I don't. It all tastes disgusting to me.

IDK this is pretty tasty

I don't either. we'll say that some blackouts may have happened before

Last time I got wasted I was asked to strip for a table full of girls... That was interesting and so so long ago... like 6 years ago
 
I drink like once every 3-4 months, but never more than 12 ounces of spirits. I don't drink enough.
Guilty Gear is one of the few fighting games that gets "let's go crazy" balancing right. I don't understand it. I wonder if it's just the community that makes it seem that way. I mean, Eddie/Zato-1 is almost always crazy good, yet not only does the scene thrive, it always has huge character variety.
It helps that the ASW community is far more receptive to balancing than others. Guilty Gear Accent Core+ is fantastic, but +R is still thriving after shaking things up. I think I would block all Capcom centric fighting game sites for a while just to avoid the shit storm if Capcom ever decides to introduce a rebalanced "fourth strike" (3S+). Some others like Mike Z just don't give a fuck about the complaints and push through whatever they want lol.
 
Am I the only person on FGC GAF who doesn't drink?

It seems like almost every day someone comes in with a drunk post.
I only drink socially. Drinking fruity drinks by yourself (a la Gyllenhaal in Zodiac) is pretty lame.

I have to have the smell masked.
 
There are hundreds of tasty drinks out there. Everything tastes bad by itself for the most part. That being said, only on special occasions. And when you get a buzz, everything tastes like water.
 
Oh and I pretty much ended up banning myself from caffine for the most part. I used to be a huge addict chugging multiple cans and cans of double shots. 4 liters of soda a day and all that horrible shit.

Quitting cold turkey was one of the hardest things ever. By day 4 I was basically crying in my bed in agony my head felt like it was going to explode

I just drink tea, milk, juice, and water these days.

yeah i became a green tea man after quitting soda and caffeine
 
I only drink when I'm out with my buddies, I don't like the taste of beer, but getting a little crazy with your all time friends is always fun. Tonight I was with like 6 childhood friends, people who I know for like 20 years, and all drinking and having a great time. If you know your limits, it's all fun.
 
The easiest way for an active soda, milk and juice drinking person to lose weight is to get into coffee (no milk) and loose leaf tea brewing. Tea is also the best stimulant if you want to play a fighter. I never understand how people can chug coffee and energy drinks before a fight.

Psh, Chocolate Milk is my #1 drink for fighting games. It calms me down and keeps me constantly relaxed.

I'm almost 28 but I didn't really start drinking until about 2 years ago. And even now I'm just a social drinker, though I go hard as fuck sometimes when I do drink. Like gimme some rum and I'm basically xf3 Vergil.

Nah man, that drink is bitch shit



Which is why I drink it. So delicious.

But what we really need to know is if you actually stripped for these girls.

Yeah, OG Capcom folks get butthurt about balance, even when it's good for them. Thankfully that attitude is dying as it should.

I wonder if they were traumatized that hard by Super.


I feel that's lazy or bad design tbh. For one thing you're making it harder for intermediate players to become adept with the game and characters and potentially become high level players. Another thing is it becomes an issue at high level play where you expect everyone to be on point with their execution so that balance is no longer there. I think it's better to design from high level play down instead from low level play up. The latter gives you Brawl. And I know some people love their hard to do combos just for the challenge and the thrill of completing it in a match I just don't think that it should be require to get the most out of a character and that it should also be inline with actual game balance. Hiding stuff behind execution barriers for that reason is contrived.


This is the Sirlin philosophy. The flaws you see are the only flaws I see with Skullgirls and Mike Z philosophy, which I otherwise fully agree with- though I suspect if he made another game he would do things differently.

The whole bitch drink thing is the funniest shit. I'll enjoy a tasty drink and get drunk while you can suffer drinking piss for the same effect.

and yes, yes I did. I even got asked to do it again twice after. 3rd time was the funniest cause it was a group of guys that said the girls were full of shit cause I guess they were talking about my package and they were getting jelly and wanted to talk shit or something. Me drunk = I give no fucks mode.

Had a dude that came to a party that looked like Shaggy from scooby doo. He said he was hungry I went and got a box of milkbones and handed it to him

Respectable choice

I don't even want to think about the sorts of things minions would do for an Uncanny MvC3.

Hello. I am a fighting game fan. I am also a huge scrub. Scrubbin bubbles level scrub. But I like to play and hopefully get better. I own almost every fighting game on my inferior seXbox 360's market place aside from the following: Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken 6, BlazBlue Calamity Trigger, and Soulcalibur 4. I have literally everything else. From the Mahvels to the Morrtal Kombats to P4A to King of Fighters to SONIC THE FIGHTERS. I have it all besides what I listed and that list is only temporary.

Anyway I play UMVC3 the most but I am always down to play one of my many titles. Like I said I play on my plebeian peasant Xbox 360 so if you too are inferior and want to beat up on a scrub like me, PM me for details. I don't rage quit, I don't talk trash, I don't catch feelins. I just like to play fighting games with people and hopefully learn from them. Hope to see some of you in the ring!
 
40" TV breh. Playing on it for years tho, only thing I've gotten used too

Damn, that's holding you back man. You should save up for a cheap little low latency monitor to play fighting games on. It might not seem like much but you've probably lost a games over the course of the years from that delay xD
