North Carolina Thread LIX

Only Question is, are yall willing to wear the tight pants of the relationship?

If you get off at 5PM you can definitely make those Monday tournaments. Registration is at 5 the actual tournament doesn’t start until 6.

@DP

What time are we leaving. I know Raf doesn’t get off until 5 and Matt doesn’t open his doors until 7:30. I’m assuming around 6 or so?

Isn’t that a Frank Sinatra song? :wink:

Hahaha close to it.

You are correct in your assumptions. PM me this kind of stuff plz :stuck_out_tongue:

@SamX - Sounds good man. I’ll be ready for people dropping by about 7 or 8.

@Duo55 - Same deal man. Looking foward to meeting ya if you can make it out.

PM? I want everyone to know what we’re doing at what time precisely in case they want to stalk us. Naw just kidding, you have a point. Well since I already said all of that I might as well lay down the rest of our personal business. When I was a baby I organized the Cuban missile crisis, what about you?

We had a chicken/rooster when I was young, and I stepped in its crap. It was yellow on the inside and I was scared.

I never do to well with regular controllers, do they usually have arcade sticks there as well?

BYOC

Though people are always nice, so just ask to borrow.

When I was a child, I shot the sherrif, but I didn’t shoot the deputy. Then I was exiled from jamaica and had to bleach my skin.

as much as I think Jibbo is a great player, I would never risk wearing a “Team DP” shirt in certain parts of town…just sayin’

I’m not stopping with promoting, I’m just done with the topic on this forum. It was taken WAY too far. I do apologize for being responsible for it. I hate having a stubborn personality.

What is “BYOC”?

I’ma try and show up today at EZ, I have class every Friday from 1-4:50 in Charlotte and you know its about a 3 hours drive there so…if Im not dumb tired i’ll show up and see whats going on.

Blanka is a character that gets shut down when you know the matchup. That hilariously easy rushdown is just hilarious against someone that knows what they’re doing. It takes a lot of work to win with him at high levels. He’s very shennanigan heavy and his normals are to be laughed at when compared with true rushdown characters. His rolls got nerfed, the hop has increased recovery, and his slide that “stays active forever” is a guaranteed ultra punish with focus attack. Have fun with him if you really plan to pick him up.

Not entirely sure which one but I know it’s either “Bears Yodel Over Coffee” or “Bring Your Own Controller”.

EDIT: @OJ - Yea it looks like his specials outside of electricity really suck and his game is limited, although I do like his potential pressure game. The slide is a good counter but not good for entry it seems. Like I said James obviously knows the matchup and when I played him it was lights out - but Blanka is fun.

I’ve also learned a valuable lesson in fighting games. If there is a char I’m having a hard time against - pick them up and play them. Helps tremendously in matchup knowledge.

Just keep experimenting man, I played Akuma in Vanilla and midway through Super. After that I just started messing with other characters to learn the matchups and I fell in love with using Rose lol.

I don’t think he is gimmick-heavy unless you play him that way. His normals are also insanely good. Very few characters have such a complete set of normals. For example: cr.strong for AA, st.strong is a great poke along with cr.fierce. Slide got a huge buff, st. fierce has a great hitbox and stuffs a lot of characters normals clean.

He is just the most unorthodox character. Between ball, slide, and hop, he can get around almost anything you can throw at him. Add that stuff to a goofy hitbox, unique wakeup animation and timing AND a 4f 500 dmg Ultra…

Alright Jon, I’ll be at your place tomorrow at 9AM.
