Turns out I’ll be in the GTA on wed. If I can convince my friend to come with me to A&C, I may show up. Finally some ST :D:D:D
Didn’t do any MM unfortunately, most of the guys I wanted to play were doing casuals anyway. Would have liked Demon Hyo, Yipes and RayRay matches though. Played Flocker, Marlin Pie, Josh Wong (so godlike), Masta CJ, Matrix and a couple other killers in 3/5 casual sets. Biggest thing they did was anti-air my Magneto with launch or s.jab, real annoying. I know 3-4 pretty important little pieces of tech now, like wesker’s light command grab has more range! Lost both my tournie matches cause I didn’t Dark Wesker well enough because I try not to scum you guys out in casual and I didn’t xfactor in last game =(. I think I finished 5th in my 32 man pool.
Season’s Beatings in May will probably be next US tournie for me.
As for another session aside from Thursday, I’m pretty sure I’m the only one with a Reading Week here (Alvin in Toronto), so another one is not much more likely. Might just invite one of you marvel heads over for a super long set one day if I’m not lazy, or we’ll do something on the weekend.
I’m pretty much 100% in for Season’s Beatings. Still taking the Greyhound, right?
In other news…
Capcom is smart as hell…I sense the post-SFXT tourney scene is about to blow up. In a few years, don’t be surprised if it’s gonna be the norm for EVO to have 50K for 1st in major games.
edit1: Ryan (or w/e else wants to help me): CAN YOU GUYS GIVE ME A GOOD, PRACTICAL (read: something you see top players do) DANTE MIDSCREEN B&B (read: 1 meter start, no assists)? Thx in advance
edit2: Here’s a good interview with top Sim player YHCmochi
this brought a tear to my eye…
Man every time I don’t want to play a game it gets money thrown at it (seriously, less than 2 weeks after I quit LoL they announced that $2M prize pool for season 2).
Anyway for Dante it really depends on your definition of practical. There are also virtually no pro Dantes. Floe was the only player in vanilla to win a major with Dante even though he was easily a top 3 character in that game. PR Rog is probably the one you want to watch (he plays on fgtv.com now too). Yipes is up there but he keeps his Dante super basic and I think he’d be better off with a different character (soooo weird to say this about Yipes), and Richard Nguyen is the opposite with everything he does being either a combo video or a loss. The thing is with a little practice Dante’s combos aren’t hard especially now in Ultimate. Also I’m picking Dante back up anyway so I can show you what I know when you come out - Zero/Dante/Magneto is what I should have been playing from day 1 holy balls this team is so good.
Generally though the standard BnB is LMH Stinger Bold Cancel Volcano Jump Cancel j.H xx Air-Play, j.H, land, HS~HH (Clay Pigeon) ~S (Prop Shredder) sj.Hammer, land, (Volcano~Beehive) * 2, Million Dollars. In the corner you can add Stinger after the first Beehive and Bold cancel to the second Volcano. There’s also a bunch of fancy shit you can do in corner with Acid Rain and Sky Dance ground bounce resets, but like I said it depends on your definition of practical.
You can’t get away with like Wesker combos with Dante anymore though. That basic pre-release combo everyone was doing in vanilla (magic series launch magic series killer bee launch magic series sky dance super) doesn’t even work anymore unless you take out some hits and it doesn’t even build 1 bar and does like 500k damage.
Also if I knew yesterday was a holiday sooner (didn’t even realize until Wednesday) I absolutely would have went to Winter Brawl; oh well. Let me know what the plan for Seasons Beatings is.
Almost forgot: I’m changing my tag to Ryan Raikousen. As soon as SRK does something to allow name changes again this will be a thing.
NM I was being a lazy bitch…I am figuring out the combo right now…thx for the help
lol Chris, Persona fighter coming to the US.
Bet Jason will have a JAP copy and a US copy and play it during breaks that we can just wipe the flow with them
gross
Fuck Dante, I’m gonna run Team Noel Brown©
Using a top player’s team/character is (and pretty much always has been) super beneficial cause you get to see how they play vs other high level comp. More and more I’m hating the strategy forum/“tutorial”/combo vids (no offense Ryan, I know you do a good job). Nothin like learning from experience (vicariously or not). Also, I’m way too lazy to learn Dante. Never was a fan of fancy combos…Wesker ftw lol.
edit: Christ, I edit a lot…

I just can’t see this happening…and I don’t mean making whoever Drew is talking about free at Persona.
With my prospective gamertag change that I mentioned earlier someone in the Zero boards mentioned I would run a risk of having it shortened to something like RyRai… and the last thing I want is to be mistaken for or compared to Ryry. I might have to rethink this.
Fuck. I finally settled on something I like too.

Also Mihai I do play online, I havnt really been home for few days/no time to sit down to play.
PM me the days when you can play and let’s play, cause I can’t get better at this random pos game if I don’t play someone consistently for hours at a time for a span of at least a few weeks.
Oh sorry. Anime manga anime japan anime
eeew manga lol, way to make me care less.
Throw in some video games next time and you might have something lol
Wow, you just summed up 60% of the conversational dialogue from Drew.
Throw in :"LOL, memerunintoground, cyclical foreveralone argument, COUPONS FOR MEAL."
I think I covered off the other 40%.
what you mean memrunintoground?
I barely quote reddit stuff
and again, video games
They allow once every year, but you need to cough up that money. Just make a new account. The only reason for doing the name change thing is for people who have had accounts since the dawn of srk, so they can keep their join date. That`s what most of us had done to our previous accounts before these. Just get rid of it and make a new one. Mihai has like a 100 hahahaha. Also Corry needs to go back to Hobo-Joe, I miss that account. Also bring back Rep-groove.
Also Ben, best call on that Coupons bit, he is all about that hahaha.
Or maybe I want to hold on to that posts/likes/trophy points count. Join date means literally nothing to me.
Make a new account and call it Justin_Bieber_The_Hidden_Gem
And trophy points do? New SRK blows, bring back rep groove!
