Kansas City Area Gaming version 3.?

That’s exactly my point. It is all relative, however I asked because you made an assumption based on someone talking about a lot of different games here that they knew what they were talking about. I could talk all day about 3S, and even sound like I know what I’m doing at said game, but then you get here play me and you’d find out that I have no idea what’s going on, and all I could do is the basic SF moves.

So if you are really just up to play anybody regardless of their skill, that’s fine, you will enjoy Chachi’s willingness to play anything. But if you say were actually GOOD at say MvC2 I don’t see how you could find it fun to play someone who isn’t at all. This is why I asked about your skill level.

As for my skill at various games.

MvC2 I claim to be just above average. I’d get owned by the likes of say Wong or Soo. But I can hang (even with them) to a point where it’s still fun for me if not for them. If I were below average I wouldn’t consider losing to them to be fun at all. As such, I don’t consider playing a scrub fun because they aren’t close enough in skill level to make it so.

GGXX I claim to be just below average. I can do basic combos and pull of supers and get some wins. I can spam out a Pot Buster or two. For me playing someone on EXPERT level at this would not be fun for me or them.

3S I claim nothing at all. I’ve played the game probably 10 times in my life. I know basic SF shit but that’s it.

CvS2 - Well below average, but not complete scrub.

So now that you have a feeling for what I meant when I asked how good are you? I ask it again. How good are you (I’m looking specifically at say MvC2 or GGXX)? Simply saying you sucked in the tournament doesn’t tell me anything, because that’s almost all expert level play there and the well above average would suck at that (by comparison).

Lightning- mvc I’ll try ya. I’ll get pwnd probably.

In GG, youre on. I’m decent. I have… all of em. Accent core is best, it has all styles for each char. its awesome.

I see exactly what you mean to about the skill, I assumed you were being a dick/ my bad.

Cant wait to come home

hey everyone. new here. fresh post, etc. etc.

anyways! i’ve been playing 3s for around a year, but without much personal competition. i’ve been used to this tekken 5 stick, and i can’t say it’s BAD or anything. i just know there are better choices. ok, so, i’ve been lurking here for a bit, and it’s nice to see people actually doing this around kansas city.

i go to the art institute, and, well, not many people here engage in fighters. i don’t know how welcome i’d be showing up at one of the get togethers or anything, but you know. sounds exciting either way! i dont have a car, so i’d probably have a friend drive me to an event, if it were to happen.

and one of my friends at school lives in omaha, so we might make that trip as well!

and i’ve got some hefty smash experience under my belt, but i’ve been a bit rusty.

just saying hello, for now.

Haha, art institute huh? I’m a studio art major.(and english)…at umkc though :wink: and much more of a smasher than any other game but i’m learning a little bit here and there and the rest of my crew has a fierce liking for Third strike…coming by on one of our Saturday night gaming-fests would be cool if you want to meet some people. :slight_smile:

Man,
I know I’ve been away but it’s all do to my MMA and Boxing training. Plus I’ve been to London for awhile chillin’ with friends there. Now I’m back and I have a wonderful GF. So my time has been going to make sure things with us are going smoothly. Also still working Nights at Sprint trying to dodge those layoffs. So, it’s just been busy time for me ya’ll. Man I don’t know how I get all that Neg rep but it’s nothing f’real. i tend to get hated on. lol! jk.

So whats new with ya’ll?

I haven’t been playing much of anything except maybe CVS2 and SF3. I just started up with this MUGEN stuff. Trying to get my feet into this. It’s pretty cool. Anyone know how to really work and find MUGEN chars?

Copying off LS with this:

As for my skill at various games.

MvC2 I claim to be just at or above average. I’d get owned by the likes of say Wong or Soo. But I can hang (even with them) to a point where it’s still fun for me if not for them. If I were below average I wouldn’t consider losing to them to be fun at all. As such, I don’t consider playing a scrub fun because they aren’t close enough in skill level to make it so. It is only fun to do so when they talked shit before hand and you crush them!!!

GGXX = SCRUB!

3S I know basic SF shit and have parried at times!

CvS2 - average

Kemo- I had a TON of mugen crap. been working with it since i was in 8th grade… and now im 22… so like… you do the math on the years.

Ive tried the character making thing and learned its not really worth it. I’ve always wanted to make a grappler but it never came off right.
Neways- i can hook you up

Wow sup Kemoiwan, longtime!

