Only one night, Jake?

Let me know when it looks like people will be up for Smash; I see there's some potential today so Connor and I might show up. I guess he works Friday/Saturday, but we can still prolly show up at some point and I might be able to stay later.

ps, I might get a new kitty! her name is Meow~ XD

The best most rage-worthy games right here.

If Super becomes a thing I'll have to grind some Juri at Jokers.

JBM's not going? D: Tyser tell me who wins in your money match yo.

Also you guys are gross ewwww stop ittt.

How come you always play characters that I play? Juri mirror is actually amusing. Unlike 99% of mirrors.

I just wanna fuzzy guard people into ultras lul. I'll still probably play Makoto anyways, apparently some of her EX moves have invul now? Thats pretty ridic for a character like her, even if her kara grab range is pitiful and doesn't even cover her fists anymore.

I'll be back in like 3 weekends lol.

I mainly want to play MBAA because its just fun to play and it has evo hype now. I can help you grind melty skilz if you really want to play. Theres only a handful of MBAA players down here, but I'm interested in it enough to travel.

Are you guys still going to Japan?
what weekend would that be, 5th or 12th? im actually pretty busy on those days. but i'll still play if we get the chance to. japan is kind of put off till december because of travel things and such

The 5th, and no worries. Whenever we get the chance, I need to practice my H-Aoko setups.

I once got my entire index finger stuck in the middle of a bike chain.
Took 2 minutes to get that bad boy out and it was awful.
My finger was fucked up for a good year.
It still doesn't even work right xD

But yeah, I wanna play some games with you ninjas.
I might creep tomorrow, believe it :')
When I used to work at Goodwill I drop a piece of marvel in my big toe T.T
Also Tyser if you get a full car the trip will be worth it gas wise ^.^


i don't think i got anything goin on friday, i may try to show up for games.
Drop by Jlo and there will be games CBK will come by after work I'm pretty sure Skizm too, plus Tyser said he'll bring a car full of people so Tyser, Uli, Matt, Trent and Silver >.0
come now Tyser don't make me a liar XP


Also, is there going to be any MvC2 at the tourney? Because if there is I will have to bring my stick!
Naw man it will probably just be Smash mostly Brawl with a TV or so for Melee and later towards the end a TV for either TvC or SSF4 so wait actually there may be MvC2 but not sure who will bring it plus it won't be till the end of the night since you'll only get to use a TV for either of those games so yeah. SOMEONE BRING CVS2 >.<


ps, I might get a new kitty! her name is Meow~ XD
You are just going to toss R.O.B away tsk tsk

Hey man you should probably bring your 360 since Peeks took his so if you guys want to play SSF4 then bring one with it also how exactly do you play Bison and Ibuki o.0

@Joker: GASP. Never!! I was helping the other ROBs pick out their own buddy T__T;; Chibo got one I showed him, though SiL didn't get the one I linked him to cuz he already has one .__. poor lil guy.

I went on a mad hunt for batteries/NES today, since I THINK grandma had one.. at one point... but yeah. I have lots of room in my heart for little cute things XD

I know Bison and I main[ed] Ibuki :p Bison is pretty E-Z and Ibuki is 90% Vortex 10% Everything else.

I've got stix I can bring for 360. I'll probably just bring my 360 + game + stix regardless.

I just wanna fuzzy guard people into ultras lul. I'll still probably play Makoto anyways, apparently some of her EX moves have invul now? Thats pretty ridic for a character like her, even if her kara grab range is pitiful and doesn't even cover her fists anymore.
Buddy of mine mains her, her overhead chop thing has some pretty good invincible frames, but that's pretty much it. EX Kara has armor. She seems kinda meh in Super. No parry ftl.

Also - Juri vs Juri is boring >>. But I also just plain hate Juri so I might be a teensy bit biased.

Yeah, I'll try. I'm bringing my wii with TvC since no one else will bother.

You're the Bison player- he's better in just about every aspect, just exploit that ****.

PSYCHO ABORTION!



Ibuki = Highly technical + high execution + low health + low stun = out of my league.

I'll bring my 360 stick too just in case.
Also I pretty much am probably just going to stick to T-Hawk or Cody for Super.
Though I might start playing Abel again since he's apparently better (if nothing else his U2 is pretty rigged).

GOD I just love that super <3
But yeah I main Bison but I didn't know if I should learn some combos and such since all I really do with him is just specials so yeah ^.^


@Afrayail: Are you guys coming down today since JLO is coming down for games o.0
And you better come down JLO >.<

I can bring my wii or 360 If I bring my 360 we'll have Marvel. Unless you have Marvel?
Oh and I know you want to focus on super but I'd like to get more TVC in than super.

