I have to navigate around the horrible construction on Baseline around Kyrene.  Dunno when you were hoping for.

That's ok with me assuming Melty Haus is still open tomorrow. I might head there a little earlier though, not sure yet. Still waiting to get an idea when most people will be available.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Alright guys, tomorrow I'll probably find out when I need to go in to 2wire to fill out paper work and stuff, so that means on that day I'll be in the area. Not sure what day it'll be (obviously) but I'll see if I can schedule it for Thursday if everyone's available like last Thursday. That means we can have another session before the weekend.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player August 31, 2010, 03:12:31 PM
So I'll be in the area this Thursday around 10 am for my orientation at 2wire. Judging from what I'm told, my work schedule is going to be Wed-Sun from 2 pm - 10:30 pm, which means my days off are Monday and Tuesday. This kinda tosses a wrench into my ability to attend our weekly Saturday meetups. :psyduck: I don't think anyone is available Monday and Tuesday, nor does anything usually happen on Sunday night. x_X
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Territorial Oak August 31, 2010, 03:19:45 PM
Maybe just try dropping by on saturdays after work?

I know you can take an early release on saturday if you choose; they even push people to take it if it's slow enough.  Not saying you SHOULD, because after all money is money... but even if you don't. I'd wager that we would be there for a few hours after 11 or so on saturdays.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player August 31, 2010, 03:26:04 PM
Yeah if there's an early release on Saturday then I'd probably take it. I mean tech support is needed 24/7 unlike student support which is only needed during the week so it might not happen that often. The office I'll be working in is really close to Melty Haus. I suppose I could stop by a couple hours and NOT overstay my visit like I normally do (4 am isn't going to cut it anymore). That should give me enough time to get home and rested up again before my 3 pm shift on Sunday.

But aside from that, I'll be in the area at 10 am this Thursday. I doubt anyone's available for matches in the late morning but if anyone is, then so will I. :psyduck: I don't expect this orientation to take more than an hour or 2 at most.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Akujiki August 31, 2010, 04:53:02 PM
Won't be able to make it this Saturday, we're hosting a party and I have to be a reasonable host and, you know, be here.  :emo:

Barring any other unforeseen social events usurping my leisure time, I should be able to make it next week.

HF: Unfortunately, the only break I've got on Thursday is from 11:45 to 1:30 and I'd prefer to stay on or at least close to campus.  If you know any place nearby then I wouldn't mind trying to meet up and at least get something in this week.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Tempered August 31, 2010, 04:58:55 PM
Well Choco has requested that I don't host for the next few weeks. So Dippy or Sam are gonna have to step up and host, or you can try and yell at choco to convince him to want people over.

3pm shift on sunday? You could totally play all night, then spend the night, then go to work the next day.

Also my Schedule is going to end up being sun-thurs. so lol at scheduling conflicts. but whatever I live at the general hosting spot.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick August 31, 2010, 05:32:20 PM
I have Mondays off right now! HF and I can have secret sessions of... pain and suffering. D:

Hrm, me hosting... there's one problem I have with that -- I only have one setup. That and the house looks like crap, but I doubt you people care about that.

If someone (and by someone I mean Ryd because he's the one with a SUV) wants to come by this weekend and help me gank enough gear from Goodwill for a second setup (sans PS2), I'm game.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player August 31, 2010, 06:49:30 PM
Ouch so Choco would prefer you not host for a bit? That's pretty rare. Granted it's usually just us because the other guys are off doing their own things nowadays (namely CS). If it's somewhere else then it's not really a big deal. I suppose when I officially start working (once training is over), spend Sat. night over at Melty Haus if you guys don't mind. I'll try not to do so on a regular basis though since I don't want to be taking up space longer than I need to. :| Also Dippy, I don't think any of us will mind what your house looks like since we're all gamers here. If there's enough space and there's no safety hazards that's good enough for me. :V

Is anyone coming by tomorrow? Ryd, if you want to come by early and help with obtaining furniture from Goodwill (the one right near here is open until 9 on Saturdays), that would be appreciated. You could probably grab Tempered and Glide while you're at it. HF can come by whenever he gets off, I guess.

