nostalgia is cancer

I’ll see with khmer about bringing an extra crt. Tiny but it gets the job done.
Can’t bring any setups myself unless someone happens to want to play some ps2 games.

I clicked Like, then Unlike, then Like again so I could Like it twice.

Yea bring it on if you can, I am going to the office today to request some tables I think two or three should do it, if we have too many it’s not that big of a deal.

Anyone else who wants to bring TV’s/systems/save files/games feel free but let me know so we can keep track of it. This is going to be our testing gathering as well so we can see what the general interest is. With Azn’s system and games we should be good on at least MvC3 since I hear that scene is kinda low at the moment.

Also if you haven’t been to State before there is parking everywhere on campus on the weekends but a lot of it that is out front of Talley is taken up by construction, there are a few left though. There is also a chance of rain in the works so take that into account if you have to park away from the building (there is a parking deck nearby).

[S]Hey, anyone in Fayetteville…[/S]

[S]For the Elite Zone tournament, there is a 3rd Strike / Arcana player who might be coming from Atlanta GA. But he said he needs a place to stay for Friday / Saturday night. Anyone willing to help him out?[/S]

edit : he found a place [S]

Hey - Kris Kross actually had a decent cut or two on one of their later albums. :rofl:

And I have no idea who the mice people are. But despite all that, I get the point you’re making.

As a grad student, kafuin is currently teaching an undergrad lab. I’m sure that has something to do with his post.

I know you couldn’t know all that, and I admit the words are harsh and direct. Still… it’s not that serious… you can lighten it up if you want.*

  • You’ll be old too one day - if you’re lucky

Maybe cancer has more punch to it than I acknowledged but I don’t think I was getting serious on the guy. I mean we’re talking about a post that has biker mice (from mars) in it.

lol - fair enough. :cool:

I love kids today. I have one. Been trying to help make sure she’s not “fucking retarded” for years.

Lol, I will be there, pretty ironic since I have to vaccum that very room in Talley the next night…should be interesting.

Biker Mice from Mars…man you watched that show?? TMNT master race reporting in son!! oh and Bucky Ohare too.(^o^)/ YES Nostalgia thread go!!! I’m old so I can go waaaaay back. lol

I remember the 360s down in wolves’ den strapped down to the cabinets. Are the harddrives removable from those 360s?

If you need more ps3s I can bring mine as I live 10 minutes away from campus. I also have a crt tv as well. Just in case we need one extra.

Azn: Yea you can remove the hard drives from those 360s only the cases are locked down, one actually got stolen once.

Nicholle: I’d say we could use the extra PS3 just in case, the TV too we will have 3 tables we can put up anywhere.

Rose can reflect meaty projectiles huh. That’s…something I guess.

She still got the shaft compared how every other mid-low tier character got some nice buffs.

Blanka finally has a good shoryuken, Gen’s ex oga is usable, Cody and his walk speed and shit, Dudley and his 3f uppercut and better cr.mk, etc. What did Rose get? Oh look my ex soul throw is more invincible, but my cr.fierce is still better.

That’s the nature of the character. I know all the Rose forum players wanted a completely invincible EX spiral, but her design weakness is meant to be poor on reversals. An invincible and unthrowable EX spiral would give her one of the best reversals. That move is not punishable if it makes contact on its last few frames and it breaks armor. She’s in Street Fighter but Rose isn’t a character that needs a true DP just due to the fact that she doesn’t have one. The strength of her design is in her buttons, baiting things and random useful properties.

I’m okay with what she’s getting. Spark meter gain back up, original f+RH, 5 frame Satellite, and probably the biggest thing is +4 on hit for close MK. I don’t think these changes are enough to make her “good”, but she’ll still be mid tier or so, which is I think where they want such a character. The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems, since what I thought all they should have done for AE to begin with was make Satellite less silly. That’s essentially what 2012 will bring, plus a few little other buffs.

I was hoping for a longer focus attack reach and her vanilla sweep back. Also her U1 has a few problems that need to be fixed. She has a hittable area during that Ultra where it will trade with an opponent’s attack. Rose will take trade damage, opponent doesn’t take anything.

It happened to me when I OS’d a Honda when he buttsplashed me ;_;

Things that would have been nice for Rose:

Crib increased projectile damage for soul sparks based on number of absorbed projectiles from A2 +10 damage for each one absorbed up to 7.

Maybe bring back Soul Illusion somehow.

Yep, that’s happened to me all the way back to day one. They didn’t want her to have a good focus purposely, it’s strictly defense or combos and not even so good at either of those. Main thing I didn’t like about Illusion Spark though was that I would correctly read a fireball and it would look like the projectile should pass through me, but I get hit. A few matches with Roski went south like that, not being able to have the move function like that went against my instincts.

Absorbed projectiles do stack damage on top of Rose’s spark, EX spark, super and Satellite, but it’s just not very much. The most appreciable boost is probably the super’s, I believe you boost it from 300 to 420 or something like that…but this is after somebody lets you suck in 7 fireballs with you throwing out nothing yourself before the super. It’s more a novelty than anything, but you could potentially decide the outcome of a match off of that little boost.

Who in the RDU area are interested in coming out or meeting up to play any of the following games:

Tekken 6
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
Arcana Heart 3

I know there are a few sessions here and there, but if there aren’t many going on in the week or if people are just causally playing I can come out or open my place up. I’m a night owl so if people are coming to my place I play late into the night. Just trying to play offline with as many people as often as I can in the area.

How is it? I haven’t played any of the gears, but I’m thinking about jumping on it. That and back to Halo Reach after the patch more than likely.
