I didn't have a ride to fight night, Milln.

Crap dude, I didn't check the thread once I got there. You know I'd have given you a ride if you asked me.

I'd like to preemptively welcome Justice to both Tennessee and to the MTNG crew! He just moved here from Indiana and likes Persona. He just started, and likes all the characters. Everyone be nice to him!

Edit: First post has been updated, please observe and ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN.

All right, LATE JACKIE SPEED SHOUTOUTS LET'S GO:

Milln: TOURNEYS~ <3 XOXOXO I'll be looking forward to seeing that Yosuke FC combo in KoB. AND SHENANIGANS. Do them. It'll be hype~. :3

Astaroth: Jesus, your Kanji is scary. I think I've figured out what my problem is, and I'll work on it before next time. But SRSLY. Those first two games we played. Gawd dayum. XD Still, you're as fun to play against as always, and I'll be looking forward to seeing how you've improved come King of Bling. :D

Dax: MTN moar Yosuke! And/or Yosuke mirrors. It's like a DBZ match, shit's flying and teleporting everywhere. Nice meeting you!

Doromac: ERMAGERD GET P4A AND START RAPING US AT IT

Keith: ERMAGERD STOP LIVING PLACES THAT AREN'T TENNESSEE

Klein: Pocket Labrys WTF?!

Midnight: GOD DAMMIT YOU WOULD MAIN AIGIS PKQMF PIOJKMPOWKQMDINFDE. Good to have you back~.

MrMinionMan: NIIIIIIIIIII-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Naimat: I'VE FAILED THE XBOX LIVE. PROFOUND. SADNEEEEEEEESS ;~;

Negro Justice: “Chandler's such a bitch” LOL <3. You should commentate my matches some time~.

Papstr: GAWD TEDDIE'S DP IS RETARDED.

Star: HERP DERP. The Jackie number system apparently skips 1 and goes straight to 2. Still, great games in Grand Finals, with lots of dumb, hype moments. Just the way I like 'em~. I'll be working on that Mitsuru matchup, so you better watch out!

Tad: Man, screw weddings. But thanks a bunch for coming down afterwards~. The absence of beard will take some getting used to. XP

TotalNinja: I saw you in the P4A brackets, and I have no idea who you were. D: But that's why you need to come out again! INTRODUCE YOSELF, BOI.

Uri: Grow up faster so you can drive down here yourself! Lol. Hope you can make it down here to destroy us soon~.

Volpe: I don't care what anybody says about Liz. She's freakin' scary, and I see that when playing you.

Zeth: I think I kind of touched up on this in person a bit, but keep up the good work in Persona! I know what a difficult transition coming from SF can be, but it'll all come to you soon enough- and once it does, it'll be a much easier game, even moreso than SF. Looking forward to playing again!

Arson/Azure/Bishop/Boom Cube/Eireprince/G-Ram/Grimstar/Justin/K.O./KhaosMuffins/Phil/Ponder/Shinblade/Tret/Zeno: WHERE YU AT?

Anyone I forgot: Lemme know and I'll give you a shout-out ASAP!

So, Jackie and I were talking earlier today on YouTube about combos and things of that manner, and we came up with the idea for a MTNG combo video. It'd be similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibFf_Zc1Obc and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSwxcsSt4Go

Personally, I say we go for P4U and BB only.

What do you guys think?

I approve the shit out of this. Why has, like, only one person responded to this? COME ON GUYS WTF.

Also, if my late-as-eff shoutouts weren't indication enough, I've been busy as FUCK. Still working on editing and processing videos. Hoping to start uploading some time soon.

Regarding videos- some of you may have noticed that some of our videos in the past have ended up like this- basically, a box inside a box. The reason this happens is because some of the TVs we play accept component, but won't display video unless I set the cables to a standard TV output. Naturally, I'm forced to record whatever resolution we're forced to play on.

However, I was messing around with some settings in Vegas, and it turns out there's a way for me to set the resolution to widescreen without much degradation in quality! So whenever this happens from now on, I'll make sure to process the videos this way. And as for Saturday's videos, I'll go back and re-process them all from the beginning. Sorry for the wait so far.

Hey guys.

I've got stuff for King of Bling we need to start posting and getting the word out. I don't necessarily know for SURE how much work you all have been doing, but here's some extra tools. Kudos the the ones that have already put in work, keep it up and keep promoting and keep generating hype.

This is a flier suitable for printing and handing out to the populace as well as posting. If you're in college, you should spam it in the hallways, on bulletin boards, and on that little post that has a bunch of junk on it with little strips of paper you can tear off. At work, I'm sure you can post this in the break room. If you're still in high school, there's clubs you could be dropping this at, and on bulletin boards, telling classmates, everyone. I even recommend going around to businesses, especially game stores but not limited to them, and asking if you can leave flier to post in their break room and for display on their counter. You'll get turned down often on the counter, thing, but there's always the break room.

