Haz Count me down for a MvC3 Copy and im trying to convince friends for help with setups :smiley:

pm hazem if you are bringing gear. make sure you state what you are bringing. xbox, ps3, monitor, ae, mvc3, 3s etc… also, tell him when you are gonna show up. this is important. if everyone brings gear but not til the last tourney, then this will fail.

Ironically, I just played AE online for the first time since forever aaaaaaand…I think I’m done. The lag, tho not much, still turns me from a tactical player into a pattern mashing fool. Really hope 3SO lives up to potential.

That’s exactly why I want out. Those two fucking dogs tear everything up. Especially those fucking couches in the living room, I am tired of cleaning up the fluff. I am sure you’ve all seen it. They’ve chewed up so much of my shit and their owners don’t even compensate or care. We cleaned the house last night completely and now its all fucking dirty again. The dogs just piss and shit everywhere and when I put them outside they bitch that they can’t be outside for too long, which is true, but this is not my fucking problem.

I work all day, and come home and mostly stay in my room if not go out for the entire night.
I am only in the living room when we host, and I use the kitchen maybe like 30 minutes per day to make dinner. I do not want to fucking clean up after their fucking mess when I make none myself.

sorry ended up venting.

Armando if no one here has a room, maybe ask on http://reddit.com/r/tempe or http://reddit.com/r/phoenix

I have this theory that the simpler, easier characters are always dominant for 90% of the playerbase, due to the fact that they’re so incredibly solid. For that remaining 10% though, at the highest levels of play, the characters aren’t complex or crazy enough to win by solid fundamentals alone. Balrog and Bison, in my opinion, embody this. You can still be creative with shotos and the like, but Balrog and Bison tend to be incredibly one dimensional. You learn how to counter this and they’ve got very little else to rely on. It’s just incredibly difficult to do so for 90% of us, myself included. I usually turn to that as the reason why Balrog was dominant in early Vanilla, since everyone had to take those steps to get past him and it was much easier to play him than it was to beat him. Bison was the new Balrog in Super, but it was still fundamentally the same game so the Dictator didn’t get the same “everyone’s a n00b” advantage that Balrog did.

I felt that the same was coming for Marvel, where people were slowly starting to learn how to counter and deal with Wolverine. But instead, Capcom is going to “fix” it for us so we don’t have to think/play as hard. Again, it’s still incredibly fucking hard to deal with Wolverine (Probably harder than Balrog), but we really were getting there and I believe people were starting to branch off and shy away from Wolverine and Phoenix before UMvC3 was announced and swiss-cheese’d everyone’s hopes and dreams.

I have this other spiel I spent 10 minutes on typing up about team composition in Marvel being relative to the age of the game (Basically, everyone learns one character and then pads their team with the “top tier” aka easy to play characters) with both world and local examples, but I’ll probably get into that while commentating on the stream this week.

Haz, count me in for bringing an XBox,. With Mike’s fancy new ASUS, Tempe will be bringing an additional setup. I have both AE and MvC3.

Armando: Just tell your roommates I’m coming over every day. They’re really cool when I’m there since they know I’m allergic to dogs, they always keep them in their rooms. Sorry you’re running into shit with them.

Also, they need to give Ibuki a divekick.

This thread is now about go barbra.

I feel you Jon, that’s a good point. I just wish I knew what the counter was for Bison lol, I’m like his number one bitch >.< it suuuucksss.

Haz I’m bringin my xbox n mvc3. mk if necessary.

Will also run brackets this time around, I’ll be on time. Last time I was dead tired… wasnt even sure if I was gunna be able to show… All systems go for this one =]

Street fighter Is such a lame game IMO, I feel so much more dumb after playing everytime! Braincells I can never get back :frowning:
I feel where your coming from muji, no matter how much time you put in with your character some character in that series counters them and some scrub can just scrub it out with who ever character fairs better. Rock/scissor/paper motherfuckers!
Blows my mind that this game is soo popular in the states but not so much over seas lol

anyone know if this one lag or not?? >> http://www.officemax.com/catalog/sku.jsp?productId=prod3450228&affcode=performics&cm_mmc=Performics--Ebates.com--Ebates%20solo%20email%208.23-_-Text&siteID=k138

i have no idea. its a gamble, to even try. gateway isnt known for making good monitors as it is

wtf, decade + year old sf’s are still in sbo. CE is still one of the most popular games in korea. the way you describe it tho, that really only pertains to sf4. no other sf game allows mashers to win, its impossible.

stop trollin! =)

I’m only talking about SF4 :frowning:

Been playing a lot of Melty Blood: Actress Again…makes me sad this game has no scene.

Ok fair enough. Hehe. Can’t really argue it too much

ibuki’s kunai delivers divekick-like pressure. You’re fine.

I think he wants her to be top tier
