So tired. -_-
Sinus problems, feeling like shit, completely exhausted, yadda yadda yadda but had a blast yesterday. Shoutouts to old and new friends alike. I’d post more but I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Gonna go watch the season finale of MLP and/or play Maid-San’s Caving Adventure, then pass out again.
Where was Glasscock yesterday? Legally changing his name to Glasscock-Adamantiumballs?
Same, of course I downloaded the beta.
i use chrome.
God, I woke up at 1:30 today.
Jacob S. : Trounced me with solidarity. Good games, dude. I’ll be at the next Bowling Green tourney, I want a rematch
Shinblade: Loving the avengers team: Good games, I want a rematch
w00t: It’s cool, dude, no one gives a fuck about Marvel.
Chris B.: <3, dammit.
Eddie: Thanks for letting us crash, dude. If you really want to learn Marvel, I’d be happy to teach you the little I know.
Duckie: What the shit, we didn’t even get to play. Probably my fault for dicking around with AE so much.
Astaroth: I was so bummed to see you drop MODOK to begin with, dude. I love watching him troll the unwashed. Good games, I know I’ll see you at the next one.
FlyMike: I was polishing up my MK game to show you I could take three steps out of the comfort bubble and crack my knuckles at the basics, and we didn’t even get to play. Again, probably just me screwing around with AE too much. I’ll catch you at the next Memphis tourney.
Jacob F.: herk Bison mirrors. It’s like watching a slowed down video of Chevy Chase compare color swatches.
Shawn: Well, I’ll see you before you leave, so I’ll just save it till then.
gg’s to everyone I played.
Im currently viewing the internet through an oscilloscope and a dot-matrix printer.
Is this a good idea?
Buying an xbox 360 (Hard drive, controller) from somebody for 60 bucks and then trading said xbox for a ps3 almost immediately after purchasing it.
Backfire possibilities… High? (I’m thinking high)
With my luck this thing’s got some crazy RROD type thing or something.
Getting a 80gb ps3 for 60 bucks ain’t bad though, am I right? If I’m lucky it’s a slim, If I’m crazy lucky it’s a backwards compatible fattty.
Also: Derp.
Happy Mom’s Day to Crystal.
B-Day, Happy to Andrew. No more juvie for the arsonist. They’re going to haul your ass straight to the pen now.
Gonna do a small shoutout because I JUST got off work from going in at 8a and currently running on energy shot fumes from 3 days ago of being awake. I am a complete dumbass yet I am awesome for having not collapsed yet. So I’m going to hibernate after I post this. Good shit to everyone yesterday. Was mad fun and nice seeing peeps again. Hate we couldn’t stay but I plan to smash out there one more time before Shawn sails away, or Cody moves.
Asshole portion of post: About MK tourney, I…should’ve won. YES. Fuck you. Mighty Joe Trung smoked me out 1st round. Now Trung is a good player in any game he touches, but Smoke is my bitch. I can honestly say I played that set with nothing in me, energy shot didn’t kick in yet, and I was just on the screen to get it kicked. Had I beaten him, he probably would’ve ran Mustard the whole tourney(as he should’ve) and a bunch of hype matches would’ve popped off throughout. Later on I ran into Cale. I’ve always known Cale was a con-artist. The way he greets you with the utmost respect and shakes your hand, it’s all warm, all the time. Then he picks Raiden. Point blank: I cannot beat Raiden in this game right now. No matter who is using him. I swear. Him and Jake are Double Dragon brothers about that shit. Whole day I pictured them standing back to back in leather jackets and shoulder pads, drawn in old NES art. Fuck you.
EDIT: Just saw Jake’s post. He got me twisted now. Now imma have to do an educational ‘cool story bro’. I’m not gonna say anything that folks don’t really know, I’m just going to break it down. Jake knows this shit too. But what I don’t wanna hear are the “in a perfect world, return of the jedi” replies from people about how you have to play tedious blow out your brain style against him. Because I’m not about to grow Simpson eyes just to see the matrix and save myself once from the bs that occurs multiple times in a match.