You should probably go through his trials in challenge mode, mainly learn jump strong, strong, ultra 1 or 2. Also jump fierce/roundhouse, low or stand forward, knee press. Just simple stuff like that, as for ibuki: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpZrcZpjQM watch that then after trying some stuff in the vid watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkMKlgJdy3c

I saw Justin Wong demo her, is that axe kick still an overhead? Its so fast and safe AND it combos, thats pretty good all she needs is dash in > mix-ups and hayate canceling and she can still be a somewhat lesser glass cannon. She just can't read you twice and win I guess. Invul and armor on those moves sound pretty okay, but as far as I've seen armor in SSF4 is pretty much useless. A bunch of stuff just goes through it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Only the EX is an overhead, and it leads to a knockdown. So no combos off it, just mix-up.

The regular versions will lead to combos but they're pretty easy to see coming imo.

Her mix-up game is kinda different from what I'm used to. There's a tutorial video of her out somewhere that shows some awesome stuff. Armor in SSF4 isn't useless at all, just don't throw it out when the other guy is mashing shoryuken :p

Psycho Punisher <3 Pretty sure that move is getting buffed in the DLC too.

But yeah, all you have to learn with Bison is c.lk, c.lk, c.lk > LK Knee Press. Easy to get down and stupid good pressure.

Also I pretty much am probably just going to stick to T-Hawk or Cody for Super.

Abel is like, 2nd best in the game imo. That ultra is mad good. They fixed his issues with AA and made some of his stuff easier to pull off.


Ibuki = Highly technical + high execution + low health + low stun = out of my league.
Have you tried fooling around with her? She's not NEARLY as technical as people are trying to say. Comparing her to Viper and stuff. Her SJC's are way easier to do than Viper's ever were. I have garbage execution and I can play her competently.

I think Bolt/Pcity are the only ones from Ames anymore.

Connor's taking a nap before work, I don't know if we're going to make it. He's being really back and forth, so we'll see. I was hoping he'd give me a ride in on his way to work, but I guess that's even iffy. =/ Maybe be there around 9, if at all.

How long are people there for?

Also, Blank, your ps3 still available? What all was it coming with, again?

Yeah, umm I'm pretty sure I have Little Big Planet and Uncharted 2, I may have Final Fantasy XIII but no guarantee. But basically anything I have for it is yours if you want it, I'll have to check when I get home.

Its like a first release 80 gig, and I'll throw in my component cables too I guess. I have two controllers but I'd like to keep one, and with all the games I guess 275 would be reasonable. I won't be home for like 2 more weeks or so though.

Umm I'm not sure. Depends on if I get a decent down payment. I kinda need the money asap, but we can see.

A kitty sounds nice. I'm thinking about getting a pom pom, or even another bunny.

You should get kitty that functions as a PS3. Japan has probably made one. Or a PS3 shaped like a kitty. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES (not really).

pom pom? also, I didn't know you had a bunny. :O <3 there are a bunch of tiiiiny ones at ISU. I try to give them carrots after lunch >.>

You guys finally getting an apartment or something?

Also Makoto seems...really bad in Super. Same with Guy (he seems like a weird version of Fuerte without as many mixups).

Do we have any idea who all is coming OoS for the tournament next weekend (other than Nebraska obv.)?
I'm watching my parents house while they're on vacation so I'd actually be able to house people or whatever if more than just NE was coming.

If anyone is up for games tomorrow night lemme know. I'm pretty much free after 5.

I won't get back for three weeks, but yeah that sounds fine to me.

Also by pom pom I mean pomeranian lol. But i have decided now I definitely want a bunny. I used to have one but my aunt moved away, and I also nursed one back to health once. They're pretty nice its just you have to stop them from eating their own fur lolz.

Also I found this adorable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04RZrf3-Mgo&NR=1

Ima get an english lop or a lionhead, I can't really decide which I like more.

You know I am by the way I got Brawl- so yeah also bring Super just in case >.0
I'm hoping yours actually loads the codeset.

Also I can't really bring Super because you don't have a 360 anymore since Peeks moved.
Speaking of someone needs to get a hold of him somehow, I apparently don't have his number anymore.

Yeah Ngamer told me the Psycho Crusher is good now which is awesome cause I love that move and yeah I learn to to his Knee Press into his Nightmare Knee Press so yeah.


oh im definately tryin to figure a way up there joker, if anyone from ames is goin up could i possibly bum a ride? i will pay gas moneys!!!
^This. Well since it's Saturday you can probably ask Sekku just give him a call I'm pretty sure you can figure something out.

I want a bunny too or a hamster ^.^
Which one is cheaper to take care off

Daigo plays on Live.
I'm generally unwilling to bring my 360 because it's gigantic and the powerbrick itself weights about as much as the console.

If games happen tomorrow I wanna play more singles. Playing so many teams matches is kind of boring and doesn't really help you improve (as much).
