North Carolina Thread LXIV

Anyone in Fayetteville wanna play tomorrow for the release of 2012?

Will, I miss your half-fro no homo.

It still pretty much negates any kind of jump-in tick throw attempts, since almost no one in the game has a standing overhead worth a damn.

Um, if someone is advance guarding, and you do a jump in that is blocked, then run up and do lows, they’re probably gonna get hit. Seems like a good way to dissuade them from doing AG all the time, then you can do your jump in ticks all you want. That’s why it doesn’t really bug me, there’s a pretty clear counter to it.

I think shiki means just going from high block to low block once, not mashing it. So I guess in theory you could get a bit more time of throw protection. But I don’t know if this even uses advance guard.

I’m pretty sure that is the bonkers throw protection that stops that, just seems way better to empty jump throw instead. Plus you can still tick throw after a low jab.

UPDATE YOU!

I was gonna import it too but at the same time I talked myself out of it because our BB scene is totally ghost and charlotte and “Team Fatal Counter” got even more people while we lost people, so I didn’t trust the local scene enough to warrant it.

Don’t worry, you’ll have my Relius atleast until I get distracted by another flavor of the month game.

I think think think Erik is doing games at his place. Have to ask him to make sure though but I’ll probably be up there later tonight.

Well then, I may get it just so I can train up a bit and head down to Charlotte to see what those guys are about.

And yeah, KOF has always had a lot of ways to try and sabotage the throw game, with command grab characters being the only ones able to sort of circumvent it. Even then, they don’t set up grabs in the same way you would in other fighters, at least not that I’ve seen.

Heading up to EZ to meet everybody now. EZ on Monday??? Crazy!!!

As far as ReSe brackets, Brian you can seed location and “rank” at the same time. Even without that, you should have the two prior month’s brackets printed out so you can have it randomly re-seed or perhaps make manual adjustments.

I…sorta like the Athena voice. The other two suck though. How is this accessed? Is it just a default option or does it require unlocking? Also, is it per character or an on/off switch for the whole cast.

Can’t arcade version only :(.

lost ark got fist of the north star. has anyone else played it before? feels like some weird guilty gear clone. not sure if i like it but has potential.

also, 3rd Strike is up and running again! actually played someone who mained elena. never seen that before. i didn’t know the matchup at all and got stomped.

found a tri-modded (360/PS3/PS2) TE-S on craigslist in chapel hill. sold by a swell guy named iory. he said he reads SRK so if you’re on here, thanks for the stick!

i like UMVC3 and KOFXIII. tekken hybrid was a huge letdown. worth $10 not $40.

also, for you oldschool PC gamers, GOG.com is having a 50% x-mas sale on all their games. most games are in the $3-$5 range. they have tonnns of great stuff so check it out if you grew up on classics like ultima, wing commander or sim city 2000.

i did horrible at FR last year but will probably go again. i have a modded 360 that runs final burn (CPS1/2/3 + NeoGeo) so if you guys want me to bring it and play some old stuff like X-Men COTA or JoJo let me know. i brought it last time but marvel 3 had just come out so nobody wanted to look at it if it wasnt marvel. :<

You have absolutely no idea about the history NC has with HnK. Oh man that game…

A lot of us use to play it. We either came out as stronger men from playing it or came out feeling completely insignicant as a person.

Yo, good shit 2nite on d@ XIII, Demo. This Game is WAAAAAY to Awesome! You know where I am now so hit Me up whenever You can Swing by. 1

Fist of the north star?
I’m not sure how to feel about this except saying I will be there
tomorrow

This new Xbox 360 dashboard is not intuitive at all. Trying to be more polite than calling it an atrocious eyesore.
