It's super short notice, so were not gonna do mk9 at this upcoming MTNG. Thank you for your thoughts. -Possibly- July.

lol MK: when Americans try to make a fighting game.

My issues with MK9:

*projectiles pass through each other

Eh, I'm on the fence on this.

*blockstrings do chip damage

Meh.

*combos do too much damage

Makes for faster matches, I like it. Plus if you're playing it right, breakers are a heavy counter to this anyways.

*Xray does too much damage

Agreed.

*buffer system is too lenient, makes for a lot of unintentional inputs

You just dial it. Don't try to time it. At all.

*you can make several moves be reversals on wakeup with 8 frames of invul. some of them being relatively safe

Raiden'D.

*Several characters have a teleport which ruins the spacing aspect of the game to some degree.

Raiden'D.

*As the metagame progresses I see it boiling down to this: projectile game --> teleport in ---> blockstring----> jump away ---> rinse and repeat

As you can tell from the tier list already characters who don't have a projectile suffer greatly and those who don't have teleports also do but not as much as those without a projectile. Unless they do some dramatic changes the game will be flushed out in a year.

Nah, almost every character's teleport is unsafe (except for fucking Raiden) and most of the projectile spammers can be countered WITH teleports relatively easily. You can bait teleports really easily. And punish them very easily. Same with projectiles. It's a good mix.

Needless to say, I'm up for a MK tourney. Fo damn sho.

I just bought Munchkin and all of its regular expansions and I officially live in Murfreesboro starting Tuesday. If anyone wants to come over and play it or BlazBlue or anything some day/evening you're more than welcome. Just give me a heads up. See you awesome people the day after tomorrow.

FUGGIN' HYPE

So yeah, took me until now to realize I don't have any kind of xbox peripheral. Anyone got a spare stick or even pad+cord I can borrow for the duration of the tournament?

Just to be clear, I added a rule regarding infinites and glitches in mvc3 to the front page.

Game feels like Smash Bros. Brawl with the amount of stupid bs in it.

I have a spare wireless Tekken fight stick I always bring to MTN, and no one ever uses it. You're more than welcome to use that for the duration of the tourney, but if you'd rather borrow someone else's since the majority of stick-users seem to think it's of crappy quality, I wouldn't be offended.

Also... Update on the videos. In a cruel twist I should have expected, my computer seems to have trouble uploading them. It gets a few percent of the video up, then the ETA on the finishing time goes up to matters of DAYS. I (stupidly) thought it might be something with my internet connection, but after doing a couple tests with my mom's laptop it seems it's just my computer. Needless to say I'll be transferring all the videos to an external hard drive, then to her laptop to upload these two month old videos. Ugh. This is the last time I'll be using my computer for anything more than recording. The rest of the editing and uploading will be done on my parents' computers so I can get these to you guys in time that you all actually care about the videos.

@Jackie I might take you up on that offer. I mean, I put up with Snipe's unmodded SF SE that drops inputs and just doesn't feel natural, so I'm kinda used to sticks that're less than amazing so to speak.

I think it's more of a comfortability issue than an internal hardware issue so to speak, but I'll let you try it out before you decide.

MTNG: We record videos and don't upload them.

Sf Se sticks make me laugh and sigh at the same time. Papstr has his that I gave to him along with some seimitsu buttons that he has now made his own. I'm proud of my Papstr.

Which is exactly my point. The game revolves around teleports and projectiles. Projectiles beat teleports and teleports beat non projectile approaches. As far as teleports being unsafe as long as someone throws out an attack or tries to establish some offense the opponent's teleports are practically safe because I haven't seen a character with an attack that has a hitbox behind them. And teleports are especially safe when you use the ex versions for some which has super armor.

well most people's teleports startup takes longer than simple normals do to execute... so they have to be doing something really unsafe. You can't just throw out teleports wheneverdafuk unless you're Raiden.

It's really more like SF where you play more towards anti-airs and throws, and doing small counter hits to get your damage, rather than always going for combos.

Milln I'll make sure to bring your copy of MvC3 back. I don't even want to play MvC3 anymore, it ruins my fundamentals and makes me a worse BB player =(

Posted

believe it or not I feel like MK has actually helped improve my fundamentals.

If it has helped you "improve" your fundamentals then you had none in the first place.

I'm about to leave. Everyone who has MvC3, be sure to bring a copy (we always have plenty of Blazblue copies). We're gonna have a lot of setups thanks to Milln.

lolno

MK has a decent footsies game, surprisingly. It's a slower paced game, so it helps a lot with basic punishing stuff on block. And it has a lot of simplistic stuff like mind games with sweep, throws, uppercuts, etc
