UCSD 3rd Strike is now DEAD. RIP

That doesn’t make me any happier. I’m just glad that I can’t be 100% stunned with it as Q.

I’m randomly in San Diego. Call me up if you guys want to play 3rd strike. 626-672-9874.

Do one of you play the Makoto that gets extremely high grades on the arcade?

No, but I know who does. And in reality he’s just abusing the AI, he even admits it himself to me. What you should be looking for are the vs grades. A different person got A++ w/ Sean this friday. However, a friend picked makoto after he lost so it will show her instead of Sean.

But you sound like you live on campus. Next time, you should come over when I’m hosting. Although, it’s understandable that you didn’t because this friday was Sungod. But still, if you want to join us, feel free to contact me. My cell # is floating around in the last few pages, grab it and just call.

Also, I’m pretty sure we can play other fighting games besides 3s. 3s all day makes us want to play other games after a while. I’m hoping to grab gg AC+ for ps2 soon.

I see, do you live on campus?

I’m that freshman dude, lol… who sometimes show up with Ken, but i suck.

Thanks for the GGs the other day.

No problem iwst. Remy rushdown is serious business.

And hdskull, I actually don’t live on campus. You say you pick ken, but that’s not really a distinguishable trait because there are a lot of people who play ken. Trying to go through faces of ken players, but I don’t think I’m doing a good job at the moment.

random hugos actually require a bit of thinking to beat
#1) don’t go for the mix up, don’t do like a tick into command grab
#2) don’t do a low short into ex overhead, they can super you out of that
#3) don’t bother doing anything on their wake up, becuase they’ll probably just wake up super

instead stick to basic moves.
abuse the axe kick.
do like a jump in fierce, into fierce -> ex hayate (it’s safe on your part)
standing back roundhouse is good against hugo cause of the range

basically mixups only work against people who “know” what they’re doing, cause you’re constantly making them guess.
but if it’s just like a hugo smasher, stick to the basics :slight_smile:

Something tells me that you have nothing for Q.

thanks for the tipppppos.

i think the tips apply to any hugo, good or not.

running into a few of hugos on GGPO (yeah, yeah x]), i soon realized that i have to fight it like Chun vs Zangief in SFIV. mostly a game of keep-away

can’t abuse the post-hayate (mak’s dash punch) mix-up because they usually have a 360 or worse waiting for me. can’t do anything on their wake-up, even from lk-kara range, because gigas will get me. x]
i guess i should bait the 360 on their wake-up… somehow. they won’t do it unless i’m near, obviously. haha

i’ve run into some crazy hugo shit, though. it’s probably surprising to me only because i have no experience against it. dash-up gigas is probably the one i hate the most. another annoying one is intentionally whiffing a throw, and using it to buffer the 720. i fell for that one a lot. haha

the hugo match-up has become less of an issue though. i’m getting there.
but the one i want to work on now is Oro. man… all i’ve come up with so far is dun jump at him unless you’re ready parry. lol

^EDIT^
and it’s nice to see you still check on us, dmc. x]

He checks on us to make sure we’re not slacking.

Oh yeah, 3s again this week, my place, on friday. Same time. may or may not make a pizza again, depends.

Might try making tacos or something. I’m making them tonight to see if it works out at all.

yo donutholes.
sorry i didn’t get to your call. my sleep schedule is… well it’s not “normal” right now.

anyway, i am planning to go tomorrow. but can i meet you up at the shuttle spot or something again? lol. time to meet up?

i’m also planning to bring my friend along so we can discuss what’s gonna happen with the living situation.

Sanwa Tekken 5 Stick available.
UCSD Special $100

I’ll be at UCSD monday afternoon around 12 if people are down for some games.

yeah, we can meet up at the shuttle again, but this time at near 4 pm. I don’t really want to skip classes continually.

At the moment though, you’re the only confirmed person who’s coming. I haven’t seen the other people this week.

And yeah we can make tacos. But i know you don’t like mexican, so maybe i’ll make something else.

i’ll see you there.
i don’t mind being the only one there.
i’d just imagine the matches would get a bit dull because i only know how to play one character somewhat well. lol
and dun even worry about accomodating my tastes for food, dude. seriously… x]
just make what you want to make and leave it at that.

Will anyone be at the arcade during finals week? I’ll be back in SD for a short time.

yo odnas. so you’re not actually from around campus?

lol, i was wondering why i haven’t seen you in awhile!
but hmmm, at the arcade during finals week. i’m not quite sure if that’s gonna fly.
maybe, i’ll have to get back you. i only have two finals during finals week, but i’m still debating how seriously i should take them. x]

oh, and big thank you to Donutholes for hosting yet another good session.
you good at Guilty Gear Mike? we can give Accent Core + a test since i have it.
i’m totally n00b to GG and still can’t get into it. maybe you can give me a more proper introduction. ;p

Hahah no, I graduated and moved back to San Jose, and now I’m coming back for graduation. Damn, finals week is the worst time to come back for some games. haah. Anyway I assume I’ll be pretty busy, but I’ll stop by the arcade randomly as often as possible to see if I can get some games in.

Mike is hosting games?! WHOAA! I sorta know where he lives! I guess I’ll go stalk his place. haha.

Good luck with finals everyone!

I’m fairly good at GG, as in I know most BnB combos against most chars. Once I’m locked down though, there isn’t much I can do. It doesn’t help that I play as Johnny, the bottom tier char of AC.

AND YES COME VISIT US ODNAS. Are you already down here? We can arrange games before finals week too.

I don’t want to host on Friday at end of finals because my dad is coming down that night and I don’t want him to know that I have two arcade sticks. Probably gonna hide the ps2 also.

We can aim for an earlier time, but even then it depends on how we’re all doing on finals.
