if you really want it to be epic do ft 60 since the game cost 60 it will be like a dollar a game.
And at that many matches whoever wins is truly the better player.
where u been at chris i thought u said you were going to hit me up, but if its the lag on the tv then disreguard this post its understandable.
Nah dawg just someone had mentioned 25 is long, but I agree it’s supposed to be epic. 25 it is! And you best make sure you got a legit stick to play on I don’t want to have my victory lessened by some lame “Wellllll I couldn’t get half circles” complaints! No excuses just straight manning up an playing son! If I lose all you gonna hear from me is “ya got me”.
I feel like logan may say more words, possibly some expletives thrown in the mix.
Free from now till 11 pm if anyone wants to play somethin’. Can someone tell me how terrible it is that I am happy I am unemployed because now I can go to the first marvel 3 FTTTTT? 
Okay this sounds hella stupid but did anyone see this WWE All Stars game?

Gotta see this Andre the Giant chain combo into ground bounce throw into backbreaker suplex
Hadn’t forgotten you buddy. You’re right on my list. Had to settle in and figure out the workload. Ill be swinging through starting next week but I am gonna need you to do me a favor and bring down that SD for me. I hate playing on HD regardless nowadays. Even the ASUS/ACER monitors feel weird 
Oil00 - Yeah Im definitely fine with that. I personally prefer 1v1s versus large sessions so anytime you’ve got some time, just hit me up and we’ll work something out. And no, I stopped using crouch tech OS a long time ago, but unfortunately, that gets me blown up with low attacks in various situations since you have to stand to throw (Chris/Mike G get me all of the time with it). Normally I worked this out by simply specializing on not letting my opponent in and developing my inside game to keep me just out of their throw range, but that can only get so far and is prone to exploitation, and has the unfortunate side effect of making your throws somewhat predictable because you’re never truly in throw range.
And yeah, you can link c.LK in c.LP. I’ve been really working on that as of late so that I can slowly start implementing crouch tech OS in both my defense and offense the same way Chris does with his.
Cool man, I’ll be in gville this weekend but def next week, and I’m still iffy on the Ocala tourney, we’ll see. I’ve also heard of people OS’ing with throw+c.mk, which could lead for same nasty combos if you can hit confirm into c.mp xx special (or loops), but honestly I have not tried it to know if its practical.
I would have never thought of that. Im honestly clueless on developing op. selects - I realize that it takes a significant amount of the guess work out of most of the situations that one can be put in, but its never been too much of a concern because… its rare that people are in my Rog’s face to the point where sufficient blocking, patience, observation and c.lp aren’t adequate deterents. Ron and Chris have been putting me on notice to some of my deficiencies, though, so its time to get to work on that.
Speaking of Ocala, yeah, its guaranteed that Mike J and I will be there. Event starts at 2 but I don’t foresee it being an all-day affair by any means. I’m hoping we’ll be done by 6 or so I can get the hell outta there and go watch the rest of Naruto and play some Alpha.
Ordering my Cables next Friday. You guys need any?
Let me know what systems if you do…
Got my hands on an Anniversary Edition stick so I’m going to be making a big order soon. Going to throw some good Happ/iL parts in there and try to move my TE PCB there along with a ChimpSMD. Not sure if I’m going to use a Neutrik USB or RJ-45, though.
Fixed. I will have a stick up and running. No worries.
Thats cool man. I loved my Anniversary Stick, but stopped using it all together when I started playing my TE’s…
I have a Happ Wrench if you need it, it really does help. You should be able to move everything with no problem. The stick has more than enough room for everything inside that case.
My Import copy of Vamp Savior came in… I forgot how much fun this game is. Playing it on Saturn is almost perfect too…
I’m going to be running an RJ-45 Neutrik on my PS3/MC TE. If you need help, let me know… I’ll be down to order Parts from Lizard Lick Next Friday if you need to…
I’m almost positive I’m going tomorrow. See you there.
if i can chime it here. balrog doesnt have a ton of op selects to begin with. The only ones you really need are ones to stop backdashes or to blow up other peoples crouch techs. But like i said earlier he is no ryu when it comes to op selects. Now on using crouching mk why? Even if it is possible the damage from crouch tech with it would only be a few points higher than using clk. You get all of the same combo’s off of both moves, and the most important thing with balrog isnt really damage in the first place. Its pressure and positioning. All you really want to be able to do off the crouch tech is to hit confirm into a knockdown.
But what chris said is pretty much right. In most of balrog match ups if you are being pressure to a point where being thrown is a problem then you have a bigger problem than being able to crouch tech. Thats like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound you will not stop the bleeding. there should be few times where people invade you space even in his trouble match ups he can still slow the pace down to a stalemate.
Pretty much this, really. As a Rog player, there should rarely ever be a time when someone is in your face to where crouch tech is a viable. Its good to know, and with some matches and situations, you can’t avoid it (specifically, if you’re trying to press the attack and they guess right on what you are intending to do), but really… unless the Rog dictates it, Rog vs. any character should rarely, if ever, be an up close brawl.
In other news:
I know one of the few concerns that I’m having in my defense is the high/low mix up that I’m just giving to the opponent to exploit by standing for an expected throw instead of learning the timing to tech while crouching. I get blown up with lows a lot than I’d like to. Teching throws (with Balrog - I can do it better with other characters) in general is an issue for me too, because for a considerable amount of time, Ive seen throws moreso as weakness used by the opponent to be blown up rather than as a strength to be used by me to mix up.
Anyone got anything going on Tomorrow?
I’m down to host, Really want to get some games in…
Hey Tally, finally took the time to post 
This is Mike J that Chris brings up every now and then. Going to roll back and say it’s been great meeting all of you . I really appreciate al of the advice, help, and bodying to help stifle bad habits. GG’s to all and hope for many GG’s in the future.
Adam: I might be getting paid next Friday, not sure. Should that happen I’ll throw down for some parts. (I’m assuming Evawingzero is Adam)
Sounds good. If you need to we can put the order on hold, I figured we could all chip in and save on Shipping.
I know a lot of us need parts…
Do you have a stick with pink and white custom art?
I’m curtis, i was playing honda and wearing jeans and a grey hoodie
I’m not sure who I met that was actually from tallahassee other than mike
I’m not getting paid until the 31st, and may not have the disposable cash for parts ordering until the 3rd. I am DEFINITELY ordering the second I get my student aid, though. Gotta’ get all of these parts and stuff before the 15th.
what are these parts you guys are talking about?
Adam/Evawingzero is getting some console cables to connect to his modded sticks, I think MikeJ/MrFTW needs buttons, and I need a full set of Happ buttons and a stick, plus a ChimpSMD and a lot of miscellaneous wiring stuff. We’re trying to put together a big order from Lizard Lick to save on shipping, but I’m not sure if Adam and Mike can wait on me to get my cash flow.
