GGXX:Accent Core Thread! [AMERICAN PS2 RELEASE, GO GO GO!]

[Raph_Stryker]

BoF, the sound quality is maddening O.o

good stuff though, running through him changing characters like that.

congrats on winning!

meaty slidehead > giganter loop

[Blake_White]

Most definitely.

Raph: Thanks man.

[The_Juice]

lol at those nc vids…they sound like they was chopped and screwed. but real talk america has made many advances on japan since a few years ago. Our best can easily compete with their best now.

Japan>>>>>>>>>>>>Usa in 2005

but now it’s more about

Japan>>>>Usa.

[Blake_White]

Yeah, I dunno what happened with the sound, something with the way it was recorded.

[grandabx]

That venom was pretty nice. I like how he would hesitate to give the illusion of openings and then nail eddie. Very stylish play.

Also watch the last video BoF posted. He lands HOS’s instant kill in a tournament >_<

I like how at the end when testament was punch spamming him in the air, he slash backed one of the punches and threw him. I’m gonna start doing that to people that try to use punch spam as a setup for a ground throw.

Did you catch when eddie was trying to escape the left corne by flying, but venom poked a slow jab ball and sandwiched eddie when he landed? It’s like these guys have everything planned.

N-Otoko = Rainman

I’ve just started noticing that testament doesn’t like low level projectiles/specials. Bridget’s 1 and 3 yoyo sets kept him pinned-down for a bit.

Um, no…

I imagine bridgett has an easier time vs him than a lot of the cast. Yoyo busts traps and gets him open for the approach, and plus he’s got the pokes and range to battle the zoning bastard.

It comes from when some of us asked Mint and Ruu at Evo 2k6 what America’s biggest issue was at the time. It was kind of misinterpreted after a while, but what they said was that America needs to know when to attack properly and when to defend.

Were they talking about our military strategies or about AC? :looney:

[Moroha]

I can get like 2 1/2 reps of the butt(corner only) but I can’t even get two of the orbs, I’ve gotten it like a handfull of times and never gotten it mid-screen.

Uhm. Are you talking about the Orb loop (dashjump j.S j.HS j.D Orbs) or 2-Hit Orb setup/combos?

Is Byron LH621? Why is there so much good Bridget in the Carolinas

I play too many chars in GG, so I’ve decided to slow down and learn one char in depth, and that’s Sol for me.

I’d like to know:
1.) Some of the top Sol players (EDIT: and not just Kaqn and the rest, I want to see a wide variety of pro Sol players)
2.) Is it best to go for a SW loop after a command grab, or stick with some other combo?
3.) Is Sol a rushdown char? (I play him like one)
4.) Why did they get rid of Dustloops, jk:sad:

Anything else I’ll prolly be readin on Dustloop tomorrow.

1. Kaqn doesn’t play regular Sol. I’ve only see him ever play Order Sol. As for “the rest”, I don’t know who there is besides P.C. and Isa. I’m sure you can find something on Dustloop though.

2. Of course, unless you want to try your hand at Infinite Bandit Revolver-ing Zappa or Potemkin…

3. He’s probably closer to rushdown than half of the cast, but I would agree that he’s really more of the type to bait you into making a mistake rather than being all over you like Millia or Chipp. So I guess he’s you argue that he’s a pressure type character as well, though he has more to override your defenses than say human Ky.

4. Sidewinder Loops look much cooler. That is the reason.

I think I may go to SFSU you again tomorrow, but I’ve yet to decide since I should actually do something with my first day off.

wait is it open tommorow? I’ll show up if it is.

PS: is it ever good to use ABA’s crazy blue mode? Feels like Dragon install to me(only for kicks)

I see what you did there.

I checked the thread in Pacific North and it says that it’s closed over Thanksgiving break. So I would guess no since you asked it like that. Has break for them started already, because I only get two days off this week (from school)?

As for Gokuu Moroha Mode, I think it’s like Dragon Install: Good for kicks, but not for anything else (especially since they she doesn’t have that ridiculous super she apparently had in Slash that could do like 70% to people).

[Moroha]

99% of the time it’s ultra risky and atrocious. You’re burning 50% tension AND a pack for a mode that deals less damage and depletes rather quickly. It’s more to be funny, to be intimidating, or to make use of the invincibility on the super’s activation for one last final combo to win the match.

I don’t recall Byron’s screenname. I have definitely had my fill of Bridget for a while.

slide head won’t trip you if potemkin does sldie head during block stun.

Uhhh… yeah it will. Potemkin has (and has always had) unblockables with this using FDB reflection and other things like forcing air FD of heavy strikes.

Also, you can bait/punish attempts to escape from the Gig unblockable too. Not really worth it most of the time though, as you don’t end up with much damage by doing so. Better to just go into a standard mixup if you don’t think you can hit the Gig unblockable… as you can use the tension for Hammerfall FRC or for big huge damage if you score a hit.

Likewise Potemkin has always had plenty of other unblockables, such as forcing air guard of Giganter into HPB or Heat Knuckle, or people guarding FDB in the air into HPB/Heat and so on.
