Wow. Who knew that Yacano’s gf was such a huge American Chopper fan.
JP: I’ll trade you cards for my leet 1-11 yoshimitsu.
I haven’t seen too many cool King items yet. Don’t think anyone has the cool anime head yet (500K gold).
Jp I actually just thought Roger jr. is a cool looking character, but now that you say he has a highly abusive move he will definitly be my character, what is that move by the way? lol
Alpha Three = Awesomesauce.
Yeah how about my 127-157 mad niggerish Raven…oh yeah 60k points BITCHES
Oh yeah i played mikey last night and owned his face.
Shinomori: Which person were you that I played? My eyes kinda get glazed over after I play for extended periods of time, and I go into cruise control. That’s why you don’t really hear me say much after a while. While you’re playing though, feel free to ask me any questions about the game or whatever.
Psychoballz: Were you that one white guy that kinda hung around after everybody left? Roger never really had abuseable moves. A couple of scrub killer moves though. f, n+1 on block gave you a free cd+1, but that hit high. His ss game might seem abuseable though, since he can ss+4 which is a low that yields a juggle or ss into a hop kick which also gets you a juggle.
I haven’t really heard much good from KOF Neowave. All my friends back in Seattle were disappointed in it.
For all of you that are new to the games, I’d actually experiment with characters first before just buying cards for characters. Although $5 might not be a lot, it’s better to buy a card for a character you’re sure you want to play than buying one on a whim. I’m actually not all that into my Asuka right now, but I bought the card since I wanted a new character card. I think Feng Wei is actually a better fit for me based on my play style, but I guess I’ll at least finish off this card and pimp her out a bit.
Yup, I brought a card for only two bucks today. Just put two bucks in and all of a sudden a card pop out, so I got lucky! Then I beat a scrub 4 times to get 4k points.
I think I’m somewhere around 90-69 or something now, 56% wins. I’m going to save up for Pirate Eyepatch, maybe red top w/ black bottom for Paul’s biker outfit.
yeah I kinda regret starting a Yoshimitsu card. I don’t think I’ll use him as a main char. I’m doing better with Jack.
pretty hard to rack up that many games down here. one of the golflands down here needs to get a second cabinet.
Someone be a whore and post their tier list.
I think RDC crew is too powerful.
RDC crew?
It’s hard to post a tier list right now without all the trc out yet. It’s like the situation with T4, and how Jin was a trc and ended up the best character.
From what I’ve seen so far from the vids and tournament results and the playing that I’ve done so far, this is how I see it.
Top tier
Steve
-1,2,1
-df+2 now launches on hit
-d+1 a new quick low, something he was lacking in T4
-Can cancel into sways and flicker to not only evade but make him safe on block
-Free 1,2,1 after a blocked f+3_4, f+2. Once they start ducking they’re risking a launch with f+3_4, 2.
-Lots of guard breaking and sideturns on blocked moves.
-If you’re stuck on the wall, Steve’s gonna get you with a 10 string and a possible db+2 on you.
Julia
-Elbow is as great as ever
-She really benefits from the new crush system with her elbow, df+1, and hopkick.
-With the increased damage, more floaty launches, and easy juggling again Julia’s gonna jack more than half your life when launched.
-She finally has a safe launcher on block now.
-f+3 goes over lows which makes for even a stronger okiezeme.
-The increased time for buffering throws now allows for even better Mad Axes setups.
I’ll probably do the upper mid tier list in a bit, and the rest sometime tomorrow.
Upper mid tier (no particular order)
Nina
-df+1,2 and all that stems from it. This is probably as important if not more important to her than 1,2 being that it’s mid.
-d+4,1_ss now that the d+4 is low again, this can be used to chip away at your opponent and plus it’s great with to crush jabby jabs.
-1+4 isn’t as slick as it was in T4, but it’s still useful. You’re neutral on block so at least you’re initiating the mixup. On hit, it’s still the forced crouch. It’s still the stance crusher and works for okiezeme.
-uf+1 can be used to close the distance (something Nina lacked before) as well as end juggles to put Nina in good position for okiezeme.
-f+3 is a great poke crusher at range and it guard breaks on block, but it can be ducked after the first hit is blocked.
-Her ss cancels now actually have the moves that come out of her regular ss so it give her more options.
-All of her wonder juggles are back now, damage city.
-df,df+1 throw can be buffered quite easily now. I’ve actually been doing it on accident from df+1, df+1.
-uf+1+2 throw into the wall means meaty damage for Nina.
Feng Wei
-He has a lot of quick lows.
-ss+4 and ss+1+2 mixups.
-Sweeps, b+2,3,4,2, ff+3, 3~4 and what comes after okiezeme.
-df+1 puts him at +1 on block, and on ch causes the new “ass drop” animation putting him in position for mad mixups.
-b+1 is the 8 frame jab killer. It’s only 7 frames and you can bait people into getting hit by it after they block your moves.
-Decent backturned game, but he needs to watch out how he gets into backturned. Stuff like 1,2,2~b on block isn’t safe.