I get off of work around 3 and would like to take a nap so anyone here before 5 PM will be murdered on site by the death loli on watch.

Someone bring an extra setup (sans TV; I'll buy one at Goodwill).

And dammit HF, where do you get these avatars?

Thanks for hosting Dippy and GGs to all I played. Tempered was into Castlevania WAY too much, moreso than I was last night but dammit, I came to play Melty. I can play Castlevania on my own time or something. And too bad it'll only come to PSN if it sells well on XBL. Somehow I don't think that's exactly a good medium for measurement because then they'll have to develop it for PSN and stuff and that could take a while. :psyduck: Oh well.

Also Sam, what's the name of the place you just got hired at? I was thinking maybe I should give them a call really soon and schedule an interview so I can see what they're all about and if it's more stable than Volt/2Wire. I remember you said the pay was $10.50 an hour which is 50 cents less than the starting pay for Volt/2Wire. But I think it's still another opportunity to look into and getting a position via networking is always good. Do you mind if I have your last name? Because I think it would be useful to mention that you referred me to them. :V

Click on careers and they'll give you an application/test.  It's a timed affair, so make sure you've got about an hour or so of free time just in case.  It's fairly easy and I was able to do it in like 20 minutes, and I'm sure you won't have trouble with it, but well... better to be safe than sorry, right?

I want to schedule some stream time so that people can actually watch at a sane time (or at least not have an excuse to not watch).

I'm all for showing off my super gay character on the stream.

Go ahead and tell people it's going down on Saturday, hell, see if we can get it posted on the SRK stream listing.  That'd be pretty dope too.

Just be aware that if we advertise, we should at least start off with some sort of structure.  I for one really like the first to 10, stand after 2 sets that we were using a while back.  Lets people see a lot of what some characters have to offer, but still lets us rest in between if we need to.

But hey, that's just my 2 cents.

I'm actually looking forward to today's session (yes, as of this post, it's after midnight, hence TODAY) but I guess it's because I'm so happy to have 2 consecutive days off again and it's the weekend. I suppose before I show up I'll need to run my little errand of turning $10 into $50 to prepare for the upcoming holiday gaming season.

Oh yeah, for those interested (most of AZ Melty), AH3 is scheduled for release 1/13/11. While that's neither Winter 2010 or Q4 2010, at least we have a release date. A New Game is Advent. I'm giggling like a little school girl at the very thought of this. :psyduck:

It's pretty easy to see when my thought process has completely degenerated to nothingness. :psyduck: And I'm glad we got kicked out at 2:30 otherwise I would have overstayed my welcome again. I like the idea of having our own stream and whatnot and possibly streaming other games we might happen to play. AH3 this January. :toot:

I'm so hype for AH3 after watching it at SBO. Sooooo unbelievably hype.

Though the best part was watching the 3S/SFIV fanboys getting hype for AH3 - we bought the nicovideo stream at arcade in a box.

"Oh shit, go pajama Girl! Get those manbos!" Was possibly the best thing uttered. XP

Why are you so concerned about overstaying your welcome? Trust me, if you were, you would know.

Besides, I was tired and wanted to go to bed, and everyone else looked tired (or at least were playing like they were), so anyone left got thrown out. It isn't very hard. :P

I think I'm over whatever my problem is. A number of concerns I have are valid (man, some of the stuff I'm doing is more stale than moldy bread)... but I'm not exactly sure how to address that. Furthermore, I think I'm going to try to stream out of Windows and see what happens. The program I am using for handling for overlays for whatever reason randomly drops frames and FLME does not take kindly to that. Also, I probably should buy a mic stand.

