Oh damn, really? That sucks. Sorry, dude.
I just checked out Strange Matter for the first time and I have to say, it’s pretty amazing, seeing as though I haven’t been to an arcade in years. I forgot to ask the employees how long they were in service. Do you guys know? I was playing 3rd Strike for a bit, got my ass handed to me by Ibuki, and left after that. xD
So how many setups are we having tonight?
I’m bringing a PS3 with a stick and a controller. I’ll be there at 5.
Anyone got shuma and Jill? Im about to download them
- Ahh! They are not in the store!
Yeah, actually got them last night with my LE copy. Been playing Shuma all night and day long, and he’s pretty good. He definitely earned a spot on my team. Jill, on the other hand, has a lot of potential to be a great character. I messed with her a couple of times, but she plays kinda weird. It’s only a matter of time before somebody like Combofiend comes up with some destructive technology for her.
Jill looks like shit.
will there be new characters tonight?
They’re not available on PSN yet if you don’t have the collector’s edition, so they’re not on my console. However… MK demo is.
See y’all there!
That sucks. Jill, Wesker is really good. I’ll be there but it’ll be really late, prolly like 9pm.
I’'l be there in about 20 minutes.
Great games last night at Strange Matter. It was really awesome to see so many new faces! We are all trying to Lv. Up, and the best way to do it is through these get togethers. I hope some people make it to Cary Street Cafe on Thursday. See you then
I know that obviously if there were a date set in stone it’d be in the Tournaments & Events forum, but does anyone have a ballpark date for the next Strange Matter saturday tournament? I looked through this thread and didn’t see anything. I missed the 3/5/11 one (I think that was the date) but want to try to make it up to the next one. I know a few other NC guys have shown interest so there should be at least 3+, maybe more depending on the date. Sometime in mid-April perhaps? Or no idea at all?
Good games last night. After getting “taken for a ride” a few times I decided I need a new team. I’m thinking about a wolvie/storm/Spencer team.
Sweet games last night guys, I had a lot of fun. It sucks I had to leave so early but it was cool meeting new people and fighting them offline. First time coming out there, and I learned plenty of new things. I’m definitely going to be at the Cary Street Cafe on Thursday. See you guys then!
Your team isn’t bad at all actually (it’s mike ross’s team), I just think you need to change some stuff up. For one you should probably run the order Storm/Sent/Hulk. Or some fashion that allows a DHC from Storm to Sent.
Two, you need to work on some longer combos with storm that build more meter. Her Jump loops and Lightning attack loops are pretty easy. That way you can almost always get to two meters so you can elemental rage-> Hyper sentinel force for a dead character.
Three, easy on the armor moves. At least back them up w/ an assist like Typhoon or something. People are just jumping in, blocking the armor move, and punishing. You need to mix it up and air throw that shit. Both Hulk’s and Sentinel’s airthrows are godlike.
Four, with sentinel, fly cancel spit and low B for increased mobility.
That’s all for now. Keep at it.
Thanks for the tips. I think I did my self a disservice playing so many ranked matches right away. Not playing the same person more than once or twice let me get away with some bad habits. I’m working on meter building and advanced guarding block strings more often now. Me and Colin have been leveling up and he’s been showing me a lot. I still think I’m either going to replace storm with Wolvie or make a B team with him and spencer. Also drones! And I’ve been working on the hulks air throw but the timing is hard on a sj.
I appreciate all the advice on here, this is the first game I’ve actually gotten into enough to be decent at, and it’s awesome to have people around to battle and learn from.
I’m proposing a ban on the term “leveling up”. I say it too but it sounds so damn corny haha.
for the love of GOD why is MvC so HAAARRDDD? cries in corner
OK I want to learn this game, PSN guys add me to your friends list! I might stop by tomorrow.
When I tried out Shuma yesterday, he instantly earned a spot on my team. He is so goddamn fun. I just love the rushdown tricks he has.
I’m running Dante and Shuma with their beam assists, but I’m kind of stuck on a third. So many characters look fun. I’m taking a look at Chris and Taskmaster as they seem like they’d benefit a lot from the space control the other two assists offer, but some ideas would be nice.
Also, hopefully I can go hang out and play some games with y’all sometime. I’ve just been so busy with school and band stuff as of late, plus I’m kind of stuck at home often because I can’t drive and don’t have a ride most of the time. D:
