edit: ~~~

play with me sometime then, apparently im a fucking yosuke magnet.

How's the idea of a combo theory thread, rather than a combo thread, fancy you? I mean of course you could have examples, but explaining when you can meterless double guillotine axe, the benefits of 2c > [bd] loops vs other things, what you need to do in certain situations to make things work (counterhit BD: how to pick up into 2c > [bd] loops) and crap like that because red axe is really more of a combo video mode, where if you can dream it, it probably works and ends in 236236d for 70%+ that way we can have example combos, but it can be more of a flowchart situation so rather than autopiloting combos from memory, you can intelligently wing combos (while also having combos in the memory banks for most situations) an example of why i like this idea is when i drop 2c > [bd] loops because i started it on a air opponent, rather than ground. i know i cant throw into 5aa to keep it going, because they float too high. knowing what to do off 'hit with whatever move, they are floating rather high' or i dont know. i hope you get the idea im proposing (even though it is a lot harder than just a combo list, it might be more useful)

yep, same times, check in at 7, start 730

making a new one. i got people to contact about my weekend, i get out of work in a few hours, i SHOULD know what the fuck is going on, then make a thread. if i dont know by like 8pm, im just gonna make a thread and he can EAD. its looking like saturday though atm ^^.

Well if its for intro players, i think it might be a better idea to not cluster it with shit that new players shouldnt be trying/shouldnt be worrying about/garbage swag combos that are for funsies only thats all i was thinking

i was like 'the fuck happened to our combo thread!' its still in the archives for reference, whew! should we discuss non-optimal/swag/more difficult combo(and combo theory) in the intro combo thread, in the general, or make a new one? figure tari/setsuna/setari tag team have a plan for this ^^ lemme know ^^

again thanks next weeks is either fri or sat, i need to check my schedule, ill make a post later tonight about it we have archives, ill update later tonight also! (edit: http://www.youtube.com/user/JaguarFan86/videos for archives, its added to the OP as well!) just got done hosting an offline thing, so im beat. ill get back to you guys tonight though ^^

team nah full force, low turn outs, even though short notice i did try to keep you informed best i could people need to get in touch with me and say when your good, so i can get people out stop hugging your routers ffs =\ not sure of next gathering, when i get an idea, ill ask people for when they would be able to come, and people can reply with feedback and shit ='(

just a reminder, come out if you can people ^^?

maybe it was near the tail end of gears then, so it wasnt active, cant recall if it broke my persona if it happens again ill save replay and let you know exactly why

weird he ran at me, i did 214214c, he jumped back, it whiffed, he did ex run, ran thru 214214c, CH me for a 3k combo to kill me never did a 214214c i thought might whiff since. wonder why that happened then. o.O

GGs to... xvii i only played you besides the 1 match vs tect lol too strong. (gg's to everyone though, i do watch lol, i got things to learn from tect)

will buy those anime side bars, even for dlc i bet roboky has little chibi super cute steam going 'psh' and shit.

if yosuke doesnt BLOCK 214214c/d, he can ex run thru it and murder you for free. might be able to do on reaction, dunno when it gets its projectile invul.

thats what the frame data they published said, but that could be inaccurate, their guides are fucking notorious for that shit lol, but like you said, beside the point - it was a reasonably fun game, just wish it was more solid across the board. juggle mechanic, hitboxes, frame data, damage output, combo scaling, just everything was a little off to me and i read the 214214c/d test as two things 1: your doing nothing during super flash, what does 214214c/d beat 2: you did 214214c/d, what supers punish it done on the super flash not sure which, but if its #1, its useful to know.

only thing i have to say on sfxt is 1: char love for hwoarang. i played him solo, and fuck my partner, i think i used like... sagat for easy 400 dmg combos lol 2: it was bad design all over the place, lets take cammy jab for example 3 frame normal, +7 on fucking block THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT
