Ottawa: Why have fundamentals when you have gimmicks?

[Ctrlaltwtf]

Next on my list of things to do is to get some smattering of FRKZ BnB down pat followed by challenging our campus BB players.

6C -> j.4C -> 6 -> j.4C -> 6 -> j.4C repeat as necessary.

The funny thing is I'm not even kidding.

I totes have the video bookmarked of it. It's lulz.

Edit: So what IS the deal with FRKZ in CP? Is it's duration not fixed anymore? I'm confused by what I'm seeing. :S

So. A few problems with Tuesdays. Schedule suddenly changed to put a 5 to 9pm class in Tuesday afternoons. Luckily it's one I'll be exempt for soon, since I took an identical class at another college. Until then, I kind of have to go to it.

That means late Tuesday gathering tomorrow and shift of the Gonq meets to Mondays at 6pm until I can get my paperwork finalized.

[Rigel Cyrosea]

So gathering is on for tomorrow, but not till 9:00?

[Judgment_Flame]

I have a class ending around 9 today, so any time after that I'll be there.

Coolbeans. I brought 360 BB and GG

I didn't bring extra controllers though. D:

[LiveWireX]

Was thinking of checking it out, but I have to bow out since the person bunking with me needs my car for the night.

[Krackatoa]

Yessss. Finally managed the entire cross-loop Bang Fuurinkazan BnB.

j.4C all day err day

Time to learn how to convert from airdashed jabs and I can be the new Dora. 8D

[ImperialSport]

Anyone know where I can get a HITBOX for a good deal?

Awww crap...well, time to get that 6 or 7k or whatever it was meterless Noel corner combo down, lol.

[Krackatoa]

I know that there's guys who sell Hitbox-style plexi for TEs. That's your best bet.

www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/

Custom orders and stuff works too. This guy used to sell Hitbox style layouts specifically, don't know what happened.

I'm not quite good to go for a session yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I'm game.

[Rigel Cyrosea]

Looking forward to it. :D

[Krackatoa]

Now if I can only land these sweet combos in a real match... -_-;

We talking impractical starters for your character or just execution troubles? And which game?

I just found out about BB and P4A's advanced-input buffer on held buttons. Godlike feature that. Now all of a sudden I can do Aigis combos. :bad:

Haha, yeah. But no. No Aigis combos for you, I says.

General execution troubles. A lot of it to do with me just having shitty timing when distracted, plus how proration might differ depending on when you OTG. :S

I won't know if it's a problem until I get a chance to play against peeps.

If you're having trouble landing combos in a match that you can do consistently in training mode, play arcade mode. People tend to disregard the value of arcade mode, because computers don't act like real players, but it can definitely be useful if you focus on the right things. Hit confirming, doing combos in a real match, spacing, converting off of weird situations like trades... Also, if you're not already familiar with the entire cast, it can help you learn what each of the characters can do.

What he said. In games like these with so much going on on the screen, it's hard at first to try to juggle hit-confirming and general execution on top of pacing, movement, reacting to your opponent's character, reading your opponent, timer/meter-management, and wacky ArkSys character-specific sub-systems. When we go into training mode, that whole second group is usually out of the way, but it can hit you like a ton of bricks as you jump back in. Best advice is getting as much drilled into memory and "feel" as possible to free up your mind for the stuff that you're actually worried about and lacking in. Feel that framedata, hurtbox gif, run speed, or whatever in live matches now (even if you've only got the computer to work with) and you'll have an easier time thinking about execution later. Fewer distractions.

plus how proration might differ depending on when you OTG. :S

With someone in Guilty Gear, or is that in BB and P4A too? Because, yeah, it's there in GG and it's more timing-imperative than it looks, unless your whole OTG is just about setting up a tech-chase (which can be a valid use of it).

Haha, yeah. But no. No Aigis combos for you, I says.

Now I have a hit-confirm string. Ho-ho-ho.

I'm doing Bang FRKZ BnB combos in Extend. End of the combo looks like j.D > Dash.3 > OTG 2B > [Dash.9 > j.4C > Dash.6 > j.4C > Dash.6 > j.4C > Land] x 3 or 4 depending on the combo. I'm wondering if I have to worry about when I hit the 2B, since I read that proration can alter based on when I hit the downed character (They might have a bouncing animation or something)

Also, Algonquin College meet is Monday! 6:10PM onwards. Student Commons, Room e206b above the Starbucks.

Bah, boo your hit-confirms, Essay. Them's the scrub thing to use, lol.

[Judgment_Flame]

Can't make it to algonquin tonight, monday evenings are busy for me.

[LiveWireX]

I also have to admit that I thought the DL/Not-Capcom meetups were either on Tuesdays or Thursdays though...huh...

[Krackatoa]

I had to reschedule it. As soon as I fix my schedule, we'll be back to Tuesdays.

Also, the Algonquin meetups are an "all title" meetup, but I have everything on hand, and will have ample consoles to go around sometime in the near future.
