VF?

Nah, VF is more like a Thanksgiving feast.

man good times at dicken’s last night guys.
shit is way too fun - perfect for ending a weekend.
gg’s to everyone i played - peter, i wanna play more against ken.
your kara-throws and use of tick-throwing is godlike, as well as your safe jumps. tricky!

Winter sucks!

Those be gems my friend, better than some of the stuff out currently.

Omg, fML.
My dick is frozen.

Lol, if your “frozen dick” lasts for more than 4 hours, see a doctor.

Winter totally sucks, car wouldn’t start :frowning: Sad Panda. Hopefully will have better luck next week, and I can bring my set up if needed.

How late does dickensons usually go? Im usually off work at730 pr 9:00. Is it still worth coming out at that time? I can bring a asus evo monitor. Two sticks and every fighter on the 360. Even got SFHD and mow dled

this one is for psycho josh

we went until 11pm last night, mike.
the first time we went until 1am?

next week there will be a SF tourney, $5 buy-in.
Teams would be really fun to do too, maybe another $5 buy-in?

thanks derryk :slight_smile: we havent played for months and you are much more well rounded now. you have a much better grasp of zoning, footsies and anti-airing :tup:
if i may give you a piece of generic advice, just work on being more disciplined because often times you would get impatient and trigger happy and throw out an unsafe EX slide. much love!

I’m gonna do a KOF $5 buy in tourney too next week

edit possibly teams if anyone wants to give LAB some money

nah he’s talking about King of Fighters. you like playing grapplers, you would really like KoF. one of the most important moves to have in that game is a command grab. and you don’t need to play a big Zangief type to have a good grab either… you can play Goro, who is a gentle giant but can kill you with one grab, or you can play a little schoolgirl who still has a 1 frame grab, or you can play as a guy who has an armored grab as well as an instant one… you can combo into your grabs too

grapplers are dope in kof, i’m trying to figure out daimon right now. #1 because he looks like phil and #2 he does a SHITLOAD of damage

I think I’ve got my team all sorted out now. Terry/Vice/Iori. Terry is a real nice battery. even though he’s not a strong char overall it seems to me like he doesn’t really have any bad matchups, even if the other guy has a 1 frame grab you can still do pressure without crack shoot. there is no big motivation for him to use EX or more than half the drive bar, so that saves meter for Vice. Vice does insane damage anywhere on screen. 200 off a cr.B hit confirm, 250 off a s.D. 405 damage for one EX bar if you can get a tricky link. She has a great grab, awesome blockback, and can combo off of pretty much anything so long as she has EX. She doesn’t use drive bar very well though outside of one pretty stylish super cancel, so that saves it all for Iori… even though my Iori is still a liability, he’s pretty boss. he’s a pretty good battery for himself. having Vice whore up all my meter might still be a problem but I dunno. I think I can make it work.

pretty slow thread today…
in other news, this past weekend, Team Spooky streamed The Next Level Tournament but "the UMvC3 tourney was cancelled due to lack of entrants."
that’s pretty alarming for the American UMvC3 scene. the game totally dropped off the face of the earth once KoFXIII dropped.

He missed him by like one inch… (skip to 59:25)

darwinism

survival of the fittist…i’m pretty sure i called this like the day they announced the release date for umvc3
its like in starcraft, if you get too greedy and go for your 3rd before you scout and have any army whatsoever, there is a chance you’ll get walked over by someone whos being serious

My precious UMvC3! If it dies now I’ll be depressed

playing marvel would be like playing tatsunoko vs. capcom in modern terms.
nobody wants to play.

i dig KOF, although i don’t play it - i respect it because it’s got depth, challenge and execution requirements.
marvel … well, it’s marvel. durrhurrhurr. it is at the tipping point of failure in the tournament scene :stuck_out_tongue:

but, that’s just my opinion. i really like ricky’s post - play what you enjoy.

holy fucking balls is it cold out. i walked from my office to blackfoot diner for lunch… jesus. tonight i’m gonna play League of Legends and grind more SFIV on PSN. my cody is almost 3000bp, 2000pp PSN = Frayyy. while i do that i’ll look out the window and scowl.
