Good shit. Someone really needs to translate that Mark of the Gear vid. I don't play Pot (yet, at least) I just want to be able to do the loops, so I'm just gonna start practicing the standard one more consistently. I think If I learn to use the game's buffer to advantage I'll get it.

The spoken parts, yes please! About the parts written on the sidebar, they are either: "this works on all characters", "this won't work on these characters(unless you use this modification)" or "this only work on these characters".

If you only want the naked loops, then my only advice would be to focus on 3 critical points: pressing back immediately afterwards pressing forward + K, holding back and then as soon as you get the charge pressing forward + P + H VERY FAST, and getting the next 6K as close to the Hammerfall cancel as possible. Those are the places where you might lose a frame or two and believe me, that's enough for the next rep to miss. It took me a while at first to realize that I wasn't flipping from back to forward (and vice versa) fast enough.

And take care of your hands, extended 6K loop practice will give much stress to your hands, and if you get angry you might start pressing the buttons too hard, which will only increase the hand issues.

im trynna gamble tho ;)

I got Rentahamster and his room mate a combined 1000 dollars in slots after I showed them what to do with one of the games at the casino last year, lol. I got a few random women several hundred bucks when I sat down next to them. I pulled Triple Diamonds in wheel of fortune there too, lol. Good Karma. =o

Arent DLC characters 5 US Dollar/Euro each?
I am confused because I got the key during the Indiegogo campaign and didnt have to pay for any DLC character.
All of the IndieGoGo characters are free for everyone for the first three months they're available. On all platforms. Afterwards, they become $5 for anyone who didn't download them within that time limit.
 
my back hurts
Trying to channel the old cocktail cabinets.

If I'm not too busy with shit yeah. I do a lot of running around at Evo, especially since this year since I'm pot monster-ing a ton of games and I've got the usual rounds to go and gambling. =p



Anime is confusing, posts anime game picture!
MvC is not Anime! Words hurt Shouta, take it back. Also, should I be sending you money for Q's EVO trip?

Wouldn't having the screen like that be uncomfortable in the long run?
Yeah, I would have to angle it perhaps, I haven't prototyped anything yet. I have to get some powertools since I have to fix the outside of the house but looking for something fun/dumb to do with my daughter (let her sand, wire, program).

Somebody came in with one of those cabs, it was probably a prebuild, but we pulled it apart and put an asus in it and got it working. If you wanna build one they're not hard at all. If you're going to use an LCD you're going to have to angle it for playing fighters for any length of time.

Santarou actually knows how to play the Rose MU unlike Bonchan though. He doesn't throw fireballs full screen for no reason, option selects her backdash with st.fierce every time, ultras and uppercuts through non-true block strings, uses st.mk to stuff Rose buttons etc. He knows what he's doing.

You guys are sleeping on him. His Sagat is way different from Bonchan's.

But more than 3 months passed after Big Band's and Eliza's release and they are still active, not requiring me to pay the DLC price. Same for Squigly few years ago.

Hence I wonder whether they made an exception to the Indiegogo fundraisers

You know stream monster mentality. If you don't see him on stream often and if you only see him do badly in the one set you watch, they suck.

Nah, it's that Louffy is a seasoned vet in the Sagat matchup.

He's been playing with Ryan Hart (I'd say 2nd best Sagat) and besting him in that matchup for years. Not to mention what he did to Bonchan at Topanga.

I just don't see Sagat winning this. Maybe if he used his E Ryu and reviewed what Daigo did to win.

Santarou is more solid than Bonchan in many respects.

If he wins, though, he def won't be unknown anymore. lol

Ryan Hart is not the second best Sagat.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Louffy won either. It was more towards the comment that people just don't know some players since they only keep up with the foreigners that travel.

Getting them for free during the 3-month window lets you use them for free indefinitely, even after the 3-month window is over. If you try to grab them now, then they'll have the $5 price on them.

Then who is? Nobody else except for Bonchan has accomplishments with the character after Vanilla like he does.
not sure if fact

With Pepedai it was true, but people BEEN known Santarouman's name but.. he hasn't done anything to really garner any hype.
Tbh for 10K FT10 seems a little slim. FT15 might be more fit.

Yea definitely. It'll be a grim sight when its 14-3 for Louffy tho

shits gonna look like Fanatiq vs Nemo

Thanks. Though they were added to the roster automatically without giving me a choice to add them manually through Steam DLC page. Same for Beowulf

So those who bought the game during release date benefited most

Ryan Hart has placed top three in like every European tournament ever with Sagas.

Admittedly in Ultra he's been playing like half the cast.

If you got a key that came from the indiegogo campaign then the DLC comes 'pre-installed' with your version of the game - as in, you never have to worry about downloading within the 3 month period because Steam already recognizes your copy of the game as having all the character DLC that'll be released.

Not sure how not having the "choice" to add them manually means that people who bought the game during the release date benefited the most ...

I used to think Hart was definitely 2nd best but his Ultra play and reliance on other characters makes me think his Sagat isn't as good or didn't level up as much as other character specialists. Xiao Hai did the Gief MU much better than he did, for example. His Sagat mechanics/tendencies don't take full advantage of the charactert, either. He just plays the game in his own style and his gameplay and other character choices reflect that.

He's still one of the top all-around players, though, just not as good with Sagat specifically. His play style shows in every character he picks.

Top 2 Saggits are Bonnie boy and Santarou. Santarou has the better Rose match-up and he doesn't lose his composure as much as Bonchan when in disadvantaged situations.

He's switched from him because Sagat doesn't cut it like he used to in previous versions. Just like how Bonchan switched to Ryu to counter Daigo.. and like how Santarou also picked up Evil Ryu.

Santarou doesn't have the accolades like Ryan does.

This MM will be good tho.

If they buy game now, they have to pay for the first 3 DLC characters
Also they might have missed the DLC trial period if they didnt play the game for a long time.

Hey guys was wondering if I could get Fraud City added to this weekly list. It takes place Thursday at 7:30pm EST. Features a rotating list of games from week to week. This week is Capcom games. So USF4 and UMvC3. Next week will be KI and MKX.

enzo might get around to doing this in a month or two.
 
Santarou doesn't have to be a better Sagat player than Ryan Hart or Bonchan. He just has to be better in the Rose match up. And I think he'll prove that to be true. He may not win but I think it'll be close either way.
