Gainesville Thread: Van was a d*** anyways

Just stopping by to say:

How could Justin Wong lose?!

…Oh, wait… HE DIDN’T HAVE A BIONIC ARM! :rofl:

thankfully not lol. 3-0. 6-0 by rounds. never took him lower than half health. i felt like i couldnt react to anything. i hope it was the lag (everyone said the monitor we played on was laggy)

I think someone was recording cause someone had their phone out while they played. You prolly won’t come across it though.
Dude, at least Sanford complimented you. I played like shit the whole tournament and got paired up with a Blanka in loser’s.

Yo it’s Ken. so when’s the next meet, guys? I used to go to Van’s and I want to start picking things back up. let me know.

I might be able to host something saturday. I’ll post again here when it gets closer to confirm. I’ll PM you my info.

how’d you guys do in terms of the tourney?

Went 0-2 in SSF4. Couldn’t get in on a ryu player in my first match. Petey tapped on my shoulder and told me to jump in more. So I did, and he anti-aired me every time. THANKS A LOT PETEY.

Second match was against another honda player. I won the first set easily and then dropped the next two in really close fights with Mike Ross watching. Epic Choke.

Hamilton lost to blanka trolling so now I have an excuse to play troll blanka next time we play ssf4.

Petey went 2-2 and got bodied by tokido in a money match.

Went 1-2 (I got a bye so I got farther) in Super, 0-2 in Marvel. Didn’t play teams, THANKS GUYS.
Played Sanford’s Guy once in casuals, got bodied. :frowning:

While you’re at it Rob, pick up Balrog. I need every bit of down back practice I can get. :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: I remembered WHY I lost to the Blanka player before I went to bed. Terrible night indeed. :frowning:

Yeah I thought about doing this to try to get better at the match. Looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time in the lab with blanka, Rog and my sumo friend.

Finally got back in town. I’m pretty jealous you got to play Tokido petey…how much was the mm?

Also did anyone by chance watch the AH3 tourney? I saw the results but was it hype or no?

$10. i couldnt play to my potential in any of my matches (tourney or MM). jon’s the only one that could possibly tell u about ah3. guess that tells you how hype it was =/

Well…I thought I could possibly have a future playing Marvel 3. Then I played Petey. I’m going to go back to my game where I have get out of jail free Orbs. :frowning:

What are you supposed to do against that Wolverine/Akuma thing? And that Tron assist is ridiculous. Which one is your real team?

Just pick sentinel.

… but then you’ll need another team to counterpick petey’s tron/dog/dorm team.

I picked Sentinel, Then he picked sentinel and proceeded to land that ridiculous fly combo on me. I feel so behind haha

Too much Akane/Schar in my opinion. I personally thought it was good [and I was happy that the Heart player won], but I didn’t really know how to tell which mechanics were in play during the matches. I’m pretty bad at watching matches. It was on the streaming station. Was it streamed? Were they archived like with the TS stream?

The people gathered around were the same people who played in the tournament, if that tells you anything. It didn’t seem to draw much of a crowd beyond the people who were already playing the game. Didn’t help that Marvel/SF teams were going on during top 8.

lol i got lucky during most of our matches. everything worked. i think thats the first time i landed a fly combo online. and this is also the first time im humble thanks to tokido (still mindfucked). and theres not much you can do against wolv/akuma other than strong zoning. its cheap and one dead character leads to another. almost all characters have cheap crossup shenanigans (all of em do if you use sent assist correctly).

i use multiple teams but my main team is the second team i used on you (ammy/akuma/tron) but im still experimenting with ideas so it could change. i know how to use most characters though so dont feel bad that i could just pick whoever and win lol.

What would work well for my Magneto/Wesker/? Team? I was using Dormammu today because he’s just fun but idk if he would really make a good fit.

And Wolverine and Akuma are a big reason why I will never play a ranked match in any game ever again. Everyone online either spams or plays rushdown, and I can’t even come remotely close to beating any of them.

Hammy, check your messages if you haven’t already.

I need to come out here and play you boys again real soon. Shit’s getting boring in my city with everyone playing Marvel. Switching to Chun because that bitch just outclasses Rogster in almost every way except in hmm… 2 matchups, both of which Rog is 6-4 in, haha.

EDIT: Btw, I do stick mods now, so if anyone needs anything done to it: dual mods, LEDs, etc, just let me know. I’ve got pictures of my wire work too and have been told its pretty classy.

Imo mags/wesker dont fit well together. Theyre both built to be battery point characters. Magneto works well with sent assist or other “pinning” assists because he has a good high/low mix up game with his fast overhead fly S. Wesker works well with tron because his command grab and air grab work well with tron. If you really want to use mags and wesker then find a character that allows for cheap mixups. Also test if EM disruptor assist lets u combo off weskers otg gun cuz that opens up so many combo opportunities for him. If not you’ll need to pick a character that allows for such combos
