Calgary Thread 2011

btw thanks for the kind words jamie/dug, any advice you guys give me is also always golden

You’re going to Vegas for all the wrong reasons. lolol

Mark spent his money to early and didn’t get to party it up with Doug, Phil, Quang and I on Sunday.

man
tyler thats a horrible fucking attitude
last year i knew i was a scrub and i wanted to learn certain techniques thats why i spent like 200 dollars playing my favorite players
but now all those secrets have been shared
you dont play money matches to loose

in any case you should be playing them to win and double ure money for the peelers

if ure going to have the attitude that your going to be giving your money away atleast have the decency to give it to one of your friends or some slut who supposely needs to pay her way through college

not some top player who will obviously use it for the strippers

basically how i look at it is:

i’m going to evo

being that its in vegas is inconsequential - i’m there for the tourney not for vegas

if i was going for vegas my budget would need to be much higher, and for longer than a weekend. i’m going to go with friends at some point to really experience it, because trying to do evo and vegas at the same time would dilute both of them. i wanna do vegas big, not vegas-lite

i see what youre saying

but i’m not going to waste my money

after canada cup i have had a taste of top players, and dont think we’re that far off

i dont plan on losing all of my cash doing ft5 for 20 bucks against jwong all night, i want to make some dough

LOL, I swear I supported like 5 potential doctors.

You could do it
Jpizzle and Vesper Styles

all depends on your self control

i think you will crack though

GGs Joz. I don’t know what to do when I’m being pressured by claw lol. Figured out my best pokes to use though, and a good OS for if Claw does backflip on wakeup.

How the eff do you get out of the Izuna vortex? Just dp? lol

os ultra is the best os.

I will say hello if I come to evo again :slight_smile:

Someone from 403 should push for the top spot at EVO. Kinda harsh that daigo already has over 46k of training with the new chars. Major advantage

all depends if AE is out on consoles by EVO

im pre-ordering mvc3 from the capcom store because apparently you get the games earlier then release date

should i go for express shipping vs economy if i wanna get it early?

i dont wanna end up ordering the fucking thing and having it cost more because it needs to be shipped and not get it on release day

lol I just pre-ordered it at EB today too.

Yah partying in Vegas is great if you wanna get ripped off. Spearmint rhino is still the best, just don’t go into the privite rooms and do $20 lap dances all night.

I would just go for shopping and evo and mms next time.

you have to do a backdash as late as possible
since Hawk is so huge you have almost zero leeway
good luck! :lol:

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

That’s shitty. When AE comes out though…free U2. :3

I dunno about u2, if I izuna right I hit the ground before pretty much anything comes out. U2 will still probably go too high… it might hit me if I do izuna in the middle of the map as opposed to corners tho.

Late ex dp and late backdash are your best options. You did hit me with an ex 360 once tho, that was pretty weird… your focus is really easy to grab I noticed

Yeah towards the end you were figuring it out. im still not really sure about t hawk, its easy to really lame him out but he can get some scary momentum.

Also, if I may ask what is the OS you were using? Vegas deal on wakeup is that between backdashing and KKK flip you can avoid almost everything but neither are actually reversals. A KKK flip beats most OS that a backdash won’t and vice versa but Vega is still moving closer to the corner.

I have to admit I’m actually really impresses by your t hawk. A lot of times when I fight grapplers I just wait for them to jump in and KKK flip and they never punish it properly. You picked up on that pretty fast. And your pokes were pretty Sharp too. I like playing t hawk on the side so I am gonna x copy some things and like I said SICK combo with the condor dive off j Lp, I didn’t know that was possible. Sooooo cool

T hawk also has way better walk speed than gief. I noticed that when i would go for poke pressure

Yeah you were figuring it out. You can punish my overhead with an spd BTW.

You can’t safe jump U2 in AE, so I think I might be able to catch Izuna drop.

After a couple matches I realized the best thing to do was splash os forward dash. That was if you did KKK flip on wakeup I could just dash and get another typhoon/ultra. I think OS ex spire/regular spire works as well, but I’m not sure.

The combo I did also works as a fuzzy. Jump in splash and if it’s blocked do instant j.lp into dive. :slight_smile:

Over head is punishable by spd? Yeeessss. That’s good.

I raged so hard at U2. Especially when the one time I knew it was coming so I did a dive and it auto-corrected. Dx

Ahhhh there you go. That’s crazy actually, the buff to u2. Yep probably no more izuna , that may be your ultra of choice

Yeah that’s a good OS… its pretty hard to backdash the splash so yeah its probably what you should be doing.

U2 is 8 frame start up. Just gotta make sure you’re safe jumping.I use it a lot to just f off when hawk knocks me down cause it makes no difference if it hits or not, I’m safe. And yeah I got lucky that one time, figured you would like that :stuck_out_tongue:

Honestly it looks like a wake-up ultra every time but I try to nail the auto coreect when I can, and I won’t do it if I know you’re safe. It’s an easy ultra to shut down, entirely possible to make it a non factor in the mu.

I think the matchup is bad cause I can random izuna and ex wall dive. You should try punishing whiff with condor dive. Vega being able to move where he wants is a big deal cause it means he can avoud the corner and all that. Seems like a t hawk pinning Vega down would be quite a feat.

Hmm…punish with whiff dive is a good idea. I kept doing nj.hp but I think nj.hk may work. Will go into the lab later to try some stuff.
