UIUC Thread Part IV: BBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR

Girls just wanna have gun(s)!!

dude, that sucked…i had my internet turned off for a few days. little bit of advice, guys: PAY YOUR BILLS!! clearly, they aren’t playing around when they send notices…lol

well I may be up for some game, for like an hour, althought my girl-friend is keeping in bed, I think I can find an hour to play, just let me know when…

Chris if you don’t like me playing Sol switch character man, holy shit, you are like the only one on our team who plays the same character all the time. if you learned sol or some other character, maybe you will have less tendencies of complaining and thereforeo less chance of me call you a loser again, for throwing your controller.

Seriously man think about it

i like playing with glowsticks and dudley 0_o

No one ever accused Stephane of being subtle, but he does have a point, although he didn’t put it in very kind terms.

Ignoring for a second that I had 3 business characters before I settled on Ky, I was getting really tired of losing with Ky in #R (turns out that was mostly because 1) I sucked, and 2) Aaron played Millia, who was like super-broken against Ky in #R). So then I went through a period where I played several other characters as my “business”, such as Jam, Zappa, and Robo-Ky. Although I eventually went back to Ky closer to the end of #R, playing other characters and literally NEVER playing Ky gave me a lot of perspective.

Please, consider either a) dropping Axl until AC, b) dropping Axl altogether, or c) or playing another character 50% of the time. You won’t win a lot at first (I remember Andrew beating the shit out of my Jam a whole lot), but it’s still a lot more fun because you’re learning new things with another character. You’ll also learn a lot more about the game in general because there are things that are much easier to learn with other characters. Playing Jam helped me learn to attack without a fireball covering me, playing Zappa helped me learn better defense and how to zone, and learning Johnny, I-No, and Eddie really helped my execution.

Also, if you have questions about how to beat something or how to get around something, ask me in a tone that doesn’t imply “this is fucking bullshit” and then actually listen when I try to tell you what to do. It’s frustrating when I’m trying to show you something and you’re dead-set on telling me that I’m full of shit and that the game is broken.

EDIT: For everybody else, penis.

penis penis penis, vagina vagina vagina

I always liked vagina being pronounced “vuh-JOIN-ah”

Kinda on topic to before…

I know exactly what you mean about playing other characters as a main for a while then switching back to your original. Thats what i did in 3s. During 2I, my main was Akuma and hes the first person i learned anything with. Of course that was when i was real bad at most any fighter. From when i got 3s, then (sadly) started playing it online a lot i went through nearly 5 mains tell i settled back down to Dudley. Started with Ryu, switched to Oro, switched to Makoto, switched to Q, learned dudley, decided i wanted to play Hugo, went back to Dudley. Although it was really tough to get wins with all the learning, it was worth it now that im fairly competent in 3s now.

hooray for zappa! :smiley:

i agree tho, picking up another char is always fun. taking a step back from your main always gives u new perspective on how to move forward again later. “thinking outside the box”-ish kind of thing.

also, if you hate a character the best thing to do is to just learn the character you hate. that way you’ll end up loving them (and you can learn easy by just copying everyone else and stealing strats). it has the added bonus of letting you learn the in’s and out’s of that char, so you know how to defend against their stuff better, etc.

I never contribute anything useful to this forum…

i totally feel you guys on the “playing other people” thing. you know, sometimes you and your girlfriend just need time apart or else the relationship starts getting stale. that’s where people make the mistake: when things get stale they just hang in there thinking it’ll get better…WELL IT WON’T, AND YOU’RE FUCKIN’ DUMB FOR THINKING IT WILL!!! (ahem)…sorry about that. i, personally, needed some time. my girlfriend wouldn’t put her finger in my butt no matter how much i asked, so i took a break. different people are after different things; some guys really go for fat chicks. the thing about a fat girl is that she’ll fuck like an animal. they don’t really get it often so they DESTROY the balls when they finally get ahold of them. also, there’s donkey shows; a bit unorthodox but a learning experience, nonetheless (discretion is advised – and bring a raincoat…trust me).
anyway, i guess what i’m trying to say is that whether you prefer thickies, mule tricks, or dress-up with suits of armor and boxing gloves, it’s all okay. different strokes for different folks, i always say. and furthermo…???..wait, you guys were talking about women, right?? …RIGHT!!!..fuck.

i remember your jam/robo-ky/zappa phase. good times.

u have the suits of armor and boxing glove fetish? i thought i was the only one…

stephane could have addressed it a bit more courteously, but i agree that you should really watch the anger thing.

