Tennessee: Home of Vowing to Never Go 4-40 Again, Noooo Siiiiiirrrrrr!

well who won?

If anybody is still thinking about getting BlazBlue: Continuum Shift but is still on the ropes, Challenge mode will straight up teach you everything from pokes to BnBs to advanced when-will-I-fucking-use-this combos, much like Street Fighter 4’s character trials. It’s actually closely modeled after SFIV’s challenge mode, but a little more comprehensive: you can watch the computer complete the challenge as a demo to see how it works, you can have it show you the names of attacks or the raw button inputs, you can reset into the optimal position on the fly, and you can hop from whichever challenges you want. I’m on Bang’s 4th set of challenges now and they’re kind of ridiculous…but they let you see new combos you might have missed and let you get vital practice with ones you want to learn and keep in your bag of tricks.

So yeah, if anybody’s not sure how to even play the game but wants to get in on the action anyways, I think it’s been mentioned in the thread already, but the game will teach you the ins and outs of the game if you stick with Challenges enough.

Speaking of challenges, one of Bang’s BnBs links two strong hits, one medium hit, a nasty wallbounce, AND a super. Top tier baby booyah

Gg Everyone,

I like how Ex Guacamole catches Shin shoryuken on its startup,or anything else that goes into the air lol…

Jason- Elfs 2nd Ultra beats out Ryus 2nd ultra, even if i activate mine first. :amazed:

I plowed through Tager’s challenges and made it all the way to Hazama’s #10. Take a look at that garbage and tell me the japanese care about having better things to do.

I’ll post the videos from tonight up as soon as I get home from my friend’s house tonight.

GGs @ Hasting… It’s not looking goof for you SF players lol once I get the hang of this game it’s OV!

Squab- Nice MM 3-1. and I think i heard you say you want a rematch FT5? If so that’s 20$ k? Very good Cody and yes it’s better than Bishops’ speaking of him… This slaw was going for you in our MM? Wth… Do I really kick it that bad Bishop you have to go for the other person?

Bishop- I challenge you to a FT5 20$!

Sev and Lycan- How much is our MM?

Woot- We will MM @ ARK

Cyclus- FT3 10$

Jacob- Til next time I’ll be solid and you will lose. lol

Jan- Hit me up about that trip.

Quick results from tonight:

Cylus beasts Memphis

Squab beasts GDBELL

I beast Shin_Blade

Shin_blade beasts squab.

Lycan also clutches out squab.

I decided to try sf4 again online last and try Dictator vs Dictator;

Man Bison is so stupid… this fool can do stuff afther Roundhouse…

its also possible to Stomp after focus…

What other nonsense does he have? :looney:

Oh shit what a turn out for a fight night. First off a big thank you to everyone who brought a set up

Cylus: Nice job running the gauntlet tonight. I think you got off a total of 10 F3s and went 3-0 in all of em.

Chit: Basically doing what Cylus did but on a different station. Very nice and thank you for being willing to go through that many games back to back

GDBell: All that Dudley talk and I dont think you used him once against Squabb’s Cody. Thanks for coming out and just playing though. My suggestion you need to pick a main and just work on that character. Hope to see you next week.

Woot: Nice recording set up thanks for that. I believe we got Squab v Shin, Squab v GD and You vs Shin. I hope they let you into Hughey’s. youngin

Fly Mike: You cant hide it anymore. We all saw you get hype over SF matches. Having a good time and shit smiling ear to ear and getting tense in some of those close matches. Enough hating you play top tier now. And next week I say you MM O in Tek and SF and show that foo whats good

Jan: Good to see you, it was a nice surprise since I thought you were taking a break. See its too fun to stay away. GGs vs both Mike and Abe. Looked like some of those matches were close that you pulled out

Plutonium: Man it sucks your going back to Knoxville but school comes first…and really no one wants to play VF come on now :wink:

Squab: Nice job in your F5 with GDbell and GGs versus Shin even though you didn’t pull it out.

