I think there’s no ranbat this week

Yea there is a bye for a while actually.


I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.766377,-122.451268

Actually, unfortunately really, we don’t have another ranbat till the 6th of November. :frowning: Sorry. You should still swing through though! Everything is on arcade cabs, you don’t need a stick!

There’s a ranbat on the 30th for old geezer games.

I like how the person younger than me over there, yes, that guy over there ^ plays said " Old Geezer" games and has featured training videos. Maybe you’ve heard of them! “Demoninja’s Fast Five: Learning Sagat!” or “Demoninja Quick Win, 2 minute Seminar: Playing Cammy like a pro!” are just a few of his many critically acclaimed contributions to the Fighting Game Community.

lol He is just joking, no need to get that serious.

Yo, Demoninja vs Reiki, FT5. SETTLE THE SCORE!!!

Old geezer games> New shitty games with shitty comeback mechanics

Ya’ll should have an exhibition set GodsGarden style to see who is the rustiest retired player in NorCal, aka the biggest 2DFraud. Call it FraudsGarden. And it will be a CvS2 match. FT-whoever-falls-asleep-first-thisshittakestoolong.

v_v It was a joke. Demoninja makes that joke himself ALL the time. Geez, like -I- would go out of my way to troll someone to be mean

I think HD-mode is a comeback mechanic!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

You can’t guard cancel HD mode though like you can do it in MvC3. It’s like a Burst in GG that also subsequently acts as rage in Tekken.

I heard in console activating HD is gonna give you some frames of invincibility :looney:

If that’s the case, it’s not that much different than giving everyone a universal EX Lay spin from Kula.

If it’s first frame I’m going to LOL at wakeup HD activations to escape pressure.

I don’t play but I watch you guys play when im on AE. Would someone mind explaining HD and how it works? I’d love to know what I’m watching lol but I’m guessing HD is when they get that glow and start whooping ass?

Cabs… runs till 5 maybe a little later.

you activate it by pressing B + C at the same time. once in this mode you can cancel certain specials into others for a limited amount of time while the Drive Bar depletes. you can activate and combo off of it from normal attacks but not specials.

its kind of like each character has a custom combo / genei jin even though there is a lot to it.

Just adding onto haunts explanation.
If you’ve played CvS2, it’s a little like A-groove with a specific limitation: You can’t cancel a move with the same move. Like A-groove, it depletes as you do cancels and depletes entirely if you do a Max Cancel or a Neomax (Max Cancels are a Desperation move into your Neomax which is similar to doing a super into an ultra in SSFIV terminology). Unlike A-groove, you can only activate it when your green bar called your Hyperdrive meter bar is full.

While in the mode, the bar goes down at a rate of about 1% per second. Everytime you cancel a move, it goes down 10% which limits the amount of cancels you do. Damage continues to prorate like any other combo, but DMs have a 50% proration and NMs have about the same so ending your combo with a DM after a long combo insures big damage.During activation, the lag time of your last move is nulled When you activate, it will autodash if you don’t press any buttons.

A lot of your move properties change as well. Far moves can be special cancelled or used to HD activate which for some characters can allow them to easily activate and lay in a big combo.

This changes a bit in the console as while in HD mode you can do your Neomax (Which usually costs 3 stock bars, the orange one), with two stock bars. This means you’re able to do a lot of damage with HD mode without long attack strings.

Yes I did play CvS2 so I think I understand now…Pseudo custom combo with specific rules. Thanks for the info!

Haha. I like how my game is used to explain other games, but no one plays it anymore. I hope I’m proven wrong next Sunday. =)