EDIT:

Seeing as the TILT is expanding and looking for new cabinets to put into the arcade, and are open to suggestions. Mike was proposed we write up a list of games to suggest to the TILT.

I am starting by saying:

(1) Guilty Gear XX ACCENT CORE
(2) Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

I dunno what else.

(3) Melty Blood: Act Cadenza

I suppose. Since it always seems to bring in lotsa ppl who are like “what’s this game? ANIME?! I WANNA PLAY!”

What games do they have now?

fuck that shit
all I hear is “stephane should have done this, stephane should have said that” well fuck all of you.
I know that none of you like what Chris usually does when he gets angry and none of you have seriously said anything about it except “chill out”. Now that I am raising my voice and addressing the matter the way it is, you are trying to put me down and then say something…!!:annoy:
well not, let me make this clear, I am not going to be the nice guy about this matter. I will say it and I will keep on saying it the same way I have been saying it. I have heard and see many time people telling me quietly to chill out, to stop that etc… and that didn’t work, now I am going to rol the hard way. and I am going to tell you right now chris.
if you do that again in front of me ( specially in my room) I am going to keep referring your ass as a losing ass:“loser”

although you are a angry gamer you are in college and it is time to grow up, you indispose people with you anger and you need to control it.
seriously man grow up.

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA

Good luck with getting Tilt to do anything. :rofl:

Chill out, dude; we’re all friends here.

hey hey… if you don’t try, u’ll never know.

thanks for the support you bastard.:wgrin:

First of all, they would never shell out that kinda money for GG.

They have DR, and that alone probably cost a lot.

They still have MvC2, MvC, and another VS Game, and CvS1.

3S would be the best bet due to it being a known franchise all over the US, and nowhere near the costs. Also CvS2 would be a popular easy choice to get too or Alpha.

Still no reason to try to get them to get GGAC, ill put my name by it.

They would never order MB. The store owners would go WTF is that?

My list–

  1. 3S
  2. GGAC
  3. Garou MOTW or some SNK game.

how bout king of fighters?

anyways, best case scenario is they take all our suggestions and we get all the games we suggested cuz they had no idea how to expand and they were happy to get input from us.

worst case scenario is they turn down all the games we suggest.

so we aim to get somewhere in between that. doesn’t hurt to ask.

well that wasn’t entirely directed towards james’s post. its mainly addressing what i know the rest of you are thinking.

tilt isn’t gonna do shit. half their controls dont work and gl getting them to use default settings. mvc2 damage is turned max. 1hko supers ftw.

ouch that like how people used to put 2I machines back in the day. So one Sean super would be 75 percent life.

OK, I know FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE that you will NEVER EVER get Tilt to do ANYTHING you want. Shit, even if there was a miracle and Tilt DID get some good games, they would be in shitty cabinets that aren’t ever fixed, and I wouldn’t even want to play there anyway.

The only place that would make sense to put fighting game cabinets would be in the union where they get some traffic, but there’s no way they’ll be doing that either.

You’re just getting your hopes up. The only arcades that take input from the community are small, privately-owned arcades. Tilt managers will make promises, but they won’t do shit.

You guys missed the glory days of Space Port. It was on green street between Wright and 6th, and got tons and tons of student traffic, and also led to quite a few guys dropping out of school too. While the Union had a shitload of machines during the same time period, their controls were almost always worse, so only scrubs played there. By the time Spaceport went belly-up, someone had convinced the Union to get their act together; they had the latest games and would actually fix the controls of machines that actually got played a lot (someone finally told them that the reason why other games didn’t break as often was because no one ever played them…) Unfortunately, the SF series was losing a little steam (beginning of Alpha series) and the Union got rid of their arcade room and 90% of their cabinets when they remodelled the basement. It’s pretty lame how there are now craploads of DDR machines and only one split screen, flat, lag-filled cabinet to play fighting games with a bazillion other games on only one cabinet.

I guess if I had an opinion, not that it would matter to anyone important, I would recommend giving up on Tilt (they must be selling drugs to stay in business anyway) and try to get the Union to put in a cabinet with a big name like you guys were talking about: 3s, some Vs game, or even cough ST… At least the Union is close to a lot of people, which might be convenient for you guys, plus it would attract new players as well, and you might even run a small and shitty tournament on one cab, if they university would even allow it. More importantly would be the central location and the ability to attract new and existing players…

Sorry I’ve sort of dropped off the face of the Earth, but my schedule has been lame and family life has been getting crazier too. Careful who you make babies with… It sucked that I couldn’t make Midwest, but is everyone planning on going to the Northbrook part of the Evo tournament this summer?
