Taking advantage of opportunity to ask for some games this weekend. I’ve actually been hosting gamefests every Friday all weekend for a while now, but I never really got around to telling y’all more than a couple of times >.> I’ll call you later tomorrow, maybe 8PM-ish for getting stuff set up.
I’ve always wanted to check out EVO, but idk if I’ll have the funds.
I’ll check out the Melty Blood stuff then, I was trying to learn GG stuff, but man, I can’t find Accent Core anywhere and I’m stuck with #Reload. I like Shiki Tono and… uhh… evil Arcuid… girl.
Is anybody here near Auburn? I’m gonna be at Auburn Univ. for a conference this weekend, will arrive on Thurs. night and leave on Monday morning. Would love to get some games in if possible, I play T6 and SF4. :china:
@Halcyonryu aka Blueguile, ggs man. sorry that raph’s everquest bots made me disconnect. i really wish i knew what to do about fuerte’s shit, i can’t figure out whats up in that matchup. at first i thought i could maybe play footsies but he just moves too fast and theres no normals that beat the jumpy attacks… i dont know. i dont really know the full extent of things to catch him on his wakeup… i tried doing a c.lk and you just did the ex dash into tortilla and it punished it and i was just confused and theres not really any good matchup advice about it on the sagat forum because they only played against shitty fuertes so they dont know whats up. i also don’t really know what options i ACTUALLY have on MY wakeup because tiger uppercut seems pretty shitty for that purpose and backdash is only kinda there, i dont know. i wish sagat wasn’t so tall. man you need to get offline timing down and then go rape people in atlanta and shit you’d be top 3 every time i think
@pete68 i’ll pm you my phone number we’ll play marvel sf4 or blazblue i guess sf4 since thats what you would want i guess. i would play t6 even though i suck ass at it if we had a ps3 but we only have the 360 version and i play that game on pad.
Anotak - thanks for the quick reply. I’ll PM you my # right now, hopefully we’ll get some games in this weekend. I’ll bring my stick (PS3 only, alas) for SF4. I play T6 on PS3 pad but could play on stick too.
Wes: Totally down for games if I get a ride back on that side of town on Friday. Also, by May, I should have a definite answer on Evo. I gotta go this year, nothing’s gonna stop me from witnessing history.
I know much with both (since H-Tohno is my 2ndary and I’ve fucked with Warc combos enough) so you got 2 good starters there. They’re really easy to play with since you’re just starting out and very solid in overall play. Warc may be harder since she has some crazy BnBs and easily shifts from pressure to zoning. Requires that you learn a little about the game before you pick her up. Both are aggressive with broken pressure and broken lockdown. The only thing that they have above each other is a decent zoning game with rings (Warc) and a dumb ass DP (Tohno).
Also, Warc’s not evil. She just be staying on dat period.
For anyone in or around Huntsville: UAHuntsville is having a LAN tomorrow from 5PM to 1AM. There will be a variety of games played but unfortunately, SF4 is the only 2D-fighter on the list. However, this would give anybody from Hville that posts/lurks here the opportunity to get together and familiarize themselves with other local players, so I urge anyone that’s interested to make an appearance. I’ll be there along with some of the other people from the Huntsville area that have posted here.
Dawww, if only you had said, “Tomorrow,” I can’t do anything today because today’s the last day my brother is going to be in Alabama and the family and I are going to some restaurant.
Pretty sure it’s BYOControllers but I’m bringing my TE and SE sticks just in case people need them, and to the best of my knowledge they’ll be running SF4 the entire time, though that isn’t a 100% guarantee. You should really consider coming out, we need all the SF4 support we can get. Plus, the whole event is free. Free food, free entry, free Red Bulls (Can’t go wrong with that, right?) and more. PM me if you need any information or if you just wanna meet up with me and my friends at the event. I want to try and build some SF4 hype if at all possible. Let’s get it in, H-town.
Edit: I’m just gonna go ahead and add this in to avoid double-posting.
Good games tonight, Freesway. You are the fucking man lmao. I just couldn’t keep up with ya, man. Solid execution, zoning, punishes. I got bodied hard for real. You’re a very good player and I look forward to playing you in the future. I played awful and I know it’s going to sound stupid as hell but frankly speaking, I just don’t know how to play Akuma anymore. I used to be somewhat decent with him but lately (The last month or so) I’ve been losing left and right. I think most of it is because I’m just too predictable and I’m leaving myself wide-open for punishes, most of which cut like a knife given that the guy just doesn’t have much health. So, I’m really considering going back to basics and picking up a slightly easier character like Ryu, Sagat, or Boxer for the remainder of SF4. Just for the sake of better grasping the basic concepts of the game, which I still tend to struggle with, as sad as that probably sounds.
But again, great games. You’ve got a solid game and I respect your shit, homie. (Your C.Viper is just devastating…I was afraid to move lmfao)
Yo skitz. I see that the flyer is placed on facebook since its the new hotness and whatnot, but you should also place one on myspace for the old-schoolers who haven’t upgraded yet(like myself). Get the push through all avenues.
anyone been to the UAH lans the past 2 years? 1st year they apparently didn’t like the idea of pcs and consoles in the same area (something about not enough electricity)
Good games to you too Mixed. I understand that feeling that you’re having with Akuma though. That’s how I felt about Viper for the longest. I took a 3 month break from SFIV, came back and I couldnt do anything with her. I ended up sticking with her though. If you like Akuma, I say keep on working with him. Try and work on your footsies some and taking advantage of the vortex. If you see me on XBL, I’m always down for some matches, so just hit me with a message.
I really have no idea what to expect of the UAH event. From what I saw in some pictures of the last one, their main focus is going to be Rock Band 2. SF4 will likely have a setup for the majority of the time but from what I saw in those pictures, it looks like we’ll be playing it on a projector, and those are usually pretty laggy.
If you guys aren’t feeling this thing (Honestly, I’m not really feeling it myself) we could always just have a regular get together at my place tonight or tomorrow. I don’t think I’m gonna go to the Ranbat at Game Galaxy tomorrow since my Akuma is in the gutter and I’d probably just get embarrassed so if anyone wants to get some SF4 in offline (Or over XBL) just get at me.
And I’ll be on XBL quite a bit this weekend Freesway. Finally got an off-weekend so I think I’m fuck around with some different chars and get back into the grind. I’ll hit you up if I see you on fo sho.
Edit: Good games just now, Aces. Sorry I had to dip out so quickly but I’ve gotta get all this UAH shit figured out and see who’s riding with me and what not. Nice lineup you got going on there. Looking forward to getting more matches in with ya.
