Thanks to Dream and StoryTeller running a great scheduled tournament. Should be recommended for majors.
Appreciate the props for the MvC win and always enjoy myself in Nashville. Good shit to Astroboy and Xbox Kinect. Memphis went strong this time. I need that hat Squabble had on.
Gdbell- Lol told you I was slaw.
KrazKorean- Hell yeah GG is still the game and LMFAO did I really say I wanna go home?? in the middle of the tourney??? damn
Astroboy- You’re a beast as well bro and yeah I like originality of my team plus I’ve always liked them my whole life.
Also. People who think and I heard say the only reason I won because of the Cap?? NOTE! He isn’t good he is just a MvC3 character now… I have been played/originated him and been Winning with him. So STFU!
GGs to errrrrbody in AE and Gear. My SF4 skillz (or my lack of on most days…) makes me super bad in Gear. Special oldskool shoutout to Rukus and his Snowtempkin for raping me … I really miss that game :<
Shoutouts to Zaxby’s.Negro Justice for taking AE and I_Wanna_Go_Home.ShinBlade for taking Marvel. Big shoutouts to Memphis, Kentuky, Bama for stopping by for this tourney. Great seeing all the old faces as usual and meeting new ones. My apologizes for not hanging out more, but I had to jet for another gathering back in Murfreesboro. I really wish I could go to the Bama tourney, but that’s the weekend before my finals start… We should all definitely kick it more in the near future.
Special shoutouts to Astaroth >:] I finally beat you in a FUCKING video game. I can die with whatever little content and dignity that I have left in me… But much love though, dude. Everything we say is for shits and giggles. You’re still fucking scary in every video game that you touch. Keep playing AE! We need that Hawk exp :>
Also, beware of Patrick in UMvC3… I’m sure most of you guys know he’s sick in this game, but this is just a fair preemptive warning…
LOL look at Bishop getting mad. Guess I better be careful what I say. “Watch your mouth”. Get that out here slaw. I honestly could sit here and go on a “TN Thread” roast about you and your ways…but I won’t. But I will say this…
The reason I said something about your performance, is because I find it…strange…that you are one of the main ones that come in here and say that the Memphis scene needs to “level up” or “stop complaining” and basically be more like you when it comes to your approach to the game. Welp…
If we did that, we would lose to people who don’t even play the games we play and we would CONSISTENTLY place low in tournaments we attend. But hey, you created “team Viscant” before Viscant did right? So I suppose that makes you special. LOL yep.
You have also gone on record stating that you needed to move to Cali in order to get adequate comp. I honestly can say that is one of the most ridiculous statements anyone in this thread has said outside of of me. You need more comp…but you can’t beat the comp you already have?..lol
We won’t even get on your dodging skills in Street Fighter. You said you could “train” people that wanted training in that game and that you could play half the cast decently, but once someone relevant wants to play you in a set, you turn into Mayweather and start ducking fools. You all of a sudden are a Marvel exclusive player. Clown
See, the difference between you and I is, I know how terrible I am. I have come to terms with that. And its people like you who swear I do nothing to try and improve. Yet its the people in this very forum that don’t say much that give me the most guidance. Just saying.
As for me coming to GG. One day soon. I am a man of my word and I said that I would start traveling more once I became employed so, I will show up to one of these tournies.
KOF in general? Or just XIII? Lol, let’s just talk about XIII. And the answer would be yes. Coincidentally, the only games I fuck with on that level (T6/GGAC/soon to be XIII) have been “balanced to an extent”. Meaning that there’s obvious tiers and stronger characters, but on paper, every single character is viable and capable of winning.
Everyone was viable in arcade version, even with the overpowered characters. And with the changes made to console, it looks to be even better. I actually like how they went about balancing. Where other developers simply try to nerf the top tiers to hell and improperly buff the underused characters, SNK/Atlus did somehting else. Take Raiden for example. That dropkick was a problem, plain and simple. You had fuckers using Raiden just for it. Ok console change they nerfed dropkick, but also buffed Raiden in other ways to where the tier whores would drop him, but the players that always liked him or grapplers would love to explore and use him as a character. With Mai, she was an underused character in arcade simply because of her damage output, and as a zoning/tricky archetype, her moves didn’t really reflect that. They changed her to make her the good zoner she always was, gave her ways to get damage, and the overall gimmicky, tricky playstyle that she’s known for. Prob still won’t be top tier, but she’s not supposed to be. I could go on and on, but some of the developer logs are cool to read and alot of the changes just make fucking sense.
