Tennessee Thread - Arcade Edition and Turtle Nuts

[mattwoo]

Good games to the Hastings crew. It was fun reminiscing about the old Memphis arcades. And Battletoads.

Hey Jason, I know you’ve got the english voices on AE, but is there any way to get the character specific songs to play?

[DreamTR]

NeoBlood: Yes there is, but if I do that we are ALWAYS going to have character specific songs. I chose stage songs instead of character specific…I mean, you guys can vote on it, but there’s actually more variety the way we have it right now…

next week i’ll bring my modded wii with me for some old school fun like battletoads & double dragon.

GGs to you guys in AE and nice meeting you. I look forward to coming up again sometime.

[Reox8888]

How long are the GA cats staying? I don’t get off of work until 6 today.

To give you an idea if we come back in the near future the crew I was with arrived at 11/12ish A.M. and left at 8 P.M.

Good shit to all you Tennessee players that were at the spot with us yesterday. It was really laid back and fun and it was nice playing strong players I hadn’t played in the past. I regret only getting one game with Patrick’s Makoto and not playing JFord even once; next time that’s got to go down. Anyways, I had a blast and hope to see you guys again soon.

Gaaaaaawd I can’t wait for MvC3.

This got me excited:

#3 Was Roman Cancel/Speed Up/Health Regen (X-Factor) the most innovative thing the team could come up with for the series? In TvC no other game had air-tags but MvC just upgraded it. Were any ideas dropped that seemed too odd for the game?

The goal with MVC3 wasn’t to try and reinvent the wheel–MVC2 was a fantastic game that was a success from every perspective and still has an active fanbase after 10 years (probably less than 0.1% of games could say that). The expectation of “iterate on the established theme” is why we called it “MVC3” rather than creating some new name for a project that tried to do something totally new.

“Innovation” is good because it implies new ways to play, new possibilities, etc. The challenge is to make a good, or even a great game, that’s got a billion possibilities and a ton of fun. The innovations in MVC3 are in the characters, both the way they play individually, and how they function as teams. MVC2 was probably one of the craziest, most free games ever made, and MVC3 actually seems to have significantly MORE possibilities (which is almost scary). It may be the greatest fighting “sandbox” that’s ever been made.

ITG is my second best game… if I felt like commuting all the way to Hendersonville, entirely different squad for that here , they all meet out at Family Fun center on weekends

[ShawnMcCool]

GGs to CB and JL.

Not that I know anything about whatever list but Cammy’s matchups are completely different now that her dive kick was toned down and her HK Cannon Spike was nerfed for distance…I’ll take a look at the list…

EDIT, It’s super SF IV list… not Arcade Edition…it’s definitely way better than it used be, that’s for sure, but Fei Long top 2? LOL… .

Well can’t get better than that lol

BTW, are the voices configurable per-character? I vote Japanese Honda…

DOSUKOI!!!

It’s your fault.

Ok so I’m going to vent:

I’m about 100% on jab->hands in Training mode… can do it consistently on ground and from any jump-in. It’s been like this for some time.

I’m about 10% on jab->hands in actual matches… and it’s been like this for some time.

I got extremely frustrated with myself last night. I tried paying attention to the way my fingers felt during player matches… I know the way they are supposed to feel. My fingers just didn’t co-operate. It felt like my fingers were a lot stiffer.

So what is this tension? How do I get rid of it? I wasn’t nervous… I guess my hands just stiffen up in matches. It doesn’t matter for anything else, piano-ing seems the main casualty.

I got frustrated with myself because I couldn’t figure out how it would get any better. I can practice jab-hands in training mode more, but how do I address the hand-tension in actual matches? If I were new at this, I’d just tell myself it’d get better… but I’ve been playing arcade fighters for a long time and it doesn’t feel like it’s changing.

Any suggestions?

[ShawnMcCool]

I know what you’re talking about. When I was beginning to learn music and was playing with bands they talked about how I needed to observe my body for any signs of tension and just release them so that it wouldn’t interfere with getting in the ‘zone’ and throw off my intuition / timing. Does it make sense that you’d actually just go into matches (perhaps ranked or whatever) with the entire goal of finding relaxation.

Last night (when playing against Chris) I was like… so strangely comfortable and patient… it was great. I’d just block all day. I felt REALLY solid. Then when I played KrayzeeJL I was like, all over the place and he wasn’t having any of that. It was strange. But, there’s always tonight.

Yeah, I think I’ll try that. Been going into player matches just trying to land jab-hands, and failing. And my arm is all tense afterwards. Making me a little resentful, as I’ve always shied away from technical stuff in FGs, so it’s easy for me to just be like “OK FUCK THIS”. But I need to learn it.

I’ll start just focusing on tension in matches and trying to get rid of it with thoughts or booze.

Aw shit Haggar is in MvC3. Richard will be picking up the game for all of an extra day.

Phoenix is in too looking like Rogue with projectiles.
