The party OS's you speak of can easily be blown up by the way....

I mean, the same can be said for crouch teching and unblockables too with delayed wakeup, invincible backdashes etc. There's always an answer to bullshit, but the biggest issue I have with 3s is how the OS exists in the neutral vs SF4's being strictly on the offense. Because there's zero risk with a parry in 3s, it leaves you open to play out the match as you normally would with an additional form of protection that's inherently built in.

While SF4 has it's own problems with making offense even more safe (FADC used to be horrible until the universal nerf) I'll still take that over how 3s makes it so you don't even have to guess on the defensive end and you can just basically implement an additional guard while playing the footsies game.

Ehhh I dunno. These OS's aren't as safe as you think. There's an incredible amount of risk. And that's mainly because of the grab's priority.

I mean, you can even OS in to a grab though, if you go for a parry then immediately after go for a grab you're able to tech a throw while also beating out a poke. If they do nothing, you grab them, if they throw you tech it, if they throw out a limb you parry which can lead to a confirm in to big damage.

did you guys get into the SF5 beta? I was considering preordering (PC vers) cuz of beta access, but then again not sure I want to be playing on dodgy servers right now.

I didn't. No ps4 stick here and yeah. I'll wait till the release

I'm aware...but that's nothing compared to SF4's mechanics.

No one else is playing MGSV? That game is fucking exhausting. But I love it. Can't wait to get home and play some more! Then I guess I'll take my Calc test ><

I'll play it before the year is over.

I looked at my play time. I'm 64 hours in. and I feel like I'm somewhere arond 30%? Everything is pretty time consuming...constantly going from side missions to actually missions to maintaining your base/army.

Got a PS3 on Saturday, so I can finally play Demon's Souls.

Dood. Best game ever. I still need to beat dark souls. My PS3 broke before I beat the first.

I'm enjoying Demon's Souls so far, but Dark Souls is significantly better in my opinion.

Vulva was that you? Are you at CC?

I'm more or less hooked on Warframe right now. It's basically a free-to-play third person shooter MMO-thing with a heavy focus on melee attacks and parkour. Kind of like Destiny but it's FREE. Gameplay is very fast and fluid if you know what you're doing. I love grinding and getting that loot up. Haven't spent a dime yet, which is a very good thing. Plus it runs pretty smoothly on my laptop. Maybe I'll drop some cash on this eventually but I'm having a ton of fun as is.




When I'm not playing Warframe though, I'm playing Splatoon because OH MAN is that game addictive. Nintendo needs to start pumping out more IPs like this and I'll never leave their side. I love grinding up my gear and what-not and assembling fresh ass outfits for my inkling to dominate in.



When friends come over we play Smash 4 on my Wii U. There still isn't much like getting a bunch of buds on a couch and playing this together.

Super Mario Maker
 

Super Mario Maker. Played it at a friend's house then went right out and bought myself a Wii U just to own it. It is fucking brilliant.

Divinity: Original Sin

fucking brilliant RPG with turn-based combat.

oooh a new game I see. I haven't heard of it. I can't keep up with next gen RPG's. How is it? I like the sound of turn based...I miss those. Is it like old school final fantasy turn based...or like that new action turn based stuff that's saturating all the rpg's lately. How about the story? Is it sucking you in? I'm in need of a new RPG....like really bad...I think the last one was...Valkyria Chronicles on PS3....I'mso sad that they made the sequels PSP-only.

Man, it's so immersive! It's not new though - it's been around for a couple of years already for PC and OSX (I've had it on my mac for around 2 years, but my mac was too slow to play it smoothly), and this is the Enhanced edition also for PS4. DEFINITELY worth the money.

I'm not such a big expert on RPGs, but Divinity is something between Baldur's Gate (very detailed statistics and ways how to develop your character, plus a very good story that sucks you in) and Fallout 1+2 (turn based combat). The combat itself is so much fun! Even more that you can combine various elements (for example put a rain spell on enemies to make them wet and then cast lightning on them for enhanced damaged, or combine oil spill with fire, etc etc.), it just fucking amazing.

Get it while you can. You won't regret.

Hmmm ima check it out for sure.


Last night was Friday and of course it meant SF night. They got SF2:Super Turbo on a stand up cabinet with Japanese sticks and buttons. Plays well....my friends are teaching me and showing me the ropes of high level play. Damn it's hard. But yeah....Had some amazing wins in 3s last night though....being immersed in the match and just have you become the character and react to everything so well is the greatest video game high you can get. It can be so hard to do the right thing in 3s sometimes...but last night, especially the last matches, I was playing out of my mind. It such a great feeling ending the night on such a great match. My friend was being a dick that night and he's MUCH better than I am and it really went down to the final hit of the final round to win. He won on a mistake of mine, but I was very content with my performance. Anyways...it's nice to see hard work pay off and now I can truly contend with the best 3s players in Chicago.

I've been playing Witcher 3 on my new pc I built. Most settings on ultra, getting about 50 fps. Good lord, this game rules.

Nice. I wish I can play on PC. I need a better processor and GFX still....I'm slowly changing an old office computer...to a...personal one.

Phantasy Star Online

damn. I like that game n all...but how do you play it by yourself? I mean...the grind....it's sooo hard!

SFV

Vulva. NR. you guys on dat SFV?

https://www.twitch.tv/drpancakejdmba/v/66888515

watch me beatdown some hoes at 1:28:00. I play Elena, the black chick.

You can tune in HERE at 7PM(central) every Monday to watch Chicago's best play 3s!


and h ere's a playlist

https://youtu.be/sXlFitQi-7I?list=PL...x2CQZhkP39I1Oo

I start playing at 10:50 and it goes until the next few minutes of the next video. I'm playing my friend Adam, who is probably the best 3s player in Chicago. Longest playing and he still plays this as his main game. He's amazing, and he's actually playing as one of the worst characters...and not as a handicap, but because he actually enjoys that characters.

SFV been the only game for me lately. I'm still learning at it but I'm having a great time with it

I am kind of addicted to Last of Us Multiplayer. I play it at nights when my wife and kid fall asleep. And then the day after at work I feel like a walking nightmare.

Yeah...how do you like it compared to SFIV? I think it's much better than SFIV, however still doesn't feel as responsive as older games. You planning Evo or any tournaments this year?

yeah I've had SFV for a while now. I actually built a secondary stand-up desk rig just for arcade gaming.



Anyway, I think SFV is really really good... but I don't play it nearly as much as I did SFIV. So shrug?

I played that for awhile actually. I think it's multiplayer experience is unique as hell, and highly underrated.

Right now though, believe the hype...Overwatch is quite solid. Really digging it.

yeah Overwatch is great. Really impressed.

just picked up one of these on Sunday for $50. I love it! It's so compact and pretty heavy for the size too! They lowered the price I believe and they're like $80 new. Though I was absically just looking fora nother shell to put my PS360+ PCB in it and make it a universal stick(sans next gen). This is stick no. 3 for me. (RAP V3, RAP V5, and now Qanba Q1)

that's neat. I went w/ the Hori EX's just because they're small enough to easily accommodate 2 players. I find them fairly comfortable. I also have a Hori VX SA, but I don't find it all that comfy.

When I go to my brother's house I've been playing Bloodborne on his PS4, I'm about 3/4s of the way through. After that, Dark Souls 3.
