The Bama Thread - "Everyday is Halloween"!

lol @ Bama having an actual BB:CS cab. We don’t, but we do have BB players though.

What’s up everyone. Been a member here on SRK for a while now and just found the 'Bama thread. I’m in B’ham right now; will be going to Fort Benning, GA for two months this summer but will be back when law school starts back up in Aug + home on weekends during the summmer. My XBL and PSN tags are in my details. All y’all AL folks hit me up. Been trying to find people around here that play for a while.

i live in columbus, ga right next to ft.B… we should have some matches while youre in town during the summer

Could anyone here dual-mod a Madcatz SE stick for the 360 so I can use it with my new PS3? I don’t feel like spending 70-130 bucks on a new stick for it…but I’ll tip nicely if anyone can hook me up.

I’ll ask TheGMan, he’s pretty much the local mod guy here in B’ham. He’s the one that dual modded my TE and it has worked perfectly ever since. I highly recommend his work.

Also, I’m about to give up on SSF4. The game is boring and almost everything I didn’t like about vanilla SF4 seems to have carried over: slow pace, shortcuts, poor online functionality (“Unable to join session,” happens at least 9/10 rooms I try to join, garbage netcode, less options in general, replay channels suck, leaderboards suck… Hell, the online is pretty much worse than Blazblue in every regard), too turtle/zoning/runaway friendly, shallow system mechanics, etc. To top it all off, it turns out the character I was most looking forward to playing, T.Hawk, is utter shit (I did a write-up detailing why here).

What kills me is that I fell for this shit twice. I wanted a new SF game so badly when vanilla SF4 was announced. I was cautious but gave in to the hype, then when it was released I hated it but tried to like it so hard before realizing it wasn’t worth it… Now it’s the same thing all over again. If/when Capcom ever releases SF5, I’ll most likely just shake my head and ignore it.

On that note, 7/27 can’t get here soon enough.

raph says lets just play guilty gear

Also blazblue cs when it comes out, because ssf4 really is the same game as the version before

Thanks, man. Lemme know if you get word of anything. Any idea how much he’ll charge? (Just out of curiosity)

Sums up my feelings exactly. Capcom promised faster gameplay, but that was really a placebo by adding 10 “fast-paced” characters. Same applies for the properties of moves that they promised would alter and didn’t aside from damage. Useless moves are still useless. Broken moves are still broken (aside from Sagat, LOL). All they did was make Sagat hit like a little girl and made it to where Ryu can juggle into HP Shoryuken.

I mean, I still have fun with this game, but seeing the massive unfairness in the balancing of characters is frustrating.

I wouldn’t necessarily lose hope for a possible SF5 since SF4 is pretty much a sequel to SF2 maybe SF5 will be a sequel to SF3?

Wes knows what to do before 7/27.
Zero would too if he had a blank DVD around his house.
Phoeynx would too if he was off of work a single Friday night in his life. (we’ll play tomorrow though even if you are)
Doren’s just a nigga.

Off yet another Friday, who be hosting shit? Also, if you are having something over there Zero, I gotta show you some hood blockstrings and a proper space. I may remember telling you this but for H-Tohno, if your blockstrings are tight, don’t worry about the combos until they give up blocking. You need to get a sense of your moveset is all: what you used, what you didn’t, and what you can make of it to get the highest damage possible. Make sure when someone blocks, you stay in there and add in those throws. I’ll have Phoeynx take a good look at you too if he shows up.

Wes, play F-Kohaku. Damage once in? Yes. Counters? Yes. Gay 5C? Yes. PLUS SPINNY PLANTS AND CACTUS AND PLANTS THAT SPIT HOT FIRE NAMED JOHNNY!!

Isaac, how’s that knee man? And what’s this new gaming center you talking about?

at least that’ll give me a reason to bust out my ps2 again. if yall are serious about getting back on GG and BB, im always down to play those. let a brotha know.

