You haven’t met me yet Keith, because I wasn’t here for labor day, but we’ll post about our next gathering so you can come. I’m sure we’ll be playing SFAC, ST, and Slash, probably Melty Blood too, if you’re into that. I might even play some VF4 Evo with you, though it’s been a long time.
Oro combos are fun AND easy. Hooray! Not that I’m playing him, I just though they would be harder.
Yeah oro’s combos are pretty easy, not ken easy but you know. I just got my copy of Melty Blood and Garou in today!!! Any games today??? Tomorrow???
Lemmi know.
Garou Mark of the Wolves? Awesome, I have not played that in a long time.
oro’s combos may be easy but try getting them off in game…
id be up for shaking the VF4Evo rust off with Lau
also scott, jerry told me to go to you for some Eddie love, im going to try and learn him and make him my main, sol just isnt doing it for me anymore…dustloop is good but most of the posts are more advanced strats, i need more basic B&B stuff
Have fun with eddie, he seems pretty hard to play.
Drew your right about that with oro.
Hey i play tekken 5, how many of the people on your floor play?
Ok… well either I can post up some stuff or I can just show you some time.
Well, I’ll post up some basic stuff here first.
Most important thing about Eddie: you control the shadow by button releases only, never button presses. So you can’t get sloppy. You have to know when you press and release the buttons, so you don’t accidentally get the wrong move.
Your game is pretty much going to revolve around getting the shadow out. The easiest and most crucial is after a knockdown. But it takes a bit to understand how you should do it.
The usual way to summon is after a knockdown BnB, like
5K, c.S, 2D, summon
After this, you’d want to do a buzzsaw as they wake up. But if you summon with 236K, the buzzsaw will OTG them and fuck your pressure up. So the correct way is to summon with H (236H), quickly release H so you don’t get big drill, and while you’re in recovery from the summon, hold down K. Once the opponent gets up, release K and buzzsaw starts.
It looks like this:
5K, c.S, 2D, 236 tap H, hold K, release K, pressure
Other important things: H invite hell ( the far drill) is your best friend. Poke with…
2P, 2S, H drill
It won’t combo, but it’s fast and has great range. FRC H drill and dash in to start pressure.
That’s it for now, I’ll show you more stuff in person I guess.
eddie isn’t easy to learn by any means. to be honest, you can’t go any easier than sol. if you want “easy” in rudimental terms, you should look at slayer and jam, but even with that it will take you months to become competent. i was also gonna say ky, but i know scott hates the idea of having more ky players (stephane and i used to play him a lot too). so yea leave the frenchman alone, haha.
it’s okay though. most people start out as sol players.
and i could play tomorrow but only after 5 or so. thursday i’m free all afternoon until 7.
EDIT: scott beat me to it. fuck.
and james… fuck nero, son!!
Ive been practicin Nero my friend! More elks coming at ya. Im free tommorow after 1.
Update: If no one else wants to id be glad to host some casuals at my place friday. Just lemme know.
going to chicago this weekend.
also, did you guys know tom hank’s brother is a faculty at our school?
yah, his name is Dr. Larry Hanks. He teaches an entomology class, and he does research in insect ecology and behavior. He also has written a bunch of books, and won a bunch of awards for his work too.
im not looking for an ‘easy’ char in eddie, just a more interesting one than sol…just some variety, like how its boring to use ryu in SF2 and SF3 AND SFA3 AND MVC2 AND CVS2 etc etc
are you calling sol boring?
only when im not good with anyone else 
if you think he’s boring, i dont know what games you’ve been playing…
we all know dizzy is the best.
besides, when i was talking about difficulty i was referring to a rudimental level… as in “learning”, but not “competing” or “winning”. so yea we all joke about sol being gay and chun li being a dirty whore, but a lot of that stuff goes out the window once you get to a higher level of play.
^^Exactly.
Anyone still wanna get some casuals in soooooon?
i said i’d be free at tomorrow at 5 because i was gonna go to the bank, then best buy. but if people want to play early in the afternoon, i’d show up at 3. and as previously stated, i’m totally free on thursday afternoon until 7.
lol, Humbag hungry for GAMES
I’m free tomorrow at 5. I’ll game anywhere. VF4: Evo!!
