qwerty

i would like for you to spend a week mere miles from the best arcade on the continent, only to be forced to sit through endless bickering between old women over dinner.

leaving tomorrow.

as in my opponent? some white kid, like most of who was at ufo. and i only play hakumen.

i was at ufo earlier, from 3-5:30 or so. chances of coming back tonight are slim to none- this has been a family vacation, after all. beat some random scrubs at 13 (how is this even possible? i haven't played it once until today), then some litchi player who looked like he was trolling played me a bit... next time i'm in town, i should have more freedom.

don't give him attention; he craves it. just know that in ct, he placed no better than me and i was the only low tier player in norcal.

the ones in austin at least (i'll be at ufo very soon, I MEAN IT THIS TIME)

i must know, does your name come from the scene in freddy got fingered where tom green tells his brother to keep his fingers crossed?

actually, i scrubbed out and missed my stop by like six streets. i was planning on dropping by for a bit and then catching the bus back, but neither of those happened. guess it's what i get for not coming here for four years. i'll be there on the 26th for sure though.

so the bb life cycle came full circle over here too? bb stopped being a competitive game mid-ct, and became anime facebook when cs came out on console.

i think it's definitely gonna be a 26th-29th kind of deal. though i'm currently at the starbucks off of anderson if any of you wanna hang. FUCK IT, i'm heading over right now.

i'm at the only place in the country where you can play ah3 and kof13 at the same time.

still haven't gone yet. :\ i think all my ufo activity is gonna be confined to the 26-29th at this rate. this is a family trip, after all. oh, but if you did wanna hang tonight, just pm me for my address and we can chill. i'm a 15 minute drive from ufo, but also a poverty cali kid who's used to being able to walk places.

no internet where i'm staying, but i'm only five miles from ufo. i might be there tonight.

i finally gave in and made my sig a blade quote

too bad i won't be there to play the fuck out of snake

what's the input for her parry? assuming it's like jam's (5 for x number of frames, then 46), then you should be able to bait them pretty easily by delaying moves/staggering out your blockstrings.

hahah, my "elitist" advice is all true though. i appreciate that you took initiative before i even said anything; we need more of that around here. i realize a lot of you that were around in ct are used to the bad old days of having a "mod", but spark does a lot for these forums (more than most other character mods do; go look if you don't believe me). i just find it telling that even though i haven't played the game for a year, i'm still one of the go-to guys for advice. i'm no better of a player than most of you (in fact, most of you could probably beat me in a mirror match at this point); i just read the mook inside and out before dropping this game. but yeah, the long and short of it is that the best way to learn a matchup you don't play often is to just learn that character yourself. you'd be surprised just how easy it can be if you aren't focusing on combos and moreso on footsies, oki, etc.

i'm gonna be in the middle of downtown most of the week, so i'll probably be at ufo more than i initially thought. which is great, since i just now remembered they have a 13 cab. <3

guys, this isn't meant to be insulting or anything, but give those two a break. i'm sure at least one of you has purchased makoto, so why don't you pick her up as a sub and get to understand how she works? or get a friend to do it for you or something. i mean, most of the regulars here understand hakumen well enough (individual flaws as players aside), so why not expand your knowledge on your own? you have the frame data, some of you have the character i'm sure, so why not put a little time into it and see what you come out with? if you don't understand something, there's always the makoto forums and the mook. the worst that can happen is you learn a little. :P

my advice? don't play cs2 hakumen.

solution: move out of the sticks

cs2 isn't coming to the states and that's all that matters. wait until console release or play a better game.

so i was thinking i'd bring my hrap, ps2 and games- or would that not be necessary?

chris, is your last name mcguirk by any chance?
