Calgary Thread 2013

I really want to check it out… if they could somehow get that Studio Ghibli magic and warmth into an RPG, that’d be pretty badass. I just don’t have time for games like that these days though, I heard the playthrough is 20 hours minimum? I haven’t played a game that took more than 10 hours to beat since like… uhh … hmm. I can’t remember

haha yes revengeance is the dumbest word I’ve ever heard

Yeah. Ebay has em going for 2.5 times the retail price. Ridiculous.

So, my boss dropped a hell of a bomb on me Monday, and now I’m finally to the point where I’m coming to terms with it.

A few of you probably know my work permit expires at the end of this month. Long story short, things have become infinitely more complicated than I thought they would be. And as a result, my boss is forcing a situation upon me that I have no control over. The end result is that I have to leave the country by the 31st (which would be normal) and will be staying in Orlando for, bare minimum, a month to a month and a half (which is very much not normal). In the absolute worst-case scenario (which is highly unlikely as long as I’m not retarded), I could end up never coming back.

This means that the next Tubby Dog and Dickens sessions are going to be my last for a while, and I’ll likely be missing out on the speed run marathon and the Dickens tournament. I would like to believe I’ll make it back in time for April Duels, but realistically I have no idea when things will be set up for me to be able to come back. I was told mid-March, but then I’ve been told a lot of things that turned out to be not necessarily accurate.

that’s fucked up. hope things work out for the best dude.

good luck man

i’d spend that time trying to find a different job, every time you talk about your employer, they sound shady as fuck

:frowning: damn John…

If you need a place to crash and a ride to the airport again lemme know lol!

Hey mike I tried some bnb combos with rose last night and I was finding them hard to do…

Cr jab, cr short link cr. strong xx roundhouse spiral was not working for me.

I couldn’t link the strong for the life of me. Did they change it from super? Is it possible? Am I a scrub?!

This question and more, tune in next time on the journey of the gypsy.

gootecks with pr rog and infiltration

edit:
best luck john

Visa stuff sucks (I presume that’s what it’s about), so I hope that works out for you. If you’re trying to look on the bright side, at least you get to miss the rest of the cold Calgarian winter? lol

rose is boring as fuck and has really shitty payoff for difficult things

But them titties, Foger. Them titties.

I don’t care, just want to learn another character.

I actually find her interesting, she isn’t top tier and has a unique style.

nice to see you grinding again Derryk!
cough would be nice to see more people playing again :smiley:

shizzz that sucks jon, your presence will be missed for sure as you always come out. hope all goes well!

really relaxing dream trance song that im hooked on at the moment…

that combo still works but you can’t combo into RH spiral, you have to use LP / MP dependant on spacing. if you use LP from max range it won’t reach, and if you use MP too far it’ll hit too late to combo. EX always works.

important links:
cr.short, cr.short (1f)
cr.short, cr.strong (1f)
close standing strong, cr. strong (1f)
close standing forward, cr. strong (1f)
close standing forward, cr. fierce (CH only, 2f?)

i agree with UltraDavid wholeheartedly…
“I’m telling you guys, [S]#[/S]AE2012 is not a tiers game, it’s a matchups game”

Fei Long, Akuma, and Cammy are among the best because they have the least bad matchups and even then, their bad matchups are not even that bad.

the hell, all of roses shit is 1frame?
that hoe isn’t worth playing at all, go play scrub long with his 40,000 frame jab rekkas

That’s the plan. Up until this point, every time I’ve been on the fence he makes me an offer that gives me incentive to stay. Now he’s practically throwing me under the bus because he didn’t do any kind of planning for this until maybe the end of last week after I warned him about this from day one. And he supposedly has no money of his own to help compensate me for the situation he’s all but forcing upon me. The only notable plus side to this is that my parents were willing and able to back me up and I’ve had time to coordinate everything in such a way that the losses and general stress are minimized.

Regardless, I appreciate all the well-wishes. I know I haven’t been around for very long and it’s taken me some time to get better integrated into the local community, but even with how I can be sometimes you guys have really made me feel more at home up here than I expected. Hence why I’m not considering just throwing in the towel and staying back in Orlando once this is all over. I like it up here, horribly cold winters and all.

yeah i quit rose because she doesn’t have that versatile ground game and walk speed like vega does. anti-airing with normals just isn’t as fun as running away or air grabbing people

:confused:
Tiers are just the standings of who has more favorable matchups than poor ones. Still a tiers game.

rose can do 2f links if you go:

cr. jab xx cr. short, cr.jab xx special
close mk, cr.jab xx special

but the range is really picky so nobody uses them

her best confirm is probably
cr.short cr.short cr.short cr.strong xx spiral
because cr.short is the only normal aside from cl.strong that is advantage on block, and it has a really good hitbox.

i think ultradavid has the right idea. there are too many characters that are too widely represented to expect your characters’ tier position to win for you. at some point you ought to learn how to counter pick.

i think you could tier whore in earlier games cause there weren’t as many characters, so essentially you had a worse chance at running into a bad mu. but among the best characters in sfiv, several have bad matchups against characters that aren’t uncommon and as a result they’ll be on a disadvantaged playing field in these circumstances.

i feel like this is one of the semantic arguments that are meaningless and trite but at the same time i do see david’s rational.

i was about to say if you win with hakan in grand finals than it’s probably more a matchups game but it’s also entirely possible that hakan is a great character. how should i know though

Hopefully everything works out for you John.
