this guy is so bad lol

lol @ youtube professors

Any good stuff for Donovan?

[ckosra]

Can someone tell me what the hell this game is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKYvonRsYco

Also anybody interested in some SSF2THDR Saturday, I've never really played ST until now and could use somebody to teach me.

[JeffM]

haha that game is kinnikuman muscle...  funny ass game~ i remember someone who has a super where he does a rolling death cradle, rising up into the air as he does it, and powerbombs the guy down as he falls into the ground. this vid looks like a newer version though

hd remix is great, i dont know too much but i can teach you a little bit of ryu and balrog

[Light#]

That game is Kinnukiman Muscle Grand Prix 2. I use to play the older version with a friend of mine, but that version was the previous one-console-only release on the PS2. It's called the same but has MAX instead of 2. It's greatest wrestling-themed fighting game ever. They got it down perfect in my opinion.

[JeffM]

anyone else coming tomorrow?

oh yea ct_warrior i need the stick back for HD remix :/ actually i just need the 360 pcb guts in it, ill just swap it out with a regular pc pad or a ps2, so you can use it again next week or something

[Nandeyanen]

I might come tomorrow. Trying to figure out if I want to go to work and go to sfsu, or take a day off and go to svgl.

Let us know ASAP, we need a lagless PS2 to PS3 adapter (which you have IIRC) to play SSF2HDR

[JeffM]

oh i have one of those pelican-type ones that i can bring (it was made especially for the ps2 pad that im using on my t5 hori stick- im bringing that as well)

OH ok, I thought based on your previous post that you did not have any way to use a stick with the PS3. What time you showing up?

[Light#]

I plan on going @ ~12pm-1pm.

[JeffM]

OH ok, I thought based on your previous post that you did not have any way to use a stick with the PS3. What time you showing up?

o~ my mistake if i did say anything like that. ill come by around 2pm, possibly earlier

Not really your mistake more just a misunderstanding on my part.  I guess I will be heading down to the arcade at 1:00 p.m.

[Shizuka]

I'll show up tomorrow, probably be there around 2pm, most likely after I wake up and shower and leave. Oh also can I borrow a PS1 game off someone for a week so that Jeff can put HDloader on my memory card.

Sure I got a game you can use.

[JeffM]

heh i got kinnikuman muscle on my computer, if only my laptop was 3.0ghz+ we could play it on 60fps

[Shizuka]

I showed up late but nobody was there :< so I tried asking the administrative lady to let me in and she wouldn't (big surprise). I really need to get a cell phone lol. I guess ill see you all next week or something.

Really sorry about that man. Basically what happened was we got tired of waiting in the arcade and decided to go up to the apartment, believing that you had a cellphone and would be able to call us when you arrived to be let up. If I would have known that was not the case I would have stuck around until closing at least. In any case I have nothing going on next Saturday, so I am definitely up for hosting again next week if people are interested.

[Light#]

Hey Jeff. Is that MGP2 or MAX that you have? If it's 2, can you hook me up with a copy? 

Also, I forgot what I wanted to show you. If it's important please remind me.

[JeffM]

Sounds good, I really should learn Tekken 5/6 since I could play it against people here everyday if I wanted. I finally looked up what Shin's "faint" move does, they are small unblockable fireballs that do no damage but add to your opponents dizzy modifier. Apparently Shin's matchup against Raoh is pretty bad, so I really need to step up my game with him (I think learning blockstrings would be a good start, especially because getting guard break isn't that hard in HnK).

lol @ Bison with his photoshop editing skills.

Here's some info for MGP2 that will help:

The basic mixup is attack/throw, since low hits can be guarded just by blocking. Low hits are still pretty good for some characters, since you can use them to punish throw attempts. This is a great punish for Kinnukiman since he cancel his low hit into Megaton Punch and gets a free throw cuz Megaton induces heavy stun.

Even though the game's mixup is 50/50, there's ways to bait mixup to make it fresh. The game is pretty straightforward, yet it's pretty fun. IMO of course. If you have questions I can try my best to answer them for you, or at least point you to the right direction.

Looks like I need to choose a secondary character, since I try to play Bob in T6. IDK who to choose though. When DR came out, I use to play the bear.

[Light#]

I probably won't make the next session.

[Sarsapari]

Dinur let's play Rumble Fish sometime.

[Light#]

Sure. Rumble Fish was kinda fun, though playing it now would be a disappointment, since there's no port of 2.

I kinda regret not giving RB2 much of a chance in the arcades, since it was fun. I just spent my money playing DR and MBAC instead since I thought a port would eventually come out.
