Hey Jake MM me in MK9. Once I erase the God of Thunder’s ass, amulets will break in homes everywhere and these storms and tornadoes will stop lol.

Either that or Team “GIMME DA MONEH!” (in Quan Chi voice)

Lol everything is matchups and ratios here. That’d be true if we all were robots but thank god for the human mind, even under the constrictions of a video game with set options. Shit still happens and people get outplayed. But I mean, people can duck against Jax if they want. You can still get quad-grabbed or rushed down just the same. Or block a safe move and be back to square one. With him in your face. And begins again. I don’t even like Jax but I think it’s all a little silly with needing mid launchers or combos into x-rays and such. Naked x-rays with hyper armor are just fine and some charas x-rays aren’t worth wasting the meter that they need to profit. And our mids have to launch or lead to combo for them to “not suck”? Good old pressure mixups and creating situations aren’t enough anymore lol. I hear ya though.

Biggest thing I had an issue with was Jax can’t stay on you. Wow lol. Smh. Oh yea, and if stuff gets too black and white like everyone is making it then i’ll just pick Nightwolf right then and there. Give in to the madness then. This tourney is gonna be hype.

Your Raiden is gonna footsies and die.

Good 4 matches to Gabe, Orel, and Jose. Lmao you fools always bombrush me everytime I step foot in there. Being soaking wet and dead tired still doesn’t stop y’all from stuffing the sticks/pad in my face asap and talking shit lol. Nice stuff from what I could see in 5 minutes. If anybody does something this weekend I might be able to stop by. But then all hell breaks lose…

From Twitter…

IT HAS BEGUN

@flymike

Nah man, I’m playing Nightwolf. Jacob Ford is the problem. If we don’t learn how to be lame cunts he’s gonna win that fight money.

964

Oh yea, so much for running the tournies on 360, unless Game Galaxy has wi-fi:

Shoryuken - MK9 - Balance Updates on the Xbox 360 Version Do Not Work Offline

Laugh now x-cock bitches. With you lag reponse speed time plink issues. Eat shit.

965

We do have Wi-FI but you can’t even get a patch on PS3 or get online for that matter, LOL…

As far as ducking goes, you realize you can just let go of block and the character risking a grab is going to eat an uppercut…Throws aren’t really THAT much of a factor in this game but like I said, you’ll see what we are talking about. All the previous stuff you mentioned with Jax being “good” requires someone to jump at him or be knocked down. THat won’t work on wake-up moves, teleports, and people that…well…anti-air, LOL…believe me, I know how to play Jax…he has 4s across the board on a bunch of matchups…I think you’re putting too much credit on the Jab Grab but even as “players” make characters great, it’s not a “deep” game, it’s really “what will you do” when quality of skill with players matters and in this case unless you think Jax has magic fists, he’s not winning, LOL

966

I’m 100% certain that 360 thing will be changed, they just can’t patch everything every 5 minutes but I know that will be fixed

967

I know, so you’re already lame. Stop vying for attention.

And stop letting a Jake pull an Any Given Sunday on you fucks in every game. I don’t like that shit. A pro DE should be playing GTA and 2K, not tapping sticks with the grace of a thousand angels and possess all of the knowledge he has. One of the smartest players in TN. I know he has Raiden in this but where we just want to make him scream and fly through the air and be a douche, he’s seeing numbers and the glow. Prob has over-analyzed the stupid character by now. I don’t trust that shit. Makes me uneasy.

And both Nightwolf and Raiden are the problem as far as my personal experience goes. I think Smoke fucks random days up and just looks cool to people. But it looks cool to me when he’s spinning in front of my face about to catch at least 35%. He doesn’t even have anything to make me think of flinching or even ducking or blocking low. Lame it out until he’s done being a jackass. I need to play against more solid people who use diff characters. But right now I’m only really scared of Nightwolf and Raiden. Someone needs to pick up Shang. A random guy is gonna come to tourney and make people ride fireballs…

@Jason: I dig that. But you’re still making in black and white. In terms of single moves like the Jax player is just going to be an idiot and do specials repeatedly from fullscreen and strings and telegraph dumb shit. It’s almost like you an’t conceive the notion of someone actually putting shit together and placing it so well that it just flows. I could see if the character wasnt capable of that. Some aren’t. Plus dude has great normals. Unless you see in slow-motion, feel free to duck, anticipate, punish, destroy, rape, whatever, a well-put together and thought out rushdown and playstyle. i know what’s lame. I know “what works”. And I dont think its to the extent of that, like on SF4 matchup type shit. Game doesn’t have to be THAT deep, and its not, to play it out. So in the end, it’s not going to be about someone just doing these moves, you instant recognize, and react. If the game flowed like that I wouldn’t be playing it. I agree y’all can do your best to effectively zone but it’s ridiculous to say that Jax can’t stay in. What yall gonna do after you actually do knockdown or whatever? 95% of combos in this game you gotta be right in someone’s face. So after that what? Jump back and eat a wakeup superman? Teleport that puts you next to your opponent anyway? X-Ray? Fireball? Grab? Duck? Block? Its a fucking mixup nearly everytime one of you wakes up next to the other. Unless you’re him, with unblockable after certain knockdowns. Other stuff, I could go on, but it wouldnt make a difference right now.

