I have my kid's birthday party on Sunday so I can't enter the thunderdome. I'm glad to help any pimps who need a practice dummy though, this game is cool.

Why be a guy with a sword when you can be a robot policeman with a dog in it? Serious question.

Noob question, but am I seriously hobbling myself if I use a thumbstick instead of a d-pad?

Maybe we can do an evening tourney next time and alternate going forward? Afternoons are basically impossible for me.

Either way, glad this got me to check out a cool game I'd never heard of, looking forward to the next one.

The feet stick out, that's pretty much the only difference.

I use Tia and learned one combo. I'm excited as well.

Im not sure if I want to use my one combo Tia or if I'm gonna pick Condor instead. Im pumped at how easy the spinning piledriver is to do in this, I spent my childhood never getting it to work with Zangief.

I've played them before but it was just one-off things and no regularity and like years between the times I did it but yea, more or less. I did spend time in training modes of SF4 and KoF13 at least trying to learn the various motions and terminology. It'll probably sound insane but something I keep thinking about when I play is when I watched the videos of gootecks and mike ross teaching Xavier Woods how to play Ryu in the SF5 beta.

I never really played much either, except for playing SFII obsessively for my entire time in middle school. Back then there was no DLC, so if you wanted 4 new characters you had to shell out for another $70 SNES cart. I'm glad the content providers are taking better care of us now.

What is that circle on the ground? Did I breaker or something?

per the wiki

"Upon breakering successfully with anything but a jump, your character will have a green circle underneath their sprite for 9 frames"

Congrats on winning by actually using a central game mechanic!

Is it legal to play as Kula? She's a secret character but I don't think she's an OP boss character and also she's my favorite kof character so it would be cool ( :grin: ) to play as her.

There's secret striker characters as well, dunno if they should be legal.

There's apparently infinite combos that are competitively banned in this game, but I don't think that's anything we'll need to worry about.

I have no idea who I'm going to play

There's literally not enough time to try all the characters so I've just got to pick three out of the hat and learn how to do their moves without looking at the index cards on the monitor.

Think I'm gonna do Athena, K', and Andy. Seth worked pretty well as striker but I think he's the cheesy choice?

Athena is the cheesy choice which is why I use her in every KOF I ever play

I just want to pay tribute to that godawful nes game

In Training posted:

Well she's not cheesy once you know how to deal wit her, but if you ever play somebody who doesn't really know what's happening, her constant teleporting, 6 different kinds of projectiles and brain dead cross up stuff with psycho shoot all shreds

Yeah, you were messing me up pretty bad yesterday... But I know how to roll now so I think I'll do better next time.

same but the supers are going to whiff 90% of the time

If time is an issue maybe make losers bracket one match instead of two out of three

put another way, I won the tourney without a) doing the snk hop, b) landing a real combo greater than 2 hits, c) connecting with a super

check the replay if five minutes of spamming psycho ball and andy's kick jump thing sounds entertaining

I use power because I can't really get the handle on the combos in this game even though it's only got two buttons.

theres a third attack button, that may have been what tripped you up

but yeah I love that combos are basically optional cause you can gently caress people up so hard with just normal pokes

and SDMs are straight murder like they should be

Also I'm using this opportunity to learn how to use a stick for 2d fighters. I'm used to using one for 3d games and I kept trying to guard using a button instead of holding back. It's slow going but by the time the tournament gets here I think I'll get used to it.

I just put together a stick but it's still too noisy to use when the missus is sleeping, even with the Sanwa "Silent" buttons. Still going to try to get some time in with it and experience the world of beautiful perfect half circles.

Speaking of banned, is EX mode legal? It's secret but all the FAQs say it isn't any better.