However, shit could get lost in translation, like these new patches could make a pleasant experience, or over time possibly create a whole new monster. Who knows? But in the arcade version, there were tiers and still every character was viable. And in many KOFs people usually play whoever they want anyway.
You prefer charge characters right? Well in that regard, you would’ve been good to go anyway.
Oh shit. New info and vid on other DLC aka pocket-whore characters.
Chris Brown, remember when I told you to use Takuma? Yea nigga, Mr. Karate is as close as we’ll probably ever be getting to Butt again lol.
EX/NESTS/White jacket Kyo’s neo max
Notes:
gained f+A command attack, canned 3 hit leftrightleft punch that is comboable into and from.
Ko’oh-ken is KOF2k2 Takuma style. Both A and C vers will combo. C ver does not guardcrush.
C ver Ko’oh-ken has a ‘followup dash’ (doubletap forward) that lets you cancel the recovery with a short dash forward… corner combo fun here.
C ver Kohou (dp+C) is brakable (A+B to brake).
new move, Hakyoujin (qcb+P), which is a high or low Geese style counter.
regained Shorankyaku (hcb+K) knee rush, with all properties from KOF98.
Hienshippukyaku (hcf+K) is an AIR MOVE only.
DM’s are HSKK, Ryukoranbu, and Marco’s big shiny uppercut from Garou MOTW.
Mr. Karate’s neo max
Notes:
ex Kototsuki is no longer a command grab, it’s a short rush and grab. He does not have the Hikigane (boo).
df+D 1hit no longer cancellable
close C, f+B combos, and is comboable from ala KOF2k1. This will be his main combo starter.
ex Oniyaki does not rise into the air, and only hits 6 times vs 10 from regular Kyo
ex firefist is the Dokugami (qcf+C) and the final dp+C hit has the properties of the ex Oniyaki
lost Air Orochinagi
Gained Mu Shiki, cB, cA, Mu Shiki works ala KOF97/98
Neomax IS comboable from close C, f+B, regardless of how the startup looks.
75 Kai (qcf+K,K) is no longer automatic, both K’s must be manually input like in old KOF. Range of the move is far shorter than regular Kyo, and it comes out slower like in KOF2k. You can drivecancel it from qcf+C for jugglefuns.
Man fuck Rock. Even though if XIII was built around him being the main character it’d get way more sales based off that fact alone. Then folks wanting Geese but only like 3 people, excluding those of foreign descent, know how to play with him.
They put Billy in console version. He needs a team. This should’ve greenlit Yamazaki and my girl Blue Mary. So many cool as characters in this franchise, but I love to see Vanessa and Yamazaki getting played. Vanessa with a XIII sprite, sways, dash punches, and Rog’s SF4 crouch jab would be bawse. And Blue Mary in HD? Omg. Who needs Mai teasing when we got a LEGIT JIGGLE?
Pure chargers are Ash, and mostly Leona. Then the hybrids are Raiden, Mai, Robert, Ralf, Clark, and I think that’s it this game. Alot of the charge moves have been done away with over time anyway or they flip flop between games. I thought Saiki was a charge chara, but he’s not. That’s a cool way to further differentiate him from Ash.
Good games to everyone yesterday, nice to meet the Memphis people, don’t know if I actually got to bullshit with the guys from Alabama. Look forward to coming to Memphis for some blues and bruises soon. Good shit in the mirror Squab, in the lab working on some of those setups now.
Also, Eddie, I make my AE match-ups on the Spinal Tap scale, shit goes to 11, and me versus you is 9-2 in my favor.
Yo that’s what I’ve been sayin’ man, I’ve never played KoF but if I were to get into XIII I’d play the shit out of Joe. I have no idea who else I’d play though.
… I really miss that game :<
