How is everyone on this fine Monday?
Pretty good. Updating my CV right now, maybe apply to some jobs later today.

Bey stuff is extra funny considering the news today.

Just got off work. Played some Hearthstone, got 7 wins with a crappy Priest deck in Arena (felt pretty good, some of the wins were amazing). Saw last night's episode of Game of Thrones... best episode in the season thus far (enough said).

Finished work on my huge DMC5 wishlist post but decided to save it and not post it. I would probably end up jinxing it like I did the MM. May the chips fall where they may....

Appropriately, I made this:

Holy shit, that thread had me laughing and now I've been slain.

Guys how is the new Kirby in comparison to Kirby 2 3 and superstar?

I absolutely adore it. I've always been a Kirby fan so I'm pretty biased, but I love it so much. Don't think anything can top superstar, but god damn this circus power making me change my mind. Rather short game, high replayability.

Smash on pace to hit 1000+ players at EVO.

‏@Pond3r 5m
#SSBM you guys are on pace to hit your first 1000+ player tourney at #evo2014! Two months left. How high can this thing go?

tbh I just want to play UNIB tbh

Anyone from NYC picking this shit up
I would expect a grip of the NY Melty players would be getting it and the game will be part of the Team Stickbug events (as long as people show up), but I don't know where they would meet.

I hope this keeps on growing even to +2000.
I wouldn't want to think of how much space you would need for 2,000 SSBM players and their setups. ;_;

I don't understand. I played a 4000 pp Dee-Jay player today who had +14000 BP with his Deejay and beat him convincingly. Another Deejay comes along who has 1000 pp and 400 BP and I lost both rounds. The struggle is real.

Some people are weak to stupid shit good players wouldn't do. So when they play a Shitty player they have that weakness exposed, while when they play a good player the good player never thinks to use the s scrubby tactic. Different aspects of your understanding develop at different rates. Also sample size is small.

What do you suggest then? The Deejay was just spamming his projectile and since his recovery on that is pretty fast, I can't jump in on him (play gief by the way). EX-Green Hand obviously works but the footsies are too strong.

We need to play on PC sometime, sounds like your biggest issue is patience. You should play the Twins lol

Yeah, it goes down the drain with frustration when I keep on getting zoned out. I'm getting better at handling it though, I now just talk to myself to bring myself back and play it out patiently.
 
Looks like I get to play the role of therapist today!!!

I made a thread about how I'm doing ATM but it got locked immediately.

Good poops are a great thing. They just hating!

hahaha. I saw that thread lol.

I'm doing alright today. Excited about ufgt in 2 weeks though

UFGT always brings good mystery game, but the main lineup never impressed me just because not a big names usually go to the midwest.

pretty good

31 freaking days till wc and <31 days till Ultra, which reminds me....where's my goddamn release date Capcom?! Less than one month till the game's release and no word about it

What's WC? Japan going to have a huge advantage in Ultra for EVO. I don't know why it's so late here....

Doing final assignments.

I'd say I'm fine but that'd be a lie.

Finals just mean closer to the end of the semester.

Dreading my final grades and expecting to get bodied in a few classes... Other than that my day's on a pretty good start. Gonna put more practice in P4A (to get un-rusty) and Gundam (to hopefully not suck)

What's the difference between a doctor who graduated with a D and one with an A? Nothing.. they both doctors!

Selling my car so I can freely move back to England this summer with my GF.

I hate selling cars, such a hassle.

Wait where you at now?

I don't understand. I played a 4000 pp Dee-Jay player today who had +14000 BP with his Deejay and beat him convincingly. Another Deejay comes along who has 1000 pp and 400 BP and I lost both rounds. The struggle is real.

It's also one game.. where anyone can have a good/bad game.

I just took a midterm and my sister is leaving for Hong Kong for the week so I've been better

Hong Kong women on T.V scares me....

I've got a short shift at work, and I'll be treating myself to some Popeyes beforehand.

Good choice as long as it's not KFC you're doing good.

Pretty good. Updating my CV right now, maybe apply to some jobs later today.


.

I'm going to assume that CV is Canadian for resume right?

Feeling good after some Kirby and a workout, just enjoying life after finals.

Where you at Texas -ish? In Seattle people don't get out of school until like June.

Just got off work. Played some Hearthstone, got 7 wins with a crappy Priest deck in Arena (felt pretty good, some of the wins were amazing). Saw last night's episode of Game of Thrones... best episode in the season thus far (enough said).

I agree awesome episode. Tyrion is a boss.


Work is over, relaxing at home, and my Makoto went 9-4 this lunch, with some good progress on the antiairs front -- overall feeling pretty good!

I still have like a few hours to go.. then off to dinner for friend's bday! Going to this place.. they told me it's good I haven't tried.

I only tried Skullgirls once, when it first released. Could not stand how you could special cancel a whiffed normal. Strangely, no one ever talks about that. Ever. Which makes me wonder if it somehow disappeared or if I just dreamt it all...
 
2 highlights for me at ECT was Coach Steve winning the exhibition, and J.Wong probably putting out the most efficient murdering of Flux tournament chances.

You can do that in Marvel versus Capcom 3

Can we ban talk about how people's mondays are then? :p

and I haven't seen a Kibry thread yet. I'm not a fan of that series anyways
Kappa

Not gonna find any Kibry threads. Maybe some Kirby?

Anyway, ECT seemed like it lacked a certain amount of spark to the Top 8s that i watched. The only thing that was really interesting was the Flux/Coach Steve exhibition which was pretty damn fun. Sanford vs Rico was too one-sided to get into after the 4th game.

Also, this is a better BBCP 1.0 tier list than LordKnight's junky one.

That's in Marvel as well. It's a trait of the vs series. Personally I don't like it.

Maybe since you can do it in other games? I dunno.

EDIT: Damn I got beat hard.

If you don't like canceling whiffed normals then you can play Vergil. He's the only character in the game who can't cancel normals into special on whiff unless he's in Devil Trigger.

And yea this is present in many games especially more fast paced games.
