Bring her to Foonzo, I think it's a better place to show than the HQ for a first timer, frankly. We've got one girl, we can't scare her! :P

Get her introduced first and we'll go from there. Gotta be careful with beginners since the amount of work you have to put in fighters can be daunting. Take it easy at first, then we can move on to more difficult stuff.

I agree with Nolan. The HQ is such a creepy place that she could easily get scared off. I, for one, went there for the first time for the Smash meetups and found it completely freaky as hell (not to mention that the lights weren't even on during that day!).

I'm pretty sure that the beginner tutorial in BBCS does quite a bit of the job (at least, a guy I know started FGs with that). I could help her out if you need a hand but I'm a scrub. So scrubby player teaching scrubby beginner seems stupid. I've taught FGs to other friends (and my brother) just fine. But I first started with Street Fighter, so go figure.

Yeah it's true, a lot of things can scare beginners away from FGs. The most common, from personal experiences, being having to learn difficult combos, playing unforgiving opponents, dealing with shit talk/salt, etc. since really they just want to have fun. One of the frustrating points is when you learn your first BnB but can't place it in a real match.

I will definitely help out if people bring beginners, I like to teach and make the community grow if I can, but I'd rather not dedicate ALL of my time at the HQ to that. Gotta work on them commentating skills whenever I can, and I have to play as much GG and AH3 as I can while having opponents. That said, I don't know Makoto combos at all so I'd be mostly there for fundamentals. I have a really hard time breaking out of auto-pilot when I play, but I know my stuff.

I'd stick to stuff like "don't jump" "stop pressing buttons and block" "use the A and B buttons more", the only thing I'm worried about is getting carried away with the lingo and everything :psyduck: I think doing the tutorials and playing opponents who give feedback and don't go all out is the way to learn.

And hey am I the only one who doesn't think the HQ is creepy. (well, excluding the outside and elevators)

I'll teach her. I'm good at teaching new people FG's, I'm harsh though. So take me as you will (yes homo).

Who does she use?

Most importantly, is she attractive?

If she's not Brice can have her.

Lol. You're not good at teaching. You're fucking worse than me. Remember how you scared away that one Makoto player by not knowing how to hold back?

And as far as attractive goes, if you like stoner chicks, you'll like her since she's always high. If you don't, then move along.

Either way, she's used goods:cool:

I'll see if I can get her to meet ups, cause I don't think playing someone as ruthless(astral perfect that bitch all day lol) as me is healthy for a beginner. Not sure how serious she wants to get though, so she might not want to go as far as going to HQ.

I'll definitely take her to Foonzo at some point though. It's also a café, so that makes it much simpler.

There's also one of my boys who plays smash who's looking for people to play against, in case any of you play smash. Who knows, maybe he could transition from smash to BB/SF/Marvel if exposed to a vibrant scene.

I tried explaining him that Brawl is ass, but it's his first and only FG, and he's fucken stubborn.

On another note, who's down for HQ on thursday? Haven't played some serious BB in a while now, might be getting a bit rusty trolling beginners.

IMO it's a good idea to at least show what it's like when you get serious at a game, maybe the person is slightly interested at first but then sees that it looks like a really fun thing to learn. Of course the alternative is also very realistic, I'm just optimistic sometimes. Foonzo implies stick, which might make it more interesting for beginners, maybe... am I being too optimistic here?

Ugh brawl, well if people want to play it I don't mind bringing it (or melee) if it's for a Sunday. I will however look down on everyone who plays

and blow you up with mah jigglypuff.

I should be there Thursday.

I lol'd and thought exactly the same. Brice, she's all yours :eng101:.

Well, for beginners, you're the worst teacher ever. As you simply perfect their ass and start laughing. But I'll be honest and say that I've learned quite a few things, playing you and getting my ass punished almost 100% of the time for doing risky blockstrings/mixups. So keep doin' your thing bro. :cool:

And wait, skinny pink-loving africans do stoner chicks? SRSLY?

I'm coming on thursday btw. Unless something comes up, I should be there every thursdays.

And Kirbster, I was browsing through my HDD and found this for you.