What up Huntsville peeps well i made it back from the west coast… I’ll be online throughout the week so send me some invites since my connection to peeps elsewhere sucks!! Josh I might be down for the first… Once i get my place cleaned up I can probably host

Just play 3s again

:china:

LMFAO NIGGA YOU MAD SALTY CUZ HAWK IS ASS!!! YOU LET THAT NIGGA DARREL BEAT YO ASS WIT CHUN LI GTFO BOY HELL NAW!!!

So you’re not gonna play cuz your intial character of choice sucks? Shit you got Abel, what’s good? Not playing the game over one garbage ass character (that has NEVER been good) is ghetto as fuck. Even when “Snake Shirt” tried to rebalance him he still sat at the bottom. I already told you weeks before the game came out that it was the same game. But as usual, when I’m talking ppl start being deaf. :rolleyes:

Doesn’t really work like that, homey. The games basically get shittier as they come out:

HSF2>ST Cuz whiffing one cr. jab and eating a super (that’d be safe and do nice chip if you’da pressed nothin’) is excessively unfair. Punishment doesn’t fit the crime; that and Balrog, O. Sagat and Dhalsim.
ST>A1-A2-A3 Cuz Chain combos are silly, Alpha Counters punish even intelligent, strategic poking Valle CC and Chun Li, Also [media=youtube]7iW3MbhG2tE[/media] in A3’s case
Alpha>SFIII:NG/SFIII:2I Cuz of a few infinites, EVERYTHING links into super and Ibuki in NG’s case, and for 2I cuz of a few 100% combos, EVERYTHING links into super and Ibuki and Gouki
SFIII:2I~SFIII:3S This one’s tough to call cuz on one hand you got Hashinsho and like 7-hit hit confirms and on the other you got Yun Chun Mak, parry freeze being longer (enjoy your downtime) and a very large middle finger to character balance.

I suspect Street Fighter 5 will be built from the ground up by chimpanzees.

Naw, Wes “switched” (you have to be playing in the first place to switch, right?) to Kouma. Wes likes to play grapplers, voluntarily handicap himself and he gets his panties in a bunch when he isn’t winning. (BOY I AM ON YO’ ASS)

I don’t think so, pal.

Gaijin- Any chance we might could get together tomorrow for the PS2 hacks? You can come over any time after like 8 AM or I can come over to your place, whatever works for you. If we can’t get together tomorrow, I’m available any time any day after Saturday. I hate to sound repetitive lol but I reallllllllly wanna get on some MBAA

Tonight has been a shit night.

I was supposed to get off at 11pm tonight, and around 9:30pm I got a page over the intercom at Lowe’s to call my house and that it was an emergency. I called home and found out that around 30 minutes prior, my mom had just got done making supper and was carrying a plate of food when out of nowhere she just passed out. My sister thought she had a stroke and called the paramedics who came and checked her out, they ran some tests and said they had no idea what happened but for her to go to the doctor in the morning. She’s doing better now other than her head hurting (she gets cluster headaches [similar to migraine headaches but worse] and they think she might have hit it when she fell), but that shit’s pretty scary. My mom is cool as fuck when people come to play and I know she loves you guys so I just wanted to let everybody know to keep her in your thoughts.

I haven’t been able to get in touch with TheGMan yet Mixed, but something I thought to ask: what type of dual mod are you wanting to do? Chutulu/Chimp board, or dual PCB (a.k.a. gutting a PS3 controller and putting it in your 360 stick)?

Tonight is not the night. I will respond to this later, but for now, drop it.

My condolences to your moms Wes. She good people and I’ll be sure to keep her in prayer.

hope your mom gets better wes

i know how you feel man my mom had another heart attack a few days ago

ill play you in it some but i wont play it all the time because that game is too fucked up

Zero, let’s play duel monsters and Melty today if you’re having something. I WILL BRING DVDs! Whatever happened to Kola anyway?
