That Topanga tournament was too sick. Hype matches everywhere.

@Jak, just found out Trish Low H causes more scaling than Trish’s stand H, so don’t ever do it at the beginning of your combo.

Good to know, although I must ask, how do you even begin to find something like that?

I got pissed that nothing was working so I tested pretty much every variant I could think of of a basic combo, then used that as extrapolation. That was pretty much the biggest factor in whether or not a combo would land.
Also sick new combos brah

Skullgirls is out today- anybody picking that up on PSN? Add me: CU_Rigel.

Makes sense, thanks for sharing. Thanks, always trying to max out my damage to compensate for my less than adequate neutral game, been thinking bout learning the hopscotch combo with trish, not sure if it does more damage, but it looks more damaging lol.

Hey guys, I was wondering for the next capital K.O. would you like it to be the may long weekend ie the 26th or the first weekend in june, the 2nd. Trying to think of which would work best overall so we thought we would reach out and see what you preferred.

It’s more reliable, just learn it. Also it leads into much better combos if you have the right assists, but it wont work with sentinel.

Not in june, too close to MAT
EDIT: How’s Skullgirls?

What Dev said. MAT is 100x more popular than Capital KO and nobody would show up for it June 2nd unless they were unable to get a ride to Montreal.

I’m enjoying it a lot, unsurprisingly. I love the combo system- super open ended, but you can’t just loop stuff because of the infinite protection thing. Training mode has hitbox displays, hitstun bars, and some other nice stuff, which is great, but lacks a dummy record function, which is not great.
The netcode and matchmaking have been great for me so far. It’s GGPO, doesn’t take a long time to find matches, it gives you your opponent’s exact ping before you decide to play them or not, and it breaks regions geographically instead of by country. (So we’re in the same region as New York, but not the same as Vancouver. This was a problem in SSF4.)

throws/tick throws are kinda retarded and sometimes the ratios dont balance out that well (if you use a team of 3 you bleed like a bitch and will get raped if youre fighting 1 char) but otherwise its pretty dope and im enjoying playing filia (rushdown monster)

Heh, I’ve been playing Fillia/Peacock, and I considered adding Cerebella to my team just for the command grab assist. But I don’t really like playing her, and like you said, with 3 you’ve got no health, so I ended up setting my regular assist on peacock to throw. It’s techable and slightly slower, but still pretty good.

Do you have a reliable BnB for Fillia yet? I’ve mostly been doing whatever, launch, j.lp j.lk j.mk AD j.mp, and I land right next to them. Good for resets, but I’m sure I could get more damage.

Nah I’m still working on combos, Ms. Fortune seems pretty dope tho so imma be testing her out

so… is the work on HQ done yet?

HQ open tonight?

This infinite protection in skullgirls is pretty wack, I can do a combo that’s not even a loop and it will pop up. Seems that it just kicks in after certain amount of hits/damage too

HQ is closed indefinitely.

No idea when these fuckers will be done but it’s not any time soon, that’s for sure.

Also, who’s playing Skullgirls on what? Debating it for the PS3.

Well thats depressing to hear

yea, considering we’ve already got well over 50% combos there must be a way to exploit the system.

no idea what the fuck theyre doing but that makes me salty as hell. no way im gonna be even close to ready for toryuken, shit sucks… ps3 btw

random but, i like how aug popped up and he was hype as shit then he disappeared off the face of the planet

sigh No HQ tonight or for the foreseeable future makes me so sad. Someone please host or I might lose my mind over here.
