North Carolina Thread LXV "Farewell NC"

[Madskizophrenik]

Had a lot of fun out there. I like the setup you had last night with the casuals and tournament running. Got to get a lot of matches in and learned a lot while there as well. Kudos sir.

Thank you man Im glad you could make it and you had a good time

[Madskizophrenik]

Wow good shit man. DAT MEXICAN!

LOL You know it bro XD I had to work hard to earn it…people got some serious skills in AE so it was definitely an uphill battle for me but Im happy with the results

[Alice-chan]

See you all at EZ tomorrow. I dunno thinking between the DC and the PS3. Seems the past few times there hasn’t been enough PS3 systems since if me and my buddy who isn’t able to show up didn’t bring ours we’d only have had 0-1 KoF setups.

Voldo’s fun. GGs at the CaliburFest, wish I had a camera for that shit.

Had fun playing SoulCali. Three of the characters I thought I’d want to play I may not even care to in the long run. They’re really cool characters to me, but why bother when you can use something else easier for the same price. Still undecided, but I may just jump on the SCV train until TTT2 comes out. Gonna watch some vids and look up frame data and stuff for the time being.

And the guide book is no joke. I use to think guide books were a joke but they definitely went in with the SCV strategy guide. Plus the training mode isn’t bad either. The hardback guide is packed with info, but if you don’t have one the game even has individual tips for each character. What moves are good for launching, strategies behind using the move, what’s safe and what’s not, etc. Not as in depth as the hardback, but definitely a plus to have IN THE GAME.

Having real problems finding a char I like in SCV right now. They took the three chars I played away (Mina/Yun/Rock)

I’m going to give this game a chance until FR or Skullgirls though, I can see that there’s goodness in here. It’s not going to beat out VF though (which is the real reason I’m heading to FR now)

Another discussion about variety in games? You want to encourage variety and creativity? Make characters STRONG. Number of options doesn’t matter if they’re all weak or useless. See Maxi in previous games. Now look at him, all “stripped down” and he’s a force of rape. I saw people on 8wayrun complaining about how Maxi was dull now and everyone’s Maxi would look the same, but damn it, if it means seeing more Maxi in competitive play, I’m all for it. He’s still stylish as hell, his combos are awesome and he hurts like a mother now.

Regardless of how much you may like a character’s variety, if you intend to compete, you will have way more fun playing that character if you don’t have to struggle with them at high levels of play.

Maxi is stupid good now. Please tell me your on xbox, I could really use some good maxi practice. I play him a bit just to get familiar with his strings so I’m not free against him, but I’m not good with him at all.

Try to get that kara grab down, it’s really important to Ken’s offense. Also, target combo–>Fireball should be safe, but when you do that you’re forgoing an opportunity to frame trap or tick throw your opponent. If you don’t have it down already, work on getting his cr.lk, cr.lk, cr.lp xx HP SRK combo down consistently. Although you’ll do less damage with this combo, if they block then you can attempt a kara grab or frame trap (cr.MK if they’re mashing on tech or jab; if they’re late teching you can walk up and do cr.MP or st.MK) after cr.lp instead of hit confirming into HP SRK. This allows you to keep the pressure on instead of letting your opponent off the hook with just chip damage.

One thing that will help against Ryu is Ken’s kara focus. If you plink fwd+MK (hit MK just slightly before hitting MP) when doing a focus, Ken will move forward before going into the focus attack animation. Using it at mid range is really helpful for getting through fireballs. Learning how to option select will help against both Bison and Viper:

[media=youtube]aHHoGHcgK9k[/media] <— This video should give you a basic idea of what option selects are. Option selecting LP SRK on Bison’s wakeup while doing a safe jump pretty much shuts down his wakeup, same goes for Viper with HP SRK. Also, Ken’s cr.MK goes under Viper’s Burn Kicks. You should be able to react to random Burn Kicks with a cr.MK, which helps a lot in keeping her out.

VERY GOOD VID. GROUND BASIC INFO LEADS TO WINS.

Howdy y’all.

I’ll be appearing on wake up SRK this Tuesday at 930 pst to talk about my upcoming Raleigh tournament. Hope I can catch you all there.

[Jon_Slayton]

I took a look into my crystal ball last night, I see you all getting bodied in the future <3

[dwmiller]

I finally got my board for dual modding ordered. Lizardlick is out of stock for buttons as well. Anyone have any recommendations?

Edit: nvm going with focus attack.

Talk shit on literally the rest of the nation for not having bojangles and cookout + the fat white girl ass radius that tends to surround those joints

Hey, that looks pretty good, I’d be down for some Marvel and SCV.

Would you guys be willing to do tournaments if someone ran it for you guys? I live literally 3 minutes away and have been trying to find a venue to use for one.

[Limbo]

Hey Wilmington, what’s the deal with Cape Fear Games? I heard you guys used to gather there.

[Sandich]

I’m new to competitive Street Fighter and live in Greensboro. I am interested in coming to the ‘Tuesday Night Throwdown’ ([Oct 15, 2012] MINDGAMES FIGHT CLUB presents...MONDAY NIGHT FIGHTS! (Greensboro, NC)) at the Pour House Feb. 7th. I have a setup I am willing to bring (either Xbox or PS3), but I don’t have all the costumes or colors if anyone cares about that.

I don’t have a Facebook so is there a way I can sign up here or call someone to sign up?

[Drunken_Dragon]

SCV training mode says: “Fuck you, I’m god damned amazing”.

Namco, you know what you must do.

that is all.

[Alice-chan]

Elite Zone was great and for those who were a bit worried, just know i’m back and all good to go for the next EZ soon I hope. Got my tax return and just gotta get work on the car. So iffy on SC5. I really hope someone can change my mind about this game.
