I'm sorry, the Thursday thing was a general statement when I didn't realize that I have training this week on Thursday. Ass, I know. =( I wouldn't be that against still making it (since I'm off Fri) but we have to carpool with other coworkers. My bad.

I'm with Brent. Diablo II doesn't really count, does it? Ugh why not Thursday.

Super Krull is strong zoning. Ehyo thanks Blitaknium Manbeast. :tup: I'll let you know when I pick up the game; I'll def be paying more attention to it tomorrow at the gathering.

Super http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBKcmg0c2bU. I may pick up BB tomorrow! Can anyone hook me up with the characters?

This...is true. On paper though, the system seems levels more interesting. It'll probably be broken, so it's sure to be fun. =p Not if he gets his ass beat...

KOFXIII is going to be a blast. Haters gon' hate.

I've got Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus if anyone wants to check it out.

Man that really wasn't me I promise haha. The culprit did send me a txt message, though (at least, I think that's who it was). I kinda wish it was though because that troll was on point. I need an actual LCD TV, not just a monitor, so I think this is the TV I'm getting: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-VIERA-TC-L32X1-32-Inch-720p/dp/B001U3YK52 Tests look good. When I grab that, I'll finally pick up CS.

Holy shit...that isn't me; I fucking swear. It's frightening how good that is.

Yo whatsup Blake. You were quite subdued at the session. What happened to crazy yelling Blake who talks to me? =p

I hope he remembers his Garmin.

I just secured the rights from Pixar to remake Cars with us 6 and rename it Dicks. We even have plans for a Wii spinoff title called Diicks. We'll also rerelease the movie as Dicks 3D at some point in the future.

Real talk? Fuck Jimmy and the horse he rode in on.

HOLY SHIT stuff blew up while I was typing that LOL. I had some shit about Ed but removed it to remain positive and for the fact that I don't really give a shit about him...and you just rationalized his actions assuming the perspective of someone who thinks that all people of a certain race are out to get him. Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightttttttttttttt (?). If that dude were starving, and my dick was the only food left on the planet, I would probably cut off my dick and burn it in front of him. Then I would dress up like Dee Jay and spit all over him while I bleed from my crotch. MAX OUT. Jon, truthfully, and maybe this is just from my perspective, since I hate all people who aren't hairy like I am and wish they were all dead, but I don't see people putting you down nearly as much as I do you deflecting and reforming constructive criticisms toward how you play into some sort personal attack. It really has nothing to do with you as a person; ITS JUST THE GAMES, but I guess if you always think that someone is attacking you personally, you don't have to accept any mistakes. Except you're not hairy and white like I am so you can't see my Yoga Fire book and I hate your fucking guts. Play me more so I can steal your knowledge you fucking hairless white piece of shit. KOFXII. 3S is dead because I lose in 3S but fuck SFIV because I lost in SFIV so play 3S. KOFXII I talk about T6 but KOFXII.

What in the hell...why do people mix games and real life? You can't have a discussion with Ed, you can only hear him (PROTIP DONT LISTEN), because any attempt at a valid point or even factual statement is completely disregarded in lieu of his perfect knowledge. Don't forget, "you" are "their" enemy. No problem man. Play offline more and you'll have a better sense of what you can react to and with; it's really not hard (HK vs CW at midrange). I'm not going to try to throw HK randomly because I can get hit by a whole host of other shit. I think you missed the point with Abel. Abel, on offense, forces the opponent to guess. If he sets up that situation, holds downback and then reacts to their decision, it's a lot less dangerous. Abel guesses on offense. He forces you to guess on defense. He's good at that. Fei Long isn't as good at guessing on offense right next you, especially with flame kick. Flame kick doesn't even give you oki. Fei Long isn't going to make me move from downback like Abel will. If you have to guess on defense, or have the meter to, fine, but you're overextending yourself for some odd reason on offense when you already have control of the match. Ask Angus. I play him a lot offline (well maybe 80-90 matches a week), and while sometimes I do react to the situation, I do also react to the throws. Even if you're bad at it, and you do it late, all you're taking damage wise is the throw. So you could block and react (or try to), or you could mash out some shit and let me take 40% instead. Blocking covers bases. Make people fight for their damage, why give that shit away for free? I could see this rationale if you did CW in my face, or if I repeatedly did 3/4 screen ex crushers for no reason but to hope it hits you. Crouching short confirmed into combo makes throws scary, safe invincible move (CW) in my face makes throws scary, proper delay to beat crouch techs (easier offline!) makes throws scary. I think you're looking at this backwards, or either from the perspective of someone who only plays people who mash reversal (...again, online). Hey, I just watched it again. I didn't really play well until that 5th round, but after that, I started to move smarter. I was playing sloppy because of how much I didn't want to lose to you again but I won that round and got my confidence =p. I threw you out of a crouching short or two. If you waited, and tried to react, that may have gone different. You gave me free damage with CW and jumping at me. If you walked more, and blocked, you could push me to the corner easier. Bison's options with bar vs without are vastly different, so I think the goal is to make him expend as much as possible without taking damage when it happens. When he's out, put on the pressure or hit him trying to build it. It was a good match but you handed me a lot.

