Anyone wanna play some turd strike tonight?

mcjustin if you want to play tonight we can play

I play Alex, I should have quit 3S before I downloaded it.

well if anyone wants to play lemme know, just going to keep grinding it out

As a new person to the competitive fighting game community, what keeps me around and wanting more is not only you guys, but the fun i have with learning a new game. Capcom can keep releasing as many modes and versions and they will always get my money because i like to stay around and current, and because SF is just fun. I want capcom to keep making fighting games, So i will give them my money; To me i like learning about the small tweaks in my character or the possibility of my character getting better… So despite it being a rip off as long as they are producing fighting games i will keep buying them as long as i have an interest in them, just because i have fun playing them. DJ has mentioned he wont play Marvel competitively because it is broken but he loves playing it because its fun. This is what keeps me motivated and my money in Capcoms deep deep pockets, plus in the long run the experience and people i met for shelling out a few hundred bucks for games and fighsticks and to keep a community thriving is worth it. Im not nearly good enough to place well in any tournament but i still give my money for them. Just my /02 see you all the 18th :smiley:

Me and Eric (Kung Lao) got this!

I’m almost positive that xray tag combo is impossible due to tag attacks taking meter.

Sent from my Atrix

I’m sad I can’t make it to Gaming Etc. now. I was getting pretty hype to be able to make it out to a tournament even though I’ve hardly touched AE or MvC or MK in a while.

Fast tag takes away meter?

I thought it boost meter just like wake up attacks.

Because MVC3 is fun. It’s just not competitive. I feel the exact same about AE. It’s fun…i just can’t see myself dishing out money for it…

Garrett, you’re basically telling me because you can’t handle some criticism, that you cry that NE talks shit about each other behind their backs, but I never see you around… so, how do you know that? Just sayin.

Also, name me one game you personally feel take skill to play.

Just pressing the tag button doesnt. Tag comboing takes meter.

Justin. The x-ray combo is possible, he used fast tag combos which allows you to alternate between characters during combos without use of meter.
Enhanced Tag (DF+tag) does a quick snap-in with your partner’s enhanced special move (IE, liu kang dissapears and kung lao comes into the screen with enhanced hat spin) or Assist (DB+tag) and both require one bar to use.

MVC 1 and 2, CVS2, Xmen VS Street Figther, Super Turbo, Alpha 3, KOF 99, SF 4 (Vanilla) and high level SF 3. I think that any level of SF 3 looks like poop until its at its highest point. It’s a very random game. I still think SF 3 takes more skill than AE and MVC3. In fact, all those games takes more skill and tech than MVC3 and AE.

You know, people always run that argument that, “Well, the best players still always win.” but as time progresses, thats not going to be the true case. We’ve already seen that at Evo this year and in tournaments recently with MVC3 and as we go forward no namers are going to keep doing better and better. It’s not because they are “really good or are prodigys”…it is because the competitive engine is getting worse.

Fuudo, Poongko, Daigo, Tokido, Kindevu. All unknown and definitely not the best of the best players in AE.

Don’t forget Latif, he was never known before EVO this year.

EDIT: Oh, Also forgot Viscant, you know, the guy who knew about option selects during MVC1. Naw he’s not a big name in any way.

League Of Legends.

MVC3 is bad because it is “random” but the best game ever, 3S, is also “random”.

i HATE tim and eric. But that is just too fucking hilarious!

wish i could double like that, i’m still laughing
