Melty Vegas and Evo Thread

Ask and ye shall receive.

Evidently, this is a monthly screening group, not the convention that comes yearly with the same name.  (My sister laughed at me yesterday when I asked if there was a convention coming up here T_T)  The admission is free (YAY ) so don't worry about that.

I can provide 2 TV's and one PS2, as long as there's room in your car, Lolisauce, which there probably isn't, lol.

4 people...that's pretty cool. So, who's the fourth one? Is the person beastly? Either way, still cool.

The fourth would be my younger brother, who mains C-WLen and whom you've met once or twice before.  I wouldn't say he's beastly, but I'm harsh on him because a) he beats me a lot, by range most of the time, and (b) he never practices ever, which pisses me off because I practice nearly every day.  Also he's my younger brother, so I tend to be harder on him most of the time since I KNOW he could be worlds better.  Goddamn Maplestory.

He's also more antisocial than I am, which means we'll probably never see him on Melty Bread.

[Prinny]

Just to re verify, BB:CT tourney entry: 1 dollar, Washington, dead president, etc.

He's also more antisocial than I am, which means we'll probably never see him on Melty Bread.

Give Loli enough time with him. If he could get my Hyperbolic Time Chamber training ass to stop training for world domination and post on melty for 5 mins, Loli will get your bro to eventually post at least once.

First, I haven't been playing Maplestory, so, no.

Second, yeah I'm antisocial when it comes to most things but since I had to make an account here for notifications on this thread, figured I'd might as well use it.

Also get better fighting against range or you shall fail forever.

Anyway, you can bet I'll be practicing after tonight for several reasons: new combos, to learn better tactics, and I'm looking forward to AM6.

Oh, I just realized I forgot to go over counterhit comboing with you, but that'll come after I see some more progress on your okizeme mixup.  I also forgot to tell you that you want the basketball to hit AFTER your slider when you do the 7j.[c] land 623a.  You want this because the extra blockstun from having basketball hit second will allow you to have safe recovery on 623a (normally it's slightly unsafe on block).  With that in mind, you pretty much never want to use 623a on a blocking opponent unless you either have a basketball coming down or you will push them into a ground ice that's just behind them.  623b is completely safe though, which is why mixing up between 623b and 623[ b] is so effective.  In any blockstrings or okizeme, utilize 623[ b] to surprise the enemy with low (2a) or throw (624a/c) when they're expecting high.  Use it too often and they'll start mashing 5a though.  We'll get to more advanced oki gimmicks (like crossup and double crossup shenanigans) after you get your fundamental meaty mixups down.

Bait worked.

Also, Jeebus that pic is old.  I must of taken that screencap like 6 years ago.  I'm surprised you have it.

  You're a thousand years too soon to be giving me advice!

[Prinny]

You're a thousand years too soon to be giving me advice!

OK you two, break it up. There are too few of us here in the Dustbowl that play MB at a serious level, or want to for that matter. We already have enough problems with EC, CAN, MEX, EU, and maybe even JPN and KOR if they can show up for EVO. We all have to learn as much as we can before the reckoning that is EVO. Regardless of age.

[Level 0]

Whoa, holy crap - Prinny with the seriousness.

...But yeah, you've got a point.

That made me smile. You just rode in on Pegasus while wielding Gutt's sword.

[LoliSauce]

Okay, I'll prolly be a little late to the anime vegas thing, cuz I needed to rage after my shitty work day tonight and I ended up chilling with Adonis and Joenell till like 4am playing melty and whatever else.  Whenever I do get there, I'll have two TVs and setups with me.  Joenell has shown some surprising improvement in his okizeme game already, but still needs to practice more to get his execution up.  By Evo we may have another serious contender to bring along.

[Vagabond]

Other than looking like complete fucking losers at Ihop, It was kinda whack how we just up and left like that. If I could've had it my way, then we would've stayed longer, but since Sammy was our ride and he was low on gas we had to bounce. So, I apologize for that on his behalf.

Nah, it's understandable.  I could have given you guys rides though, if you wanted to stay.  I drive around a lot normally for work and shit, so driving around is no biggie for me (plus don't you live kind of close to me?).  If you ever need a ride to/from an event or hangout or anything that I'm going to, just let me know and I got you.

If you guys can get in touch with Paine for sometime next weekend he can hook you up with those disks, but I don't expect there to really be anyone to hang out with next weekend.  John, Adonis, Joenell, and I are all going to be out for the weekend at AM6 in cali, and Jay said he has work.  Paine usually has at least one day on the weekend off though, so getting in touch with him should be easy enough.  Both John and I can get you his number if you need it.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it this time around, I was still working on my wife's Valentines day gift.  The things you do to let your loved ones know that they matter.

Anyway, how'd the whole thing go?  I heard the event was going to be moved or something to that effect, right?  What happened?

Basically all the guys who wanted to play BBCS or MBAA went over to Jay's place (don't think you know him), and hung out there till like 2am.  There was one new guy I'd never met before that was actually interested in playing MBAA, and had even played it back on MBAC (or maybe MBR?).  Also, Sammy was doing surprisingly well for just his second day playing.  He was still hitting his Reis bnbs that he learned last week pretty reliably. 

