This guy would like to have a word with you... More seriously though, you could come to Montreal for Thursday the 21st and leave Saturday the 23rd, so you could attend both. "Au pire" we'll miss you and when you come to MAT8 we'll tease you about it and that'll be that. But hey, do what your fighting game experience tells you, consider the risk/reward Well, I guess it's an incentive to get it working sooner so it's not necessarily a bad thing that it doesn't work on your PC. I need your thoughts on this though, I'm thinking about going ahead with the PS2 mod on my stick before getting the dual 360/PS3. Is this a good idea? Pad hurts my fingers

Nini missed you and your trolling. Shoutouts to Ntype for deciding to show up, I hope to see you more often (ammène Nico aussi si y veux venir) Shoutouts to Level5 for bringing your S-video cable and playing some arcana heart. Thanks to those who had the patience of playing me in GG even though I'm so bad at that game. I'll get good soon, watch out. @Kaeru : GGXXAC for PC here : http://sites.google.com/site/ggxxaconline/setup Also, I will sig that tsubamegaeshi. @3S : So apparently 3S online is not getting any rebalancing which is cool. At first I thought "well shit, there's going to be very limited variety in this one." but then I saw this video and I was inspired... Oh hey and, go hype up the MAT 8 thread if you can

hq is open.

blade are you coming today with your friends finally? And uh. I don't really know that much about concordia, but I do know that polytechnique you can get a beer for 1.75 or a pitcher for 6$ at the uni's pub. At initiations we had free beer starting at 9 AM. I'm don't drink THAT much so I don't know everything about it, but there's probably a lot more than that going on. Engineering and alcohol go together apparently.

Okay we will likely open slightly later than expected. Something unexpected came up on Brice's end, so hopefully we won't be too late. Nini, Rhannmah, check your PMs. If anyone wants me to text them at what time we'll open, let me know. If not, assume 6 PM at the latest, but we're hoping to be there closer to 4 or 5. @Eb : yo I'm a lazy ass man, I posted that when I woke up. However, I do like organizing stuff

Ugh I hate doing combos online. My muscle memory tells me "okay now you have to press C" but my eyes are still telling me "wait for it... wait for it...". As long as you can do them in training mode, eventually they'll land in offline matches, but you probably know that. Hima plays valk and is a beast if I'm not mistaken, check his CS2 stuff out. Lol madoka, yeah I just watched ep 5 I think. I assumed that it was a spoiler where those 2 lolis had actually teamed up and it was all going according to plan (à la death note). Look forward to trading blows with you again, I'm not sure I'll go online tonight, though. I leave my stick at the HQ and everyone uses it so it should be already warmed up when we'll need to face off, I hope you don't mind.

Yeah, I'll clarify that.

Not exactly evo, but if people want to attend a major that's a lot closer and cheaper, we've got MAT8 in June (this is not the Easter event that has been previously mentionned). And well if some people are up for attending Evo competitively in SSF4 or MVC3, you can earn ranking points/seed points if you do well in those games. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11303-MAT-VIII-part-of-Evo-Tournament-Season-June-4th-amp-5th-Montreal-Canada&p=980653 Hope we'll eventually get some city rivalry going, so come down to Montreal. Meanwhile, just get hype!

Triple post because. Thread is made and it's over here : http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11303-MAT-VIII-part-of-Evo-Tournament-Season-June-4th-amp-5th-Montreal-Canada&p=980653#post980653 Please go post your hype when you can. Does anyone know how it works for getting a sticky, or if it's just worthy of a sticky? It IS a major, but we are a relatively young and not yet renown community.

Id like to take a minute to welcome E-Sports Championship ( ESC ) to the MAT VIII party GET HYPE ! ESC has worked with MAT last year and we are proud to welcome them again to be part of the largest Canadian East Coast tournament! A word directly from ESC: ESC Team is excited and proud to announce that we are putting our hands and efforts with MTLSF to stream MATVIII. We will be collaborating our efforts with the organizers and sponsors to bring you our first EVO qualifier in Canada. We would like to welcome all our Canadian players and our international guests in this historical moment. Please follow us on twitter(@eschamp) or our website e-Sports Championship | and stay tuned for more announcements and surprises as we get closer to the event. RULES Games & Rules --- We're very probably going to have GGAC as a side tournament and maybe even AH3 depending on numbers, but we'll discuss this and update when we'll know. Gotta disband that team NAH. Casuals for sure though, as well as any other game people want to play, if someone can bring the game/console. Will post when there are updates. If you have any questions, post here, in the Montreal match finder thread, or just ask me or BladeOfJustice7. Most of the organization was done by the MTLSF community, and we thank them for allowing us to participate in this event. So, stuff that is relevant to animu games, we take care of, for the rest, we need to talk about it with them first. Rules for BBCS are tentatively the same as always, no unlimited characters allowed, platinum banned, soft ban on training stage, but the rest is still to be discussed. Most likely going to be double elimination 2/3s and Winners/Losers/Grand finals will be 3/5. Still lots TBA, but anyways, GET HYPE!

Double post because. I'll go make the thread in the event announcement section in about an hour unless someone has something to say (@Eb, I feel like making this one. I'll go to the HQ and talk to Cranky about stuff when I go on Tuesdays, I just "feel" this one) . I'll add this at the bottom as well : "We're very probably going to have GGAC as a site tournament and maybe even AH3 depending on numbers. Gotta disband that team NAH.

Real men get up past 1 PM. Superheroes get up at 5 am I'll give you my impressions on your valk, I don't play him or play against him a lot, but I think these are just general things that apply to any character. 1) your spacing is slightly off, you do many attacks from too far (but Mu's hitbox becomes so big when she does attacks, to explain some random hits you got that were too far to pick up) 2) your jump ins are kinda predictable. I try to react but lag screwed up my timings which led to counterhits that were supposed to be the other way around. 3) your mixup isn't a mixup. Use more lows/command grabs. Too much night yager, that jin that was used to playing online IB-punished every time. 4) I felt like you were afraid of getting in or taking risks, or maybe you just don't know when to get in. Here's the data : they made steins fire faster in CS2 and made the command laser faster too, but if you look at frame data, CS2 steins have 107F until they fire but can be jump cancelled on frame 21, command laser comes out on frame 46, but here's where it becomes interesting. Ground command laser has 63 F recovery, but air command laser has 5 F recovery after I hit the ground. If you're close enough, super through it or something. Oh yeah, I'll say it again, that's the data for CS2, it's all slower now. more here : http://dustloop.com/guides/bbcs2/frameData/mu.html So yeah, when I blow them up and whiff I'm like ooh shit, but you don't do anything about it. I can't tell if it's a good or bad matchup, but I think Mu can easily keep valk out, he really has to work/guess his way in, make Mu afraid of using some tools. However once you land a hit, if you don't drop and make a successful reset/mixup, GG. It's kind of like vs Makoto, but you don't have 3C or 214X barrier so harder to get in, but you do have that command grab. About your haku, we gotta play more. I'm going to blame lag for mistakes in spacing and reactions (I try to make an effort to guess as little as possible), but it's a rather interesting matcup with quite some depth and is always fun/frustrating to play. The fact that you can come up with such a conclusion after only 1 or 2 games, with lag, concludes that you are purely talking shit and I will have to rectify this situation next time you come to a meetup. You there Sunday? Also, do you watch madoka? I'm a few episodes behind and if what you just showed me with that GIF was the spoiler I think I see, I'm going to make you pay @Calm101 : let me know when you can play AH3 online. Oh, but I might lend my copy to someone next week btw. And yo, you guys don't know brice well enough if you're saying stuff like that.

I let freezerburn know. I'll confirm about bringing the TV Sunday later today. I say BBCS1 is still a fun and competitive game over here in Montreal. People don't abuse the top tiers, everyone has a chance. I actually don't think anyone over here plays a character for it's tier. And lol GGs kr3wman at tekken this evening, even though you never played the game before. That game is fun too... wait a sec now that I think about it. I went to Foonzo today. All I played was tekken 6. Seriously.

(still CS1 stuff ) So I don't remember ever seeing this or hearing about it, sorry if it's already known but doesn't look like it... you know when you have a lot of heat, your opponent is in the corner, and you're sure he'll be barely alive after the omohikane? Basically, you replace a rep of the corner loop by 2B> 5C> 6C> 6D> 632146D> 6B. You have to jump back when you jump cancel the 6A so that 6C will connect, and it's really situational, but it's a situation that tends to happen every now and then. I don't know if there's a way for this to work CS2, haven't seen it yet, but maybe it's just because it was never worth it or the player didn't know about it. examples : 3C> 2B> 6A> jump back> j.C> j.2C> 2B> 5C> 6C> 6D> 632146D> 6B> 6A> 2C> j.C> j.2C> 2B> 5B> 632146C (requires corner and 61 heat, 6232) grab> 6A> 2C> jump back> j.C> j.2C> 2B> 5C> 6C> 6D> 632146D> 6B> 632146C (corner 72 heat, 5109) Another use of too much meter is when you land FC no charge SoD midscreen and rapid immediately (ex: after a 3C on a conditioned opponent or when making a gap to punish mashing or just so you don't get punished because that shit is so unsafe point blank). Anyways, rapid and mash 5C it stops the opponent from being knocked fullscreen and you can combo. (fatal) SoD (any level)> RC> 5C> 6C> 6D> 632146D> dash 6B> dash 6A> j.2C> dash 2B> (assuming in corner now) 6A> j.C> j.2C> 2B> 6A> j.C> j.2C (midscreen 95 heat, 5.5k for level 1 SoD, 6.2k for max charge) Also, slightly retarded, but I made a combo that 1-shots carl. Requires 4 steins, corner, point blank fatal fully charged sod, ideal placement so all lasers hit (opponent about 2 character widths away from the corner), 100 meter and it eventually blue beats, but it's still 9.5k. Oh it doesn't imply danger mode though, that's the thing, it exists (is there another one like this?). If you switch the end for something "legit" it becomes 9k-ish, so it's still huge, but not a 1-shot. SoD fully charged> 632146D> (all lasers hit, 5.6k here) 6B> 6A> j.C> j.2C> 2B> 6A> j.C> j.2C> 2B> 6A> j.B> j.C> jc> dj.C> dj.2C> rapid> air grab. 9519 question time : combos that start with a gold burst. I'm sure the midscreen one I use isn't the best (burst> 6B> dash 6A> j.2C> dash 2B> 5C> 6C> XD> SoD or Oki, does about 2k). Is there this awesome one I don't know about? Should be really similar (for midscreen) in CS2, right?

