Iowa: Maize of Defeat

It saddens me that all of you guys have 360s, lol. I’d like to get some Marvel games in sometime if you guys have anything going on anytime soon locally. I’m really trying hard to not hate this game. I was one of the preorder people that capcom fucked over and I got my game pretty late…and when it finally arrived it was in the middle of me being super sick. Now that I’ve degermified myself I’ve been trying to play but I’m having a hard time taking characters I like and building a team that actually works.

Grog, you still on GGPO all the time?

Billy and I troll the world together, so it’s a possibility. I’m a tall, Irish dude with short hair, glasses and usually a five-o’clock shadow. If that doesn’t ring a bell, we ain’t never met, lol.

Ok, gloves off now… shit just got personal!

Kamig, pm me that emu+ah3. I don’t care if I don’t even like the damn game, them EC muthafuckaz gon be MADD sorry they fucked with me!!!

jubatuba: If it’s any consolation, I just hate animals!

I wouldn’t say all the time, in fact I haven’t played ST since Marvel dropped honestly. I need to get back to it but when I get on GGPO it’s always a bunch of non US trolls who are laggier than hell. I’m on Supercade more often than GGPO now but not many people are on there unfortunately. I need to get back into it though to get ready for the ST tourneys coming up this summer.

Nope doesn’t ring a bell.

… link? :wgrin:

So we decided on March 20 for our next tourny. Hopefully, peeps can make it out. Here’s the thread link: http://shoryuken.com/f7/3-20-wms-iv-cedar-rapids-ia-mvc3-ssf4-t6-267431/#post10341183

Much as I’d luv to, I don’t think they archive stream chat.

Lemme summarize:
Bitch-ass EC taking my AH skills lightly coz I haven’t been to any major tournies* in a while so I’m gonna put those fuckers in their place.

*in other words, EC tournies (I was at evo, of which those assholes weren’t!). Shit pisses me off coz, hell, those assholes don’t leave their fucking coast and criticize me for not spending cash I don’t have to go to their events.

Just to let everybody know MN is going to be hosting a large-scale 2-day tournament the first weekend of April. Details at: http://shoryuken.com/f7/games-n-go-presents-combo-breaker-april-2nd-april-3rd-mounds-view-minnesota-266057/ or GNG Championships: Combo Breaker.

We’re going to have tons of setups, side tournaments, casuals stations, after hours events, and more. I know I’d definitely like to see some of the Iowa competition putting our scrubs in their places and challenging the elite.

Hope to see everyone in April.

I feel a bit left out now.

Hey, guys. I picked up MVC3 a few days ago and I’ve been playing SSFIV since it came out. I’m pretty rusty with third strike and not as rusty with Guilty Gear. It’s pretty cool to see that Iowa has a strong fighting game community. Just thought I’d intro.

  1. I love your AV.

  2. It’s Shamrock Shake month. Goodbye paychecks!

1.) thanks, I knew there’d be some dr. who fans (or maybe you just like it lol)

2.) at 2AM last friday my girlfriend forced me to drive to mcdees. They said they were only serving #3 & 4. So then I asked for a Shamrock shake and this tiny squeek of a voice came through saying “Are you sure that’s what you want?” I turned to her and she had a flare of rage in her eyes and said, “Listen you, I know you should be serving more right now and I know, for a fact, the shamrock shake is out today. You will make it and you will not spit in it or so help me I’ll come here tomorrow and talk to the manager” (<- paraphrase, she was drunk and swearing).

EDIT: I sure wish I knew why they kept re-sizing my image to 97/64 when the orig is 160/103?

Yeah def a Who fan, but Shamrock Shakes are that serious. As for the size I think you need to buy Premium membership (AKA waste your money now) for a larger AV. Once you buy it and you use a larger AV you can keep it without having to renew the membership.

Classic GROG…looking for ways to cheat the system, lol. I’ve never had one of these aforementioned shakes, may have to try one soon…even though the idea of going to McDonalds doesn’t sound that great.

What team are you guys using in Marvel? Ive been playing Amaterasu/Akuma/Doom but I’m not really feeling the team dynamic.

You just said the secret words.

It’s all about Random/Random/Sentinel.

There is a small box on the character select screen that has three question marks in it. I pick it 95% of the time. And all those times it gives me zero. Thanks random.

Ill be visiting Iowa for a week if anybody wants to get games in. Ill be at Billy’s house.

I’m using Dante/Skrull/? Not sure on the last one but I’m thinking sentinel because I’m a scrub. Only problem is I don’t have a good sentinel, I must be the only person who sucks at using him. I might put Doom, Taskmaster, Viper in there though. Zero has also been pretty good for me lately but I’m just not sure. Dante comes so easily and Skrull is a lot of fun to play and totally rewarding once you get to know him better but since I just got a TE stick I have to start from scratch learning how to even do a dragon punch.

I’m currently using Wesker/Skrull/Sent. I’ve been putting most of my practice time in with Wesker, but I’ve learned a couple of anti zoning tricks with Skrull. As for Sent, well…he’s Sent.

Yo, kid, hit us up sometime. We’d love to get some games in. More people playing, the better.
