DC

I nominate feux_follets or whatever his name is on Dustloop for placing first at CEO major... his first tournament ever.

Good luck getting out of your pool.

Yeah I figured if anyone is tryna get a room together I'd ask here. I'm gonna see if anyone from FL wants to go after CEO.

Sooo, let's say I flew out from Florida. Are there any housing options aside from the $95 hotel? Just thinking about it.

Did somebody say liquor? There will be a team tournament on Friday night. $1 or $5, we're not sure yet. 2v2 or 3v3... we're not sure of that either.

lol who loses to Noel?

Alright guys, team tournament on Friday night? $1 or $5? 2v2 or 3v3? Also are we going dinner or Friday or Saturday night? I say Saturday because Friday night I'd like to be playing casuals instead lol

@Skane... you're not coming to CEO. @Brandon... shut up, you are Mystical Moose forever. @Garret... at CEO de Mayo the tourney guy asked Brandon what his tag was, I said Mystical Moose and he wasn't allowed to change it lol. Now he's Mystical Moose forever. @Jyosua... yes.

I would just bring the chick with me and bang her in the hotel room. Just sayin.

The Florida BB anthem

Everyone from south Florida is going except Skane apparently.

He actually just recently informed me that Adonis is paying for him and he will be repaying him once his welfare check comes in. Also, here's a bit of SFL terminology for you guys: The Skane Special: Mashing super while in hitstun, blockstun, waking up, on the pause screen, or anywhere that it will come out on the first available frame. The DC Special: Using invincibility (not a super) to go through an opponent's attack. The Theo Special: Dropping a standing combo midcombo to do an overhead. The Alain Special: Dropping (or blue-beating) a combo during easymode. (mainly applies to Blood Kain, but can also apply to FRKZ, Mugen, etc.)

DC'S FINAL PRACTICE BEFORE CEO 2012 SATURDAY 6/9/12 @ ZERO PING FEATURING SOUTH FLORIDA'S FINEST... DC aka "BENJAMIN SHANKLIN": South Florida's self-proclaimed godlike Noel player that has yet to enter EX's training mode. Or buy EX. Or buy a console. "I get my matchup EXP from looking at Noel doujins." THEO DAVIS aka "STEVE MURKLE": Undeniably Florida's best and smartest all-around player, Theo will not be attending CEO because they don't accept food stamps for the badge fee. "I'm black y'all, and I'm black y'all, and I'm blackety black and I'm black y'all." ALAIN MARCELLUS aka "ELVIS FRESHLY": Hiding under the guise of playing "manly" characters, this shoto-loving Ragna player still can't justify why his j.C got a bigger hitbox in EX. But he ain't complainin'! "Nigga I'll bust a nut in a hoagie and create a new sub-species." TONY LOUIS aka "SCARY COLEMAN": South Florida's very own Valkenhayn enthusiast that has significantly more control over his salt levels than a very particular Tampa Valkenhayn player... "Watchu talkin' bout niglet?" BRANDON JOSEPH aka "OJ PIMPSON": Once a force to be reckoned with in Calamity Trigger (v-13), turned into South Florida's running joke (CS1 and CS2), has resurfaced from the shit rock he was under to somehow regularly beat Alain's top tier Ragna with booty ass Makoto. "I smashed that chick and forgot to call her, after I nut I get attention deficit disorder..." GARRET JOSEPH aka "TRILL COSBY": Still technically South Florida's newest player on the scene, Garret's seemingly biggest weakness is his execution of the hardest combo of them all... down-back. "You guys are so silly!" With possible guest appearances by... Skane (That other Bang player who either mashes or can input Ashura in 1 frame) ??? (That other Tsubaki player that can at least block sometimes) DWB (That other Noel player who only knows the Noel matchup.) Get. Fucking. Hype.

Because I sincerely wanted a reason to care about BB again, hell I think Mystic and 2link can attest that I pretty much singlehandedly revived BB in south Florida. But nobody seems to really care anymore. I'm sure we'll end up with more entrants for BB at CEO, but there's no reason we should end up with less than last year, and that's how it's looking at this point. And 2link I do retire every Saturday, I just keep coming back like Jay-Z. EDIT: And you know what? You'd retire too if you had to play Theo's Bang SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT.

36 people last year. Btw this is why I didn't bother buying EX or taking it seriously. It's a bad game, and on top of that? Nobody plays it. I'll see you guys in P4U.

It's cool, I live in South Florida, that shouldn't be too far from the university of South Florida right?

You should be able to tell whether or not your 2D is gonna clear Deadspike.

Somebody give me a ride to SUS.

I approve. Also, where the hell is this Skype group?

IMO 2A is your poke of choice in this matchup (well then again I think 2A is Noel's poke of choice in most matchups) I've been playing my local Ragna player since CT so we know a lot about each other but I think generally you want Ragna to approach you rather than the other way around. Don't get caught by some Deadspike bullshit blockstring in the corner. Well timed 2D beats it, but my favorite thing to do is wait for the start up of another one and TK air super with my back against the wall. Instant block is your friend, but like most characters I think Noel generally relies on conditioning your opponent to do certain things. Jumping in on Ragna is a losing battle, until you start empty jumping with j.D. That's probably my biggest gripe about Noel, but I digress.

No information on this matchup at all? I have a pretty decent local Bang player. Noel's booty anti-airs makes matchups against all airborne characters (Bang, Tao, Valk) pretty hard imo. Bang having two airdashes doesn't make it any easier. Whiffing 6A (why are you using this at all...) or 4D is super dangerous since Bang gets such easy pickups. Be wary of mashing AA if you see him dashing towards you, good Bang players will not get AA'd by Noel, of all characters.

Yeah you have to space it though, I've gotten hit out of it once. Either that or everyone has realized that Noel is not good.

4D > wake up tsubame. Thank you based projectile invincibility. Why is this thread so dead.

I was really hoping someone would catch that Railgun reference.
