I added you on PSN.

I've lost so many matches because of DangerTime... Carry on. I'm just ranting.

HCR prevents swimming.

Gotcha, that's fine. FYI there's a FB group for NEPA now. https://www.facebook.com/groups/987763274579264 That should help.

I go through Scranton once in a while. Who is the Asian guy in Scranton? LOL I had started up the NEPA FGC in like 2011 and I was the only Asian that ever showed up. We used to play at Adventure games in Dickson City. The whole thing moved to Bethleham/allentown now.

LOL, none of those names are familiar to me. I think everyone I used to hang out with graduated in 2012 or 2013.

I have a question. I'm mostly new to GG (Xrd's my first, though I've been playing since 2014) and I'm mostly a venom player. I kinda want to take a long break from Venom though and regroup my thoughts. I've given Ky and I-No some time, but neither are my style. I usually play zoning characters or rushdown characters and Millia aint' my thing. I wanna get a lil Chipp down. Where do I start? He's got a lot of intricate combos and some good looking buttons. Anything like a "Standard 3 combos you MUST learn' type of thing? I'm good with a few (Like literally 3-4) points to always keep in mind and I can go from there. His combos and setups are so diverse though, I don'tk now where to begin. At least Venom only had like 3 combos to start with. LOL!

@DrKatz I still live in Ithaca. I'll be in Binghamton tonight, actually but not for gaming. I could make it down on a weekend. I added you on PSN. BTW - where you at Binghamton when John Lee, Eddie Hung, and Mubariz were there? I used to go to BU and play that group of people. I think there was a Facebook group called GuardBreak Binghamton?

I agree with all the above. He's hard, super fulfilling. If you choose to devote yourself to the character, he can be workable for beginners. he's my first character, as Xrd is my first GG game. I also prefer charge characters and characters with super technical zoning abilities. It's always been my playstyle, so it comes a little more natural for me. But I will admit, I've put more time into Venom than I have in SF4 as a whole. He takes a lot of work. Between my two accounts, I have over 10 days of training mode logged, mostly with Venom. That's 240+ hours - and I still drop BnBs or miss setups. He's hard.

Can you be thrown while charging? And damn, I checked this forum AS you replied... wow

That's really interesting. I like that. Earlier, I was thinking the new blitz would have crippled Venom even more, but if you can't do projectile / low, it doesn't.

That's hot. I like that second one.

I understand it's early in the morning on a Friday... lol (10:40am)

5D is multi-hits?

El's cS destroyed me last night... I have a question. The wiki says 5D has 3(2)3 active frames. What does that mean? Same with 2D as 1(15)8.
