Yeah, 5stars is asian, but if you double him you get a white dude.
I know Derrick doesn’t read this anyways but sorry man for pissing you off with the static electricity thing, I was just messing around, I didn’t mean to be a dick.
In other news, I got fired yesterday so if I was kind of a dick to anyone else I was blowing off lots of steam. So since I’ve got 10 weeks until the next quarter starts I guess I’m going to play lots of fighting games and do freelance work. I’ll photoshop stick art if anybody wants for a nominal fee.
Cannot wait!
That leniency at the start of the match makes sense to me, too. To me I feel like I’m just too careful and not learning what I need to about my opponent.
A reply to my nutrition snippet! I would recommend not just normal water, but a sports drink like Propel or original formula Gatorade. Water alone will not replace the electrolytes you sweat out or the carbs that you use as energy while walking around being hype. The Clif bars were awesome though. I think my good performance so late in the day was partially attributable to the nutrition practices I had throughout the day.
For those of us who are McDonald’s warriors, if you want something for breakfast I would recommend the $1 apple dippers (sans caramel sauce if you can) and a lean sandwhich like the quarter pounder without cheese. The parfait is reasonable as well.
Sucks that you got fired man. You’ll bounce back tho.
I’m surprised Derrick didn’t say “hey, what that you are trying to do?”. In all seriousness tho Derrick will forgive you, he is cool like that.
the parfait has a lot of sugar in it. that’s not great for you.
Word up my peeps!?
Good games 2 Alex in both HDR & BlazBlue last night. I cannot do shit w/ Chun against T-Hawk tick throw setups. It definately is a bad match up 4 imo. Thank goodness I have some bullshit w/ Cammy 2 save my ass in that match-up against him. Lol. Also, BB was hella fun. Good stuff w/ Caruru Clover. Lol.
Also, good games 2 Quan, Dave, & Frankie in Tekken last night. Hella fun stuff 4 sure. :tup:
Also, going 2 both Rooster’s & I-Hop in one night was some top tier shit. Big props 2 Alex & Quan on going 2 Rooster’s w/ me & Dave on going 2 I-Hop w/ me. Being a fat kid @ heart is rewarding…b/c ur being fat. :lol:
That’s all 4 now. Take it easy & have a good one. Peace. :china:
P.S. Brandon, U WOULD NOT have gotten 3rd in Season’s Beatings in Tekken. If u would have been there & met up w/ Tom Brady, Axiom, DatBoySTL, or RyRY in Tekken, they would have defeated u during the tourney. I myself & Derrick had some difficult matches & sets against these guys that we were able 2 get by barely when we played them, so I don’t know how u think u would waltz in, beat all these guys easily, & snag that 3rd place mark automatically. I’m thinkin’ ur head has become over-inflated, like this Brandon:
[media=youtube]IBiPvm9pUAA[/media]
It’s all good runnin’ around w/ a big head…until it blows up in ur face (literally). I have a lot of faith in ur abilities, u’ve improved drastically over the past several months, & are playing Tekken a lot better. I think u can do well in a lot of tournies u’d have the chance 2 go 2, but I don’t wanna see u have an over-inflated head on ur shoulders w/ a bad mindset on going 2 tournies, then get defeated easily b/c of over-confidence. Having a good head on ur shoulders 2 prepare 4 what 2 face & being concious that any1 can defeat u @ anytime is the best outlook on going 2 a tourney 4 sure. If u do that, ur ego won’t get in the way, clouding ur judgement. :tup:
Grab a beer, this one is pretty damn long so I hosted it at googledocs:
True enough, but compared to all the saturated fat in the rest of the menu, bleck. A parfait is one thing to consider if I absolutely had to eat at McDonald’s.
The salads are probably healthier for you at McD’s too, though I’ve hear rumors that they put sugar in them XD
EDIT: Good post Adam.
I “barely lost” to MikeZ in winners finals of my pool. I do mean barely lost, I let go of a button on a delay-able move (720). If I delayed it I would have won because Mike made a poor decision. He came out on top by me being surprised. Mike Z’s shenanigans factor is too strong. From there Kyle (W) and I played a good match and he advanced and I was 3rd in my pool. I was kind of upset to find out the tourney format altered from what was posted (top 4 from each pool advance) and I didn’t actually advance. I would have cared more if I knew that only 1 person advanced from each pool. Oh well, I wasn’t going to make any money anyway since LK and Zidane were just so good. I’m just happy I did well.
Oh and on how to get ready for matches? Drink a few before your tournament starts. Meet me at an alcoholics anonymous after this season of tournaments.
Sounds like someone is getting too big for his britches. (that is not aimed at Sluch.)
October is domestic violence awareness month, and I am about to slap the shit out of you bitch.
Anyone want the Chun-Li 3D TE panel? It is really amazing in person, the depth, and all. But obviously I cannot rock any SFIV related artwork. I seriously almost dont wanna touch the stick. If only it were Bengus or some other version of Chun without manhands.
