lmao yes and yet capcom fanboys dismiss games purely based on netcode as if capcom netcode was good enough

except the EU version probably wont work on your 360 anyway both situations are doubtful, dude. I'll contact a few people who don't usually check the thread. Also, zreb and Oso expressed interest. Oso could probably go with you. If there's nobody else to take, I guess zreb(who comes from fort worth) could park at your place and then get in the same car...alternatively, I guess zreb could take people?

you said the EU version being region free was the only way you'd be able to play so..that's not what you just said. :P

again, there's also rumors of a 360 US release. ESRB and a few other sites have listed the AH3 US release as also being on 360, and apparently aksys has a reputation for going "no 360 version" and then "LOL JK"

From frigid: "Yeah, planned on hosting this weekend. I would go to Tulsa if someone else is driving. Probably will make a post with my new address tomorrow when I have some form of internet." So, meetup saturday probably, probably 3pm to end like usual. Still waiting on responses regarding interest in the Tulsa tourney. Hm..tulsa is on the opposite side of oklahoma though. That's 5-6 hours away, isnt it?

http://mizuumi.net/2011/03/20/a-starter%E2%80%99s-guide-to-arcana-heart-3-part-2/ relinking this for anyone just skimming the latest page For me...I guess Halo(great for pressure and getting in and also unblockable with charged E), Wind(mobility, jump cancelable E, boomerang special, quickfall mixup), and Magnetism(lol magnetism projectile, the 4D, EF and super pull can be good too), but if I went beyond 3 i'd also say Love(antizone and helps you get in, also float), Tyr(efc all day), and flower.(what cookie said) I should mess with time(pringles, absurd 35% speed boost in EFC) and plant(vine special is super good, also this arcana lets you set up unblockables) more, those are popular and strong. http://arcana.mizuumi.net/wiki/FAQ#There_are_just_as_many_Arcana_as_there_are_characters..._I_don.27t_know_what.27s_good this could help too Also, cookie and I aren't the only current AH3 players, though I guess we're the main people who post in this thread. Boombox, Pfhor, Oldboy, Horror, and maybe Supaa and Ein are the other main dudes i suppose. Pfhor mainly runs love IIRC. I forget what boombox runs.

http://mizuumi.net/2011/03/20/a-starter%E2%80%99s-guide-to-arcana-heart-3-part-2/ Good guide. Relevant to Transient and Oso right now, I think. zsdf it was posted on the last page you have no object permanence OSOOOOOO :p

Dunno how fantastic, but probably a good start. (Also, remember that EFC speeds you up, enabling new links etc...and when you homing cancel for combos on the ground, use 6D, not 5d or whatever else.) (also, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCZv5C9BW7A ) BTW did you get my PMs?

Nice. I can't do shit this weekend, but tomorrow ill contact people and see if some are up for going this weekend. aww, sorry. I like playing nazuna thooo

good meetup. but another small one. wtf @ spring break meetups being small. just had me, cookie, oso, and bishop. ended a little early. mostly arcana heart 3, did some BB after oso and bishop left, oso and bishop started with messing with the mortal kombat 9 demo and then switched to messing with ah3. SHOUTOUTS TO BACK TO BACK THROWS SHOUTOUTS TO HOLY ARCANA AGAIN SHOUTOUTS TO LITCHI'S 6B SHOUTOUTS TO PUNISHING PETRA'S WALLSHOT WITH NAZUNA'S SUPER, AMONG OTHER THINGS SHOUTOUTS TO MU VS LITCHI SHOUTOUTS TO LILICA'S MIXUP SHOUTOUTS TO BANG'S BUMPER + MAGNETISM, WHAT A WILD RIDE SHOUTOUTS TO PETRA'S EVADE SHOUTOUTS TO SEXY SWEEP->EFC COMBOS, i am getting better at applying my arcana combosss there were a lot of instances where i should have done 2c 236a 5a 5b though when in EF SHOUTOUTS TO RYU-STYLE J.B CROSSUPS, DAT KNEE or whatever, fucking hitboxes SHOUTOUTS TO OSO GETTING HYPE FOR ARCANA SHOUTOUTS TO GUARD CANCEL CLASH BATTLES E'RY DAY SHOUTOUTS TO EARTH'S AUTOGUARD AND HYPER ARMOR that shit is better than i thought shoutouts to only playing cookie the entire time SHOUTOUTS TO LITCHI'S AUTOGUARD SHOUTOUTS TO GETTING GUARD CRUSHED SHOUTOUTS TO NAZUNA'S HUGE RANGE AND MANY SPECIAL CANCEL OPTIONS <3 SHOUTOUTS TO OSO RUNNIN DOROTHY WITH THE CARD TRAPS SHOUTOUTS TO "TIGER- TIGER- TIGER" SHOUTOUTS TO AIR UNBLOCKABLES IN ARCANA SHOUTOUTS TO DOING LITCHI'S 2C TOO LATE SHOUTOUTS TO NAZUNA WITH WATER'S COMMAND GRAB SHOUTOUTS TO TONS OF SHIT BEING + FRAMES IN AH3, GUARD CANCEL ALL DAY SHOUTOUTS TO HOLY'S EFC 623E SHOUTOUTS TO PETRA'S OVERHEAD AND CROSSUPS SHOUTOUTS TO TYR'S GREAT 623E i should've done some nazuna+metal. ah well. and more nazuna+sin went pretty even in lilica vs petra, but cookie was doing much better than before in petra vs nazuna, he mostly won. good shit even though it was a small meetup. got good arcana exp in. getting better at neutral game, pressure, hit confirming, etc. nazuna is a fun sub. litchi vs mu was fun too. wish oldboy or ronin came so we could do kof2002 :|