This is more of a banner for linking people on forums and websites.

This is a reddit link that NO ONE HAS TOUCHED IN THREE WEEKS. Upvote, place the url everywhere, do something with it!

A tinyurl is available at www.tinyurl.com/KingofBling

A tinyurl for the SRK thread is available at http://tinyurl.com/KingofBlingSRK

A tinyurl for this thread is also available at www.tinyurl.com/MiddleTennesseeNeedsGaming

To quote a recent post of mine in the King of Bling thread: "There's talk of I may get an extra 250 dollar put in the Persona pot (making it 500$ to first place) if I can confirm at least 50 entrants. Show me the people, and I will show you the money." Which is incredible, but I need confirmed entrants to make it happen.

That MTNG combo video, if we get it finished soon enough, we can use that as a Persona hype trailer.

We've already got Michigan (Axis and Brandino), Georgia (ZomB, Eshi, and whoever else they bring), and Ohio (Kyle & his crew) we need MORE people from MORE states and MORE hype, not just for Persona, but for ALL of the events, fellas! Get excited, get enthusiastic, get practiced up, but most importantly get the word out!

I'll print some fliers out and see about putting them up here at Tech. I also made a Reddit account JUST to upvote that link, so I hope it gets some attention soon.

In case any of you were curious about the difference in videos, compare and contrast.

As for this combo video, come on guys! Let's get talking! We obviously have enough character variety to make it a multi-character video, but what's the focus gonna be? Should it be big dumb combos? Should it be stupid stuff? Should it be how many X can we get in one combo? Should it be something else? Or should it be a combination of things?

It should be whatever we want. Milln's going for something silly, I am too.

Because as far as I can tell most of Liz's combo potential comes from magarudyne shenaniganz. And basic magarudyne combos are already stupid difficult due to character specific floatiness.

@King of Bling on reddit - I love how 4 or 5 people actually upvoted, but it got 3 down votes for whatever reason. WTF? r/Fighters is kinda slow, and most of the tournament listings on the front page have already gone by. Dunno why anyone would downvote.

I never responded to the combo video idea due to the fact that i'm not all that interested in combo videos in P4U. I'd much rather make a tutorial video than a combo one or something. I do have some combos I can contribute, but again, i'm not all that interested. Plus, since Woz has come up with a few Mitsuru combos already, i'm sure he'd have that covered.

I'd really like to make a tutorial video one day though.

It doesn't have to be combo oriented. Klein and I are going for complete jokes.

Posted

Speaking of tutorial videos, I think a detailed video showing examples of punishing every character's DP with every other character would be cool to make. Plus you see so many people flippin their balls over not knowing what to do against half of them.

Or just have a huge compilation showing how silly it looks when Yosuke's DP punishes shit like Akihiko's Maziodyne or Elizabeth's awakening grab thingamajig.

Posted

Yosuke's DP through Akihiko's Maziodyne is actually really useful. You have a goofy grin throughout the whole thing and it doesn't count as hitting you, so Akihiko can't use that tactic to one more cancel and get in, kinda like a 100 heat Chie meteor.

Yellow light returns. . . Lovely. Well, at least I got to enjoy Persona for a month and a bit.

In other news, Under Night In-Birth released in Japanese arcades today. There's a tournament this saturday, so expect some footage to be popping up any day now.

Posted

Been searching all over the web for some kind of confirmation for a release day stream for Under-Night, or at least some footage, no luck though. Probably going to hear something by tomorrow since the tourney takes place Saturday...GAH! MY HYPE!

Posted

Also Tokyo Game Show this weekend will have the near final build of Blazblue Chronophantasm!! So the changes listed will be close to the end product!

Good newssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

My parents' boss just told them they don't have to go to NC as early next month, which means I should be able to make King of the Bling Saturday for Persona! :D

Ballliiiiiinnnn'! One more for Team Tennessee!

On a Persona note: I feel comfortable "enough" with my normals and movement and how they work to start playing how I really want to play. Klein, Zeth, and Patrick saw the work in progress, I think i've worked out some of the kinks to where I feel confident I can play like that, how I feel Yosuke, my Yosuke anyway, is 'supposed' to be played.

The team to represent our region should be decided based on who shows up to King of Bling but to me the ideal team to represent TN, if it's 5v5, is:

Bishop

Star

Astaroth

Chandler

Uri

Benchwarmer: Volpe (incase one of the above do not show up)

A strong variety that covers all the bases.

Chie - Rush down mix up

Mitsuru - Rush down poker with anti zoning tools

Kanji - Grappler with anti zoning tools

Narukami - All-around rushdown with godlike oki

Shadow Labrys - Rush down puppet master reliant on cross-ups.

Could use a bit more variety, imo.
