That's not possible. U should be doing the 28S ball shot after 6p/6

it teleports to the oldest summoned ball on the field like if u did p summon k summon s summon > teleport, it would move u to your p ball

not a new vid, but watchin somewhat recent N-O and came across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOOIEixQjww&NR=1#t=6m59s lmao at 7:13

lol right? i miss austin

i can def agree that tk mad struggle > tk bomber, its like a 7 > 3 match-up, and bomber isn't even a bad move but thats cuz that forcebreak is just tits

its true, IB raggy's 2C and he has to do something with invuln to stop bang from poking then again, this applies to a ridiculous # of situations in BB...IB is too good

indeed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think the GG finals even went down, it was just an agreement between #1 and 2

on average, the kick down needs to be hit 13 or before, certain moves (like grand viper) can extend (or shorten) that number. Its actually a good idea for knockdown if you're having to super jump for clean hits as has been known to happen, or if you're uncomfortable with how you think they'd bounce back after a clean hit SW.

the timing to buffer in the kick after VV is a little dif from previous GG's, you actually have to time it now to a degree to get knockdown after several hits. Just work on your timing and make sure there aren't TOO many hits in the combo. You should be able to feel a difference between doing the kick (as) soon (as possible) and doing it (as) late (as possible) try not to get into the habit of just mashing 214k214k214k... during VV as its not consistent enough unless you're doing it really fast. But all in all its not really a hard link as you do have a small window to buffer it in.

we only had 1 tv for two days =/

ty, gj props to gear for being bigger than blaz gearxxx make it happen

that blew me away

stop yelling or you'll scare the young'uns

that'd be great lookin forward to matches, wonderin how many we'll get for this game

oh hey, ya, forgot about this post. I can try to do a full write up in the match-ups a little later, i had the chance to play zoogstin this weekend at FR, maybe he'd rather do it having gotten to play against some VE. Otherwise feel free to just copy this stuff over.

Woo, another final round come and gone! Props to blanka/bobsmack for gettin everything set-up and runnin the event. And good shit to Heidern for FINALLY gettin through GG teams and singles. Man is a pleasure to deal with, good shit. To all the players, thanks for comin out and doin your best to try and show that GG aint dead. Games were amazing, glad to finally have more people to play than just my roommate. @ Bama: To the sol player, solidplay i believe. You had me friday, I had you sunday, thats all it was I think. Great games, and props for never letting me move forward on the screen. Hope all that venom match-up xp can be put to use. @ sirsmoov, I thought u were gonna take down jan's team man, nice shit in teams, and from what i hear you were just rusty. Nice axl, I woulda been completely lost in singles if 40% of the matches I play back home weren't against axl, was a huge help, and I'd imagine you don't have many venoms to play against. To doren.... I'm gonna win next time, thats all there is to it. Good shit Vyers- GG's man, I'm learnin that baiken match-up too. Linuka- back and forth man, I guess it ended with your revenge. I still feel like I choked with top 8 on the line, but you didn't and thats what mattered. Way to play. Frank the tank - I dunno if you even remember that scrub venom who gave you 10 bucks just so you could wipe the floor with him, but goddam man I thought you were the best at the tourney. I swear if flash and jan weren't conspiring against you, you'da taken first. It'll be there next time man, good luck. Hotnix - we'll finish up next time...bet it Krazykorean - We should go to red lobster next time and send steve the leftovers. If you really wanna play some GG...come to texas :D I'll catch you when you've got some practice behind you. Hope I helped you out in SF4 Zoogstin - Man, by the end of our casuals session you about had my number. I'm just lucky we played in the tournament before you had me all figured out. Great shit, nice to see you adapt, and again, hopin you put that venom match up xp to good use. Btw, don't listen to me talk to myself when I play...I really need to stop that shit. Alphakami - Like fucking 3 years in the making, and we finally got some fate unlimited codes! Nice rider, wishin we had played after our little practice sessions in the hotel room...so I coulda showed you some 100% combos . All I got left to say though is gimme SER4....oh and my axl friend wants a rematch. ....can't believe I missed the CS tournament...I WAS SITTING 2 FEET FROM THE DAMN COMPUTER ps... I'd like to dedicate this FR to venom's 6P

guilty gear in houston? I'm there! hope this isn't a stupid question cuz i know you say it'll all be ran on ps3's, but does that even include gear and third strike?

well, i could get at least 2 people together for gear on most given nights (one's my roommate), if i was lucky i could get maybe 2-3 more players of varying skill... if you happen to come on one of the special drinking nights when houston crews randomly meet up and pull out old games, you might manage to get 7-8 people to play against, but those are random and spontaneous

if he could finish a sidewinder combo i'd be impressed jk jk...i swear it looks like he's been studying dogura's habits for years, sol baiting robo dp's... lol

yo...i wouldn't get your hopes up too much for a college station gathering. I know two guys in the area that used to play, haven't talked to them in over a year, and they never frequented dustloop. But really your best bet is either houston or austin, and even then you're gonna wanna give some forewarning before you show up if you want to get some people together for gear. I'll play ya if you come to houston

you didnt see them put out the american tier list recently? S: Eddie, Testament, Slayer A: Baiken, May B: Everyone else 9th: Jam based off an average of tourney results...

wonder if there will be gear set-ups friday if not, someone let me in on some casuals @ alphakami, got fate d('.')b lets do this, i can do 1$ a match all night

i'll give you all of that, but maybe if i reword this, and from experience a lot of this has become based on preference, and i ask you as someone who plays both characters, do you ever play axl vs venom? where do you feel most comfortable with venom? and at mid range, venom does have options, but doesn't axl twice as many? and I used to 6H more in this area, but local axl can sometimes counter on reaction. If i touch you with anything close range it doesn't go into ball, it goes into venom mix-up pressure which is way worse Whenever I'm midrange it just feels like a giant !!! comes up over my head, because it seems if we play the guessing game, the risk/reward/rock paper scissors tends to lead in axls favor. I'm not gonna get axl to jump at this range, but axl can get venom to jump, and axl definately has ways to deal with jumpers here as well as if i stayed on the ground. maybe if i added that most of the axl's i've played (i play one almost every day) seem comfortable with trading hits a lot of the time, you can see why i'd feel this way

was that really lawl worthy? by your argument, i guess max range isn't a problem becuase axl can jump, counter, block pool balls, and close range is perfectly fine cuz you have S/HS DP's venom can deal? really? i never said he can't do anything there, but from experience, its a better range for axl and i'm just not comfortable throwing shit out at that range. I have f.S which leads to nothing (if i try to summon a pool ball from 5S axl gets free pokes), but axl can get knockdown off some pokes at this range, whereas close range i have faster pokes and far range my shit is safe from long ass chains. And weren't YOU the one going on about how you just need to up your game with Axl pressure? I think it also goes to mention, just because you, shuuto, or whoever the good JP axls are dont constantly throw out 2P/5P and the like, doesn't mean axl doesn't have those options, doesn't mean people, especially american players aren't going to use it, doesn't mean that I'm not gonna worry about it like he doesn't have those choices. Likewise, just because you think 5S is gonna shut down axl midrange all day, doesn't mean i'm going to spam it. Especially against a character who has a counter... AND because I feel like you're gonna bring it up...axl doesnt counter at this range or w/e...it can and will happen and it will make some people hesitate to 5S. edit: its not a matter of venom trying to get in behind a pool ball if axl is the one that initiates mid range gameplay. I'm not saying that you stop a venom cold here, I'm saying when you get the edge, this is the place you would probably want to stay. Also I'm not prone to pushing buttons when I see chains coming at me so don't expect me to try attacking 2P's on reaction with a character that doesn't have an uppercut. I don't think for an instant that damage is all that matters...but for gods sakes it is worth mentioning from time to time...I stand by the belief that range is the #1 factor here. double edit; I think I came off too passionate in this post...if you're reading this and attaching a voice to it in your head...try to make it more monotone
