4Corners

Well, I do, but I want to do higher damage loop set-ups. EDITED OUT STUPID STUFF THAT DOESN'T MATTER! Also, I was playing on a stick that was really sludgy, and I got used to slamming the stick around to do pretty much anything. Now that I'm back on a JLF, I end up IADing because I'm putting too much force into movements, and blowing past the points on the stick. That prolly didn't mean anything to you, but yeaaaaah. Also, my character requires a bit of technical prowess. I don't have super easy mode gatlings and cancels, knamean? That and you can't use the buffer trick on any Nirvana portion of a combo, and I have to know exact fallspeeds for certain loops, allecan, blah blah blah. tl;dr - I'm getting used to a JLF stick again, want to do more damage, and Carl requires you to actually be technical to play him. =(

Going over it and actually doing it are two entirely different things. Kyle's never done 5b jc iad j2c allecan against me, evar. Actually, no Carl really has. Same with using gears to chip to death. I just wanted to bring it back to attention because of how well it works. It's more of a gimmick mix-up, but stiiiiiill.

Sooooooooo Gear super is broken as hell. I got to play PhaethonH this weekend. He's not bad, but I think that unless I MM him, he's a gunna sandbag. D: Buuuuuuuuuuut That doesn't mean he wasn't playing Carl like a gay little character. 5b jc j2c alle-can is retarded if they aren't expecting it. Seriously, I think you can win rounds with that alone. He almost always JCed any jcable move when Carl was alone, which worked well for a while, but is telegraphed as hell and gets you airgrabbed/allegretto'd soooooooo easily. I'll post more on it in the Carl v Carl thread. But ummmmm Back to the gear super! If you get a chance to burst>clap and you can take it until they're sitting pretty at 1 health, do it! Seriously, after that, it's GGs. What you do is clap loop until they have 1 health, then you let them drop between you and Nirvana. Backdash/set it up so they can't roll away from you Then 5c+whatever Nirvana move you want to use to keep them locked in place and gear super to kill with chip damage. Imma prolly be doing 5c~6d xx gear It's stupid. Also, gears as your super flash buffer is too good. There's a LOT more, but srsly, this super is duuuuuuuuuuumb. OOOOOOOH! There's a use for Anima! pressure them into it (easiest way is gear), so that they'll get the purple throw marks. Dash in while they're busy teching, and do a quick low. It's dirty, and it works. Use very sparingly, I'd think.

Sooooooooo, I got to play vs PhaethonH. It was pretty cool, I learned some new tricks. I also learned just how underplayed Carl really is, and just how quickly the crowd can go from loving Carl to hating him. He's pretty good, but I have a feeling he was sandbagging pretty hardcore, even when I told him to try. D: Buuuuuuuuuuuut, that doesn't mean he didn't do cool stuff. Carl's super is more broken than the clap loop, srsly. Gonna work on getting my execution on point this week. I'm really stoked for PIF.

Baiken is kinda a pain. You have to be really careful when pressuring her. Especially if you have a summon you're fond of. D: You can't cross up Faust unless he's in blockstun the whole time. Stupid 2k.

I played a Faust and Baiken on a regular basis. One I couldn't cross up, the other I couldn't pressure. My Zappa played very weird, to say the least. Sword is for poking/UPPERCUUUUUUUUUUUUT! I love CH sword combos. They're fun.

I dunno, I can normally just dash in and decide whether they're fastfalling or not, and reset accordingly. I figure JP players would know how to do it even better. Pretty sure it's to save Nirvana meter via resetting. Each clap takes 140% of the health the previous one did in order to be used. Continuous activation is a baaaaaad thing, seriously.

Grabbing hitboxes is the shit i miss most with GG. Well, that and Zappa's poor-man's unblockable (spit+tackle, you'd be surprised who eats it). TK sword spin would be sooooooo niiiiiiiiiiiice if it were an overhead. Just get the dog out and win. That's how cool zappas roll. Or ghosts and just keep hitting with j.hs, lololol

This thread is stupid. MARKUS! Why haven't you drawn Noel yet? I put up my Carl thing forever ago. WHERE YOU AT, SON?!? izzyinfamous.deviantart.com check it out, yo

Yep. I've started doing random resets to the people that I can't just clap to death. Also, everyone should learn Carl's solo loop on Tager. 4k damage off a random jump-in while charging Nirvana back up? Yes please. :D

I guess it would prolly be easier to find BB there. Hrm... Move to a better state.

Hell no. I just get to check in on the game room and find out what we're doin' to help with tourneys.

Weird. I thought VA had a decent amount of players. Prolly shouldn't play the CPU, but I dunno. Maybe only use them to make sure you can pull off combos when the opponent is moving?

Hoo boy. People are gonna be learning stuff. Same thing applies to bang, but on a lesser scale.

I had to kill my HRAP so that I could keep playing. I'm very sad. D: I need to get some glue or something, some of the parts become disconnected waaaaaay too easy. Also, I have no headphone jack, and the only buttons that work are a, b, c, and d. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT At least I don't have to stop playing. :D alsoiputinajlfanddontdropcombosremotelyasmuchyay

Same. Chatting random Carl stuff is nice. Gives me stupid ideas. :D

Where are you located?

Also, for the timing, I find it easy to wait until I see the j2c actually start before I start doing the cancel. It's a pretty short window, and you only want to do it until muscle memory takes over, but that should help (I hope).

Imma be babysitting at NDK. How late is it going?

My phone number is everywhere on the internet cuz of Melee, so I've stopped stressing giving it out. I don't think I'll beast ya so bad that you'll sign me up for crappy spam calls or anything. :D It's a good idea. If you can get even 1/16th of the people you talk to to pick it up seriously, Colorado's BB scene will be huge. I'll help with what I can, but I have a feeling I'll be picking your brain for info, too.

EDIT: Double-post. Ghei.

We have one. >_> MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I might come over there next time a friend decides to run over for a convention. I lurves travel.

D: D: D: That sucks. I just gutted my PS2 HRAP to make it into a 360 stick, since my EX2 broke. D: I still have the PCB with all the wires attached, though, so once I have a little more money, Imma make it a dual-system stick. Why is the HRAP case sooooooooooooo gooooooooooood?

Like you? lololjkjk Yeah, the scrub-base is huge for this game. It's like the fighting community's version of Brawl. Only it doesn't suck.
