Ky is really annoying in AC. FRC on StunEdge is not fun to fight against. FRC StunEdge is like the best of HDR Ryu's Fireball and Fake Fireball all in one. The FRC is really late, so Ky throws a fireball and if you don't IAD over it, then that's that. But if you do IAD over it, then he FRCs and antiairs you. Now your only recourse is to plow through with Jackhound or a Lv2 MF. I think the most significant part of the Johnny vs Ky matchup happens at the start of the round, before Ky gets 25% meter. Now, there's no way to stop Ky from getting 25%. You blockstring him, he gets 25%. You runaway from him, he gets 25%. You hit him, he gets 25%. So what do you do? You gotta footsies him. During this brief period before Ky gets 25%, your goal is to beef up on resources and positioning. Land your coins, get ahead in meter, and walk him to the corner. Maybe even drain the clock as much as you can. He's going to get 25%, but you want to be at your best when he does. What happens in this part of the fight can echo through out the entire match. For footsies, you're going to want to get real comfy poking with 6P. It'll cleanly beat out his f.S, H, and 6P. It ain't easy, but it will and that's what you got to work with. Beating out Ky's f.S is the real important bit. Johnny's 6P extends his hitbox forward, leaving you vulnerable to 2S's and 2D's. So you gotta stand back real far to use 6P. So far that the only convenient poke left for Ky is, guess what, f.S. Or a StunEdge. Lots of 6P's. Lots of dashing over 2S, 2D, and Stun Dipper. No jumping. Ky's 6P is pretty beastly in this game. Jumping means you gotta use meter to get back to the ground safely, maybe. Lot's of Instant Blocking. You can't lag behind Ky's meter. Yes, resources are very important in this matchup. You gotta have meter for Jackhounds against StunEdges. Or a Lv2. Mid MistFiner is the obvious one to use, but no combo or recoin unless you're near the corner. Low is ok too, if you get the right distance, you can trade hits into a combo. I think that's pretty much everything that needs mentioning. Oh yeah, Ky's 2P is 4f, so it's real easy for him to mash out of tick-throws. Remember the game gives 5f of throw invul to people coming out of blockstun. Johnny's throw range is bigger, so the best way to throw Ky is to setup the range so you're outside of his throw, but in yours. Are we still talking about Potemkin? Anyways, it depends on the matchup, and whether you have the life lead, and are comfortable in it, or whether you don't (but you're comfortable without it?) but, nah, don't think too hard about it. Just don't whiff f.S.

5K 2K, or 2S maaybe 2D, if they aren't jump

I pretty much need a months notice, so someone tell me when the next big thing is

isn't that what people said about the marvel series? anyways, I can't make it to NEC

So I hear KO --go play Super Turbo-- mited Match has got a patch that updates the netcode.

But it's soooooooo gaudy. Plus the execution moves or whatever got tiresome. If the score/combo system can't be gamed or cheesed in any way, then I'll try it.

Also, you have to not care about your normal game win:lose record. The objective is to either win fast or lose fast.

We're going to need to know what champs and runes we have, so we can figure out what trollololols we have access to.

Vs Potemkin, my opening move is to create distance. If I see an opportunity to throw a Coin on him or otherwise force chip damage (or any damage at all) I take it. After establishing the life lead, no matter how insignificant, the ball is now in Johnny's court and it's now on Potemkin to make up the difference. Assuming you've done your job of creating distance, that means Potemken has to move forward, which means he's not holding a back charge. You've already eliminated one of his moves. And then it's just a matter of managing your walk-backwards space. My favorite poke in this matchup is j.S. More specifically, jumping straight up is my favorite 'poke' and the j.S is just to cover my decent, should he not attempt to counter-'poke'. My favorite zone is the space at which a j.S whiffs, just barely, in front of Potemkin. My favortie anti-Airs are to jump up and slash, or tk Ensenga, or air throw, or dash beneath him. Also, jump instant block airthrow. And of course, 6P. Double-tap in case of clash. My favortie oki is to reposition myself. Anji, Millia, Robo-Ky, ABA are matchups that have pretty much not changed, so I can talk about them too. All the others have either changed too much and/or I've simply have not fought the matchup enough in AC to have enough confidence to comment on them. oh and also, if you open up with 2D, Potemkin can open up with 6H and the 2D whiffs. It's kinda funny. It puts you where you want to be, but you probably would of liked to start the round with that 90 health.

So the dude accepts his title as Red Shirt Guy? Good shit. Alright. I mean come on.

An FPS based on Noel would probably be fun. No hit-scan weapons allowed. Primary Fire for all guns is a melee attack. Grazing.

Yeah, I gotta see what Crescent Pale Mist is about. Manic shooter crossed with run n' gun n' slash? Any game on any platform that was released in the last 5 years. But I do remember there being a lot of games that were PSN exclusive that I've wanted to try. How have FPS games been since the first UT? Or is the pussyfication of the genre not yet complete?

This post is a return to form. It reminds me of my youth.

Shit fuck, my thread, what is this. Mori and Ishiwatari have both said something was going to happen or they were going to do something, but then nothing happened. They both may hold a lot of influence and power over their respective games, but clearly they aren't the ones who make all the decisions. December is the month to look out for, right? If no CS2 patch, then I'll just keep trucking with 2k2um and wait for AH3. If I can get NEC weekend off, then I'll try to go. I guess I'll hang out around AH3 and ST or something. I just ordered Vanquish. What other games have I missed in the last 5 some years that I should check out? I think there's a shit ton of PSN games I've missed out on. What was that one? Super Star Dust Memories or something? So who wants to be apart of my 4-man gimmick IP farming team in LoL?

oh how many times did Daisuke say he was going to announce the project he was working on, but then didn't?

is there a size limit to minecraft maps? maybe he can build a real computer in there.

so when does bbcs2 hit console? is xbl still having bad times?

One day he'll build a low-res monitor, then get a bunch of volunteers to act out a program, so that one man can play tetris.

Nobody/notenoughpeople/cametoolate showed up for GG or BB. So I guess no point in making a results thread. I spent the day playing ST with a bit of 2k2um.

I think about a third of the people in here will understand this. But I think everyone will be wondering, "why?"

You can now pre-order Sirlin's Yomi. I find that sentence to be hilarious. This is new fighting game lexicon right here. When you bait out a reversal or something you can say, "I pre-ordered that DP three months ago, nigga!" Is Xanadu going to keep some Yomi in stock?
