North Carolina Thread LVII

I spend countless hours practicing my Phoenix combos. I can do a write up of my high level execution if anyone is interested.

It’s only derp if you take it serious. =D

OJ: I’ve seen that shit man, musta taken a while to get that down. Not sure how you vibrate your finger so fast to hit 2A that many times in one combo, shit is like… magic.

Now this is the NC thread I’m used to

If it takes you a week to get a link thats obsured but i guess counting abc’s with a slight spasm is much more fun

and people still refuse to play Tekken lol

I play tekken as well, leo

PLEASE COME PLAY!!! I play Leo as well. Well shes my new project, im primarily a Lee/Dragunov player.

Where are you located again? Will you be at Lucky’s this weekend?

We are having a Tekken session TOMORROW in RDU if youre interested.

I’ll accept this post. But if anybody equates these past several posts to the “good old days” of our 2 week NC Spaz Threads, I’ll slap you.

On another note, I’m saying this right now. Viewtiful Joe’s voomerangs (combined with ironman assist) are the absolute most retarded most abusable projectiles in MVC3 next to Phoenix Homing Shots.

I am in fayetteville and i will be at luckys and whats rdu? Also i looked at the front page i know emo prinny from soul calibur days lol

I’m fine with Phoenix. So what mashing jab into super is a viable strategy. Its just part of the game and besides its not like everyone can’t select her.

  1. SF4 sucks because it’s option select city and you have to practice some of the most overly complicated inputs just to run basic offense or defense sometimes. There’s no blockstun either, which makes offense boring unless you play a walking-randomizer type character like the twins or Cammy.
  2. Marvel sucks because all the strategy is done prior to the match actually starting and once you’re playing it’s just running your team’s cheap tricks and almost praying to get the first hit in. The best characters in the game are downright mindless and X Factor is retarded.
  3. Tekken sucks because you have to practice for months just to perform the basic action of movement in a useful manner. Trying to play the game in an intuitive manner gets you raped and nobody seems to be able to explain how the game is supposed to be played, you just have to figure it out.
  4. Blazblue sucks because the game is at its core designed to benefit newbies who don’t even know what the word “block” means. It’s basically a 2D version of Soul Calibur and playing the game properly will put you to sleep because the core system allows strong players to use reactionary defense to beat almost everything.
  5. Guilty Gear sucks because…wait, Guilty Gear doesn’t suck. GG WE DA BEST!

All fighting games have stupid stuff in them. Just pick the game that has the stupid stuff you like and be done with it.

Argued with god. Won.

Blasphemy aside, I think that’s my favorite Jon post ever.

ps just got back from changing my sig on dustloop

Damn Blake, you said everything I was going to say, but much better and you even put it in a nice, coherent, and orderly list unlike the vitriol-fueled rant I would have wasted way too much time typing.
Bravo, good sir.

Yeah, welcome back. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I remember playing you last Summer at Darklight’s frat house.
I’m always down for both KOF and Marvel, so hit me up anytime.

I’m also going to Lucky’s this weekend, so Charlotte peeps need to hit us up to figure out carpools.

I must be doing something right if I’m getting props from Shiki.

Oh yeah, Jon, going back to your observations on Yun and Yang, that’s probably the reason why Yun has been over Yang in every single tier list I’ve seen for AE. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone try to claim that Yang was in some way better than Yun. As they shouldn’t, because I think Yun is stupid just from the random tech I’ve read out of Arcadia.

i c wut u deed thar

herp derp

also will you be at the gathering tomorrow so you can get frustrated with Tekken because you cant play intuitively (please explain what you mean by this…no rage) and none of us can explain how the game is supposed to be played?

EDIT: thats an honest question. really not trying to be a jerk. i ask because i want to help…if i can.

Jokes sir. Obviously people are able to explain how to actually play Tekken. That’s just more of a play-by-play of my personal experience with the game from T5 going forward. I had to stare at Tekken for, quite literally, years, along with staring at a tutorial video that was in a language I don’t understand, just to understand the basic flow of a Tekken match. Once you get it, the game is devastatingly simple and elegant, but then you get mired down in the details.

AH3 sucks cause nobody plays that shit except a few passive anime nerds RITE

I got AE for the 360! And…I didn’t realize Soul Satellite combos won’t work now. Yang is cool. Guy seems a little better. Oni is sorta neat.

Silly Yang combo: close MK > dash > close MK > dash > EX mantis x2 > ultra 2 lol

Oh so true, buts it not sf4 is the only game with the problems, lvl 3 xfactor comebacks, DHC glitches kill over have the cast, dark pheonix, and wolverine.

Every game has its gripes, to me its just comes down to which game you have the tolerance for its not that one is better than the other. Im never going to say SF4 is better than MVC3( because i play it a lot more), they are just completely different games. Just cause I’m Butt-hurt over MVC3 it doesn’t give it a reason for me to call it a bad game or hate it.

Anyone remember playing Megaman in a fighting game that isnt the megaman from legend. He the best!!
