Can you guys find an old picture for me? A Long time ago someone posted a picture in this thread of all the different types of people who play the different fighting games.

Tekken - Clowns (people juggling)
Brawl - Kids
MVC2 - Thugs
KOF - Mexicans

etc....if was really funny and I can't seem to find it again.

Why does everyone have creepy feminine furry avatars?

Also, games next Tuesday? I get home at like 630ish. I would really like to play against Joker, and get some legit singles/doubles practice in.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, 6:30 would be a little late to go to des moines, unless they wanna come up

Come to Nebraska instead!
If someone from here is actually driving to that I may go.


Also I came to realize that I don't have a problem doing double motions with Dante or executing some of his harder combos hell I can even do his Acid Loop now
Are you proud of me yet Blank T.T
but where I drop the combo is pretty much at the start and that is after I Stinger > Bold Cancel > Volcano I pretty much drop the Volcano most of the time or I miss the J.H after Volcano (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻) but after that I'm golden unless I REALLY keep it stylish >.0
Drop combos because of TV lag obv. :bee:

I work Tues so I wouldn't be up there.

We should have games tomorrow tho.

Lol gj, but are you doing it mid-screen? The way you do it mid-screen requires a different set of normals. I haven't really had trouble doing many Dante combos down here in Vegas(When I don't have to play on 360 pad). I still like the double motion change though, not because it makes things easier at all. In fact Dante's combos will be harder in ultimate because Bold Move's cancel time is even shorter, so you're going to have even more trouble doing that sequence Joker lol.

The real reason I like the double motion change is because if people cross you up in the middle of your 2nd motion in marvel, then you just lose it and you end up not getting the move you want. This is mostly relevant to hammer.

Yet another thing I was into before anyone else. Sigh.

to be fair, my cats are female so this isn't an insult :OOOOOOO

@Chris(tian)-Cool, I am pretty sure Colin is planning on coming, if Bpow doesn't go with NOM I think NOM said to me he's gonna go with Colin too so that would be a car.

Bring your drinking shoes, rents are OOT.

@NGamer: Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for.

It appears according to that chart, I'm a little black kid that likes to juggle. Not far from the truth :-D

@Dirty D + Ames: Ummm....are we going to DSM, if so, is it possible for us to do something weird. Can we play during the day? Like from 3 pm to 8? I was thinking about going to a comedy show. If not, I can skip it, but I wanted to know what people thought about that idea....or we can play in ames...i go to the comedy place and come back.... at like 10 or 11 when it is over

I'd be fine playing at any time. If people are playing in DM I'd be leaving at 5:30-6 to head up to Ames though.

Hey, I'm trying to resurrect the KS PR's. If you're interested in being a voting member of the Out-of-State Panel, please post in the thread or PM me. I'm trying to strike a balance between local and regional perspective on the rankings for our state.

Fuuu I didn't even think about that lol. I wavedash back and forth under people all of the time to mess with their inputs. We have a Morgan player and he gets super pissed when I do it when he is trying to fly cancel fireballs lmao.

Hammer should cover both your front and even a little bit behind you too, so its like you have this grand scheme to catch teleporters by buffering hammer, and then they're behind you and you get Killer Bee and die.

No more in Ultimate...

3) QRS ***** as long as there are no metaknights nearby
4) I don't team with brandon enough
5) Lil Kwanzaa can do super flow & rap like lil wayne

So besides #1...had lots of fun :)

Hey Joker, you know that great little unblockable that you got set-up. Would Dorm be able to set that up with Stalking flare? The problems I see arising is that it's too slow and might not last long enough.

After that I just need an Ammy combo that can kill. Actually I need that anyways...

Come out with your own gimmicks >.<

But it might you team may have to go Amy/Dorm/Wesker but I think the Stalking Flare may deplete as you tag out since it only has 20 hits to it and after you tag out you still have to wait a bit for your assist to be ready. I'll experiment with it when I get some time since I can use Task/Dorm/Wesker too ^.^


Also Blank I did the Grappler reset against Greg and is actually pretty nasty when done in a match.

Stalking flare doesn't track fast enough so they have a chance to jump and then you can't set up the unblockable unless your timing with it is spot on. Your best bet is to lay the stalking flare then DHC to Ammy and do instant overhead mix-ups, or use the stalking flare and lay flame carpet where you think they might roll, then hold raw tag for an overhead. This is unblockable if they roll forward into the flame carpet because they wake up with the hitbox inside of them. Some people may do this to avoid stalking flare in the corner and some people won't. If its not in the corner then you'll just have to guess.

If you want an Ammy combo that kills you need to use Glaive lol. Either do 1 or 2 reps of thunder edge loop into launch, or do 2H 6H weapon switch into launch, then do j.H > 236H > charged j.H into whatever you want. Usually a charged thunder edge > call assist > 6HHH > assist hits > charged j.H > repeat into launch > power slash > okami shuffle x2. This has been my combo of choice with Ammy using hidden missile assists as at the very least it builds the most meter and carries them to the corner. its also very easy to hit confirm since you no longer have to worry about crossing underneath the opponent or j.3H whiffing.

You don't even need wesker for that setup. You can just do stalking flare > guard master lol.

Man I'm telling you you should be able to do so many things after grappler because they can't roll. Call low assist + hammer or call assist > teleport > jM whiff cancel double overhead, and in ultimate hammer with dt > overhead jump cancel overhead style cancel overhead stand L > call assist > teleport > repeat with Akuma/other multi-hit assist. You can even x-factor the hammer into airdash for 2-3 more overheads/feints. Devil Trigger buffs are actually quite nice, Dante is really a Melty character now. I foresee a really nice oki-based character in Ultimate if Dante can't already kill most his enemies in his main BnB.

He has a 3frame attack with lots of active frames to stuff jump-outs and other dumb things with instant bee sting.(Chun legs without the +14 basically). Still kinda salty about the st.l and st.m nerfs since they were already slow and tons of other characters have similar busted range (Specially with Zero buffs and now Vergil) but meh, if Dante blows I'll just pick up some other trenchcoatfag.

What ended up happening was I'd set-up the Flare and Mist but then he just raw tagged out and ate the 20 hits and then I didn't follow anything up. After playing it occurred to me that I should have charged j.h and combo'd that.

I lhate only being able to think of these things after the fact :(

who is excited for Skyward Sword? I hear pretty good things about it so far and it looks pretty good from the sound of things.. yes. I can look at sound. But yeah. I'm excited. But I won't be getting anything 'til after christmas. Because Extreme Vs. comes out in less than a month and I'm too excited for that. Skyrim comes out so soon >.< But I will have to pass on that. I have some Gundam to watch before EXVS comes out and BF3 is more than enough for me to have fun with. I also have ACE R to keep me happy. It's super.. okay. hah.

anybody interested in EXVS, there's a new PV: http://www.mmcafe.com/nico.html#http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16078709

you can also find it on youtube but this is much better quality.

Joker I'm thinking you can probably have my PS3. I don't know how good of shape your PS3 is in, but we can either keep it as a spare or we can sell one of them.

Basically what I'm hoping for is you get Ultimate so I don't have to, then I spend my money on Generations. :D

IMPORTANT:​

The date for the next tourney should be on November 26th attendance for November and December tend to be really low cause of the holidays and/or weather so will the 26th work for people.

Also the venue fee will most likely change do too some issues I just keep coming across and hopefully by doing so they will stop thanks for your understanding and hope too see you guys at the next tourney v(^.^)v

Some people may do this to avoid stalking flare in the corner and some people won't. If its not in the corner then you'll just have to guess.
k well if you do a BnB with Dorm into his Flame Carpet you are pretty much guessing and even if you read the roll they will be able to block the whole thing and Dorm won't recover fast enough but if you use Stalking Flare it may work but timing is really tight maybe if you DHC into Amy's slow down I need to try that now >.<
Also Amy BnB into slow down to Dorm's Stalking Flare sorta works since the opponent is slow down but again more times then others they could have just jumped and avoid the unblockable so it seems you will have to do J.H > J.S so that you can do slow down on the air then DHC to Dorm this worked ok but the Flare just doesn't last long enough so yeah.


If you want an Ammy combo that kills you need to use Glaive lol.
This. Even now I still think Blanks Amy is beast (lol) the combos he does with her are pretty good and seem to deal good damage while most players just stick to the disk even though it does the job I think her Glaive mode is perhaps the best plus I saw someone beat Wolverine cause of it ^.^


You don't even need wesker for that setup. You can just do stalking flare > guard master lol.
True is actually something I started doing if I catch them on the air so no matter what is an unblockable grounded or not.


Man I'm telling you you should be able to do so many things after grappler because they can't roll.
Agreed but I think the guarantee one will be a grab since the other options may work if they haven't seen them yet or don't know about the untechable grapple so IDK I think we can figure out more stuff once Ultimate comes around >.0

Dude you get to play as Sonic's son that's freaking awesome 0.0
But we could keep your PS3 as a spare I'm definitely getting Ultimate by just selling a couple of my games mainly both copies of Marvel but besides that I will like to get KOF13 and Arkham City which my brother might get so yeah >.0

Arkham City seems pretty good. I like Batman's brutus brutality.

Ultimate should be called UMVC3VB Ultimate yadda yadda 3 vs Batman.
