I'll be out of my house until 10 or so
Vulva pls
I'll wait patiently.
8ish lol
What am I suppose to make of this? Not a lot of pros are that entertaining on the mic lol
Real talk this week.
...or combinations of tools etc.
I love teching in melee cause you can go side to side or neutral. Hell, to up the meta don't even tech. I find it good and bad at the same time, good since we get Bizarro Flame moments with dairs for days, bad how there is a damn option for every tech if the person reads you right. Gimme some room to breathe lol

Yeah, those thefts suck.
The FGC members are gonna start going to events with security guards behind them, Geese style.
security guards.. or pre-fight entertainment? We know Geese doesn't need those guys
I feel partly responsible for that GB interview and i still don't know what Jeebies are.
Also sucks about that stolen stuff, we recently had a break in where 30K of money and jewelry was stolen and nothing else,nothing in ways of electronics and stuff but some things dear to my mother. Hope they can catch whoever did that.

I feel like I'm not a part of the family until I beat up Yams.
ethically i am against vigilante justice..
but panda is one of the coolest dudes ive met. he's seriously given it all for the community- from hosting events to streaming nonstop to going out to other events in the south on his own dime to stream for them so the south can get more exposure.
so for someone to just scope him out like that just for quick cash...
i hope they get their neck wringed proper tight.

LOL! Thanks. Went back and removed the typo.
For me I guess its a combination of tools. I see a lot of love for delayed wakeups and I love them too, but that alone isn't enough to deal with wakeup stuff. It gets rid of guaranteed unblockable stuff, but I feel wakeups need a combination of tools before you eliminate all the shenanigans and turn it into a really fair situation. I like rolls with delayed wakeup a lot. I'm not certain how I feel about armored wakeups though because it makes people overly respect folks after a knockdown and on the flipside it makes knockdown heavy characters turn into meter destroying monsters for their opponents...those sorts of folks know to block them just to bait the loss of meter and still get a punish and thats a bit too good. So yeah...I don't really know that I feel armored wakeups are very good.
I guess I prefer wakeups that are defensive and give you more of a mobility option than just ones that put you in a scenario where you may not only get blocked and stuffed but also lose your meter.
Corner pressure I like the idea of alpha counters, just defend tools and pushblock in that order.
The person making the comment didn't know JWong is a pro player, and was watching him only to stream MKX, lol

...or combinations of tools etc.
I go back and forth with teching off the ground. When I knock somebody on the ground, I want him to stay there, or if I'm knocked off the ground, I feel like I deserve to stay on the ground and get punished for it. However, teching saves my ass more times I can count so I can't really hate it.
Wall Jumping is another thing that confuses me, especially when there isn't any walls on the stage, lol.

Just feels mean to take peoples stuff at a community event. These are folks aligned with similar interests and you shouldn't have to worry about scummy elements.
I'm not that bad Anne ;_;
lol, we need another evo moment... something like the daigo parry or justin making that cyclops comeback in mvc2.
I know how to play SF Yams :>
Oh hey it's the 20 year anniversary of Virtua Fighter's home launch in NA.
The fighting game that sank a company's console hopes!
-----------------
Combo Breaker is the first event I'm really excited to watch this year. (That's mainly on me, my enthusiasm this year is ... muted.)

Someone should make a thread about that I guess.
Buncha guys that gaffers follow are tweeting about the Saturn launch now so it will probably happen.

I spent way more money than I should have on Virtua Fighter 3 and Tokyo Battle. My summer with Lion was a blur and my shirts smelled of cigarettes from the arcades, my sister thought I was smoking.

I don't think I ever played Virtua Fighter 3. I remember playing 1 and 2 in the arcades, and I played the shit out of 4, but I never had 3. My Dreamcast only had MVC2, DOA2 and Soul Calibur in terms of fighting games.
We need to play again yams. I gotta learn how to fight you dirty grapplers
yams beats me up....So I dunno what that makes me

EX hurricane kick with GUY
learn it, live it, love it
worst? depends on the game and the mechanics. if the game has instant overheads and lots of guessing games, then i consider that a bit unfair without invincible moves to overcome at the cost of something
I played VF3 in the arcade, but never really played it on the Dreamcast. Spent most of my time playing 2, 4EVO, 5, and 5FS. Plus other fighting games were more popular on the Dreamcast at that time.
There's been alot of great events this year to watch, but I'm really looking forward to see what Combo Breaker has in store. Now I just need to find the time to watch all that's going on on that weekend.

One EVO when they were shooting a documentary about Daigo I think, those guys had their equipment stolen.

Nah, you're thinking of the SSF4 party where the Daigo vs Justin exhibition happened.
Probably posted before, but I have to.

At GP: Baltimore (for MTG) a few years back there was a massive backpack theft ring operating there - they found a hotel room filled with them. One of my friends got attacked in the bathroom by someone trying to take his. Unfortunately it comes with the territory as things grow.

I could totally see a backpack thief getting a room full of them by stealing under tables or whatever. But ripping them off someone's back in a restroom?
That's actually kind of impressive.

I like KOF's cocktail of block, jump, roll, guard cancel and an input system where you'll get a reversal on the side you want it done. Gives the player many options but also forces straightforward commitment to whatever you choose, which I appreciate.
*KOF13 at least checks for special move validity on button press, ie. it stores input directions as absolutes and you press punch, it sees if there's a valid DP for the character's perspective the moment the button is pressed. SF4 stores directions in terms of forward/backward so what inputs you need to do to get a crosscut DP can change mid-input. Cue furious mashing because of the shortcut and long buffer.
You can probably destroy me now, I'm already laying out my option select and saying that I play Melee, PM and Marvel now lol
So i guess we will never see the Slayer of Combofiends again

I played Virtua Fighter in the arcade and left the machine laughing when I saw those moon jumps. Didn't even bother with the series again until 5, or whichever one came out on PS3.

I meant the other backpacks.
Damn, coming on strong a bit there
Yeah, kinda want to go to Toryuken just to meet up with different GAFers but it's out of my budget ATM

youve beaten combofiend. Is this how a winner would act? Come on yams
One day it'll be slayer of team eg. I'm gonna see if I can face each one in Marvel. Sadly I hate the Wolverine mirror so it'll be a trial.
Not unless you counterpick and raw ultra... I still remember that.
You never will Smedwicks, I'm that confident.
lol, i got lucky.
I always thought this was a joke...its real?
That was pure luck lol. Get your ass on tonight boi.
