Columbia, MO 2008: We Post More Than We Play

Come on Josh I’m all the way on the other side of the world and I don’t know what yams are and even I know SilverDrgn is not silverfighter.

Why the fuck did no one tell me Aaron’s team won Evo?

too busy stroking their beards.

either that or the text got stopped at customs

ANDREWWWWWWW! YEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

x

That makes up for it.

I’m off to my host family again tomorrow so I might be scarce on the Internet for the rest of the month. Funny story, the university I’m going to costs twice what we thought it did… but MU financial aid thought it cost twice what we thought, so it accidentally worked out. File that one under dumb luck I guess.

Once September comes I’ll be moving into the dorm at JCMU where supposedly they have Internets so I can stalk this thread and snoop around in everyone’s business again.

I’ll be an hour or so from a-cho by train so if I start showing up in videos… well you guys can be as shocked as I’ll be.

If anyone has anything going on anymore just call me cause its hard for me to get access to internet. 823-4213. I wont be able to play during the day whenever school starts and probably not on tuesday thursday or friday unless it`s late friday. saturday and sunday are fine for whenever.

In my defense though… silverdragn:
is A. from Jeff city.
B. plays Jam.
And C. Plays on pad!!!

weird huh? Jeff city is the land of silver WARRIORS!!!:lovin:

good shit to everyone yesterday, that was like the closest thing to gunther’s/andrew’s basement I’ve done in a while.

Andrew - please wind up in some a-cho vids, that would be awesome. Also, can u confirm this: Paul said guile can buffer low mk in sf4? SAY IT AIN’T SO MAN!!! SAY IT AIN’T SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

uh awww!!! uh awwww!!!

yeah good shit to everyone in games yesterday. Sorry I didn’t stick around to play more ST, had shit to do.

Man, I give up. There are just no good match vids of SC4 yet. Raphael is retarded (B,B for great victory) and Mitsu has ridiculous oki. :arazz: So far, I am liking Siegfried over Nightmare, but I can see Siegfried having some seriously bad match-ups with his lack of safe, viable moves. Hilde is so completely non-intuitive with as little flow as I have ever seen in a fighter that she just makes me want to learn her even more.

Lack of serious 8wr blows along with the removal of a useful backward GI. Wtf, were they thinking? :lame:

lol, okay, that is kinda weird.

What’s up with backwards GI in SC4? Sorry, I can’t get on the Internet much so I can’t do the research myself…

I wish I could play it ;-; Maybe it’ll get released in arcades later like SC3 did.

Hopefully the arcade in town will get SF4 soon, they have the newest VF, AC, Sengoku Basara X and a bunch of relatively new stuff so I think it’ll happen eventually. If not… there’s always a-cho.

I was reading up on SRK and apparently Chun has some way stupid shit I didn’t know about, I guess she’s just destined to be good in everything these days. She’s supposed to be broken in Tatsunoko too… what was the last game where she was legitimately bad? World Warrior?

I mean I’m not complaining or anything.

lol yeah when I was watching TvC at Evo, it seemed like the majority of people would pick her and then whatever random character they liked.

Travis: I have Monday Sept 1 off for Labor day anyway, so I’ll be around…I just have to see if I can get the 2nd off as well. Either way, I’ll be there Sunday/Monday

Basically, backwards GI places your opponent in a face down position on the ground slightly off axis from you. This is awesome if your character has crazy oki cough Mistu cough but for most characters it is a poor set-up option. Forward GI works like it always did. Maybe they didn’t want a safe, catch-all GI with decent set-up properties? :rolleyes:

Good shit paul. I’ll get in sunday afternoon (prolly between 3-4) and then we can hook up wherever (aarons?) for games. Monday i think the wife and I are going to check out either the zoo or botanical gardens, but then i’ll be ready for more games on monday night. I’ll keep yall up to date.

So I found more goodies after a knockdown from Mitsu… :slight_smile:

Raphael and the sisters seem to be the top tier at the moment. I may try to learn 1 of the sisters, they play pretty much like tekken, block a move, deathfist on the face.

anyone want to play in the next couple of days? Only downside is I can’t host, as my crappy TV is crapping out slowly.

Shenanigans!

I really need to get a freaking PS3…

So many people are down on Astaroth…it’s kinda sad. But I like him.

Fought the best Ivy player I’ve ever seen yesterday online, and he beat me like a rented mule. He was throwing out SS and CS like no tomorrow, in constant motion, switching stances all the time. I wish to hell I could remember his gamertag; I’d love to go up against him again.

So take heart! Not every online player uses the same 3 moves over and over again!

Andrew!

I’m going to buy you a giant fuck-off karaoke machine when you get back

The little beat I screwed around with Astaroth at Pat’s house I found him to be alot better and not nearly as unsafe. Perhaps we can all get together this weekend (Friday or Saturday) to get some games in. I have yet to see any solid Siegfried vids.

P.S. Rock needs a dinosaur femur.

hey Travis, since it looks like Aaron can’t make it to SE-R, you should totally drive and come through Columbia and pick me up. :bgrin: I’ll even pay hellas for gas, cause otherwise I have to drive my wagon to TN (or fly) and that will cost hellas:shake:
