Niice.

I'm hoping to finish the dictionary stick this coming week. This girl I'm seeing right now wants to play SF with me ><. Ima teach her chun.

haven't done anything to the FE, no need.

If you're teaching her Chun just show her my videos :P

Also EVOL I think there's a solid chance I'll make it out of pools this year. My EVO pool looks kinda empty...

Siiiick corner combo with the down foward jump in.

Good luck on yer pools.

Also noiseredux. I'll add you as soon as I get Internet again. Switching accounts....

This years EVO is fucking nuts. Vulva....hope yer having an awesome time. I wish I would've gone :/

so... this happened to me at EVO this year http://evo2014.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssf4_e64.html



Then got bopped in QF by RF and DaFeetLee. Both really good players though so I feel no shame. Not many make it out of their pools at EVO, let alone in winner's bracket!

holy shit, GG's vulva!!

NIIIICE!


Hahah you defeated Tuboware? He's from Champaign! a midwest player. neat-o!


good shit though.

Got all of my recorded games uploaded. The last two games I played and the last half of my winner's final's match unfortunately weren't properly recorded due to a lack of space on my girlfriend's phone.

First round of my pool. Me against a decapre player named Ian Jobe
Second round of my pool. me against a ryu player named Sd Atax1s
Winner's semi-finals of my pool. Me against a blanka player named Rickdawg
Winner's finals of my pool. Me against a blanka player named Tuboware. Unfortunately only the first game was recorded, cut off just as I was closing out the first game.

I'm just happy to have some of my success at getting out of pools documented. Looking back, I played really sloppy at times. Dem tournament nerves :(

a fellow Chun-Li main! :D

You play so different than me though. I'm always moving, always in the air, always kicking. You have real good blocking technique, and do a lot more throws than I do.

Even if you were sloppy at moments, I'm sure nerves were part? How is the energy there? Friendly competetion or intimidating?

Anyway, congrats again man. Good job!

Thanks man. The energy there was mostly positive but obviously as you go further, people want to win more. The dude I played in Winner's finals of my bracket was way in to it and I found out after my match (I was wearing a headset) called his boys over to coach him and to talk trash to me. I didn't hear any of it, though haha. I only found out cause my gf was telling me after.

He was super nice though, for sure, but then I read this on his twitter after:

IFD|TuboWare @TuboWare · Jul 11
I feel good. I can do this.

IFD|TuboWare @TuboWare · Jul 11
Win my next match free. In winners finals of my pool against Vulva, a chun li player. I got this. I have to win. I will win.

IFD|TuboWare @TuboWare · Jul 11
I'm sorry guys.


I don't really talk trash about people, so I'm happy that my performance spoke for itself instead of relying on trash.


As for play style, my biggest suggestion is to keep her out of the air unless you're dealing with someone jumping in. She sucks at anti-airing, so she's better to meet people air to air. Patience is super important with her. In my last game of winner's finals (which didn't get upped) I was happy to sit back for 60 seconds with the health deficit waiting for him to get impatient, and regain the lead that way. She isn't a comeback character, but at full screen she can chip quite a bit and when it forces someone to finally move, she can punish almost everything.

Played a bit more of Dark Souls 2 at the weekend, I'm finding it too easy, not half as tense and satisfying as the first one.

found sims 3 and a bunch of expansion packs at my mum's :O

<3 <3

Vulva good shit.

T&B:that seems to be the general consensus.....DS2 is much easier..

I suck at DS2 haha

Roll on Blood Bourne!

I've been packing up all of my video games/comics/collectible what-have-you's into storage bins and sticking them in the 'spare bedroom'. It feels totally liberative. I'm keeping my Wii U/PS3/3DS games on a small shelf and that's about it. It feels weird going completely modern, but my collecting nearly swallowed me whole. I was at well over 700 titles overall - most of which I hardly touched. I don't plan to buy any new games for quite a while... okay, maybe Smash Brothers Wii U. But that's it.

:DDDDD JOE!

Hi. :3

yeah woah it's Joe again.

omg I'm the happiest motherfucker right now. Yesterday a new barcade announced they got 3rd strike. But not just any 3s board...the Japanese board in a mohterfucking Japanese candy cabinet. Ball top joystick with sanwa buttons...I'm in love. I'll post a pic in a minute.

