malasdair, you play Honda now? Welcome to the brotherhood of the sumo 
Yeah I do! I found that his options are pretty limited and all really good. I have a hard time picking when I have a lot of options, so jab hands OR headbutt OR oicho OR just keep blocking means I win a lot more, Iāve literally doubled my win percentage online. Plus his pokes trick everybody. Iāve since found out that like half the Maritimes scene used to main himā¦
Yeah, I know a few former players as well. Iāve mained him since Vanilla. Iāve tried to get away from him, but honestly, I suck with everyone else.
Expectations: top 50% in AE and KOF, blown up in BB, SFxT and UMVC3, top 8 in SCV blind, losing $10 to Luke Parry in 3SO, paying for Shrubās pizza. WOO SAINT JOHN
Yo more like Maritimes DEAD. Do I have to follow @kyleforniahfx to keep up with the scene?
KOF XIII AMAZON LIGHTNING DEAL: http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=tsm_1_tw_ad_A2KEM88MA1N7S2
if anyone cares
Amazon.com usually doesnāt ship to Canada anywayā¦
But speaking of KoF, I need to find a third character for that game, and maybe take it seriously.
That sounds like a great idea. You should do that.
I donāt recommend playing KoF, Dan needs to feel good at at least one game, donāt take that away from him!
Youāll just dissapear until a new game comes out. Week 1 warrior right here, folks.
Hey guys, how are things?
I donāt think Iām feeling SFxT anymore. Itās all really quick and unsatisfying (even when Iām winning! This isnāt another Marvel situation), maybe I just havenāt found the right team yet, but I also hate most of the cast (I find most of the SF characters boring (but only in this game?? Like, I still enjoy playing Guile/Gief/Rog in AE) and most of the Tekken characters are Tekken characters, so.) Iām thinking about focusing elsewhere til the DLC comes out, it worked for me with Marvelā¦
I think every character feels the same to me right now, kind of like Mortal Kombat. Like everybodyās best meterless bnb is jab jab medium xx special. Itās probably just where I am.
Maybe I just need to play Rufus / King.
If you arenāt feeling a game, you donāt HAVE to play it. I do. I play every game. Iām really enjoying Steve in SFxT right now. If I hadnāt found him, I doubt I would play it long term, but he makes the game enjoyable to play.
You still play Yatagarasu???
Well I kind of have to play it if I want to keep up with the scene. You jerks already donāt play AE! Hahaha. Maybe Iāll play randoms til the April tourney and see who looks fun. Any tips for Steve? I donāt hate him but all I figured out with him so far is āsuper clonky Dudleyā. Big on the sways though. I should probably at least play through the T chars before I get out of the game.
I super want a KOF day sometime soon though. Whoās free Tuesday? (edit: nobody, obviously. Ralston, duh. I seem to have more trouble getting to the weekly that I can walk to than the one I have to bus across the city forā¦)
With Steve you are never going to want to jump, ever. What makes Steve good is his C.mp and forward+mp. forward+mp moves him forwards quite a way, causes stagger (+20 or +25) on counter,hit, leaves him in a decent frame position. c.mp links to itself, leaves steve at +6 frame advantage on block, and is generally really, really, good. Steve can set up some very silly frame traps, and the only time you really have to stop pressing buttons is if you do not hit confirm into duckingxxfoxhunt. Even if you donāt confirm into it (say, max range c.mp xx ducking because you expect to counter poke) you are only left at -3). Steveās ducking and weaving moves so far donāt seem that useful. Also, you canāt crouch tech with Steve because that will trigger his command normal (stomp).
Where is this petition?!!
Nobody really trying replace MK9 for Yatagarasu for EVO 2012 right??? yāall just kiddingā¦I hope
Yatagarasu is so poverty that I havenāt touched it in a long time as no one knows of it, but if the chance came up I would play it for sure, and I can guarantee that the CB people would sign it.
Parrying a full Jet combo is way more hype than some 25 hit Kung Lao juggle combo anyday. :nunchuck:
I can pretty much assume your not a MK fan huh
