West Coast Canada IV: "Ah yes, 'Guilty Gear' - we have already dismissed that game!"


Recommended Posts

What I love is all the various strats that go in. Like how the hall of fame crew that took down Roshan at 0.9 seconds.

Played against one team that tried the starvation method where they tried to hoard all their candies on the couriers until the very end, while stealing ours. It worked decently, but we still managed to win by camping their stash at the end because they had 0, and didn't manage to get back enough candy in time.

AOE teamfight strats like Tinker march with Alchemist acid.

Destroy opponents candy strat.

Hit and run with Storm and other blinkers

Yeah, teamfight heroes, especially at level 1 are pretty important. Undying, it's not the tombstone early, but the decay. Since everyone is swarming around the stashes, you're almost always gauranteed to steal from 2-4 heroes.

Pudge is also fun to hook defend campers

Centaur to just run in there and stun everyone.

Zues and Spectre for global strats against greed.

Luckily they fast patched the game today so Meepo, PL, and Naga aren't uber good anymore.

Gabe, what's your steam? I wanna trade for Essences.

I'm pretty sure the best way to win the Roshan fight super fast is to have both teams cooperate during the candy phase. Take candy from each other's stash and keep feeding it back into the system. Once everybody has levelled up a bit, have a few farmers go out and get more candy from the woods since attack speed + shuttling will be capped by the 25 candy, so it's more effective to introduce more candy into the candy supply. Even though everybody gets their money bumped to about 2^24 at the moment of Roshan fight, that's not enough to buy stuff like 5 rapiers or 5 bflys.

Just saw wreck-it ralph. SO GOOD. obligatory moments of CLAREEENCE (peace be upon him) asides, it's easily the best movie based on video games yet, which is kind of sad

went in just expecting references; got said references AND a good story/characters/development/soundtrack/etc. right up there with up, highly recommend

Any of you guys want a DOTA2 key?

I've got 2. I might give one to somebody local here, but at least one of them is up for grabs for you guys. Mike?

I think we are good. Wu and I offered Mike a while back but he doesn't play enough to warrant a key. In any case I have a spare key as well on one of my accounts.

Opened up old copy of #R on PC

Tried to do gunflame FRC

Can only do it like 25% of the time

Gimmicky riot stomp FRC I can get >75% of the time, but I think even in #R it has a way bigger FRC window (4F in AC vs. 2F for GF in AC).

Due to the way the input is, I can't tell if I tend to be too early or too late on it. Is there some trick to figuring out the timing without recording what I'm doing on FRAPS?

I believe how I learned it when I played Sol in #R was when the first pillar starts to come out. Either that or a certain voice set when he says "gunf-" is the timing.
