NC Thread LXVII (67) - RIP MaximumBurst

I don’t know why it would be hard to get a good opening with Terry. It’s not like you need Takuma’s command grab and Leona’s instant overhead to open people up. Good jump arc on his hop and good cross up, great easy chainable and confirmable normal chains off his cr.LK, st.LK is an awesome pressure tool from mid-close range. I mean he’s not gonna kick the door in but he has the same if not better tools than a lot of characters that are considered good.

Man RESE sucked today. We had enough people for a small KoF bracket but it didn’t get ran because we didn’t have enough time… even though there were unused setups and a good 3 hours of KoF casuals played, more than enough for 6 people to finish a tournament. SGs didn’t have enough entrants either. Very crap performance from me in Marvel. It’s sad when my best placing is in soul calibur -_-

Hey man, they arent my tournaments…I am the co-founder of WNB and Im also part of the team that runs those tournaments…but I guess me and Xaiah do most of the work as well as post on both the group and SRK…but to answer your question no, we are not running Skullgirls at WNB for the time being…not only the game has a glitch that makes the load times super long (not really an issue its just annoying) but people werent interested in it anymore…we had 3 entrants last time we ran it…since then we only had money matches and casuals but nothing more. We might run again with certain rules or if a patch comes out that fixes issues and nerfs that Cerebella invincible assist that everyone hates LOL

Melty Blood? :slight_smile:

Hey people I’m gonna be in NC for the week of June 10-16. Any events going on through that time?

That’s sad news for the turnout I would’ve gone to it last week if I didn’t have finals to study for. I came too late for the first one y’all had, but I still did some casuals and one money match.
I haven’t heard people much complain about Cerecopter if that’s what you’re talking about. It’s less invincible than Napalm Pillar on startup and covers less vertical distance, so I don’t think it’s much of a problem or any assist in the game to me. I was hoping I could get a chance to see how well I would do in a tourney and Skullgirls and Tekken 6 are really the only games I have to try and compete in and I want to be able to at least compete in one of those games.

Edit: What’s this about a glitch that increases load times? I haven’t encountered it.

Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you guys, been a little busy.

As far as Arcana and Melty goes I did not have them yesterday. The guy that was asking me about it is trying to get a bunch of people from different states to merge at ReSe. I would love to do this and told him that it’s a go. He is going to let me know what the plan is. He is coming to June’s tourney and will be bringing a setup so I will run it if you guys want to play it. I will run whatever you guys want to run but you have to bring the setup for it :wink: Just pm me if you have any ideas or want something particular and I will see what I can do for you.

So to reiterate, AH will be at June 23rd’s ReSe. Melty is also welcome if you bring a setup and and PM that you are so I can make room for you. Now on to the good stuff, results…

Results for May 12th ReSe…

Does anyone know what that thing F.Champ uses to hear in game audio is that he hooks up with his headphones?

Also, anyone know a good pair of headphones that cancel noise and are under 200?

He was thinking of Double’s Butt assist where she turns into Cerebella. That’s the one that gets all the bitching.

I’ll be here for AH3, Melty Blood, UMVC3, SSF4 (maybe), and definitely some KoF13 it’s gonna be EZ all over again lol.

Noise-cancelling headphones are designed to block out low frequency e.g. noise from the engine of an airplane or a jackhammer. It’s not gonna do shit for you at a fighting game tournament unless someone has the bass maxed out on their surround sound. Don’t buy into all these sponsored players wearing those ridiculously overpriced headphones at events. They have to wear them because they have to advertise for their sponsors. Do not buy into Triton, Turtle Beaches, Beats, etc. People recommend them because that’s the only thing they see other people wear and they don’t know any better.

tl;dr, you can be a drone and wear what everyone else is wearing or be a hipster and do some research before you start buying shit. I suggest investing into a good pair of IEMs. They work just as well as noise-cancelling headphones.

Yeah thats the one people complain about XD Is that the one in that “Back that ass up” video…?

At 3:12 you can see when you press start and it takes forever to load the menu…it actually takes that long to load anything…we are talking about 4 maybe 5 times longer loading times…no one really knows what the deal is with that.

But another note here is another KOF match from a past WNB!

Ok that’s good to know about the noise canceling stuff. I guess nothing is going to block out the roar of the crowd short of just turning my music the hell up. I knew a lot of the headphones they advertise and that you see players wearing are just marketing, which is why I’m asking around.

I’ve seen f.champp using this amp type thing that he plugged into the system that let him hear the game sound through his headphones, but there was still sound coming through on the TV. I’m thinking it was this but I haven’t gotten any confirmation on it yet:

Normally I wouldn’t care about sound but hearing something like hidden missiles in a tournament environment is pretty much impossible and can cost you a game.

please tell me WNB take debit… i really want to go this week for the 1st time and all i have is 25 dollars on my card

Wednesday Nights Brawls at Champs. Alot of different games MVC3, KOF13, Skullgirls, SF4AE. Starting on June 6, I will bring a VF5:Final Showdown setup. FT5 and FT10 matches will be open to any challengers.