no zreb saturday, his thailand-colonizing sister came home with strep i just hope cookie and oldboy come so much for big spring break meetups, aaaa oh well, as glorious as huge meetups are, a small meetup with plenty of arcana or blaz or kof is all i need

ballin, i should use arcana blazes more i figured out some more stuff on ah3 last night. that game is so fucking godlike. hopefully it will get a US 360 release so ronin and oso can fully feel its glory. also, tyr's 623E is definitely + frames on block. i suspect it's pretty great for pressure strings, too, because not only is it + frames, but the sword of the attack is really far forward, so it would be a pretty good choice against people looking for reversal openings probably, and might stuff 4ds and stuff if you stagger it a bit. you should test that some. kamui+tyr? Daww..well, hopefully your homework will lighten up by then. But yeah, the venue fee is pretty steep and I think will lower attendance a bit, but I'm still definitely going. hopefully fucking cs2 will be out by then And yay! Dude, heart has some really cool juggles. Also, her 6b overhead is already 20 frames. Normal efc=17 frames, time efc=13 frames. Sugoi mixup~ the frame data for ah3 hasn't updated much though

people are not responding to texts and things CONFIRMED: Mightfo Cookie Probably: zreb Hopefully: Ronin Maybe: Johnny Frigid(Briefly) Boombox("I'll let you know by friday") Oso(same as boombox) Unlikely: Dunno yet: No: Supaa, reversetrap Danni Jet,Rave(assuming) No response yet: Advil(+friends?), Transient(+friend), 5ish denton heads(oldboy, pfhor, 2-3 otehrs), tomato, Dances, Cheebz, Dax, Aloha so much for heavy spring break meetups. ah well, at least ill get some nice arcana matches with cookie

I was really not impressed with the normals or specials in this or the game in general. Maybe i'm missing something. :1 Maybe those "Target combos" that you can even do on whiff add a lot, dunno. I feel like there's not much reason to play this over other non-airdashers, but I'm really not familiar with MK, so...

also ronin you didnt respond to http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?9422-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Thread&p=966991&viewfull=1#post966991

lmao yeah physically it makes so sense but 1)it was such a cool move 2)it was such a convenient overhead because it was fast and could come at any time and then lead into MORE pressure and because of #2 it was good to use a lot, and who doesn't love when fucking cool moves are used a lot also being an air unblockable is not as special in cs2 hopefully it's still good for transitioning into wolf pressure. maybe it's faster, too. that would be an interesting move if it was much faster..no longer limited by being an overhead. i havent watched much cs2 valk though so someone else would have to confirm if it even looks any faster, untranslated frame data aside

