Ottawa Thread 2012

So my stick messed up over the winter break and shen recommended I should just buy a new one, so I was thinking, how do you guys feel about 8arc sticks? I don’t see a lot of people using them so Im not sure if its because they aren’t the best option, or just a coincidence. I checked out the site and they have some sexy colors(a lil pricey but if I get a job I could afford one). Plus the site says they are dual modded as well, which is always convenient.

How do y’all feel bout 8arcs?

Oh and on a more marvel related question, anyone have any tips for improving my airthrow game? In terms of hitting air throws(and throws in general tbh) and teching them. I notice I get thrown a lot, especially by greg, and I figure maybe there are some marvel basics that Im missing.

Also, from what I’ve heard (not much) 8arcs are okay. Tbh, just buy what you think looks good, or message FreezerB. lolol

spend a month or so playing in a style where you try to air throw in every situation possible. once you’re comfortable with it you can integrate that into your usual game.

Thanks, ill try that out at the next set of casuals. Maybe pick a bunch of characters who can combo off their air throws as well. Thanks for the input.

Mash firece like a pro

Never heard of 8arc, but Johnny is our in-house geek.

Qanba sticks are amazing IF you can ever find them in stock.

So how did you guys do in AE at Nemesis?

Hahaha, good joke.

Yeah, I just basically checked canadianjoysticks everyday until they were taking preorders and then just got myself one.

Well only dev entered, and he forfeit mid-way through the tourney, I was thinking bout entering but I was flat broke. As an aside, the venue had these really cool arcade style cabinets running AE 2012. Me and kevin played a few games on them. Random I know, but I felt like sharing that, the venue was really really cool, actually makes me wish I had enrolled in mcgill instead of carleton.

Yeah I saw Dev play on the stream, but I assumed that more of you would have entered. James and Logan? Oh well.

I got raped.

I didn’t go, had other shit going on this weekend and I’m way too [S]out of practice[/S] bad for it to be worthwhile.

And yeah, Foonzo is an AWESOME venue.

Not too sure about AE, but Marvel results were

  1. Toronto
  2. Toronto
  3. Toronto
  4. Ottawa
  5. Toronto
  6. Toronto

Shoutouts to Tak’s “stay fraudulent” to some random homeless person.

Stay free Montreal? Wow.

Also, good shit Kevin. This is why you’re sponsored.

working on new dante combos… might see something “interesting” at hq, tryna bring back that vanilla damage output.

i thought hqq closed down…?

For you, it did.

Besides being balls cold, HQ should be good to re-open on Thursday. We’ll be either getting mats or shoe racks as well.

I seriously wish I made the trip just to witness this.

Good job taking 4th in Marvel, Kevin.
