Fighting Games Weekly | April 14-20 | Some Permutation of "Daigo is Da Bess"

I didn't get to see much, but what little I saw of the Japanese USF4 stream that just finished, was a Momochi that was already adapted to a lot of the changes.

He did high damage and stun combos ex red focus crumples and he took advantage of changes to other characters (Like jabbing Rufus out of ex messiah where in v.2012 he would have been hit because of more invinc frames).

Be sure to check out the pre release stream on nico nico on the 16th.

Aren't those streams behind a paywall?
 
Yup. 1st AE2012 and UMvC3, 5th KoF13.

I didn't have the chance to play marvel 3, how are you supposed to block it?
People are covered how to block it. You either block it standard or as a cross up. The tricky part to it is that Vergil appears in frony but it's actually still a cross up. Its still a timing thing to the RT but in reality it's a pure 50/50 like many other mix ups out there. Most people get hit by the cross up because it doesn't appear to cross up even after you have been hit by it.

Even if you block it there's a mix up after that where he dashes underneath you to do a cross under. You can see that if you are looking for it at least. If you block that all Vergil has after that is the Judgment Cut/Rapid Slash mix up which is really only a mix up because Vergil is so sped up that Rapid Slash comes out really fast and it's hard to pick the animation difference between Rapid Slash and Judgment Cut.
 
It apparently does if we wish to watch the archives.
Or I don't really know, but either way their bad english is asking me to pay when clicking on the link now.
 
Then again, I'm starting to believe that the best way to play fighting games is to play super-long sessions with one person. It's what I did with Guilty Gear XX back in the day, and it's what I currently do with VF. I love it.
yup that's what I do. same opponent for like six hours straight. sometimes like 2 or 3 other people will enter the rotation but not usually. doing this once a week for the past six months has helped me level up real nice.
we want to start streaming
I laugh hard every time I read this. Help the dude out and introduce him to a better game.
pretty sure it was his first time there, I didn't recognize him. idk maybe if he comes back he'll leave his cage
 
Nico works this way: they allow a precise amount of viewers to watch a stream. If the limit is reached, they kick you if you are not a prenium member (payed account) to give them your place. If you are prenium and the limit of viewers is reached and there is no more normal guy to kick, nobody can join the stream, not even a prenium member. So you have to pay directly to the channel to be able to see it, even if you already paid nico your prenium membership.

This site deserves to die.

That is some bullshit they are pulling.

Spooky needs to run a train on Japan and save us
 
Not sure.. but I think they were laughing at Deejay :'(

His exMGU looking a lot different since its much faster

Poison is looking pretty good
 
I noticed I've been getting burned out from fighters lately. My hype for Xrd is just me waiting for console release right now, BB I've tired myself out for a bit, SF4 I have a lot of catching up to do, and etc. Going to have to pick up the slack before Evo. :/

Regardless, still looking forward to Smash 4 though.

Edit: Looks like Evo early bird registration should be over.

I kind of feel the same way. SRW Z3.1 is giving me a welcome break from it all however. I think by the time I'm done with that I'll be ready for some more BB.
 
Same as Maxima in KOFXIII.

Can he free cancel the guard frames into any special move as well?

Well, the term "armor cancel" exists in SF4, but noone can really tell if it actually exists. Kara canceling is a well known term, and in SF4 so far, all armor moves get the armor on frame 1, so "armor cancelin" is most likely just kara canceling. Hugo's st.Hp doesn't get the armor on frame 1, so for him to be able to armor cancel... armor canceling has to be separate from kara canceling... which we won't know until someone tests it.

Ah, I see.

In KOFXIII Maxima has different start up frames for the auto guard on his various normals and specials. During the guard frames of his normals you can free cancel into any special move or super before the normal comes out.
 
Can't wait to try out Elena. She looks rad

Agreed. I also have fun fact for you guys: If Elena uses red focus to absorb 1 ex fireball from Ryu, she will be half way to ultra. Imagin if you play Elena and focus on absorbing stuff with normal and red focus. I can totally see her getting 3 healings in 1 round.

PSO2 has a very similar setup for its servers, so it might be a Japan thing. Wonder if they make more CPM this way.
 
If you missed out on Vector Strike last weekend you can still check out the archives.

Part1
http://www.twitch.tv/iebattlegrounds/b/519384778

Part2
http://www.twitch.tv/iebattlegrounds/b/519430390

In part 1 we have all the force matches and some of voot while part 2 finishes voot and has exvsfb.

I'm hoping we can do another one of these soon since each time we do something like this we get more and more people coming out to these events.

The tourney was fantastic shingin - great work all around.
