is 5 star tomorrow ?
Sorry I couldn’t show up last night. Had a fucking long assed weekend in Boston, and I needed a full night’s sleep for once.
I’m definitely going to be around tomorrow night, and I’ll bring my setup. It will need another 360 stick to be fully operation, but I have the suspicion that it’s going to get usurped by Dreamcast shenanigans.
if anyone happens to have a ps2 stick we could play guilty gear or sengoku basara x or various other ps2 fighters i have(arcana heart, third strike, cvs2) i have 1 ps2 stick but another would be better since playing those games on pad isnt fun.
i’ve got my setup for tonight.
Bring Ps2 Sticks I WANN PLAY SOME 3S !!!
also… while there is still some posts about BB on this page… I just wanted to let everybody know that I nearly cried watching the sheer amount of awesome that is Mike Z in this vid: [media=youtube]KbVioLGD-gU&feature=related"[/media]
I cannot wait for CS. Then, laurence, i’ll be saying “eff that hawk–tager is my main!”
also… i wish i had played 3s a bunch. I do have it on my laptop. So maybe next week’s saltmines has a little detour for cyberbots and 3s…
Cybersentinal bots ftw!!!
so i guess i’ll bring my ps2 just incase someone happens to bring a second ps2 stick, otherwise i’ll have a ps3 set up going
It is for this reason that people get turned off by the game. Tager is not the worst character in the game he probably takes the most skill to be effective in using. A “worst” character in my book qualifies as one that can not make any sort of waves in a tournament environment regardless of the skill of the player. Mike Z (making top 8 in that video mind you) raped the hell out of that guy with ease and nailing his Astral multiple times, clearly has a handle of Tager and brought out his 'true" potential not what’s in some lame tier list. I hope Arc systems brings back Guilty Gear in some capacity because I certainly preferred the bigger and better roster that it provided. I can’t recall seeing a GG match with that much cheese in it and I play marvel lol. Aside from that I will be playing it, but if a community doesn’t develop for it i’ll seat it right next to calamity trigger as a nice door stop…Did I mention that even Melty has a bigger scene…Or maybe we are in the wrong hemisphere and BB is alive and well elsewhere. Great game but too much shenanigans for my competitive tastes, bring on KOF! Commence flaming!
kof XIII is going to be amazing.
New guy here that stayed till 1130. Had a good time getting my ass beat, hoping to work some stuff into my juri game and be better in two weeks!
Welcome Disrand! I am glad you were able to go last night and had a good time. Why wait two weeks? We have a majority of the core players come to my place in Salem, NH every Tuesday night for “Salt Mine Tuesdays” so hit me up for this upcoming Tuesday if you are down. We normally order up some food, plenty of beer (if you drink) and lots o street fighter.
@inthesto: I was wondering where you were on Tuesday man, I need Rose practice with Vega (yes another main change, but this one is sticking so far lol).
Yeah maybe. I’m busy until late on tuesdays though so it wont work out in the immediate but maybe in a few months
Rich–totally agree, man. All the vids I’ve seen just ooze awesome. And Raiden even has a color scheme where he looks like VENOM. yes, from spiderman. And terry looks the most badass he ever has, I think. The EX moves look hot, I’m already digging the cancels and the NeoMax moves (those things are BEASTLY) too.
laurence–you salty already for a game that hasn’t even come out to consoles anywhere? lol. for the record, tager is the second worst character in CS, but the disparity between the characters is no longer as large. Peeps are saying the balance is hugely improved. He seems like he’s actually a viable character now. Mike Z was also my inspiration in playing Tager–who was the first grappler I ever played. I will admit that BB is currently dead, mostly because of the balance issues in CT and the fact that CS leaked online–but I think once console hits at the end of July, peeps are gonna be back in the saddle. GG also had like 12 games to expand the roster by one or two characters at a time. But if you want to face potemkin, who may be the greatest grappler character ever created, sure. Tim and I played some accent core last night. game is hot–but my god do ps2 pads suck. Does melty work on BC ps3s?
ggs last night to those who were there. I’m sure i’ll see some of you at the souper bowl tourney this sunday. and i need a teammate!
