Gainesville Thread: Van was a d*** anyways

Me too, can’t wait to play top tier Ken. :smiley:
Also Petey, E.Ryu and Oni English VA blows. I’ll admit that they’re better than Akuma’s though.

EDIT: I heard the date is after CEO and before Evo. :lol:

If I’m allowed to play SSF4 Rose against AE characters and no U2 nerf, I will be even more excited.

It’s either or (depends if you decide to update). And in tournaments, it’s AE version only.
Sorry Patrick (and Rob). :confused:

Whatever, I’m having more fun with marvel now.

Just wait until I get Thor’s BnB down pat.

You will all learn to fear the norse gods.

fuck you. just fuck you man. let me land unblockables in peace.

And whats going on this weekend? my birthday is this saturday and my mommy is coming to chill and fuck bitches wit me so i think you’ll have to wait till next week to lose to me in yet another money match

P. S. love this thread

No go for next week, I’m going home that weekend.

EDIT: the console section of the Gator Gaming board is DEAD. There’s no way this is representative of the whole UF campus: they don’t even have a BLACK OPS thread. :rofl:

EDIT2: should I not even bother posting about CEO on their boards, and instead advertise in the (possible) SF tourney they’ll have?

Don’t waste time learn Thor, he is so bad.

So what is with Akuma bad against Rog? Is it because he got couching fierce?

-Random “hit” EX Headbutt with Ultra stocked up = near death and corner
-Besides DF palm OS U2 nothing covers every option he has (DF palm OS delayed sweep is close)
-Good footsies and goes through fireballs well
-Blockstrings/frame traps have to be on point or else you eat a combo starting from c.LP
-Apparently fake crossup j.HK doesn’t work on him

EDIT: Rob just picked overused chars like Mags, Wesker, Tron, Amaterasu, Doom…

that pretty much covers it. that last bullet isnt too significant though considering that only works on 9 characters. rog is personally my hardest matchup.

balrog has a 50/50 escape with ex headbutt/backdash alone because demon flip + k air resets a backdashing balrog. even without the escape, balrog is hard to pressure off of safe jumps because he pushes the opponent away extremely far when waking up so that even after a safe jump u are not close enough to use the strongest blockstrings and frame traps. balrog has akuma beat on the ground, and he has good wake-ups options whether people will admit it or not.

balrogs j. fierce is much more of a problem than his cr. fierce too, because that move controls so much air space in front of rog, making neutral jumping and demon flips dangerous, 2 things u really rely on for dealing with TAPs and dash punches.

all in all, fuck that match up

and use thor rob. he doesnt suck

If 12 - 8 is still happening Saturday, expect me and Tran after we both get out of work :smiley:

Petey, you forgot j.roundhouse. That thing is like Blanka’s or Chun’s j.roundhouse BS.

I was playing Hansel and Matt last night and my Thor was free to Hansel’s Hulk. Switched him out momentarily for morrigan and cleaned shit up.

I’m still dropping Thor’s bnb though… got a long way to go.

I won’t be able to show up this week. I’m way too far behind in my classes, and since exams are coming up, I’m probably going to spend the weekend studying.

i have a request-- can we make like a google group or /something/ so that we can get a heads up of when the next meets are instead of constantly checking this thread? with google groups, anyone who wants to host something can just email one address and it’ll forward to anyone in the group.

Sure. Do you need a gmail address for google groups though? Would it be better than facebook? Or I can just do like van and send a text when there’s a game.

Never thought I’d say this but… what about a twitter account?

OK, I just made a twitter called gainesville_SRK

I’ll post meetup announcements on that twitter account and also on this thread.

At least now I have a purpose for my twitter :sweat: Followed.

gonna try to show u today, but i have to work at 4 so its going to cut my session pretty short. if i dont catch you guys today i’ll see you next week for sure.

Dammit, Rob. Facebook would have been so much better.
I guess it’s about time I break out my Twitter account. /shame

EDIT: Must’ve deleted it cause they don’t even recognize my email…