I’m rambling now but I just wanna see what goes down. Whatever the outcome may be.

968

Jacob is Good Comp Hunting…Raiden Man…Jacob Ford is 009: The Man With The Golden Stun…

now i want to parody fighting games with bond movie titles, shit

969

Heh, you’ll see the power of Raiden’s teleport… =) There’s a reason I use that character too…oh it’s going to be fun. The amount of times people will get stuck in Raiden’s combo is going to be like the guys in Japan chanting everytime Yun gets a Genei Jin juggle, LOL

970

Jax is pretty garbage.

I guess he could be good, if he was fighting the bottom 3 tiered characters in the game. They just really made him ass so far, and until he gets patched, good luck getting in on Smoke, Kabal, Raiden, Nightwolf, Tsung, Kano, and any other projectile/teleport characters lol.

Also, the guy in the crying PS3 video is the same guy that did this classic: [media=youtube]t96H-TG2QwE[/media]

Discosean is fucking great, I posted that shit ages ago lol, so glad to see he is still doing videos.

971

GGS to everyone at Hastings! Though I’m still bitter, Juego and I certainly had a blast! Sorry I couldn’t come out to Huey’s. I would have but Juego had to get back to the crib to study. Quick shouts:

Duckie: Your set with Juego was entertaining. If you want the video I think he has some of it (all of it didn’t record). I hope you pick Super back up man.

Squab: Special shoutouts to you for being doped up on pain meds, running the ranbat, and playing with a broken elbow. Your elbow will forever be the people’s elbow! lol You are still free though.

Lycan: You are free and a super slaw! You my guy though.

Blasian: Nice meeting you man. glad you came out. Hopefully next time we can talk more.

Sev: You didn’t play me in Marvel again! Just admit you are afraid you will lose to me! lol Next time man. you gotta show me some Trish tricks.

The Problem: Your stick and I are destined for greatness. No homo.

Johnny: Johnny Cage son!

Jas: Thanks for commentating my match. I got the video if you want to hear it. Classic as usual. You are slaw otherwise! Shoot me a PM with your number and we can talk real life stuff, in particular these jobs. I know some people at staffing agencies and they may be able to help you a little. Just let me know man.

Bishop: Man Ibuki is one of those characters I just don’t like at all! Terrible fighting against that whore! lol GGs man. And I hope you learned your lesson with random selecting! Not me son! Not me! Oh and your Jax…I’m no MK head or anything, but I think it will be a long day for folks come May 7th!

Josh: Eh, GGs. I gotta give it to you, you played solid with Bison so no taking that away from you there! But I think I will be better prepared next time. See you in 4 weeks slaw.

Flymike: Its always good to see you man. Out of all the slaws, you are my favorite slaw! I’m going to try and cop MK this week so when Sony decides to get its life together hopefully we can get some games in. Your robot dude (Sektor???) was silly.

Speaking of MK9, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Game is mad fun and a lot more smooth than the demo was. I like the pace and the moves aren’t as difficult to pull off as I thought they would be. Certainly easy to get into. I don’t like it more than Street Fighter 4 but its a really solid fighting game and I hope people here continue to play it. I will probably be playing Smoke or Nightwolf. Tierwhore all day!

If someone hosts this weekend let me know and I will do my best to show up for some MK action!

Off to watch my matches. Laters kids!

Working on the flawless victory for Fight Night.

GGs to everyone last night. Sucks we didn’t get to finish the ranbat in one night. IIRC top four is between (Woot, Lycan, Cylus, Eraser) tied for 5th (Sev, Squabbler). I dont know other than that though.

Dream: Sorry if this is a stupid question but I thought a read a few pages back you saying 4 player tag mode can be done offline. How exactly?

975

As stated, there’s still 3 matches to be played to determine the winner of the first SSFIV ranbat. We had a total of 23 entrees, good shit guys!

Remaining Matches
Game A: Eraser VS Lycan (loser gets 4th)
Game B: Cylus VS Winner of Game A (loser gets 3rd)
Grand Finals: Woot VS Winner of Game B

Also I saw some new faces last night, sorry if I dont remember all the names, who were interested in playing more Marvel. Next week is just a casuals session but the week after will be a Marvel ranbat FYI.

977

Nice meeting you guys and learning a whole bunch of stuff at Huey’s. I’ll be practicing my Chun Li skills every day and can probably host one day as I get more comfortable with all you crazy mofos (j/k). Looking forward to this weekend/next week.

So, apparently the people that saw you guys coming out of the movie theater that day that say “HEY I SAW YOU ON TV!!!” was referring to these guys: [media=youtube]uE9x8JPrwFc[/media]

Hey, did any of the guys I roomed at Final Round with find a Ralph’s Donuts red T-shirt? I lost mine and that’s the last time I had it…

979

Ok, I just updated the MWC thread with SBO official announcements. Tournament format is same as last year. $50 to enter ST though, YIKES but no cover charge though on ST… :wink:

Memphis players, I will be hosting again this Saturday in my little breadbox apartment. BYOB, sodas and chips provided. I’ll have room for 3-4 setups, plus one more on the patio for smoking matches if someone brings an extension cord. Can I get a headcount?
