There’s an arcade in Bristol? What games do they have there? Also, is anyone up for games next week? I’d really like to improve my Makato, Robo-Ky and possibly Dudly.
My makoto is back:clap: If u willing to learn sa2, I got some killer set ups and combos I can show you:tup:
But if you want to keep using sa1, try practicing kara with lk, gives u lots of range.
Also, try to put her karakusa more in your game…
-u can do s. mp > karakusa, and mix that up with another s.mp incase they try to avoid the grab.
- u can kara with lk… but its not that good of a kara bc if the lk hits, then the grab will miss… but its pretty easy to do
-you probably already know u can do karakusa after hayate
-f.rh and hold it so u can cancel straight into karakusa
-while in the air- do mk, and if they block, u can do karakusa - f.mk into karakusa, and mix it up with s.rh
…just to name a few.
Oh and u need to tech roll alot with makoto becuase of her long wake up time… this is especially important against urien.
not sure if any of this helps, but if u need some more advice, let me know:tup:
Lately I’ve been working on remembering to kara her regular throw, it seems like I whiff by 2 pixels every time I don’t kara it now.
I’ve also been working on the stuff you told me:
dash up karakusa
jump mk (on block) karakusa
I already knew about hold fk -> karakusa, but some days, I don’t know what’s going on but I just plain can’t do it, it’s like my timing is off every other day
I think I’m going to stick with sa2 for now at least.
With Sol practice his dust loop until you can land it everytime. Baically all you have to do is a setup, then a running jump (669), then immediately (as soon as humanly possible!) D, wait a bit D, then repeat from the running jump
There are a whole bunch of setups these are all of the ones I know, you have to be pretty close to the corner for them to work:
grandviper, rc, j.S, j.D, wait a bit j.D (land and do loop from above)
gunflame, frc, (loop from above)
(when you are in the corner) wild throw, run under them, j.S, j.D, wait a bit, j.D (loop from above)
Also sometimes you can catch the opponent with a 2H (when they are in the air) and jump cancel it into a dust loop
Hopefully that helps and isn’t too confusing. gamecombos.com is closed now, but there is still a really good thread on how to setup and pull of the dust loop, you can check there if you need further direction. I’m not good at pulling off dust loops but from my experience the key is to do the first dust as fast as possible (so that the second dust actually comes out before you hit the ground, if you are too slow you will get the sound effect but no animation) and to get the rythem down. It should sound like deya…deya…deya…deya…deya…deya…etc
I’m sure if I’m wrong or unclear about any of this stuff Donnie will correct me :tup:
talked w/ the manager over here at the arcade at Mercer Mall in b’field and told him to get some fighting games and get rid of some of the garbage games around there…i told him MvC2, tekken 5, and CvS2 if possible but he’ll probably come up w/ something garbage…shrugs…ill have to put in an application to work there or something and set things in line 
thanks:tup: Ill try that stuff out.
Ill try to put some more makoto stuff up later… but I take back what I said lol, I’m not gonna start playin her again… for now im only Urien:badboy: , I’m giving up everyone else. But I’ll still play others in casual matches.
OK kids…playtime is over! I get back to the 540 in two weeks, and I’m looking to play ALOT over break. I may pick 3s back up, but right now I feel content with my rosters in ST and SC3. I definitely need a third game…but what should it be?
Mario Kart DS
I hope some Roanoke ppl make it to the Washington DC tournament
T5 and SC3 will also be held. #R as well…

Dude! How did you know? I’ve been playing that shit non-stop.
Same here. But I’m trying to avoid playing to too much until after Christmas. My family is going to Maryland, it should prove to be very boring, so I want to have some stuff left to unlock in MK. Dry Bones for the win.
As far as fighting games go we should play a lot of 3S and #R over the break.
Hell yea, don’t forget about 3s! … am I the only one thats been practicin that game hardcore?
… and I don’t wanna learn #r for nothing lol.
but quick question… will playin the computer on #r help at all? cuz I know playing 3s vs computer is pointless.
ps. week after next(exams) I should be able to get some games in.
It’s a moving combo target! And they don’t cheat, like other games. So #R’s arcade mode is kinda fun.
Playing 3S against the computer is good if you practicing Hit confirm. 
let me know when any games are goin down…im like 45min from VT/Blacksburg so ill deffinately try to make it down for some matches…#r, T5, CvS2…whatever…im garbage in 3s but fuck it ill still play
Wich explains why I can’t do hitcomfirm:lol: .
But damn… #r got me hooked! I had to put that shit away just so it wouldn’t distract me from studying lol. It finnally clicked on how game is supposed to be played offensively… but defensively, I have no ideah… thats where you guys come in :). My offensense is still trashy too lol, but now it actually feels like I get better when I practice :).
There’s defense in GG? You should spend all of your time rushing down the other guy, but I guess if you should get caught in a pressure string you can FD to try and make holes in their pressure bigger so you can escape. Alternately you can IB or DDA. A well placed burst is also useful for changing the momentum of the match in your favor, but a poorly placed burst can be punished.
Can anyone make the DC monthly this SATURDAY??
