Calgary Thread 2012

Looks like Falken covered stuffs.

I would personally recommend neutral jumping occasionally at midscreen. It’s hard to react with headbutt (and if he does you are usually in time to crouch and punish) and can screw up EXes.

andy you just need to play lamer. balrog v guile is a grinder of a match where you just have to throw booms and preemptively AA to counter j.HP. low short on his wakeup if you don’t expect an ex dash punch, and press stand fierce a lot.

Also, if you can bait out ex rush punch you can throw them all on reaction as long as you’re not standing right next to him.

make sure your glasses are on, this isn’t wesker were talking about.

i play against thuyet a lot and this is my basic ken strategy…
you need absolute defence. dont try to outfootsie him and dont try to be more offensive than him. just let him attempt to overwhelm you. hold downback for most of the round. tech all throws, be on point with your anti-airs and anytime you see him use an EX move, instantly stand up and throw.
main point is don’t try to be more aggressive than balrog, it won’t work, you will just eat footsies all day. be disciplined because it won’t be a pretty win.

You know shopping for my graphics card over christmas led me to a lot of stupid shit.

Why the hell would you ever need a $450 PSU… someone please explain this to me. The notion is making my brain leak out my ears.

how else will you prove to everyone that you’re an alpha nerd?

andy, think about where you want to be

you can’t stop balrog from dash straighting, but you can damn near make it seem like a shitty idea by virtue of booming them to death

aside from that, what are you afraid of? Space him out so he can’t sweep you and has to jump over booms just to narrow space. TAP is invincible, but there’s a long delay before you get hit. Yeah he’s got EX to get through booms, but that’s really all he has in this MU. Bait them and leave him with no choice but to play YOUR game.

Guile unquestionably wins the matchup against balrog, just like he does against bison. similar matchups

I was just wondering; does anyone play AE in PC?

Anyone going to any gallery openings tonight? It’s the first Thursday of the month. I think I might peruse through art central or something. I’m just sitting at home bored so I figure I should go look at some arts.

On a side note, this weekend gonna hit some fresh ice a few friends gonna be playing at Coral Springs Beach house if anyone is interested PM me.

Oh and GG Jamie, we shall have a jam session like that again sometime soon!

who sits around thinking to themselves they haven’t gone to an art gallery lately

i feel so uncultured

maybe this is why you’re the best zakk

I’m done tutoring and am bored, but I’m pretty distant from art. I think I’ll practice some combos with arcade kof and do p90x

P90x is godlike, ill show u

anybody here seen Code Geass before? any good?

YEAHHHHHHHHAJHDFKASDFKJAHSDFJKAHSDFK THEYRE ALL ROCKING OUT SO HARD

JESUS LOL

Code Geass is pretty sick, and Code Geass Rv2 its worth a watch! sort of a mix between Deathnote(Godlike) and Gundam(Meh)

Yes and No. The first season was really good but the second season faltered at the beginning due to instructions from Bandai. It picks up midway through and redeems itself with one of the best endings to an anime.

There’s one tomorrow at Stride that I’m probably going to. Got back into town yesterday (too pooped to make tubby’s).

@Adam: Cool about the PA board game. So many new games to try, maybe I’ll hold off on buying Say Anything for a little bit? I’m not sure how rare it is for us to get like 7+ people in a room, so maybe Wits & Wagers will last us for a while. We have Pandemic, Dominion, Battlestar, and now PA?

I think Say Anything would be a pretty fun game with people who have a lot of inside jokes to share, so let’s keep it in mind if we need something fresh.
