tolore

pft some of us washington guys drove 15 hours to calgary and killed a moose that was in our way to play GG!

How many people are going to digipen tonight and how many people are just gonna chill at aki con?

how much is aki con if you don't pre reg for saturday only, i totally forgot .

sorry I missed brendans yesterday, I wasn't feeling too good, I'm probably gonna miss tonight as well.

I will show up to monthly guilty gear tourneys and participate in BB(I will not show up to monthly BB tourneys).

yeah, I was contacted late last night with it's location, should have it back later today, i'll give you a call when I grab it.

even 2A 2C doesn't work from all ranged on 2A hit, though it's much better than 6B and 5D.

Most definitely, I think one of arakune's biggest weaknesses is that he has no good normals for the mid range ground game, 5B and 2A are alright but he gets nothing off those without being REALLY close to them, if I can poke in mid range and beat stuff out with 6B, get across the screen knockdown and some curse that could be a HUGE buff to precurse game.

The problem is we all(most?) already hated pre curse arakune(IMO he's boring, has very little options and is frustrating), and he's basically only getting nerfs. Though admittedly I'm not all that pessimistic about it, I think the changes to air super could be awesome enough, and the 6B being it's own move could also be pretty amazing. edit: arakune already had no mixups pre curse, 6A nerf just means instead of being blocked always people may just jab you out of it. edit again: I think the real questions on 6B are, how good is it as a poke, does it beat out a lot of stuff? Also what are it's counter hit property.

I should be showing this friday.

the guitar I played the whammy bar, i think , was right. So I could block if i was on 2p side or walk forward if I was on 1p side.

yep, baiken actually has good damage out, she get's 200ish damage off lots of stuff(though she has to spend meter for), it's just that brent was not getting hit by stuff that led to good damage or mainly bursting the stuff that lead to damage. So all I got was stuff that prorates a ton or needed lots of weak hits to get the pick up.

spark is just kidding he says it all the time!

I actually have played GG with the guitar.

It was an Alex sweep. I won gear and robo won BB.

if you really thought that you probably wouldn't have said thing like That last one is horrifyingly false, there are VERY few( I can actually only think of one off the top of my head) FRC that you should always do no matter what. Even the one you listed, exe beast, if you use it and trade with an opponent you basically get a free FRC for the cost of a small amount of damage, if you're fishing for the trade you should not frc. so here's a detailed look at how FRC's make the game what it is and how many characters become significantly worse/less interesting without them No cancellable fire balls which messed up venom, ky, zappa(ghosts), baiken, testament, Sol, I-no, eddie. No more fire ball FRC to bait jumps, no more fire ball FRC for safet, no more fireball FRC for pressure/reestablish pressure, no more gunflame FRC run up before fireball hits wild throw. No more FRC points on moves that have no hit at all, no more chip teleport FRC's or HOS active charge FRC's for combos/pressure/safety/mixup, baikens kick counter(the short invulnerable run) becomes basically worthless. No more cancelling moves before the hit comes out for mix up, baikens yozansen FRC, Jams crouching dust, pots 6HS(and 2HS too maybe?), axels jump over their shoulder move(that ones FRC actually is before AND after the first active frame). No more cancelling moves on whiff, No more baiting punishes with all the FRC's ever, no more safety on whiff for many moves. No more all the other awesome stuff you can do because FRC's are only 25% instead of 50% meter, this is the least important category, and the only one you seem to recognize at all. FRC's make the game what it is, anyone who doesn't understand that doesn't understand how the game works. You are free to the opinion of FRC's are too hard, you are free to the opinion that they should be removed, but to say that they aren't that important to the game or that they don't add depth is COMPLETELY wrong and shows a lack of understanding of how the game works. I'm actually of the opinion that one of the easiest ways to make BB a better game is too add FRC's, that by itself would increase the depth of BB a lot. edit: note that every single example and every single character I listed for how frc's are awesome is off the top of my head, I did no research and looked nothing up. There are probably other awesome uses/examples that I couldn't even think of.

Silhouette you clearly don't understand FRC's and why they are awesome, it's bneen explained TONS in THIS thread why they are not needless execution barriers, and in many people opinions one of the best mechanics in guilty gear.

I wanna give big shout outs to the new guys who showed up(or old guys who haven't played gear in a while), that was a really rough environment to be playing in and I hope you guys stick it out, if you manage to make it in the northwest you'll be a force to be reckoned with anywhere in the US. brent REALLY nice matches, it really came down to the wire! Your spacing was really good, the whole time everyone was making fun of baikens damage compared to sol's, but I'm just like 'it's not that baiken has bad damage, it's that he's not letting me hit him with anything that doesn't prorate, and bursting well when I get a good starter'. Watches always good to play and hang out with you, remember to add me on LoL(or give me your game again so I can add you). I don't play a whole ton, but when I do play it's usually for long periods of time. I'm tolore there as well. Hellsap, I thing we forgot to actually play each other in gear, but thanks a ton for hosting, and as always was awesome to hang out with you. Have fun with your crazy Japanese horrifying power puff girls. Joe for not knowing his way around his own area! Everyone else, keep supporting the scene, BB and GG need all the help they can get seeing the evo turnouts last year. Don't let the games die!

I already have stark, robo alex, and rebecca in my car, i CAN fit one more person but it'll be a tight fit(I have the seats/seat belts though). When I asked jason/the group who all was going and who all still needed a ride I was told rebecca still needs one and no one else was mentioned. Anyway I can fit you OR joe but not both. Call me when you guys wake up, 425-221-9035, I'll probably already be on the way.

Hey hellsap my number is 425-221-9035 just in case.

polka I needz your address. I'm waking up at 8 30 and leaving after I shower, Redmond be ready BEFORE 9 30 though I may show up as late as 9 30, then I'm heading straight to polka's. I moved the time frame up a little, I didn't realize the tourney was south of portland.

I plan on carpooling down to oregon tomorrow UNLESS I don't get my car back by then, I'll know tonight if I'll have my car back or if I can borrow my moms car. Who all wants to go? edit: I can comfortably fit 3 other than myself, my car has room for 4 other than myself, but you best not be bringing much stuff. I don't plan to stay the night, we'll drive down, then drive back up at like midnight or something(maybe a bit earlier). This is all subject to change if people want to.

I may actually not be showing or being late, I'm taking my car in for an oil change/fixing the speedometer.

I have an hdmi cable.

I'm probably going to that if we can drum up enough interest.
