W. Lafayette, IN Gatherings Every Tues.. RANBATS Every other Tues. First Ranbat 1/25

great games last night guys, also I will be able to play tonight but probably not that much because I have a test tomorrow.

I can’t play tonight unfortunately.
GG’s the other night guys.
Tony, I don’t know what the hell you’ve been doing but you were throwing tons of stuff at me that I’ve never seen before. Seems like you’ve added a lot to your arsenal since MWC.

Thanks Mike, I’d say my akuma is inching more towards being legit, now I’m working on my Ryu though :D. Anyone wanna play @ my place @ 6:00 tonite? Someone should bring a PS3 though. Address is 120 S. Salisbury (Its the building adjacent to the Jiffy Lube (the one across the street from XXX restaurant) and across the street from the Citgo. Phone # is 317-847-1012.

Hopefully next time we play ill be bringing some new toys on bison. Learned a couple more combos but not sure how entirley effective they are.

yo FUCK ssf4 bison. I will never block crossup psycho crushers the right way.

Hey Jeff, here?s what I found for Honda vs. Blanka Ultra 2:
EX headbutt works, but the timing is strict as hell, needs to be RIGHT when Blanka pounds the ground, not before, and definitely not immediately after the flash. The window in between the first hit and the second is incredibly tight. The fact that this works though makes me pretty sure there is a window to do Ultra 1 as well but I couldn?t hit it, the way the Ultra flash eats inputs makes it so hard to successfully do a charge ultra after the flash but before the fist pound.

Tony: Still haven?t found an escape for Ryu. I tried what you thought would work with the Jump, Jump EX Tatsu but the second hit just stays out FOREVER and I always landed in it, or if I tried to delay to the very end I would get hit right out of it. I tried lots of other things, jumping normals, shoryuken escapes, nothing worked. One kind of interesting thing I found though is if you jump back and then do an EX Shoryu as you land you take much less damage than if you do the EX Tatsu air escape. If you do EX tatsu and land in it you take two hits, but if you do the jump back and then EX Shoryu you only take 1 hit for close to half damage. What?s even more interesting is if you do jump back Fierce jump Shoryu you take one hit, bounce in the air, and then take a second hit. This ultra has some really interesting properties for sure.

Lol at the Bison hate, he’s actually grown on me a lot recently

I was wrong when I said that Ibuki’s slide isn’t punishable from full-range, I must have done something wrong before, from what I can tell it’s something like -4/+1 but I’m still not sure
and Cammy’s HK dives can cross-up but just not in the corner…last time I tested it I think I missed that last part

Think I’m going to end up playing both Ibuki and Cammy, both are just insanely good

Bison gets another crossup and he gets hate. lol

I swear, bison and abel are too good in this game. Not like chun-li at all.

Yah Chun is low tier, along with guile, sagat, and ryu. God they suck.

yeah ryu is ASS!

dammit I’m full of regret over getting a PS3 now, I really want that neogeo fighting game that’s on XBLA.

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum FTW lol. I’m more tempted by SamSho 2 myself, hear it’s got decent netcode too. Loved me some samurai shodown. Although that crazy japanese fighting game with the troll looks hilariously awesome too and i think that’s only going to PSN.

What game is this?

Chaos Breaker… originally called “Dark Awake” apparently it’s big in japan.

We need SF today. Im bored.

I’ve busy today and still have a meeting later at 7, if you guys are playing I can show up after that

I just got back to town and would be up for some games tonight if people want to come out to my place. Really trying to level up my Makoto, you know I love those Vega-like pokes combined with Blanka-like shenanigans.

And Anthony if you can come out tonight it would be great if you could bring your PS3 and stick, I have HDMI cables so it shouldn’t be a problem to set up at my place. And that way you don’t have to play on my ailing SE that wasn’t pro status to begin with.

MvC3 gameplay footage!

I like how Ryu has the exact same BnB combo he had in TvC.

You notice how the damage is called out similar to TvC?
Or how the shading on the characters looks similar to TvC and focus S/SF4?