Ruckus: way to rock that Nazi fighter in the corner. I have yet to play it but people say its pretty good

Shin: Nice play man you def got better after playing Jacob. Hate to tell you but actually playing/practicing this game makes you a SF player. As for our MM I think last you said was $20.00 which is cool with me. We can run it next week if you like. Since I didn’t get to play a single game last night someone else is running the RR next week.

Sorry if I missed anybody I got little sleep. Anyway part 2 of the rankings continues next Wed same time and place.

First I want to apologize for running right out after we were putting away set ups. I wanted to stay and talk for a moment but my phone had died while a million people were attempting to get ahold of me. Top of the list was my girlfriend who was likely to cuss me out if I didn’t make it home before midnight ET so please excuse that.

Second, DAMN YOU SEV! I played 8 people in a row and won them all (something 24-4 overall, I think) but I was dog tired. It was already a long day and I literally was five minutes from having bought a new 2010 Honda Civic. I was not in the mode yet damn jerk :lol: . GGs to everyone I played.

I can’t remember who uses Vega but he easily could’ve taken that game from me - super solid.

Lycan: You like that wakeup Honda U2. I know you do.

Plutonium: Stop trying to anticipate EVERY SECOND OF THE ROUND and punish when you can. You got Rose! There were moments I couldn’t even move because you were spacing properly and using her beastly pokes. Don’t panic on wakeup. You are so close to destroying a lot of people. Be patient.

Gdbell: I think Matt recorded it. Be cautious of tick throws and cross ups on wake up. That’s mainly what got you killed.

I want to say more but I can’t barely think. Oh yeah that’s right: I have to visit my girl in Knox so I can’t make the Arkansas tournament. I’ll definitively be able make other stuff on a more consistent basis but it will be after this week.

Jason: I’d really like to participate in ranking battles, but I will be out of town that weekend. What will be the mechanism for people to participate after the fact?

Gdbell: I think Matt recorded it. Be cautious of tick throws and cross ups on wake up. That’s mainly what got you killed.

I got it on my cell phone and I’ll attach the video to my Flikr account tonight.

Shawn - Are you familiar with this OStatus | people on different networks following each other ?

No, but that’s an interesting concept that I can get behind. I’m going to look into it. Thanks.

Edit: I don’t like how it’s a loose spec dependent on 4 technologies. I’m not sure that it’s an elegant enough solution to ever catch on. I’ll keep my eyes on it.

First and foremost, thanks to Sev for helping and getting this RR ranking going… appreciate it dude!

@Cylus: GGs man… Was a fun match as always… and nice job beasting the community…

@Shin: Good match man… I really really really really wish I didn’t let you just jump in ALLLLLLL day, but that’s how it goes… and yes, next time FT5… Bishop knows what’s up, he has no choice but to root for the white tee…

@O: Beer match!.. Awesome ranked match man… 3-2 to pixel health…

@GDbell: …in muh white tee… GG…

@w00t: Thanks for bringing the recording equip!

Ugh, so sloppy and execution FAIL… guess I know what I need to work on…

Cale: You would have to publicly challenge the lowest spot in a first to 5 and they have to accept/play within a week or they forfeit the spot. I am going to try and have a permanent top 10 thread here with results of when rankings change week by week (like the NCAA tournament) for the area. It’s a lot more fun seeing the top 10 metamorphosis over the weeks…

If anyone has any other questions it is best to contact me on AIM as I will not be checking this thread much…

Alex is at Game Galaxy playing SF and looks to have improved so it anyone wants to play…he needs someone to battle with…

Cylus: You come out of hibernation more than I do! =P

I’ll be in the same boat. Basically we’ll start at the bottom and have to challenge whoever is in 10th place.

Good God. Yeah, Bang’s #10 is a thirty second FRKZ juggle with like six mixups, three wallbounces, two grabs and the kitchen sink. What the hell.

It’s $40 next time. It’s gonna double each time you lose.