Sam you need a ride? I guess I could help you out since you said I could crash at your place (if that's still ok) after tomorrow night's gathering. You're somewhere on Baseline right? If that's still on, I forgot to mention that my shift on Sunday starts at 2 pm, so I might be hanging around until I need to leave if that's not a problem. :| But if we crash late (likely), then it'll almost be time for me to leave or kinda close to it by the time I finally get up. I keep thinking about early release since I'll actually be on my normal production schedule, but I really don't think I should since I need to actually get used to sitting there for 8 hours receiving calls. Granted we're told that Sunday is the least busiest day of the week, but still. Otherwise, I'll try to make the most out of my ONE day weekend again. :-\

Ok, so early release is RANDOM as all hell. It's a first come, first serve basis. But here's how it goes lately.Yesterday I applied for it before I went on lunch (halfway through my shift), and they approve my request.....10 minutes before my shift ends. So I'm thinking, wtf is the point of that? They should have just seen that there was only 10 minutes left on my shift and declined it instead. So today I apply for it again, right as I begin my shift, and I get it 3 hours before my shift ends. wtf It's kinda odd because the office still looked pretty busy when I left. So yeah, ER may be convenient, but the hours I don't work are getting cut from my paycheck, so I shouldn't spam it. :psyduck: I suppose that since tomorrow's Friday and HOPEFULLY people would rather be doing something fun that doesn't involve calling our tech support line, it shouldn't be as busy so I should stay for my full shift.

H-F, I may be cranky and irritable lately, but I would like to get some 1v1 time against you over at my place soon. Or you can host, doesn't matter to me. What times are good for you?
Was wondering where you were last week. Does this mean melty haus is open again? My work days are Wed-Sun, 2-10:30 pm (unless I get released early, like today), so that means my days off are Mon-Tue. I may or may not be at the session this Saturday, but we'll see. But yeah, as stated above I can apply for ER, but I really have no control over when I get released and it really depends on how early I apply for it since it's first come, first serve.

: COD3player October 02, 2010, 11:55:40 AM
If you'll have more fun working on your toilet and playing Valkyria Chronicles 2 all night, don't let us stop you. :V

Early release was being handed out like candy yesterday. I got mine earlier than expected, and while I was talking to one of my co-workers while he was still on lunch break, he files for it and gets it three minutes later. :slowpoke: I suppose I'll wait until after my lunch break (usually between 6-7) to apply for ER and if I get it, I'll show. But if I get approved merely 10 minutes before my shift ends, then I probably won't. I'm waiting to apply for it until after lunch break so that way I get at least half my shift's worth of staffing time. x_X

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick October 04, 2010, 12:22:39 PM
And what time was that? :V
Someone had typed something into my IRC client at 2:31 AM, and I went out into the living room at 2:36 AM, by which point everyone was gone.

Which really should not surprise me, since that's when the previous sessions have ended, roughly.

There's no way I could host during the week, though -- I usually try to be in bed by 8-9 PM because I have to be up for work absurdly early. :|

I guess I should host something on Mondays, but I think I would have the tolerance only around major tournaments. The problem with me is that I don't even have anything to tune up at this point

I'm up for playing Thursday (tomorrow) late afternoon and evening I believe. I will be hosting at the Melty Haus for that. Dunno what other people think, but since Will and Carlos are going to be gone for their grandfather's cremation this weekend, I might skip weekend practice again if Duppy hosts. Next weekend I should be up for playing. I have even more F-Hisui tricks to play with.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player October 07, 2010, 10:14:38 AM
So you'll be hosting at Melty Haus later today? Cool. I'll put in my ER request between 7 and 8 and I'll head over when I get out (if they approve that soon). Worst case scenario, I get out at 10:30 when my shift ends but either way since I'm in the area, I'll be passing by the Melty Haus for some matches before I head home.

GGs last night everyone. Sorry if I was getting tight Choco. Thankfully playing random select matches with Carlos was enough for me to loosen up. I'm the best C-SAkiha from now. :V

Troubling news, I have once again joined the ranks of the unemployed because 2Wire released me today since I wasn't meeting my metrics. I guess it's no big deal. I was getting tired of dealing with AT&T's bullshit anyhow and the dumb customers who refuse to cooperate. So that means I'll no longer be able to attend sessions in the middle of the week. I'll be at Dippy's tomorrow however, or every weekend until I find another job. For now I'll just keep pursuing the opportunities at Stream. I'll spam Greg's phone until I can speak to him directly. If anything, they should take my persistence as a good sign.

