So, I'ma try to hold casuals at my new place this Sat in Manchester (a couple minutes from Battlegrounds location). If anyone's interested, send me a pm for address and such.

I'm going to tentatively say I'm game, with the caveat that I've got some maintenance shit scheduled for my apartment on Friday and if that gets messy/delayed I might need to cancel.

Also, Tales was talking about being available any Saturday except this coming Saturday for casuals, but obviously your call on when things happen.

Tanks.

Airplanes, too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E8xnaWm2Cg :roboky:

If cheese wants to go, then I request a ride.

Can do, with the same caveat as above. :sweatdrop:

I'm going to my friend's birthday this weekend so I won't make it (Jebus)

I have to help run the prerelease for the new Magic set this Saturday, so I can't make it. It's the only saturday I'm working for a couple months, though, so I'll be there next time. >:P

Edit: Talked to my boss. Cheese, if you are willing to pick me up from X9 at 4, I can go. :P

As long as Katz doesn't mind getting there a bit later I'm game.

Katz - do you mind?

... and should I still show up at normal time for pre-casuals, like last time?

It'll give me a reason to attempt to get smashed before casuals again. I don't mind waiting, I guess. Pre-casuals casuals should be fun. :roboky:

I'll try to make the next one, Why.

Been trying to learn WanWan and E's Laf btw, you guys. More the latter than the former, but soon. SOON.

That said, what feels like standard BnB damage to you guys in E's Laf? There's very little information out there on this game so I'm messing around and trying to make my own stuff.

Like 4K for Cecil, but that's apparently changed since I last played the game and it's lower now, so I have no idea. I'd say probably 3-3.5k is worth shooting for.

I'm not used to actually combosmithing my own stuff, so optimization and such is out of the question, and I'm only scratching the surface of what it means to really explore combo theory/routes/options/whatever people like to call it. Having a ballpark figure to aim for is great, thanks.

I'm sure this is pretty meh for the meter, but a 1 bar Alcott combo: 5A > 5B > 5C > 5DF (CH) > 6D > 5A > 6A > jc > jA > jC > jD was around 3k for one meter, 3.7k if you opt for jA > jB ('meaty') instead, though you blow them fullscreen away and effectively return to neutral, even in the corner.

Shoutout to hurricanes.

Shoutout to bomb walls.

Mindgame, you should totally post the recordings somewhere and send them to me.

So, fun fact: literally like a minute after I pulled out of your driveway the rain let up a lot. So if we had gotten to your place a bit slower you wouldn't have had to suffer the torrential downpour. :v:

Also shoutouts to getting to play +R. And to LPT showing up and playing Melty.

I'd rather suffer rain than suffer you :v:

Who the fuck added that shit at the start of the thread? I spent like 4 minutes looking for "Bears".

Oh and I mean it for real this time: I might be moving within a few months when my dental stuff is finished in Boston. Too early for goodbyes, but it's a lot closer than I'd like.

Edit: "Might" is if the person who's rooming with me can't find work here.

Fabulous, I should be able to make it this time around

Casuals on Sat in Manchester. Hope to see you there, Katz.

I will be there if I can pull myself from Disgaea D2 for long enough :v:.

I'd like to go if I could get a ride, Cheese.

Likewise.

Can do.

EDIT:

Tales your PM inbox is full. To answer your questions - I have your address, and I'll probably be at your place sometime in the 2:30-3pm range. Do you have a phone number I should call when I get there (PM it if so)?

It was nice seeing all you guys again! I fully expect you to have moved again by the time I get to mash against you again, Why. Also, thanks for hosting and thanks to your Mom for being a kind hostess as always.

Shoutouts to Why learning all the Persona 4 memes in one fell swoop

Shoutouts to MONKEY NANDAYO

Shoutouts to learning-and-not-really-learning matchup experience in Guilty Gear

Shoutouts to Fraga's laptop being wishy-washy on E's Laf and WanWan's framerate

Shoutouts to Deathbringer being the Worst Dad Everâ„¢

I had a good time, really glad I came (and really glad Why's address is so much closer than it has been for me right now). I've got some more wiki stuff to write out, discovered a 'new' Alcott BnB just by mucking around and maybe have an idea of how some matchups in E's Laf are supposed to work, on top of miscellaneous WanWan, Guilty, and Battle Fantasia knowledge.

Katz, Cheese, though I wasn't able to properly put my opinion into words for the longest time, thanks for putting up with my insistence that I dislike 1/0-frame throws and the effect they have on a Fighter's Metagame. I had thought about the specifics and why I like/dislike certain designs for throws, but nobody had challenged my opinions for so long that I had trouble verbalizing my reasoning.

I'm pretty sure my Skype is listed here on the side on DL, so if people want to nerd out on JRPG talk and don't mind hearing me rant from time to time, feel free to add me and hit me up! I've toned down my modern JRPG itch for a few years though, so most of my experience is PS1/PS2 era. The most recent stuff on that front from me has been Mother 3, Ib, and Ni no Kuni.

Lets do some shoutouts, ah-ha!

Shoutout to Mike for hosting and helping me and Kyle sing Escape from the City on the ride back to your house

Shoutout to Kyle for Jojos shenanigans and Weiss Schwarz playing, I added a few more Level 0s to help the early game

Shoutout to Tales for even sillier Jojos matches and brohugs

Shoutout to Outlaw for all the fun talk at Denny's and seeing you again, just added ya on Skype

Shoutout to Cheese for SHIN KOIHIME MUSOU FIGHTAN feels good to play it again. Also character backgrounds, I NEED THEM

Shoutout to Katz for DESUBRINGAH and good talks

and lastly Shoutout to my phone dying the death during casuals, good shit phone. At least it's charged now

Posted (edited)

Obligatory shoutout post.

Tales. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mike, thanks for letting me into your home and stuff. Sorry for making Kenshiro kick you in the face. I should have known that his Hokuto: Hien Ken would have hit you for massive damage.

Fraga, stay free. It was fun playing you in JoJo's and Wei3.

Katz, thanks for informing us of Endless Frontier. Good to see you as always.

Cheese, gawrsh I didn't realize you were so into Splinter Cell games :P I thought you only played Melty and Sol Badguy.

Outlaw!! So glad you stopped by! I enjoyed our informative JRPG discussion (even though I'm pretty sure mike was about to kill himself). Come back any time!

Also.

"Tsugi ni omae wa 'WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY' toiu!" "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! GUHHH!?"
