The even NEWER North Carolina Thread

[Raviloli]

Sup guys. Posting from here cause SRK has too many flashing fighting game pictures to post from at work - and I don`t have internet at home yet! Or possibly for another 6 weeks depending on how long it takes to get all this stupid crap done! I have to get my Foreigner card before anything else can really be taken care of - bank account, cell phone, internet, etc. And on top of that, internet here can take up to 4 weeks to set up, despite the fact that it`s ridiculously fast. If I get an optics line its like 200 Mbps download speed lolololol.

BUT ANYWAY. School is on vacation right now, and none of the other first year english teachers are here so I can`t even plan any lessons yet since I dont know what we are teaching yet. And yet here I am, sitting here at school, whiling away my time doing random, meaningless things just to prove that I care. AKA reading forums and pretending im studying english stuff. It`s great times so far. Which actually isnt sarcastic - Kyushu fuckin rocks except for the heat. Most of the girls here are extra super hot, and I think I am going to go to Fukuoka this weekend to find the arcades after I go to a gigantic fireworks festival tonight. YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH.

Edit: By the way, Aquapazza is fun! I don`t think I can take it any sort of serious though, the good stuff that I have seen is way too good. Theres like a Juda type character that seems super OP, and some of the assists are also super OP. One of the assists is just a girl that calls down a whole shitload of snowflakes that put you in annoying blockstun and is just really annoying to deal with.

But Tamaki is ridiculously fun. She`s the only character in the game with a run, and she is like Potemkin with a dash of MBAA Warc thrown in there. She has a super that slows the opponent down, a 720 and a hit super that wallslams and looks super badass. She also has heatknuckle. And a heatknuckle that doesn`t grab, its just a hit but it will hit grounded opponents. So you can do like AB 623C for a basic combo. And I played the hammer girl as my assist, so you can make the hammer girl swing her hammer after your heat knuckle is almost over to pick them back up once they fall out of it, and then super out of that for lots of damage. Oh yeah and she has Warcs weird invisible eyelaser thing from MBAA.

Each character has a pretty limited moveset, but each character also has an interesting addition to their movement. Tamaki can run, bowgirl can double jump, Touka can short hop and dash cancel her 5C, multi`s dash is a roll. Those are the only characters I played though.

Man that game sounds really anime. It should should feel right at home for DL. Glad you're enjoying yourself in Bearland, Japan loll. Hope your 4 week internet is worth it once you get it. When are the 1st year english teachers suppose to come?

On another note. I'm gonna be at Georgia Tech next week. Woot!!!

[TITANIUM BEAST!!!]

;_; Sadface

[Raviloli]

You have just no idea how anime it is. It makes Arcana Heart look like a damn main-stream fighting game in comparison, in my opinion. Its still kinda fun though.

And yes, my internet will be worth it with the wait. 50 MB/s download speeds for like 35 bucks a month? As much as I hate waiting for it, its gonna be niiiiiiice.

Good luck at Georgia Tech, Austin. May you build many large buildings that make no sense and are usually impractical, as architects are wont to do. At least theyre neat and artistic though.

P.S. SWEET JESUS KYUSHU IS SO HOT. The average temperature so far has been about 85....and they`re calling this shit a cool-wave. Yesterday the high was like 105 or some crap. And lest we forget about the humidity, today`s humidity is 74%....also on the low side of the norm. I think I will probably either die of heat stroke, or just sweating too much in general before school even fuckin starts, man.

Sounds like NC for the past couple of weeks. It's probably karma for leaving us. =P

Lulz, probably. The main difference is though, while it is probably almost as bad there, you don`t have to really walk anywhere outside. Plus just about everything is air conditioned.

It`s like a 20 minute walk to my closest school that I teach at, and air-conditioning is only in the teacher`s office. Thank god at least that has it.

More than the heat though, no internet/no cable combo is doin me in man. Youd think training mode all day erry day wouldnt be so bad, but if you dont have any resources to look stuff up, after like 4 days straight of AE training mode, I`m kinda struggling for things to practice. I guess execution wont be much of an issue for me anymore though. I also started playing, and subsequently beat all of Yakuza 3 last week. If you guys haven`t played that before, its super awesome. It`s like Shenmue, with a sort of Grand Theft Auto feel to it. I may order Yakuza 4 online if amazon.co.jp has it in English. Oh yeah, and since its the only box-set I brought with me, I think I have watched Firefly all the way through at least 4 times now.