Great! It's always a good idea to bring your own stick/controller. We use both PS3s and 360s, and have converters from one to the other (well the only way to 360 to PS3 is with a wired controller but we have access to one now thanks to Nini Heart). We should have enough consoles and TVs, we're hoping team NAH doesn't strike back. @Nini : okay I'll see about it for Sunday, will you be home between 1 and 2 PM? However, do you have a VGA cable for your 360, plugging it into a computer screen is probably easier. Also, lol marvel, why are you attacking level 3 XF sentinel, didn't you see the video on how to deal with him? Using snapbacks instead of supers so you don't have to face off against a full hp level 3 sent or just getting used to punishing his assist might be a good idea. When playing against him, I was always very afraid of calling in the sentinel assist. But yeah, it's still a fun game

Yeah the problem with the head to heads is that they're 360s (or PS2, yes there's a PS2 that they use for Third Strike if I'm not mistaken), so no AH3 on the head to heads I hope they fixed the joysticks though, because out of the two stations with the BB dlc, one didn't have a stick last time. I'll be there around 5:30 or 6 PM.

lol jcroyais avoir compris que tu serais pas capable de jouer chez toi, sinon jte laurais preté. ok bein jte le preterai dimanche I guess. a part si on fait dequoi en fds... jai pas encore de plans.

Yeah attendance has been good recently. Yesterday we were 10 guys for animu games (me, brice, nini heart, fred, kirbster, vice-taicho, steb, airmaster, ken, monster king) and a few more for marvel. We had a lot of setups too so no excessive waiting. By the way, I can't remember, do you play stick or pad? Because that's always a problem for Foonzo. Their 360 setups are stick only, and if we somehow get a PS3, they don't have any sticks there. I'm okay with either, although I've been exclusively stick recently, I'd just need to try out my combos once in training mode so my mind doesn't freeze when I manage to confirm into a combo.

My guess is we won't need 2 consoles, if it's like last week there's probably only one TV and maybe another where we'd be able to plug in the PS3, and we won't be many playing them animu games. Lol would probably take me 3-4 hours to go home get mine and come back so... By the way, we usually meetup on Thursdays and Sundays at the HQ and we bring our PS3s, you should come

woah haven't played you in a while, we gotta play AH3. It's just that, there aren't any PS3s at foonzo, and I actually took mine out of my bag this morning can anyone bring theirs? But eh still not 100% sure I'll go this evening, depends on how things go this afternoon, but it's still more probable that I show up. @Nini : cranky wasn't there yesterday, do you mean smokey? Just so you don't accidently call wrong :P

GGs today, looks like hype for BB was slightly down today, good thing GG and AH3 are awesome. Thanks to Airmaster for bringing his PSP so we could try out that sugoi loli, just having potential access to CS2 makes playing CS1 feel very meh. [/impatient] Also, thanks to Steb and Air for bringing their ps2 sticks. Please do this more often Marvel is fun but get blown up by Smokey. Damn I keep changing teams, gotta find one and stick with it. Storm/Sentinel/Tron works so far, but not used to having storm on point so neutral and mixup are weak Anyways, I'm up for lending my AH3 between two meetups if someone wants to try it out or learn combos and stuff. Just let me know.

Worst case scenario I should have change on me. Best case scenario, team up with others who come. Most probable scenario, a combination of the two previously mentioned scenarios. @BladeOfJustice7 : twitter. first. post. oh and put the youtube as well

C'est ça : http://twitter.com/MTLBBLOL , tu pourrais juste le follower :P @Eb : mind adding the twitter to the first post?

Not gonna drop Mu either, the only thing really I hate about her is that she has to be unlocked, so when people don't, I then play a sub and get blown up.

Lol I'd chip in if you play arcana heart with me I dunno about that particular one, but usually non-official controllers that don't have a reputation or something like that are ass and break fast (shit I didn't eat today yet). Maybe in SRK's tech forum they'll talk about it... I think I can still body you at SSF4 and I don't even play that game (for real). edit : oh shit this is the venue for mat8. I can't guess what it is though, probably somewhere in the Palais des Congres, but that particular room doesn't ring a bell... might be completely different though.
