VF5 Final Showdown June 6th, Everyone In This Thread Is Buying It [FIGHTING GAMES]

That Dave Fella

I really enjoyed watching KOF on stream.

Watching the Seasons Beating SFxT top 8. Apparently I have been playing the game completely wrong.

@Knob, when you're doing the dp.C xx rdp.b loops, are you using the shortcuts? I think I might try replacing dp with its shortcut but leaving the rdp motion alone. Is that what you're doing?

i do full motions, but if you do go shortcut you're right in leaving the rdp alone since it makes rdp+b xx orochinagi way easier

Blackbeard7

anyone feel like playing marvel/sfxt tonight?

Knob

And all there is to getting that loop is just muscle memory. Turn on infinite hd, walk to the corner and do as many reps as you can over and over. The hard part for me was getting used to going fast then slow then fast then slow. The pauses in between rdp+b and dp+c threw me off so much more than the speed of canceling dp+c to rdp+b

i'll be there.

i won't be on anything approaching the vicinity of the continent of the country of the state of the county of the town of the competitive level.

but i'm gonna go, because how do you not

I can't get enough of Zak Bennett's team.

And holy shit the grand finals match was crazy.

Spoiler:

Marvel is all about huge momentum swings, I guess. Even going back to winners' finals - Marlin went up 2-0, then Champ won three straight to knock him into losers. Then Marlin goes 3-0 to reset, then Champ starts 2-0, then Marlin makes a sick ass comeback in game three to start another 3-0 run to take it all, ending with that sick perfect.

Yeah right now I can do dp.C xx rdp.b xx orochinagi....

and can't do anything after.

Its a start though!

My character ADD in KOF continues to dominate who I put on point but lately I haven't been switching out of Athena/Iori in the back. Something about PSYCHO BAALLLL just keeps bringin' me back.

Landing a command grab in the corner and doing like 3 psycho ball juggles is the best

just peer over my shoulder at the guy next to me like

PSYCHO BALLLL PSYCHO BALLL PSYCHO BALLL

Masta CJ was doing that athena shit to lots of people at the tournament I went to last weekend.

He was doing it with Athena on point though. I think thats really where she belongs.

Flocker had a mean Athena too.

I'm on the fence about putting Athena on point, I think having access to her DM and EX DM makes a huge different in terms of how scary she is overall, but on the other hand your opponent having to limit their meter usage in the first round makes zoning with Athena a lot more effective since it messes with people's meter strategy to need to burn it so early.

Last night I was putting Clark on point and then running Athena/Iori and the synergy was really nice. I never liked Clark's inefficient big damage combos and unless they put a zoning character on point he really doesn't need the meter anyways.

I have to say Blackbeard, it's really fun playing you.

I feel like we're pretty close in skill level so the matches can go either way at a moment's notice. Regardless of how bad/good either of us are doing.

This is good but it was funnier when Ryan Hart ringed HIMSELF out after landing a combo.

Wimble

I like the clip one more because I've seen accidental ring outs before but something planned like that is rad

The Cow King

Any one around and wanna play some marvel or ae?

Folken Fanel

So I bit the bullet and decided to pick up Soul Calibur V.

Who does the most damage in a single combo in this game?

Knob

i dunno shit about sc5

but from the handful of top 8s ive seen, the best strategy seems to be 'pick nightmare, win game, act like a dick'

Folken Fanel

Hey @Knob: https://twitter.com/#!/MMElHatter/status/200452960843595777

Blackbeard7

I believe astaroth also does a buttload of damage, but I, too, dunno shit about sc5 or how viable he actually is in this one

I Win Swordfights

play mitsurugi

Why do they not have Marvel? Do they not play Marvel in Montana?

Knob

Look, butte is a place that fun, decency, common sense, and nice smells go to die. Asking why they do anything is like asking a turd to dance
