Calgary Thread 2016

It’s an amazing renters market. Buyers too. Terrible sellers…

I wouldn’t live downtown again though…

like andrew says, it’s actually pretty good for renters atm, lots of people lost their jobs and had to pack up ship leave town. my rent went down $200 per month – mind you, it’s a giant house. If you’re living downtown I doubt it’s changed much since boardwalk pretty much pwns the market share. If the real estate market nose dives even more It’ll be a excellent time to buy. Either way, I’ll just keep socking my coins and wait to buy somewhere nicer (ie: BC)

Rent is crazy cheap right now. If I tried to rent my full house, I’d lose a lot of money on it every month. places like mine used to rent for $2k plus, now $2,500 gets you an executive rental in the inner city. Condos haven’t dropped quite as much but it is easier to find a good one because vacancies are a lot higher, way more out there on the market to choose from.

As Claw, to body Birdie is fairly simple, it is just not fairly simple at this point without sufficient amount of battles with him. Mid range poke is really good and neutral jumping is key. When ever Birdie jumps at you with his chains (command throw) every version except for EX can be crush countered into huge damage.

Cannot wait to fight some dope birdies live without lag lol. RIP Bowness Pub

Is Hexter’s happening today? I should be able to get there on time for once.

I’ll be going to Dickens next sunday. play me.

Dirty birdie picker, abandoning our sweet bonita :frowning:

yes sir.

i’ll go to hexters but probably won’t play a ton of games, and will probably take off fairly early

if sevencdn is heading there today though, we can exchange cash dollars for the guide

Not exactly new, as it was in sf4 (think Hakan oil diving people on wakeup) but it’s nice to know it’s still there.

Lol nativeimpact landed that ‘unblockable’ a couple times at NLBC, his r mika is mad good

GGs today at Hexters

mike, looks like Vega can punish spinning back knuckle on block with F+HP with combos into v-trigger etc.

and it looks like moonsault is only 3 active frames

so it’s not meaty, but probably just has a huge hurtbox. still, ever time i feel like a deer in headlights when that move starts coming out

whoa

i may need to do some testing, but

from Vega frame data thread

So not performing the attack and just the dodge would let me go through fireballs much more easily? O___________O

that would change everything.

edit: holy fuck, it’s true… no wonder dodging fireballs aside from shotos seemed so ridiculously hard, it’s cause i’m not even using my full moveset

EDIT: So Mike, when I do that big spin attack, I can actually choose to not attack and just spin, it has a lot less active frames but a notable animation and a voice clip included

I pretty much forgot about it. honestly thought it was just to help me fake people out when switching between claws

but no it has a TON OF INVINCIBILITY

figures… MAN, that makes moving through those slow fireballs soooo much easier

EDIT 2: Mike, if you hit a counter hit F+HP, you can combo into your tragedy assault after. you should start doing that, think about how good constantly stealing meter will be in the long run

EDIT 3: Not the best example but an example nonetheless

Sounds like the last frames are completely projectile invul. I just wonder if you wouldn’t just back into it and make yourself block it meaty though.

I honestly don’t see any Vega players use those moves at all though. If I do get close I can just hit you low? I didn’t know that.

Edit: Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff I don’t do that I should really incorporate into my game. Worst thing is I need to practice V-trigger combos to know when to use which links because it’s very spacing and height dependent.

Also I need to practice cancelling m.sonic scythe into super. I can do light fairly consistently, but the timing on the medium one throws me off.

well doing the v-skill through the projectile isn’t too hard, with 20 more frames of invul it’d be cake

and yeah i could get hit out of that but at that range i can sort of make you scared to throw fireballs with my v-skill and ex roll etc

Some matches for you to look over.

Honestly these guys play completely different from either of us, so maybe we’re doing something wrong, lol.
