Good shit everyone! I really wanted to make it to Tony’s but I couldn’t rationalize driving 30 minutes the wrong way so I just said fuck it and drove home. I had a blast being able to actually play casuals and watch matches.
Thanks to everyone who made it out and to Xrii for holding it down and actually providing chicken and rice.
had alot of fun. as noted in the NC thread I will officially be jumping on the SSF4 train.
also if anyone cares there WAS a Tekken tournament. Round Robin with 6 entrants
results
chicken/rice ftw!!!
Yo, that was me (Louis Frierson). It was all thanks to the tips you gave me. I’ve never played a really good Carl so I didn’t really know what to do when I first started playing. After a few matches and you telling me stuff I started to get a good feel the matchup. Now just to learn how to IB and breaking Throws. I can never see that stuff coming.
Yo, awesome tournament! Typically well-run Lucky’s, GJ to Xrii for organizing. Will definitely attend the next one. Also thanks to Brent for letting me team with him in Super, sorry I didn’t carry my weight better.
Y’all need to get on that GG and BB. I was surprised at how many signed up for BB. Glad to know there’s a community in this state, even if players live almost 3 hours apart.
MMMMMMMMMMMMAGICAL RAGNA! Yo son, I just hit buttons and it turns into a combo. Behold the power of spamming fast moves!
Keep leveling your shit up Austin, and don’t get discouraged in tournament! We’ll set up some weekend to just grind out GG so you can get a better grip on the HOS matchup.
Yo man, we need to get up and play, get all the Charlotte heads on board. You guys can get better with training. Get at me on PSN.
When learning IB, you can try blocking early at first. The window for IBing in BB is huge (8 frames), so start out blocking a little early; that way if you mess up, you’ll still block. Try blocking a little bit later every time until you get the IB timing down.
For throw breaking, the “best” way to break throws in BB is to react. The trick here is that reacting to the throw is more difficult than it seems at first, even though the break window is long (13 frames). What helps is learning what typical throw setups there are; once you recognize the setup, it becomes much easier to look for the throw and react. In the meantime, learn to option-select your throw break attempts with Barrier. This helps a lot more with the “random” throw attempts and “mixups” with mashing/reversal moves. Just don’t get too reliant on option selects, as they have pretty clear direct counters.
See everyone at the next Lucky’s!
Tournament was run really well. Had fun and was good to see HAV and Justin come down for this one.
KEEP PLAYING THIRD STRIKE PEOPLE!!!
