Hitting NEC this week for VF.

I care about Marvel/SF so little I"m tempted to bail out of NEC Saturday Night to see the Madoka movie, since that's running at same time in Philly.

How many folks would be interested in that/have transportation? Since NEC is the anime FGC major, kinda shocked if enough folks aren't doing this (if they know about it)

Man I remember a year ago at the last's NEC Chris G cried because he almost won and he whiffed a Level 3 Shin Shoryuken

And now...
That really is a game issue. I've tried dozens of times in training mode, with no pressure at all, to DHC Spell of Vishanti to Chaotic Flame, and even when I let the stick return to neutral I get Dark Dimension. Capcom really needs to fix this game's input reading. I put that even ahead of changing TACs.
 
FINALLY! MY OT TITLE HAS BEEN CHOSEN BY THE ENZO GOD!

how was everyone's thanksgiving
Good. My wife and I hate turkey, so we usually go to a Chinese restaurant since they're always open on Thanksgiving. This year, we couldn't find a good one that was open (WHAT?!), so we got Popeye's instead. It was also our 9 year anniversary, so we had two things to celebrate. ^_^

You mean that holiday that happened over a month ago?
Wat?
 

A Pretty Panda

fuckin' called it, man
Cyber Monday fighting game stuff. They're "lightning deals" so they're only available during a certain time frame.

SCV- $10
SCV Stick- $100
TTT2- $30

Along with the other stuff I posted before which are available throughout the day.

Oh yeah was meant to post this before

Amazon has matched some of those and also has some other fighting game related deals.

http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=br_lf_m_6131121011_pglink_1?ie=UTF8&node=6131121011&plgroup=3&plpage=1

These are showing up as "currently unavailabile" for some reason but if you just search for the game within amazon it should be fine.

Quoting from the other thread-
This game has hit a major stride in week 1. There are already competent players for all the new characters which usually doesn't happen this early. More Azarel than the other 2 but I've been studying the Bullet matches for tech as well and she has the most potential to be the standout of the new class for just pure insanity later. Guaranteed that what we see now won't be the case later so this is just pure sight seen observations at the moment. So enjoy the below vids. Every vid that has come out this week is below somewhere so plenty to study on.

Bullet, yo ass so fat it crosses over into the 3rd Dimension!!!
 
how was everyone's thanksgiving

Only spent one night playing fighting games during the holidays. 1v1v1 in All-Stars was a riot, ignored SF (even casual Sim turns people off), got bodied in MvC2 (4-13) against my bro-in-law, bodied him in UMVC3 (5-0) and split in Persona and KOF13.

We ended up really enjoying Persona and loved All-Stars because of the crazy lvl3s and having to contend against multiple characters. Wish that game had a wave dash or dodge button instead of block plus move as the dodge button. MvC2 still makes me a salty, nervous wreak. Ended up playing KOF because of the artwork in the background stages.
 
That really is a game issue. I've tried dozens of times in training mode, with no pressure at all, to DHC Spell of Vishanti to Chaotic Flame, and even when I let the stick return to neutral I get Dark Dimension. Capcom really needs to fix this game's input reading. I put that even ahead of changing TACs.

Simple solution: always use HCF/HCB instead of QCF/QCB. Those DPs will never come out that way.

If you haven't already returned the stick to neutral when you hit the buttons for your first super, your second one will be a dragon punch.
