Starting to create training materials for myself: Are you guys updating the combo list with the latest useful/best stuff?

Because I'll be prepared http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08-uyfp2iPM

Let's see - I was supposed to have that FT10 vs Mac but I want a little more preparation How about we have some FT10s and I can get folks to commentate - we can come back on the show and talk about the set? any volunteers?

Testing WMM 2012 - it works. FRAUDLIKE!

Hilda's moves and techniques are still scary when played well. I remember 1.07 coming into her own at the very end just by watching vids and the good 2.0 hildas still wreck people even without full tech developed on combos.

I have just ordered my import. "Goodbye Extend" streams are happening until then. I still want to say: if there's any point in Chronophantasma I say "I was better at extend Litchi" or "I miss extend Litchi" please slap me.

I do not usually do this but: Quoted the WHOLE POST for Truth. Post of the year! Close this thread or open one where people can talk about what they can change about themselves to improve the community. 1. Your anecdote doesn't mean much as an example. 2. All you have to do is read the words that people post. That's all you *can* do on a forum and the second part of your post applies as long as you get help on other people's terms. Sure, they've been burnt in the past so they act like that, but now the behavior is burning others - that's where you draw the line. That's where you can't say nothing's wrong. I cannot believe how many times I've heard people say there's nothing wrong - a sure sign of a closed-off attitude, in my opinion. That's your elitism, right there. This is frustrating to watch happen over and over to gaming communities. They always think there's nothing wrong! 3. Hilarious that some people won't be able to step up to Reaver's words without attacking him personally. What a absolutely hilarious refusal to confront a problem. Sure! There's nothing wrong! Nothing to be changed or improved upon or reflected on around here! Nope! Nothing at all! Anime FGC is perfect! I'm gonna spare you the spoilered part of what I just wrote and stick to this: It feels like shit when you're fighting against the mainstream, doesn't it? I know that feel. Reaver is right. What it boils down to is a status quo that's been collectively built up over a long time, and it looks like a waste of time to anyone that wants to touch an anime game. The collective behavior is adding up to a status quo that just sucks. They are wiser to avoid it, even if it actually hurts their Game and they don't improve! This thread has gone on for IDK how many pages of people refusing to look at themselves, man up, and say "You know what? I'm not repping in a way that gets people different from me in and gets them to stay, I'm gonna treat someone I know better." I'm no fucking saint, though. I'm no FGC hero. I clearly don't treat as many people in the community as well as I should, but I'm working on it, even if there are times all I want to do is forget about everyone and accept being a bad guy just to keep things critical, if not flat out forget trying to make any friends or mend any fences at all. I'm willing to do work for it. When I find I treat someone badly, I fix it if I can. That's why I am trying to find better ways of handling new players. The old ones - I don't fucking know, man. I can't change your behavior by myself. You don't respect me, you don't think I'm even part of the community, and some of you are committed to removing me or forcing me to leave the FGC. Whatever. I'm sticking around to try to help and use my skills. Listen to people saying the same things I am. The collective behavior adds up to something - and it sucks. Me? I'm trying to do my own thing to help people play my games and maybe play them well. If it means I have to bring people into the game and community that you think suck or "don't belong here" or "have no place here", well, no one fucking asked you, and no one needs to ask for your goddamned permission to join or participate in the frigging Anime FGC. The only thing that truly matters is expanding the game and community. If you think that's wrong - feel free to turn the Anime FGC into a Gated Community with a Homeowner's Association. Just to make sure my post isn't deleted because someone doesn't like it: I'm going to once again offer incredibly good tips for improving the situation, even if you think it's currently perfect: 1. Act like you are the ONLY person that plays your game and you NEED to get others to play. Act like your game really is shit and you want to make it better. 2. STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE TO OTHER GAMES! 3. Treat everything and everyone with fairness, sympathy and respect. Characters, Games, people, opinions; Give them all time to work out and discuss things without bad or vague generalizations. They hurt our game. 4. Teach everyone how to beat YOU - be open and forthcoming about your own weaknesses. You must WANT others to beat you! 5. CARE about them getting better and want them to succeed. People are not Input->Process->output. People are very difficult investments - but you don't have a choice but to care if you want a community to survive, let alone succeed.

