North Carolina Thread LXV "Farewell NC"

A travis touchdown themed, tree assassinating, lumberjack… it’s 8:00 am and i’ve already had my daily dose of NC thread, ohbuddy

also what’s wrong with Duolon :frowning:

No defensive options, poor mixups, dies under pressure, low damage.

Has good pokes and ranged options, pretty good frames and range on his crouch jab and can keep momentum pretty well once he gets it though.

Poor mix ups? Doesn’t he have a teleport and instant overhead? He even has a bnb into resets? Also it seems like with meter you can do that ex teleport to get out and it seems hard to bait and punish.

His normals seem good at beating hop pressure as well ( I’m thinking cr.c). I think you might be trying to say he doesnt have a one frame command throw and a dragon/autoguard move lol. I can’t say much though as I’ve never played him personally.

EXTEND IS HERE BITCHES GET HYPE!

oh wait nobody plays that game in NC…

9th episode of our webshow THE COOLER, we touch alot on UMVC3.

Should I trade in BB:CS for it?

Im seriously going to try to attend the WNB for KOF next Week. Anyone want to do a FT5 for $50? Im running low on Purple Sprite & dont feel like buying the shit myself. LOL Any takers? looks DIRECTLY @ Jon

DuoLon has very good pressure game once its been established, which can be frustrating and even borderline overwhelming if you dont have the bar to get him off of you. he can also control space with his ranged pokes. trying to zone him is dangerous because of fw+B, trying to jump at his is risky because of his jump CD, I dont suggest hopping at him UNLESS you have knocked him down. his cr.A is really good because of its range and the fact he can string into teleport, BUT I think the best way to combat that would be to block it standing (the cr.A isnt a low) and then punish the teleport attempt.

Hes not overpowered by any means (refer to KoF 2003 for that lol) but Jon uses his tools well.

EDIT: theres purple sprite?

BBCS is worth $2 now probably. If you like BB, and have time to play it, it’s a good purchase. As much as I “arstal finished” CT for being a bad game , I liked CS2. Arc stepped up their game.

The Sprite I can afford. The Promethazine You mix into to get Fucked up is another Story. Its kinda high cause its hard to get ahold of being that Your suppose to have a Prescription to get it. But theres ways around that. LOL

Edit: Whos trying to play some KOF 2morrow afternoon?

@ Demo: Fuck yea! I’m glad to see your coming to Brawl at the Beach this Saturday and you guys also won’t be disappointed with the venue. The tourney will be held in the VIP area with a bar and the club is downstairs.

BB comes out today. I’m hyped for it. I dont’ expect to do well at Final Round considering how I’m 2 months behind all of the good players who have had access to PS3’s. Plus I’m not playing many games anyways. Oh well I already payed money for FR so I’m gonna enter regardless. I’ll just be doing CS1 combos.

I said I was gonna be hitting the road hard. I will attend this (if I fill the car) and then take the next two weeks to grind locally and save some funds before heading to Final Round.

Brawl at the Beach CARPOOL

  3. Jon

I would like to fill the car to go on this trip. I would probably be wanting to leave late on into the night on Friday or crack ass early on Saturday if thats ok because I prefer night driving.

OJ: were you still interested in going? youre welcome to that last spot.

Final Round CARPOOL

  1. DeMo
  2. Darrell
  3. Javier
  4. Mike

I know that you guys probably have to work Thursday so I would like to leave early Friday morning if thats ok.

Final Round ROOM

  1. DeMo
  2. Darrell
  3. Javier
  4. Will
  5. Q
  6. Lu/Mike

I have reserved the room for Friday Mar 2 through Monday Mar 5, meaning we dont have to leave until noon on that Monday. I know we probably wont stay that long but I got the room through Sunday so I can rest before driving back. Lu will be coming through on Saturday to Sunday for Ko, so I said he could crash.

Shotgun!!!

Edit: Whats the Date for the Brawl @ The Beach joint? Ill go if I dont have to miss any Days from Work.

I’ve gotta do whatever it takes to level up my game. Tired of being the big fish in a small pond - I don’t plan to rest until I’m the great white shark in the large ocean.

FT5 Shotgun Match. Loser gets shot in the face. LMAO im crazy like that.

WNB is tomorrow but maybe we could get some games in before or after? Or if you wanna come out maybe we could convince them to have a KoF setup after the SCV tourney?

Teleport is slow on recovery and can be hit out of, it’s more of a command dash. Instant overhead is unsafe on hit I believe, doesn’t really lead to combos unless you do it late and EX it, which people can react to. His BNB technically resets but there’s no mixup off of it really. I get cl.C at the end of it then either fireball to hold you down or teleport through to the otherside, which is very slow and reactable. cr.C has a big upwards hitbox but the entire thing has a hurtbox too, so it loses to a lot of jump ins. Takuma’s j.CD for instance beats it clean, even when I do it pretty early, and even if he hits the top of my hand.

Rekkas into teleport is unsafe, Demo was able to super me on reaction to it. I haven’t seen a lot of the other punishment options for it, but atleast that is there.

f+B shouldn’t ever be considered a huge threat. It’s mostly just a fireball deterrent. It does like… 1% damage.

Why is CT a bad game? No that I disagree with you, but just wondered about the opinion of someone who played the game more than I did.

I really do wish I could come out for WNB and the monthly EZ for KOF, but I gotta work both those nights. Such is life.

I’ll be ready to get my ass handed to my at BATB, though. It’ll be a learning experience.

The spider bitch nu and Arakune. I didn’t even play the game and they seemed annoying to play against.

Aside from the bullshit characters, the game mechanics were pretty awful since it was being compared to GG a lot.
