Springfield, MO - No, really, we play fighting games here!

Sounds like a pretty solid gameplan there. Shoot me an invite if you’re online sometime and I’ll play you a bit.

I have been using layout beta since it leaked and it has been useful for my Wolverine. Oh and WTF with all these people trying to pick up wolverine? Seriously…

Sang your team is Double D’s

Lately I’ve been thinking of using X-23 instead of storm. In terms of combo X-23 feels more natural to me than storm. However, without air dash I feel like I can’t get around very well. I tried hoping around and got smacked with hyper and projectiles. I’ll see how I do tonight with Storm on the team.

For what it’s worth, I discovered that I like Wolverine by accident. I heard about Justin raping a couple days after. lol

I managed to get used to the default controls. Well worth the hour of frustration that it took.

Let’s see - Wolverine does sick damage, is really fast, can pass through projectiles…and bottom line, he’s just really fun to play. Him and X-23 have the “I hit the button and they get cut instantly” feel to their combos. Wolvie has more life than X-23, and his combos are a bit easier, I think. He’s got fewer mixups, no insane command grab, and no good OTG xx Hyper combo, but I think Berserker Charge more than makes up for his downfalls.

Oh and he can 100% Sentinel with LMH M.Barrage Xfactor M.Barrage ad nauseum instant overhead with j.S or j.L with all other characters.

Good games to everyone.

Next week, I promise I have your number, Clint.

Dude, your whole team was solid…sick use of assists to prolong your Wesker combos. Tron was a nightmare when she hit me, but I think I can deal with her…but Phoenix man, wow. I’m going to have to figure out what is possible against her.

Great fights though, this game is the next level of hype.

When you switched to Deadpool, I was really confident that I had it. I was not expecting you to be so solid with so many characters. Doom is a disaster waiting to happen for me. You would not let things just go with him. It was a lot of fun playing against you at such a high level of play already, and that goes for everyone I was up against.

Next week, I’m going to be rocking that team even harder, so watch out.

Deadpool is super annoying, but he also can do some sick damage off his combos. After I left I decided he earned a permanent spot on my team, hehe. Chris didn’t really do me any favors, though. Doom is great because he can switch playstyles from rushdown to zoning at the drop of a hat.

There are too many good characters in this game, it’s really hard to focus on just 3. Can’t wait to see what you’ll pull out next monday.

Let’s see how I do next week with X-23 on my team instead of storm. Also, do we have a day on a second hookup?

I haven’t heard anything yet, I think Dennis is still getting info.

Btw, I should have updated ranking info up tonight, been busy these last few nights.

…And I realized last night that I left the laptop at Meta, lol. I’ll have to run by and see if they have it today.

…And I forgot while I was at work. Eh, at this point, I might as well leave it up there for next Monday and update everything then.

So who is going to Evo?
Sang
Torrey
???

I would like to split a room.

So far just us, but my plans still aren’t solid yet. I’m definitely down for splitting a room. I know Clint wants to go, but last I talked to him, he still wasn’t sure if he’d be able to. I’m definitely in if we can get at least 3 of us together to split a room. Considering the rooms are substantially cheaper this year anyway (the amount split between Clint and I last year is around the same as the total cost of the room this year), this should make things far more doable. If we plan for getting there the 28th and leaving on the 1st, the cost would be $416 (before taxes and any other fees) for the room according to the site. So if everyone shares a room, with 3-4, that’s be $139-$104 per person. And if you get airfare from Allegiant right now, it’s $160 or so each way on those days (after fees and such), so around $450 or so for the trip (excluding costs for entering the tourney, food, etc). Pretty reasonable.

Personally, I’d like to make some solid plans with everyone fairly soon, just to be sure I can get off work, get the rooms and flights booked, and have everything ready to go.

Hey guys, A.R.K. III (one of the largest fighting game tournaments in the South) is coming up on April 2nd at Conway Gaming Center in Conway, AR! We are expecting at least ~120 people at this tournament featuring games such as SSF4, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Arcana Heart 3, Blazblue: CS, Tekken 6, Melee, Brawl, Project: M, and more! We will have a recording station available for you to record whichever matches you deem necessary (just work it out with the station manager) as well as a stream station. If you have ANY questions, please post on here or on the official tournament thread where you can find more details about the event located at http://shoryuken.com/f7/r-k-iii-conway-ar-4-2-11-ssf4-mvc3-mk9-t6-bb-smash-more-261820/. Please try to make it and show your support not only for us, but for the Regional Street Fighter/Marvel community as a whole. Thanks guys!

I was thinking more like 3 nights Thursday Friday and Saturday and leave on Sunday I looked and it was 347 for the room.

Maybe we can see when some guys from KC are going and try and get a group rate airfare or something.

If you can find some good airfare for Sunday, I might be able to leave then. I just wouldn’t want to miss finals. I know last year finals ran well into Sunday night. All of us just wound up staying up and sleeping on the flight back in the morning.

And yeah, I’m up for seeing what the KC guys are doing, we hung out quite a bit last year anyway.

Alright folks, after much delay, I have our current MvC3 ranbat standings!

To get it all out of the way:

Week 1 Top 8:
1: Warden (Clint)
2: Alex
3: Josh
4: Sang
5: Masaki
5: Sala
7: R. Swain
7: DrunkNinja (Torrey)

And Week 2 Top 8:
1: Warden (Clint)
2: Alex
3: Sala
4: Sang
5: Zenkix (Aniel)
5: Josh
7: Tom
7: DrunkNinja (Torrey)

So that puts our current standings as such:

1: Warden (Clint) - 14pts
2: Alex - 10pts
3: Josh - 6pts
3: Sala - 6pts
3: Sang - 6pts
4: Masaki - 2pts
4: Zenkix (Aniel) - 2pts
4: DrunkNinja (Torrey) - 2pts
5: R. Swain - 1pt
5: Tom - 1pt

Lots of tied places, but that should even out soon.

Anyone have a 360 stick that I could borrow for a bit?

Warden, Can you help me out with the ROM loop sometime?