Yo Kraig you and lawtown shoudl team up since hes comign and all…im def teaming with CMX this weekend though, Hopefully we can get top 5, thatd be nice…but yeah no one was there last night so its back to the drawing boreds getting people hype to be a NH player lets go boys…PS we all need to raise are game fierce…liek no more rabats all mains all the time ? Give me your insight gentlemen : D
I would but i think he’s got a commitment that day. And, for the record, we had like 5 people in different states and since most of them bring a couple people… yeah, those things happen. I think everybody should be back for the next one and we’ll be back to like 25-30 peeps.
I’m cool for the game upping saltmines. time to give that constructive criticism and critiques!
as far as my hawk goes, i know i still need to work on spacing more, i’m working on getting out spire whenever i need it (finally figured out the trick last night against brian), and I need to get my situational AAs down–right now I’m just blocking by default unless it’s a far jumpin. i have started poking a lot more intelligently and situationally, i’ve almost got my safejump setups down pat, and i’m working on getting some option select stuff into my game. i’m prioritizing the footsies and AA though, since hawk has such rugged normals. keep me honest guys.
melty will not work on a bc ps3 kraig.
not sure if i will be able to make it tuesday, i’m going out with the wife. we’ll see though.
lawrence, we’re ordering melty next friday, so start watching those videos, i’m choosing bitch with the knife.
White Len and Miyako Arima will be reporting for duty…been all over Melty Bread for info and stuff so I will be ready with the cash on Friday. Thanks for the heads up; oh and Shiki Ryougi is the bitch with the knife (good choice she is beast from what I have seen thus far). Kraig not salty about BB:CS just sharing my view and I do hope it gets hype. KOF is where it’s at I can not wait for that game and may have to dedicate significant time to it. I spent so much money in high school importing the 90’s editions of kof for my Sega Saturn its pretty retarded actually. And I really think SF fans should hope KOF returns to prominence it will only better SF in the process.
Anyway in regards to a more productive Mines session I am all for it, but the better players have to learn to be teachers otherwise we won’t improve. I can watch all the match videos, memorize BnB’s, hit links, execute, etc. but if the knowledge of how to apply them isn’t there I might as well play fuckin pokemon. You guys know who you are so step up to the plate and start leading, you are better than the rest for a reason so start sharing and the levels of those around you will start to improve making your matches with us more enjoyable for you as well…but digress.
I am down to use only mains since playing third and fourth string characters isn’t going to come up in a tournament setting. So this Tuesday bring your best two characters to the arena and get ready for harsh critiquing. May I suggest we start first to five setups so we can all get a long hard look at what we are doing in the matchups. We will have atleast two setups like normal so it will go quickly. Any feedback on the above is welcome lets open this shit up and get some opinions.
Kraig and I have been in talks about teaming up, but it won’t happen this go around since I am with the in-laws this Sunday celebrating my wife’s b-day. We will team up at some point though and we will both be stronger contenders by then anyway so it’s only a matter of time!! Props to the good idea though big guy, no more bullshit.
Damn im long winded tonight, but about Dragons it’s pretty simple to figure out how attendance will go. The people who show up on a regular basis are the one’s dedicated to helping the scene and getting better as a player. Of course things are always going to come up and life takes over so I am not sure we have to go back to the drawing board. A lot of our players are not pre-teens with endless amounts of time to pick apart frame data like a term paper. We have lives man lol, and because of that I wasn’t expecting every night to be like the one two weeks ago. We just need to concentrate on making sure we cater to those who want to get better and grow our core group. Those are the people who will be at the Mine’s on a weekly basis grinding away with us and climbing that hill so don’t even sweat it B man.
