Ichipoo

I'm just curious but Kevin, would you happen to have GG on your PS3 already? I'm sure you have it on 360 though.

It'd be great if you could make it tomorrow night. I need to grind the Yukiko matchup. Well I do know that at the very least me and Kevin will play GG.

I'll try to free up my schedule this Friday.

I'm not usually this vulgar but fuck you for making me think there was news to this game. And it wasn't even that funny, sorry.

Looks like I can't make it to Saltmines tonight. Got some studying to do oh and I still haven't forgotten that I owe you $5 for spotting me last week Steven.

If only I had the time though, being a college student really doesn't allow you to have much time for video games anymore. I guess I'll just stick to what I do best, sticking to fundamentals, playing to my character's strengths but be derp and braindead when under pressure/defense.

Kevin being drunk? I wanna see! Also, come back now glod.

KANAN, you should definitely make it to San Diego Saltimes every Monday night from 6 to 10 pm at Pangea Bakery if you have time. A few people who play P4A also go there and other people also play AE, Marvel, etc. if you're up for it.

I've heard of it a while back, just never given it some thought and I certainly didn't know that they've gotten a good amount of people showing up. I'll definitely try to go there next Saturday. I wonder if Spidey and his friends have been there.

Played GG for a few with my friend on his 360 and wow, I feel really rusty. Looks like I'm sticking with Ky and Sol for now. And I can't go tomorrow either unfortunately.

So why haven't the Japanese ripped the music yet?

Something I've been noticing by watching Xie play. I don't see him do j.B > j.C that much and he goes into j.B > slight delay > 5A instead. Is it because j.B > 5A is more consistent than j.B > j.C? Sure seems to be that way, especially if you did a while bunch of stuff before the j.B.

Why use Megido outside of combos? I've seen a few Japanese Aigis players use it as some sort of pseudo anti-air against approaches from the air?

I think my Naoto has hit a plateau. I feel like she's not improving no matter how many times I get bodied.

Thanks for that, in that case, my stick layout will look like this then. Light Medium Heavy X Style GHA But then again, based on what I've just learned about the controls, looks like it'll be easier to play this game on pad as it was seemingly intended from the start that it wasn't going to be that serious of a fighter.

Can anybody here translate the controls here? The only thing I want to figure out is what does the X and R1 button do. http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/021/004/l_50500dc28627c.jpg

-5A/2A/5A, 5AA staggers and what not. -End your initial blockstrings with sweep in order to condition them. -Grab and use AoAs. No seriously, mix in a few grabs and overheads if you want opponents to respect Naoto since her pressure is rather one dimensional compared to others. -Performing 5C before 5B to mess with your opponent's rhythm. -Running up to my opponent after a few 5A/2As to make it look like I'm about to grab them and then backdash away to mess with them. -Mix in a few 2[C]s if they're being REALLY respectful for some odd reason since it's +8 on block. This is just what I do. I'm sure there's some really good tricks out there that I haven't mentioned.

I'm not talking about connecting 2[C] after bouncing the opponent up from a D trap, I'm talking about connecting 2[C] after the opponent gets hit with Mudoon.

So where's the video? Anyway I still can't connect 2[C] after Mudoon. I tried doing 214B~D like someone previously suggested to alleviate the timing issue of it but still no good.

Gonna sit this out guys, sorry. Hopefully I'll see you guys at Saltmines if I can go though.

So who's going tonight? It's a solid maybe for me.

Still waiting on Mariah.

bellreisa told me that playing gay against Liz works wonders, which was evident in our matches with each other about a month ago. Basically you'll want to keep Liz out because she can really hurt you when she gets in, especially with those nasty resets that she has. Lots and lots of well aimed bullets was Liz's bane in those matches. Just be aware that if she does happen to block bullets, that you be unpredictable with when you cancel them since having Liz block the 5th shot means eating a fullscreen Maziodyne. Also, R-Action > 6X worked wonders in the gaps of her 5C strings, as it blasts Liz away and also takes away a Persona stock if she's being obvious with Thanatos.

I REALLY wished something among those lines was posted on the opening post of the Saltmines thread on SRK for those not familiar with the area. Would've saved me at least 10 minutes of frantically looking for a "safe" spot to park on my first trip there and also I wouldn't have the thought "Am I going to get a ticket?" in the back of my head the duration I'm there on my first and second times there. Also I'm gonna try to finish any homework tonight and tomorrow so I can free up my schedule for tomorrow, if I'm able to go, I hope to see some new people...... otherwise I wouldn't mind playing countless matches with Kevin again though.
