San Diego's thread of meetups every Friday Night at SD Saltmines

[hakimiru]

So as a heads up:

I will not be coming to next Friday's meetup. I'm gonna be staying with my parents in Irvine and going to all the P4A related stuff thats happening up here this week and it would be inconvenient to come down just for one day.

Also, I've terminated my lease so I'm gonna be gone by the end of this month. Like I said before, I'll keep showing up to the meetups on Fridays for as long as I can afford it, so I won't be completely gone.

Sorry to hear we're losing you :<

Let me know if you need help with the move or something.

And I'm probably going to skip this Friday's meetup as well, at least until the P4 hype either builds up or dies down.

Bad news. Walmart ain't got it even though I called earlier and they said they'd have it. I came here for noooothhhinnnggg. Lol. I didn't see anyone else there, but don't go of you're reading this.

Too late =(

GGs Ichi. I don't know what it is, but it seems like when I'm playing online, everyone can meaty 5a me through just about everything I do and I can't do shit about it. I'm hoping this is just due to the internet and not part of the actual game. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I go play people in person.

Also, the lack of hard knockdowns REALLY annoys me. There isn't a nice back and forth like other games, its just unpredictable clusterfuck all the time. I don't think that is an endearing game trait.

This game sucks, we should just play the new BB instead. #kappa

[Ichipoo]

Shoutouts to Wallice for making me consider switching mains. Can't get anybody to respect Naoto, must be netplay? Anyway I guess this shows I need to stop playing an "in your face" Naoto and just play "hit and run" with me scattering traps all over the place, shooting bullets and having her Persona start pressure.

And don't sweeps have hard knockdown? At least that's what I think. Also, fuck main character... j/k

GGs though. Sucks that you're moving, I wouldn't mind helping as well if I have time.

[Wild Wallice]

Sweeps do hard knockdown but are difficult to combo from and make your combos do significantly less damage. They're pretty much there so you can call your persona safely and then do some oki. It seems that there are few if any specials that have hard knockdown at all, which means if you complete your combo you had better have a tech trap ready to catch them. Its different, I'm sure I'll get used to it after a while.

Meanwhile, in BBCP Loketest Land:

[shtkn]

you also forgot to mention 5B lost jump cancel, 6C lost dash cancel

yeah, these changes make no sense to me, but i guess we'll see what happens. reports said that they sped up hte game (less hitstop) and combos are shorter in general, so... yeah

[Jyosua]

You're forgetting that 214B can now be charged to fulfill the purpose of 214A and the first hit is a low. Unfortunately, they're no longer able to be performed in the air though... I don't know what the fuck they were thinking with removing 6C's dash cancel though. 5B is highly unfortunate, but the move is still okay without it, despite the impact that has on pressure. 6C on the other hand...

[Wild Wallice]

GGs to Glod and Ichi. Ichi, you froze up at the end there so I just disbanded the room. Also, fuck your j.c or whatever move where the stupid butterfly stabs downward. So much range and so many active frames goddamn. It was responsible for pretty much all my persona breaks.

[glod]

Chairs. That is all

[Ichipoo]

Yeah sorry about that, needed to help my dad with something really quick but forgot to log off.

Anyway yeah Naoto's j.C is good, but remember that there is some start up to it so just throw out a quick j.A or j.B to tag her. And I think I'm starting to get used to Yu, just need to break off some habits.

And glod, we need to play 1 on 1 for a long period of time sometime tonight if you're down, I need to familiarize myself with the Kanji matchup.

Also guys, install the game, it helps cut down the lag a bit.

[Wild Wallice]

I did install actually. That's usually the first thing I do with every game I get.

[DonnieRye]

I could use some online lessons :P

Just the fact that I can airdash still kinda blows my mind.

[Wild Wallice]

Send me a friend request on PSN and I'll invite to you our rooms next time we have them. I think there might be a few other people who I need to friend on PSN still. Need to look into that.

[glod]

I'll install the game. And I'll be a little busy tonight Ichi unless you want to play kinda late. Like after 8 or 9.

[DonnieRye]

Yeah, I think I'll just start adding random PSNs from this thread. Feel free to decline if you'd like to. Just trying to get some learning done.

[Ichipoo]

I'll install the game. And I'll be a little busy tonight Ichi unless you want to play kinda late. Like after 8 or 9.

I'll be watching the Olympics til 10 pm, and I can play til 1 am or later, like what me and Wallice did last night.

And Donnie, feel free to add me, I don't mind helping people get used to the game.

Oh and if I can barely hold my own against Wallice's Yu, I wonder how shtkn's must be like.

[DonnieRye]

So I noticed you can't just hold up to jump cancel. Do you have to do it as soon as your attack hits? I literally cannot do this BnB because it requires a jump cancel and I can't do it, lol.

[glod]

I just came in fourth in a day one netplay tournament I'm not sure how to feel about that. I love being a grappler on Week 1

[TsukiBaka]

PSN: TsukiBaka, I can help out giving tips here and there.

.. Just in case people didnt know. Im Steven.

[Wild Wallice]

Ichi, I would say Shtkn is a bit behind, since he is focusing on Mitsuru rather than Narukami a the moment. If he decides to get serious I'm sure it'll be pretty deadly.

Good shit Glod. Now you gotta get first at the next tournament.

[DonnieRye]

Looking forward to the Friday meetup. I really want to improve.

Mitsuru huh? Well I need to experience a variety of matchups anyway.

Gonna put myself on blast right now, I just went 0-26 with TsukiBaka's Labrys. I mean Christ, it's like nothing I do ever works lol, even if I try to play Naoto "correctly." If you watch our matches, it's a perfect example of a player getting perfectly read.

Tsuki, sorry if you were expecting a better Naoto player, I'm sure you could've done something more productive with your time lol. I guess if there's one redeeming thing about how I play is that I'm persistent? haki knows hahaha. But I'm impressed though, you play like you've been playing this game for months. :
