The Bama Thread - "Country Living and Arcade Sticks"

Ah, just looked up the rules. I didn’t know that certain combinations were banned too. Looks like I’m gonna have to find someone to replace a member with.

So I have been playing him wrong. I haven’t abused walljump at all.

btw, Cammy can DHC from Gambit.

Why would you want to though? Unless it’s for a safe switch.

damage?

cammy doesn’t have any safe supers, even in low tier matches.

more info for zero:
gambit also has a good wavedash that can sometimes hop some char’s c.lk (magneto), much like dr doom’s wavedash… idk try playing atlien online if you can find him, he has a sick gambit ryu tron. gambit can also do a ton of damage off some combos, like some guy online did a combo that was like (not positive if this is the exact thing but), dash up, c.lk, c.hp + commando hit, upward kinetic card, upward kinetic card, horizontal kinetic card cancelled to royal flush -> 100% damage for 1 bar. I was like what the fuck is this shit

check the gambit forums. also this might sound ridiculous but for low tiers, check on gamefaqs. they actually have some info you won’t find on srk (a lot of bb hood gimmicks i got from gamefaqs because nobody posts about her on srk because she is so godawful). usually it is gimmicky shit but people don’t know about low tiers so you can get away with it. if you play the montgomery and auburn players, we’ll know about low tier gimmicks because we play low tier all the time, but if you go to elsewhere you can get away with a fuckton of shit they don’t punish.

also i personally dislike the NEC low tier ruleset. They have ridiculous teams like anakaris/bbhood/juggernaut allowed but then other shit like jill is ratio 2…

also, if you are planning on using low tier chars against top tiers, here is a quick checklist of things your low tier team has to not lose automatically to:

  1. sentinel activates flight, holds upback
  2. sentinel zoning, if you try to superjump over, he just does mouthbeam unblockable and you land on it (if you don’t have a way to hit him out of it, a wall jump, a double jump, an airdash, or something else to alter the jump arc, your char will lose to this for free every time).
  3. storm runaway
  4. cable lockdown with drones or doom rocks
  5. cyke assist
  6. commando assist
  7. sentinel flight stepping on you w/ magneto assist
  8. sentinel flight stepping on you w/ antiair assist
  9. your combos need to not require a grounded opponent because otherwise you won’t be landing shit on the constantly trijumping, flying, and tiger kneeing a grenade top tiers.

you might notice that magneto isn’t even really included in this list except for his assist, that is because he rapes everyone equally so if you play a low tier it won’t be much worse than if you are playing a top tier vs him.

All of those problems have answers in low tier chars but i want to make sure you see that first so you don’t spend 6 months on a team that can’t beat even one of those things.

damage?

Sona is superior compared to Soraka, for most team compositions (maybe there’s some shit about 3v3 that makes her better).

more info for zero:
teemo also has a good nuke that blinds, which can sometimes deal with some auto attack based carries (yi, kog, trist, etc), much like heimer’s skillshot… idk try playing normal to get better at being annoying with him, all i can say is put mushrooms everywhere. teemo can also carry if you rape early game with ap hybrid, like in one game i start the game by owning mid against ashe, by end game, i was putting mushroom in their jungle and base, each dealing over 800 damage over 4 seconds, at some point when i was dead (btw, you gotta know when to run away with teemo, he’s hella squishy) i score a double kill cus two guys fleeting ran into my mushrooms. I was like hell yeah, ballin!

check the teemo guides. also this might sound ridiculous but guides in general, check on youtube. they actually have some info or commentary on general game play you won’t find on leaguecraft (a lot of jungling guides on champions that shouldnt jungle, sigh… or video guides with some guy or girl (weird, there’s actually a decent amount of girls who play this game) owning scrubs and telling other scrubs that they need to buy Brawler’s Gloves first item as garen, ffffffffffffffffffffffffff). but usually normal, even at level 30, is filled with scrubs, you just play any decent carry and you just face roll. if you play the auburn players… well actually, the players i know in real life, they’re all my friends, they’re all pretty fucking bad, either play very unsafe or just plain too agressively, this game is all about risk/reward, from my experience, the safest type of team is a conservative pusher team, while the other team’s risk isnt very high, cus they’re facing a conservative team, their reward is near zero, just keep stacking the chances against them, it’s just how you can win against a premade (this shit doesnt work in normal, cus of scrubs).

