Iowa: Maize of Defeat

I thought the 3d KoF was kind of cool back in the day. It’ll be interesting to see what everyone brings to the table.

Battlezone streams stuff for their Magic tourneys and board game nights. Definitely talk to them about that.

I was not aware of that. I will definitely do that.

This create a character feature in SC5 is pretty awesome. Played a guy online this morning that was completely naked, and had a 2 foot long furry dong with clean shaved balls. I laughed the whole time i beat his ass.

If you take that first sentence out, the rest of it is pretty damn weird man.

I just realized that I forgot to post Tuesday’s results. Let me fix that.

1/31/12 UMVC3 results
1st - Olli
2nd - M.C.
3rd - Alex
4th - Adam
5th - Jackie, Corey

No new teams, but still some good competition. Props to people for answering my call and trying harder to lame out my team. And I truly mean that. Was barely able to reset Olli in GF and got beat 3-1 in the second set. Between that and a good set of casuals the other night, I’m liking how much Olli and Alex are learning how to keep Cap and Thor out and making me earn that hit on Zero or Viper. Keep that up.

KOFXIII results
1st - M.C. (Leona/Mai/King)
2nd - Olli (Duo Lon/Kensou/Robert)
3rd - Jackie (Duo Lon/Shen/Kim)
4th - Corey (King/Ralf/Raiden)

Really hope people keep with this because I have such a fun time with this game. Jackie, that Duo Lon of yours is showing some cool tech. Olli, you better put some time into me lending you my copy of the game. :stuck_out_tongue:

I know these matches go on forever, but I’m having entirely too much fun with this. Hope people stick with this after this 4 week series is done.

Next week, speaking of which, is the last of this series. KOF will get rotated out for Soul Calibur 5 after next week.

I’M GOING TO DISNEYLAND! :smiley:

Short notice, but to avoid conflict with Scott’s- this is the date. Yes, it’s the same thread. SWF style.

Is Joker trying to make an almost 2k page thread in SRK too?

Guhhhh, busting my ass trying to get better at UMVC3 and SC5. I now understand the importance of a stick. Diagonal movement is the bane of my existence. I was thinking about building my own. Any suggestions, comments?

Anyone know if Hitbox registers diagonals the same as a proper stick? Just wonder how the DP motion will work.

Building your own stick isn’t too bad as long as you already know how to do basic soldering and woodworking. If you do end up going that route, let me know and I can give you some tips to help you end up with something you are happy with.

GGs yo, it was fun. We doing it again next week?

?

Imo timewise and unless you have all the workshop equipment it’s cheaper/faster to get a stick that’s already on the market.

If you want, I can always chat with Tyson (Kingfan) to see if he can build you one since he lives in town and all.

And Hitbox is busted in all ways possible… but really hard to play on so I suppose it’s fair, lol.

Thats the plan. Gonna try and upload the vids ASAP.

I like the idea of building my own. I’ve seen all sorts of helpful sites. Wont need to solder with the Cthulhu. I’ll probably make a custom hitbox style controller because I used to game on nothing but a keyboard. Suits me.

Yeah was fun, thanks for hosting Murph. GGs to everyone as always.

No objections for next week, as everyone mentioned. We are going to rack up a lot of recordings like this though haha.

Where did you live Murph? You guys starting up some kinda weekly thing?

Vids are all up on my youtube page.

Name, we are doing weeklies in Des Moines minus the weeks when an event we are traveling for takes place. I’d invite more people to come but since I’m hosting in my apt I really don’t have any room for more people.

Also, since we stayed so much later playing casuals anyways, I may opt to put everything on one setup so that every match can be recorded, we weren’t that far off anyways, and the matches are running quite a bit faster than I initially anticipated.
