Tampa Bay Area Thread: SRK Illuminati out to get us

i was looking up the startup on yang’s ultras and got this

0+9

someone tell me why that 0+ is there, please

Yeah it means you have ZERO chance to survive…

make your time

edit: … but I’m pretty sure the first number is the animation, and the second is when it actually comes out.

I’m sticking with my Flowchart Ken. :smiley:

Man I’ve been calling people out to see if they could play today. You’re the one I’m trying to get to play mostly. If you’re free, man, let’s play! Made the stupid mistake of joining the MvC3 tourney, knowing that I’m just a pot monster. Play me, my good man. Play me.

I’ll be online all day today, I don’t have a ride because goddamn Jon has to be gay with his girlfriend…

I’m down for either MvC3 or AE, sitting in the lab atm, Yanging it up.

edit: I also signed up for MvC3 while being completely free in the game, I just know I’m gonna win a few matches because of gimmicks and that’s okay with me.

my xbl name is: psydot

You don’t get it, man. I’ll come to you where ever you are, although I thought you were Jon. It doesn’t matter, though. Would you host a grind? I can play probably be there around 1 and play til 4ish

I can’t at my house, we normally play at Jons with his big ass TV. It would’ve worked out had we gone to Peter G’s like we normally do on tuesday, but I’m sure everyone is on that AE grind atm, I know I am.

Yeah no worries. I’ll be on that, too, once everyone gets outta work. I need to grind at both, though. Good thing I have the week off of work. Still…I’M FUCKING READY TO GRIND, SON!

Ok, Just called the Wyndham Orlando and found out my reservations were for another guy Bob Naval I was freaking thinking they lost mine, lol everything is in order now. We can check in early on Thursday anytime after 10am as long as a room is available. I plan to go home tonight and get AE up and running on my Xbox and practice the Giefster.

CEO Suite 7/9 thurs-checkout sun morning 7/12
Rooming with me: Jon & Marc(payed in full) Charles & friend, Prince, Xnobodyx, possibly Albert
These are the people planning on staying at my room, it will be packed like mexicans but we will have plenty of floor space hopefully since its a suite, Me and Charles plan on bringing our setups but we will probably need one extra setup for marvel or mk9. Anybody from the Florida scene is welcome to come thru and lvl up with us this weekend its gonna be crazy.
BYOB & BYOG $60 the whole weekend 20$ a night.

I’ll have my own room but I wouldn’t mind stopping by to play some games with you guys.

Shop wise Wednesdays and Fridays are the only firm days… everything else is pretty much open, but that leaves me with Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday for the second game night… once August rolls around I have a feeling that the shop will be open on Mondays, but then i’m still having back to back game nights at the store or back to back with the Sarasota get together.

for me I’m putting 45+ at my day job and really don’t want to spend every weekend at the comic shop from open to close for a Saturday/Sunday game night. Tuesday make my life a little easier because it will break things up nicely for me, my professorial and my life social life…

but again everything is tentative… keep the feedback and suggestions coming.

anyone with a SUV, a VAN or a truck heading up Thursday or Friday morning want to make $25 and haul a cab up to Orlando for me, let me know.

tuesdays are good for myself and sir sosa. Its just like the old pnt days :3

This semester tuesdays are good for me

tuesdays are my days off.

I was at a Bob’s playing for a couple hours. So since I have to wait for it to download from Playstation Store, I’ll share what I’ve noticed for now.

Bob’s pretty amped about the changes to Gief so far. Combos that end with Ex Green Hand make you stutter at first, before getting used to the idea that it doesn’t knock down anymore. Seems to be even harder to get Gief off of you because of this. Ex Green Hand to jab stops you from jumping. Jab SPD range is about where the characters start at the beginning of a match, maybe just a bit shorter, which is ridiculous! Poking at him just to keep him away even seems like a bad idea when pokes increase the range of an SPD. Can’t wait to see him grab one of Vega’s fierce pokes. No doubt the range is going to be stupid far.

Fucked around with E Ryu for a bit. You have to have your combos and hit confirms down pat. Negative edge can really fuck you over, a la Seth or Akuma or Ibuki. Already been well stated that the dude hits pretty hard, and can’t take a hit for shit.

I’m having a hard time getting used to Cammy for now. I need to sit in the lab and relearn some of the simplest things, a la what to do after a crumple. I keep trying to TKCS, but just end up flying over the opponent with a jump short. She feels like a completely different character. Like they could’ve made this character her twin and kept her the way she was, and it would’ve been another Yun/Yang scenario. Her links feel unfamiliar, although they do feel good. Standing strong and crouching strong were already good, now better, faster, more active it seems. Off of crouching jab **and **crouching strong, you can get any punch button, standing or crouching, whether it’s the far or close animation. You can also get crouching toward from it. Far standing fierce is too fickle. Just inside the range, you can cancel into specials. A slight move and it’s outside, and you can’t cancel. Seems like they changed Spiral Arrow back to the way it was in Vanilla, or even worse. Roundhouse SA hardly ever hits twice in any of Cammy’s hit confirms. Best to use toward. Plus, when you have the opponent cornered, using roundhouse SA will always put you in the corner instead. So far here are combos I find most useful for her, aside from the Sako combo, which still works against the characters it used to work against.

When hit confirming off of a crouching short, seemingly best to either do:

cr short, cr jab, cr strong xx toward spiral arrow,

or

cr short, cr jab, cr short xx roundhouse spiral arrow

My preference is the first because it allows you to be able to plink to never miss the link

My favorite off of a crumple is:

cr strong, cr fierce, cr toward xx toward SA

This has seemed to work against bigger characters, although I’ve only tried Rufus:

j fierce, cr strong, cr strong, cr toward, toward SA

You can’t use short SA in any of these aside from the Vanilla day 1 hit confirm. It doesn’t extend far enough to hit.

To me it seems like they made AE a rushdown game, but took most of the rushdown away from Cammy. It’s gonna be nearly impossible to stay in on an experienced player now. Gone are the days where you could lock a player down with TKCS, or sit back and build meter with it. She can still use it to avoid DPs, and still time it to be a decent wakeup tool at times. But basically blocking her correctly on wakeup can do wonders at getting her off of her, and probably keeping her off of you. But, that’s just what I believe at this point, less than 24 hours after the game came out.

Back to the lab…

Well whatever day it is,ill go out =]

ALSO BOB! Kevin told me like 2 days ago that he IS NOT coming to CEO…no little mr.hood :{

Count me in on that room Bob, I work Thursday but I will be leaving Tampa around 3-4 ish. Hopefully i’ll have my newegg delivery by then.

Edit: Cheapocrespo told me he’ll be there so +1 to the wolfpack.

I don’t think my tiny XB could fit all of us plus a cab :frowning:

I’m a sad panda…

Ok Will you got Carey’s spot then since hes rooming with Alex.

Wolfpack get ready!

Oh yeah I like Gief’s Changes…

Yo truehood isn’t going? Fuck that, I’m cancelling my trip… We’ll definitely smoke a B in his honor (Like we weren’t going to anyway).

SUPER hyped for CEO. I’m probably gonna try with Yang first then switch when I get raped by one of the top 5, gonna bust out some new shit in Marvel and probably get raped for it too.
