North Carolina Thread LXIII

Hey Nameda. Have you tried that on a person who has an air dash. I only ask b/c that reminds me of the tech trap combos that Spider-Man could do in Vanilla. If you didn’t have an air dash, you couldn’t get out and probably died but if you did, you could dash up and away as soone as you recovered and spidey missed the super. Just asking.

North Carolina: Deaf ears and blind eyes.

I tested KoF XIII online with Mycah from Texas last night. Here’s what happened:

X-Box 360.

Mycah Leonhart - Houston, 20d/5u Comcast, WiFi N

Spooty Whiteboy - Chapel Hill, NC, 15d/1u Time Warner, Straight Wired

1,177 mi apart, 3 bar connection (outta 4). Overall playable - could be better…but could be a lot worse.

There were no lag spikes the entire session (about 8 games). There was some input-lag, but it was a constant…no visual lag and the input lag didn’t randomly change.

I was able to hit-confirm easy combos like Kim’s cr.LK, cr.LK, cr. LP, Super. I was also able to roll through fireballs on reaction and uppercut a normal jump on reaction. Though, with Kyo I was unable to land a fireball after an Air Orochinagi, but that could be due to only having a little time to practice before we started playing.

So my verdict is:

Definitely playable at 3 Bars. But I wouldn’t try anything below that. I’m guessing that 4 Bars should be really good.

He tried it on me with several character and it still worked. I believe he had prOblems doing it on Dante though. I was able to air dash forward. I can’t remember if mashing H with Dante worked or not.

NC is not destined to be ass. Things can change you just have to work together instead of pulling apart.

GGs last night xS A M U R A Ix. I did some practicing this morning to get more use to the Jill nerfs and well, remember how I said her nerfs made me lose my BnB that did 750,000 with one meter. Well, I screw around and by accident made up an even better BnB/reset that does close to 980,000 with only one meter and no assist. Pretty tough to pull off but it’s also pretty tough to read. My Jill is starting to look good again, but I still got to work on breaking her timing habits vanilla. I also have to work around getting my She-Hulk back on par due to her nerfs. If you’re on again today we should battle again. I won’t be on late since I’m back to work tomorrow and have to be in bed by 7pm. :sunglasses: Have at you… dood!

Quote me.

I don’t even think I’ve mentioned Ultimate Marvel on SRK except for one time that I said that I fun playing against Jon and Demo…
Which has nothing to do with me saying anything negative about the game.

This just proves my point… People are going so far out of their way to be right on this subject, that accusing someone of telling others to not play a game sounds like good a idea.

This nonsense needs to stop. Seriously. -______-

@Jon

Haters gonna hate.

Screw playing games you like, make a career out of fighting games and play the games you win at! Bring on the hate! Summon the power of Supreme DNA I command you! UMVC3 sucks ass it’s some game that was brought out 6 months later because MVC3 was a beta test, KOF13 is broken and it’s made by SNK which makes sucky games. Don’t play that shit! AE is so boring, damn dimps and ono messing up our glorious street fighters! AH3 is a pedophile fighter so you shouldn’t bother or you’re a pedo too. Only clowns play tekken cause they like to juggle all day.

And before anyone takes this post serious… Don’t. I just don’t see why it’s like “Oh you should never play X game that I haven’t played because it’s not good and that company sucks.” NC is ridiculous man, you got two really great games out (UMVC3 and KOF13) and did anyone forget Tekken Hybrid which has the demo for TTT2 and Tekken Tag HD? They are all out and yet people still wanna act like bitches on a forum over which game makes their dick grow bigger. I would seriously think people here were typical 10 year olds on Xbox Live based on this pointless arguing that’s not really any better than people whining over Modern Warfare 3 being lame and that people who play BF3 have huge dicks.

everyone is a fucking comedian. everyone is a pundit. everyone is an expert. everyone is so above what they try to preach to others about.

I mentioned I had an awesome combo with Kyoand instead of game discussion, we get more of the same bs.same thing happened when Jon said he had a Dr.Strange combo. it was met with turned up noses and sarcasm.

I fucking hate this place sometimes…play the goddamned games and stfu

im grabbing my Tekken Hybrid and playing KoF. if you don’t have anything constructive to say, don’t say shit.

hey guys, I’ll be visiting my brother in Raleigh for Thanksgiving, any gaming going on around there?

What’s the Kyo combo?

hop 2+C, hop 2+C (yes this combos) close C, 3+D (1hit) 236+D, 421+B super cancel air orochinagi land 236+C 63214+D

this should do almost 60%. it can be started at 3/4 screen and will push to the corner. if you want to extend the damage you can drive cancel the last move into a 421+B super cancel air orochinagi

Heading to the gamefrog thing with setups and camcorder in about 20 minutes with a few friends. See you all there.

Do you have any tips on landing hop “2+C, hop 2+C?” I can’t seem to get it to work. It seems like hop and hyper hop attacks have less hit-stun than normal jumps, or maybe that is just me.

Also, I think Super Cancel takes 1 bar of the Drive meter, just like a Drive Cancel.

It does. So that’s a 1 super bar, half Drive bar combo. Still pretty good.

Ok, so when you were talking about people trying to kill the hype for XIII (which I just picked up today), were you specifically talking about me, or just people in general? Do I have to quote you SPECIFICALLY doing that? C’mon Rob, you’re smarter than that.

It’s boiled down to “Ultimate is the same Marvel 3” and that in turn gives another log to throw on the fire of “this game is bullshit” because well, vanilla was a bit of bullshit but like I said before, its a new game even though some feel differently. I mean, people dont sit around talking about how Super Turbo is the same ol’ Champion Edition and if they do theyre idiots. People dont say Calamity Trigger is the same Continuum Shift. The 9 month gap between sequels really has did a number on people.

First and foremost, meter building is SLOW. Hitstun scaling is more severe. No more DHC glitch, you cant block instantly out of airdashes, no more invincible assists. All this makes it even more justifiable that you die for guessing wrong against someone who has a meter or two. In 6 months, after SFxTekken, Soul Calibur 5, Skullgirls and Blazblue whatever have come out we will see if the bandwagon for 13 is so strong. The most balanced, technical, non-bullshit 2d fighter out at the moment. I dont dislike KoF, I dislike the groupthink thats trying to sway all the non-KoF players to play KoF like it doesnt have its fair share of bs either. Didnt people cry about Raiden in the arcade version? Whats so balanced about him?

Oh and Tactiks I added you on FB.

Still rocking my day 1 team: Joe, Ammy, Ironman.

Don’t have the game yet and I’ve only played it for one gathering. But we both know that Joe is really good, and ammy seems to still be pretty solid. Also people are starting to say that Iron Man is a better anchor than before. Plus my bomb combos with Joe on point still works so I’m happy.

Might rock Team Columbine (Dante/Vergil/Wesker) at this rate, though I’m not really feeling Dante. I still think he’s a perfectly viable character, just not that interesting anymore.

Vergil gets a lot out of OTG assists. His combo damage and stability both skyrocket when he has an OTG assist available.
