cool^ I dont mind hosting unless some else wants to. But st? I’m assuming thats for ps2 right?

Ok so I guess I will plan on going over to your place on sunday unless something changes. What time are you thinking?

ST is on dreamcast, you need sort of an oldish system to play it because the newer dreamcasts don’t allow you to use a boot disk.

hmm, I’m not sure if mine can play it… and I dont have a converter for dc either =( . I guess if someone else shows, the converter wouldnt be a problem though.

anyone else free tommorow?

Is 7pm tomorrow cool?

yea thats fine, but did you talk to donnie? he said he could get some games in early sunday but thats all I really know…

i need to get some games in bitches!!! i can probably make the drive or something this weekend but id need a place to stay…but seriously…i need some play time cuz im havin major withdrawls…haha…SC3, T5, CvS2, GGXX#R i dont give a damn im down for whatever …if you wanna gimme a call or something its 304-248-7203…names josh…peace

nas:

I have a buch of really good #r sol/millia/johnny matches, I’ll burn them to a disk and give it to you the next time I see you

I played some 3s vs the Roanoke peoples last night. Makato’s crouching mk works wonders; it builds meter really fast and beats just about any limb the other player throws out, I also found out that you can link it to sa1. Do you know what the timing on the link from hayato to sa1 is, I can never seem to get it even when I drum.

to all:

I’m thinking about heading to the colonial heights arcade (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105018) on the 7th of January. Let me know if that is a good date for anyone who is interested.

I may be interested in this, there is also a tourney in NC that day i think, which i’m kinda interested in.

Also, does anyone else want to learn NGBC?? I know PsiPhi is getting it, and I’m getting it, is anyone else interested?

And finally, who’s going to MAGFest? It’s got it’s origins in Roanoke, but it’s in Charlottesville this year. The comp at these things is usually pretty weak, but it’d be an excuse to play all weekend/get hammered (if you are into that).

Oh yeah! And I’m getting back tomorrow!!! So if anyone wants to play on Thursday (or possibly friday), BRING IT THE FUCK ON!!!

Last year’s magfest was pretty crappy, so it is pretty unlikely that I will go this year. The comp is pretty bad, the players who were good didn’t play any casuals last year, they just entered the tournaments. I’d be up for games Thursday or Friday.

Fuck yeah, alright:wgrin: . I’m thinking Thursday night will be perfect, barring any family bs. I should know more about what’s going on tomorrow afternoon. Maybe one of us will have NGBC by Thursday!

Cool, I would appreciate that. I can do the same for you with 3s vids if you want.

I’m glad I could help, but i didnt even know you could link that move lol, nice. But as for timing for hayato (dashing punch?), Its pretty much the same as the corner juggle I showed you, besides its easier since you can drum. But I wouldn’t worry too much about it… im not sure but I dont think it does that much more damage than just fp-sa1. Also, dont forget that DC isnt that good of an port… that might be messin up your timing.

NGBC:confused: am I that far behind? lol, someone let kno what NGBC is.

Btw, how long will you be in the area?.. because I’m in Pheonix right now, but I’ll be back on the 30th.

haha sorry to butt in(I MAY be transferring there in the fall(too late for spring!!!), but yea 1stly sell off the DC 3S and get a PS2 and SFAC!!! Certain links may very well not be possible on the Dreamcast. Generally for the hayate link, you want start doing the qcfX2 as soon as the hayate hits, and start drumming when she rests her hand around her belt area. If you do it this way consistently, you will know if you get the link or not; she goes directly from that hand around belt area—>super flash immediately if you got it. It does do less damage than straight up fierce>sa1, but you have distance punishment, low combo into super, and whiffed normal punishment. LOL, I hate beer but my boy has got me psyched bout this whole “football” thing going on there…hopefully see most of y’all there soon^_

Excellent. I’m not going to have it by tomorrow though; I’m getting it for Christmas, assuming it ships on time.

Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum: has characters from all over the snk universe (even really random ones like Marco from metal slug, and cyber woo from king of the monsters 2). It plays kinda like kof 2k3, except you have two characters instead of 3 and you can tag out and what not.

Ok thanks, I’ll try that.

Also I don’t know why everybody bashes the DC version so much. Everything is so hard to do everything in that version that I find it helps my execution. In the DC version with Makato, I can get karakusa, HP, SAII, axe kick, MP Hayato, HP Hayato like 25% of the time, but being able to get it 25% of the time in the DC version is equivalent to getting it 95% of the time in the xbox/ps2 version since the timing is a lot more forgiving.

meh my retarded ass forgot this weekend was christmas week end hahaha…oh well…btw for you T5 and SC3 people

peace

Yeah, my NGBC will be here tomorrow…but my dad is holding it hostage for X-mas.:sad: I may find some way to get it from him. Anyways, tomorrow night at my house is a reality. I dunno what everyone’s playing, but I’m down for whatever (3s, ST, GGXX, Marvel (!), SC3). I live in Salem, and it’s pretty easy to find. Let me know if anyone else is interested and i’ll post up directions.

ramza: cant wait :tup:. but yea im sure u know makoto shit 20x better than me lol.

phsiphsi: I see now… But damn I need to get active in the snk fighting game scene. I’ve hardley even touched the kof series. Too many games X_X… I think ill stay dedicated to #r and 3s for now.

I want to come. I’ll play any of those games, though my preference would be 3s, st and ggxx. I’ll also see if any of the other people around here want to come if that’s ok. Man I work in Salem, but my joystick is at home, so I’ll have to drive home and back, doh.

ramza: I can get hayate -> sa1 just about everytime now, thanks for the tips. If anybody else knows any makato stuff I’m all ears.

Can anyone explain how damage is calculated in 3s? sa1 does about 80 damage (vs akuma) by itself, but depending on what I do before it I’ve gotten damage as low as 50 something and as high as 120:confused: .

the lager the combo, the less damage eash individual hit does… its prolly allittle more too it than that though. I’ll see if i can find anything.

Yeah, it seems like certain hits prorate like in ggxx or something.

These are the numbers as I remember them:

hp, sa1: 90
mk, sa1: 80
hayate, sa1: 80
karakusa, sa1: 50 - 60
karakusa, hp, hayate, sa1: 120
