That was a pretty fun tournament. Amazing how they had enough to shoot through it in one day. Loved Clockwork winning, loved watching Snake Eyes play because I'm trying to get better with Gief, and Krayzie keeping the hive warm.
I wasn't watching the exhibitions because I was all over Top 8, but man, that gives me something to do tomorrow.

Did you not see Jiyuna's stream that was linked here? It was mostly Johnny footage and barely any Jack-O'.

shout outs to Tyrant using a breaker with just a sliver of health left and winning the round! His Jax is so scary
Jack-O footage. Might get taken down soon.

Went 3-2 at a local tournament with Kenshi, shoutouts to NRS patches because I won my matches by zoning and got bopped when they got close. Lost to 2 sub zeroes since the slip n slide goes under Kenshi's stand. I really wish he had an overhead in balanced lol.

Why were they goin' in? Looks like with the jumping multiple akuma angle fireball and minion spawning bags that this is meant to be a jump back character who lays out spawning creatures and utilizes her airdash to check folks runnning in. Reminds me of an odd new take on the Testament and Bridget shenanigans from Guilty Gear XX. I played sooooooo much Testament.
Also good luck seeing me play fighters for awhile. Splatoon owns my soul. I'll say high to Azure-J for ya lol (he's hooked too).

Because nobody was playing the new characters seriously?

That guy who offed Jack-O seemed serious

That's because Jiyuna is a troll.

Holy shit that was not what I was expecting when I saw the design.

god i hate arcsys games
I'm really turning around on this character. That leaked picture left me feeling eh but now I rather like her.

How can you hate this character, though?
I watched the stream of this live.
I guess while she looks cool, I'm really shocked that orange and black is not her default color...

Arcsys continues to innovate with fighting game character design. Out of all the fighting games I've played I feel theirs are the most diverse in terms of how each character is different from the rest.
That guy who offed Jack-O seemed serious
In the stream he said he didn't realize that he had won the first round. I guess standard etiquette is to let one person have a round to test things, next round the other person does the same, then third/final round you fight for real.

These pets you don't control apparently. You can set the pumpkin things and power them up but the minions spawn and move on their own.
They also can't kill you so you can't just sit on the other side of the screen and let them do all the work (I guess this would only happen against newbies or under 20f netplay situations).
Can't wait to see someone play Jack-O competently, as in to show what she is capable when her whole move set is utilized.

Been saying this for awhile. They make stuff exciting and fresh and its worth the time to play their games. Gets old just carrying over the same old stuff between games. Feels great having new things to work with and figure out strats for. Sort of like when I learned Modok.

I haven't been playing fighting games for long, but I have yet to have as much fun with fighting games as I have during the launch week of ultimax. Its my favorite fighting game for a reason.

I just got that game. Its kind of nuts on mechanics and was a bit wild goin in. Are the combos generally related to linking Persona attacks into either square button mashable combos or LHL(persona atk)?
So far thats what I was finding worked. Trying to play the archer girl and Aigis.

aye, i.e. my kind of bullshit. It's why I love Koromaru so much, one button pet-ness without anything extra necessary.

You guys have no idea how bad I want to play Jack O lol

Depends on the character really, but usually you're linking from human (A or B) into your Persona attacks (C or D) since the Persona attacks are generally much slower than the humans. Though there are characters that are certainly the exception. A lot of combos for certain characters start from your auto combo (which is just mash 5A) until it derives into something else. I main Yukari (the archer) and a lot of her combos start from 5AAA into other moves. though she also has a ton that start up from CH. There's the advanced stuff like OMC, but it shares the same meter as the burst and would rather save it for that. And then there's the awakening mechanic which is probably one of my favorites ever because you can pull off some crazy combos into unlocked supers into even more combos with certain characters.
Ultimax is definitely the most friendly Arcsys game. It can be played casual and you can do cool stuff, but you can go really deep into its mechanics and just beast other players
unless you're playing against Minazuki and Margaret tho.

i don't know, i just do... I think it's because she just seems so ridiculous (which is funny because it's fucking guilty gear)
like, half the cast of guilty gear pisses me off save for slayer, venom, millia, and zato
also fuck dizzy
Due to SCR not being able to use their venue in Anaheim, Valle rescheduled SCR to be in October at the Ontario Conference Center.
In the meantime, he scheduled two smaller events at UCI, with the first one happening this weekend. The 2nd one should happen sometime in August at UCI as well.

I like playing Johnny in Reload but he looks really stupid.
-Killer Instinct Season 3 is incredibly likely. There's no explicit hint it'll be revealed at E3 instead of EVO or something, and it might be too early for IG to have anything since they're still wrapping up S2, but it's definitely coming.
-Lucas is being released for SSB4 on Nintendo Direct Day. The Direct will probably follow up with a new DLC character announcement. Rumors point toward Roy (Fire Emblem) and/or Ryu (Street Fighter).
-Rivals of Aether is releasing a new trailer revealing its 5th and 6th characters in the middle of June. As an Xbox One (and PC) exclusive indie game, it might get featured by Microsoft at E3 in some capacity.
She looks like so much fun. I'll try her out since I want to learn an Xrd character for once.
Until then, I might just work on Bedman maybe. I just need to figure him out first. lol
I just want to fill stuff on the screen until Dizzy comes back. :/
Plus she looks like Kula, so huge plus.
How many people in this thread have never Mained a male character or are way more drawn to females in fgs? How about the opposite? I don't really care what sex the char is myself but I feel like a lot of people stick to one gender ie I think max said he prefers to play male characters.
