ah man what the frick was that match from? i can point out like 15 things i did that were bad too lol
I dont know if your talking about the ‘new’ people in town, but im down basically every afternoon to play as well.
About to boot up updated xT lets try this Lei/Lars out 
cant see damage totals even on a 32" sdtv ftl…need my damn monitor to get here!!
Maaaaaan I can’t wait to play on that Snoop Lion stage in TTT2
is that who your going to play Mike J akihiko and teddy?
Nah, man. It was a gif of Teddy coming out of the bear suit and pulling Akihiko in.
It was hilarious, but it’s not animating 
And now SRK’s being a pain and won’t let me change it.
I think I will require weekly Ted mirrors between James and I. You down James?
Pretty much this.
I realized early on that if I were going to get what’s happening, I needed to play everyday just to grind it out and develop some fundamental way to play that suited me. I may talk like I don’t play it often, but the truth of the matter is that Im in practice mode almost everyday just practicing basics.Then that certainly doesn’t count how many matches I’d sit there and lose to (and trust me, if you compare me to anyone else, Im still very much on the light end… Im pretty sure almost all of the top guys here have done FT100s, 8+ hr crackout sessions, etc etc) whatever the hell was happening that I hadn’t seen or said “Fuck it. Its Marvel.” to. I know what you’re going through, and while Im certainly no Mike J, or Ron, Logan or James, I can tell you that the only way to get better is to keep playing, and just figure stuff out on the way. Ask questions. While “I don’t know. Its Marvel.” might have been the running joke in Vanilla for us scrubs, its pretty safe to say that most of us are past that, and can at least explain, in some way, what’s happening and how to stop it, deal with it, and/or most importantly, not get caught in it.
I don’t know if he remembers this, but I know what helped me the most was when I went to play Ron and he had three different teams that he had me play against all of varying difficulty, presumably for his own benefit to try them out on someone less skilled while helping me get my bases right by not beating me into complete submission from match 1. Now I know Mike doesn’t really do that, and I’m not good enough for it yet, but everyone else can. Maybe that’s a route to try. Emphasize on a particular skill to work on with each level and go hard at it: incoming mixups, position control, button choices, finding ways to not have to try and block everything (I know, its weird), etc. Pick something to improve and run with it for however long. Lastly, there’s always going to be some “Remember what game you’re playing.” moments - Marvel is like that. But understand that the better that you get, the more apt you’ll become at shutting it down to where such things occur with minimal frequency.
EDIT: Btw, you’re definitely getting better. Thats not the problem. But… so is everyone else that you play. Just got to remember that. That really doesn’t come into view until you get the opportunity to play people of different skill levels.
You guys are putting in a lot of time trying to convince someone who doesn’t want to play Marvel to play Marvel.
Except… he does wanna play. Dont let that nonsense fool you. This shit only happens when he gets his ass beat in a tournament or a money match in SF.
EDIT: to be fair, after getting royally effed up by Sky Viper, I even had the whim to go play SF more.
After some Lars pmode he feels like Adon/Yun/Yang all wrapped into one. Adons kick/Yun hit boxes and shoulder (no dive kick)/ Yang rekkas (only after shoulder) Weird to describe it but hes fun no less. Im sure theres other characters that are better suited for comparison but thats what it felt from day one.
If SF4 is the game Drew really wants to be good at I can’t blame him for dropping other games. Dude recently said he wanted to get on P4U like “we got on SC5”… don’t lump me into that mess dawg we played SC5 for a minute when I’m trying to level up P4U for reallllllllllll. In a the coming months I’m hoping my P4U game can help expand my marvel game and vice versa. Seeing some of these Yu shenanigans has me thinking straight up Marvel, Izanagi 5D is like a low assist with hella blockstun and another hit so you can get more lows/overheads in your blockstring lol.
Enough of the gay junk - anyone interested in seeing Total Recall this weekend? The new slew of movies coming out looks pretty effing entertaining (The Bourne Legacy, Totall Recall, The Hobbit, The Expendables 2)
Oh yeah, and for the first time in my life, I stepped on a scale and it read over 220. Too bad I know that’s going to down to 218ish in a week or so, but hell, just seeing it was fantastic. If you didn’t know, I’ve been trying to reach 220ish (35+ lbs of pure muscle gain) for over 3 years.
Maaaaan I heard the Hobbit is turning into THREE movies? The book is not that long. Fuck that whole trilogy. Not supporting that nonsense.
I would love to be 220 again. Who gotta go on a diet? this guy
<-------
started lifting weights again but focusing more on form than linear weight progression. christ I can feel squats more than I ever could at 160 than I did when I did ~200. ATG makes all the difference in the world
Logan: pretty sure you got my texts but to reiterate – if you gotta borrow your dad’s truck to get me that desk let me give you something for it!
GGs. To everyone tonight. Loving the deliciousness i saw out of everyone i played in marvel. Thanks for the props on the new team. Loving it just gotta get things just a little tighter and i should be good. xT pmode tomorrow. If anyone is interested on getting the game and want to try-before-buy. Hit me up on the cell. You can come anytime after 5pm and ill just play sc2 while you guys crack out on it.
yes both and way more hyped for bourne legacy. Although i need to see the next gen triple titties in this new recall movie right quick…yeaaaaa… i suppose i should see batman before this weekend too.
EDIT:
man im loving this dudes setup for checking frame data his damn self. Might look into getting something like that.
Been 2 damn days and amazon still hasnt shipped my shit. I guess super saver shipping is that herp derp. Think next time ill blow 20$ to get my shit in 2 days. -_____-
hey since the stream isn’t up anymore can you tell us what he was doing?
He just had a little recording setup and a program (of which there are tons) that let you advance a video frame by frame. Too much work. Easiest way to test frame data is just run a mirror match, have dummy do an attack then have both chars hold on up. Obviously not very precise but you can get a pretty good idea until someone else does the real stuff.
Chris are you riding with Jarv and I for storm?
congratz to chris putting on that much muscle is hard as balls so big ups. Now matt if nia doesnt drag me to the store this afternoon to get stuff to live on like food and crap i will hit u up for the pmode stuff.
Drew from the last time i saw u play marvel to seeing u this saturday i can say that u have improved a lot but like chris said i could see big improvements in chris turk and matt too. I didnt get to really see the mikes play but i can only believe that theyve improved as well.
its a wonderful thing to see the forums filled with actual fighting games discussions instead of people bitching about whose period is bloodier than the others.
Matt. If you catch Batman on Thursday, count me in. Ill go see that movie again in a heartbeat.
So this gun that Wesker has is better than I thought. Itd be cool as hell if he could fake the shot sequence.
