Garou: MOTW Thread

Finally a new set of matches between me and Master Giby here is the playlist and enjoy.

Awesome videos man. Is terry banned from tournaments because my friend said that he is too cheap to be playable in tournaments.

^ Thats not true

Quick question when you get a hit on someone who’s life is near TOP and hit them such that they enter TOP will the hit count as a counter hit or simular? Cos it seems like they’re in hit stun for longer.

Also do you guys (Noc and Master Giby) play on pad or stick? If stick what layout do you prefer? Cos I absolutely hate the old skool Neogeo layout.

First thing Terry isn’t cheap at all so anyone that thinks that has no clue about the game at all.

When you hit someone as they go into TOP mode it causes the game to freeze for a slight bit. During that time stun time for the attack hitting them stays the same. It just seems like it’s longer because the TOP activation happens at the same time as they are being hit. If you land a counter hit and they go into TOP activation you wont see the Counter Hit show up on the screen. The Top mode words overlap the counter hit text when that happens.

As for me I use stick all the time but I can also use pad if I need to use it. Giby mostly uses a regular PS2 pad but he really wants to get a stick cause he hates it. His main weapon is the neogeo stick for the AES where he really plays his all on it. I have a custom made japanese sanwa stick with the 6 button capcom layout. I use the 7 shape layout for all snk games on any system which goes:

B C D
A

I like the old school layout but I can also use the box layout:

AC
BD

and also the Line layout:

ABCD

But I always use the 7 layout whenever I can I just need to adust a bit to use the other layouts. Hope this helps.

Cool thanks for the quick reply.

I personally can only use the box layout. The thing that always gets me with the other layout is that A and B button would of switched places so I get times where I press A thinking it was B and vice versa :looney:

For some reason I ca only use the original Neo Geo stick for SNK fighters. But in all the vids you see I’m on a PS2 pad, bitching and whining about nothing coming out, while Noc laughs at me and beats me down.

I always try to keep my layout similar to:

-BCD
A

I really suck with the box layout on any pad/stick.

I’d just stick to the line layout of ABCD…and Terry banned? That’s a bag load of BS if I ever heard one.
Speaking of Terry I was messing around with him in training mode and for some reason was unable to do this combo-
Jumping C–>Standing C-Feint->Standing CxxF, D, DF+K, BREAK–>B. Wolf
I could SWEAR I was able to do it before but can’t know for some reason…

Hehe but you still do quite well in those vids. Wish I lived where you guys lived. Garou here in England gets no love :crybaby:.

Nah you wouldn’t want to live out here in the desert, nothing to do out here really. The nearest decent arcade is over an hour away and mostly capcom love there. It’s mainly just me and Giby when we get together to play when we can, both are usually busy with school. Whenever Magician is free and we are as well we meet up to get some games at his pad. Same for REdsunMisfit whenever he has a chance to go along with us. There still isn’t enough Garou love here really it’s just another small group of players that wants to get better. Hopefully eventually more players will come join our meets and set some type of community for it.

Lol its not that great here in London either there are a few arcades worth going to but again most of them consist of Capcom games.

Just wanted to confirm something. Does JDing affect your guard bar? I ask cos I recall a time when I was playing this fool who did nothing but fireballs with Hotaru. So I was just JDing them for across the screen just to take the mick. However after a while I was close to being guard crushed even when JDing. So I went as far as possible with JDing and my guard broke soon after. While it did take ages to reach this state I just wanted to double check since in the Wiki it says JDing doesnt affect your guard meter.

As far as i know it doesn’t affect the Guard Bar…Well its not suposed to. Thats half the point of JDing.

Hey MVS is the Arcade Neo Geo board right? I could plug that into a Jamma Supergun with a Converter right?

Yep, you can hook it up to a supergun.

Alright thanks. Been lookin to put together a supergun for a time now and my recent love for MOTW has made me want to make sure how i do it can get me some Neo Geo love as well.

The game lags a bit when TOPs in… so, consequently it feels like there’s a sort of stun. Helps missing combos too :smiley:
And if you counter hit to TOP in, no corner message will be displayed… One cancel each other maybe :o

Yea its true about combos going to hell but if you have good execution it can still come out if you input it during the TOP activation. That is probably one of the things they should have fixed in the game but if you play enough you barely notice it.

I don’t have good execution :p… I mean, not that good ^^
