Reno Crew Thread, 2005

if you want GG training, contact my cellphone and visit the house.
do not waste my time if you are not willing to lose 30+ games per hour. i will make you a top player if you are willing to get and take my advice.

really? I can come over and visit ure house? u mean ure roommate wont mind???

and me lose 30+ games per hr… hahaha … u seem to forget me still beating you ass XD

but if its cool with u I am down to come over for practice…

AND ANSWER URE DAMN CELL PHONE BEEN TRYING TO CALL U ALL YESTERDAY…!!! >:O

RenoROB

PS we could also do some priavte HDr and SF4 practice sessions too if ure up for some practice on it too on top go GG

i got my cellphone charger to work, so i actually have my cellphone now.

and yeah, everyone is welcome. i will be doing 3~5 hour practice sessions during the week, need to figure out WHO is interested and how often. bucklemyshoe? rob? chris? jp? if you guys are absolutely serious, let me know. i don’t mind people who don’t know GG well, but it will be very difficult for me to teach you the absolute basics when everyone in reno is so far along the path.

i only want to enter the SF4 tournament for fun, but i do plan to play the game competitive on PC. my house comfortably can seat 4-7 people in the game room, and we have HRAP 2’s for PS2. if needed, i can easily house more than that.

however, travelling for me is difficult due to money and whatnot.

p.s; i live at the sparks marina, so calculate your travel time accordingly.

Let’s play Unlimited Codes sometime!

I can’t even do a combo in that game but maybe you can!

what the hell checkerpatch you silly bastard

also bumping this thread, chris stopped by yesterday and i taught him everything he needs to know about AC

bump >:|

Howdy! I’m getting into Third Strike and HD seriously and It would be awesome to play you guys.

I’m pretty well known for smash so I’ve met a couple of you already, but I look forward to meeting the rest of you.

Thanks for the practice Paul, I’ve got a ways to go but it’s nice to enjoy this game again. Your Sol is pretty damn good!

Hey Pote I play both those games, I play HD more though but 3rd strike is still cool. I’d like to play you sometime.

Definitely. I’m actually room mates with Tantin, so I’ll tag along with him sometime.

We could also play at my place too, but we currently lack a set-up and sticks. (fail)

what’s up Pote, that’s cool you’re roomates with Tantin. Right now I just play HD at a friends house online I don’t have my own stick for 360 or ps3. I do have a stick for ps2 and usb adaptor.

I play GGPO, do you guys have a ps2 stick and ps2? If so I can get 3rd strike for that or we can play on GGpo, really looking forward to SF4 as well. Let me know what’s up

Practiced with Rob today, was really good to sit down and point out problems in gameplay, and feel like we’re actually accomplishing something. @@

Next serious practice will probably be Wednesday throughout the day. If you guys can, try to leave your schedule open for that!

Good games last night…

HD remix seems to be a hit for Smash players … yay…

hopefully that’ll trickle down to SF4

good luck

HD practice was too good. Can’t wait to meet up again.

EDIT:

Rob, my aim is robertwbenge. I’m not on super frequent due to my computer being down, but it’s probably the best way to contact me.

Koogy what time tonight??? is it still on?

It’s still on.

Hopefully I can get ahold in Chris pretty soon, and JC doesn’t have a job… so we should have a nice session today. If it works better for everyone, I can set up two TV’s. Just need another copy of GG + a PS2. :3

wtf rob is actually attempting to play AC now? the world is coming to an end.

Good Games last night…

I am still very out of GG… but my old habits are still there… ;-;…

I guess I gotta teach this old dogs some new tricks soon… hehe

Yo, what up guys. Long time no see. With SF4 coming out soon, I’ll be down for practice. As you all know, I’m a super scrub at 2d fighting games, but I like to better. I suppose the only way to improve is practice with the best in town. I will try my very hardest not to button mash.

Just pre-ordered two sticks + SF4 with one day shipping. Hopefully will have it on launch, but probably not.

Rob / Chris will definitely be ready for EVO with constant practice like we’re having. JP, this offer goes out to you also; especially if you live near my house. Feel free to stop by whenever, and practice!

As long as you give me atleast 30 minutes notice, I’m available every day from 4pm - 8pm. Once SF4 is out, I will have two TV’s going for SF4, and GG:AC. Also, I will be using SF4’s online feature extensively; feel free to hit me up on that once it’s out.

Things for Rob and Chris to remember:

rob -

-Practice your basic core ranges with Eddie

-Practice D + 22D unblockable -> {shadow k} -> break the law version of shadow gallery {HS puddle}.

-Practice CH 2K -> 22HS ranges, generally start of the round distance.

-Try to break the habit of using your shadow just to give you one free grab, and use it for unblockables instead.

  • Practice using shield to reflect fireballs (sol, ky, venom for now)

  • Get down your CH combos for 2HS and 6HS at all the usual ranges.

CHRIS:

  • Envision your future potemkin.

  • Practice your basic counterhit combos: 2HS [air hit], 2HS [ground hit], HS, 2S, 6P.

  • Practice Potemkin Buster FRC, Practice Potemkin Buster from white blocking.

R.I.P Tokyo Game Arcade… ;_;

>:C BUMP.