As good(or stupid, whichever your prefer) as Raiden is, the only issue that’s crippling to the point of insanity is his teleport. Now I should’ve been peeped bs weeks ago, because it doesn’t even go “WOLM” like it used to. Now it makes a faint poot sound. Thats the cue that shit is about to get stanky like girl farts. And by the time you hear it he’s already doing some old man lazy drunk shit on you. But seriously, naked teleports in a match you can uppercut if you’re jesus, or just jab on reaction, cuz he’s prob gonna go into a string. But this is the mixup from that. Once you start hitting him outta teleport, he’s gonna tele->superman and that’s airtight. So it’s fucked up, he tele and your expect superman so you block to punish, and get grabbed. Or you expect a string so you jab and get OHMAHFUCKINGAWD across the screen. Don’t get smart and try to block all day either. Lazycrazyman strings don’t have a problem eating your life away. Another unfair mixup is you can jab him after last hit in order to disrupt multiple strings. Congrats. Next time that last hit is blocked, before that fist even extends, you’re gonna get OHMAHFUCKINGAWD across the screen. Not to mention that he can stop any of his shit and go into teleport at any time.
Ok, so you got a knockdown on Raiden. Yes! Um…no. Raiden doesn’t have to respect wakeup. You can bitch about Kung Lao all you want but Kung Lao still has to respect mixups and wakeups. He can wakeup with spin all he wants, but after he spins that one faithful time and it’s blocked, and you dash up and unload on his ass, you’ve created 2nd thoughts and opportunity. Hey, we can play this game! But against Raiden? Dude doesn’t care about knockdowns. Your mixups? Nigga please. Dude has wakeup teleport. That’s his mixup, only it’s not a mixup, it’s a “you’re fucked once again”. Sure you can bait it. Why sure you can! Then punish him for something if you guess right and he doesn’t cancel into another teleport or 3,3,4, interuptable with random OHMAHFUCKINGAWDS. Or infamous B+3,1,2. You choose to punish this after last hit on block you better pray. If he chooses to go immediately into shock after last hit and you’re not blocking, smh. Or if you choose to block after last hit and he goes into shock, who the fuck cares! He’s safe! Get ready for a teleport, B+3,1,2, grab, or pause "hey why you lookin at me-OHMAHFUCKINGAWD!
Last big thing is, if you catch Raiden slipping, you got all your little youtube, front page combos, a glimmer of hope! Hey man…Raiden doesnt care about your combos. Your combos don’t mean shit. You’re a pussy. Know why? Raiden ALWAYS has meter. At least 2 stocks at any given time to breaker any ray of sunshine you thought you had and pound your head. Quick. With Raiden comes lots of teleports. Teleports build meter to the point of insanity. Kung Lao gets a fuckton of meter too due to his aggressive style, but he actually has to work for it. Trust, Raiden will have orange kool-aid at the bottom of the screen forever. If one day you don’t see orange kool-aid at the bottom of the screen you prob just caught an x-ray. Yea…you caught it. No need for him to risk one. He’s too safe with unlimited mixup. Whether it was before a combo, or naked raw, if he did it, you got GOT nigga!
That’s the lesson for today. And if NRS has the decency or cares as much about competitive balance as they’ve preached, then consider your homeboy patched. Then Jake, either you can love him through thick and thin or toss it up with someone new. Thing is, even if they touch dude’s teleport, he’ll STILL be really good. And that’s cool. I wanna see charas with dumb shit, but as it stands now, one of them forces you to play a game OTHER than MK.
So yea in Super Mortal Kombat 9 we get to choose x-rays, Zombie Dee Jay, Raiden gets an Angry Scar where he has to grab his nipple for 1.5 seconds before he can do completely safe teleports. Then in Mortal Kombat 9 Arcade Edition we get Oni Raiden and under certain conditions on the hardest difficulty you get a secret fight against original MK9 Raiden. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING! Presented by Cap-OHMAHFUCKINGAWD.
When’s next MK tourney? Yea I’m heated. I’ll even bring my gf in an outfit with no pockets to help out for a bit if it’ll bring Jason from behind the counter shining quarters.
Yea Cody told me lol. It’s all good. Next time I’ll have to bring a set-up and put it in the middle of the mall by the “toothpick sample fiends” and you, me, and whoever else is gonna sit on bean bags, play MK and Tekken, and vibe out. I didn’t get to get at a few people I wanted to play yesterday. AE is a bug zapper, understandably so.
