[Holy Order Sol]

ggs sol, any criticisms you like to give me to help me get better?

Well, I don't know much about Peach specifically but I think you should have that turnip out more often especially to keep me off stage as Ganon. You actually got it right at some point and I thought you'd do it more. Same for blocked turnip into grab, I have a tendency to block too much that you didn't take advantage of as much as you could have even after having had success with your few attempts.

Also avoid committing too often to moves that leave you open such as up-smash (you did use down-smash a lot too but in situations where it was likely to hit and had more success with it).

Remember that you don't get invincibility again when you drop off and regrab the ledge immediately since that cost you a few stocks as well.

I see. I've made so many mistakes in our matches, there at times that I don't know what I'm doing as well. I've just picked up Peach but not doing so well. I hope to get better with her.

I'm scared now ;_;

You're too pure to find out, Yams.

 

[Karsticles]

Their Xbox One sticks are out. Their PS4 sticks should be coming out this month.

Do we have a release date? I think I might go Madcatz, but I need it for Xrd on the 16th.

Anything a scrub-ass KOFXIII player should know going until 98UM Final? I literally didn't know the game existed until they announced that it was coming to Steam, LOL.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Good matches Essay. It seems that you're better with the fundamentals and game knowledge but ghandi still looks down on me from above sometimes. Let's play again in Xrd!

She pulls a special bullet from her chest and fires like a "love shot" at the opponent that give them big gooey heart eyes IIRC.

"恋の弾丸はあと１発ありますよ"

My guess is that "one love shot (still) left"

Thanks. I I can only read hiragana/katana.

Can't wait to try out Elphelt and Sin.

Pretty much. Between SP and MP, I haven't played any other game since its release. I'll probably download injustice when I get the chance though. Maybe try out Xrd too.

Most importantly I guess, it's that there is nothing like hd cancels so you won't have to worry about long combos much. Also, there are three styles:
-Advanced which plays similarly to XIII (run/roll/build meter with attacks)
-Extra which replaces running with dashes, rolling with sidestepping, and you gain meter by charging it with ABC and allows for unlimited DMs when you're low on life but can't perform SDMs without full charge + low life.
-Ultimate that allows you to mix and match whatever you want from the previous two. Personally I like using Run/Roll/EX Meter.

 

[Dahbomb]

The Dragon Age post is insanely accurate... have not played anything except that game all week. Well actually I played some random kids games with my younger cousin but nothing serious.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I still need to finish that since I'm near the end, but I put it on hold for Xrd demo and some UNIEL/BB play.

Speaking of Xrd.

3 more days!

You're gonna pick up the jpn version when the english version releases 1.5 weeks later?

some people wanna play early, some people are getting both, some people are getting JP on the cheap and then getting eng.

I only double dip on fighting games. I have two copies of BBCT (one X360, one PS3), and two of BBCP. I'm heavily anticipating Xrd so I'm willing to double dip here.

12 days is a long time!

Forgot about that. It probably won't reach me until Friday though (if I'm lucky).

 

[Kimosabae]

I wish I had at least another month with +R - I was jut starting to get gud

Getting my fireball FRC corner pressure consistent and everything! And now it's all down the drain

Gotta find time to get one more session in with the boys before the reset.

I'll finally get to run some revenge sets on you. I havent really played matches with you since Persona, since I was never big into bbcp

hurr hurr

 

[Kimosabae]

Goddamn.

I'm ready for that Xrd.

Preloading on PS3 and PS4, feels good.

Less than 48 hours now actually.

Oh already been pointed out.

And yeah local scene is apparently planning to run a tournament for it before the NA version is out.

 

[Anne]

We got 2 days* until the anime take over.

Edit FUCK I CANNOT TYPE TODAY

 

[Uraizen]

Do we have a release date? I think I might go Madcatz, but I need it for Xrd on the 16th.

Okay, don't quote me on this, but the USFIV sticks are supposed to... wait, it's December. Okay, the USFIV sticks should be shipping soon, but there's supposedly going to be some sort of promo for them at the Capcom Cup this month. Waiting might not hurt a bit to see what's what. Even if you have to put up with pad for a bit.

#waifustick

The placement of Bullet on that stick is godlike.

 

[Azure J]

Oh shit I totally forgot about Xrd coming this week. Wow.

How the fuck am I going to play all these games and GAF at the same time mang? At least this annoying ass semester is coming to a close soon.

 

[SolarKnight]

some people wanna play early, some people are getting both, some people are getting JP on the cheap and then getting eng.

This reminds me I still need to get a gameshare for the PS3 version. I do plan to get the NA version, but I need Xrd now, and sadly getting Xrd at full price now doesn't fit within my budget D:

 

[marimorimo]

Fighting game gurus, is there a way for someone who absolutely sucks in fighting games to at least be halfway decent?

Everyone keeps saying babies and grandmas can play Smash Bros but even I can't play it

In any fighting game, I feel like there are so many inputs to memorize and the action on screen is so fast that I end up button-mashing before I even start executing a strategy.

With Smash Bros I played the demo and while it seems cool, I have no idea what's happening on screen 90% of the time. I win though (it's on Easy).

I have:
- Mortal Kombat (PS3)
- SFIV (PS3)
- Persona 4 Arena

All fighting games released on IGC on Vita (Guilty Gear, SFxTekken, etc..)

Halp

 

[fader]

yea i might try to see if someone wants to gameshare with me cause i dont wanna deal with yen to dollar currency.

the trick is to remember that playing games is more important than posting on gaf

Fighting game gurus, is there a way for someone who absolutely sucks in fighting games to at least be halfway decent?

if you're capable of learning, thinking, and practicing, then you can be godlike at most anything

and probably halfway decent at everything

You heathen!

Of course.

Alternatively do both at the same time

The best way honestly is to study. If you want to get better you gotta understand what better is. Not a lot of people have the natural mindset to understand what high level fighting game playing is and if you are in that majority watching commentated gameplay listening to how the announcers describe whatever button they use and why they use it is extremely valuable. Don't focus on the technical aspects yet such as frame data worry about the mindset.

DA is good? I played the last two briefly but couldn't get into it.

 

[Zissou]

DA:O was great but DAII was hot garbage, so I haven't paid any attention to the third. Did Bioware actually redeem themselves?

I'm not planning to be on the competitive scene, just be decent enough to enjoy the genre. Thanks so much for the linked resources!

For sure.

We can resume the Slayer 5K wars.

I've been playing more UNIEL/BBCP lately but I'll play P4 on request.

You think the discount will be significant? I can wait if that is the case....

I started out as spammy trash a few years ago. I think my play is respectable now. Anyone can do it if you take the time. 15 minutes a day practicing whatever new input you are learning.