Twenty bucks?
Thanks for the advice Adam. I’m not 100% sure where my weaknesses lie, but I will say that I still notice some execution errors in my game, I have a tendency to go on auto-pilot, and I can be impatient sometimes.
For Jason, I can add that ABA needs to be in Moroha mode as much as possible without having to pay for it. There are double transformation combos that Jason needs to practice in order to get health back, and get back into Moroha mode with a full Moroha bar. He also needs to be able to do slide > key from a normal throw. This is something he can easily figure out in training mode if he just takes the time.
I was told you like man-hands on your junk. Oh wait, they werent manly ENOUGH. Figured it out. Ok, now back to trolling.
On another note, I may be able to have people over for some games next week. Maybe Friday, maybe Saturday also. I think Saturday is beggars night but children should be hung by thier toenails.
You gay.
I meant I dont want to take it apart, because I actually love the way it looks as is.
You still gay.
Man, you trolled me hard last night Matt. I’m surprised there wasn’t anything on DL too…
I do need to work on these though. I actually had the main frc rekkas key grab otg key grab combo down like eight months ago. Then I stopped playing, and I end up black beating it 80% of the time, so everyone techs out before I can get the keygrab on them.
And I just don’t get the timing on the normal throw>dash>keygrab. But I’m going to hit training mode hard again here soon. There’s been too much attrition on my already terrible execution even though I understand the game and what I’m going for gameplan wise so much better now…so couple that with the blah execution I had before and I might be decent again.
Anyway, I should be making AL today for the ranbats, but I probably won’t get down there till after two, maybe three…
ALSO:
Good post Adam. I’m not sure time/money permitting I can hit any majors this year and going forward, but if the GG scene really, truly is picking up, I can at least be more actively locally. If I can’t be great, maybe I can help someone else.
Yo man, go catch a VD from your manwhore. Plus, eat some dicks from India and France, because I hear they dont bathe there. Shut the whole from which you breath through multiple penises.
EDIT: Now that trolling is done, I aggree. That joystick does look fairly boss in almost all aspects.
Resume Trolling.
Word up peeps!?
Just letting every1 know that due 2 finances, I won’t be making it 2 MLG Dallas. Kinda sucks, but it is what it is.
Anywho, since I’m not going 2 MLG Dallas, I’ll be going 2 NEC in Philly 4 sure, so let me know if ur interested in going. :tup:
Also, I’m off work on Monday, I was thinking about going 2 Bloomington again & training w/ Josh in some Tekken, but I won’t be able 2 make that. However, I do want 2 play some games that day, so hopefully we can get something setup @ either Dave’s place or Kam’s place. I’ll call ya guys either 2maro or Monday & see what’s up. :tup:
Take it easy & have a good one. Peace. :china:
Jason, not trying to troll. You know that’s how it is if you want to play ABA. Can’t be letting your opponent determine when and how you switch modes. Thanks for making it out today.
Adam, Anji, eh? j214p is either tiger kneed (preferably with tension for the rc so you can follow up on hit or keep pressure up if they block) or as a combo ender only. Do not randomly do it way up in the air. 3p is also an overhead. Anji’s taunt animation looks similar to the startup of 3p, so you can cancel the taunt with a sweep and they might confuse the taunt for an overhead and get hit. I’m serious.
Use Fuujin K followup for throw shenanigans and to continue combos on wall bounce from HS fuujin. You can combo from stomps. You have frame advantage after stomps. I don’t know if you knew about run up, Pstomp crossup for okizeme, but that works sometimes. You can kara cancel 3s, and I think maybe 3k, but definitely 3s into s or hs and probably lots of other stuff. It basically allows you to do stuff like hs>hs… It’s not a necessity for Anji, but I thought a 3rd strike guy might appreciate that.
Learn jump install combos. Easiest setup is just a stomp, then s, (up), s, (down, up). Make sure you hit the second s after you hit the up, but before you actually jump. At this point, if you can jump again, after the super jump, then you’ve done the jump install right. What this enables you to do is something like stomp, s, s, (sjc), p, s, p, s, p, s, d. It doesn’t get knockdown, but damage is alright.
Use meter for D fuujin followup as you can loop fuujin, d, fuujin, d a couple times and build your combo from there. His supers are terrible, and the unblockable with the red butterfly requires somewhat specific spacing/timing, so unless you know that, just stick with the regular butterflies as they’re much faster.
You can actually throw a second butterfly at the point after it hits (or is blocked) and begins transforming. I think it’s like a just frame timing, but the game isn’t supposed to allow you to have 2 projectiles on screen, but I think it works because it’s between being one projectile and another. This is mostly for lolz and practical use is limited here, but it’s still pretty cool.
Thanks, I’m going to work on his combos/basics in a bit. Also I was wondering if he had unblockables, I think face mentioned it, but I wasn’t sure. Can he set up any from a standard butterfly, or just a red one?