For Honda, ever try this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue0gYR_QeSY

So....this will probably end up long. First, I never said or called anyone "scrubs;" I said "new players" or "those who don't learn as fast." Neither of those are my definition of scrub, and you'll rarely see me use that word anyway. I don't think any of you are scrubs, period - that's not the distinction I was going for. Maybe all this stuff below will give some more insight. From the posts I've seen, the peoples at Cheese's place are newer players, some of whom have been around for at least the last few Lucky's, and some whom I haven't witnessed much progression in (admittedly maybe I'm not looking hard enough), and Jon. I'm really only trying to play Super atm, and that's the net of players who would be there and their experience in Super, be it Dale, Trykt, whoever. With the newer players, I would probably learn some random things, but it's doubtful with the way those guys play at the moment, that anyone would take me out of my game and force me to take it further; I could probably just block and break throws if I were down on life and eventually they'll just throw themselves at a wall. If I felt like I didn't have anything to learn, then I'd be a scrub - I want to be pushed. Also never said I didn't like to play newer players, I was saying that it isn't the only thing that I want to do if I drive to play. If I feel like it's a comfortable environment where I can say something without someone getting offended, I'll almost always give insight on why I made what decision or how the match went. Don't mind helping at all, but if these are the only players to play, I'm nowhere near the best player ever, but it would just be me offering advice, with little return for myself...after driving 1:30 to 2 hours. Come through here, we'll play all day; I've had a number of sessions where it was just me and Will for a bit and we talked a lot. Why wouldn't large gatherings be good for new or inexperienced players? They can watch people with more knowledge go at it, live, and have them available to ask questions immediately, even if they're not playing. They can watch why some people do better against whoever is winning, and why some don't. Learning isn't exclusive to the two players on the sticks. Then there's you, Jon. Over and over again, you make the exact same mistakes and lose the same way. Too much guessing, too little blocking, too much anticipation, too little reaction. No matter how much we talk about it, you play exactly the same. Reads usually seem to carry a positive connotation, while random is negative. IMO, the shit you do is considered random because you're HORRIBLY negative or WIDE OPEN when you do it. A chicken wing from 3/4 screen isn't going to hit shit, unless it's a lag match OR I'm mashing or doing some negative shit. If I scissor with Bison, and it hits you, it could be considered a good read, conversely, if you hit a button to cover my scissor, and you CH me, that's a good read. If I guessed wrong, lk scissor is even on block. What's flame kick on guard? If I crouch chicken wing, what's that recovery? How about when you rekka in my face (when I have a 3 frame cr.short), instead of spacing it properly? Optimal situation for me would be to whiff a poke outside of your longest poke range, that is hard for you to rekka in recovery, that would hit a rekka on your way in, that would also recover in time to aa you if you jump or CW. Abel's TT isn't going to leave him in the air for 2 seconds, they would have to jump up to punish (which depending on character and jump arc, may not be that dangerous), or mash reversal, two things that if he didn't go for the guess, and the opponent did, he can use to his advantage. If you want to flame kick randomly, all the fuck I have to do is hold back, regardless of character. Abel damn near has one poke; his game is to get in and force the guess and/or cover your escape, and he gets a much higher reward. That's not necessary with Fei. That example doesn't work. Your play looks like it's built on outguessing the opponent, instead of outplaying them. This won't make either player better. I mentioned abusing Fei's walk speed in the vs Sagat fight. I didn't realize he was that slow, true, but have you seen Sagat lately? You know what happens when you get close to him? I have to block and react, or GUESS. CW from 3/4 screen wasn't the optimal strategy. I remember you mentioning how I "studied" Fei vs Bison after Luckys...I didn't study that much really. Not saying that to be arrogant, but rather how I opened up your playstyle with reaction and blocking. I played Q with Fei for 15 or so matches and saw how tough it was, RH beats CW, guard beats flame kick. Art and Min told me to walk back and block. You may say I threw some random ex crushers in our last fight, but most covered multiple options (didn't throw many mid range). I knew if you blocked, I would get punished, so I checked my life, and used it to escape the corner. If I hit you, good shit, if you blocked, I had the life to eat the damage, but when I got up, I was out of the corner. I don't really see a way that you can "bait" Bison standing HK when the other player is reacting with it - it's something you have to work around. I'm not going to HK when you're in my face, and outside of that range, I'm not going to throw it out because I GUESS you're doing CW, a move that's easy to react to (note: ULTRA) outside of midrange. --------------- One last thing that I sort of noticed...whenever we've played, I've done better on the lag-free setups, while you do better at Gamefrog and when we've played online. Wonder why? You say you don't feel the lag on the Gamefrog TVs, or it's not much to adjust to and shouldn't affect the game; maybe this can open your eyes a bit: Not from midrange, not when I react. Harder to do through lag. Not nearly as true when there isn't lag (almost really wrong, even), and it's an even worse decision where your guess leaves you horrendously negative. Lag? Spacing? Rhetorical. This is harder to do in lag, because the inputs aren't going to match with what's on the screen, and you don't have as much time to react. I played him on CRT last Wilmington session and was shutting him down some because his cr.short kept getting CH or thrown. Online tactic. Know why? You're not safe when you guess, unlike say...short scissor. BLOCK/REACT TO THROW WINS AGAIN. This is just throwing shit at a wall; if it sticks, you win, but in the end, you're still throwing shit. Block. React. Flame kick won't hit a goddam thing. Possible offline/offgamefrog. How much of this applies when you CW against someone 1/2 to 3/4 screen who is walking or holding downback? How much of this applies when you CW against someone holding downback, at close range, in an environment where it's possible to react to throw? --------------- I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I was just being blunt and honest, but hopefully this cleared up any confusion. So uhh...yeah, that was long.

