Tennessee Thread- We Got Arcade Edition & Dem Ying Yang Twins ! Do It!

[Severin-X]

Jan: Best things are to eat and drink as much as you can. The fluids are good for flushing your body and the calories from food just help your system overall. Sadly there is no easy thing you can do to beat it. Sucks you caught it.

I hate apartment/house shopping. Are there really no 1br/1ba houses or duplexes in Southaven or Olive Branch? I don’t want a roommate, and I’d like to keep living in MS so my dad can visit if he likes. He kind of can’t leave the state right now without violating his probation. >.>

Seems like there isn’t right lol? If you did get a roommate, you might actually come out cheaper renting a house in Southaven. That’s what I did until my cuz moved to Houston. And you’ll be right next to Sev. As for Olive Branch, I don’t know. Marcus and Clark live out there. Keep searching man.

Hey guys…this isn’t Street Fighter related, but have any of you ever had Pneumonia? I’m fighting it right now and would love to hear some input on how to win. Right now I feel like the match up is 6-4 in Pneumonia’s favor, but maybe someone knows something I don’t besides take my medication, drinking lots of fluids and keep from staying in bed all day.

This shit really sucks. :-\

Damn bro. I had something similar before but I don’t think it was full-blown. Sounds like you already know the matchup though, people been fighting it for ages. Just turtle and patient. The only time you should leave bed and rushdown is to EX chicken soup or gatorade->meds->back in bed. Keep it simple. Hope you feel better.

GGs to everyone I’ve played on XBL this past weekend - Trippfan, TigerVonDoom, Chit, Joker, etc!!!

Yeah I dont think you are going to find too many 1br/1ba houses here man. Prior to the housing crash this area was growing and most of the new homes were all subdivision 3 bedroom floor plans. I am sure there are smaller houses but finding one to rent will be rough. While there are like 4 places for rent within like 5 blocks of my place. From what I know of Olive Branch its the same way there. Southaven does have cheap apartments that allow cats though.

Sucks to hear you got pneumonia (and right around Christmas makes it that much worse). I?ve battled through it once before ? it was about 20 years ago when I came down with a bout of bronchitis that turned into pneumonia. To say it sucked would be an understatement. Like everyone has recommended ? drink LOTS of fluid. And like Chris Rock said ? take Robotusin. That shit cures all.

[spleen]

Sooo… is there going to be more Marvel players beside me when 3 comes out? finally?..,or am I
Going to be the lone Marvel player once again. Suck s how nobody from Tenn entered besisdes me for the
The last 4 years. Lol

My Marvel 3 team still is She-Hulk/-/-. Then i’ll need someone with an overhead I can spam for mixups. And finally a cracker-crumb dry fuck for insurance. Not Ryu though. I’ll worry about assists in my final week(2nd) lol.

I think My people will be Skrull, dormammu, Doom, Wesker and Howard Duck (If he is in there)

Still no word on the Final Boss is… (crosses fingers for Beyonder or Phoenix)

[Boom_Cube]

I’ll be playing it Eugene. Taking Wesker/X-23/Felicia right now.

Also, dude, there’s an ITG 3 cabinet here in Murfreesboro that has the entire ITG Rebirth pack loaded. Plus a ton of other shit made for keyboard.

[chithappens]

ggs krazy.

Btw, who all from TN is planning on traveling to Nashville tomorrow?

[NeoBlood]

Probably me, was thinking about heading up today as well, but thats a big maybe.

[Reox8888]

Damn Tennessee just got AE and ITG3? Shit just got real!

[Lord_Jas]

Hey Jan the most effective way to turn the match-up on your favor is to combo with homemade chicken soup into ex orange juice fadc into lot’s more fluids and active movement,then reset the combo with meds and regular prayer. That shit turns the match in your favor 10/0. Keep yo head up man and just remember above all else, PRAY and BE POSITIVE.

[iQuick]

Probably me, was thinking about heading up today as well, but thats a big maybe.

As soon as I take my ass out of this bed I’ll probably be headed up that way. I’d say you could ride with me but I’ll be there for two days.

