Chinatown Fair NYC | Friday is the last day

I hear people are trying to get drunk :slight_smile:

If youā€™re talking about GG, Millia has a bubble and sheā€™s a combo machine rushdown freak. If youā€™re talking about Arcanaā€¦ Thatā€™s Kira. I used to play her. I donā€™t play Arcana anymore. :bluu:

I donā€™t know what heā€™s talking about. It could be worse. At least itā€™s pretty diverse. Not everyone plays top tiers.

I think what heā€™s trying to say is that we have a lot of people who play right now, so itā€™s easy to find competition, but weā€™re not at a high enough level yet to play confidently in other areas. And Iā€™m against tier whoring but the lack of top tiers definitely isnā€™t helping us get any better.

Afraid I must disagree with you on this one, just hit up training mode 'til your fingers bleed!

PS I havenā€™t played you in GG yet, money match first to 1 for $1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.01

Well, not everyone has top of the line execution to work with. Like, you go for Claw instead of Ryu in ST because there isnā€™t much to really practice with Claw. Its really all dependant of the player themselves and how much willing they are to work to win. I switched to Slayer because Johnny was a lot of work compared to Slayer.

And as for the scene: I said it was weird because not everyone in the EC GG scene is okay in the brain. See: Jamie Austin for more on the matter.

And yes, Sergio. We have to get some games in. I havenā€™t really actually played you in anything outside of maybe 3S.

We do this for Colbert.

You might appreciate the fact that I havenā€™t been able to use my stick for the past three weeks.

Reason? Itā€™s at Stephen Colberts house and he hasnā€™t managed to return it yet.

I hope thatā€™s true because I expect to see it signed and I want to get envious. Shit. The envy might be settling in already. Iā€™m gonna go kill a bear.

are ranbats still being held at CTF?

Besides the one happening on the 2nd and random fridays, I guess not

All this GG talk has me interested as hell, I might try and get into it on the 2nd. It all depends on if theres a Slayer/Testament playing or not

Iā€™ll be playing Slayer at Philly.

i might bring dat Dizzy to the CF tourney. still thinking on it.

Its free, XAQ. Do it. Iā€™m entering and Iā€™m way below you in this game.

Oh wow that tourney is next week?? lol time went by quick alreadyā€¦! whose entering marvel!?

did they fix the other marvel cab yet??? i know last week thursday only two were workinā€¦ the one all the way in the corner and the one in the middle towards the leftā€¦?

EDIT: Iā€™ll be passin by tomorrow for a lil marvelā€¦ and if anyone wants to teach me AC or GG i wouldnt mind

Since when do arcades have training mode.

Yo Phocus AC is GG, so your ā€œAC or GGā€ makes no sense unless you meant AH or GG.

AH has a training mode. Also, hunt down the console version of AC if you really want to take the game seriously.

Nah, I donā€™t do consoles. Plus my friend who had ps2 moved.

Last time I touched a console I forgot how to hold a stick. My arcade abilities still arenā€™t back to normal after ps2 controllers.

Last time I tried the sticks for consoles the whole box moved.

So Iā€™m keeping it arcade only.

Well go at obscure hoursā€¦ or something :confused:

I hope I get rich so I could open up an arcade place.

One where you wonā€™t have DDR right next to the good fighters so there wonā€™t beā€¦ well you knowā€¦ that smell.

edit: Someone needs to be the Preppy of nyc and start doing game nights or some shit.

If I didnā€™t live in a box Iā€™d do it haha.

Man, as a DDR player even that smell offends meā€¦ if you know youā€™re gonna be playing a game where you sweat a bit could you fucking wear some god damn deodorantā€¦ fuck! :mad:

Damn, I think my only free days now (Sat/Sun) may not be so free now.

Marvel is calling out to meā€¦ what should I do?

the problem with tier whoring in GG is the top 4 characters actually require some forms of skill to use. then you get to potemkin.

solution: more people should use potemkin.

gg costs 30 dollars for ps2 and learning combos will pretty much be 50% of your game if not more considering youā€™ll be playing people who drop more combos than a crackhead with arthritis and parkinsons.

in gg, you NEED to know combos, itā€™s an absolute requirement, and youā€™ll be fighting people like me who can actually do some advanced shit, unlike the 50 testament fobs who dont know what a tigerknee badlands is who you will beat for free once you learn some B&Bs and mixups. however, choose any character except maybe bridget or johnny.

also to anyone trying to pick up gg: remember that basically the worst matchups in the game are 6 - 4. thatā€™s a disparity generally held exclusively between top tiers in capcom games. in gg the worst character vs the best character is 6 - 4, and strangely enough, some characters have ADVANTAGES vs top tiers (axl, baiken and pot respectively have advantages vs testament eddie and slayer) pick who you like and you can win in america :slight_smile:
