That's right, don't play other random characters unless you're a top player, like me! I sorta wanna pick up Eddie, but I'm lazy.

It should be Al Gore, because he likes Futurama.

I'm sure you'll say that to my face when I beat you 100-0

Man, losing Leonard for SER sucks ass. I was looking forward to having him experience tournament play for the first time ever. btw, you guys calling me to tell me Kurumster said Johnny sucks was hella random.

Louisianaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am kenmastersX! The strongest Johnny alive! My combos are so strong, they cost $5.45 without tax, and that's without supersizing it!

Venom hurts, every time I play him it seems like I'm dodging bullets from all angles.

The idea is to get a small idea on how to play a character from what other people talk about, then formulate a game plan that revolves around your play style, or working a character into how you play and making it work. This is the basis of Jeet Kune Do err...growing as a player.

Man, I just looked at my check, and I'll be broke for another two weeks. FUCK.

btw Pat, I think you should also add in the section "closing the gap" that you could also use the coin as something to throw at the opponent to cover yourself.

I like the brotherly love here. It's so adorable. In other news I should practice hella before SER. I don't know when is a good time for it, though. :o

He couldn't get a flight that would make it in time for the tournament to start, the next flight that would go to Vegas would've been the next day. :/ I want to go to Baton Rouge, but I have work in the evening, so no can do.

Alex Perales was stuck in traffic and missed his flight by 3 hours.

Man, I didn't mentally prepare all the way for Evo this year. Fuck. I got 7th in singles taking out random top players, but in teams I got screwed with missing a team member that would've helped a whole lot. I'm taking a small break from GG.

I played 9 hours non-stop Capcom Fighting Jam with a friend when it was new, no lie. NEVER AGAIN Nonstop GG is fine if there's a variety of opponents, but since you're not exactly in the position for that, it kinda sucks.

I'll still sit here until something happens. :p

I'm sorry you're not Japanese. Gotta learn the vocabulary if you want to talk to other people. :p Another random word I remembered while browsing the AC tier list topic. abare: The possibility to do damage off of random hits. We can say Johnny has good abare when he has a level 2 mist finer, he can follow up random hits/counter hits to big damage situations. :o

Yes, that's probably the best comparison you could make. Okizeme is extremely prominent in ST and Guilty Gear. They're both very similar in that respect, as well as taking extremes in zoning and the giant emphasis on character matchups.

dp means dragon punch. wtf@down punch.

To sum up okizeme, it's the mindgame you play on opponents when they're waking up from being knocked down. It's extremely important in Guilty Gear, since there isn't ground teching, so you get to force the opponent into whatever you want to do when they're getting up.

I'm not too worried about it. I've only been crank called once, and that was by people I already had the number to.

So, I dunno if anyone saw this tactic, but it seems that if you hit a ball with a force break stinger aim or force break carcass raid, the ensuing ball stays in place. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GHqWSYJEd1g It is demonstrated here around 4:08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7w0Hu1zoBw and here at 5:15. I think this will be extremely useful in controlling space, basically forcing someone to throw a projectile to nullify it, or screwing them over by forcing them to either stay away or run into it blocking. edit: Just messed with it, and it seems that the ball staying in place will only be for a few seconds, then it goes away. Still, this can lead to hilarity if you charge up the stinger aim/carcass raid to full charge. lmao you can hit the ball that's left in place. Hitting giant black holes like volleyballs is the best. Hm, it seems you can affect more than one ball with the force break if they rebound. I tried this on the kick five-ball formation, and the balls that rebounded off of the force break stinger aim stayed in place.

I'm pretty sure I can stay up late and can house you guys after work, and then you guys could leave sometime before I leave on Friday. But if you'd rather skip that part and just go straight to Houston, that'll be fine. edit: Oh god I think I work in the morning on Friday. >_> Passing us up entirely seems the best option, unless I magically get Friday off for some reason (which I can pull off) but if you guys are gonna be in town on Thursday with nothing to do for a bunch of hours, I would just pass. You guys could always stop on the way back from Houston, though. Just let me know. :o

That's a lot of missed coins from throwing Eddie. I figured you would've stopped after like, the 5th time. @_@ <3 4r5

Ah, okay. Make sure you contact me by phone (504)717-6976 or the forums. I might have some problems as far as timing comes by since I work from 3pm to 10pm Thursday, but if you guys come through Friday I can work around my job.