-f+2,1 mixups. f+2,1 either puts you at neutral or at a slight advantage, so you can push the mixup of finishing with the mid 2, df+1+2 throw, or whatever you see fit.
-Unchickenable punch parry.
-Overall right now, he seems to be very good in close and mid range. He has plenty of moves that put him at + on block, and he has no fear of 8 frame jabbers.
Law
-Still as quick as ever.
-His new moves from backturned adds to the damage he can do in juggles.
-The fc,df,d,df+4 or ws+2 mixup is still as deadly as ever.
-Dragon cancel still allows him to bait people into eating dragon stance moves and if they block that, makes him relatively safe.
-Parry into dragon stance cancel = free damage.
-New low juggle starter on ch.
Bryan
-The new quick low db+3 really opens up chip damage/mixups for Bryan
-His cd finally covers ground and is useful on its own instead of just for his ws moves.
-Any launcher = 50% damage
-On wall, free 1,2,1 into df+3
-Now with the new ff+1+2 throw, there’s really no need to use the com throw except for show.
-Same old f+1+2, and b+1 to cover ground and cause guard break, but I’ve noticed these moves as well as the ws_qcf+3 either covers less ground or has smaller hit boxes.
-Punch parry = free damage (except for Steve)
-Mach punch (ff+2) pushes hella far away now and guard crushes on block.
NotoriousPip: I was the one that played you with Paul 2x besides well Paul hehehe. I think you used Jack5 first then Nina the next one. Yea, I’m really strapped on cash and thanks to JC and Paul, well I was able to play the game for that much last weekend. Though cool to see yer willing to teach everyone though, that’s tight. We need more of you guys (like Avarus and Rob too).
Chris: Man, lol I just heard he has an abussive move, I dunno if there really is though :D.
Gary: Hehe, no ; ;. Sorry, I suck at the game and having a Yoshii Card might not help me. Though if you give it to me for $5.00 I’m willing to buy it :D.
Tantin: Don’t need to concern about things you don’t need to know :D. So don’t worry about what RDC means.
Paul: LOL the C in RDC is Crew foo, omg.
Electrify: LOL, nice, keep beating on them foo’s. Then change her colors.
JC: LOL you beating some more scrubs?? LOLOLOL. I guess that’s the way to get your points nowadays huh :p.
Announcement for everyone, I guess there will be a Canadian that will be here on December 29, 2004. He claims he’s the best in Canada in CvS2 and MvC2. Chris, if you wanna kick some ass, (OR SUTTIE SINCE HE THINKS HE IS THE SHIT) go to that forum down in the Pac South (LOL yes, it’s in Pac South forums), he has his Email on it. Hit him up, and beat his ass. I have better things to do than pay attention to some ass that thinks he’s such a bad ass comming from Canada.
JP
P.S. NotoriousPip: Hey man, you feel Nina is that high?? Cool beans, but just wondering, where’s king at in your opinion.
HOLY FUCK WATCH OUT GUYS
THE TOP CANADA PLAYER WE’VE NEVER HEARD OF IS COMING TO STEAL OUR MONIEZ
haha i’d give him 3 games to block one of my morrigan’s mix-ups. ;3
LoL @ CvS2. 
Top Canada player? Is it Spider-Tao?

Shinomori: Yeah, I think Nina is that high, and it’s not because she’s been one of my main characters since T3. I’m actually not playing her properly at the moment. I’m still stuck in jabby jab and 1+4 whoring mode from T4, but once I get into T5 mode watch out for :unlimitedpressure: She’s more about pitbull/mixups now, so there will be a lot more variety in her pressure.
King seems about mid mid tier or low mid tier. His basic ground game seems to be back to TTT status so that’s a plus. He has a couple really quick new moves that right now seem like they improve his game. Time will really tell if they’re good because they’re simply new. Throws are still there, but when you break it down, you’re not gonna catch anybody good with a full multipart unless they’re sleeping. His hopkick benefits from the crush system crushing all lows, and it seems to have added range now, but it’s still not safe on block. Jaguar stance seems all right, but nothing that you’ll be using all the time. He has a new right punch reversal which is an added bonus. The thing if you want to play King is you’re not going to be pitbulling all the time like Paul. You can pressure for a while with d+1,2 and df+1,2, but you’re going to be spending a lot of time turtling looking for openings. And when you’re actually pressuring them, you’re trying to get them to eventually eat one of your hopkicks.
Uh, I’m pretty sure that Tao is the best in Canada at MvC2. He comes down to Seattle every so often and Seattle players go up to Van as well, and he does really well.
Does this guy place well in tournaments?
Well I emailed JJ and we’ll see what’s up, I told him to bring in some BC bud and we’ll play cvs2 for money.
I’m still gonna use Roger jr. he just looks cool and I always liked the lizard and kangaroo from the other T’s.
Oh yeah notorious I am that white guy, I didn’t introduce myself I was trying to remember every paul move I used to know from my T2 and 3 days. Was that your brother playing with you?
Tantin you like A3, I like the game too we should play, I use A Dhalsim, Rose, Sodom, Birdie, Balrog.
