[Clipse]

Are Scrub-GAF still around? If so, are most of you on PSN or XBL? Thinking of buying a console again to get back into Mahvel, but can't decide which console to get.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

XBL is primarily scrub gaf.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Speaking of counters, Wesker's BODIES Ghost Rider, but Magneto's doesn't even activate. WTF man.

XBL is primarily scrub gaf.

But their leader Beef is on PSN.

It doesn't work. You don't have enough time to call Dante after raw tagging. Your only options with that team are do some sort of blockstring first while calling Dante, or use all 5 bars to DHC through to Silent Kill. You can also change the team order to X-23 second, then use ankle slicer before the TAC to force Magneto to come out and only use 4 bars for Shockwave -> Silent Kill. Either way you're almost always going to have to burn X-factor after the first Silent Kill because incoming characters won't always fall the same way and you'll probably need to OTG with Ankle Slicer. You can use Jam Session to combo after, but you won't be able to do enough damage. And considering how hard it is to build two bars before killing the character, you'll probably never get a second silent kill the way you want.

The best TAC infinite Dirt Nap teams are Morrigan/X-23/Doom and Zero/X-23/Doom because they can always force the TAC you want, Doom TAC works midscreen in all three directions reliably and they're both strong teams outside of the TAC gimmick. You can also use Sougenmu or Astral Vision with impunity because you're banking all your meter gain on TACs. Morrigan in particular is the best because you can build the remaining meter after Silent Kill using Dark Harmonizer as a reliable way to get the second kill. It's the only team that lets you get two reliably. You're still almost never going to be able to kill the anchor, but you'll get really close. If I remember right, the silent Kill will do like 450k with the remaining x-factor level 1, and if you get really lucky you can link into a standing combo afterwards without ankle slicer and kill but that almost never happens.

Plus Morrigan has her infinite so you don't even need the TAC if you have a good hit and solid execution.

hmm good info.

I found that I was able to do Jam Session after I hard tag and it hit the incomming person and even combo from the hit with the final strike.

Im trying that morrigan version though cause i like morrigan better and i found alot of DHC synergy between Morrigan and X-23.

So Dirt Nap teams are common?

also does anyone play X-23 and does her Merage Feint Combo?

 

[Zissou]

Hardly anybody uses x-23(pros).

As far as GAF goes, there's Killa Sasa, but that's about it.

 

[fader]

I hear alot of pro players saying how Silent Kill is going to be a problem later but I dont know what they mean by that...

I just happen to be the person here that knows how they work. Killa Sasa and I are the only X-23 players here.

You can do cool stuff like that, but you get more damage by just doing a bunch of Crescent Scythe Ls into Talon Attack Ls.

On paper it's a huge issue but making it work in a practical way is much harder than it seems. I spent a good two months working it out and wound up sticking it on the backburner. And it's not like it's the ultimate team or anything. It's basically awesome until one character dies, then it's basically two anchors. The Zero one fares a little better in that situation if you use Plasma Beam.

Maybe check out the part of this dealing with structure (toward the end). Viscants talks some about an x-23 team.

after Magnetos. I didnt do up to the hits to kill the character (edit: from full health) but i got there health low and did two reps (edit: and killed them with it) and was able to quickly land on the ground and tag out and activate Jam Session (edit: before the next person came in)

 

["God's Beard!"]

Wait, what? You just did a hard knockdown then raw tag, then did dirt nap on the same character? That's not the same thing... Turn off life refill in training mode and finish the loop and try it to see if it works. Remember, The opponent shouldn't be able to move before being hit with Jam Session.

no, no, no.

I killed the first character with the infinite than landed and hard tagged before the next character came in and called Jam Session while the incoming character was landing in the feild.

Sorry i worded it wrong

 

[A Pretty Panda]

How come everyone looks fucking cross eyed when you face their model towards the camera in the bios?

But their leader Beef is on PSN.

This is true.

 

[Professor Beef]

I'm not even the best on PSN here lol

 

[A Pretty Panda]

You're a 3rd mythral paladin of course you are.

 

[fader]

oh and God Beard, what is the talon cresent sythe combo your refering to? do you have the notations?

 

[onionfrog]

I think I'm going to try Nova.
Nova/Hawkeye/Sentinel here I come!

These Human Rocket Punch loops aren't even that hard...

 

[SloaneRisette]

Anyone on PSN want to grab a few games? I need to shake some of the rust off since I haven't played in a good couple weeks.

 

[Dahbomb]

Dahbomb = Platinum rank on Dota 2.

HOLD DAT SHIT MIKE ROSS!!!!!

Spoiler

He probably has a higher rank than me because he has played like thousands of games already.

 

[racketpunch]

Replace Hawkeye with Magneto and you have the best team

 

[SloaneRisette]

I really need to start learning the Doom TAC combos and the Nova infinite...

