I think that 12 pm may actually be a little tough for some people, since they have to commute and also get lunch somewhere. It might be easier if you gave a wider general registration window of like, 11-2 or something for all games, with all tourneys starting at 2:30. Last time it ran until near midnight only because the tourneys started at 4, partly because all of the registrations were staggered at different time slots.

MNE appears to be stuck in #R Ky mode. I'm guessing that was the last time he took GGXX seriously. He played like a gimmicky version of Buppa back then. That's always a legit plan for Ky.

It's moments like these that make me wonder why I bother to play this game What about imaginary points? I want my i point for MBAA

Lol wut. At least troll people while you're there. :psyduck: I'll think about it; I won't be free to leave until 9ish and it's almost a one hour drive for me :/

I guess it's qwerty's at 5:30 then.

I can't seem to reach Qwerty. Let me know if he's there or not. If not, then I'll host....but all I have is one HDTV and a laggy LCD monitor. If nobody brings any setups then we'll just end up watching Alabama play football.

Qwerty, why don't you host for now, and if too many people show up, we can move over to my place with whatever setups you have. Otherwise, people will just show up to my place with no setups and we'll end up playing speed chess while watching college football instead.

Sure, I'm game. I wouldn't mind hosting either, if I wasn't cursed with zero setups and shitty board games.

How about we abandon all the games altogether and only play CvS2 instead. Even though all of you suck miserably at the game. Especially Danny.

CvS2 ranbat would be really fun. Danny and those random people that showed up would also play I think. I could also invite some fellow old people to come play too.

I don't mind tutoring people in the fine art of trolling in any fighting game.

If you bring a dreamcast, then I'll bring CvS1 :o

We could also have ranbats for games that are older than anyone on Dustloop. If anyone has a working Atari 2600, I have a working copy of this game

I nominate this for NCI

Ky with 8 frame FRCs would be fucking amazing. I approve of this.

I is teh salt king. Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. Although by the time they decided not to go, I wasn't really too upset as my chances of going probably would've only been 25%, mostly because I would have had to reschedule some things, sink money for a ticket, and learn how to play on Japanese sticks. Hah, you were there? I got 4th playing red Ky. The losers quarter finals ended up being Ky vs. Ky, which caused everyone to go away out of boredom.

SVGL never had anything beyond XX. I don't know about NCR1, but they certainly had GGXX for NCR2. I played in NCR2 and came within a hair of being part of the US SBO team. AND THEN THE PEOPLE WHO QUALIFIED DECIDED NOT TO GO AND DIDN'T ASK IF I WANTED TO GO OR NOT :mad::mad::mad: I'm down with that. CvS2 is also fine

This is REAL MAN'S CVS2.

FWIW, going to law school because you like to argue, or because you believe that's what most lawyers actually do, is actually a very very bad idea.

I'm inclined to agree actually. With that scheme, I'll enter BB for lulz, even though I've never played it before.

That's pretty much correct, except Eddie is second, not 4th, Sol should be moved to top of middle tier, and Ky/Jam/Testament should be moved to top of bottom. The bottom tier suffered from being 3-7 or worse against like, half the cast.

The Ky thread in the Axl matchup forum is a pretty good start. For general tips, I wouldn't really add all that much to it other than: - Try not to jump, unless it's either an IAD to punish a whiff recovery or you're coming in at an odd angle. - Manage your tension well so that you have 25% on you at all times if possible. - Dash break into IB a lot. - Your useful stuff in order: 5s, 6p, 2s, 2p, SE/Air SE, j.d, force break j.d. - Axl matches can be broken down into three game states: the 3/4-full screen away neutral game, Ky on offense in Axl's face, Ky on defense with Axl in Ky's face. Avoid being on defense, but if you are play it safe. If you're on offense, go for an all out blitz. In the neutral game, try to make Axl get counterhit and floating in the air into knockdown by zoning out with SE, j.d and 6p to start your offense. I'm kinda too lazy to actually do a full writeup atm, but I'll answer specific questions if you have any.

I think this guy needs to play PhaethonH for the lulz. Unfortunately, NorCal is full of lolicons, so...pretty much half of Nor-Cal plays May and the other half has to put up with that bullshit. Sad but true.

RC elec actually has startup so you can throw them if they try to dash RC elec or they mistime the RC on your getup. Alternatively, you can also walk backwards to let RC elec whiff, then walk up and throw on their recovery.

That SJSU room looks amazing. The venue fee is a great idea also. TaoFTW, you should actually finish adding the donate section on the nci website so people can, ya know, donate....