You can also try doing 41236C during your dash so that the game doesn't store any of the 6 inputs from the dash. That's how I would do it. Also how'd you like my C-S.Akiha? lol H-Roa's 236C is tragic.

Also, what are people's plans for next weekend -- are they leaving the tournament early and going somewhere else, or are they staying up there all day?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

I probably won't get my schedule until training begins. But yeah, most of us are pretty much working at the same place now. Guess we'll see how scheduling works out. As for next weekend, I'm not sure what I'll be doing after the tourney since it's so early in the day. If we're carpooling, it more or less depends on what everyone else wants to do I suppose.

: Tempered October 29, 2010, 11:01:24 PM
well if I can get a ride ill go and check it out and try to bolster/rep the scene. but Sub 8 man tournies aren't fun :<.

And unitl further notice,  you guys can contact me at this number 602-6877344.

I imagine well probably end up going to dippys afterwards for a few hours. I know Sam cant go and we expressing interest in playing some games tomorrow after work... I think.

Ok so I was wrong. It looks like I'm the closest one to the tourney. I suppose if it's me, Tempered, and Ryd (not sure about Choco), then Tempered could get a rid from Ryd, they head to my place, then I drive the rest of the way? Just remember that this is at 1 pm so plan to leave accordingly.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd October 29, 2010, 11:20:15 PM
Uh...I live all the way next to Avondale/Tolleson.  I can pick up Tempered if necessary, but I'll definitely be collecting gas money or something from people if I end up driving all over town and back twice in one day.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player October 29, 2010, 11:43:23 PM
Well I'm in North Phoenix, which is like half an hour away from the tourney. And I'm half an hour away from Tempered's which means I'm the halfway point and I can take everyone from there. If this is all too complicated and more trouble than it's worth, I'll sit out.  :|

Looking at the recent activity, we're hogging up all the post feed. I wish this thread were more active at times other than the day before something is supposed to go down. :-\
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Discussion is kind of lacking, but I figure you guys have better things to do than listen to my findings from fucking around with characters.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player October 30, 2010, 12:48:09 AM
So what are the plans? I'm getting ready to call it a night.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd October 30, 2010, 12:59:12 AM
If Tempered can't get a ride, I'll pick him up.  Choco or Dan should hopefully be heading down though (MB and GG, one of them should show, right?), so I'm hoping it won't be necessary.

Thats what character forums are for :V. Just give me a call up cause Choco said he might go, and it seems he will be up by then by how early he went to sleep.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd October 30, 2010, 03:03:50 AM
Give me a call around 11 if you need a ride.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

blargh, I have some errands to run and I'm not sure I'll be finished by the time the tourney starts. If I'm not there, I'll see you guys at dippy's later today if you're all planning on going. Same time as usual? 5-6?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd October 30, 2010, 10:50:07 AM
I'll probably come home and crash for a few hours after and show up around 7, but if dinner plans start to happen, someone should feel free to give me a call.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

I can swing by and pick you up.

If I don't answer the door when you come by, I'm fucking my waifu (and by that I mean taking a nap). The neighbors have been a bit skittish lately so just call and it should wake me up (ok I also have an alarm set but I like to plow through those).

Or come into the backyard and knock on the bedroom window. You'll just have to watch out for the death lolis.

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd November 03, 2010, 09:21:21 PM
I was more thinking along the lines of getting solo-time on a setup wired to a computer and making a few clips demonstrating block strings, how fast they guard break, and my fun combo.  But hey, if you want to eat a 12k+ setup in one of our matches, I won't say no  :V
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick November 03, 2010, 10:44:23 PM
The problem with recording on my current setup is that the HDD in my current machine isn't very fast (or big) -- I should stick a real HDD in there at some point.

I don't know how practical it would be to do this during the normal session, but I want to get in some more games as we run up to NEC, so if you come by some other time (whenever it makes sense, if it ever does) then it wouldn't be a problem.