[RoboCurse]

hi guys i m posting on my ps3 in florida so iwin the heat challenge but at least i can go online a bit. slowass connection so no online fightering. so i didnt die just practice mode all day with hakumen idont think im bringing back a ?potemkin? level but im much more interested in the game now. hope to be home saturday

[Raviloli]

Oh by the way guys, wanna see some of the cutest wildlife ever than inhabits my town? Google these 3 things:

Sparrow Hornet/Suzumebachi

Huntsman Spider

Mukade

Fuckin Southern Japan and its mutant bugs. Thank the lord I live on the 2nd floor so I dont get any of them in my apartment really.

Oh, training mode report too. I can reliably get 6 reps of RSF on Ryu now. My highest was 8. Maybe I should start playing Fuerte.

[testament101]

I'm pretty sure if I type in suzumebachi, I'm going to get some bleach reference

[Raviloli]

Oh sorry Kris, I figured you would be able to separate the Bleach results from a real-life insect. I guess I expected a little bit too much. Here.

Just in case you`re worried about not being able to somehow figure out what is what with the other two, HERE YOU GO.

I've waited 5 days to get my computer out of the computer shop to tell you that:

A. All 3 of those creatures look AWESOME

and

B. 8 RSF's? You play too much =P

[RoboCurse]

I'm back from Florida. I want to play blazblue. Hit me up fellas.

Dude. That is a big BIG BEHIND HORNET. That and all those creatures that live in your town. <__< Huntsman spider is known for being and cars and scaring people causing them to create automobile accidents.YouTube ftw. Maaan, I will hopefully go over to Japan to teach or study for half a year depending on how I hear back from Resumes and finish another degree this semester. (College is geetttin oold)

[Zoogstin]

Blake do you mind giving me a typed explanation of your problems with Carl's pokes. Carl's 6A is getting nerfed in CS2+ and people are flipping out. I'm not happy about the nerf but I'm not too worried. Regardless I told the Carl players that Carl will still be alright. Basically I kind of agree with you on the quality on his pokes.

[TITANIUM BEAST!!!]

His pokes are way too good given the type of character he is. On their own, they're not amazing, but given the nature of his playstyle, normal poke and zone games don't work on him, which ends up making his pokes way better than they actually are. I'll go into more detail at some point later on.

Nerfed 6A is friggin' awesome, if you ask me (hater by admission). Having that move for AA was just overkill and eliminated one of the few ways someone could potentially navigate around his nonsense. Carl's not easy to play, but when played properly, he just seems too good.

[Zoogstin]

I can definitely agree with a lot of that.

[RoboCurse]

Been back 2 weeks now and nobody even wants to play BB lol

[Zoogstin]

=( Come on people. Make a scene.

[Raviloli]

Im considering buying CS here and then using my damn phone as a Wi-fi hotspot to update to CS2. Im getting really tired of not having internet, cant play League, cant download CS2, cant fuckin ANYTHING WITHOUT INTERNET. Mostly gonna play cos my friends in Tokyo started playing it as well.

[RoboCurse]

=( Come on people. Make a scene.

I think you were the scene.

[vZakat]

I'd rather play GG. >_>

[TITANIUM BEAST!!!]

shrug I'll play, but I have to make it out to a gathering/tournament first, lol. I'll be busy this weekend, so no Charlotte for me.

And yes, I'd rather play GG. But I will still play BB. Most of the scene around here isn't interested, though.

[testament101]

is anyone having trouble loggin into srk? It won't let me log in. Won't even give me an error message...

[Zoogstin]

Yeah. I can't get in either. I had a feeling it was a site wide thing when I noticed the NC thread wasn't getting any new posts. But then again I think I saw some other threads move to the top. I don't know.

[gamewizard108]

so im on this anime swag now for good this time or at least until KOF comes out. is there anybody in this thread that plays BB on XBL besides zoogstin.
