Joplin, MO

So today I turned 19 and we were gonna just go eat out sometime this week but my dads real busy so we just kinda had a birthday thing at my house today, so I couldn’t make it out, bummer.

But yeah I’m hyped for blazblue I know none of you guys have ever even played guilty gear so when I get it you guys will have to try it out. I know you guys like anime too and blazblue actually has a story line and the characters are super animeish so you guys will like that aspect of it at least.

This is just too show you guys what people play in japan.
This is only arcade ratings.

My stick should come in tomorrow too.

About the Kansas City tourney, I’m 100% sure I have something planned that day and I can’t think of what it is but yeah : \

I dunno, I played guilty gear a bit, just couldn’t get into it

I think it’s tooooo animeish for me

Is blazblue one of those pedobear approved games with 12 year old girls in school girl outfits battling demons?

^If so, I’m down.

In guilty gear there was actually a young boy dressed up as a girl and he used his yoyo as his weapon!

But yeah besides that disturbing part your probably right its pedobear approved.

I’m not so sure about such things. But I used to be ok at tekken I’d probably play that.

Anyways I say we all get together again soon, and EVERYONE together if possible would be the nuts, I’ve been in a major slump AGAIN since we played the other night it’s just not going that great. Oh and I’ve had major lag over the past 3 days…I dunno.

i’m thinking about going up to springfield this week and playing some of those guys
anyone interested, let me know

Bridgette is a boy? WTF i wonder if that cos player at our tourny was male as well…

DeviltheEmperor- u lucked out, i had to create this name cuz BIG REX? wouldnt let me log into it anymore >_<, add me REXTR0(its a zero)

Blazblue isnt a loli type game, but it is hella animeish. Its basicaly guilty gear to the untrained eye.

Just got the million dollar stick, thing is elite. It’s huge, much larger than I thought it would be.

Weeks - let me know a day in advance and I’ll do it. We should go take Dart out to eat or something.

Cams - I might come over tonight, or tomorrow night when Weeks is at class.

How about we try again Friday and Sunday to get the Jomos together? Me/Weeks/Seth/Cams on Fri night, Me/Cams/Seth/Ben2 on Sunday afternoon?

Sounds good, I actually haven’t looked at my weekend schedule yet but I’ll get back on that when I find that out.

BUT, I got my SE today, put my sanwa parts in it, which only took like 45 mins.
I suck so much, and the smaller throw actually doesn’t help me at this point.
The only thing the throw really affects is my super jump > flame kick, when I do it my flame kick comes out SO slow, I don’t get the low trajectory I usually get.
My super jump to flame kick goes like this on pad.

1963214 + round house.
I can do all that lightning speed on pad.
OR, 19214 + k, I probably use this more.
and this is how I do it on square gate but it just seems really hard.
I have no clue how they would do a standing 720 on a square gate.
If you don’t under stand the numbers just look at the numpad, its the directions I press.

Anyways, thats from like 45 mins of training mode.
But at this point an octagon gate just sounds SO great.

Course, theres tons of players out there who prefer square gate and I could just try to get used too it, and I’m sure I would but seriously how much is an octagon gate gonna cost, probably like 4 bucks 5 bucks?
It’s a simple cheap quick fix and when I played guilty gear on the gamecube pad, it seriously was the best pad I’ve ever played on and its octagonal.

Edit: Ugh, I don’t even wanna talk about my problems on the left side of the screen.
I can hardly do a super or ultra.

hey i didn’t understand a single thing you just posted
but i’m glad someone in joplin knows a little bit about sticks

It’s pretty depressing I suck SOOO much with a stick.
Like… its hard to pull off something like crouching medium kick to thunderknuckle.
which is just a qcb move, at least mid game.
/sigh at this

Edit: I feel like I have to use my whole freaking arm on some things and I know thats not right.

I sucked hard with a stick at first as well. I don’t really see how the gate effects you. If you keep on practicing you’ll get it down. In the meanwhile, I think it’s important you play so i can win every time while you can’t do your moves yet.

While speaking of the sticks, the TE is very nice. Even though the HRAP EX claims to have a sanwa stick, the TE stick feels much more smooth. The sanwa buttons are also very night and only require a tap instead of a pound like the hori buttons.

K tomorrow is early out for me I’ll get in like 30 games with you so you can see how much I suck.

I just got done playing with Shindrah and he played just as well as he normally does. The only thing I noticed is he sometimes missed doing his ground stomp. I do have C. Viper more than anyone else on the game. Her ground stomp magically has priority over any move when you are up close, it’s evil like throws but worse. I also hate how the flying fire kick can magically cross up and can’t be punished on block.

I actually played 5 games with the controller against you.
As far as I remember without the controller I never landed ex siesmo too air flame kick once. I relied on other stuff instead.

But besides that I am getting much more comfortable.

and her ex “ground stomp” has lots of invincibility, you kept hitting me with ex tiger uppercut when I tried it though lol.

On the left side I’ve started to use the down forward down forward shortcut for the shoryuken movements too.

It’s just so hard for me too get from up forward all the way down to do a flame kick fast.
I’m actually pretty dang sure a circle or octagon would fix this problem as I could just glide it along the edge of the gate and walla, I get a qcb, thats what i do on controller.

Sucks that the only thing I’m having real problems with is high jump and viper is the ONLY character with it, and the only one I really like, I might try out chun-li though.

You know what though, thank god cause blazblue doesn’t even have high jump so I won’t have to worry about it.

You should only be allowed to use Rose. And you hit me with the flying flame kick a million times. Usually 2-3 times in a row. I also hope you enjoyed some of my mind games with the throws.

I think I want to put in a sanwa stick and buttons for my EX2…but I is tarded when it comes to such things. I’m set on it, I really like the size of the box, I don’t want a kong box like the TE
