I’ll be at EZ around 6:30, as always bring extra equipment if you have it. We definitely need more consoles with AE on it.
I would bring my box but it WILL over heat, my xbox can only be played in an isolated room, with air conditioning everywhere pointing right at it…on a good day.
I’ll bring my hard drive and my copy of super
thats all you had to say. give me details via pm please.
She’s better now, yes, and I plan on maining her but she’s still not the fearless guessing machine that she was in 3S. Too much mashy mash in 4 for that. It is a vast change from IV though and I love her just enough to play her now that she’s a “good” character.
I must not see how a few buffs mads Makoto S Tier
granted I didn’t play her and I only knew he EX Kusa was ass in the first place but… someone explain please?
not sure if serious.
Mak isn’t S, but quite a few top players have her at #4. She’s a fucking monster now.
Yeah, you can’t jump in on Makoto for free anymore.
GG’s to everyone at Matt’s tonight. Can’t wait for Lucky’s.
I haven’t taken her online yet, but I’ve been messing around with Makoto in the lab. From what I can tell, getting in with her and actually landing a karakusa is tricky, although her combos are pretty easy… trickiest thing execution wise is linking mp into mp. LP DP, HP DP, jump cancel EX Axe kick is also pretty badass looking.
I might switch back and forth between Makoto, Balrog and Zangief… with a dash of Fei and Yun. Fei and Yun are obviously godlike, but there is something that just isn’t clicking. Maybe I could play somebody who knows what they’re doing this weekend and see if I can’t get a better idea how to play them properly.
I should probably brush up on my Gief so I can use him to conterpick Yun.
I dunno, I just associate top with S… Apologies.
Besides I still dfon’t understand how she’s #4, what got extra buffed besides her anti air move?
Makoto has been top 10 in every tier list I’ve seen for AE. Her buffs seem pretty minor, but they’re significant.
I think the biggest thing you have to get over when playing Makoto in SF4 compared to Third Strike is that Karakusa isn’t the cornerstone of her offense anymore. At least, when I played her in Super (for a very very short time), my main strat was to bully people with normals until they just stopped doing anything and THEN going for Karakusa occasionally. As Tom mentioned, 4 is really mashy, so you have to beat your opponent into submission before you can get grab happy.
Hey i am now residing in fayetteville and would be looking for some games trying to get in with the locals. My number is 5124362657 hit me up, my viper is considered one of the best in the US even though i think otherwise so if anyone wants sessions hit me up.
[LEFT]Who is going to play Skull girls?[/LEFT]
I’m dropping everything for Skullgirls.
Great session tonight. Had a ton of fun playing tonight.
Well, I’d like to play games during my stay out here and it sounds like Charlotte isn’t doing any gatherings. I’d be down to host in my apartment while I’m down here if there is interest. It’s not large so I probably only have room for a couple setups. I’m most interested in playing 2k2um (I know there are KOF players down here), MVC3 (shitty tourney game, good for long sets), and MK9.
I’m living in southern Charlotte (near 77 and 485). Send me a PM if you are interested. I’ll host if there are a few people who want to come down either Saturday or Sunday.
Might head to Lucky’s next weekend.
Yo Best EZ night ever!! Just got home at A few mins ago!! Loooong night of gaming. And talkin about crazy shit to the wee hours,lol
AE is Dope, A lot of changes but I like them so far. My 3 day Ibuki was doing her thang, and Gief is back with that new jab grab range. Over all seems like a improvement over super in a lot of ways. GG to everybody who played.(^o^)/
Anybody want to play at all today? I can play up until 5 i am in fayetteville i dont have my stick or anything as that is being mailed here