When we were riding with Carlos a while back, I KNEW I heard this song somewhere before, and it was just bothering me. Now I know why. :-\ Fair warning, if you click on it, you'll probably wanna close it immediately (or something far worse). Unless you wanna see someone mashing D for 5 minutes. <.<

Who watched CVs for CT that weren't for Litchi or Rachel?  :psyduck:

In more relevant news, I'm starting to get more stable results with guard breaking into 5-7k+ combos thanks to all the string testing I've been doing.  I guess now I should work on baiting H-moon bunkers...
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player November 04, 2010, 09:08:04 AM
More like, who watched CVs for CT PERIOD. Someone on my friends list sent that to me a while back and I hated him for it. I can never hear that song again and be sane (even though it's on my psp). :V

I more than likely won't be able to attend the session this Saturday, so would anyone be up for a little session tomorrow?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

Yeah doesn't look like I'll be able to make it tonight. Dippy do you still have Mondays off? Since I'll be in the area due to job training, perhaps I could stop by for a little bit if you'd like to prepare for NEC? My training ends at 3.

Sorry to reply to this late, but yeah if you want to come by Monday that would be fine. You won't be able to stay very late, since I have work the next morning but I doubt you want to stay that long either.

If Tempered wants to come, bring him.

You're within walking distance of Stream so 5 am ain't so bad. I'm trying to get up at 4 am. :psyduck: I haven't been doing a good job of it lately either. I'll try to knock myself out within the next hour or so.

Hey Dippy, for tomorrow, do you have a wireless or any kind of internet connection that I can borrow? I was thinking of hauling my PS triple over and grinding (ie. raging) in some Black Ops whenever I'm not playing Melty. Or if anyone wants to try it out and grind for me (ie. ruin my stats). :psyduck:
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick November 12, 2010, 04:48:37 PM
RARRR BLACK OPS IS NOT MELTY

You can't run around and pretend you're Ryougi knifing everyone like you could in MW2.

Are you trying to lagbot that shit on the wireless? Yeah; I have my PS3 here so a swap (as long as it's a fat PS3) should be easy.

So F-Akiha gets 4-5k (depending on if you catch with 5A or 5B) off an aerial guard break from something as simple as 421A (knot), 5A/B 5C 4C air combo :psyduck:  Unfortunately, she doesn't have any real options for getting fancier off a corner break unless you broke them way the fuck up in the air and have time to set & hold a pit, throw out a knot, and still have time to catch.

Choco's H-V.Sion, but he was at around 50% health at the guard break.  5.4k damage done before I even got into the air combo.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: COD3player November 28, 2010, 01:12:44 PM
So he was there? ??? A rare occurrence. I wonder what his reaction was. :psyduck:
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd November 28, 2010, 01:57:35 PM
Much the same as anyone's non-ragequit response would be to that kind of bullshit.  It's retarded that F-Akiha can guard break into a setup that does enough raw damage to kill anyone except Archetype Earth from full health, and that's coming from the one who threw all the pieces together.  Worst part is, that shit still exists in CC.  The damage will have been toned down a little from the near-universal damage nerf, but I'm not sure of the magnitude since none of the Japanese F-Akihas go for that kind of thing.  Pretty sure it'll still be around 10k raw instead of the 13-14k it does now; from what I've seen, knots still do around 1.4k, and it looks like they still don't prorate at all seeing as the unblockable setup does just as much damage in CC as it does in AA.  It'll still be death for anyone that can't escape it since nobody should be eating a guard break in the corner from full health.

You can't go in there like that. You gotta represent AZ! :slowpoke: If we started our new jobs a little later, then we might have been able to go. But as of right now, we have to be in on Saturday. There's a lot of stuff we didn't know about until recently.

Yeah I had your number saved from before and I remember that it worked fine, but when I verified it with Choco, somehow it was one number off. Which is kinda weird because I can't remember any reason I'd have to update it. Maybe I'll stop by later this week with Tempered if Streamline doesn't drain all my energy. It takes just one bad call to ruin an entire day. :-\

Sorry about the late update, but I will not be hosting tomorrow as I have my company's holiday party to attend. Completely forgot about it until today. ;_; (Free food, free booze, free money; can't complain too much.)

However, if someone like Tempered hosts tomorrow I should be able to drop by around 10-11PM or so and get a chance to push some buttons.

