SBO @ San Mateo’s Play-n-trade sounds fun too although its only for Vanilla. Marn posted on that thread saying him, ortiz, and Justin wong is gonna enter so thats gonna bring alot of hype.
playing online and trying to do these Trials is giving me nightmares. im gonna try to chill out and be fresh for saturday.
Ah yes, I plan to go there too. I’ll probably just be a spectator (no cammy in arcade vanilla :bluu:), but maybe they’ll have some casual stations of SUPER.
Best generic pointer i can give is practice!
More specifically, if you’re getting random c.spikes during combos, be aware of how relaxed the inputs in this game are. Lately, when I’m in position to do a drill combo, I try to mentally double check if I had just walked forward to get where I’m at. If so, instead of doing a combo like c.MK xx HSA, I’ll just do a sweep; it’s less damage, but it’s a untechable knockdown, so I at least get to start some mixups. It’s way better than flying off to the moon! I’ve random spike that airplane on the africa stage more times than I care to admit…
I tried some other tricks to avoid random spike like letting the stick go neutral prior to comboing (not always enough time to do so), and doing drill with a half circle motion instead (sometimes I do this too fast and still get spikes :lol:)
About focus canceling. This is more about muscle-memory than anything else. Note that the timing for canceling is different when doing a special move naked (i.e. wakeup dp, random drill, etc.), than when comboing into it ( i.e. links into HSA, cl.HP xx c.Spike, etc.). With naked timing, it’s impossible to do the cancel too fast, so try to do everything as one motion. Once you get that down, you’ll be able to get a better feel for timing FADC during combos and blockstrings.
As far as links go, you just have to go into training mode and repeat them ad nauseam. Learn how to pull them off consistently without full concentration (i.e. eyes closed, watching another match, talking to someone, making out with girlfriend, etc.).
Even with practice, people will still drop combos, miss links etc. The biggest tip I can give here, is to not feel like a dropped combo is the end of the world! Keep fighting and keep your head in the match! It’s still possible to clutch a win without your biggest, flashiest, most-hype combo. :tup:
I’ll be going to the BoB Easy Quals…I’ll see you fools tom
Since I actually know how to play the game now, I can see that it’s pretty neat…
Some of my SF knowledge is making it over, so that really helps my game…
Still, I’m pretty sure I’m a BBCS noob, regardless.
THAT SAID, TVC was a cool game, but at this point, I’d rather wait for MVC3, to be honest.
That said, see you next week man!
I have this habit of turning away from the screen in disgust everytime I miss Jab Jab Roundhouse…
It’s a terrible habit that people shouldn’t do; lawlz.
I’m mostly doing BLAZBLUE tomorrow, so it’s up to y’all to hold up the STREET FIGHTER portion of the meet!
(or I can run from one setup to the next every 20 minutes; whatever works)
I usually bring enough stress and hype for several people; FUNKIE, where is the video of me running around the shop?
The UPDATED BERKELEY EUDEMONIA thread
Just got bbcs today and really should have been consistently playing ct prior to cs being released.Stupid ssf4 and its lenient inputs and shortcuts.
Hey just seeing whats going on for Tomorrow i’ll be in Berkeley this Saturday = ) anything going on?
I’m gonna be at EUDEMONIA from 3-10PM; check the opening post for the map thing.
Hope to see you tomorrow!
Interestingly, the downward X2 input works for shoryuken in this game…
But, yes, inputs here are definitely stricter…
k i’m gonna go to Eudemonia for sure tomorrow i’ll see everyone thats gonna be there = )
Yeah, we’re doing it every week now from 3-10PM; this way, you don’t have to end up going home late to Richmond and stuff.
See you tomorrow, man.
we will see you there tomorrow agentTungsten
woohoo, more people! look forward to having you agentTungsten!
Oh shit guys!
I need to download the BLAZBLUE DLC…
Mainly because I’m too lazy to play through story mode and unlock the character…
I should also consider labeling my hard drive…
I’d be down on playing some TvC. I don’t know know how things work at EU, but I could bring my console and have a setup there. I use 2 PS2 converters to play with a stick, but I only have one stick and a PS2 pad. Although I dont know how many people would be interested in playing TvC tomorrow, since BBCS is out and many (including me ;P) will want to play that. Still, if anyone is willing to play tomorrow or any other week, I’d be happy to bring my setup.
There currently is no system in place for people to bring their own setups; we’re stuck with X-Boxes at least until the DUSTLOOP tournament happens and the store sorts out its policies with bringing setups (we don’t actually need the store’s consoles… we need the space to play in)…
That said, you’re more than welcome to show up for some BLAZBLUE: CS tomorrow.
Okay…
Downloading Mu now…
EDIT:
OH SHIT I HAS MU WITH NO EFFORT.
Wow, this character is kinda fucking cool.
Is heading there now.
I probably wont be able to make it back here for a while, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone that I played with. The highlight for me had to have been that intense money match I had with Balrog player.
Drabog: Those were some good games we got in at the very end.
Yes they were =]
Good games man, come back someday!
GGs to everyone this. I dropped a lot of links but I feel like I’m getting better fundamentally.
Oh, I went to check out the shadowbrooke games tourney. I got owned pretty hard (got only one win in casuals, dropped every link, 0-2, QQs ), but it was great seeing top-level action in person.
Must train moar…
Had a great time myself hopefully i’ll be at EU next Saturday, I told my friends so maybe we will have more show up