Also late congrats bro!
P.S. Lmao because Marcus still calls you Boomstick. At this point, his brain has locked, just like with “Marville” and “Kong Law”. Boomstick is who you will always be to him. Forever.
While I always love to rain on you guys’ X-cock parades any chance I get, at the same time I’d tell you think a sec. Personally, I wouldn’t ever get a used PS3 or even a shiny slim PS3 from someone. I don’t know it’s history, and YLOD and BRLOD episodes are nasty. That motherboard is really something to be tampering with. I haven’t had any probs from the slim I bought around this same time last year, but i was so tired of dealing with my fatty that I sold it to Powerplay for $11. For parts. But all that shit inside there was fried after we got done with it. Maybe a midget is sliding down a hill on it somewhere. Be careful is all I’m saying. All this hardware is shiesty.
Don’t worry. He’ll be trolling your ass with 8-9 cube combos very soon. He’ll then teabag you with his… chair.
I’ve always wanted to do one of these for Wolverine, Magneto, or Wesker. But, it’s MvC3, so people expect bullshit.
Cody beasting at MK? nice.
Was there a Tekken tournament?
This might be old to some, and if you don’t at least smile at this you have no soul.
[media=youtube]ErMWX–UJZ4&feature=related[/media]
People expect bullshit for MK all day. Bullshit is cool. Wolvie shit is stupid I agree. Lvl3 Wolvie running at you I just close my eyes. But Raiden is a virus. Trust.
What’s Tekken?
sounds like you didn’t uppercut enough mike.
Man I totally agree with FlyMike about the teleport sound effect. They need to get that patched in ASAP.
I’d still play him if they nerfed him. I wanted to play him before I saw the game because I think he is a pretty cool guy.
When I was a kid I wanted one of those hats. I finally got one and it made me look real stupid.
All I do with him is random bullshit mixups. 
I don’t understand the rest of the game well enough yet… I don’t know what to do when pressured with shit, I’m not sure what I can do to punish after blocked combos (doesn’t seem like much) so i just try and keep the pressure on them.
I think my tendency is to mash out more random shit the more flustered I get. That’s a bad thing in other fighters, but it seems Raiden works well with that.
Mike: That’s why top 3 in the game are Kung Lao/Raiden/Shang Tsung.
I mean, it was painfully obvious back when we did that tier list but then everyone started ripping on me like I didn’t know shit about the game…I have very little Vs mode time in the game other than online and playing against Cody and Jacob and Rob and Richard and I’ve played Cody and Jacob probably more than those guys (which still isn’t much) but tools were there for characters and how the game is settled.
I mean, Raiden is a pain, but seriously, Kung Lao with EX armor mixups where you can hit him and he’s like Colossus with free combo? Jade has something similar and it was nerfed to a 2 second time period. I mean, it’s obvious those two characters are stupid silly right now. If someone would use Shang correctly then he would be up there too, but that’s just how it is.
It’s fine by me, I play Smoke/NW/Raiden/Liu Kang so whatever; game is what it is.
All I have to say is if you play Kung Lao/Raiden you can’t complain about those two not having every weapon in the book…seriously. LOL…but if you want to fight Raiden use Kabal, he’s got some stupid dirty shit too and is in the top 6 but right now Kung Lao and Raiden are clear top 2 until Shang players wake up.
Kabal is my main. I used Smoke for a week at release because not many people knew about his shenanigans and it worked pretty well, and I’m only using Raiden in Vegas because he is straight butter on that dumb PDP stick. Raiden is beastly but he isn’t really my playstyle. I’ve only been sitting on him JUST for pdp tourney.
Cale, that was a sexy mirror match at the tourney, damn I was almost sweating.
After Vegas, its right back to Kabal.
oh, Mike, Raiden? You have to do what we all are doing. Deal with it.
…or switch to kung lao.
Why do you people play broken and undiversed games like MK where its just Kung Lao/Raiden/Smoke tier whores or AE with its Yun fest?
Yall should play Marvel, the most BALANCED and DIVERSED fighting of all time. Fact.
Also, ggs to everyone at Abe’s. Dax, you have rabies from Ammy. Justin, you have the T-Virus. Abe, you got caged…sorta. Josh, you sux.