Shuttup white enemy. Haha I didn't realize what everyone was doing. Reply to replies to my earlier post coming soon. I like how you can have actual discussions here. :p

You took that the wrong way; you totally weren't the type of person or play I had in mind when I said that. Walk more and block more instead of guessing random move. You may win some like that but neither player gets better. In all honesty, if you played like that, I'd also be more apt to drive to Seasofcheese. There isn't any specific list of people that I had in mind when I posted that; all I was saying was that I didn't want to go to a session if it's a bunch of newer plays only. If they're mixed in with more experienced players/faster learners, then that's awesome, because I really don't mind helping, but that also gives me the opportunity to make something of the drive for myself. Hope that makes things seem less "asshole-ish?" Ron...you're still rocking the big white tank? Hope things got better for you too the past couple of weeks.

THIS GUY!? Eddieeeeeeeeeeeeee

I would be thankful for Thursday gatherings. I'm more than good to drive up there. The one thing keeping me from Seasofcheese place is basically the people who aren't going to be there. I want to learn, and don't mind helping, but don't want to drive to teach a class, nyahmean. That sounds awfully elitist, and I do apologize. THURSDAY SESSIONS! I really need to get off my ass and start some ranking battles here. We all need to have a consistent place with something on the line. We could do CS and Super, and if (or when) they get big, we could do single elim tourneys until top 8 (some other ranbat did this). Make sure people can get home in time if they need to, or stay later for casuals if they want to. I need to post here more. I like you guys. No homo.
