Be in the BYOC area Fri/Sat. We have times in mind, but it will be better to figure it out at the show once we figure out players sched for the event.
alright good to know, fayk we should meet up at evo regardless of who gives them the most free wins, santa cruz isn’t that far from san jose, maybe in the future we could get some offline games in and battle it out for the scrub crown.
That would be pretty cool. It’s not far, definitely, and I work on this (ie, silicon valley’) side of the hill - just gotta plan because I often carpool.
Thanks for the info Giby!
I like the idea/ridiculousness of living an hour from you only to have to go to EVO to play Garou live, though, haha!
i had the same thoughts lol.
Since I think everyone that wants to play this here in Vegas doesn’t care or is in SSF4AE, that would be perfect timing for us lol. Hell MvC3 wouldn’t be to bad either lol. I think the only main games peeps are entering are BlazBlue and MK9. As for side tourney there is like 15 of us entering AH3.
Just a heads up. Total Eclipse is happening tonight. Check these links for updates:

??2011 THE 9th ARCADIA CUP TOURNAMENT
There should be a lot of good matches. A lot of the big names will be there. This will be worth checking out.
Found something interesting on NeoGaf while randomly searching for more news on Neo Geo Station games.
“Garou: Mark Of The Wolves has been confirmed as a 2011 release.
This section will be updated in the upcoming months”
I guess take this for what its worth.
That’s good news though if it’s true. Hopefully they improve on the netcode from the 360 version, when it does come out. So now people will have more options to play the game on next gen consoles.
Noc, as a player new to Garou on a competitive level and one that will buy the PS3 version, is Just Defense essential for learning the game? My mains are Grant and Freeman.
If I manage to arrange the trip to Evo, I’ll gladly join you guys for MOTW.
Although it would be super sweet if we could get RB2 going as well. That’s my #2 game next to Garou.
I can answer this: yes, absolutely. If you can’t JD, then you can’t GC, so you’re severely limited in what you can do against players who know the game in and out.
Well JD is very important since it gives you life and it creates openings for certain things. You also need to JD to GC into specials/supers which is also essential in the game. It’s possible to just JD really well without GCing much. Some good examples of that are in the Total Eclipse finals.
Eclipse top 8 for those who care.
- Gonchan (Hotaru)
- akki (Jenet)
- Amenomori (Terry)
- Wata (Jenet)
- Tamura (Marco)
- konta (Hotaru)
- atsu (Dong Hwan)
- naoyan (Dong Hwan)
What I like about the results is no Grant, Kevin and Gato made the finals. I suppose Kain also.
Isn’t jennet like right up their though? with Grant Kevin Gato? Or has that changed? I guess she doesn’t have stupid 1 frame supers like the other people do…
Pretty crazy Hotaru won though, I want to watch more of the vids, I wish high quality would go up on youtube.
Actually, Jenet does have a 0 frame super (her kick supers). Now that I think of it, just about everyone in the game has one except for Terry, Freeman, and Kain. Anyways, those were some really great matches. I need to set aside some time later to rewatch it and take some notes.
Yes she is one of the tops. People tend to complain more about Kevin and Grant overall though.
This shows all the characters that have 0 frame supers:
I’m very surprised at two things; a Hotaru player winning and Wata getting 4th. Not enough to change my opinion of Hotaru, but I can’t remember a Hotaru ever winning a tourney.
Since i play Hotaru I like this. Gives me hope lol
Hotaru raped the competition.
