The Bama Thread - Aka "Monster Garage"!

Alright guys, good news: Saturday is officially on. I just got permission from my folks so we’re 100% ready to go.

The family’s leaving for Nashville in the morning so I’m thinking I’ll open doors around 11-11:30AM so we can get stuff set up and everything. They won’t be home until around midnight so we’ll be good to game for quite a while. My mom said she’ll buy some food/drinks so that’s covered but we can always order something if people are up for it.

Try to bring your own controllers, sticks, or whatever you use. I have a few sticks and controllers of my own but it would help if you come prepared. It would also help if we could get someone to bring a PS2 for Melty and the like. I have two 360’s (one with marvel and HDRemix), a wii, and a laptop that runs BB:CS and GGPO, and four really good TV’s so we’re pretty much covered on everything else. Still, feel free to bring whatever. I’m sure we can find a use for it.

Also, I don’t wanna seem like a dictator saying all of this but show some respect while you’re here. I don’t care if you trash talk or get hyped up (It wouldn’t be any fun without it) but let’s try and be responsible about how we handle this shit. Like I said, this is my parent’s house and they’re really going out on a limb and doing us a huge favor so don’t come in here raising hell.

PM me for specifics, directions and/or my number

P.S Good games to all the people I’ve been playing online this week. I really appreciate the matches, I know I’m really bad but just playing you guys this week, I can already tell my shit’s getting slightly better so I appreciate that a lot.

GGs to everyone last night.

Fucking HDR jesus.

Awesome, this guy’s Ryu is mega legit, guys. I’m always up for games on the weekend. Friday through Sunday is always open for me unless otherwise said, so come on down at around 4:00 or whenever (invite extended to everyone, obv).

Maaaaan, Kola, you missed so much. Brawl+ is soooo fun and the new codeset has done nothing to change Lucario so he is still god tier. Other activities included watching an entire playthrough of OTG’s I Wanna Be the Guy and reading Onani Master Kurosawa (It’s a manga like Death Note, except it’s about masturbation, looool).

It seems like either I’ve slowed down or time sped up because the weekend is re-approaching me way too fast.

Silent Shinobi: 4:00 is good for me.

I’m game.
HSV heads come throughhhh

You know I’m there Saturday.

Bwahahaha.

:}

xD well my parents kept me home for Easter weekend so going anywhere wasn’t going to be an easy task.

I might have to get picked up Saturday from my family before nightfall for parent reasons, but I still plan on crashing there Friday (If it’s ok with you and your sister of course).

If i don’t go out of town i’m definitely down to get some games on. I can bring my TE stick for 360 and i gotta get my hori stick that i let a friend borrow.

All other Huntsville peeps i’m Rick btw. I was the brown guy that oakwood mentioned some posts ago that was at the UAH event. Mainly playing with gulile blanka . I’ll let my friend Charles know as well he plays sf4 and mvc2.

mvc3 true?

yeah let charles know. maybe we’ll have 3s and he can show everyone how to play urien.

OK man…im workin saturday from 9am till 3… so ill show up some time around 5…see ya saturday.

I’ll bring the ps2 saturday and a couple of sticks. Any requests for games to bring with it? I may just have it.

They only specific game I’d like to see is Melty. Can’t really think of anything else. I guess Marvel, if you have it. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have that extra Marvel setup since that’s usually our second most played game under SF4.

bring hokuto.

we need to show hsv a real good game…

I give up. I have no idea how to get Melty Blood ISO.

On the bright side, I’m picking up MvC2, if only for casuals. How good would a Cammy, Sentinal, Morrigan team be? I’ve heard Cammy does very well against the gods and top tiers, but I dunno about Morrigan. Maybe Cyclops would compliment them better…

that team is pretty bad
generally on mvc2 if a team is not a top tier team its pretty bad. it might have good matchups against certain top tier teams and then awful ones against certain others.
this also depends on your level of competition. the game has been out for 10 years so pretty much every team is either a known team, or known to be ass, or has some good shit that slipped through the cracks of time because its just not as good as the top tiers or it has particularly bad matchups against certain top tiers.

also there’s not really any major synergy between cammy and morrigan that i’m aware of. you want any team you construct to have this

better teams with these characters (still pretty bad because they involve morrigan and cammy but…):
cammy/sent/doom
cammy/sent/cyke (this one is pretty good)
morrigan/sent/tron (yipes’s low tier team is this)
cammy/morrigan/tron (this is one way to make a low tier team, pick two low tiers and tron because tron projectile assist does a fuckton of damage especially if it hits as a crossup)

other good cammy teams (these are all still low tier):
cammy/storm/doom
cammy/sent/doom
storm/sent/cammy (justin wong used this to win B5 in like 2001 i think this was before people had completely realized how cheap magneto and storm/sent is people all used dr. doom and shit)
cammy/cable/cyke
cammy/sent/capcom
cammy/storm/tron
cammy/sent/tron

good teams off the top of my head with sent in them:
storm/sent/capcom (santhrax)
storm/sent/cyke (matrix)
storm/sent/cable
magneto/storm/sent (mss)
cable/sent/capcom (team scrub, should be called team pro because no scrub would have the braveness to pick such a cheap team)
magneto/cable/sentinel (rowtron)

still, don’t expect to be able to take teams like this and do well against ALL the gods.

like I can take my megaman/bbhood/juggernaut and i can do pretty well against magneto as long as i dont get caught and this team is pretty good at not getting caught by him but i got fucking awful matchups vs. storm, sentinel, and cable (all at least 8-2s in their favor)… not to mention it gets raped by people like blackheart and doom and spiral…
but i mean your opponents have to be good to make this true, so if its just other people that are picking up the game then just whatever ignore the tiers pick whoever, the tiers dont exist at low skill levels

but IF at any point you want to take the game seriously pick a real team and learn your combos dont make mistakes like i did and decide you want to be cool with low tiers because they’re the 4 GODS for a reason, they have everything, they are better at attacking than your low tiers, better at defending, and better at shooting, and better at running away. and they have the stupidest shit thats just impossible to do anything about. say you have bb hood on point? sentinel can activate flight mode and hold up+back for most of the rest of the match, do his HP when you get closer and theres not much you can do except do something really random. and then you finally catch him and he comes down and then suddenly sentinel is raping bbhood by stomping on her and you wish that you had never caught him

if you want to find videos a good place is preppy’s site:

a bunch of shit that’s not on youtube. type in the search box morrigan and cammy to get those characters, plus a bunch of shit for sent…

I’m sending you a PM.

Anyone else going to Zero’s for gaming tonight.

Can’t make it to Mixed’s tomorrow since I’m busy later that night.

Door’s open at 1 PM tomorrow instead of 11AM. Most of you have my number so feel free to shoot me a text or call if you want.

See you all tomorrow!
