Gainesville Thread: Help yourself to the fridge, but don't touch my beer

Petey speaks the truth. In normal MTG tourneys the people who spend all their income to buy the strongest decks are going to stomp you. Drafts were pretty fun though and you keep the cards even if you lose.

It’s ok…I’m free to every one of you guys online anyway. But in order for you to land king of tager on my you have to get past my cat hammer and cat missiles.

I think the last time I played MTG was with my dad when I was about ten. I was big into yu-gi-oh until I started like 8th grade, then I stopped cause I was spending way too much money on it. I feel like if I got into MTG I would probably do the exact same thing.

Well I mean I could go and tell you how it is if I ultimately decide to go

Yeah I’m thinking of trying draft. I like the deckbuilding element the most and draft seems like a cool format to do that. I don’t really want to play constructed it just seems like a money sink.

It was good meeting you too. If you’re anything like Phil at marvel then my goal is to walk out with my head held high and bruised and not crawl out bloody and broken (aka winning more than 10 matches out of 100) like I did this past weekend. But, it was fun and now I have some motivation to improve.

Thanks for the compliment. And like yeah all I play is marvel at the moment besides other unrelated fighting games. But yeah I’d suggest though whatever ur main team is, to like first try and find some good damaging combo’s w/ ur main team or combos that you urself know how to do like 95-100% and practice. Also, make sure ur main team has good synergy and is in the most effective order and such. And like yeah, there’s a whole bunch of stuff I could say but if u need any pointers in Marvel ask me. I think I’m quite knowledgeable in them. Also, there’s tons of youtube vids for characters such as combos and such.

Somebody PM me next time you guys get together,because I’m secretly the best MVC3 player in Gainesville. I need to level up

The Watch Thread button is just above and to the right of the first post you see on the page. Then you just wait for a notification when people post here, ala Facebook (probably my first praise towards the new SRK design, I’m adapting though).
If you know anybody that even plays a little bit of fighting games, you should bring them over too. :slight_smile:

That EVO gathering sounds good. Ill try to come out for that one. Rob, ill hit you up later next week about it. I’d like to get FT10s with everyone who’s interested.

Petey: I was thinking of doing some match footage of my Akuma play. Would you mind taking a look at it and giving me some pointers?

And congrats to me. I did my first AE exclusive combo for c.LP in a match. It was kinda sweet looking.

Haha I’m definitely not as good as phil. Glad to hear you had a good time. Hope to see you around again.

Definitely let me know if you’re back in town Chris. I’ll be away from this thursday to monday so I won’t be checking SRK then.

Cowboy, I’ll be sure to PM you my address next time we have a meetup. I need to get my revenge after losing those online matches to you. (I got a feeling phil’s a little better than you in marvel though!)

O a new challenger has appeared. Hope to play against you =D

Man now that I’ve got a better grasp of it, I want to give my other chars a go time permitting (specifically Ryu, e.Ryu, and Bison). Does every character (sans Yun, Makoto, rush down specific characters) have to lame him out as well?

I found this hilarous :v

no. in fact, most characters don’t need to lame him out because theyre better off playing a mixed/offensive game. even some standard keep away characters (guile, sagat, ryu, deejay) are better off taking some offensive risks against akuma. keep in mind jumping in beats many of akumas mid to full screen options including sweep, demon flip, and fireball. if akuma’s allowed to use these moves for free then he’s gonna P on u. i think chararacters like balrog, bison, and chun are better off laming akuma out tho.

OK, what is it going to take to get some real match experience around here!? I had Thanh invite me to a room, I play one match against the host (Not Thanh) and lost. Next thing I know, the host removes me from the room. I know I’m a pathetic player, but C’Mon!

Thanh has fisher price internet.

Just come to meetups.

Carpool with the other ocala guys when you can’t afford it?

Complain on the internet? I dunno what to tell ya.

Oh okay. I wasn’t sure what approach to take mainly because my main offense (frame trapping) can be teleported out of with impunity. Just gotta change that up a bit and make my offense more footsie oriented.
