kona Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Kona, why are you using "Falling behind Tales" as a way to show that you don't think you practice enough? :/ Thought we were done with the whole "Tales is free" thing.... Well, most of us, anyway. Cheese would probably consider me free even if I double perfect IK'd him. xD I'm not gonna lie, it is because I've been playing a shit ton more Super than I have playing GG. Now, I can't practice because my dual mod stick's MP button is dying (AGAIN) so it makes using Bridget's good pokes and FRCing a bitch. Also, I did not mean the whole "Tales is free" thing. Last time I saw you play, I was actually impressed. You were working hard at GG while I was working hard at Super (working on C. Viper). Plus, I like taking down people who are better than me. That just means I have to step my shit up... once I get my stick fixed again. I feel like I got my initiative to practice GG again once I printed out shit from the Bridget threads instead of hopping from my computer then to my TV to only keep going back to my computer and eventually wind up on Facebook while my TV is stuck on training mode for the next few hours.
agp24 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Sarcasm does not work with the interwebz. xD I wasn't really upset or anything, being called free actually kind of makes me want to do better. :/
Zoob Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 I do agree that Tales has improved. He beat me pretty solid a couple of rounds a couple of weeks ago. Then again, I haven't been playing as long as most of the dustloop oldies.
kona Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Tales you're free like a torrent, accept it. I love you, no homo.
agp24 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Jian, you and me, best of 5 in a 2d fighter of your choice. >:P We'll see who's free.
blueNINE Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Stryfe is running a GG, MB, and SSF4 here at BG on July 17. Start making plans and continue leveling up! GET HYPE! Yes! Get hype for Uprising!! Please post there if you're planning to go.
Why-Disciple Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I used to think that Tales was the only person worse than me at the 2d fighters we play. Then I actually pick up GG again and practice and he wipes the floor with me. Sigh. *Sheepishly goes back to playing games no one else likes*

Just means we gotta step up our game. Start leveling up that Jam!
agp24 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I just got sick of being free for EVERYONE. Now I'm only free for some people. :P That, and I have no job currently, so I'm usually practicing like 3 hours a day.
Furok Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 you should practice 10 hours a day if you want to win fight money korean starcraft players do it and they get paid
blueNINE Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 He's hungry at GG now. Just means we gotta step up our game. Start leveling up that Jam! Yeah. Man up! Heh. you should practice 10 hours a day if you want to win fight money korean starcraft players do it and they get paid
Jian Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Tales I never said I wasn't free, because I must be free if I'm Asian Tales and you're white Jian. Also crazy coincidence, Anji is an anagram for my name, brain fuckery! Tales I have to find a bad enough game for us to play ft5 lemme get back to you on that.
kona Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Was it your or Apex that lost as Unlimited Nu to a Tager? Btw, I'm pretty sure he has experience against Nu.
agp24 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Way to rain on my parade. -_- It had floats, and clowns, and cotton candy, and corn dogs, and-*shot*
agp24 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 We won't speak of this again. That was like, my first or second time ever coming to casuals. xD How'd you remember that?
Jian Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I am sad PS3 sticks don't work for ps2 games. Fuck you GG.
Why-Disciple Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Pads are pretty terrible for GG. At least mine was.
agp24 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 They are. :/ Also, BG was win. Cheese and I spent most of the time playing Inuyasha. We tried making a matchup chart for the game. xD
kona Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I am sad PS3 sticks don't work for ps2 games. Fuck you GG. Plus, backwards compatibility is ass for fighting games on PS3. Get your stick dual modded. Also, I wish I could've made it, but I had work until 8PM and everyone was gone off to do their own thing by then.