Browsing this forum I see there are some new people posting.

Sooo… We’re quite the disparate group here. Let me see if I got this right with regard to primary games.

LS (me): MvC2
JtH: MvC2
KCFB: GGXX
SJ & co: Smash Bros
Kemo: CvS2
jspot: sounds like GGXX
focra: 3S
Chachi: allegedly everything, but really GGXX
Axiom: ?
Cable: ? 3S?
Trey <- missing in action: GGXX
Chris <- doesn’t post here: MvC2

I think that’s everybody… Why can’t we all play the same games!!!

Also, since we have so many new people… I want to let you all know that there’s an old rule the Midwest moderator made a while ago that seems to still be in effect and that is that this thread when it reaches 1000 posts (at 929 now) will be closed and we’ll create a new thread. So if you come back one day and the thread is closed go looking for the new one. :smile:

well, i forgot to mention i’m fairly apt when it comes to MvC2. it was my first dreamcast game and i’d play with my brother all of the time. but, this was before i was really into fighting games. since then, i’ve recently got a copy for my ps2 and everything is sinking back into place, sort of.

i’m up for learning anything, though.

At the risk of sounding like as asshole again… (not my intent, but I need realistic gaging of things here).

Is that your only experience with MvC2? Because MvC2 is a special sort of game where you absolutely CAN NOT get good by only playing at home with family. In fact what teams(s) do you use? This will tell me a lot. And do you know what and or how to do any of the following: Fast Fly, Triangle Jump, Square Jump*, DHC*, Infinite, get a manual combo with more than 5 hits, Block Breaker, unblockable, or AHVBx2 (or more). And as a bonus, which characters on the game actually can do these things.

*these are basic and easy but one needs at least know what it is.

Primary games for me are Tekken 5: DR, GGXX, MK2 & UMK3, Super Turbo, and a little 3S. Those are my favorites, but I’m up for anything. Kemo, JSpot, & focra…you should play with Chachi and I sometime. Or, if one of us is busy, just one of us. We are both pretty busy, but PM me your phone numbers if you’re interested in getting together for some fighters.

I’ll rate my self on all the 2d fighters I play… I put them in order of best to worst. I still think we all need to play together before we say “man cachi sucks ass”

SFa
CVS
3s
ST
KOF (in general)
GG (in general)
MVC
Doa
smash Bros
Melty Blood
Last Blade 2
Arcana Heart
Tekken

Also- Im really into wrestling games… I play all of those also (mostly jap)

ans LS- I know how to do most of those things in MVC, but compared to the guys here in the LBC, I still suck a fat one

yeeeaaah, not quite there yet. today will be my research day.

edit: yeah, i’d love to meet up and do whatever. i’ve gotta be going, but i’ll send my contact info through PM when i’m done with class today.

I have met and played Chachi, he’s not new around here. Also I never said “chachi sucks ass.” But I will state as much for MvC2 specifically. GGXX he can hold his own some (at least against me given my below average skill there). Never played him in any other game, because I don’t really like any other game.

That’s cool. It sounds like you are actually around our skill level in the game then. I’m aware of Cali’s playability in the game and they are quite good - on the whole better than I. But having been around the nation playing the best I know that I can hold my own.

It’s all good. We’ll see, perhaps this weekend we can get folks together. I’ll see if I can contact Trey (he’s the primary one necessary for a true game-night to happen.)

Couldnt have said it better- learned this the hard way

I think “Man, Chachi sucks ass” should be the title of the new thread.

hahaha awww at least you have a cute name/pic? haha

i also was trying to learn 3S but god I suck at 2D fighters… but the other peeps in my crew are okay? i wouldn’t know since no one will come over and help us GAUGE that??? lol :stuck_out_tongue:

But really, we’re up for anything… :wink: we’ve kinda gotten to the point in smash where unless we pick up another character our skill levels aren’t getting much better (maybe a little) but not by much… so we are looking at other games :slight_smile:

pick up 3s

yeah, i dont really know who to PM with my contact info. maybe it’s better to PM me and then i’ll give you guys my cell number?

either way, this weekend is pretty good timing. i’m done with most of my projects and i’ve got nothing else to do. i’m up for learning some guilty gear (never played, actually) or anything else, you know.

also, i have to gauge my hugo skills, haha.