I don’t do roommates anymore, unless I can do them.

Seriously, the last three roommates I’ve had have tried to kill me in some fashion or have left me wanting to do the same to them. I refuse to have any more roommates unless I’m sleeping with them.

From what I know of Olive Branch its the same way there. Southaven does have cheap apartments that allow cats though.

I’ll have to go the apartment route, then. I just hate sharing walls with people, or even worse floors or ceilings. -_-

Seriously, living in a 1 br house has spoiled me. I now despise any kind of noise that I or my cats don’t make.

For anyone interested, AE impressions from some Something Awful bros at an arcade in Sydney, Austrailia:

Been playing with Smeg and all the Sydney guys. My impressions:

Fei Long

• st.LP is almost Boxer good. Safe pressure that links into other stuff, or chains into st.LK for a tight blockstring.
• EX rekkas feel incredibly safe. I think the first and second are completely safe on block, but I’d have to try them more to know for sure.
• HK CW isn’t even throw immune. Strike invincibility gone is fair, but throw invincibility being gone throws a spanner in all the already-bad grappler matchups. If Fei ends up top tier, I can see grapplers being his kryptonite.
• They’re the obvious buffs; everything else would be very subtle frame/hitbox changes. In other words, he plays the same in 99% of instances. Bad matchups being nerfed as well as the overall buffs will probably send him to the top tier. Charge characters and grapplers will still ruin him, though.

Guile

• Meter build has been blown up. It’s less than an Akuma fireball in Super, for some perspective.
• Less damage overall. Nothing about him has changed – it all just takes longer to do. In other words, Guile more or less got even more boring to watch.

Dee Jay

• Our resident Blanka/Guile player is switching to Dee Jay. Not sure if that says anything of note, but make of that what you like. He honestly thinks that Dee Jay is now Guile, but better.

Gen

• K stance ultra 2 is amazingly fast. I think it’ll be able to beat a lot of projectiles on reaction. Not the super fast ones like Guile’s, but others? Definitely. Much better.
• Target combos help with damage output and comboability. Especially st.HP xx st.MK. You can do that into hands, DP, etc. It feels much less ridiculous than the links that are currently in Super because the gulf between execution and damage has been made closer.
• Jump arcs feel weird again. I don’t know if they’ve changed them but they feel like they have. P stance jump feels like Adon’s jump, only much, much higher. K stance jump is quite floaty.
• Pretty much unchanged, so he still won’t be good, but at least he’s on the borderline of viability now.

Guy

• Terrible.
• Target combo still whiffs on crouchers. On hit.
• Flip throw nerf isn’t that noticeable, really.
• st.MK is faster, but still horrible.
• cr.LK is quite good, but still doesn’t chain. No additional advantage on hit, so it’s really no easier to use once you land it.
• Shoulders don’t seem significantly faster. Still a long way from what he had in Alpha.
• Two-hit overhead is nice, but it’s not a game-changer. It hits quite slowly; the person I played against backdashed out of it before the second hit. If nothing else, at least you won’t eat a crumple because of it.
• Didn’t try out the EX run-slide stuff but a second-hand account suggested that it’s not that useful, if only because it’s still stupidly unsafe, and unless you predict the fireball, more often than not, you soak it with the run anyway.
• Nothing else that really stuck out to me. He’s largely unchanged, if a little less lop-sided. But still awful. Fucksake.

Blanka

• lol

Cody

• Walkspeed seems largely the same, according to our resident Cody player. His tick throw game won’t receive any change as a result of it.
• The suggestion that f.HK is “more comboable” is a bit of a crapshoot. I don’t think we found anything new, so it might just be easier to land in the combos that already work for him.

Seth

• A whole new character. Losing j.HP was always going to hurt, but the tweaks in other areas make him awkward to use.
• The big one to me, aside from j.HP, was his jumping d.MK string. The timing is so much more tight that you can’t just throw them out anymore. I had some troubles landing it in the corner after a tatsu, actually. No more meaty stomps to ambig crossups, no more easy air juggles. Fucked me right up.
• The new j.HP is quite good (big fat hitbox, lots of active frames, etc), really, but still, it’s quite counterintuitive given what he had. It’ll take a while to get used to it.

