Skullgirls is so much fun

#thisgameneedstolive

or just keep it in mind for when everyone quits Marvel after Evo.

Skullgirls won't die- the PC port will make sure of that. AE wil live as well if the PC port gets the update, and GFWL isn't shut down.

Got a feeling PC is going to end up important for fighters next-gen, provided there's a way to keep macros out (not really a problem for SG though due to how it's designed- AE has a huge problem)
 
Justin has already bodied Japan. Never forget.

Justin "Just give me 8th so I don't have to play" Wong

What else is he supposed to do? Put work into a viable team beyond what he worked out on day one or learn matchups?

The least they can do to help seeds is let them play against the same people they body every week.
 
I still can't believe Wong is still using this day one team, same ol' shit. Dude is skating by on pure Marvel JWong factor...which is enough for Top 8 and prize money, so eh. I wonder if he ever gives a damn when he inevitably loses to ChrisG/Smed(whoever makes it out of that pool)

Winners: GAF | Smedwicks
Losers: AGE NYChrisG

Let's fucking go

I'll beat Justin Wong in Top 8 too

GAF Supremacy.
 
I've never had so much fun in a fighting game before GG, it's unreal! Something about the speed and Let's Rocking, I swear. Anyone getting "ready" for evo? I already got a battle station with snacks and a mini table that I can flip
GGAC is definitely my favourite FG of all time for pretty much all the things Solar stated. The wait for +R is killer though. If you ever want to play some matches and you're on ps3 send me an invite. PSN: JouleJoule

Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
Strained a muscle in my right arm two weeks ago, so I was taking a little break from the stick. Yesterday it was finally getting better, today was quite okay, and tonight after playing an hour of P4A because "fuck it, been a while!" it's back in full force.

Back to watching those Liz matches from the latest Urban Square... Thanks Joule for those videos, by the way!

Just spreading the word. I also hadn't seen much P4A in awhile either. Good to hear your arm is doing better too!

Acho uploaded a long set of casuals for BBCP:

Being as long as it is I haven't gone through it all but the first hour and half is a Litchi accumulating 20+ wins! Not sure who this 15 dan Litchi is but maybe Q can identify. Otherwise there's play from Jin, Bang, Makoto, Relius and some Izayoi at the tail end.

Lastly, Cross Counter featuring Tastysteve and Genesis released a new Guilty Gear Accent Core tutorial, this time talking about Impossible Dusts and Jump Installs.

Maybe after I figure out how to not be so bad :y

GG is an amazing game because it's super easy to get into at low levels, it's fast as fuck, has awesome music, and the game just gets deeper and deeper the more you play it.

Anyone that says GG is harder to get into than BB is most likely a stupid fanboy. It's seriously one of the strongest things about the game is how easy it is to pick up and play if you have any sense of fighting game basics. Fuck I would say P4A is harder to get into than GG

Are you west coast or east coast? If you are west I'll play and give some advice if you want.
 
Let's see it happen in a game.

Im sure Seth can pull it off if anyone can. The problem with SFxTK is hardly anyone stateside plays it seriously. The game is pretty deep with lots of great characters. Do we see any of that shit when its on stream? lol no

There's actually a few variations. >_>

But you're more likely to get killed before you get it started against folks that know their stuff anyway.

Sucks to be east coast
 
Well, that's 4 characters no one knows how to play against in SFxT. :-P (Law the exception.)

Cammy is easy to play against, you dont jump :P

SHE'S FUCKING ANNOYING WHY DONT MORE PEOPLE USE HER

Going to warm up on SFxTK now Shouta, if you have free time in an hour we can get some practice in tonight if you want.

Also the US needs more Bryan players. He does a pretty good job at shutting down chun

I'm on east coast though I'm definitely not as good as Q, I wouldn't mind playing and giving pointers either. There's also others like Solarpowered, Master Milk and such that play and are learning too (me included). Make a post in the GG OT or in here for matches and things.
 
I forgot. How many zoners use Sentinel Force again? If I recall correctly that is more of a tool for those with unsafe blockstrings.
Magneto, Chris, Arthur, Doom, Storm, Taskmaster all use Drones to great effect. A zoning Nova/Dante can use Drones too.

Also when did HM fire horizontally again? Hmmmm.....
What does that have to do with anything? If you need something for horizontal Doom already provides a Beam. There is no zoner in the game who can't cover the horizontal plane himself.


Also, Hawkeye without HM has a huge gap that is easily exploited and, he is one of the better zoners.
Hidden Missiles is going to do shit against Wolverines and Vergil.

Wait, so every zoner has a massive mix up and full TOD combo off a Hard knockdown? Didn't know that.
Chris, Doom, Nova, MODOK. Not every but quite a few have them and those who do make great use out of Vajra.

Agreed, getting into it's pretty easy, and the speed and music are all great stuff. I just gotta work on the deeper mechanics

If it wasn't for the Autocombo, lack of 360's, and lack of SRK's, maybe I'd agree on Guilty being easier to jump into than Persona. Maybe.
Everyone that plays ArcSys games move to west coast kthx
Wanna pay for my airfare and a place to stay

There really isn't 360's in GG, and the whole auto combo/lack of SRK's in a sense promote shitty play which in the long run make it harder for some people to evolve their gameplay :P in a sense it feels instantly rewarding and at the same time it makes it harder for some people to learn the game past that level ;)

No I'm a broke ass

IMO, from easy to get into to hard, it's: P4A -> GG -> BB

P4A's just too easy to get into because you don't have as many types of blocks to worry about, lots of symbols to tell you why you got hit, easy button combinations for actions, simpler inputs, less normals, and Awakening being an easier comeback mechanic for newbies because of extra defense and new super.

Thanks mate, will do
 
You left out Captain america who get's mix ups, zoning, and extensions off it :P
I forgot Iron Man too. His best assist is Drones and he gets full combos off of Vajra. I also forgot Trish for Drones although she is much better with Missiles. If you want to include Thor as a zoner then he gets great mileage out of Drones as well.

I think the biggest problem for Trish/drones is she can't really protect sent that well vs other zoners. Missiles works way better in that situation because if doom gets hit by stray fire while she is off doing her own thing the missiles that got out still go.

Not even Potemkin? Yikes, shows how few characters I play (pretty much only use Sol and I-No, some slight Slayer stuff here and there). I just assumed the grappler had a 360 or two.
 
I just picked up GG a couple of weeks ago and definitely a great game to play. Also easy to learn. Depending on character combos aren't that tough to learn either. Plus the game does some nice stuff w/ FD and I never feel like I got randomed out (except for eddie, that guy is mad bullshit).

I'm in the same boat, but I get my shit slapped by Zappa. I'd rather fight supermans in injustice than zappa, seriously.
 
As a spectator, Zappa's bizarre stance makes it very hard for me to read/predict his movement.
He's honestly really really simple. :P I sub him for fun he has a really limited move set outside of having a summon out, and when those are out he still has a fairly simple one

Doggie and Blue Duke of Spook.
For the doggie try to ignore zappa keeping a mental note where he is and focus on the dog. If the dog is up in your face don't fuck with zappa. For THE REAL LAST BOSS OF THE GAME just pray
