Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming! Monthly Versus Tourneys - Antioch, TN


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
I can't believe you guys even suspected Gear would make it. As much as we all love Gear, you guys should know that it's not a popular game at all.

I guess my perspective was skewed from all the weeaboos anime fighters I hang with. Either way, I'm sure it'll have a hype side tourney.

It's part of the donation poll here with Melty, Brony Fight, and a bunch of other crap.

Charity, huh? Well, involving more money than it already takes just to get to Evo excludes anime fighters from even dreaming of taking that slot.

Also, people still play Mortal Kombat competitively?

Yep. They have a big scene at testyourmight.com although in Tennessee they don't exist. GoldenOreos is the only one around. Jason, too.

My house is always open for Persona, Kof, or street fighter(I'm terrible but you guys can come) practice just text me or Justin before you actually come over.

Whoa, wait. You can mod pads? As in dual mod? What's Khaos Theory talkin' 'bout? 'Cuz holy shit, I would sell my body in a heartbeat if this was possible. This would fix everything. Well, aside from FD dashing, which I'm increasingly of the opinion that a stick is necessary for.

And while I'm stalking Milln's twitter, I'm checkin out the cronus converter, too. I thought Jackie got one of these and there was some kinda issue where it wasn't effective for fighters? Or was that some other converter?

You can definitely dual mod pads, it's what my little sfxt fight pad I got from Duckie was. It was a prototype, but yeah, worked fine until someone started flipping switches.

Yes KT can mod pads. They do more... Cosmetic modifications, though. They don't yet offer a dual-console modification service.

Jackie loves his Cronus. He uses it all the time.

Nah, that was a different converter. The Cronus works fantastically for Xbox 360 to PS3. The only thing is, I haven't tested it on PS3 to Xbox 360, because (from what I can tell) you need to acquire a Bluetooth adapter to connect the PS3 controller to the device. All my attempts to connect via the USB cable proved unsuccessful.

Maybe, but the good news is that FD dashing is entirely unimportant. FD braking however....

Anybody headiNg to Khaos Theory this Friday(tomorrow)? I'll be there all night getting used to my games again, would enjoy if I had bros to play with and keep me company. If I need to pick someone up, I will, as long as you're cool with not going back till Sunday.

Jackie I can clean hit grand viper semi consistently now. Prepare your anus.

Also, i did 5K,5S, clean grand viper, into clean hit fafnir into 3 sidewinders on Ky. Its a pretty good feeling to watch a character's lifebar drop to half.

inb4Klein comes in with something like "Now if only your neutral game wasn't ass."

Like, you can mixup, and combo, but as long as you use shortcuts like Riot Stomp to get in instead of playing a real footsies game, you're gonna get fisted. You'll get it as long as you work on it, but you have to work on it.

Yea, I've used Riot Stomp less and less (except on you because I hate you) but I still got alot of work to do. I need live bodies. This weekend's GG tournament should give me some much needed practice and wake the fuck upping.

(There is one this weekend right? Someone posted somewhere earlier there was somethin' this weekend.)

@Tournament - Really want to. I definitely need to play Gear offline. Netplay trolled the fuck outta me and Star when our match started with a flawless connection, then spiked to something like a 1 bar, then stabilized at 2.

Nah, that was a different converter. The Cronus works fantastically for Xbox 360 to PS3.

Ah, that's what it was. I knew it was something, I just couldn't remember what.

Maybe, but the good news is that FD dashing is entirely unimportant. FD braking however....

I thought it was necessary for Johnny's throw mix-up? Still, glad to hear that. Braking, I can do.

Yes KT can mod pads. They do more... Cosmetic modifications, though. They don't yet offer a dual-console modification service.

Awww.

Also: I didn't realize how much I missed playing KoF. Wish I'd never had to sell it. The 2363214 motions are ridiculous on a d-pad, though.

FD dash is important to Johnny. He can't do tick-throw mixups after most blocked hits/coins midscreen if he doesn't double step.

I was about to resign myself to learning a stick (something I've been meaning to do anyway), but I found out I was bitching for nothing. Once I paid attention to how I was braking, I found out how to dash on my own. The Johnny forum was telling me to mash 4646 after braking, and that just wasn't workin' for me. I dunno if mine's fast enough to be considered a legit FD dash, but it's definitely better than dashing normally.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys is hilarious. If you enjoy that kind of humor I definitely recommend it.

If you're still planning on coming tonight dude, I'll be there with maybe Phil and Chris.

Happy birthday Star! =D

I will definitely be there. Mellis should be, too.

If you can get Chris and Phil to show up, too, that's even better!