Sorry to sound scrublike, but are there any notations for either of those out there?

 

[Professor Beef]

I think I've been regressing, game-wise. I went back to try and finish up some of my trophies for Infamous, and I'm one Blast Shard away from a Platinum. One tiny, hard-to-find Blast Shard to search for in 3 very large cities... D:

I also started playing Battle Network 6 because it has the best Mega Man.

I might play some Marvel a little later if anyone is up for it.

 

[EsotericManiac]

I learned some of the easier Doom TACs from Youtube. There are many different extensions from all directions and mid screen. I got a side one i have down well (offline) and a down TAC that I'm about 50% on.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

SAME FUCKING THING WITH ME.

I've used countless maps online and can't find the damn thing. Luckily in inFamous 2 they let you click in the stick to find them easy.

I'm starting to play a lot of Dota 2 as well, although I'm awful at it. The learning curve feels pretty steep, but I was able to become mildly competent at Marvel, so this shouldn't be too bad.

 

[Dahbomb]

Add me, Dahbomb (Dan_the_Badass with the Vergil avatar) on Steam. We can play some bots matches together sometime.

You can do that in the first one too... it just wasn't as easy-mode as the 2nd where it literally showed you the shard.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I know...

 

[Professor Beef]

Not when you bring up the map screen. I don't know why they bothered showing the blue dot on the map screen legend if you could only see them on the minimap.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Freaking Marvel minions. You guys and your easy mode shit! *goes back to doing MMHS with any character that I'm too lazy to learn*

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I'M MISSING ONE GOD DAMN SHARD

And that's one of the last trophies I'm missing.

I have all the shards... but I'm too lazy to do the stunts. Then with Infamous 2 I just beat it then said fuck it... I don't even care about the other ending. *goes off to Youtube*

The only stunt I had trouble with was the melee finisher on an airborne guy because I didn't buy any melee upgrades. All the other stunts were easy as pie. Then again, I was doing a Hero run on Hard Mode...which is like Hard Mode+.

Thanks! I'll add you tomorrow when I have time for some games.

 

["God's Beard!"]

oh and God Beard, what is the talon cresent sythe combo your refering to? do you have the notations?

If I remember right, it's something like Neck Slicer(charged), tiger knee Talon Attack L, Crescent Scythe L xx Talon Attack L, H xx mirage feint H, Crescent Scythe L xx Talon Attack L, H xx mirage feint H, Crescent Scythe L xx Talon Attack L, MHS, jH xx Crescent Scythe L xx Talon Attack L, OTG assist, Neck Slicer(charged), S, jH xx Crescent Scythe L xx Talon Attack L, Ankle Slicer(charged)

I gave up on the one where you had to stick the other guy with a nade that he toss at you. And fuck Infamous 2 while we are it too, it froze on me like 4 times!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I platinumed inFamous 2. Pretty forgettable overall though.

 

[Professor Beef]

You don't have to sticky him with it. It just has to kill him. I got most of the stunts on accident.

One day I'll find the patience to find that last shard. One day...

 

["God's Beard!"]

Infamous is for scrubs. I'm on that XCOM crack. Two "very difficult" missions in a row beaten with no damage ^_^

If you don't know about it, it's like Fire Emblem + Sim Tower with aliens.

Can't stand strategy whatever the fuck games. When I hit a button I want to god damn be hitting something.

Only exception is Pokemon.

Theory fighters like me do well with turn-based games. No shot clock? Might as well take a nap cause I'll be here a while.

It's too bad nobody plays H&H anymore because there's a "Theory Fighter" title that you can unlock from playing.

 

[WesternHeretic]

["God's Beard!"]

Well Student of Science is pretty good. But yeah, I tried to play some the other day to unlock herald colors and couldn't get a game in.

Well there are area where you have to think (like what pitches to throw, how shallow/deep infield/outfielders have to play against certain hitters), but what I was getting at was there's no shot clock.

zzZzZZZz

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I've noticed this. She's old news, just like Felicia =( Haven't seen Rog use her in a fortnight.

Seen plenty more Strange's though.

Dota 2 or LoL (although it sounds like you have made your mind). I haven't played dota 2 yet. League is addicting though... I need help... Lol. I`ve completely abandoned marvel... Which was the ONLY game I played for a year straight

 

[QisTopTier]

lol Shuma bnb into frank snap shot = instant level 5

Good technology for all 5 Shuma players out there.

I need some better partners for my Frank so I'll give this a shot too.

 

[onionfrog]

I would try this but I'm executionally challenged. I can't pull off those magneto combos.

There are some characters that I don't even bother trying to play as because of this.
EX: Dante, Magneto, Dr. Doom.
