what with is this 3 in the morning posting chris D:?
Anyway, I got a midterm this wednesday, but after that I should be free. I think Odnas and I might be meeting up after on that day, so stay tuned I guess.
ggs to (i’m guessing) donutholes, the dudley player, and the ryu player.
when i played that dudley, a smile just went across my face. that shit was sick. x]
as for the ryu player, i really admire his willingness to come back and fight again, as well as experiment with different stuff. can someone tell him how to stop makoto’s shenanigans? before he left, he said, “i can’t stop that grab man.” and i wanted to give him an answer, but i didn’t really know what to say. i dun know how to stop it myself. haha.
but yeah, nice playing you guys today.
definitely after my midterm tomorrow, i’m pretty much free.
so just say what’s going to happen.
and greencraft should get his ass back into the arcade sometime, so our intense matches will make the machine shut off. haha.
Jump. or shoryu.
dash back -> low forward super!
Damnit, Andy was there (dudley player)?
I feel like I haven’t seen him in ages.
And yeah, ggs flight. I keep thinking that your roomie is you though. When I saw you I was like “-wait a minute, i’m not remembering something D:”
I tend to have bad memory.
are these tips still applicable on wake up against a tick standing strong to karakusa? if they get put into the block stun by the standing strong, what are their options to escape the karakusa coming after?
it’s too hard for me to get the grab without ticking into it. people wise-up.
i’ve been seeing some people consistently get out of my tick set-ups though.
which is good… i rely on them a little too much.
(i dun know much about technical stuff in this game, like what to do in tick situations or whatnot. i sort of just play, so pardon the n00bish question up top if it is one.)
so Andy’s the Dudley player. that guy is fresh. the first round of the 1st match we played, i had a stupid smile plastered across my face as he had me in a long ass Dudley juggle. i wish he stuck around longer (he did tear up me and that Ryu for a LONG time before i was able to come up with a match against him).
hmmm… i think the best way to distinguish me and my roommate… would be to look at the hair. my hair is significantly longer than my roommate Jonathan’s. but that won’t be so after spring break. so i’m guessing you’ll end up getting confused again. haha.
yes you can still jump out of the karakusa after the tick (whether it be crouching short, standing jab, or medium punch), you can also shoryu out of it, (you can probably shoryu out of the world)
it is hard to get a command grab for makoto without the tick, but once you do it too much, it becomes predictable for the opponent and they can just jump out of it.
so i mean you need to mix it up with tick , jump forward strong punch/kick
another thing you could work on is the range of makoto’s command grab
if you do it with strong kick, it’s the slowest, but it has the furthest range, try practicing, the range is definitely deceiving
thanks for the info about the tick to karakusa set-up. i remember playing a makoto down here that would set me up in a different way (cr. forward to karakusa, blocked j. forward to karakusa) to how i set up my opponents. i couldn’t stop it. at least now, the knowledge is in my mind that i dun just have to sit there with the block stun.
one thing i’ve been trying to integrate is the dash up s. jab to karakusa.
i’ve seen Sextaro do it a few times and it looks cool when it lands. x]
with the people i’ve been playing lately, i challenge their wake-up less and less. it’s where i’m used to getting most of my damage though. x]
but, it’s at least forced me to focus more on poking and watching distances.
anyway, the o-chem midterm was most likely a disaster.
i may have to drown my sorrows away in the arcade.
today’s the day to get even easier wins off me guys! ;p
come at 6pmish? I have a 5pm discussion and I think there is a study session afterward that I’m attending so I’ll be there for a bit. I believe that DMC is coming too, so even more reason to show up.
And yeah. Andy loves to juggle people. If you were playing Makoto, there is no doubt that he tried to do that lift juggle on you x4 because it does combo. In a sense he’s a lil predictable that he’ll go for it after a knockdown quite a bit, but he gets scary when he starts not doing it lol.
i hope you guys are planning to stay after 6:30pm.
i have class until 6:20pm.
i COULD leave early, but i probably won’t. hope to see you guys there!
basically with makoto you want to put people in 50/50’s between either jumping (to avoid getting grabbed) and blocking (to avoid getting hit), you do this by doing hayates/mixups so they feel like they have to block.
make you opponent scared to get hit, then grab them, kill them. or do the exact opposite. easy.
i will be there at around 6:15
btw whatever letbloodrun said was right 
ggs to all of you tonight (dmc, donutholes, and tall asian guy who left to buy food).
great way to get my mind off this crappy midterm day.
dmc, you are ridiculous. x]
definitely showed me that my makoto is still a little n00blet.
hope to keep playing you guys so that my game doesn’t stay like this.
thanks for any and all the advice you guys leave.
i used to be ridiculous, then i met letbloodrun…
BLASPHEMY
but yeah, until i meet letbloodrun, you’re probably still the best player i’ve gone up against.
chrislionheart is pretty good. he could take my yun
When I first started, I remember it took me 24 tries to beat him. It was on the 25th try that I won, and he gave me that quarter cuz i ran out lol.
aye, enough of this 3s talk, that game is 10 years old, time for some “a new beginning”
i dunno, man.
to be TOTALLY honest, when i play IV, i always think, “this is not as good as 3S.”
i’m not saying IV is bad… but it doesn’t have the magic that 3S gave me.
haha, i guess now i know how those Super Turbo guys feel when people tell them how old their game is. x]
hey youre my new best friend.
