Orlando Thread: We Want More Dive Kicks!

Early 2000’s

GGs to everybody at Senkei’s tonight. Good work put in by all.

Once Kenny masters the new CS Bang combos he will be yet another strong saltbringer with everybody’s favorite top-tier ninja. Took him like a whopping 10 minutes after watching my brother play for him to start consistently comboing Daifunka off of 623B. He already makes great use of Bang’s mobility for air footsies. Give him a week in the lab and he’ll be good to go.

Nix is still a beast, no surprises there. Dude makes Lambda look like Nu. The fact that so many people managed to drag out their sets against him (and even win, in a couple cases) when he was on point says a lot for how quickly people are taking to this game.

Rico started to show some really good adaptation by the end of the night. He’s starting to learn patience, which will have some good effects on both his offense and his defense in the long term. (Seriously, nice curse dodging in that one round vs. Tsak…and when you finally got cursed with a massive life lead, you held onto it and didn’t throw it away trying to thrash out. Even though you eventually lost the match, that kind of stuff will become more natural as you learn to use Makoto’s tools beyond just mad jab RTSD. Sometimes it’s more what you DON’T do than what you DO that wins you matches.)

God, Tager mirrors are so much more fun than Bison mirrors it’s not even funny. So many more twists and turns trying to frame-trap the other guy beyond “is he going to loop-play c. LK xx LK Knee Press on me, or is he going to throw a roundhouse in there instead?”. Magnetism, Spark Bolt and the tip of B Sledge hitbox keep people a lot more honest, too. I honestly don’t look forward to going back to Super after tonight. Feels like this game will take a lot longer to get stale than CT.

KFC’s New Skinwich – A Skin Sandwich

Blame Sara.

If it was made from Church’s skins… I’M THERE!

I’m usually one for fucking unhealthy heartattack giving foods…but FUCK that’s too much!
Good in theory, not in practice…They should just make a fucking huge chicken sandwich…with cheese and bacon.

KFC has become a real life parody of fast food…and I like it!

EDIT: it’s fake (smacks self); but since the double-down, something like that coming from KFC wouldn’t surprise me

Lol same thing happened to me, then I read the cities and I was like “huh…they spell something backwards!”

GG’s to everyone at Senkei’s tonight. Mental notes to self (will probably process better if said out loud):

  1. Don’t get cursed by Arakune.
  2. Don’t get air thrown by Arakune (See #1).
  3. Top-tier anti-Bang strategy: Rip out the A button on the other guy’s stick. Watch him panic for lack of knowing what to do. Fucking 5A.
  4. Hit j.A more for close air-to-air engagements, especially against Bang (See #3).
  5. Learn how to close in on Lambda.
  6. Stop eating wake-up/reversal supers. This isn’t SSF4 anymore.
  7. Learn better combo follow-ups in different situations. Fuck Arakune’s hitbox.

Carlos and I will be hosting later today starting around 7:30 and anyone is welcome to come. I have two 360 setups and two TE sticks but, I have plenty of room if someone wants to bring another set up.

857 Timber Isle Dr.
Orlando, FL 32828

The name of the neighborhood is Timber Isle and the gate code is 1970. If you have any questions, call Carlos at 407-415-7329 since I lost my fucking phone.

haha nerds moshing! yesss!!

sorry i couldn’t make it out last night wife had the night off and i hadn’t seen her much in the past couple days. I should be at Nestors tonight tho.

would it be possible to notify the day before casuals sessions are hosted? generally when i check its too late to be worth going to

I’ll be there tonight.

as posted earlier in the thread you can plan on people hosting the following days with roughly 90% consistancy.

Thursday - Nestor/Carlos(avalon park)
Saturday(barring tourneys) - myself(ucf)
Wed(ranbats possibly?) - Torrin.

we’ve been hosting pretty much every thursday and saturday now for about…6 monthes or better…

The problem with listing it a day ahead of time is a lot of these are random happenstance(aside from the scheduled ones) when someone finds out they don’t have anything to do that evening and decide to host. What part of town are you on?

i’m in lake mary so most of those places is a little bit of driving for me. also i should have mentioned that i was just trying to ask senkei in that post (just hoping to get some gg in)… but thanks for the heads up

i’m in lake mary too dude! off of AAA Blvd. i go to those gatherings when I can, where abouts are you?

So what’s been going on in Orlando? I need to come up again! When’s the next tournament?

I’ve been dying to see the volta live. deftones on the 27th at HOB FTW. This will be my 3rd time seeing them :smiley:

I saw a few of your matches from the optionselect stream. I know you’re leveling up down there. You need to come up and show us what new tricks you’ve learned.

This sunday!
