Columbia, MO: The art of infinite rushdown

Teh lolicops?

Omg, all the way out at Nifong? :sweat: Dang it, I was planning to walk to the tournament :arazz: Guess I better find a City Bus that goes out there

Dude, considering we’re like… picking up and housing people from out of town I think we can spare a ride for one of our own :stuck_out_tongue:

yes

but that will only make him happier

:wink:

How about this

How about you bitches get your own thread

Why is everybody all up in my fries lately

edit: Josh I don’t know if you still check this thread since it’s just “Columbia, MO: Let’s All Piss Andrew Off” but I’m thinking of trying to get my hands on this pinball machine:

Drop-A-Card

Do you know where I should start looking? Any way you could ask Big Dan for advice?

Dude, totally good games. I just got frustrated in the mirror match because I forgot how to block low :rofl: :annoy:

Those were def. some good Buri/Johnny matchups, we’ll have to play some more before the tourney (that’s if I can go, ie. I’m not working that day :bgrin:)

I have a similar problem, I don’t block at all

Actually pretty much every player here except maybe for Shohaib has this problem so you’re not alone there. I’m not gonna preach because defense is the hardest thing about the game and my own pretty well sucks, but one thing I’ll say is Billy has been by far the most frustrating person in town to play against ever since like mid-#R and he basically crouch FDs like crazy and very rarely backdashes or jumps back to get out of pressure.

I don’t really know how to explain it but if I know how you’re trying to get out of whatever I’m doing I’m immediately going to have an answer unless I’m playing a character for whom I don’t have a good set of mixups yet, and most of the players here have defense that works less on their read on what the opponent’s going to do and more on an autopilot “I’m scared” level.

I dunno, a lot goes into GG and it’s easy to miss why shit is hitting you sometimes. If the only factor in mixups was “he went high when I thought he’d go low” or “he threw me when I expected an attack” then a huge portion of the cast wouldn’t even be able to land hits on a consistent basis. Like, if I play basically any random Ky out there he won’t hit me with 5D and I’ll counterthrow all of his ticks – but if you put me against someone like Scott, Veteru or Clayton, they have an understanding of how Bridget wants to move around the screen in the matchup and can figure out when and why I’m trying more to get out than to sit back and guess. In their hands all of a sudden Ky is this grappler with an unblockable overhead, or a lockdown god, or whatever the situation calls for.

That’s not directed at you BTW, but basically at everybody in Columbia who’s into Guilty Gear except for Billy.

Four hours until work and I’m still wide awake ;-;

Yeah, but I meant in just those particular matches I started stand blocking at points where I knew not to, just did it anyway. It’s like I completely forgot key things about Johnny :lol: . The throws, however, I have no excuse for :rofl:

Yeah, I wasn’t even referring to those specific matches it’s all good. I mean you haven’t played in like… since Omaha? I was just bored since I was up all night last night and felt like lecturing you guys

I’m about to start Portrait of Ruin… wish me luck

lmao. Daaammmmmnnnn:wgrin:

I claim this thread in the name of me.

Come to STL! I have Fridays and Saturdays off now.

andrew, you wanna do the MW team RR thing at MON? Cause I don’t really care, so I figured you would know if it would be worth it or not. I guess we could take out the Guilty Gear Team tournament if people really wanted the RR thing. What about that AKA challenge thing…we could do that too, but its up to you cause I have no idea if its worth it to do that stuff at MON.

Rex0r wanted cvs2, I knew someone would ask for it eventually. I figure if there’s more than 8 people for it, then I guess we could do it, if they set it up and stuff.

My copy of CvS2 is a piece of shit, the music doesn’t play in it except for in battles, and the game freezes when I get to the secret bosses or I try accessing the Options and Character Edit menus.

I just bought KOF 2000 & 2001 thinking they would be good…but it turns out their the worst fighting games I EVER played. Piece of crap SNK…

George don’t hate:sad:

The AKA Kumite is a MWC event, so people from a ton of other regions will be able to participate.

I should have one of those for TMNT Tournament Fighters. Probably won’t last as long though.

LOL ^

Anyway, Merry Christmas Everyone!

merry bitchmas bitches

The Wii is pretty much the coolest thing ever, I went nuts and bought like eight games on the Virtual Console

Of those I will probably actually finish approximately 0

:open_mouth: you buy zelda?

Yeah I bought Zelda 1 on the VC, my brother got me Twilight Princess too

Mostly I’m just gonna play Super Swing Golf
