Sup NC fighters. I’m new to the scene and want to start competing locally. I don’t think I can make it to WNB, but if not today then next week I can make it. In the meantime is anyone having a meat up for BB and SG anytime soon?
Well BB isn’t all that popular in NC right now but if you bring the game to the WNB next week MTP and me will play you in it.
For SG the best chance you are going to get to play against people is WNB. Most of the gatherings lately have been focused on KoF or UMVC but if you go to Jon’s we will probably play SGs as well.
I guess BB is an acquired test for NC right now. That’s cool though, I haven’t bought KoF but I like the way it looks and plays. Good to hear there are SG fighters in NC. Can’t wait to hit the town.
Going to Bali hai before WNB tonight. Who’s with me?
What time do most people arrive at WNB?
Got my full gaming setup going at my new place now, just need to get internet. Still playing Honda in AE and Wesker-B/Dorm-A/Mag-A in UMvC3. Picked MK back up again since a lot of people on base play it and I wanted to show them that they’re not good at fighting games (proceeds to massage my own ego), but they’ve suprisingly become more motiviated to win instead of outright quitting like most new players tend to do nowadays. I’m also getting back into KoF XIII playing Andy/Shen. Trying to find a third and I’m currently using Clark for it but still messing with that cast. I got SFxT, BBCSE and SCV but haven’t really messed with any of them. There is a Tager player on my base who is surprisingly good and used to play at Arcade Infinity (makes me want to learn BBCSE better just to beat him).
Third place in Skullgirls… I have shamed my family.
You entered skull girls. You have shamed your family :lol:
This is what happens when you step outside the hyperbollic time chamber, Trunks.

In other news… I think I’m done with skullgirls. That might as well call that game Ass to Ass, versus edition. Never seen one assist spammed so much in one match back and forth lol. Maybe if they really do patch it I’ll come back but I just can’t enjoy a game with that in it.
Well who knows. I might still play it at gatherings. Just… ugh.
Good games to everyone I got to play tonight. It felt good competing at a tournament again. I can’t promise to be there every week, but I’ll certainly try. My offer to split gas with Wilmington folks will always be available. Until then, I’m mostly an online warrior nowadays, so hit me up on XBL at Limb0 (zero at the end).
I definitely agree our matches in WF/GF felt reeealy bad but I don’t think it’s as bad as we are making it look (or at least I hope not) neither of us have really played the game much so we pretty much crutched on that one overpowering aspect. We haven’t really explored anything else the game has to offer (if I played you again I would snap in Double for sure).
That being said I think that most of the things I think are wrong with the game stem from Double. Butt assist seems too strong and Butt -> Cat Heads is ridiculously braindead and good on point. I am looking forward to seeing how the top players deal with these two strats in particular or if the game just devolves into spamming the Butt assist and comboing off it on hit/mixup on block.
I think removing the invuln on Double’s butt would be a good way to make the game a whole lot more fun but then it’s just back to Parasoul for everyone so it is kind of the same problem. Honestly I don’t really like invincible assists that much and wouldn’t mind them gone in general. Next gathering I say we try the game without invincible assists (or maybe just 1v1) and see how it feels. I have a feeling it will be a lot more fun.
I definitely agree on that. I’ve been thinking it might be more fun as a 1 on 1 game for a bit. I really don’t think there IS a counter to the double assist. It’s invincible and it hits the whole screen, AND locks you down in block stun for mixups in a game with incredibly good mixups. I really didn’t feel like there was anything I could do against it other than to call my Double to stop yours. Butt > cat heads is stupid but it doesn’t really do that much damage. It’s just brain dead get in and do a little damage / lock down. Probably better to just not even use the cat heads once you get a hit, since they rape the scaling. That part didn’t really bother me since it takes meter.
But yeah… invincible assists are kind of stupid. I don’t mind parasoul as much because she’s one and done. Just a small-ish area of effect for one hit (atleast compared to doubles). Not a flying 3 hit staggered block stun hard knock down. I wouldn’t mind if neither were invincible though. I feel like assists should take atleast… some thought or bare SOME risk when you press the button but to be honest, I’m just mashing it the entire time I’m fighting and there’s little to no repercussion for doing it. Snapping in would make sense if getting to the part where you snap in didn’t involve going through Double’s assist. If anything both players would still use double because she still serves a better purpose than all the other assists for getting that opening for the snap in. One player would just be fighting double-less, which is a pretty slippery slope.
Like if I have the double assist and the other guy doesn’t, I feel in complete control of the match the entire time. That shit isn’t good design.
So why didn’t we play that 25 Money Match? We both no why but will keep that between us! GGs everyone shoutouts to all the new players and people that hyped the hell out of this game. KOF!
Big ups to Jon for making me feel sooooo salty. Keep up the good work.
KoF results?
also, thats “sad” about Skullgirls but i cant say i didnt see it coming. dont worry though kids KoF is a great game AND TTT2 is otw lol
I haven’t played SG yet, but can you combo off an invincible assist? Like Haggar, Tron, Psylocke?
Yes you can combo off of Parasoul and Double assists hard. They both give a hard knockdown and all you have to do to combo them is run up and otg (anything otgs in that game). It uses your one otg per combo but for a lot of characters it doesn’t matter.
Short answer is comboing off the assists is really easy.
KoF was
1.Jon
2.Javier
3.Lu
So i have a new xbl account, WNPass, if anyone wants to add me. If u have my old account, ncbboy, u can delete it. i had to make a new one cause i forgot my windows live password and i used an email i can only access from my home desktop so ressetting the password would be pointless
Wednesday Night Brawls Episode 16 was yet another great event!
The TH Team would like to thank each one of you who came out to WNB last night, we all had a blast and the hype just keeps getting bigger, from the KOF players to the UMVC3 blowups and even the side bets going on…just too epic!
We are working on next Wednesday’s game line up and coming up with ideas to run the tourneys faster, this means that we might start tournament earlier, switch the order of the tournaments being ran, and/or add or discard games we ran by popular demand. None of the ideas mentioned are final and the TH team is working to get this done just right so that we get the tournaments ran properly and out of the way so that the players have more time for casual, money matches, side bets, exhibitions and more…all with the main goal to have WNB give you the entertainment value that you are there to enjoy.
Last night’s tourneys were awesome and too hype…new faces in KOF are making appearances as well as in UMVC3 and a lot more people are becoming regulars. Thank you all so much for supporting your/our local fighting game scene.
AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS! Congratulations to the winners!

Yo good shit on putting up the SFxT results, I’m sure Mash is hyped about getting 2nd in a game haha.
Javier: Yeah man, very good shit. We’ll do that money match, I promise I’m not dodging. I’m always just mentally drained after grand finals so I would like to do it while I’m fresh. I usually just don’t even wanna touch KoF after the tournament lol
I’ll tell you one thing though, this game is leveling up my tournament nerve like a mother fucker. So much tension!
To give you an example of how easy it is to combo off of, since the butt knocks them full screen, I teleport up with Peacock to combo off of it. Sometimes I teleport too early while it’s hitting them, so I have time to whiff the first teleport, wait a sec, then teleport AGAIN and still combo off of it. It’s a ridiculous amount of time to combo off.
That was too funny.
It is bad to be in the desert of KOF without a compass.
