Dude, I prefer the waffle over the stomped. :wink:

So what is this I hear? Paul said GGPO to one guy, the guy got pissed, and owned him for free? :o

162

Damn thatā€™s hella rough. Iā€™ll remind myself as well if I ever get a camera. :eek:

Waffles ownz. Then again I have realized Chun Liā€™s almost full screen range of her lightning kick super in Third Strike. But the only time I really did that was at SVGL hehe.

163

Iā€™ll try and post up our tourneyā€™s in the tourney boards. But sometimes you just get lazy, know mean? But anyway. GJ to Nick and Paul, you guys did better than me in the standings (I donā€™t understand how they did the rankings since we all lost in the 3rd round of the losers and yet I placed lower, hmm). Anyway, keep practicing up people. And Andre has a new sport bike yaā€™ll. I didnā€™t get a chance to see it. But from what Rob said, it looks sweet. I guess thatā€™s the reason why we havenā€™t seen him in so long. As for Will learning Faust, someone teach him the basics on Faust please. Paul teach JR how to play GGXX with Bridge. Let him learn all his sets and stuff. JC, less of random gravediggers. Last night i wanted to see how your set up was, and that setup might work a few times, but rarely againts top players. Paul, stop doing 236+k into k cause youā€™re leaving yourself too open. Me, I gotta stop being stupid. Nick, needs to know how to FRC. Chris needs to stop relying on Potā€™s Buster, and react more on his heat grab and air-grab super. Joe needs to practice up STā€¦hmm, yeaā€¦ And Rob, well he just needs to shut the fā€¦nm. You can joke around and stuff. But bringing it at workā€¦damn.

Combo, combo, combo. Question with all this talk about posting up our tourneys. How many wants a CvS2, SC2 and GGXX tourney this weekend??? Depending on the turnouts and suggestions, thats how weā€™re going to decide whatā€™s going to happen. I mean, seriously, if we only have 4 people willing with CvS2, it ainā€™t going to happen. SC2 might happen. GGXX, depending on the turnout. But am willing to hold on if we get at least 8. If not, then it would be a waste of time, for everyone. I wanna see 10+ in GGXX, but that ainā€™t going to happen I think. MvC2, donā€™t ask. Tons of scrubtacular people say shit, but donā€™t back it up. But other than that,a I wanna hold a tourney this weekend. Cause we need more practice.

Latersā€¦ :slight_smile:

P.S. What do you guys think of this game play??..Faust is full screen away, and so is Testamentā€¦ Faust throws a blind super out of nowhere (I donā€™t know why :confused: ), his swimming on the ground super. Then out of nowhere Testament does a gravedigger and gets hit? UBER GAME PLAYā€¦:lol: :lol:

P.ssssss. Sorry JC, I just canā€™t forget that part. As long as you donā€™t do it again :).

164

Iā€™ll be down for a GGX2 tourney for sure, Iā€™d also be down for a cvs2 tourney but I donā€™t think that will happen, even if I ran the tourney and it was free Iā€™m not sure how many people would play, Iā€™ll try anyways though. Iā€™m down for a GGX2 tourney regardless of outcome though, even if we have 5 people why not go round robin, itā€™s all in good fun.

As far as my potemkin I need to do a lot of things better, somehow Iā€™ve got to learn to FRC the hammer fall even though itā€™s one of the toughest in the game, I also need to get my wake up games after the ground flop together but I have a much better idea of what works and what doesnā€™t now, I also need to react to Baikenā€™s run with either a command grab or normal grab, potemkin doesnā€™t have a low hit that is fast enough to react on sight for me, I also found out why I couldnā€™t break through the sweep into fireball, I was trying to do the hammer fall way to early. Iā€™m also studying up on Potemkin matchups like Dizzy and Slayer and the others Iā€™m not to familiar with.

165

Is there a GGXX cabinet anywhere in Reno, or are yā€™all meeting at each otherā€™s homes?

166

Whatā€™s up Galzpanic, long time no see, yes we have a GGX2 machine at the Atlantis Casino, thatā€™s where we all play now, they have most of the games including MVC2 and CVS2. Iā€™m in a rush but Iā€™ll talk to you later.

167

sup. Well I doubt Iā€™ll be able to go to any tournies but Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll just randomly stop by the Atl.

168

Dizzy is basically a keep away character, and can also be used as a rush, but I think sheā€™s more effective being turtle. Anyway, this weekend for sure?? Weā€™re having a GGXX and CvS2 and SC2 tourney? Just post up on what yaā€™ll think. And besides, Paul will tell Will the details if weā€™re having one :). Laters

JP

P.S. Iā€™m using Sol now, Dust loop, dust loop, dust loop :slight_smile:

169

LOL Mash on grab. Why you got caught by one??? Anyway, seriously I gave up on Sol. I donā€™t think I can play him well enough and besides, only relying on dust loop sorta killed it. I like him, donā€™t get me wrong, but I control Baiken better than I control Sol. Thatā€™s just me though. In reality I wanna learn Eddie, but thatā€™s just too long for me to do, and Iā€™ve played Baiken in tourney so Iā€™ll just stick with her. Hey Paul, whatā€™s your AIM now?? PKugler03?

