Shining Aquas

I have no idea how you are supposed to combo effectively with Shannon.

Sounds like someone missed the joke.

The object is NCI is not to find games that are worse than Shaq-Fu

I've been messing around with Shannon/Lucifer. Shannon really doesn't seem all that great...

Johnny too strong for me

Goddammit Chun, how are we supposed to have the House of the Dead 2 ranbat now?

Ernest, I might be able to go to your Saturday gathering, but I will need your address. Send me a PM or something. This is also entirely a maybe at this point, I'm currently up at Tahoe for a skiing trip and although we plan to be back by Friday night, anything can happen. Dacid probably got kicked out of Golfland for crawling up the 18th hole and shoving the ball in the hole when he thought no one was looking. That'll learn him. Ping Pong just doesn't feel the same after 4 years of tennis. I love tennis but I'm not big on ping pong.

Any news of a release date or preliminary sketches, anything?

New Soul Calibur game? Could be cool.

At least Litchi looks a lot more fun to play than CS1. If that means she's shit so be it. I'm okay with this. I might get an opportunity to drink Chun tears at the first CS2 tourney.

I'm gonna be booked for family get togethers until January 1st at least, so I won't see anyone until NCI in January. Also, I think this should be the official video of Norcal:

Probably not going to see anyone until next year, so to everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Except Qwerty, I know you jewish son. Go have a good one.

Was there a reason you guys chose Nicovideo over Livestream? I mean, the only real difference is that Nico required you to switch streams every 30 minutes.

Serves him right for being born in Louisiana and being full of shit.

And people wonder why I choose not to drink.

I assume you still mean Saturday, because you wrote your post in such a way that Sunday was implied.

Walk. In the Rain. It's like power leveling. Until you die.

You guys are all small time with your Type A and B configurations. Just drop what you are doing and play Type C with me (C is for Controller btw) Also, CS2 Litchi looks fun as fuck.

I don't claim to be a good Arcana Heart player, nor have I played 3, but I thought the whole idea behind Arcana Heart was to utilize the power of the various arcanas to cover for weaknesses you or your character might have, or at least to help augment your own playstyle. Are you telling me there are no good arcanas for Kira to assist her in fighting a strong zoning character?

Naw, just that the people that do play aren't good enough to beat the people that don't.

And now I need an antidote. Forever. Also, regarding Kira, she honestly never seemed that bad in AH3, just espeically bad against Schar. Dat clash into 360, so good.

I will play with you once I get it. I might not get it immediately though.

Anji-Mito. 3S kara into either 5S or 5H (usually 5S). I think the kara is in between frames 8-9 or something small like that. Let's you do weird combos like 5S>(3Sc)5S>(3Sc)5S>5H...., or 5S>5H>(3Sc)5S>5H, as well as providing a decent 5S gatling to a moves that like it but can't normally get them (2S, 5H). It also lets you do a 5S/5H with frame 5-9 low GP.

So, how does one practice 3S Kara when all I have to work with a laggy monitor? Is that worth practicing under those conditions?

Looks like a teenager's first attempts at learning Painter.
