lol kaph33n I was gonna buy that board you jerk. jk man, I hope I can make it next time.
glad I snatched it up then! been wanting a VS board for a long time. It will motivate me to get my control panel finished. I am thinking of doing 2 player 6 button setup with jlfs and obsfs.
I looked into how much it would cost to get an arcade mbaa setup going... not cheap :| just the game is 2500, plus you need a naomi setup. I guess I should just buy a used PS2 to play the game! I don't think I'll be doing it again this Saturday, but we'll see. Maybe Saturday after next if not. If I haven't gotten myself a ps2 by then I'll try to do some training mode in the emulator. Thanks again to everyone who showed up. Hopefully the turn out will be as good or better next time, we were saying if 8 or more people are there next time we should do a single elim bracket. I remembered that my roommate has an old 19" crt tv that we could use. So either replace the 13" we used last time or maybe get a third setup going.
After playing against people who actually know what they're doing in this game I've figured out that the most important aspect of this game is the mobility and the okizeme derived from that. Unlike in SF2 or most capcom games where you can just DP everything
. Correct me if I'm wrong! They call this kind of spacing in SF footsies, but in mb it's more like "airsies." The games I watched you guys playing and the ones I fought in were so different than the ones I had been doing against my friend Dan. Both Dan and I are noobs in mb and we both come from capcom games. Seeing you guys play like flipped a switch in my head or something. Watching match vids is now making a lot more sense to me instead of just being entertaining.
