Are any of you heads planning on coming to Final Round by the way?
Sometimes I still get that, but I find that I can tech hit pretty consistently even if I get the accidental DF.
Yeah, I get accidental DF quite a bit these days. I need to think harder about doing AG with more clarity. Still, I’m getting really good at twisting the Dark Force into something awesome, lol.
Purchased. If all goes well, Will go into Strange Matter arcade and bar in Richmond, Virginia.
thats pretty bad ass, congrats on your purchase =D
Great of you to help the community.
:tup:
Good stuff man. Glad someone nabbed it. I already have one and I was tempted to get it!
Instead I ended up bidding on a Pocket Fighter board that I got outbid on… so I rage-bought an XvsSF board for $45 shipped.
Anyone here planning on attending GAMME in orlando florida?
Good seein you again Kajoq. Sorry we didn’t play VS together
I wanna hear stories of Kajoq’s VS adventures in Final Round land! 
Yeah good to see you Tiggy - Didn’t even see you around all weekend after that first time we ran into each other by the cab, haha.
No epic VS stories… Friday I put the board in ShinBlanka’s cab for a while… and proceeded to go 90+ without losing (Lei for ~35, reset to Sas for ~35, reset to Fish for 20+) then Larry came by and told me to swap in Alpha 3 so I went ahead and did that. Nobody was really even making them close.
Later in the weekend caught a guy with the PS2 chronicles and I played a handful with a couple others… Nobody really knew wtf was going on when it came down to it haha.
I gave you a shout out in the FR thread kajoq.
Im the dude who played bulletta from season’s beatings
I saw you straight beasting dudes in alpha and st.
see you at evo or BFS2
Hah, Thanks man. I’m like 99% gonna be at Evo so we’ll definitely have to run some games. That old school shit is my Bread and Butter.
I’ll make it close at Evo, Ray. Wanna ftw/e for Hard Rock?
Yeah… the guy who held out on us that copy and played Lilith was blackjdragon (Bertell), lol. He’s from Louisiana.
Good to see you again. I was the guy who had the setup with speakers and played Zabel for a few before the oh-so-timely switch for Melty and KOF. I also met you before at Impact Clash two years ago as well. If only blackjdragon was aware he had the game in his CD wallet that Friday, I think someone you know there would’ve caught your attention for it long enough for us to play.
I couldn’t stay Sunday for the learning experience, I had work unfortunately. But regardless, the both of us dig this game very much. Me especially.
With that said, you got any more pointers for Zabel? I know I’m lacking in plenty of areas, and I always have room for improvement.
Yeah good to see you again man. For Zabel you should read the section on the first post in this thread it has a lot of really really good information.
Learn his Command normals and the ranges, he can anti air from places people arent really expecting.
Learn his movement <— Crucial. His ground game is gross, he can crouch walk forward/back, and crouch dash really quickly. His dash jab has huge frame advantage and you can pressure people like crazy with this. Once you get them blocking that, mixup with IAD+HP (9, 3+HP)
His air game is epic and he has a ton of great heights and angles to approach with.
Meter use should be saved for Death Voltage (HCB+KK) until you get comfortable doing his Link Combo into F,B+PP
Zabel is a beast, just takes a lot of practice really get used to all the options he has available

btw anyone else getting their hopes up a bit after what Ono said in that recent interview?
If Ono made another DS, I have a feeling it would resemble Vampire Hunter more than Vampire Savior, which would be a big step back.
Most likely.
Things like fast game speed, precision reliant techhits (and GCs), rush and kill type of gameplay just turn off the majority.
they’ll have to ‘dumb down’ it if they want to appeal to their SF4 established fanbase.
Shame, because Vsavior is definately a unique one of its own kind out of all the Capcom fighters.
