NorCal INSTALL: GGAC & MBAA Monthly Ranbat (Season Standings)

[neZ]

maybe cuse we aren't from norcal.. and we have seen some NAC(if anyone from the EC remembers from Kirah's).. so we know what to expect from NAC (sorta)... and reason being.. the character is a fucking joke.. and yes i say that with upmost serious...if you are doing it for fun.. have at it... but if you doing it to be competetive... you better off finding some other character. cuse after some exposure to the character people shouldn't be getting beasted.... eventually people will know long enough how to expose the silliness... but congrats on 2nd

I dunno man, low-tier players know the downsides (And there are a lot) but you can do well if you learn your matchups and just get real fuckin' solid. Maybe that's just me coming from GG, but shit like implying that it's not really viable for competitive play is a sad thing for your game, and tends to be proven wrong by crazy exceptions.

[DJcream]

From what I've seen at the tourney, a lot of people did not know what to expect vs. NAC. Aside whiffing staple pokes, a lot of people were getting hit by random specials - notably EX beam. Shit, in casuals I was getting rolled by EX Bambi. Aside from that, I give a lot of respect to Qaenyin for traveling a shit-ton of miles to give the NorCal scene a nice reality check. Let's not get trolled by this next time.

[Qaenyin]

Qaenyin, is it true you really haven't played like almost at all previous to the tourney? If thats true, then I think there's something wrong with norcal (hint, this is to get you guys mad, to get better, beat me in a tourney I'll show up to next month, in turn makes me want to get better, etc. No hard feelings.) Good shit anyways, too bad I couldn't make it out to see this (plus I hear you're a player of really poor fighting games now) so we could have played some random shit.

I've only played casuals 2 or 3 times since I was at evo, yeah, but I did a lot of combo grinding and shit over the week before norcal install.  But yeah, I'm mostly poverty fighter player now lol, so I'm down with that.  I won't be able to make it to April's ranbat but I'll do what I can to get to May's.  Get hype! 

Also DJCream, you have a valid point.  Although, EX beam is actually a tech punish setup, if it's done properly you can't avoid it, you just have a choice of either risking taking a bunch of chip/getting tech punished by teching or taking like 800ish extra damage by not teching.  EX Deer Taxi vs YAT was honestly psychic dumb luck, as I accidentally reversaled the only move I know of that it can actually punish as a reversal vs kouma.

GL to you guys on improving though, and if you want to PM me with some questions about NAC I can always clarify some of the shit about him if you want.

I have to say though I find it rather hilarious that everyone feels me placing in a tourney is some significant blow to the manhood of northern california that must have excuses made for it... except the people who are actually in northern california.

Someone being a sore loser is one thing, but the Norcal guys were great, took it in stride and I'm sure are gonna come back next time ready to try and kick my ass.  Yet y'all are the ones who feel like they need excuses made for them like they can't do it themselves.  And seeing as how I placed second, not first, they sure as hell can do it themselves.

They're being the better man(men?) here, and the only thing that could even attempt to make em look bad is the way you guys are acting about some of(and not even all of) them losing.

Two thumbs up to norcal for not acting like kids like some of the people in this thread.

shut the fuck up and play a real god damn character you fucking moron

kay

bye

Debate note: It generally looks bad to act like Bill O'Reilly, at least when dealing with remotely intelligent people.

Er, I mean, SHUDDUP AND GO AWAY, I HATE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR!!!oen1!

[Irysa]

Well to give a bit of leeway Qaenyin doesn't exactly have a very nice reputation around here. Some people are kind of just sick of him.

shut the fuck up and play a real god damn character you fucking moron

kay

bye

Wait, so if Master Chibi is Bill O'Reilly, would that make me... Keith Olbermann?

SIR, I do say that your inability to even address the crisis is nothing less to an affront to society. SIR, This goes beyond politics, transcends personalities -- this is about a group of honest people trying to put in honest work to solve this issue, and like a succubus upon society you had to take advantage of their plight and draw every last bit of marrow out of this part of this part of society until there was nothing left but a husk. SIR, for this you deserve nothing but contempt and derision for your actions, and every person should be made aware of your acts so that nobody else should be befallen of such a tragedy wholly caused by you.

And you had the nerve to exploit a cat in the process. A cat! Words can not even describe how offensive this is.

I'm Dipstick, good night, and good luck.

[F9|Chibi]

I want to see how you guys deal with H-Ryougi, hate that bitch.

[dakanya]

fighting gamers operating on dat nigga time

anyways id like to thank our benefactors for hosting and everyone for coming out

i only got like 5~6 hours of sleep in the past 3 days so i'm not gonna write much, i dont like to write much anyways

i am dead tired, i hope everyone had fun. i am salty but whatever i was under the worst possible conditions to play anyways... gotta get rid of those tourny nerves too.

@CT_Warrior: Louise (Zero no Tsukaima)

[CT_Warrior]

Dakanya, I believe I have just lost a dollar.

Mizuki, I'd appreciate it if you could take a picture of your stick, haha.

[F9|Chibi]

lol

I like how you didn't unlock everyone either.

CT you chuck Saturday Night Fever like you're at the disco the moment you get it.

Haha, good shit.

[Tsubasa☆]

lol

I like how you didn't unlock everyone either.

We use magz's PS2 for streaming cause it's always set up already.  And he's a hobag who is too busy winning GG to play MB (he actually did take 1st in GG this month).  We could load up our data, but it was too much effort when we didn't really need anything unlocked.

Playlist for the ranbat matches I recorded. GG's to everybody I played. I was a little disappointed with the venue to be honest, but it was still better than not having a ranbat. Also for the record CT_Warrior and Riotblade owe me $1 each for betting me based on their tremendously flawed powers of observation that Mizuki's stick has a blonde character thats not Louise on it. 

[Nandeyanen]

I want to see how you guys deal with H-Ryougi, hate that bitch.

Why you hatin'?

[DJcream]

GG's to everyone I played. Next time I should play more casuals instead of messing around on 3S and all that other jazz. See y'all next month, 'cause I think wat I really need to work on is just character matchup experience. I'm getting rocked by shit I dunno how to counter.

[F9|Chibi]

I want to see how you guys deal with H-Ryougi, hate that bitch.

Why you hatin'?

I just find her extremely boring and borderline bullshit but right now I'm simply trying to figure out how to fight against her as I don't get to play our Ryougi 'specialists' enough (due to location) and I'd rather not do that at a tournament instead, you know?

[dakanya]

best strat. bunker when she uses her knife.

[F9|Chibi]

[Hazmat]

It was definitely fun yesterday, but watching the recordings made me QQ. I really need to work on pressure strings =/

HATERS GONNA HATE!!