: Ryd December 10, 2010, 04:04:08 PM
2 3 reps so far, not sure how many more are possible.  That concept opens the door to an easier 4-5k followup off the fuzzy though.  :prinny:

The bitch is in timing the pit release.  Too soon and 2C won't catch or 2A won't even hit, too late and the pillar doesn't combo.

Edit: Goddamn you Tempered, now I'm going to end up practicing this shit all night.

Edit2: So it seems a single rep might be best in terms of risk of dropping:reward ratios, with 1 rep variation doing 4948 and 2 reps being 5007 (V.Sion); single rep allows for a different combo that 2 reps pushes you out too far to do.

And V.Akiha is a bitch that forces me to use 5C instead of 2C, but nets me 500 more damage.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

blargh, looks like I'm working both Christmas day AND the day after. And it's not holiday pay or overtime either, it's regular time.

Tempered, check your stream email. I think almost our entire team has to work the day after Christmas because apparently they didn't get enough volunteers. :|

Don't feel bad, I have to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day too.

But I am getting 2.5x overtime for it, so don't feel too bad.

I figured we would be playing here... but what the hell do I know. The Chinese place is closer to Melty Haus...

Whatever people want to do, really.

Talking to Tempered about it, the thought would be to go eat first and then play whereever. Don't know if anyone has scheduling issues with that, though.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.

So, what's the plan?  Seems to me the easiest thing would be to meet at MH since I've no idea where the place is, then go to dinner, then wherever.  Either way, I probably won't make it to that end of town till 6.

So I missed this last weekend's meetup and will probably miss this weekend's as well (if there is one) since it's Christmas and all (and I'm working that day + the day after). But, from what I could find in our scheduling system, no one in our office is scheduled to work on New Year's day. So if that stays, is anyone down for a meetup on New Year's Eve? Of course, this is assuming we don't get voluntold to work on New Year's day, because anything our team manager's tell us automatically supersedes whatever the system tells us.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick December 20, 2010, 11:08:06 AM
I have to work New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Profound sadness, etc..

You didn't miss much, H-F. The buffet was kind of wack and all you missed was Tempered and I installing some new technology from Troll Innovations and me getting EXPOSED in F/UC.

I know I'm not the only person not doing anything Christmas Day, so us sadlifes should do something, even if it doesn't involve videogames at all.

Happy New Year guys.

Tempered, I've been meaning to ask, is it alright if I stop by your place tomorrow after work to pass the time? I get off work at 6 and my dad is flying in at like 8:40 or something. I figured I'd be using too much gas to go home after my shift only to head back to the airport. Hit me up on aim or something.

Not sure if anyone feels like meeting up later, but if so, I'm anxious for some MB since I haven't played it since I last met up with everyone here. I may have plans later, may not. We'll see.

: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Akujiki January 05, 2011, 04:33:50 PM
HF becoming e-famous I see.

Question for F-Moon users, do you just buffer 236 for shield counters?  Still trying to get used to not having auto-counters, but given how shield-happy I've been I want to be able to take advantage of the counter if I have one.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd January 05, 2011, 04:53:34 PM
I input it when I see something connect with the shield.  Also, you can special cancel the shield, which may be a better option than doing the counter.  For example, Sacchin/Akiha 623A if people try to chicken block after a shield or to catch weird aerial approaches.  I'm not sure what options Roa has, but you can experiment.

Leeching off someone else's internet right now, but my house is still under construction. With any luck, they'll be finished installing the wood in my room and I can move back in later today and get my internet access back. Tried playing Blue Tops earlier on my cousin's connection to pass the time, but not only is his sensitivity really low and he plays with the controller vibrate function on, his wi-fi is balls.

Alright guys, I just wanted to discuss what's going on this Saturday. So there's going to be a final GG session at the Melty Haus this weekend. But also, this weekend is the first weekend after AH3's release. I get the feeling that it's going to be PACKED since it's the final GG meetup. Personally, I would rather meet up at dippy's because there's a guarantee that there will be one dedicated AH3 setup (2, if I receive my copy by then) and a stream that's already set up while not having to worry about fire hazards. And AH3 is probably going to be the only game I play that day. Just saying. If most of you guys would prefer to do things differently, then I'll roll with it. But those are my thoughts.

