North Carolina Thread LXIII

I’ll be up for BB at the Talley gathering. I can also bring a setup if necessary.

Anyone in RDU not going to EZ & looking to do anything tonight? Just curious…

Come to EZ with Jon, haven’t seen you in forever.

I’m at state and I can bring a 360 and a copy of ultimate. I was hoping to find somebody locally to play here and boom here’s your post. I was planning on making Saturday the day I really go in on learning some tech. I’m not really very good, so I want to see what others are doing. I only have ultimate but I want to try to learn other fighters too, this is mostly casuals right?

Yep it is casuals, I’m trying to see if we can set up a Tv. If you want to practice today come down to the library gaming area like today there are almost always dudes playing.

Can’t wait to see you down at ReSe next saturday will definitely be interested in hearing about what’s up so I can plan trips to your sessions in the future and promote it up on the nc matchmaking youtube.

What time tomorrow? I have work but depending well see.

It’s literally there in the post but noon-10pm.

Where have you been dude? lol

well guys im officially back from my trip. im also officially in NEED of some serious fight games. i hope you guys have been working on your KoF tech. so whats going on thats relatively close this weekend?

Poverty gathering at the wolves den at NC state this Saturday. I need to play some KOF, nobody here plays it.

Anybody from wilmington going to ReSe? I’m trying to get a ride and I’ll give up some cash to get there and back.

I play it and due to a turn of events I’ll be there. May try a mixture of everything else, but definitely gonna be playing KOF.

What are you doing this weekend? There’s the poverty games at State and if Ling is still hosting Tekken afterwards. Trying to find someone to play against Sunday myself.

Welp just bought UMvC3 from the trading outlet for $28 >_>

cant you get that for the same price at gamestop without the shipping lol?

1st in AE, KoF, and UMVC3. Get at me!

Man KoF is too much fun. I really urge everyone to give it a chance, it’s a great game!

  1. GS to Jon for taking our money, hopefully Fayetteville treats this as a sign to get better (probably not)
  2. How do you beat Zero?
  3. I’m gonna start being way more strict with sign ups. When I ask you to sign up then that means DO IT AT THAT MOMENT not carry on with casuals/conversations then complain about the event running late. So if you don’t sign up by the cutoff at 9PM (or call in) then tough luck.
  4. If someone wants to make of FB event page for the upcoming EZ then please do so. Also if you have player contacts from neighboring states then please give them a call.

Used copies at Gamestop are like $35. Ebay used you can find them from $33-$36, new from $36-$39. This was $28 with shipping, so I was like why not.

LAST MINUTE POVERTY GATHERING TIME

When: Saturday Dec 3, 2011 (aka TODAY)

Where: Wolves Den in Talley Student Center (the basement), Raleigh NC

Directions:

The best way to find Talley is to get to Reynolds Coliseum Parking Deck. Facing the deck with your back to the soccer field Talley is two buildings to your right, it is on the left side of Reynolds.

Parking is available for free for most of the campus so you can park where you’d like unless the zone is designated 24/7.

Time:

noon-10pm

Setups:

-6 working CRTs
-4 Xboxs
-1 PS3
-KOF(360)
-AH3(PS3)
-Catherine(360)
-3rd Strike(360) *probably
-SSFIVAE(360) *probably

We could really use a copy of UMvC3 because I think KOF and UMvC3 are going to be the big hits if people actually show.

Food:

-Once again we will probably mass order pizza it normally costs about $6.50 after tip/tax/delivery for a medium 1 topping pizza from Marco’s.

The only effective way I’ve found to fight Zero is to just run away from him. Don’t fight on his terms, because up close, he will dominate the match. You don’t want to be next to him unless you have frame advantage so that you can stage a mixup. Wesker can do this with the help of a beam assist. The other caveat here is you do NOT want to be cornered. If Zero corners you, things get much, much harder. This makes the running away part a little more difficult, but if you’re smart about it, that’s the best way to fight him. With level 3 Buster nerf, Zero has a much harder time with the range game.

Yeah I really hate getting cornered against Jon’s team, the pressure just seemed endless. The typical flow was I would get him down to like 50% by zoning him with Wesker’s gun shots and Doom plasma beam assist until I eventually got cornered and proceeded to lose from there. I guess I just need to stick to that game plan and adjust it to avoid the corner. I’m just gonna run Dorm/Wesker/Doom order and I feel like I should prioritize killing Dante cause that assist stops so many things.
