Jazzy

GGs deadliest anyone up for a game now?

Add me Jazzyluvquake I play Testa/Eddie/Sol/Slayer New player so could use the practice, I'm east coast and am up for long sets and don't mind losing 20 games in row. I particularly want games against Zappa and Ky cause i get my ass raped by them.

http://ggxx.wingdreams.net/faq.txt go there for help http://ggxx.wingdreams.net/ to get the game and (download ggxx) extract it somewhere extract netplay patch in same directory(on same page) go to config and setup your pad/stick run game, go to options set shortcuts to on and then go back to main intro screen and at the bottom will be vs net.

I am bored to all get out, anyone wanna play some #reload on PC?

so, i have a damaged cord on my madcatz tournament edition fightstick, what steps would i go for replacing the cord? ive googled, and i can't find any guides specifically for the tournament edition

I come from games that are almost exclusively played online. Ive won tournaments before(in battlefield 2142), so i know what its like to compete. And I'm competitive in most games i play. Quake is extremely affected by latency, but as long as your ping is within 20-60ms range its totally fine and high level play isn't affected. Starcraft is the same way. It's just odd for me for people to think that 40-60 ms of delay or about 2-4 frames of animation would matter so much. Maybe I just come from communities that accept latency as one of the things you have to deal with. So where do the majority of top players practice then? arcades, or with friends locally? because the communities i come from lans and tournaments are proving grounds for what you practice, not a place to learn.

yes, you will improve, but not that much, tournaments are proving what you have been practicing at home. Not the other way around. Its like some dude that has played blazblue and can only do some basic BnB will improve drastically on a weekend tournament, no he won't. There not enough play there to actually grasp and start utilizing the information. And frankly, i don't give a shit about tournaments, i play to improve, that's the only reason i play any game. Quake Live, Starcraft 2, etc. etc. I play them to improve, and you improve by consistently playing better players.

Im sorry, I attend college, have a full time job, and am in IT so basically "on call" if a server fucks up or someone cant do their job due to a technical issue. So yeah, 45+ hour weeks plus college classes. I get paid days off, and money isn't the issue, I make a good living. The issue, is why travel for a tournament when I'm gonna get my ass smashed in. I need practice, not some bullshit "truth" that i should play offline with people that are not readily in my area. More practice time= more improvement. A rare weekend tournament every couple of months cause i happened to take Friday or Monday off is not gonna improve my skill. More time practicing = more skill

not everyone has the time in my case, wish i could go to local scene, too bad the closest local scene isn't even in my state. Also, some people have you know, jobs, and bills to pay :P But i went to the online play forum, seems like a place for random stuff rather than looking for practice partners.

I just got into blazblue and i find it really hard to find practice partners, ranked games make it really hard for me to learn, and seem really inefficient with all the downtime. also, it can take forever if i open up my own room, i play someone way better, and they wreck me, but i want to keep playing so i can learn from them. Its just overall really hard for me to get practice. So i did a search for practice partners threads and i was surprised when i didn't see any. I find practicing against the same opponent(or character) is really really helpful, especially if they are better than you. I have no problem losing horribly over and over again, Ive played competitively in other games, so I know to get better you have to get your ass beat regularly, and you have to relearn things. So im Jazzyluvsquake on xbox live, send me a message, and ill be happy to practice with you, and any critique you could give my play, would be greatly appreciated. : ) If anyone else wants to put pleas for practice partners, that would be good too ID: Jazzyluvsquake character: Makoto location: east coast player
