I can't wait to see everyone Friday! HYPE HYPE HYPE! Final round HYPE!

Xrd works fine, it's the borrowed copy of UNIEL that doesn't work, even though I thought PS3 was region free.

It just doesn't even show the disc inside my PS3. No error message or anything.

So UNIEL will not run on my PS3 for some reason. Sigh...

Well, with the release of Xrd, and a bunch of other games this past year, I'm starting a new Stomping Grounds thread. Post up in here if you're in Kentucky. Give me the following info, and we'll use myself as example: Name: John Handle: TheSlyMoogle Characters: Xrd - Ky ; ACR - Anji PSN: theslymoogle Location: Mount Sterling, KY Just give that info up and I'll add it to this post. Happy Gaming friends. Name: Nick Handle: Yasha Characters: Xrd - Ky Sin ; ACR - Ky ; Blazblue- Hazama PSN: yashanyu1 Location: Lexington, KY

Those are all good points, but I doubt Arcsys has the money to throw at stuff like other companies. Honestly a nice gesture would have been to invite the guilty gear community to come to an event and have tournaments and stream it. Blow it up on streams, get websites to post up about it, get that hype out there. It doesn't have to be on such a large scale. I honestly got into this game because I saw a small add for it on a website back in 2004 and went "Oh wow, this looks like an anime, I want to play it" I already had a love for fighting games, and that one anime looking add did it. If I could have seen good footage of the game back then it wouldn't have taken me so long to actually get seriously into it. However at one point it was one of, if not the biggest fighting game in the scene for a couple of years. Around the days of slash and AC releasing. We had a final round after AC dropped with over 150 entrants to GG and this was when we still had to import that damn game and use some sort of PS2 hacks to play it. The game hit a street fighter style lull in new versions. I think there are enough people who loved GG who will play Xrd. I mean 6 years without a new version got boring. My character isn't even in Xrd and I'm excited enough about it that I will probably take the time to travel to tournaments for it again. I'm OG and I'm all hyped up for it.

We got our start in Morehead. Most of us have moved on though. What games are you playing? I still live in the lexington Area so it's not too far from Morehead. I pretty much only play guilty gear though.

As far as I know they're not posted anywhere yet.

It's generally best to just guard low after KD against faust anyway. His overhead shenanigans are generally not that great against Anji, and his best bet is to use 2k after KD and try for a mixup from that. You have better options than trying to autoguard with 3s or 3k if you just guard and prepare yourself for what's next.

Well when +R hits PSN I'll be down to play. Just figure out what character you want to learn.

Kinda far away, and I definitely don't play any BB anymore. If you ever want to learn GG, that trip would be worth it for you.

This. However if you do it fast enough 6236H will also work as well as 2366H. 2366H is by far the easiest in my opinion though.

Where do you live?

At what point did I tell the guy to spend all of his time practicing this combo? I just said practice it if he liked the combo. So let me correct my statement: Learn the basics of the game. They're deep and amazing. The options in this game are outstanding and knowing how to utilize them will improve your over all game tremendously. Learn how to use your character. Know the ins and outs of your character completely. Learn your basic BnB combos, learn them hard. Learn all the specific things your character can do. This adds an extra level to your game. Learn all the advanced character stuff that's still competitively viable. For example, Anji has a combo that requires you to run for a few frames before you fuujin. It's necessary to complete some BnBs. It's advanced, but you should learn it, because it's important to some of your match ups. Last, learn all the advanced, high damage, situational bullshit you want. If you think it's awesome, learn how to do it, and practice doing it. It's better to hear "Wow man, I can't believe you just did that" than to be saying "Yeah, I tried to do this combo, but I haven't practiced it too often, would have been awesome there though." For the record, he didn't ask "Is this practical" he asked "How can I train this combo" I'm not trying to argue that you shouldn't be practicing all the other things, that is correct. However, Awesome combos are awesome, and being able to do them, is awesome. I've lived in that world, a lot.

Hmm, honestly don't crush the guy's dreams. I've watched a lot of ACR+ videos since my last post and they're doing a lot of IAD after ON combos. A lot of corner setup stuff too with them. Seems fine to me now. Don't crush someone's dreams because you don't deem it competitive/can't do it. The strongest competitive players are those who understand the character, the situation, the combos they can do from said situation, and the ability to execute said combos. If he wants to practice his heart out on those things, whose to judge?