I went yesterday for a bit to check it out. The only thing was that the guy wired the buttons wrong(punches were kicks and vice versa). It wasn't unplayable, but I let him know and he fixed them. Anyways...I will be frequenting this place a lot and it seems like this will start bringing people out to play. I'm soo excited.

hot.

Noiseredux I think you should take a trip to chicgo. You can visit galloping ghost. Like the best arcade ever....then drink at the barcades...

plus Chicago dogs!

Someday...

Too bad there's no way to play SFII Turbo online, I'd whip all your hides.

I've been playing FFV on a SNES emulator on my phone, it's a nice game to dip in and out of. Got a bit further into Dark Souls 2 this weekend, I just reached Drangleic Castle, my disappointment at it not being on a par with DS1 is fading and now I'm enjoying it for what it is. The more I play it the more it reminds me of Resident Evil 4.

SKYRIM. still SKYRIM.

TnB ever heard of ggpo? I think(like 99.9%) super turbo is enabled for online play using an emulator on yer pc.


Lol or the HD remake.

Never heard of, will look into, thanks.

If Noise goes to Chicago - I will follow.

Just started a new file in FFVI Advance. With my new simplified outlook towards gaming, I hope I can actually beat the damn game this time around. The less distracted I am, the more time I can focus on just one game. I just have to keep stabbing away at it, I know. I'd like to finish this before school starts up again.

I'm on dat Destiny now. PS4 lyfe.


but seriously...I'm still playing SF3....though I haven't touched the PS3 version in months....now that we have a Japanese board in Chicago...there is no other version of SF3 to play....arcade perfect or bust motherfucker.



GO FOR BROKE!

I've been playing Earthbound for the first time (so late I know) for the past week. Really great game, already one of my all time favorites. I bought Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate a few weeks ago but still haven't even started it.

Fifa 15. Any PS4 Fifa players around here? Down for games...

Mortal Kombat X

Trying to beat the village chief at the barn taking no damage. I forget my old routine to do this.


Does anyone have the Metal Slug Anthology for Wii, and could you tell me if high scores are saved in Metal Slug 3? My Metal Slug 3 for my virtual console never saves high scores after the game is turned off. It's annoying, but thinking it's just a glitch via the Neo Geo emulation on the Wii and maybe it's fixed on the Anthology version.

For the first time in like 6 years, I'm completely off SF4. I managed to play on the main stage at EVO, played against some of the best players in the world but I'm finally bored of it.

Bring on SFV!

I stopped playing it real quick...haha. I can't find myself getting into it. I'm a little disappointed I actually bought it for the PS4...I don't know what I was thinking...it's a little fun....but at a competitive level it's just bullshit....too many option selects. I miss the REAL reads in 3s. But whatever....SF5 looks really good. I didn't get the beta simply because I don't want to shell out a bunch of dough for a new ps4 stick that'll I'll use for like a week then not touch it for a whole year.

Anyways...I've been on a MGSV binge...There's so much to do. I can't sotp playing it. My girlfriend never complained about playing video games until I got this game. I played all day Sunday and all day yesterday. I seriously couldn't stop. I will not touch it until Sunday probably...I have to play it for like....at least 4 hours on every time I sit down...so today I'll be playing 3s. I organized a small tournament at the arcade for Friday. Hopefully everyone shows up.

SFV is fantastic right now. I'm sure some dumb bullshit will be found just like in every game (lets not kid ourselves about 3s, having neutral OSes that mix in parries were easily as dumb as anything in SF4) but the game feels much more honest.

That said, I got to play against Xiao Hai on the main stage at EVO and I didn't get completely blown up (even took a round off him) so there's something to be proud of. I also beat another dude on the mainstage at EVO so that's cool too. I accomplished a fair bit in SF4 but it's time to move on to the new hotness.

My twin brother and I got drunk and hooked up our SNES a week ago before our 25th birthday. We played and beat Super Double Dragon and Goof Troop in that sitting.

Sf3's bullshit does not compare to sf4's(random unblockabales, safe dp's, invincible backdash), but whatever. Sf3 just has parry and it basically just tells you to mix up yer game. If yer opponent is parrying too much then your doing something wrong. Sf3 requires more patience and mind games.
