North Carolina Thread LXV "Farewell NC"

how much it cost and food is there?

Good stuff to everyone who came out last night, had a great time.

I went back (meaning I went back to Knightdale) and confronted them and acted a littler angier with my deaf rage and they forked it over. Shady fucks.

yeah it sounds like someone who works there was trying to hold it out from you until they could pick it up on payday, which is tomorrow. that is shady. but you DO KNOW if you needed it I would have been able to get it for you.

Wait so extend is a disk release? Hoo boy, we’ll see how this goes, extend looks pretty great overall

Yeah, its a new disc. Thanks Demo, I was goin to have to do that but I decided to try one more time. Man, I wish Final Round registration didn’t end so early cuz I am completely tapped out of money for the month.

Yo Demo I am going to put myself on the list right now for an advanced copy of SFxT for PS3. I will take a strategy guide too if you get them.

I’m fairly certain that you, me, and Xaiah were mad and therefore did not have a good time. But I love coming out and I’ll be back to get bodied in Mahvel.

$5 entry and venue unless otherwise posted.

A new GG, as of right now, is the only new game that I will learn. Right now I’m sticking with BB and Marvel.

Personally I don’t think a new GG will come out for another few years. BB took around 3-5 to make, and if Arc JUST got the license back last year then we better be praying for a GGAC port to next gen to stall for time.

Killin my money man, the fact that you’re getting these players. Let’s just hope we can top 3 AE and Marvel this time around although I feel NC is losing interest in AE, that or just not putting in the effort to keep up with out of state the only one who managed this time around being Ace but it may have just been a bad time for people.

Those of you complaining about Duo Lon in KOF 13, be thankful that you never played this game:

[media=youtube]jDZl-Wu3ikE[/media]

Shiki: I dont really see anybody complaining. Just character discussion. Also serious question that you can answer here or via pm to avoid it being an SRK flame fest, but I gotta know WHY exactly are you so critical of KoFXIII? This past weekend I got word of it and I also watched the stream archive and you just seem very negative or sour towards the game. Just being honest with you man, with your lofty expectations you might as well just play the games from yesteryear because KoFXIII is about as good as youre gonna get out of today’s fighters.

Also heres the update guys. I am officially OUT for BatB. In fact im out for the next week.

  1. Cant come out tonight because its my mom’s bday, gotta have them priorities straight
  2. Part 1 of the defensive driving course is Saturday, so no BatB for me
  3. Part 2 of the defensive driving course is Tuesday

the earliest I can be active again is Wednesday for WNB. but I will also be going to EZ next weekend.

now on to other matters…

Street Fighter X Tekken PRE-STREET COPIES!!!

as always I can never 100% GUARANTEE anything until a couple days before but im taking an interest check as to who would want it and on what system. my perfect scenario would be to go down to ATL for Final Round with a case of copies (each case is 16 copies) for each system, for obvious reasons. so if im able to do this who would want in?

When i come to WNB im winning AE

I just wanted an excuse to show people what 2003 Duo Lon was like. Makes me feel better about getting blown up.

Watching the archive, I want to make it clear I wasn’t trying to dump on the game. If I sound overly negative or sour then it wasn’t my intention, I’m just normally a very negative and critical person to begin with. However when on commentary from now I’ll keep that in mind and try to be more positive or neutral because I talked about an hour about things I don’t like about the game and I understand if people took that the wrong way.

Though it does kind of irritate me that ever since KOF13 came so many people are now apparently hailing it as one of the best games ever when those same people never even made an attempt at playing 2002 UM.

One thing I will disagree with you is that KOF 13 Console could’ve a been a lot better. A lot of the decisions of changes did improve the game, but a lot of it is just pandering to appeal to more broad audience.
I think KOF 13 console is definitely a step in the right direction after two bad games (KOF 12 and KOF 13 Arcade), and I’m not trying to discourage anyone from picking it up or playing it but my PERSONAL problems with it (why I don’t like it as a KOF fan, not saying it’s a terrible game) I’ve gone over:

  1. HD Mode
  2. HD Mode, I’m putting it twice because I believe the game would be 2x better if this was overhauled. Currently HD combos do too much damage, for too little risk and resources. It also skews the game toward rewarding execution over KOF fundamentals and strategy. Yes, I know there are really easy 90% HD combos that don’t require huge execution but most of those require a lot of resources.
    Also as I said before I don’t like that I can work hard with Clark and do 3 combos but then make one mistake and have my opponent comeback and basically win the round with 1 combo in any given round.
    Execution has always been important but when playing 2002 UM I never ever felt that I was at a disadvantage because I didn’t do Max Mode combos or even if I used a character which pretty much had no use for Max Mode. In KOF 13, you’re pretty much forced to do HD combos as soon as you get an opening and have the meter otherwise there’s pretty much no way you’re going to match the damage output of any good player.
    Also in my opinion long-ass HD combos tend to slow the pace of the match a lot, especially when it’s “let me juggle you for 10 seconds then you comeback and activate and juggle me for 10 seconds”. Especially since pretty every character has the same optimal combo, with some variances based on whether you’re in the corner or not. Shit gets very old, very fast.
    It’s also ridiculous the length of time that HD mode lasts. In KOF 2002, Max Mode lasts maybe 6 seconds at most and each cancel takes like 20% of the bar. In KOF 13, you get so much time that you can actually reset the opponent halfway through the combo by intentionally or accidentally dropping the combo and still have plenty of time to complete a second combo.
    I can go on and on, but basically HD mode turns every character in 3S Yun and everybody knows how I feel about that:

[media=youtube]cDGlN6mluGA[/media]

I mean I’m not knocking anyone for enjoying it. I mean I know everyone nowadays loves training mode, doing combos, and all that but I enjoy fighting games when I’m able to outthink my opponent, not sit in training mode for hours practicing the same combo.

  1. Meter building. We’ve gone over this to death.
  2. Hitstun/blockstun nerf, this one too. The game doesn’t even really feel like a KOF to me due to it, IN MY OPINION ONLY.
  3. Many characters still don’t feel all that complete (not a huge deal to me anymore, I understand they can always come in KOF 14)
  4. Most of my personal favorite characters missing (ditto, pretty much every KOF fan bitches about the roster of every game).

To use my favorite analogies (food)–it’s like I know you guys are all excited about your bologna and cheese on wonder bread (KOF 13) after years of eating shit sandwiches (SF4, KOF 12, etc.).

The thing is I’ve been eating Philly Cheesesteaks made with freshly sliced Prime Rib (w/ a side of Au Jus) and Reuben Sandwiches with Corned Beef and Pastrami on an Onion Roll with horseradish mayo, so Bologna & Cheese isn’t going to make me very hungry.
Nor is someone coming up to me and saying “b-b-but at least it’s not a shit sandwich!!!”.

I agree with your point about HD mode, I think it’s kinda overpowered compared to the rest of the game, and somewhat agree on the meter building.

The stuff in the bottom half I don’t agree with. despite my flaws, I think XIII is the only fighter from this gen other then VF where I’ve actually tried hard to get better at it. As for roster, this is the best roster since 98UM.

who do you use? And I wouldn’t say that if I are you. You might get bodied

Were, not are. I hate autocorrect

Then why do you play SF4?
