Real men like yellow shirt guy? Aww yeahhh

oot is still top 5 game of all time.

Actually top 5 all time TMNT Anyone you choose I prefer the very first one, made that shit so hard and pissed me off a lot, but I would not love the game if it had not!! :smiley:

Shadow Edit: Not talking bout you brozhear

the TMNT games are cool

The vocabulary that actually annoys me in SSF4 & SFxT threads is “fix”. Holy Jesus, a buff is a buff, not a fix.

Anyways, whoever is making to the tourney, I’ll see you guys there. Gonna play casuals if possible.

I’m probably gonna miss the tourney but ill be there a bit later for casuals and GOLF.

Is anyone still going to the tournament today who can maybe give me a ride?

Does anyone know what it would cost to play golf? I saw the website a while ago, are they just going to charge the normal $40/hour to use the simulators?

Hey John, I’m afraid I cannot give you a ride today. I’m literally 3km away from the place (I’m at Deerfoot Mall right now) and I’m heading straight up the Deerfoot Tr after I’m done.

Just posting it here cuz my phone lost the signal temporarily.

we’re live now. playing casuals until 7pm.
due to limited internet, quality will be compensated.

and yeah theres a big empty space at the bottom right hand corner cause my chatroom program decided to mess up. havent mastered my new technology yet.
tune in!!

Sorry guys I won’t be going tonight. Football too insane today

is there anybody who is going to dickens tomorrow who might consider going a little earlier (2ish) i couldnt get to the tourney thing today since i was working and am eager to get some games in against anyone who fancies it.

also i had a cool idea for the whole speedrun thing if it goes ahead (i must admit id be pretty psyched to take part in it. im just trying to figure a second game i could speedrun along with RE1) so here it is…

…what if we did sort of like a “special event” that basically consisted of 2 players speedrunning the same game at the same time as sort of like a head to head competition. if you could have the two consoles streaming simultaneously so you could see both speedruns at the same time or at very least be able to switch between them at will with commentators to build hype. if it was all for charity people could donate money for whoever they thought was going to win as well as the competitors putting up money as well, kind of like a speedrun MM lol.

you could do a couple of these as well even spread throughout the rest of the regular speedruns. what could be better than seeing 2 people go head to head competing for the best time. you could set up the stations next to each other as well so you can see your opps screen as well as yours to add extra pressure ha ha.

theres a super good sega megadrive game id love to speedrun, only problem is i havent ever finished it before and its super hard as well lol. may have to get playing it again soon.

This guy was my hero of the week.

It’s even funnier that the main character in the pokemon run was apparently named “ysg” as well by sheer coincidence. I find it hard to believe even… Seems too perfect to be real?

pokemon gold and yes that shit was hilarious, he actually needed to name the MC ysg for the glitches to work

ps i left the vlx at the new venue, if anyone grabbed it please let me know asap

i started playing dark souls. is there actually an order to playing the game or are you really supposed to just trial and error your way through everything? i really don’t want to use a walkthrough or whatever.

i started a thief and was hacking my way through the hollows in undead burg (4-5 shotting?) then tried a pyromancer and started out 2 shotting at a much lower level … is there really that big of a difference between classes, or is it just some stat thing that was never explained to me?

pyromancy is just really fucking good, the game is mostly non-linear but monsters will crush you if you go out of order generally, just make an effort to ring the two bells right now

Just for funsies, current change log for Ryu in my SF4 mod:

  • cl.LP removed; f.LP is Ryu’s only version of his standing jab now. I mainly did this for aesthetics; cl.LP is an ugly move that is virtually identical frame-wise to f.LP anyway, except cl.LP is 3f and f.LP is 4f. Ryu already has good enough 3f moves. Also, cl.LP has inconsistencies with proximity detection and where it can actually hit.
  • U1’s velocity has been tweaked so that it now moves super fast (faster even than HP Shinku). This allows it to be used more as a punishment tool and a dominant option in projectile wars. Properties may be further altered to convert U1 into more of a long-range punishment and anti-projectile tool as opposed to a generic utility move.
  • U2’s damage on a clean hit is reduced from 335-503 to 300-450. However, its juggle potential has been altered so that it is now possible to combo into the full animation from any single hit that would cause a juggle state (e.g. DP FADC). This makes U2 the superior damage and combo option between the two ultras, without being Vanilla-level ridiculous. Properties may be further altered to enhance its potential use as a high-damage anti-air or reversal.

Potential future changes:

  • Slight damage tweaks, primarily to ultras.

Ryu doesn’t seem like he needs very many things. If I wanted to try extra hard I could give him a fake fireball a la HD Remix, but… meh.

Moving on to Yang next because I got some good ideas for him and that motherfucker needs some love.

Pyromancy is pretty good yeah, its strength does not depend on your level (you level up your pyromancy equipment separately). You just get a limited number of them each time you leave a bonfire, so it requires game knowledge or careful strategy to make sure you don’t run out (or just have a plan B).

There’s a lot in the game that is not explained to you about how equipment works, how leveling works, how dodging works, etc, but you should just be trying to work your way through the burg right now, doing your best to get used to the controls and stuff.

One of the weird things about the game is that you have to start choosing where you want to spend your souls to level before you even really know what the stats do, so imo you can actually create a somewhat bad build early that’s hard to recover from without grinding later. Vitality/endurance are typically always good stats though.

There’s a stat that talks about status effect resistance or something (I forget the name, it’s near the bottom). Never level this stat. If you choose to pump strength, you should expect to have a pretty slow character that hits hard but takes a long time between swings. I chose to pump dexterity, because I wanted a fast character who could dodge and take several fast swings, but the weapon I ended up settling on didn’t need my high dex to wield effectively so I felt like I wasted a lot of levels there. Intelligence is pretty boss (int is the black magic, faith is the white magic stat) because you can have a pretty decent back-up weapon and some good long-range spells to back them up with the right game knowledge. I would basically level vitality/endurance, and then pick what style you want (slow tank vs mobile magic user) and level up either strength or intelligence as well.

If you’re using pyromancy early, it’s a good idea to level up your pyro equipment too. You’ll see a pretty good damage increase per souls spent ratio by doing that. I don’t recall if you need to unlock/find the guy who levels pyro equipment, but he should be next to firelink shrine bonfire.

I have a vlx that was orphaned last night. Claim that shit guys! I have to many sticks!