[Level 0]

BB:CS?  You don't mean BB:CT?  Damn, I would have liked to see CS in person, but I'm sure I'll see it eventually.

Also, Sammy was doing surprisingly well for just his second day playing.  He was still hitting his Reis bnbs that he learned last week pretty reliably. 

Good to hear.  I wonder if he'll show up on here soon.  Also Vagabond, are you getting a better feel for the game?

I gotta say, this is pretty exciting.  Melty scene go!

CS.  It's basically arcade emulated on pc or something along those lines.

[Vagabond]

Also Vagabond, are you getting a better feel for the game?

Yes and no.

Yes, because of what I read and watch and no, because I can't practice much.

[LoliSauce]

Adonis, Joenell, and John - Since AM6 was a bust, what do you guys say to going to Burnt Toast 2?  It prolly won't be as big of an attendance and melty isn't the only thing going on, but some people invited us to go since we didn't make AM6.  I initially wasn't planning on going because I was going to try and save up from here till Evo, but I'm willing to make an exception to make up for last weekend.

Vanguard - Did you ever get those discs from Paine?  If not, I've got a few on hand for you guys.

To everyone - Next weekend I'm open for hosting at my place or going to wherever.  Lemme know what you're all up to so we can get something going. 

[Prinny]

Yo, Vegas Melty Crew...how y'all doin?

My main group the Hakkenden have taken an interest in Melty and would like to lvl up. I suggest that our two groups form an alliance for the meantime so that way Vegas has a massive force of Melty players.

You guys have experience, which is what we need. In return, we have numbers. Each member wants to learn a different character. This could potentially mean that our community would have alot of Melty beasts running around and we would have lots of variety so no one can catch us off guard.

I'm gonna post the link here to our main website, let us know what you think. If the two groups do come together, we'll have to schedule gatherings so that way we can get as much players as possible.

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fighters_Utopia/

Lolisauce: Please contact Paine regarding this weekend. If we luck out, we could have a large gathering by this weekend.

[Emperor Paine]

Alright hookerz I've decided to join this forum.
This makes probably the 8th or 9th forum I'm in.
So please I ask that you don't expect me to always be on or remember to check here.

[Level 0]

Burnt Toast sounds tasty, I'll have to see if I can afford it.  They'll probably be like "you better win some fucking money" and I'll be like "..."

Is this the same deal as before?  $30 for gas?  (I saw entry will be $12 - 7 to get in and 5 per game, BUT THE ONLY GAME I CARE ABOUT IS MELTY  )
I know if I can't make it, the same will go for Oni, so here's hoping.

This weekend is probably a no-go for me, my older brother is supposed to be moving, so I'll be helping him.  If that changes, you'll know because I'll be 421-ing my way over.  (Kouma DASH)

Combining groups sounds good to me, if my vote counts I say DO IT.

THIS.


And Paine, good to see you on here.  You shouldn't have to be on here all the time - that's what watching topics is for.

Hi everyone! Melty scrub here! I am probably going to stick with Ciel as a main until I find someone just to my liking.

Who went to a tournament? Did you go Prinny or LoliSauce? Devastation, was that it? What tournaments are going on soon in Las Vegas or out of state? I need to catch up on what is going on.

Yo, good to see you get an account.  Check some match videos if you're looking for a character that'll make you say wow.  With the massive diversity in the cast, there's definitely a character for everyone out there.

There was a tourney last weekend that Prinny, Adonis (Lv.0), Joenell (Oni), and I were all going to go to.  I had car problems though, so we didn't end up being able to make it.  Other than that, we might be going to another tourney called Burnt Toast 2 next month in cali, depending on a few things.  Prinny will be going to Devastation, but I don't remember when that is cuz I don't plan on attending.

[Prinny]

We kinda owe Bell since AM6 was also his birthday...

3/20/2010. Tourney on saturday. I need that Melty practice...for now, put me down for yes. There are a couple questions though that will determine my final answer (questions two and three are for you Lolisauce):

1. The hotel fee is 105 bucks a night. If the Vegas Melty crew are going, are all four of us gonna share a room then we compete for the beds?
2. The tournament officially begins on saturday. However, knowing that this is a tourney and there's usually pre and post tourney hype, how long do we plan to stay?
3. What time shall we head out to the tournament? Usual time like before? That would help me out since I wouldn't have to use any vacation time.
4. For the Hakkenden, since there is gonna be Blazblue Continuum Shift, Guilty Gear Accent Core, and Melty Blood, how many members are interested and capable of heading out there?

I know that there's still alot of time before the tourney actually starts, but I think it would be best to get these questions out of the way first...

[Macc]

Yo fools this is the Macc.  Some of you know me, some may not.  This matters not.  What does matter is that I play Rouma & Roa ().  I like all the usual things (cotton candy, unicorns, anatomically correct barbie dolls, dirty looking crack fiends).  I just started playing some MBAA so looking to maybe get a little better for Evo and what nots.  Doozo yoroshiku.

@ : What is this BBCS action being played on?  PC, cab, or modded arcade board?  Also would this just be a Saturday thing cause I would not be able to pull off another Friday off?


A side note, but does anyone here actively use shield in MBAA?  I got some questions about shielding multi hit attacks.

Yes.
