lol seriously? Looks pretty immature if real

It's real, just happened lol. More lengthy version - http://pastebin.com/BguAhb8X

Also related, pandering time. Not sure if it was posted yet, but Lord Knight is up for this vote to compete in a God's Garden tournament and the winner is being chosen by fan votes. If you have a second, mind voting?

Just click the left button in column 12 LordKnightBB. You can click it 5 times a day. Get Amerikkkan representation! I know how much you guys love spamming USA and flag images when America does well in something.

That maturity level.
 
It always seems the opposite to me. Especially since race and gender are daily topics in the OT. There's almost always one person who blows his lid and gets banned.

I never really think of those as danger topics, even though I know people get banned in them. It just seems silly to me that it ever happens at all.

you play marvel? lets play if you are on 360! i've never beaten a mod before. i think kagari might of bought vanilla but i don't remember her ever being involved in the community.

'fraid not. I played some of Vanilla when a friend of mine had it, but I have not been in contact with him since.

Though I will gladly forfeit the hypothetical game to you, because I am singularly awful at fighting games. I enjoy them as a spectator, but I'm the sort of guy who consistently fails to link Chun's SAII after crouching mk. My reaction and input ability are dreadful and I just don't have the patience or inclination to try to improve my baseline ability.

I actually took a bit of time and started practicing for real with Persona. You'd be surprised how much you can improve in like 4-5 days of playing a bit each day if you take it seriously.
 
It would be interesting to see of these "capcom people" really do pick up TTT2 but I somehow doubt it. I give em 3 weeks max before they call the game ass and drop it.

I can see it being picked up by a lot of people as the next big game. The stuff that capcom's rumoured to have on the horizon doesn't look like it'll be anywhere near as popular. People are gonna stick with sf4 and marvel but the ones who are looking for something new, will go to TTT2 imo.
 
Sanford as well. He played Nina back in T4 IRRC.

Ricky O has tekken background too. Can't remember who he played but they were playing Tekken Tag at FGTV a few months back and you can tell played Tekken back in the day.

I remember watching that. Ricky was probably playing Patrick aka Naoki, a very good Tekken player from norcal. Ricky played T6 too running dat Jack but I guess he stopped to focus on SFIV.
 
Lol I went to twitch to watch some FGC tourneys but ended up watching a Kingdom Hearts 2 stream. (must be in that KH mode.)
Lol this dude is getting raped by Sephiroth.
 
That team is not competitive unfortunately. Vergil and Dorm have no real neutral assist to work with. Plus it's just better to do Spiral Swords loop (in that combo if he had done 3 SS instead of the DHC he would've killed anyway). This is a training room combo IMO.
I have really rocked people with Rapid Slash as my primary assist. I've also done well with Dark Hole as my only supporting assist for Vergil. I basically use it like I once did with Sentinel. A combination of these four things:
1) Stinger, Dark Hole, teleport mix-up.
2) Dark Hole, Stinger; Dark Hole appears right on top of Vergil to cover him if it whiffs.
3) Dark Hole, dash forward s.S; Dark Hole appears on top of Vergil to cover him.
4) Dark Hole + Judgment Cut to cover most of the screen to get Round Trip out there safely.

I won't say it's the best assist in the world, but I think Vergil can be used a lot like Nemesis or Sentinel, where your assists are more about covering your blind spots than anything else, because his normals are so massive.
