fuuuuuuuck. MVC3 waaaaaay too early. Oh well, better than 10 oclock at night.

Yeah, but they’re short pools this year (16 max), so they’ll be over quickly and you can go back to sleep lol. Compare that to previous years, when pools had like 100 people and shit. 8 AM was serious business then.

EDIT: Looks like you’re in Tom Brady’s MK pool. Get that runback.

why do you get SSF4 at 2pm, i got it at 8 am-_-. also on another note is email pool tracking not working for anyone else? i can only track my pool with my name.

also im in pool 18

I’ll be bringing my PS3 and Tekken 6 and AE. I don’t have any MVC3 DLC or even patched MVC3 (although the game is downloaded to console), so I pretty much just wanna keep it for T6/AE/Whatever else I have or someone else has that people don’t care about the patches or dlcs for. No TV though. Anyone is welcome to use my stick if i’m not playing on it. Will probably stay till 10-11, somewhere around there. Really just depends on what everyone else in my life is doing around then.

Page 10 was a dope ass read. matt frank with the 7/11 was good.

So, it turns out that I won 10 free tickets to Blood Vengeance at Brier Creek. Anyone that was already planning to go to Brier Creek, you’re welcome to have one of these tickets. First come, first served.

Also, the tickets are from Fathom, so in case the mgmt at Brier Creek is acting stupid and won’t accept the passes, then this does not mean that I will buy you a ticket to see the movie. You’re more than welcome to have one if you were already planning on seeing it. If they don’t take the pass, I will be seeing the movie anyway.

I hope that makes sense, hope to see you guys there.

Yo. 1st served frission.

2nd!

Ed(Saisyu), Alice-chan, blake, michael(sofa-king) want to be put down for one as well.

wow, that was quick. with that list it looks like there’s 9.

demo actually responded first, on FB :slight_smile:

The passes say the movie is at 730, i’ll probably be there at 7 or a little before. I think the only person I haven’t met (in person) is michael, so if he’s riding out with someone, then i’ll just take their word that it’s him.

Edit: They’re all snatched up now. Hope to see you guys tomorrow!

Awesome gathering at Josiahs, I get caught up in AE too easily. Keep getting uploading troubles so don’t know about getting all of marvel up tonight. Don’t understand why it keeps getting stalled.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight, was fun. OJ announced frissions awsome ticket giveaway and everyone jumped on it at once lol.

Really nice of you to give those tickets away frission, thanks in advance.

Great session, learned a lot. We played a lot more AE then marvel for the first time and it was a nice change of pace. I think everyone got a chance to get some good experience in and learn, I’m going to keep these consistent at every Monday so we can just keep getting better.

Already posted on facebook but you are the man! How did you win those? Also thanks for looking out, I didn’t even see the post until this morning, so I prolly woulda missed out lol :tup:

FathomEvents was having a drawing and I signed up for it. didn’t think it’d be 10 tickets though. got the passes in the mail yesterday. i might try to go to the theater during lunch and exchange them for the real tickets. that way i’ll find out early if they’re going to give me a hard time about the passes or not.

no problem on saving you one. you had talked about going at Gamefrog, so i figured you would…also, even though I haven’t made it to any sessions in a while, I do appreciate that so many people are opening their homes for sessions now. Thank you (everyone).

Well you know my place is always open once you get back into things and get to feeling better. Also, I feel like you were the only person to enter that competition lol

For MVC3 Dorm players in here, found a complete list of his changes… he actually sounds kinda better now, even if he doesn’t have flame carpet like he used to, but I think his zoning sounds extremely better now.

[details=Spoiler]Dormammu

+ Reports that his Zoning Specials have become better in speed and recovery.

+ Dark Dimension has a larger hitbox. No longer passes under bouncing opponents.

+ Increased distance on backdash

+ Can use Purification in the air

+ Can charge Dark Spells while airborne. Can only charge one at a time and is vulnerable until he lands. He stops in the air when performing this special, in the same manner as Dark Hole.
Liberation in the air causes him to teleport to the ground and then perform the release.

+ Can attack out of down-back airdash. Most likely up-back too.

- Reduced hitstun on cr.M

- Dorm puts Flame Carpet slighty further out & hitbox change(?). Can cause OTG to hit once and knock people away mid-screen. Causes corner Flame Carpets to hit once on some characters because of the distance it’s laid out. Flame Carpet also disappears when Dorm is hit.

Air X factor is a nerf to Dormammu because his chipping game is weaker now against characters in the air. He got a significant nerf to his Flame Carpet but the possible buff on his speed and Dark Arts in the air is a significant buff. Dorm is a highly competitive character and he will remain at that spot still… possibly even higher now. Expect more creative Liberation play from Dorm players from now on. [/details]
here’s my thing… purification was impossible to combo off of before because it knocked them up… but if you’re flying around and pull them up to you with purification… OH THE POSSIBILITIES

Also for OJ and Shiki… this is fucking awesome:

[details=Spoiler]Morrigan
*

  • Appears to do more damage on combos

  • Flight cancel combos appear to be more reliable/useful

  • New meter sucking fireball QCF+S that steals about 1/3rd of the opponents meter. Very buff new special for her.

  • Start up times on Missile hyper and Astral Vision buffed up (?)

*[SIZE=12px]Morrigan got much needed buffs all around. Better damage, start up on hypers and easy to use mobility are just what she needed and the meter stealing meter is the icing on the cake. The new fireball is an indirect nerf to Phoenix as it signifies a very potent threat to her. She might have moved up a tier in the roster. Aerial X factor is also a significant buff to Morrigan.[/details]

*Astral vision… fuck your meter. Phoenix just got way easier to deal with. [/SIZE]

Heres to hoping purification gets its OTG back in the final build, I heard right now it doesn’t OTG.

EDIT: Can’t wait to hear your report on ultimate after you test it out this weekend, if you can test out wesker stuff that’d be great as well!

Honestly I doubt I’ll be able to do much since I remembered those machines are on stick.

I’ll do my best to test stuff though. From what I heard of Wesker, he has Zero-ish health and his teleports are slower, everything else is the same though.

Unless the new characters turn out to be insane, Zero is looking to be top of the top right now.

Edit: was thinking, if Purification sped up, does that mean his assists don’t suck now? … hmmmmm

Good luck to everyone at Evo this weekend!

New tournament thread up. This should be recurring and help out with interest and turnout. Things should also pick up once school starts back for all these college kids.




Local support is necessary to keep these going so if you live in and around Wilmington/Jacksonville/SC or just want to come through, please show your interest through RSVPing, posting, and attending whenever possible. Thanks!*

Are the results for each of these weeklies up anywhere?
