As always i’ll come out if people are going to be playing stuff that isn’t MVC3. Are we excited for AE as a state or are peoples opinions more like nah just mvc3 is what i’ll stick with. Although I kinda wished we had a few more characters than just 4, 15 dollars for the update isn’t too bad.
Personally I don’t plan to even try AE. I’m addicted to mvc3 speed
As soon as I get my PS3 I will be going hard on Arcana, maining petra.
I been getting back into SSF4 as of this past week. So I’ma little excited for AE. Chances are I’ll be playing that more than mvc3 for a while. I have this online warrior addiction where I want to be at the top of the leaderboards. Been top 3 Blanka in the world for both vanilla and super ranking wise.
Eff you and your blanka!
I’m gonna play AE. I’d be playing super but with Marvel out now and AE on the horizon, super feels kind of pointless.
I’m also gonna play Mortal Kombat if that has a scene around here. The more I play it, the more I like it lol.
RE: Cortland’s Ky questions, The 2D>Forcebreak>launch combo is the “easy” combo. The real shit is 2D>HS Stunedge FRC>launch>etc., which does significantly more damage at the cost of being hard without significant practice. Other than that, using the FRC on Lightning Javelin (followup to Vapor Thrust) makes it much harder for most characters to punish you, making it a safe guess DP. Stunedge FRC is SO FUCKING USEFUL though; you can do it during strings in the corner to follow after you get pushed out to restart pressure with guard bar built, you can do it after airdashing to bait and CH 6Ps, and since it resets your airdash you can airdash again to combo j.S>H into pain, you can FRC ground stunedges to punish IAD attempts that would normally punish your stunedges, all sorts of shit is possible. CSE FRC is good as always for oki, and the air FB is great for keeping someone cornered or giving yourself space, along with the ever popular blocked jump S>air FB, land, throw>launch setup.
Steve H is the best Ky in the universe (the country, really, but if you’re around him say universe cuz he gets hype as fuck and starts jumping on tables and rips his shirt off and shit), so watching whatever vids you can find of his will give you quite a bit to work with. He does ALL of the things I listed off in that first paragraph, and is one of my favorite players to watch and one of my least favorite to fight.
This makes sense to me. It’s the same engine but with all the rebalances playing super at this point feels like it’d be more of a hobby than something worth it to “prepare for AE”. MK looks so fun, i’m gonna try it out at the next gathering. At first i’ve always been turned off by the block button but realized one of the most popular fighting games on the Nintendo DS has a block button and it’s really not all that bad.
Is anyone playing the new MK?
haven’t seen much talk about it here.
Oh and for people coming out to fayetteville. I actually play both Super and Guilty gear still. If anyone wants to play those games while I’m there just let me know. Otherwise marvel is cool too. I haven’t got to play anyone other than east NC since I started playing a new team (from storm/morrigan/tron -> storm/dante/akuma).
That would be awesome, i’m more likely to be able to get out during the week, than on weekends…too busy!
Last time I went there was a super setup running the whole time, we also played some guilty gear before putting third strike and alpha on the poverty setup. I know two of us GG heads are showing up this friday anyway.
3S, GG, and Alpha are not even remotely close to ‘poverty’ games
I’m not quite sure if I’m going to have people over Friday or not this week, had a session last night with 5 people and I’m not quite sure if they’ll be able to make it back for Friday night, but I’m hopeful. Also, for future sessions is anyone opposed to running some mini tournaments in MvC3 and possibly SSF4/MK9/AH3. Nothing more than 5 dollars just something to get people back into a tourney feel since it looks like the NC tourneys have dried out quite a bit until we’ve gotten this last shot of energy.
Sentinel is a Shitty anchor. Put him on 1st. Then modok. Then
Also who (or how do you) test TV lag?
Real talk, Shiki is possibly the foremost authority on poverty games. Not even kidding.
We should play some Avatar Fighter on XBL yo.
What is a “poverty game”?
We know, we know.
I actually think he was initially referring to the setup in Fayetteville that was off to the side. It was a small tv that was all by itself and people were playing “other” games. “Other” referring to anything other than the more popular MvC3 and SSF4. Correct me if I’m wrong.
But yeah Poverty games are pretty much like, the games no one plays that you would expect poverty guys to be playing. I don’t know why anime games are considered poverty games considering you have to usually import them but stuff like KOF and shit that you’d see a bunch of mexicans playing at a bowling alley… I picture that being poverty games.
But pretty much anything not on the main stream.
