TENNESSEE THREAD : HOME of THE ANGRY OLD MEN and PO' FOLKS

LOL, those are your teammates buddy…

boom cube, i’ll be up there tom prolly at 10 gonna try to put in a long day of grinding. jason will you be there tom?

I probably won’t be there tomorrow as it’s my court date to finalize my daughter’s adoption. I should be there Wednesday.

Scott, I am there open to close tomorrow.

The arcade closes at 6pm Wednesday because I have to be somewhere, but tomorrow normal hours.

I can’t pick up my paycheck until around 2, but I’ll be up there right after that then.

Also, ggs to Shawn for having a real fucking life and still being a demon with Sim. Congrats, dude.

Hey… My junk does this too, but you didn’t give it props =(

Hey has anyone heard anything about an upcoming tournament in Chattanooga? It seems like I read something on the boards a few days ago and now I can’t remember what it was or where I read it. :stuck_out_tongue:

There ya go, good sir.

kodee…I hate your C.Viper.

There ur propz…

Seriously though, your C.Viper has come a long way and now you kick my ass…

Oh yeah I need to send you my shadaloo stick for dual mod now. I don’t plan on being in any more tournaments anytime soon.

Anyone planning at being at either GG locations saturday? I might just try to take advantage of my new work schedule :D.
I am going to try to attend all the tournaments that will be held at the arcade, and really try to level up my game.
Any advice you might have to help my game during casuals, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

Do it. Bringy bringy. ASAP.

Right now my joystick to-do list looks like:

  1. Jason’s Korean stick fix
  2. Jason’s American stuff
  3. Richard’s T5 stick mod
  4. Dual-mod Cale’s SE
  5. Something I’m probably forgetting cuz everyone and their mom has asked me about it recently

I’ll put you in between #1 and #2 if you get it to me soon. As I reported to many, I should be able to do some side work like this after KiT finishes, and now it has. So gimme gimme.

Arson - you see this vid yet? [media=youtube]TK3MAOZNafo&feature=player_embedded[/media]

Shawn - hope the court date goes well…

Kodee - Do you put a toggle switch on the SE’s when you dual mod? what’s your price? If I can get the stick to you can you put it on the list?

Only event attendees get stick work done (no homo)

good luck shawn!

jason i’ll be there at 10ish, i’m about to get ready and head out. GET HYPE FOR OLD MAN CASUALS @_@

hopefully my sagat is going to be up to snuff today, i’ve been working hard on it since friday and watching tons of videos.

lolpenguinlol: i should be at gg in antioch this sat as well as most of the other regulars it seems sat is a good day.

boom cube: see ya then man, look forward to more matches.

Oh…wasnt paying attention… :coffee:

Yeah I saw it. It honestly isn’t that impressive. Most decent Akuma players can do the loop. The most impressive part is just linking the low forward into fireball after the loop. But yeah, with enough patience and good plinking anyone could do that. You should watch the combo video for Akuma that came out a while back, much more interesting, impressive stuff. It is on eventhubs somewhere I believe.

Hmm, it looks like I’m a bit late with the reminder this week, but nevertheless , we will press on.

If you are in the Cordova/Bartlett/Wolfchase area in Memphis I’m hosting an open freeplay session for SF4, Wednesday night, at Powerplay Videogames, from 7:00-9:00 PM.

We’ll be on 360, and bringing your own controller or stick is recommended. However, I will provide a Fightpad and classic controller for public use. If you play on PS3, and you are willing to bring your setup, please do. I’ll have to ask permission to get a second setup going, but the venue had no problem with it last time.

The venue is located at 841 N. Germantown Pkwy in Cordova, beside the Outdoors, Inc.

Good sportsmanship is expected, and please keep the salt to a minimum, as we are going to be in a public area. Format will be announced on-site, and will depend on the number of players who attend.

If you have any questions, you can email me at sf4memphis@gmail.com, or check my blog at http://grumble-and-mutter.blogspot.com/. You can also reply to me here, and I’ll do my best to answer promptly. Thanks for your interest, and I hope to see some of you there tomorrow night! Thank you.

DISCLAIMER: I am not employed by PowerPlay, Nor do I have any other affiliation with them. I’m simply working with them as they were willing to provide a venue for the event, and I’m trying to get more community events going.

Scott is here now, so people come and PLAY

Lolpenguinlol, ill be up at gg (hh) saturday. I’m not that good but I’m trying to get better as well. In the meantime I finally renewed my xbl tag so if anyone wants to add me feel free.

This shit is garbage.

  1. Far st.HK has more start up
  2. st.LP can no longer link into far st.HK
  3. Fireball->FADC->far st.HK to stand up opponent only works on large hitbox characters
  4. Ultra II is call Demon Armageddon
  5. Command is up,up,3K
  6. Completely whiffs on crouching opponents
  7. Cannot be combo’d into from SRK->FADC
  8. Cannot be combo’d into from LK tatsu
  9. Cannot be combo’d into from deep jump-in attack
  10. Cannot be combo’d into from EX fireball->FADC
  11. Cannot be used as AA
  12. Looks really stupid

Okay, so it looks like Demon Armageddon is going to be fucking pointless and useless because demon is just so good. That isn’t what bothers me. More start up frames on st.HK? That is fucking dumb. I can understand taking out the loop, which he only needed against Sagat in the first place. That will either just be a bad match now, or Sagat will be nerfed enough that it will be even.

Fixing it this way is going to hurt his ground game. He really needs it against certain characters. His ground game really isn’t very good, like people make it out to be. st.HK can be ducked and punished badly by most of the cast already and his sweep is fast and catches people often, but if you use it as a poke( like I do) too much, you can be counter swept, eat a super, etc. I’m sure he’ll still be very good, that’s just one of the main things I was afraid of being changed.

Obviously I wouldn’t say this is 100% accurate, but I don’t get why they would even change Akuma in the slightest. He, among a couple other characters are about as perfectly balanced as you can get.

At least you can’t combo into Demon Armageddon, that part I’m sure is true. The people that have played the game probably tried to combo into that first thing. That would have made Akuma on Sagat’s level, most likely.
