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


Recommended Posts

Are Friday sessions at Salt Mines now?

I haven't played with you guys in a good while, I've been juggling so many games, I think I just need to pick a few and stick with those.

Should I just play P4A until the new BB gets localized here?

Needs more AH3 :3

Most anime players just play P4A now, but I'd love to see an AH3 or especially Melty Blood revival

Posted

I'll wait for Love Max for AH3, and I'd love to get back into Melty, but I can't help but feel it looks dated at this point. :v:

It's still fun though, I'll give it that.

Somebody bring a MB setup to saltmines. I still get down on that. Or I can bring mine, but my USB slots are iffy (they seem to work now though).

Also, is there any love for SG down here??? I know Dios X and I play it, but I don't know anyone else here that still does.

Posted

We still play SG (technically, I think I'm the only one who still plays it), plus I need train for EVO for it.

Plus, if you need, I have a USB expansion ports for your setup.

I have extra expansions I can bring as well. There is one decent port that I can use and I connect the expansion to that. You'll see this Friday if you come.

Good to see you still play SG. I'm currently redoing my whole team. Are you still maining Valentine? I'm finally deciding to learn Filia, she's ridiculous imo. I still main Fortune/Valentine though.

Oh yeah, if anyone is interested, I also have Akatsuki Blitzkampf, Vanguard Princess, that game with "MC Supercuts", and I think I have Ougon Musou Kyoku (not sure).

Lastly, I'm going out on a limb here, but do any of you guys play Battle Fantasia???

I am always down to try new FGs but I will not be there this week.

I still play solo Valentine, right now I'm deciding if I want a second character or not. I'll be there Friday, but as usual I'll be late to it due to work.

Posted

No sweat. I'll be heading there around 615pm. Solo Valentine is pretty good I think-- maybe not as good as solo Peacock, but still good nonetheless.

I don't know what Chaos Code is like, but I do plan on buying it soon. People that do play the game love it for its freedom in terms of how you can choose certain aspects of the character you play.

Posted

Chaos code is like anime games and KOF had a weird baby. It's a four button game like KOF, light and strong punch/kick. You can choose 2 extra moves on your character before the match, there are 4 to choose from. 2 are specials, 2 are supers, but you can choose both specials, both supers, or one of each.

It has some really weird (but in my opinion cool) characters but who really cares about anyone that isn't Bravo. Roa has it, maybe he'll let you guys try it tomorrow.

"chaos code is like anime games and kof had a weird baby" is a pretty good description. in terms of system mechanics it has EX moves, parries(take a bit of meter and have a whiff but lead into a juggle), a max-mode esque thing, choice between dashes and runs, no airblocking, instant airdashes, lenient ABCD chains, rolls, double jumps, air tech, high jump cancel(out of normals and runs iirc),and special->super cancel(for one more stock iirc).

imo design of normals for a lot of charas is kof reminiscent and the combos you do at max meter are similar to silly hyperdrive mode/whatever mode combos. aside from long tons-o-meter combos, combos are usually basic stuff aside from some juggles(off certain CHs/air hits) i guess. lenient chain system and you have a GIANT input buffer(like 20f) so you will never drop links, ever~~

anti airing is sort of weird because you rely on parry(back+C+D so if you do it late no big deal~) which leads into a full juggle, and dragonpunches. normal anti airs arent necessarily bad, it is just that air normals are so good and doing IAD is so good at like mid range that you have to rely on parry/dp to beat that sort of thing consistently.

walk speeds and movement in general is really good. i want those walkspeeds in an arcsys game or sfxt

neutral feels weird imo, seems hard to play a reactive defense but i dunno. there's lots of weird projectiles though like catherine's bells and iirc almost all projectiles keep going even if the shooter gets hit. there's also teleports, celia-II's teleport is sooo annoying. its really neither anime nor kof in terms of neutral, it just has elements of both(rolls, weird anime projectiles) that create something weird.

one thing that i really like about it is that heavy normals on counterhit lead to giant hitstun, so you can seriously do like a typical far HK, link a dash, and then start a combo. makes up for a lot of HKs not being cancellable on block. not that great in range/speed but their hitboxes and reward seem strong.

input interpreter isnt quite like kof or anime but are kind of in the middle, i guess

cast is quite good imo moveset wise.(and design wise for me but whatever) cthylla, celia, catherine, hermes, and kudlak in particular are interesting. i like the protagonist more than most protagonists gameplay wise. bravo doesnt stand out much in gameplay especially considering what other charas have but i guess if you want a more "normal" grappler than potemkin/tager/cerebella then whatever

if you like aspects of anime fgs or KOF you MIGHT like it but no guarantee, at all. btw im bad at the game that's just the information that i learned about it from messing with it/watching it/generally being comparative when i approach fgs

blame flod for me posting here

ALSO VANGUARD PRINCESS IS FUN AS FUCK EVEN THOUGH ITS WEIRD AND DOESNT HAVE SPECIAL CANCELS. BEST NON-AIRDASHER. kaede, saki and natalia are the most awesome

I'm probably not going to make it this Friday. It's been (being?) a pretty crazy week, and I have this continuously-growing pile of important stuff that needs to be taken care of.

Have fun all ;^;

Posted

i'll be at the saltmines friday night. donnie if you want a ride, get to my house before 7pm, as that's when i usually get home from work.

also, i'll probably be driving up to la separately on saturday, but if htat changes, i'll let you know.

Posted

thanks for the Chaos Code effort post, mightfo.

And yeah, people that wanna carpool can either PM me or post here about it, I'll check the thread on friday night or saturday morning before I leave. It seems to work best if we can leave SD at around 12.

Posted (edited)

Yeah, I'll try to get there. Thanks shtkn. I'll also bring every fighting game I have, which includes AH3, since I have that on disc.

edit: and I haven't played P4A in months so I could definitely use a refresher course.

I'm still going... I'll bring my laptop next time though, but I'll have my other stuff this time...

Posted

Welp something came up and I need to take care of it so I won't be able to go, maybe next week. But I'll definitely do my best to be at the next OFC, whenever that is! :yaaay:

Posted

Definitely support OFC but don't forget about your local anime players :(

If this is the sole reason you skipped out... Then it's the worst reason I've ever heard. It wasn't even raining at 7!