also i personally agree with the common ranked ban list. While most of those champions are indeed very face-rolly, there are many other champions, if played correctly, are basically unstoppable, and they arent commonly banned…

also, if you are planning on using low tier champions, here is a quick checklist of things you better not bitch about, because certain champions can auto win games:

  1. garen shitting on your face
  2. amumu aoe damage plus stun, that you cant avoid.
  3. you not able to deal damage to morde, period.
  4. galio’s aoe taunt follow by 1/3 of your whole team’s health gone.
  5. morg’s aoe stun plus immob plus black shield
  6. kennen activate his ult, then uses Zhonya’s Ring
  7. Twitch coming outta nowhere and pulls out his dick and sprays everyone.
  8. kog taking down your team’s tank in 4 seconds.
  9. sivir dealing damage to everyone, fucking everyone!

you might notice that i didnt include many heavy op single target anti-carries like poppy, xin, ww, akali, jax, etc, that is because they may greatly reduce the chance of the opposing team winning, but they dont bring the chance down to basically zero, all of the above, if done correctly with a team with half of a brain, basically guarantee your team winning team fights, which would mean winning the game.

All of those problems have answers in other champions, the main thing is to not be dumb, play with a team of players that know what to do and not let those things above happen in a team fight, either by avoiding them completely or countering them as they’re happening. In normal tho… normal is pretty face-rolly and filled with scrubs, you cant depend on anyone else really except yourself.

lolwut?

Tension Pulse is live

FunkyP presents: on Justin.tv

I would be SO down for this. Travel costs are the #1 reason why I hardly ever get to go to tournaments.

Also, who else is hyped for CS2? The system mechanic changes are looking awesome:
BBCS2 FINAL SHOWDOWN: Loketest 5, Nov. 15th Discussion

It seems like they’re nerfing some of the stupid shit in order to make the game harder, which is a good thing IMO. Hopefully they’re just prepping people for a new GG fingers crossed

Hey Shin. Your PM box is full, so I’m gonna go ahead and paste my reply to your message here :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, well…any day is fine for me really, lol. I don’t really go anywhere most of the time. I just figure Friday or Saturday would work best for you.

How about you talk with your friends and whatnot, check your schedule, and see what would work the best for you for the first or second week of December and get back with me? My schedule is a bit more flexible than yours at the moment, I would imagine, so whatever works better for you works for me :slight_smile:

Hey, y’all [Birmingham] should come over this weekend. There will be food and games and stuff.

Saturday Night Fights FTW!

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know that we are opening up a new game store in North West Alabama, 60 miles north of Huntsville (100 miles from Bham). If you live in the area or nearby and looking for a great place to hang and tear up with friends, we’re your one stop shop! FTW (For the Win) will be running weekly tournaments on Saturday nights that include SSFIV, MvC2, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, etc. You name it, we have it!

Here are all the juicy details:

SETUP:
FTW has a PS3 with copies of SSF4, Tekken 6, Blazeblue, KoF13, and MvC2. It’s displayed on a wall mounted 46" JVC HDTV @ 120 Hertz with a Sony 5.1 Surround Sound setup. We also have a PS2 and Wii with a huge assortment of fighting games that runs on a standard 27" screen. We have additional space for more consoles and TVs if people want to bring their owns while waiting on the HDTV room.

FEE:
FTW runs a casual play fee of $8 for the HDTV room, and $5 for the Standard TV. This is per screen, per hour. Not per person!

LOCATION:
FTW
3920 Cloverdale Rd.
Florence, AL 35633

TIME:
Every Saturday from 5:00 PM till 12:00 AM. Though 3 AM is a common event for some of us!

LIVE STREAM:
Right now, we don’t have any Streaming capabilities. If this is a game breaker for you and know how to set it up, let us know! We are open to the idea if we get enough people playing weekly.

BYOC:
Bring your own controller or pad. FTW has extras that they can rent out, but you will feel more at home with your own.

WEBSITE:
If you want more info on the store, including a convenient google map, visit the website @ FTW: Homepage

HOUSE RULES:

  1. Respect each other.

  2. Trash talking is cool its part of the culture just keep it in check and dont get out of hand with it. If there are children present, watch your language.

  3. No smoking or alcohol, please!

  4. Maintain personal hygiene

It’s that simple. Let me know if you guys have any questions. My email and phone # are located on the website if you want to talk to one of the owners. Thanks guys!

^ Fucking AWESOME! NW Alabama needs to keep this place alive with hype, Florence is kind of a black hole for businesses like this (Anime Impulse only lasted a couple of months, for instance)
