NC Love/Hate Thread LIII: Whoopi Goldberg and Counterpicking

So, I know I already said I’m out for the hotel session, but in for Final Round.

…Unfortunately, Final Round this year balls’d things up by falling on the same weekend as the Men’s ACC Tournament. And There’s about a 90% chance of me having to help out throughout the weekend.

All right, few things:

Shiki, good post earlier about FR, I hope everyone read that.

I have the room now, checking in Thursday, checking out Sunday. $305. The split will probably be around $50.

Sam: =/

The all-assist video on the front page confirmed a lot of training mode options. Like practicing based on lag (1-5 bars), being able to switch assists without returning to character select, and mango sentinel.

Whoa, simulated lag? That’s crazy.

Amaterasu’s projectile assist looks amazing. And powered up arthur torch flame assist too.

I plan on going to Final Round. Make a list.

Is there a record feature? Did? I miss it?

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Can someone comb the thread and keep a list of going and maybes?

NO Brent!

Woo! Best Buy has MvC3 available to play from now until March 5th.

Which ones though? The online list is vague. Greenville isn’t one of them sadly.

The list wasn’t vague to me at all.

marvel_vs_capcom - BestBuy[promotion,+synonymns]&pu=defaultusr&pt=1295157601

I’m fortunate enough to live near one. Heading out now.

Also, as someone who hasn’t grown up with Street Fighter, can someone please explain to me why there’s this retardedly bad input-devouring, frame-by-frame lag whenever a special or knockdown happens in Street Fighter II? Why was it kept in HDR? I think it’s stupid.

Cool there’s one in Cary.

Cool no way I’m talking my mom into driving me to Cary to play a demo of a game.

What secondary link are you guys using? It just lists Best Buy stores near you regardless of whether or not they have the demo. It’s defaulting to a simple store locater instead of a demo finder.

Shrug If you didn’t grow up with it, you don’t understand the aesthetic effect it had back in the day. At the time it made special moves look dramatic and like they had IMPACT, in the days before you could mash out a 20-hit combo with specials.

Also in some games, like Samurai Shodown, the dramatic hitstun intentionally allowed you to do combos that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

yeah the store locator showed winsten-salem on the list and i went yesterday and they didn’t have it. calling your local best buy is probably your best chance of checking.

Checked the bestbuy in Knightdale, where this Knight Dale resides, no mvc3 kiosk. Shafonda Laniquisha Randomblack didn’t know what mahvel was… not surprising though. Probably would have shown me a copy of marvel mutant alliance or some shit.

yes, i was at BB in Brier Creek (Raleigh) yesterday and they did not have it. some people have had luck calling around. if someone in the raleigh area finds one, please post :slight_smile:

This post is too long to sig but a :tup: will have to do sir.

Brent: post who’s in your room in your sig, it’ll keep everyone up to date every time you post as long as you’re on here regularly.

I’m 50/50 on Final Round. However if I do go, a highly suggest / request to have 2 sessions of GGAC before (Matt, I’ll probly be swinging through Greenville if your willing to host).

P.S. THERE IS NO WILMINGTON GATHERING THIS WEEK!!! DON’T FUCKIN TEXT ME OR SHOW UP. I WILL BE A DICK IF YOU DO. K thx.

Anyone wanna play some ssf4 online? 360

I plan to go to Final Round.

what’s good?
