Oiboi

Anyone down for a pre-danisen warmup get together in the next couple weeks? I'm looking to up my game and wanna get some practice in before the next danisen round. We could meet up at GameCenter I bet, or one of us could have it at our place-- I think I could hold a few people for a while, but my apartment complex is kinda picky once it gets to a certain time, so I'd have to kick you guys out before midnight or something lol. Either way though, I definitely wanna get some GG in soon. Also, one of you guys should teach me how to play blazblue.

Sorry for missing this guys, I really wanted to go but I had to take a moved up dr.s appointment for a sleep study. Couldn't really miss it so I had to go. I'll do my absolute best to make the next one and bring a setup if possible. Also, if anyone needs carpools, I'm willing to offer a ride. As for when the next one should be, one that's coming up within the next two weeks would be pretty dang cool. I'm also down for the boot camp idea, I love helping beginners get into GG so it'd be really cool to offer some advanced help to players that way.

I was meaning to go to the last one but I got sick. In the future I'll be going for KOF/BB, and GG if you guys'll have it, but this is probably just the case for myself and not other people.

Hell yeah, Danisen sounds super hype. We still doing it at gamecenter? It's a bit of a drive for me (from San Jose) but maybe we can carpool to save money on gas and stuff. I agree on a pre-season before GGXXAC+R comes out, and then starting fresh when it's released. So is this dogfight on the 9th a mini-dogfight/danisen round 1 or is it a full dogfight?

So Dogfight this weekend? Why's it always gotta be on the weekends that GW2 is doing their beta, lol. I might go, might not. We'll see.

My sentiments exactly. I'm not complaining but air DA and Edguy isn't going to change much. And I think the sword needs more than just that FRC in order to get him into a stable spot on the tier list. Making the swordslide viable would help a lot, and balancing the damage/comboability on the sword in general a bit would really make it fit in with his other summons. It feels like it's supposed to deal a lot of damage/combo often but it's output is sparse compared to most characters. The only saving grace is that the swords mixup is -okay-, not that great. I feel the ghosts and dog are perfect. Raou is just fine, he does his job fine. The sword was never really that good though, even back in XX. Like it was an afterthought, almost. But I guess we'll see where they go with the changes for it... The swordspin should now be a viable option, but I feel like making zappa's air game better is defeating the purpose lol.

I'll show up for casuals, at the very least. I can even provide a TV and a ps2 if someone would be kind enough to help me get it out of my car. I've got a crappy wrist so I doubt I'd be able to carry it from the parking garage. Don't have GG right now though, so someone else will have to bring that. Tell me if my setup is needed and I'll bring it.

Probably won't go unless there's a game I want to play. I've been trying to get into BB but it's nearly impossible with these shitty 360 pads I've got. I'll rock dogfight though. Unless you guys -really- need a turnout for this tourney, in which case I'll come and scrub up each tournament for the lulz.

Quote for truth. When is the next NCI? Will it have GG? What about the next Dogfight?

Quit complaining, Potemkin is already pretty strong in AC. If anything these changes give you more options. Also, even if they retain old versions of characters in the console version, you won't be able to use them in tournaments.

Holy shit, there are only 2 zappa changes they showed but their both huge. Zappa's Centipede overdrive gives 4 orbs, one per hit, now. And he gets aerial Darkness anthem as well. I'm really hype for this. Can't wait to see what other changes we have.

According to the NCI thread, the next NCI is May 12. There's gonna be GG there so I'll prolly show up.

Some more tips from this weekend. Naked: -You're at a serious disadvantage, here. Your best technique is to wait for I-no to commit to something like a dive or a stroke, then summon or block and throw. -I-No's mixup is long and tedious. Watch out when you start blocking and don't crouch too soon, as she can feint touching the ground with her j.D. Ghosts: -Probably the best summon vs I-No. Ghost tosses are great to make some space and lock her down. Don't neglect your Slash pokes, their very great--j.s will sometimes beat HCL if you space it right. -Once you get a ghost on her, keep her scared to move. Don't let her get the chance to pressure you because that's not a situation the ghosts can win. Sword: -Second best summon, mainly because of it's fast jabs and good anti-air. -Love your DP. Will beat almost all of her specials and will shutdown her rushdown, so long as you FRC it. Dog: -Really difficult to use properly because it's very hard to lock her down and position the dog. -Watch out for the notes, they'll shut you down and keep the dog from being able to attack. If you get stuck blocking the note with the dog on you, just be patient until she comes in for pressure before attacking. Watch out for mixups so you don't lose him. Raou: -Tricky to use because of how big the hitbox is on him. -Play it safe and stick to 6P/5K to land hits, and 2S or 5HS for ranged hits. Once you get a hit in, aim to kill her as fast as possible. I could use some tips for dog in the matchup. Positioning him is really tricky.

Hey guys, just went to a tournament for the first time in a long while. Here's the recorded stream: http://www.twitch.tv/norcaldogfight/b/316513571 If you want to see probably my best round that day, skip to 1:51. I land an instant kill on Honnou after dizzying him with the dog and 2HS.

It was great fun. Hope we get more people next time, but it was still really fun. Did you ever use that logo I made, btw? Just curious, didn't see it on the stream. I can make a new random one for the next dogfight if you guys like. GG's to everyone!

Me and Qwerty are bringing a GG setup complete with a bigass CRT.Getting it into my car is gonna be fun... lol.

I think it's awesome that we're doing charity events now, but unless they have GG I probably won't make the trip all the way to Sacramento. We'll see-- if I carpool with some people and we set up at least a casual GG station I'd probably be down for it.

Here's a logo I whipped up real quick. I was like, Dogfight, okay, dogs. If you guys don't like it I'll do something else, it only took me like 5 minutes to do. Getting pretty hype for this, hope you guys are too.

What kind of logos/overlays do we need? Something that says NORCAL DOGFIGHT on it or something? I can do sprite art so I'd be happy to help. Send me a message if you've got ideas. Let's get hype.

Let's make this happen, fellas. I plan to totally revamp everything for the new GG release. If I can, I'd like to get mod powers so I can clean up around here and get ready for new players, but it's not that big a deal if not. Dangief has been gone for almost 2-3 years now, I have no idea what happened to him, but threads like this one could really use some updating. Expect to see me posting around here more often in the coming months. Once the game is rereleased, I'll be fixing my revamp thread and making it a lot nicer to read. I want to wait to see if they make any changes to Zappa (I heard rumors of some slight balances, so prepare for the best/worst).

Oh snap, this is on my birthday! You know I gotta represent that Zappa. Definitely will do my best to make it. Also, Random Zako Grenade spam ftw.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get back into playing some games. I've actually got a fair amount of room at my place so it's possible we could hold some gatherings here, especially if people bring setups (and chairs). In the meantime, expect to see me down at gamecenter on wednesdays and we'll play some games there. Also, I need to get KOF13. Qwerty showed it to me and it looks legit as hell. The new MB game looks really good too.

Hey guys, I wanna play some more GG so you should see me showing up to these rather frequently. Zappa Loves to play.

I've updated the Raou 5HS and added the Dance section. At this point I'd be willing to list any and all combos you guys have, plus any more shenanigans and mindgame tactics you may have been holding on to.

Yeah these forums need some loving again. Wasn't sure if anyone else still played Zappa, lol. I'll finish my posts when I get a chance.