@Tempered - assuming I head back out there later tonight (if not I'll let you know), I suppose I'll just stop by the MH and pick you up from there and we'll stick to our original plan. I spoke to Sam and he said maybe, because he said he'd pick up juicebox from the airport at 6. So we'll see.

Time off officially granted.  :nyoro:
How do you check if time off is officially granted? Is it in RTA? I requested Friday off but it doesn't say "no schedule" but rather it has a few things that's listed on the RTA page for that day. It looks different from what I saw yesterday though.

Soooooooooooooooo...when are we leaving?

The earliest you and Choco can be ready.  I'd like to start collecting people between 12-2 to avoid traffic, but I'll go with whatever times are best for you guys.

I like how half this trip was planned on MBread and the other half was planned on HCancel.

I'm actually really posting this just to make sure I didn't completely break the forum.

Gas came out to about $30 a head.  Negligible amount of spare change over, but I'm not going to hold it against anyone if they shortchange me 17 cents or whatever it was.

@Ryd - I'll pay you back this Friday or Saturday. Do I owe for the past trip, too? I can't remember.

@everyone - I started a facebook group so we can coordinate better. These forums are fun, but let's face it. Most everyone is on facebook by now, and not everyone checks this thread all the time. I'm going to start hosting 1-2 times per month from now on. There's an event to RSVP for, too. I'd appreciate if you guys could make it out for the round robin :)

Posting here because posting on Homing Cancel is currently borked:

If people want to come by tomorrow, they're more than free to. If they don't want to, I'll be here... alone...  :gonk:

No, this will not be posted on Facebook.

There are a LOT of newbies with potential at these conventions as well as the occasional player already involved in the community. Even if you're not a big fan of anime, I urge you to attend and help some of these newbies get more involved in the more hardcore fighting game community.

Hopefully I'll see a few of you there.

ill try to make it but not having my own transportation and it being in tucson makes it hard.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Ryd March 16, 2011, 06:16:59 PM
Doubt I'll be going.  GG + MB is very appealing, but being on different days + paying venue each day + Tucson is quite a turnoff.

I work Friday and Saturday during the day, so I'm out. :|

Ill still be hosting this sat if anyone is still interested as I more than likely wont be able to make it to chocos. Get hype for space ticks and jump scares.

Hosting tomorrow like always.

I really wish you guys went to the Con-Nichiwa event. I would have loved to meet people who know how to play this game.

Instead I ended up just raping everybody with my shitty, rusty C-Ryougi. ;[ I think I dropped like one game the entire tourney.

There WERE a few people who knew what a bnb was, and had general, solid mechanics from other fighters, but otherwise it was just a bunch of noobs. :(

I had no ride. nobody else wanted to go. Oh well.

Hey Phoenix, come to Tucson soon pl0x.

Alright my az friends, question...Who is leaving to go to evo on friday morning, and coming back sunday night or any other time sunday?  Next question if we're going to the toast, who is driving?
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick July 14, 2011, 04:26:21 PM
Right now it looks like H-F and I are going to Evo, but I'm leaving Thursday morning for Vegas (or earlier?!) and leaving Monday morning, so that's out.

The trip out to SoCal is more interesting. Currently I have Ryd and Choco going, and we leave Saturday afternoon (when I get off of work) and coming back after the tournament Sunday. Probably just end up spending Saturday night in a motel of some sort; bell has offered some space but he lives quite a distance away.

Hopefully we can get something going. Ill probably be going for other games either way.

AZ scene getting ready for MBAACC release! So, friends, should we stay in this thread, or is it a good time to birth another one? I mean, the last message on the thread was from Tempered like half a year ago! Gosh!

I'm inclined to make a new thread and maintain it strongly.
: Re: AZ - Welcome to DESERT COAST.
: Dipstick December 29, 2011, 02:50:52 PM
Start another thread before I do.

You don't want me to start the thread. You'll regret it.