GGs - was working on trying ot instant block and punish things when nothing was going well. :D I was told to do nothing but instant block and punish things while staffless so I had to do that or it would be me not listening to people again.

setting up! see ya there!

How about tonight I open a big-ass Extend room 3bar+ and start taking skype calls on stream?

HOW DO I BEAT THIS GUY OMG SO HARD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHwDR2p3XRk Learning a lot lately, real talk. Gonna change up a lot of things soon.

time for more match commentaries!! http://twitch.tv/starsickle

I'm setting up to start tonight's BB stream. Come on in http://twitch.tv/starsickle

I would love to do this. I'm not afraid to do this. I'd think I'd have an amazing experience. I do not think I'd have the money to go, though. That makes me sad, because I WOULD go on that adventure. If you can break down the expenses for us, that might help planning a LOT.

Under Night In birth commentary! http://twitch.tv/starsickle

This guy is still unbelievable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHwDR2p3XRk Anyone up for AC tonight? any night? anyone have time?

Anyone want AC+ after I play Xblaze?

GGs to everyone I haven't gotten to play Tsuuna since Calamity Trigger. It pretty much went the same way. Looks like I didn't make any progress on him, but Jesus. No answers to Bang's approach and speed. Bang runs circles around me and I don't have a button that will work on that stuff. Even matchup - based on what kind of keep away and momentum on Litchi's part? Cripes.

Alright - let's see what we get. Room opening, stream going up.

HI! Anyways - games tonight? Soonish? Should I bother plugging anything in?

They aren't all created equal! Different pads seem to end up starting out different and/or breaking in different. If you have carpel tunnel or arthritis playing stick may be very painful. If you don't learn to use your fingertips the right way you can bruise your knuckles or fingers, and that hurts way, WAY more than any Pad callus will, and it hurts for about a week.

I would say "better late than never" but TBH I'm ready to just give it up and continue playing AC+ casually. This isn't worth the aggravation to work hard on right now. Shame - I wanted to do Tatami loops.

What Chaos said - just to be clear. You guys DO know I care about things, too, right? I don't think you do. Some of those things are the exact same cares and worries as yours.

I'm disappointed that I had to find that Klaige talks like this - seriously. To be honest - I *really* don't give a shit about what this actually brings to Baiken because all of you will still neverendingly complain about her (like you are already) regardless - and I don't want to listen to it because it's absolutely worthless to me and other players. I don't like using glitches, myself, but hey, maybe if I get my hands on +R I'll try learning the technique just for lols and to continue making people mad at Baiken. Right now, I've given up on +R and Guilty Gear until Xrd. If it were me your position, I could either stay mad, put up with problems, go back to AC+, or just move on. Games dead. it's been dead. Continues to be dead. I think the policy decision is simple, and I want to recap my first post about it - Ban something about our dead game or be mad at our dead game. Perhaps +R is a lost cause and fell completely short. We expected it to revitalize something and instead the lack of US release combined with zero momentum from ArcSys (amongst other community-contributed factors) has failed to meet the expectation. +R's a flop. Maybe we should admit it and just forget about this thread and the rather discouraging attitudes and personalities present in it. It's obvious we can't hash any of this shit out amongst ourselves and with no help from ArcSys coming, the situation looks completely broken and unmanageable from everyone's POV. I'm just avoiding GG now, and it's not because I'm scared or jealous or mad at some stupid Macro glitch, it's because of all the shit and attitudes that that are surrounding it, now. Just give up on +R, maybe. AC+ is still good. It still exists. People present here clearly didn't have a problem playing it for years! Nobody will take it away from you!

THIS IS STILL GOING? Well, I've outsmarted all of you! I have found the answer to all of this! Hold that shit. Here's a wild, crazy suggestion that doesn't tell *anyone* to eat a dick: Let stick players use a macro. They have 6 to 8 buttons on their face.
