Oh, jet will host friday? Alright then. You make a lot of good points. I was aware of many of them when I posted, but I posted anyway. I dunno. I realize that players in a scene can only get as good/be as serious as the scene can "Fuel". And really, I have nothing against meetups being rather "casual". I love rotating between games I actually know how to play(BB, AH3, eventually KOF) and games I just screw around with in various degrees of seriousness. But at the same time, while I really don't mind that sort of meetup, I still have a drive to try and get as good as I can with Litchi/Lilica(i am going to work on blockstrings with her tomorrow/thursday, fucking promise) even though I fucking refuse to play online(maybe that's my first mistake, but..) and even though we dont have enough players coming to meetups for me to get enough experience to really be a "good" Litchi in terms of fighting characters like Tao, Hazama, etc. I can't help but feel frustrated sometimes, and I want TBF to be more than it can be at this stage. Additionally, I can't drive to people and I know my time is going to be fucking choked once classes roll around, so I have limits beyond the scene. I dunno. Maybe I'll be in a good spot for that sort of thing when I move to Portland or Seattle in about 2 years. PNW has a really strong scene. I totally understand what you mean regarding rather doing other things than work on something that you only do a night a week. I dunno, I guess in some ways I just want more than we can really do right now, but I don't disagree with anything you said and really enjoy how we run it right now. This post is rather rambly and I dont know what else to do with it even though I feel like I have more things to say, so i'll just stop here.

So, with that said, who's up for grinding some BB/Arcana friday? My place, unless frigid/jet are up for hosting. I'm up for staying till like midnight. GRIND GRIND GRIND. Let's fucking grind. Frigid, I know you want grind some Lambda skills. Let's fucking do it. Also, since cookie can't go to TBF5 IIRC, who'd be up for taking me?

So, Texas Bar Fights 5, September 3rd. I know what some of you are thinking. BB will only have 6-14 people, why bother? Why not just do a normal meetup? I'll tell you why: Because this isnt only about Blazblue. This is about any game that has to work to get decent turnouts at tourneys and decent scenes. This is about Guilty Gear, Arcana, KOF, Melty, or whatever other non-Capcom game that struggles. If more people are interested in a game like BB or Arcana or whatever because of tourney attention, they're going to be more open and attentive to similar games. And people actually going to tournaments and being hype as fuck for games like this draws attention and legitimacy, period. I don't give a shit if the money isn't big. Tourneys aren't about that. Plus, I bet that there's going to be at least a few more people participating/interested due to EVO. If we want games like these to get decent turnouts outside of a few good majors, we have to work for it, especially when we're not on the west coast. This isn't something that just magically happens overnight, but we do our part. Additionally, I don't know about you guys, but I wanna challenge anyone who comes to tourneys and doesnt normally come to meetups. Nash, Pozerwolf, Woof, whatever. We all fucking want to win, and encourage these people to participate more and more and get hype going. Also, I know some of you want to go and participate in Marvel/SF4. I wouldn't mind watching some Jet in SF4/Pfhor in MVC/whatever. If we could, getting some casuals going for Arcana would be good, too. Securing blaz casual setups (Unlike last time?) would be good too. Hell, someone bring a ps2 setup for some GG casuals. (also, im not saying play bb even if you dont play bb, im just saying show up and play/hype up the games you love)

(if you dont get it you're not familiar with that one sunscreen/third strike)

so does anyone know how much it costs to get your stick ps2 modded or who could do it around here :1 i would like to get into GG and fuck with hokuto on stick

Thank you very much!! Yeah, i'm aware of how she probably has the most frames.

Is anyone working on the litchi hitboxes part of the hitbox project?

Thank you for uploading. Footage is rather watchable now from what I've seen.

Winback said that. He's known for terrible trolling. Dont get upset over him.

Chaos code came out 4 days ago. Day 1 footage wasnt worth watching because lol day 1. Footage from yesterday is much better though, game is looking quite good though I won't link any for another week or two...however, they found a really fjdslkjfds infinite in the corner(2a 2c dash cancel 2a 2c or something like that..since you can dash cancel if you choose dash instead of run) and that worries me a bit for multiple reasons, but I really hope it's just an exception and that the game has few infinites. Console release was already confirmed IIRC. also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVZsuLpdNqo#t=9m35s has like 11 minutes of awesome angel footage. that character owns so hard. i hope she ends up in the new kofs soon. want her great normals and pressureee i probably will, obviously, not that i can give you a ride

not my thread, but Actually, IIRC WC3 is quite big in china, so i bet that may explain it

like i said on srk:looks like they missed an instance where dash cancelling a normal leads to an infinite, at least in the corner i hope this is the only one or something as opposed to failing to test for obvious infinites across the board of course, if this is the only sort of infinite in, dashes could be banned and people would have to pick run, but that's less than ideal and we have no idea how far this extends also, maybe it'll get a billion revisions like melty and stop being silly, like guilty/melty :x also from srk: "Judging by how the video looks, I'd suspect it probably only works while Sith is in standby for one of her moves, since Cait seems to get different normals when he doesn't have her. There may be also something screwy with how he gets hit while Sith is on standby. Have to wait and see I guess."