MORE FRAME DATA CHANGE SUMMARIESSS BANG: 5a- startup increased from 5 to 6, but it recovers 3 frames faster, even on block now 5b-10 frame startup like we knew..frame data says its -2 on block now, but the increase in attack level and decrease in recovery should make it +2 like we thought it was..typo? 5d-19 frame startup instead of 24..but -15 on block? jesus fuck. autoguard is 3-11 instead of 3-15 2b-says it's -6 on block instead of -3, but the attack level and recovery are the same..strange 2c- -4 instead of -2. 6a- 17 frame startup instead of 22 but this isnt really useful outside of being able to do 5c 6a 2c and i guess not getting 5b IB'd 6b is -1 instead of -3 6d is 24 frame startup instead of 30, but -9 on block instead of -4. however, it's also 1-14 autoguard instead of 1-11 2d is -8 on block instead of -5 but is jcable. autoguard is 7-23 instead of 4-27 ground phoenix crash is -7 on block now, more recovery as a combo nerf even though that move has always been shit in neutral. d moves are special cancellable into this now, but obviously still poop to go into d nails are +6 instead of +8. unsure about this, it looked a lot worse in videos tl;dr i'm not playing bang in cs2 because unless his autoguards really end up viable/reliable in many matchups(or frkz/bumper pringles ends up enjoyable/reliable enough) he'll be even more dependent on 5a, lol worse on block 2c and ground phoenix make me a sad dad. dear arcsys make these legit choices in neutral some day so bang's neutral game isnt piss fucking boring. but we'll see. maybe drive centric bang is actually quite good and interesting. HELLOOO LITCHI you got even sexier in cs2 :3 TSUBAKI -lots of her followups like 5bb have tons(like, 7-10 frames less) less recovery -2a is +2 -6a is still fucking 26 frames -5c has an attack level increase, probably great for CCs. 6a and 6b got one too -6b is 21 instead of 25 frames and is +1 on block -3c recovers 2 frames faster, still meh tho -dunno if her 2d is still pissquick for charge cancelling rest is about specials and a few things confuse me so im not going to try to tackle those, sadly other random notes: ragna: ragna's 5d's second hit seems to be listed as an attack level higher, 5 instead of 4..so maybe dash cancel is more legit now. dash cancel column does not verify this ragna 2d is only -4 on block now instead of -18 thank fucking everything, much better recovery ragna 6a is slightly quicker startup and recovery but lost 3 frames of head invuln 6c is slower, sad life 6d is 4 frames faster valk 6c is only +2 now, ah well does not look like valk overhead punch is + frames even though they took away its overhead property. oh well, i guess its nice for transitioning into wolf form when you need to move forward a bit and want more blockstun than 236a no more + frame 236a. no more baby blockstrings for valk noel 2c is+3 on block now her 5d is 3-15 invuln and 27 frame startup isntead of 5-19 and 24 frame optic barrel A is 22 frame startup(!!) but -3 on block now. still, fairly reliable way to end drive pressure safely

Daww! Well, enjoy SXSW at least. I won't be able to go to a meetup next week though. :/ But yes, you and I need to play Arcana. I love that game. My lilica is getting cleaner and Nazuna is a fun sub. More litchi mirrors too. I'll try to host a friday meetup when I can, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_pCeiTiLSE also i wonder if they just made the startup of 6c really really ambiguous like hakumen doesnt move at all or something, thus it looks faster because the total animation where he's doing something is less mu: (basing this off the cs1 frame data gathered manually which we can assume is accurate if they did this with the right methods http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?9680-%B5-12-Guide-Version-1.0&p=714276&viewfull=1#post714276 ) -5c is 12 frame startup instead of 14, and only -4 on block instead of -9 2c is -13 instead of -20 and is 14 frame startup instead of 16 2b is 8 frame startup instead of 10 3c is -10 on block instead of -16(yayyy more recovery bufffsss) 6b is -1 instead of -3 anddd i think 236a is 8 frames faster startup (pretty sure that's what it's listing, judging by multihit and air version noted)

here you go frigid mspaint atrocity number 4

not sure what i want to do with frigid's mspaint wesker avatar..

oh my fucking delicious litchi bbcs2 changes besides comboability/6a nerfs: 6b[m] is only -3 on block onw instead of -7 jsdkfjsfdjk jjizzzzz 6c[m] is -1 now (!!!) instead of -13, + huge pushback 4d is only -4 though no longer cancellable. if done at max range(end of active frames) it'd be +5 i suppose though obviously easier to block/hit j2d is +19 instead of +5 5b[e] is 8 frame startup instead of 9 her staff rekka followups are +20/+18/+16 if the automatic followup doesnt miss. fucking incredible. cant special cancel into them anymore tho ..and yet they made 6c[e], a shitty slow overhead worse than lamda's 4b, have an even bigger gap between the strikes. 25 frame gap instead of 15. what. combo nerf i guess

playing kof2002um offline is lag free ;p or playing kof2002 on ggpo/supercade do you want me to text people to see if there's still interest/availability for a trip starting friday or something or..?

There's rumors of it being also on 360 despite what aksys has said(aksys has apparently pulled a "not coming to xbl LOL JK" thing several times) as multiple sites/the ESRB have it marked for US 360. But nothing truly solid.. you play jojo's and such even though those aren't getting new vesions ;P you could play the arcade version of vanilla kof2002... i have not heard of any updates on ronin's plans for this so i assume not

also i am getting much cleaner at lilica and nazuna is a joy and again i hope oldboy likes kof2002um and then maybe ronin will play too and then maybe frigid/oso ;o i have been enjoying playing that online with a friend whom i have a good connection with

ah3 is amazing that is all
