NapTown Clutch - Indpls, IN - 2/19/11- SSF4, 3S, HDR, ST, MvC2 low tier, & MvC3!

I can’t seem to locate the GGXXAC brackets but as I recall top 3 were

  1. Effenhoog
  2. Thelo
  3. Greg

Thanks to all who entered GG even though not everyone had played the game that much.

Tron/Doom all day every day

Tron is good to go. She’s already taking down whole teams. Just a couple of things I noticed. I’m no pro, so take em with a grain of salt:

You had Hulk on AAA, and Chun on Lightning legs. Hulk is there to get people off you, Chun for combos, lockdown.

You didn’t have any horizontal space control. They were free to just harass you with projectiles until you were forced to go after them. Chuns Projectile sucks, so that leaves Hulk Gamma Wave assist. You’d have to change your B&B a lil bit, but it should still work with Hulk.

Chun can be your AAA if you decide you need it.

All they did was run from you. Do you really want to knock them up and away from Tron?

At any rate, IMO Hulk would be better on Gamma Wave assist, and Chun on AAA. Same team, but a lil more solid.

Yeah, NTC, what a party right?!

Sorry for all the loud noises and overhype on my part, but since their was a lack of it, I felt the need to step in. Didn’t do much training since I spent the week just enjoying Marvel 3, but now that this is over with, and I’ve spent some time after the tournament in the Lair of Greg and Bank, I feel the need to Run it back and train it up.

Giga: Yeah, me and you…Damn near a Kenshiro vs Souther match, lol. The rivalry will be handled either this week or the next at Tilt.

See you on sum Tuesday nigga. -Akuma Stomps-

Silve: Bro, next time I see you I got your 10 bux, no doubt. Had a lot of fun man, Im getting back into the training game for SSF4. Shouldn’t have stopped playing in the first place. Won’t make that mistake again, can’t wait for the next one.

AND BANKS! CONGRATS ON BEIN THE BEST IN NAPTOWN FOR MVC3!!..Sure you came in 4th, but the 4 players above you weren’t even from Nap, or Indiana for that matter…SO GUESS WHAT THAT MAKES YOU BRO!

You and Greg were awesome, and I appreciate the after party hangout and the words of encouragement and effort in helping me step up my game. I definitely have no reason to do online play anymore. You’ll be seeing a lot of me at tilt. Get ready for your new regular. Good shit.

BTW, Giga…We were tied in Marvel 3 for 25th…Not that thats anything good, but had I not been late in getting back from the parking garage, me and you would have fought each other. Shame that didn’t happen, but you know we’re gonna make it happen.

Good advice, I definitely agree about needing an assist that helps Tron get in. Right now I’m experimenting with replacing Chun with Amaterasu. Chun’s probably my weakest point character, and I only ever really use her assist to combo off an OTG. Ammy’s cold star assist should cover the space in front of Tron helping her get in more, plus I don’t have to give up that sweet, sweet hulk AA. Cold star also offers similar OTG setup options as lightning legs, and it should have a lot more utility outside of that. So hopefully this team works out!

I’ve experimented with Chun’s AAA, and honestly it’s pretty ass. It gets stuffed all day, while Hulk’s goes through everything. Her legs assist is obviously GDLK, but it works way better for characters who can dash up and apply pressure when it’s blocked (or to combo if it hits), like Magneto, Storm, x-23 etc. Tron’s just too slow to make that assist work well outside of combos.

Tsutter- I updated it. My teammate carried me most of the matches as well so you aren’t alone.

Yo zap thanks for your stream and recording work. I don’t even remember my matches I wanna see em! You think you’ll have time to get em up soon?

yo, i was pulling for ya… personally i wanted you to beat Marcus and win MvC3… that woulda been sweet

results thread is up now so we should take all the post tourney talk there i suppose: http://shoryuken.com/f6/naptown-clutch-grand-prix-results-shoutouts-266510/#post10300166

mods can archive this now for nostalgia

that is mad shitty. humbag goes to like every indianapolis tournament that i’ve heard of for like 3 or 4 years now and people are cheering AGAINST HIM? wtf

I for one was cheering for both Humbag and Frankie. Humbag because of Taskmaster, Frankie cuz he bodied me, and both because their sets were hype.

I understand his reasons for being upset, but the bottom line, is that Frankie had the passion in his eyes for victory. He even teared up when he won. You could tell he wanted the win more.

Might sound cheesy, but I respect players that really put it all on the line like that to be the best at something. THAT and, Humbag used Sentinel…Nuff said.

sentinal is not as godly as you all think

also I am not upset it was just hella annoying having someone yell in your ear that “hes confused”

when I really wasnt

fuck sentinel

I hear that. If I’m gonna cheer someone on it will be with general comments like “keep focused”, “you got this” etc. not subtle jibes to another opponent like “he doesn’t know what to do”. That’s kind of disrespectful. Either way it sounded like a hype GF. We ended up having to leave before it started.

It probably didn’t really help your cause when the minute you lost you were like “THIS SYSTEM CAN’T EVEN KEEP UP WITH THIS GAME” and making excuses and stuff.

The NTC SSFIV Winners Finals / Grand Final set should be up soon (Some vids are still in the middle of processing) as for the MvC3 matches that I’ve captured, I’ve got 16 total matches incoming. We were pressed for time at the end of the night for MvC3 so outside of the footage that I was able to grab on my phone I don’t think that anyone bothered to record / capture grand finals…in fact I dipped out early myself. I don’t even know who one MvC3…

Please be patient…I’ve still have a lot of footage for you guys.

I thought you were a tournament regular, you haven’t had hype yelled in your ear before?

And if I remember correctly, at the end of the match you did say…“As far as I’m concerned, now we’re even”. So now, you and your rival get to run it back! :slight_smile:

Sry guys…but I just watched some of the match vids I just posted at the frame rate is not correct. You can Enjoy these for now, but I will be reposting these vids…the quality is just not up to snuff for me, I’m better than that. But like I said, enjoy these for now but I will be reposting tonight.

Thx for barring w/ me…Subscribe.

Good shit zap, thanks a bunch

Cause it is fucking true. Also I had been saying that the ps3 version is ass the day the game came out. I make no excuse why I lost. Frankie outplayed me, the game sucking ass on ps3 (which frankie has agreed on with me) didnt have anything do to with it.

Also why the fuck are you in this? This has nothing to do with you.

If so then 100 dollar money match.

@Shadow: yes I am a tourny regular and have had even worse yelled in my ear. I love hype just not silly things yelled in my ear especially coming from people I do not know. Try having Steve Harrison litterally one inch from your ear yelling while playing against Justin Wong and try to perform lol.
