Alright so is this shindig on Saturday at 1 pm? I should be able to stop by for a few hours (maybe longer cuz I really don’t wanna help the roommate move haha)
Yep 1pm saturday. I’ll PM you my address.
Really? Where is it? The only Gainesville thread I see is this one from back in 2006:
http://shoryuken.com/f20/gainesville-thread-mvc2-gainesville-fl-110016/
Our thread disappeared. This was the old link:
http://shoryuken.com/f20/gainesville-players-where-you-189702/
But it’s gone now, for whatever reason.
it got closed/full and i guess removed but u can still find it if u google “gainesville players, where are you” and click on the cached version.
van i thought u were finally gone…ughh w/e a few more hours…
We’ve been on the front page of matchmaking for quite a while now…but whatever. I don’t want to start a pointless rant.
That’s cuz Petey doesn’t shut the fuck up. :lol:
EDIT: so AH’s fadc/roman cancel is A+B+C? Oh man, I got so much to adjust to. XD
Aren’t there two ways to cancel animations in this game? I’ve always thought of homing canceling like FADC/Baroque while I’ve thought of EFC like RC in terms of cost. I’m under the impression that homing canceling is used a lot more than EFC because your meter regenerates quicker, but I never really used EFC, so I’m not really sure how fast the… other thing regenerates.
Edit: I mean homing canceling is more convenient to use for canceling unsafe/whiffed attacks as well as extending combos compared to EFC because it takes a little while for the EFC bar to recharge (I think…?).
Edit 2: Also, the AH3 thread in the EVO forum is hilarious, only because I recognize a lot of the names from Dustloop and Melty Bread.
i never played TvC, but doesn’t baroque give you like speed buffs and stuff?
i think EFC can only be done on the ground, but it lets you do stuff your char normally can’t chain and stuff like that and i think it gives you temporary stat buffs (might be just certain arcanas that do this tho… not entirely sure) based on your arcana, it also gives you some kinda bonus status as well (plant regens your life, evil adds poison to all your attacks… so on)
EFC takes your burst bar, while HC takes your super bar, but when you EFC, your burst bar fills up fairly quickly again
i think in most situations, EFC combos do more damage than HC combos, and you can still end your combos with a super even if you only have 1 super bar (also i don’t think you exit EF mode even if you are at 0% until your combo is over)
and in terms of being more safe, i think EFC is more safe cuz you don’t have to dash after the cancel (which can be punished a lot easier than doing like unsafe EFC block or something) (same reason why i think FADC is a lot less safe than gg/bb RC)
Yeah, you’re right. I found a tutorial video right after I posted here. From what I’m reading, HC is more practical and EFC is more for LOLDMG. I dunno how fast the burst bar fills up after EFC though.
Baroque cancels your attack animation and adds damage to the next attacks in your combo depending on the amount of red bar you used. I don’t remember it giving speed buffs, but I haven’t played the game in a while.
I understand that EFC allows you to chain moves you normally couldn’t, but that wasn’t my point. My point was that using EFC as opposed to HC means you couldn’t burst for a certain amount of time and wasn’t something you should be using as frequently as HC (like, for example, for canceling blocked moves). I just looked it up, though, and the recovery time isn’t bad, so, never mind.
Honestly, I just speculate, since I’m pretty bad at most fighting games and it seems really easy to create ridiculous pressure in AH3. The plant healing seems pretty useful though, and I didn’t know that.
For the data here: Extend Force - Arcana Heart 3 Wiki
It’s in seconds, right? 4 doesn’t seem bad.
Edit: Lol, I kinda want to play your Jin again, Hamilton, because you have Jin as your avatar. Is it just for the joke or do you practice with him a lot in your spare time?
He’s my main in BB because I suck with everyone else. 
Even then I can’t say that the SF > BB transition was as smooth as I hoped. lol
EDIT: you guys should test the EF recovery this weekend.
Yes, EF combos do more damage than normal based on the passive effects of your arcana and the effects you gain once you activate EF. Plus your attacks become faster…no matter what arcana you pick. The time on EF is around 3 seconds.
About bursting…there’s pretty much two types of bursting. And offensive burst in which you use EFC to extend your combo. When you do this your EFC bar regenerates in about 20 seconds. A defensive burst is when you are in trouble and you mash dat C+E. If you do this the game recognizes it was defensive and your EFC bar can take a whole match to regenerate. Just thought I’d clear things up. For me EFC combos aren’t that hard, but it’s hard to HC after Uruma with Kamui still…
Oh yeah…and the regeneration on for the plant arcana really isn’t that useful. And TvC’s baroque didn’t give you speed boost…just a power boost based on how much red life you had.
EDIT: Hey jon you free for some matches right now?
Ha, it’s better than mine. My transition from BB > SF was realizing I was bad at the “fundamentals” of every fighting game.
Sorry Matt, I’m at school right now, using computers before class. Are you allowed to link SBO matches here? I felt like looking up some MBAA matches since I brought up Melty Bread, and the MBAA top 4 were ridiculous…
Edit: That being said, the winner went 2-0 in the finals.
Also, registered for Homing Cancel. I think I’ll just lurk for now.
Ah damn…oh well you think you’ll be able to play some tonight?
Anyone interested in teaching my how to play marvel 2 before 3 comes out? Or just playing some really scrubby games?
lets rob. anyone with marvel 2 gtf on
I can’t now. Still at the office. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow at my place.
I thought I was going to be able to, but I guess I’m having some friends over. Gah, sorry.
lol at thread title, I think Van secrectly ask Bob to close this thread with the title.
So are you guys all going to get mvc3 on xbox?