JP

P.S. Paul, Rob only lost to 2 people yesterday during casual. Donā€™t think itā€™s gonna be good though I think people are sandbaging and stuff. But he only lost during casuals againts a Slayer player and an Axl player. Whatā€™s good about the Slayer is, he said heā€™s a fiend with Slayer, TP set-ups to combos was the shizznazz from what he said :). The Axl player is the same guy theyā€™re staying with. He said he has good range and counters very well :). Awesome stuff so far from what heā€™s been saying :). Oh he had 5-6 game win streaks :). So weā€™ll see come tourney time though. Are we still all comming to Atlantis and get some practices??

170

Weā€™re having one tonight since we have a tourney tommorow. Everyone must show up dude. I donā€™t want any flakes on this one. We gotta do this since we did horrible in SVGL. Weā€™re better than that :). Anyway back to watching GTO

JP

171

Thanks for the new Av Paul itā€™s even tighter than my Kensou one that was lost during the collapse. Iā€™ll be at the Atlantis about 8pm tonight, I just got home from work and man was today a hot one, I need to cool down.

I keep thinking about how Rob is doing, does he play any matches tonight? Itā€™s also great that he is getting this exposure to other players because heā€™ll return with some golden nuggets of wisdom for us. See you tonight.

172

Hehe Golden Nuggets, wtfā€¦ Anyway, he said heā€™s seeing fiends left to right. Just gotta wait til tommorow though for the tourney, hopefully he does well. GO Go Rob if youā€™re reading this and GTO ownsā€¦

JP

173

Well the Fairfield Tilt will be getting GGXX ready very soon. The manager will have it setup as soon as he gets the shipment. Go ahead and read up on the 707 Tilt tournament thread for more info on it. Also I had some time to practice up on GGXX on my days off so Iā€™m basically where I was when I played at SVGL with a few new suprises. :slight_smile:

Shinomori: Yeah go with the one character that works for you well in the long run. I learned the hard way because most of the time when I pick up on multiple charactersā€¦I tend to mess up really bad hehe.

Anyways good luck to everyone and practice well.

174

Tourneys??

Is there any chance that you guys could run tourneys on Sundays, or very very late Saturday nights? My wife works on Sats til around 2, and its about a 2hr. drive up to Reno from here. And, with all the hotel check-ins and some gambling, Iā€™m afraid i would miss an early tourney. I read somewhere that you guys ran a real late, like 10pm tourney. Is this the norm?? Thanks in advance.

175

What time does the arcade close where you hold the tourneys?

176

We plan on Running a GGX2 tourney tonight at around 10pm, sign ups around 9:30, if there are people interested I will run a cvs2 tourney that will probably be free entry so people will participate, Iā€™l even throw in my Japanese DC Ikaruga for first place as a prize since I donā€™t play the game (actually I need a new convertor disc) Wel Iā€™ll see you guys tonight, I plan on showing up about 8:30, so Iā€™ll see you there.

Also GGā€™s to Joe (Galzpanic) hope to see you in Sunnyvale man.

177

I also posted the results on the tourney forums. Btw Paul, JC placed higher than Andrei. Andrei and nick are tied for 5th. Anywho, was good match over all. Keep up the good work everyone :).

Impluze:We really donā€™t know dude. I mean Monday, me and Rob works early in the morning. We also work like around 9am every Sunday morning and thatā€™s already hard considering we hold our tourneyā€™s on Saturdays late (thanks Paul :rolleyes: ). Anyway weā€™ll see what happens, and it just really depends on how everyone feels about it. I think I wanna have one this weekend seeing that Robā€™s back in town :).

GalzPanic:That was you that whooped pretty much on everyone right? Good Johnny bro, wish I saw you during the last GGXX SVGL tourney. Anyway, come down more often sometimes.

JP

178

Yo thanks all for the good games and token hospitality heh. Played some good Ky, Pot, Slayer, Baiken, Testy, and erg Dizzy. I ate the airdash behind H, spike like 80707 times lol. Too bad I couldnā€™t go to your tourney but Iā€™ll see yā€™all next month. You got a nice arcade and the 3/5 rounds is sick thanks again see you later

179

Thanks for the props on my Baiken, even though you perfected me 1 round :(. But yea dude, just come on down when you can. No doubt weā€™re all gonna try to be in SVGL during July 26th, assuming we can get it off that day (prays). Anyway, see you then :).
