Yeah I'm guessing there will be a few questions that will be addressed to everyone (that wants to participate of course). Also you guys should check out this video and some of the other videos on the guy's channel. it's pretty cool : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ4IWGNq6t8 There's also some resets and other match practical stuff in there.

Wow those videos were pretty cool, and holy shit that channel has some stuff, thanks for sharing

Kaeru a probablement encore son vieux SE a vendre pas cher du tout. Si tu veux je pourrais te passer mon stick de tekken. Le bouton pour triangle/B est un peu brisé, mais le reste est correct. (pour un stick a <50$) Shoutouts to randomly meeting nini on the street for the first time even though he lives 3-4 minutes away from my work.

This may sound strange, but as much as what you said makes perfect sense, blade, I disagree with you. I used to play wow, I could play with as much people as I wanted to, I played with friends, made new friends, invited everyone over at my place for lan parties regularly. It was fun for a long time, but the game was just too braindead and "required" too much time investment to stay "competitive", just for the wrong reasons. (lol addiction) As long as I'm not alone playing my super awesome game, I don't see why I would play some other game that I don't enjoy. Disclaimer : I am not comparing wow to mvc3. I still almost play MvC3 and enjoy it (gotta keep that yo I don't even play this game OS alive). The more I play, the more I learn to deal with the BS (and salt) it generates and use my own charaters' BS better. but yoooo you just can't block some of dante or wolverine's mixup on reaction, so it forces you to read your opponent a bit more than just using reflexes, which is a useful skill to level up for other FGs, I guess?

Mu isn't that hard to learn to play roughly, she's just very hard to learn to use everything to it's maximum potential. Combos relevant to steins are hard to take advantage of. Let's say you place a few steins. Go in for pressure, opponent blocks, you go for a mixup. You catch them standing with a 2B, and then cancel into 5C 6C because you know that a stein will allow you to 5C-6C on a standing opponent. Remembering which steins are where and in what order when you send out a command laser is another thing to keep in mind, you want to know where that thing is going so you can take advantage of it. (for a sweet tick throw, safe overhead-overhead, ambiguous crossup, etc.) You also kind of want to know the timings of your steins so you don't fuck up your combo. You want to know how close you are to the wall, so after your j.2C in combo, you can go 2B 5C SoD and get a wallbound for a rep of the corner combo instead of going into 2C 6C habacan and dropping the combo because you were too close to the wall. Or when you combo 6C into a stein explosion at some point, you kinda should know if you can extend it into j.C j.2C dash 2B 5C 6C or if you should just to another 6C because the proration is too high. And that's just for combos. The way I think many of us see Mu's moves, is that she has good tools for many different situations, but each tool doesn't cover many other situations and you have to know when to use the right one. Once you place a stein, it's good to know when the laser will come out to cover your approach at neutral, when you place more than one it's way too easy to lose track of it. You kinda should know when it's a good time to place a stein, what you should cancel it into, often depending on your opponent's reaction. You should also know her options for cancelling normals and use them. For example, cancelling 5C into 236A is ridiculously effective for pushing towards the corner and restarting pressure when your opponent isn't expecting it. Her DP doesn't have a lot of range, so kind of have to know when to place it, because it's really easy for your opponents to make you whiff so you can't RC it to be safe. But I think the hardest thing of all, for me, is to avoid losing focus on the game itself because you're thinking about everything I posted above. Suddenly that noel just ran up to you and 6A'd you out of your j.236A and you just lost the match. But hey, I could be wrong, and I'm still an average player who can't deal with tournament nerves yet, so maybe someone else has a better way of explaining it. TLDR: too many possibilites makes you lose track of the essentials.

... kr3wman... anyways I made a thread for our weekly tournaments : http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?12215-Montreal-Weekly-Tournaments-at-Foonzo&p=1097506#post1097506