Uh-oh. Stoner and we're talking about dedication in the same sentence? Well, there's always exceptions... Maybe she'd make a good Ara. Mash buttons and suddenly! 10k combo. Aww yeahhh, maaan. :P

I prefer the classy type (naturally :P) with a good sense for deadpan humor. :kitty:

I'll be there if the adapters come in on time.

Ken, you'd be surprised. Sometimes i look gay with the pink outfit, but sometimes, I look G as fuck, blunt in my mouth, super red eyes and you don't wanna fucking mess with me lol. I'm not G though, i'm a big softie :DDDDD

I guess you could say my dressing style is bipolar lool.

@Nolan: I thought we were cool bro... *SADFACE FOR HAVING HIS DEDICATION DOUBTED*

Lol, I'm not doubting it. My brother used to smoke a ton of that stuff and his hobby is making prototype jet engines (though it's been a while since he's made one because he started Uni). Just beware of the long-term health effects. They'll get to you. :P

Posted

I don't smoke that much actually. 3-4 times a week, sometimes a bit more. I thought weed was healthy in the long run O_o

That's ONE time. And he was already scared by how many loud ass black people were in the room.

I'm actually good, ask Nolan and Steb. they remember when Gabe used to come.

Either way, she's used goods:cool:

Good luck Brice:thumbu:

Also Pedro. NEVER, EVER show someone knew high level play until they master the basics. Otherwise they get scared off.

No, only him.

this for you.

Sounds like excuses to me. Trynna justify your failure and making a BB player leave our scene for good. I am dissapoint

What's with the brice hate lol? Is that the new fad?

And high level play is what fascinates people. I would have never gotten into BB if i was watching scrubby play. Pretty sure she wouldn't(she's not really INTO IT though..) either if i was doing lame ass combos(NOT IMPLYING MY COMBOS ARE HIGH LEVEL PLAY OR ANYTHING BTW)

And yup, probably only me lol. Niche markets are the shit, don't they teach you that in JMSB?

Thursday meet up is looking hype. My hazama is out for blood.

DDDDDAAAAAAMMMMNNNN people hatin' tonight....

are you all butthurt or something??

and since when does a random girl would get my attention considering that i'm a sick fuck that has a pendant for 2D girls, and being conscious of this, i'm don't think i could get to like girls that are the exact opposite of me.... :P

and lol at nini smoking way too much weed AND thinking it's good for you.... simple fact for you : if you're not breathing air in your lungs, then it's clearly gonna destroy everything in there, not as fast as, say hot lava, but it's always gonna destroy you.....

thursday meet up is looking hella hype and i'll try not losing :P

i did play arcana heart yesterday practicing those bnb's and playing lots of different characters to know their moves and shit.... :3

i think that's it for now.... and no i don't think HQ is creepy, don't know where youlived up 'till now, but if you find industrial places creepy, get out of your hole and go to ghetto, it's not looking very creepy, but you gonna get backraep before you know it, at least that's what i think, and anyway, nobody stays late in those kind of streets there's nothing but lots of concrete building...

LOL @ Nini thinking that smoking blunts and having red eyes make you look G. I do occasionally too

(read: once a month, not 3 or 4 times a week, you fiend)

.

"I look G as fuck" really makes me think of Wiz Khalifa lool. I'm just messing with you, bro hahaha.

You're talking about outside, but I was talking about INSIDE. First time I went, it was all dark, it was a cockfest (like always) and everybody was sweating like hell. And Cranky looks ridiculously gangster once you step in, intimidated by the whole crowd, LOL.

We've BEEN hating on Brice my nigga, where you at?

I'm gay

HQ isn't as pretty as Foonzo. Simple, it's better to bring her there.

Yo watch Brice hook up with this chick real talk.

Especially if she says she has a penis lol.

1. Makoto nanaya (DUH! :3)

2. 2D girls / real girls that are my type (which is kinda rare to find i admit)

3. real girls that are not in the 2. category

in between : pretty much anything i find attractive i guess.....

last : guys.

and lol nini getting once again the most extreme perception of what you could say.... :P

Posted

So men ARE on your list of what you'd hit. I'll keep that in mind Brice.

Don't worry Blade, I got this. It'll be fine, I'll just defuse her pants and trigger her hips.
