Mekki-Maru

~1 hour from Pontiac, 80-120 minutes from anywhere we've had ranbats the last ~3 years.

Hey guys, so P4U is pretty awesome, but I'm too fucking poor to drive anywhere. If anyone's playing on PSN throw me an add @ 'denature'. Trying to get away from playing the same character in every game so I'm mostly concentrating on Yukiko.

Haha, thanks man. I didn't want to not talk to anyone, I just feel really awkward in a crowd like that. Ragna is the first character I learned some combos with in CT. Path of least resistance from there.

I spent a lot of time not socializing with anyone because I was feeling that hella social anxiety or something. I'm bringing booze next time.

That was mine. There was a controller plugged into it when I packed up around 9:00, but I left it on the table.

Pretty sweet blizzard. I'm going to try to start making it out to casuals. Pretty tired of 0-2.

Is this for sure happening on the 29th? http://shoryuken.com/f7/michigan-ranbats-s-5-garden-city-mi-biweekly-254586/index4.html#post10089643 :unsure:

I will continue to bring a PS2 stick even if I can't stay the whole time. :\ Might buy another one just for the fuck of it. Oh yeah, definitely bringing a memory card for you to hack next time ShardZ. So I can have Melty in my life. Never played it before, game is fucking hot. What's up with Crow and Dave anyway? You guys still playing SC?

Holy crap I didn't get last place at something.

You play a character with fucking 12k combos and you want to complain about things that are stupid.

Ragna isn't one of the best characters in the game. He has shitty mixup that's balanced by almost always having meter for rapid cancel shenanigans that actually allow him to get hits. His entire game is making you scared of THREE GOOD NORMALS so he can hit you with his stupid shit. For fuck's sake the Ragna subforum has a thread titled LET'S GET DUMB.TXT.

Everybody crying about Ragna's 5B. He has like 3 legitimately good normals. Deal with it.

Depends on what you mean by "faster." SF4 is faster than BB if you just look at how long it takes for a move to come out. 2f jabs and shit. Point is that people need to die in fewer seconds and watching Litchi combo someone for 20 seconds at a time is boring as fuck.

I liked that Haku who would sandbag until he got 8 magatama, then go for knockdown xx death combo. ASW should make Haku play like that.

Pretty much what whitevoid said. Unless it's a really good reset or oki setup, I always take the damage.