When : every Thursday, tournament starts at 8 PM. Sign ups at 7:45. Call me if you're going to be late and want me to sign you up, my cell's number is in the first post of our matchfinder thread. Where : Foonzo : 1245 rue Drummond, Montreal (http://foonzo.com/) How much : no entry fee. Prize is food, usually a brownie for the winners, bought by me. The venue fee at foonzo is simply to buy food from them, please do so. Games : So far only BBCS2, but we're hoping to add MvC3 and GGXXAC eventually, once we're able to run these fast and efficiently, if we have enough people for them. ____ Blazblue CS2 rules Unless there are no PS3 pad warriors present, the tournament will be on PS3. If you're going to complain about controllers, please bring your own. Option-selects don't help you improve. (or I guess you could say, we're soft-banning the xbox?) Format : Random teams 2v2 waseda style (meaning you sign up individually and get randomly paired with someone else, if we're an odd number, someone is going to be alone, with no advantage whatsoever. deal with it) Bracket will either be single elimination, double elimination, or round robin, depending on attendance and other factors, but will be decided right before we start the tournament. Matches are best of 1 games, 2/3 rounds. If anything unexpected like a pause happens, the crowd decides the outcome. Unlimited characters are banned, training stage is soft-banned. Characters are locked for the tournament, but duplicates are allowed. Team order is also locked and predecided, tell me at the same time as your team's name and characters. (you can't switch characters from the one you picked for the tournament, but you're allowed to chose the same character as your partner. And you can switch from week to week, lol) If you have any questions, ask them in this thread, the montreal matchfinder thread, or send me a PM. If you have any shoutouts, GGs, or shittalking to do (related to these tournaments), you can use this thread for that purpose. _____ Results/Videos : 4/8/2011 : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9ECADEF7734B48F9

To have fun? Not hard at all. Her combos are easy compared to some other characters, and she has a good variety of tools to play around with. To play the character to it's maximum potential and win major tournaments consistently? Too hard for anyone, maybe.

All FGs are horrible and definitely not fun because you always have to abuse some form of BS if you want to win. That is, until you learn to

Oh shit brice actually showed up after I left at 9 (I had some things I had to do). Meetup was fun and lulz, somehow I'm slightly less free in marvel, and had a blast in GG (even though I only managed to get the dolphin loop going once )

I'm bringing an Evo monitor and ps3, and very likely a PS2 and CRT (if it fits in the car), for hotel casuals, so we could use them for the tournament. And also, the MTL crew is probaby going to end up being me, brice, nini heart, level5-chan, and steb.

good shit ^_^ I lol'd

don't forget

Tournament will start at 8, but people usually start showing up a lot earlier for the meetup itself.

I don't think north america should block lows in tekken. Leaving for foonzo soon, should be there in <1h.

A friend doesn't have a credit card or paypal acc, is it cool if I pre-register him with my paypal acc? Just wanted to ask because he's signing up for MvC3 and I'm not, so I wouldn't want my name to end up on the list instead of his. btw, I just pre-registered (for myself).

I guess I can, but I'll ask in the tournament's thread anyways beforehand just to make sure. You're signing up for MvC3 but not AE right? (you pay those online with the venue fee, the rest is at the event) lol hype for tonight.

Yo kirbster I forgot to tell you but watching you guys play tekken last friday made the game look super fun to play, I want to give it another shot... if I don't have anyone to dolphin loop edit : just registered for summer jam, you guys should too. http://www.necphilly.com/ (btw brice reserved the hotel) And I managed to take "off" on Friday, so we'll leave early enough to get some casuals on friday night hopefully.

lol brice so salty and impatient. I'll probably go to foonzo today then, I'll be there around 6 I guess. this was pretty lulz : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwFncn27Go#t=2m brice : are you going for it nini : i dont know the input brice : its 236236D nini does 214214D

Schedule for otakuthon is out, BB tournament is at 11 AM on saturday : http://www.otakuthon.com/2011res/pdf/OT2011-Horaire-Schedule_tentative-R.pdf Lots of time for casuals and freeplay, they're open later than last year. Maybe we'll be able to recruit some people. But daamn no guilty gear tournament? Rock band instead?

Rarely, but some people play it.

mochiduki vs areku (jin) mochiduki vs PRFARMY (hakumen) mochiduki vs guruguru tsukai (Tager) sabamiso vs no^ka^do (tsubaki)

Sup, so we meet at foonzo, our gang mostly plays BB/GG/MvC3 (occasionally AH3, MBAA, akatsuki blitzkampf, and other sadlife games), but we organize gatherings because foonzo is mostly an AE place. Some people also play MK9 every now and then (kr3wman is a top player in that game).

Parfait! ammenne la, parmi ceux qui ammennent leurs consoles d'habitude (nini, kirbster) jcrois pas que yon le DLC mais mesemble que kr3wman y l'a. J'espere que le monde vont faire plus attention -_- Anyone going to foonzo tomorrow (tuesday)? I'll go if others are going, if not I'll just keep having fun grinding dolphin loops in training mode
