parking is bad downtown but there's lots of street parking around where I am.

 

[Mundungu]

Anyone else want to go to Chicago tomorrow? I think we have an open spot. John or Sanchaz? Vino?

I'll call Wes later today.

 

[john!]

maybe, but i have another question, how many of you are going to apex? and how are you getting there?

 

[yoshq]

I'm going, but I'm flying out of Minneapolis

 

[hunger!]

me grim and marsh are flying outta milwaukee

 

[FrootLoop]

i texted sanchaz if he wanted to go and he replied "don't try to contact me for a while"

 

[john!]

this can only mean one thing

sanchaz is an international super spy

 

[Mundungu]

or he just got umvc3

Hopefully its not something serious.

Frank we're prob gonna have to leave a bit earlier tomorrow, most likely around 8:30. It takes 3 hours to get there.

 

[FrootLoop]

cool beans.
sanchaz is a super spy.

 

[Quaz]

Mundunguu you know about anyone else who is going to Chicago tomorrow?

 

[Mundungu]

I think it's just me and Frootloop from Madison, and maybe John if he wants to go.

Did you want to team tomorrow?

 

[Quaz]

yeah, lets do it. I originally wanted to team with John, but he's still a maybe. So you and I for sure.

Also.. is it a big deal for you to swing by and pick me up at all tomorrow morning? I can drive myself and all, but I feel I could just ride with you and ofcourse provide my share of gas. Or maybe you and Frank could just drive with me. Up to you though! Im not sure if Im too far out of your way or not.

 

[Mundungu]

That's actually fine, but we'll have to leave right when we get to your place. It's about 20 mins out of the way.

We'll get there around 10:30, and you can drive the rest of the way.

 

[Quaz]

Sounds good to me, We can head back whenever you guys are both ready.

 

[LightsOutAce]

Sanchaz is probably busy with his humanities major lol.

 

[vintage]

Frank, this is the video I was talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW4RDJlEkLY

 

[LightsOutAce]

I love the deep "ohm" sound in the Matrix theme.

 

[FrootLoop]

saw this in the ylyl thread, thought of you kids and your anime chatter on thursdays:
Anime plot generator

'the spirit of vampires record a hit album for comedic bureaucrats because the moon is about to explode'

 

[LightsOutAce]

ROFL That is awesome.

 

[vintage]

I bet 30% of those would turn out profitable.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Wow. I spent 10 minutes of my life laughing at the randomness of all of these.

 

[FrootLoop]

by far my favorite part of sakurai 4:
$1 mm between me and juggleguy, I had the falcos.

That is a fantastic website. LOL

 

[LightsOutAce]

I just got "Horny angels escape to Okinawa with cursed bullet train passengers in accordance with the prophecy." Yes please.

 

[john!]

wow @ that anime generator.

i'm putting this in collapse tags so the anime studios don't find it and make millions of dollars off of the genius idea that i discovered

Spoiler

 

[sanchaz]

I got "sanchaz is the **** because he gets the ladies and has the bling-bling team moonwalk"

even the internet loves me

check out my combo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

 

[Quaz]

Damn that combo at 4:15 was soo wacky.

 

[LightsOutAce]

****in' Sanchaz lol.

 

[john!]

so i decided to see if my reaction time was as bad as i thought it was.

turns out it's 50% longer than the average college student

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

What scientific method did you use to test this out?
There is always more to it like predictive elements and simply forewarning to shorten time between execution and perfect timings.

 

[LightsOutAce]

There are tons of reaction tests online.

 

[john!]

i just searched google and took the first three tests

http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html
http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/index.php
http://www.mathsisfun.com/games/reaction-time.html

each time i averaged about .3 seconds

and the average for college age students is .19

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry#Types

so how do you improve your reaction time? people say "play video games to improve reaction time" but it's not working lol

i think i could get way better at melee if i managed to improve it. this is why spacies and falcon give me so much trouble, they are too fast

 

[Quaz]

Reaction time is stupid and makes you play like Lone Jedi.

 

[Oro?!]

John I got like 2.5 do you really think it matters that much? lol

 

[sanchaz]

I got 3.0 exactly for a reaction time

 

[Oro?!]

Sanchaz, do you got UMvC3 for xbox or Ps3?

 

[john!]

I got 3.0 exactly for a reaction time

the first known instance of a student having a higher reaction time than their GPA

 

[Oro?!]

LMAOOOOOOOOO. Dante would give you a high 5 for that one.

 

[LightsOutAce]

Got 'em lol

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

There's more to it than reacting to the unexpected. If you have to count down to something before execution (such as Spacie's UpB) you should find you can get that down without a whole lot of fail given the right move. Its even similar to different L-cancel timings.

Then, simply being predictive is another thing to help seemingly play faster. Yesterday, Jake and Sam kept taking potshots with Falcon spikes off the stage, oh, I see them coming towards me and I'm in lag, I'll start mashing UpB to meteor cancel the Dair. And it worked pretty darn well a few times when I didn't get nipple spiked.