Ryu

• cr.MK has been destroyed. I honestly think you would be lucky to eke out 3 active frames now. On one hand, it really fucks up his footsie game. On the other hand, it’s faster to recover. On the other other hand, it means that Ryu can’t (ab)use cr.MK to go under attacks like Fei’s CW or Sagat’s TK as easily as he used to. Make of that what you will.
• Trade ultra is back in. LP DP doesn’t reset like it does in Super.
• The new coward copter is hilarious. He basically stops dead like a really slow Guy falling elbow. This is the same for Akuma as well. It obviously doesn’t work at all in defense anymore, but it’s quite good in offense because the crossup is so much more ambiguous. It’s also quite good for stopping your jump arcs short, so you might be able to bait things out with it.
• Overall Ryu won’t move much, but I think you’ll need to change up how you play him in order to be effective. You don’t get the get out of jail free cards, and you don’t get claymores called cr.MK in footsies. You have to play him a lot more thoughtfully now.

Gief

• Can LP SPD the fucking moon
• EX green hand is another one of those backhanded buffs; a lot of characters don’t have the tools necessary to deal with the two-choice that presents itself after an EXGH, but others really benefit from not having to deal with his oki game straight off a combo. Not sure about the reset properties, but I suspect it’s much the same. Didn’t see anything to back that up.

I’m sure a lot of that doubles up on existing info but those are my impressions over the two days I had with AE. It’s definitely a more balanced game, and the twins are great fun.

Guy sux sorry Eddie :’(

And for DEM YING YANG TWINS:

I’ll preface this with the opinion that Yun will probably be high mid, or low top tier without much trouble, maybe even better. I don’t want people thinking he’s shitty.

However unlike vanilla Sagat, Yun and Yang will have some shitty matchups. Gief will walk all over the twins like they’re nothing, and I suspect that Hakan will be secretly good and therefore a problem. Can’t say the same for T.Hawk because he’s terrible, but you never know. Fei Long has the pokes and distance closers necessary to deal with meter building, as well as a counter ultra to keep them honest re: divekicks, so I think he’ll win out. Yang will have issues especially. Boxer, Dictator and Honda both have strong defense and monstrous normals; damage nerfs don’t mean much since the twins are both made of tissue.

Conversely, projectile characters shouldn’t give them much trouble. Daigo noted as much and from what I saw, he’s right. They rolled the likes of Deejay and Guile without breaking a sweat, and I don’t think shotos will hassle them. Just don’t fool yourself into thinking that the twins are broken. They’re really quite well balanced given the fact that they’re brand new inclusions.

[chithappens]

Anyone from Memphis got room for one tomorrow? I really would rather ride with someone tomorrow instead of drive because I went to Nashville three times last week and just don’t want to do it again :lol:

[gdbell87]

snip:

Thanks for posting this. I have been watching their videos on youtube. Dem CDB’z sound legit. Sounds like they aren’t easy mode like everyone is expecting but who knows. Only time will tell.

Jan: Dude counter that ho with fluids, movement, yummy soup, and compel it with the power of Christ. I was younger when I had it and it sucks. To think just 100 years ago this would kill people but thank God for modern medicine Hope you feel better man.

[Arson]

Guy sux sorry Eddie :’(

Yeah. Now that the game has been out for so long, I guess we can just go ahead and make a tier list and make every decision on who sucks and doesn’t already. Sorry Eddie. :rolleyes:

Jacob - That sucks, bro. My bad. New tires match, Quake 3?

Hell no man! I’m gonna be all over that shit!!! Viper, Iron Man, and Zero, baby!

Damn Tennessee just got AE and ITG3? Shit just got real!

ITG3 has been here for years, but its the one in Hendersonville in a ITG2 cab. First I heard of one in. Murfreesboro though .
