Yeah, good times. Now to decide how much effort to put into learning Kohaku...

Hey Id, what're the odds of setting up another tourney?

Uploaded some videos from Friday. I'm still uploading a lot more as we speak (I've uploaded less than half the matches I've recorded so far).

They'll be up on this playlist: http://www.youtube.com/user/FFAUnited?feature=mhsn#g/c/6C1B36701C2C930E

Check out that channel for tournament videos as well.

Yeah, there will be another tournament in about a month. I might do a sort of West Toast kind of thing where we hold the tournaments ~once a month and have Melty, Guilty, BlazBlue, Arcana, and maybe HnK and VS.

We could do something like:

Guilty Gear+BlazBlue+Hokuto no Ken - Saturday
Melty Blood+Arcana Heart+Immaterial&MP - Sunday

Idk, just throwing that out there.

We have had 80+ person tournaments at the arcade before, so we can handle a lot of people. When Arlieth was doing West Toast, he usually would have Saturday be team tournaments and Sunday be Singles. He used to also run Twinkle Star Sprites tournaments, too (which kicks major ass)!

I'll post some stuff on our Guilty Gear thread over at dustloop and see what they think about it.

Hey what's up!

I'm Wonder_Chef, one of the top So Cal Mortal Kombat players.  After talking to Id_asz I decided that I'm going to take some time to learn the game.

I've been wanting to play for a while, but the furthest I got was some training mode on my modded PS2.

I'm still pretty confused and lack knowledge on the game, but I'll try to stop by often to learn.

See you guys soon!

Hey Wonder_Chef.

I found myself going to FFA most friday evenings after work since the game arrived there. More opponents are always welcome.  ;D

You will usually find me using Ryougi and Hisui.

Hey Wonder_Chef! Great to see you around.

What character do you plan on playing as? The game itself is pretty simple once you get around the system mechanics.

I'm going to be recording more casual games this Friday. If you want to eventually see yourself on Youtube, this is the time to play!

How late do you guys think you'll be there on Friday? I have an important work meeting that's likely to start at like 9 pm.... :(

I know the arcade's open until like 2 am, so if everyone's gonna be there really late, I might still try to make it. Otherwise, I'll probably be in over the weekend.

I'm considering Ciel, although, I don't know which moon to choose.  I still have to mess with more characters of course.

There's a lot of stuff I still don't understand about the game, but I'm working on it and messing with some stuff in the training mode of AA for PS2.  Is that worth doing?

I probably won't be able to make it out for a while, but with any luck I'll be starting a new job soon (right next to Japan Arcade) and then I'll be out there all the time for MB and AE.

Hopefully I can make it a few times before then.

Grind combos, grind combos, and practice combos with these settings
- crouching with Random block
- jumping opponent with counter hits on (hit em once and the opponent will fall unable to air recover. Follw up before they hit the ground.)
- crouching, blocking with recover A. (Simulates ppl mashing out during pressure. Useful for practicing frame traps.)

I tend to practice these sitiations the most.

Thanks! That helps a lot. I wouldn't have known about the second two at all.

Mostly though, is the version that I'm using fine for practicing?  I'm more than a little confused about all of that.


This will be my last question since I'm derailing the thread!

The PS2 MBAA works fine for practicing.  The changes that are in CC aren't that significant from the PS2 MBAA & the game is still played relatively the same. 

Also, don't mind populating the thread. I don't mind answering questions, and it makes the thread look lively.  ;D

Well, I'll be heading over there more often soon.

Finally settling down on either F Aoko or C Aoko.  Totally awesome character!

Evo prep is taking a lot of my time, but I'll at least be there on the days that there are MK tournaments.

when do you guys play
<Graven> When you are Ciel, don't try to win, don't even try to do anything. The more you do, the stupider and bigger faggot you become because you're using Ciel.

Yeah, Friday nights are usually good. This last weekend I had to go on Saturday instead - there were a few people there, but not as many as Friday.  I haven't been in on Thursday, yet.

I'll probably be in this Friday.

Crap - I'm out, too. I suddenly got word that two friends from out of town are going to be here, so I need to entertain them. (Unfortunately, they're not arcade-heads... blah) I'll definitely be in next week, though, and I'll definitely aim for next Friday night.

Hey, Ehrik, out of curiosity, you're from out of town, right? It would be great to be able to coordinate a trip (although, not this weekend... :( ) How long are you around?