Nuclear Cheese Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Also, BG was win. Cheese and I spent most of the time playing Inuyasha. We tried making a matchup chart for the game. xD Yeah, where the hell was everyone? There were literally something like five people there. What gives, guys? Anyways, important Inuyasha matchup information gained from when we were playing around with the game: Naraku isn't as bad as I originally pinned him; probably mid tier or so. His 4S is pretty godlike unless the opponent can trade with it for advantage or get around it. His super is still worthless though, easily one of the worst in the game due to how slow it is and how shit the hitbox is. Demon Inuyasha also moved up the list, I'd now put him mid-high tier, maybe even a bit higher. Tales found that he can go into 50% nearly anywhere with meter, and in the corner without meter. Also, amusingly, DI's super, hitting in the corner, can get like 60-70% damage total in a combo, but leaves him open for a combo from the opponent. It seems that this is generally worth it, though, since most characters can't produce that level of damage so easily, making it a favorable trade. His command grab still kinda sucks, though. Far as we can tell, Sesshomaru is the only character with any invulnerability on anything. Namely his super, which is invulnerable for a good bit of time in the middle of the animation. Mainly because he's not on the screen. We've pretty much officially decided that Sango is unviable, to the surprise of nobody who knows much of anything about this game. Some specific matchups: Demon Inuyasha vs Miroku: really close to 5-5. Demon Inuyasha is constantly trying to force Miroku into the corner, where anything leads to massive damage. 6S and jump-ins all around. Meanwhile, Miroku is trying to keep him at bay, mainly using 2H and 6S to stop DI's 6H and other shit to stop jump-ins, all while trying to maintain position near the middle of the screen. Demon Inuyasha vs Inuyasha: around 6-4, in DI's favor. DI gets around IY's normally bullshit projectile game easily, since 6S goes under IY's air 6S while closing the distance quickly. This means IY has to shift his game to keeping out DI, but he doesn't have as good tools as Miroku to do this. Also, DI can punish IY's super really easily. Demon Inuyasha vs Koga: I'd say 5-5 or 5.5-4.5, in Koga's favor. I've always maintained that Koga is a better DI, but playing this matchup as much as we did makes me rethink that. For the most part, Koga's 6S is better than DI's 6S, save for DI getting more raw damage off of his, while Koga gets oki setups. However, Koga can easily stuff DI's 6S with 4S if he sees it coming, leading to a BnB combo (5HHS, or in the corner: 5H 5H 5HHS). Since both are the "fast, close hitter" type of character, it tends to be pretty close. Demon Inuyasha vs Totosai: Somewhere around 6.5-3.5, in Totosai's favor. There's a reason we consider Totosai top tier - his specials are awesome. In this matchup, it's actually his 4S that does a lot of the talking, since not only does it serve some chip damage on oki, but it also shuts down DI's 6S stupid easy when timed well. TO's 2S, the infamous "Cow Drop", is a bit less useful than usual, thanks to DI's quick movement, but can still come in handy in some circumstances. The main reason DI doesn't just keel over and die in this matchup is because he has the speed to catch up to Totosai, and when he does catch him, it hurts like a bitch. Naraku vs Sango: 8-2, maybe even worse, in Naraku's favor. We already knew Sango is shit tier, and this changes nothing. The entire match is Naraku spamming 4S, to which Sango has no good answer. If Naraku gets her in the corner with it, she's stuck guarding or getting hit by it until she loses, with little to no ability to escape. Kagome vs Kikyo: 5-5ish. The two characters have pretty similar (read: practically identical) move sets. Kikyo has a bit more focus on close range attacks, and has a real good jH, while Kagome's projectile is a bit better and her super is at least somewhat usable. In the end, though, the matchup is almost the same as playing against the same character. I know there were other ones we played around with a bit, but that's all I'm remembering right now. Current running tier list (in my opinion): Bullshit tier: Shippo (SH) (banned) Top: Totosai (TO) High: Koga (KO) Mid-High: Demon Inuyasha (DI), Inuyasha (IY), Miroku (MI) Mid: Naraku (NA), Sesshomaru (SE) Mid-Low: Kikyo (KI), Kagome (KA) Low: Kagura (KG) Bottom tier: Basement tier: Shit tier: Worthless: Roll tier: F-- tier: Sango (SA) We need to tournament this shit up again sometime soon. The game is actually fun, even if a bit poverty (understatement of the week right there. ) Okay, that took me half of forever to type up. Time to actually get to sleep now.