who cares if they didnt use it in the tournament? are you seriously saying EX hula hoop isnt there anymore because of a tournament with people who do shit like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIjN7d94hLc#t=24m30s (LOL HOW DO I BLOCK) go watch old footage of whatever game you're good at. people do stupid shit that give you false impressions of a character and they dont know how to do full comboability because GUESS WHAT: DAY ONE. third strike is not a typical sf game. also, these parries actually have recovery, unlike 3rd strike. wat rolls are punishable, just like in kof. they're useful for getting out of pressure, yes, but in exchange pressure is probably really good, and rolls arent really much better than a dp, especially since dps will beat light attacks, and rolls will lose since the light attacks recover quick enough. "juggles are probably possible" i linked you several videos that showed them. do you seriously think they would just remove general juggeability even though they THEY SHOWED JUGGLES IN FOOTAGE? the footage that actually had people remotely competent at the game is more important than footage of day 1 scrubbery.

and gatlings/special cancels and jump cancels and parries and real combos and rolls and better movesets wat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIYIe4gib4s 1:02, 1:51, 2:05(had potential for a juggle after that one super but he didnt really use it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dw_ROd4VPM 0:50, 2:16, 2:32, anddd you get the point. :P i love how cthylla's setups can interrupt combos and blockstrings :3 also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viFfsGqRFhI 0:22 in this has a nice cthylla combo with 1/2 bar and her morrigandash :D

Nice meetup! Glad to see a nice 9-12ish person meetup. Fun stuff. SHOUTOUTS TO CLASHING THAT UNBLOCKABLE RESET IN ARCANA SHOUTOUTS TO LITCHI MIRRORS SHOUTOUTS TO FIGHTING FRIGID'S LAMBDA AGAIN SHOUTOUTS TO THE CHURCH OF LOW STRONG (oh sfa2 rose) SHOUTOUTS TO SFA2 BEING SO FUN, WHAT THE FUCK SHOUTOUTS TO ANGEL'S FAR C. THAT FUCKING GODLY ELBOW SHOUTOUTS TO LI XIANGFEI'S EVERYTHING SHOUTOUTS TO PLAYING LIKE 5 GAMES AT THE MEETUP(ah3, bb, sfa2, kof2002um, sf4 and a little rumble fish and melty) i should have played hokuto though :| SHOUTOUTS TO CC "UNBLOCKABLES" IN SFA2 SHOUTOUTS TO SOUTHER'S INSTANT KILL SHOUTOUTS TO COOL NEW PEOPLE LIKE QPUNCH AND KOHATSU Good stuff. Hope to see you guys next friday!

in before a character is recognized as top tier and the character gets hated on even if they are fun and interesting Also, this game doesnt have airblocking, does it?

by the way, chaos code hit arcades. however, footage so far hasnt been significant due to lol day 1 players. ill definitely start linking stuff in a week. also: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/evo-2012-lineup-aka-what-will-be-the-biggest-games-a-year-from-now.142843/page-2#post-5671113 this talks a bit about kof13's console netcode. It's generally considered polite to refer to tg people that way, even if pre-op.

While this is definitely true for some players, there are many people who do not play fighters competitively because they do not appreciate it beyond a superficial level. If they suddenly see something in "hardcore" playing, then they may want to change how they approach a fighter/fighters. Of course you can't force them, but there are certainly ways to generate interest.

WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED SUPAA LITCHI MIRRORS!!! very excite for kof2002um and ah3 too, ive had plenty of bb with zreb last two weeks while i was in fort worth

lmao @ cthylla player being hit several times in the corner withotu being combo'd. advanced blocking i think i'll wait about a week before i really pay attention to footage. :P still, very glad it's out!!

Friday sounds exciting as fuck. Jet, any idea if the denton crew is coming?

So..are videos actually going to come of this?

Do we know who beat daigo in MVC3? or who got to remove justin in bb, lmao

Huh? The meetup is friday at jet's.
