Vion Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 new to BB and to the forums, but just saw that there was an NC thread. any UNC students here? tryin to learn how to play, figured if I could play against some people in person itd be of help. Oh snap, Welcome n sup d00d! You have Xbox live, right? Should play with me and some of my friends sometime. Add meh next time you're on and we'll go from there. >D Sadly I'm closer to NCstate and Wake tech. D:
Zoogstin Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 The campuses really aren't that far from each other. If you guys have a car/truck you can travel.

Ill be busy with finals in the immediate future, but Im excited to learn to play better. Workin on Tsubaki as my main, I think. Taokaka can do some silly shit with her drive, poppin up behind people and whatnot, but I just find her character design so lame, haha.
Urichinan Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 So I heard that the Westfield Mall in Gaston County allows for video game tournament, I'm not sure if they'll allow for a BlazBlue or Guilty Gear though. =( Anybody around that area that'd be willing to check it out? NC really needs a facelift in the gaming community.
Villainous Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Eventually, you'll have one of your own, and you'll cease to feel that way. I do, 100% paid off a couple of weeks ago. It's my metal box that's more oval than box. But it still goes fast. Sometimes. But yeah... I know I'm deviant. I don't like football or pork all that much and cars don't interest me unless they're retardedly nice. The campuses really aren't that far from each other. If you guys have a car/truck you can travel. I guess those of us with SUVs and Motorcycles are shit out of luck. Edited November 30, 2010 by Villainous

NC really needs a facelift in the gaming community. I think you're a bit out of touch with things, as we've had successful tournaments for years here, as recently as a few weeks ago. Step your knowledge game up.
purify Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Yeah, just because you're not hearing about us in the newspaper or on TV doesn't mean we're not around. There's a tournament next weekend in Greensboro we're all going to, and it will have both GG and BB on lagless displays. Last tournament there were a few lagging televisions, but we have a new organizer and we're working on that. Expect 40-50 present in a card shop. Speaking of Lucky's, you guys need to vote on the last game for the tournament. Only like 5 people have voted so far and TvC is tied with something for getting it. I don't think you want that! The other choices are like Vampire, Coliseum, 2k2UM, T6, MBAA. Thread, for poll and new guy: http://shoryuken.com/f7/luckys-ascension-greensboro-nc-12-11-2010-a-257231/ ...wait lol Tekken got a bunch of votes all of the sudden. Zaibatsu must have found it.
Villainous Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I dropped a vote for Melty for you guys but looks like Demo has gathered the troops on this one. Better vote up if you guys want your game lol.
Vion Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Metal box with wheels are amazing in general if they don't guzzle gas. Not only gas but the always problems that arise from out of the blue.. =A= ya, add me on xbox live. Ill be busy with finals in the immediate future, but Im excited to learn to play better. Workin on Tsubaki as my main, I think. Taokaka can do some silly shit with her drive, poppin up behind people and whatnot, but I just find her character design so lame, haha. Ditto. I only play small bits and pieces but we'll get up after finals. So Valkenhayn is coming out Dec.7 I should be jumping off the wall and dancing.. but it's week of finals. So that's a FTW and FML all in one. --
Regalstirling Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) ya, as a big fan of dudley and J talbain, combining them into a classy werewolf is probably too cool for me to even attempt to play. Also SRK says a patch is goin through? does this mean that tsubaki might stop being such low tier? cause shes definitely the character that has felt most natural for me. Edited December 1, 2010 by Regalstirling
testament101 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 by the way, for those going to NEC, since somebody has to pick Brent up, would it be plausible for somebody to swing by state and get me as well.
purify Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Also SRK says a patch is goin through? does this mean that tsubaki might stop being such low tier? cause shes definitely the character that has felt most natural for me. I think she's going to stay an easy to use, relatively simple and not great character. She feels easy to get things going with, but she's one of those characters where the difficulty comes in when you're playing an actual match and you have to hit people/get close to them. Strider Hiryu is popular overseas as well, we took him out of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, because he didn't fit in with its concept. A Capcom tweet from Nitsuma. I've heard this excuse a few times now, but I don't get this "concept" thing they're talking about. Original/ReArmed Bionic Commando and Strider aren't dark and comic bookish enough, but ARTHUR is? He's a midget knight with a big head.
purify Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Richter is in Castlevania HD now. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ...and so are Julius, Yoko and Maria but omg
Raviloli Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I've been practicing BlazBlue pretty hard after seeing all the CS2.0 loke test changes. I'm digging most of the changes, and I'm digging Makoto even more now that I don't have to worry about the parry loop.
Frank The Tank Posted December 2, 2010 Author Posted December 2, 2010 parry loop is already gone afaik. It's been gone since the last patch.
Raviloli Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 parry loop is already gone afaik. It's been gone since the last patch. I know. I meant I'd rather not learn it so I'm glad it was removed. Her combos are more entertaining without it.
Zoogstin Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I'm gonna miss Carl's current combos but he still seems pretty broken in CS2. He's more setup oriented rather than high damage AND setup oriented.
RoboCurse Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I just wanna get some games in, haven't played against anybody good since Luckys lol
purify Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Maybe, but she got 100% buffs in SSF4, so it's all good.
Raviloli Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Shooting Star corner bounds. + 2A hits Tao's crawl. + 214A~B recovery reduced. + 2B>5B gattling added (cannot reinput 2B) + opponent cannot tech in air after getting hit by dempsey roll + Comet followups go further for lvl 3s. - j.2C's level has been reduced. Still a strong move though. - Makoto's Big Bang Smash startup is slower. Still a strong move. In addition to that, her 5B is now jump-cancellable even on block as well. I think she gains a lot of offensive options with that, in addition to the changes to instant guarding, she will be a strong character IMO. Plus mini-game combos are fun as fuck to do. I love training mode now.
purify Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Impressions of the DLC Castlevania characters: Julius is like more of a powerhouse Jonathan with the ability to use his whip like Simon from Super CV, i.e. 8-direction whipping action, which can also latch onto Shanoa's Magnes circles to swing across. Pretty fast startup and longer range on whip, seems to me. Same subweapon system, but doesn't have the silly Portrait ones. Seems to have a faster run. Has whip-spin. He's Julius. His fists are huge. Yoko is a lot like Sypha. Her Luck stat starts really high, which is unusual and a welcome change since Luck is so big in this game. Staff doesn't regen life anymore, but her spells are pretty good. They level up in what they do similar to everything else based on mastery. No divekick (like Charlotte). MP regen seems FASTER than Charlotte, but of course Charlotte probably gets the nod for versatility and likely overall damage...but who knows yet. Almost everything she does is "Holy _______!" I bought Maria, but I haven't played her because she's Maria. Richter at the beginning is like a somewhat less-ridiculous Portrait Richter (the playable one). He has the same subweapon system as Julius, but also has martial arts, and starts with his first which is a spin kick air tatsu thing that gives him extra reach on jumps and at base damage hurts more than his whip. It's pretty fun jump-kicking things. Has whip-spin. No sign of item crashes unfortunately. When he beats a boss, he says YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD
