North Carolina Players LXII

[Durand]

I stay in Havelock, Nc and wanted to know is there an street fighter scene here or am I going to have to drive and find one?

There’s not even evidence that mashing will be worth it. All of those extra hits could end up messing up the damage scaling/hitstun with follow-up combos/DHCs.

A video was posted on the SRK home page showing the difference between supers that were mashed and unmashed. Mashing is very worth it, the damage and hits make a good amount of difference. Even if it just added 100 more damage it’d be worth it, every bit counts.

Free food and tekken saturdays ;D ggs y’all. Give it some time, and hopefully we can bring up two other A-class players. Keep practicin.

All skill levels accomodated at Doc Massacre’s island

Actually I was extremely dissapointed with this. It’s a novelty thing but I know I’m not gonna feel like it at all most of the time when I’m focused on the match. Also accidentally x factoring and DHCing is going to be annoying. That’s my main complaint with ultimate.

That does suck man. I was thinking of carrying on the EZ legacy in Raleigh once you move on to better things IRL… need to figure out a good venue. If I can get it popping, might even be cool to make it a RESE outpost for more eastern NC or something.

Really good shit today man. I mean this with respect when I say you reminded me of why I hate SF4 lol

If you ever want to come out to play some games I do gatherings in Raleigh outside of Cary on Thursdays / Tuesdays / Saturdays (not all in the same week but those are the days it varies from). You’re more than welcome at my place, it’s good to have new talent in NC.

It has to make sure that people support it though so it doesn’t die like the other ventures the RDU area has had. Of course I guess at the same time the venue has to support US too to really get it going in the first place.

Gvegas Beatdown is just 2 weeks away, some of the best from SC, GA and NC will be there. Last event broke 100 people with some great payouts in our HUGE VENUE!!! The event will be streamed and there will be a discount for preregistering so make sure you do.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I’ll definitely try to make it out to one of your gatherings if I can.

How far are you from Fayetteville or Raleigh? I think those will be the closest to you.

Man I looked it up from Charlotte and it’s like 5 and a half hours 0_o

Looks like your best bet might be… wilmington but at the same time it’s hard to say because the distances look roughly the same. Wilimgton or Greenville looks like they are definitely closest.

Why you always pick Zangief against me online? I hardly ever lose to Giefs, play your Ryu against me the next time we play man.

Well from the look of the responses I recieved from yall, it looks like I will be driving. Lol, question though, which one should I go to cause I really want to work on my Akuma. Greenville or Wilimgton. Thanks

Who all would be up for an all-day MK9 Session with a live stream and food? If enough people are interested I would find a place that’s more in the middle of everyone to help decrease the length of the drive since everyone pretty much has to drive 2+ or so just to hit up the weekly ranbats. If that goes well and we got AE and Mvc3 people coming out as well to try out the game and have fun then I wouldn’t mind trying to do the same for AE and MvC3 as well. It wouldn’t be a weekly thing, just once every 3-4 months or something to help encourage new members to come out and build the community. There would only be a Venu fee of $6 which lets you eat the whole day.

I love this idea and think that if you play MK or were wanting to pick up MK that you should come out. I am going to work with Mark on this so we can get something figured out.

This will count towards RanBat points. It will be 10pts just for showing up and of course the normal payout of points depending on where you place.

We will work out all the details for you guys and let you know where it will be. Maybe we can get some ATL and some VA guys to come to this too.

Does anyone in the Greensboro/ RDU area have an internet connection that has a good upload speed and would be willing to have a cook out every couple of months?

Our game engine is completely done,as are all the character designs and music.We are currently scouting for animators and in between artist for the project.We are planning to release the alpha version at Comic Markert 82 next year,followed shortly by a digital DL.I can’t talk much about it since its still in development,but I’ll keep you guys posted.I can say that it is indeed a 2D fighting game. There are also 3 or 4 other projects that they have me working on, with later release dates.lol I’d really like to here about your beat em up you working on, sounds interesting. Its one of my favorite gaming genres.(^o^)/

The beat em up has been an interesting road. I started with a class project, “Fists of Legendary Heroes” that I kept working on after class. It was a semi random crossover with the group each picking a character and that being the cast. Graphics wound up clashing due to this but when you’re trying to get a grade it was understandable, especially since some of the group didn’t pull their weight. Kept tweaking and making revisions that get uploaded over time:

Fists of Legendary Heroes Requires account to download but that’s free.

Elsewhere on the internet I engage in other discussions and happened to know that a few independent comic book creators who occasionally shared convention booths and did a few crossover poster images. I presented the idea to them to go all the way with a full crossover offering my role in actually doing a game. Been a bit back and forth, (one artist had to teach himself how to do sprite art from scratch, disagreements on gameplay, the sheer fact that I was the only actual gamer in the group) but an issue #0 comic is out and hoping to close out some stuff soon with the game itself. Had to make some concessions (two characters have to be assists as opposed to full characters, less enemy variety than I’d like, etc) but considering just how homebrew it is, how few are involved, the low funds, and the fact that my computer sucks it’s been decent overall.

Overall, I found Grandia II rather easy but it was fun. Plus, it felt like it was easy because I managed to figure out the ins and outs of the system as opposed to randomization or grinding. The two times I specifically remember being a challenge was the Eye of Valmar and the lack of a map. The funny thing is to my understanding, I actually played “wrong” as far as character usage. Still, quite a different experience from Skies of Arcadia (my main RPG point of reference since I don’t own any form of Playstation).

Did someone mention Dolphin Blue? Ride dolphins and shoot people ALL DAY. Pity it never got a home port.

Stuff about a cookout

I have a good upload speed, and my room is right next to the cookout patio for the school.

Edit my upload varies between 4 and 11 Mbps… college campus.
