Pass is vee
Watch me die to Eltnums all weekend on Saturday
man these weeks are just flying past
Cursed OP image.
Damn, this next inhabitance has perfect wifi and a good TV. Now what am I gonna blame my failings on?
>3 bars
>but 5 frames of lag in-game
What trickery is this
>perfect wifi
No such thing. Play fighting games on a wired connection.
>perfect wifi
Even perfect wifi is terrible for fighting games. Either play on a wired connection or don't netplay.
kw: pclobby
if you thought i played shit yesterday, you havent seen me playing when im this fuckin tired
merk you are too fucking skinny. You need to start eating more people
I probably shouldn't mention that's all I've ever played on. Somehow the wired at home is less stable.
> perfect wifi
You know those weird jitters the game gets even when the connection is good and the delay is low?
That's because wi-fi is half-duplex; you can't send and receive data simultaneously which leads to a lot of quirky shit in fighting games depending on their netcode. Ethernet is full-duplex so this isn't an issue.
please name yourself so we can ban you and improve everyone else's experience.
That's actually pretty interesting. Thanks for explaining it.
Nice combo at the end of round 2 there Dia.
Would not have expected 66B following up on EX hien myself. Probably would've went straight into 5B with maybe tk. kuuga for some added damage.
I feel like I haven't seen pascal for years
That shit ain't 3 bars
It's actually optimal, though I haven't checked if anyone has found a better route. 66b leads straight into 63214B, which is generally included in a lot of Linne's optimal midscreen combos.
Yuzu parry never fails to make me do a double take
IDK if there's a pc lobby already up, but if not, Im just too tired to play really. I look forward to meeting you guys at garage gear and being able to be slightly less retarded at this game and really learn Wagner tips!
Anybody feel like making the kids' table 2nd lobby? 7 pros and me is getting kinda sad.
I missed you too
See ya there.
I can do it if ya want. Just let me finish my run here real quick.
Who are pros?
I love it when my little mistakes become miracles.
Hell yeah, say the word and I'm there.
I am
bro
no I am
I figure they're pro when missing a light attack gets me in a meterless 11k combo. So pretty much anyone here is world-class.
fighting linne feels like a bad matchup. Am I retarded?
Alright, room is up now, GGs Lobby 1, thanks for the games even though it was a short session!
That's pretty neat. I'll definitely have to practice that one some time alongside trying to include the whiff cancelling combos as well.
Forgot to mention it's the same kw/pass, haha.
See ya there for those who're interested!
Sorry, I had to get Diatom'd real quick
No probs! Let's have some fun matches.
And I'm already miffed!
It was a close game if it's any consolation (assuming this is Huo).
Ive always thought linne is pretty strong. She fast pretty safe and has good hurt boxes since she so small
hippie's lobby has booted me randomly like three times before I even got to spectate a game, so I guess I'll just play subs in lobby 2
The more the merrier! Sorry to hear about your connection problems though.
It almost makes this hurt worse.
Actually I may have to hop on PC instead and hope my occasional controller desyncs don't happen because I see no bars with Huo despite restarting.
I think Ill call it there actually. GGs lobby 1
pascal's the wifi shitter, I'm 90% convinced after the 6 frame delay. kick this fool
Wow, the connection doesn't want to play nice today at fucking all
I'm not but I'll leave
I can't really teach you Wagner tips per say but I can probably better explain the Phonon matchup. Hippie can probably sort out the rest.
PoE stole another night from me, hopefully I can get it all out of my system soon...
The number of complaints about connection problems makes me think there's a problem with PSN tonight. I was having problems in ranked earlier too.
actually wanna try a Bo5 pascal?
Shit, I'll come back. who is this?
phrumpf
You too, huh?
Yeah, sure man. Start a room and give me a minute. I gotta take care of something.
why did everyone leave? we're down to 3 people
I can guarantee he's not.
>pclobby full
Well maybe I'll take a fourth try at lobby 1 after all since it might've been some incompatibility thing before I restarted the PS4. If this doesn't work I'll just accept my fate.
Is that lobby 1? That's weird. We've got 4 people here.
Sounds like alot of people are splitting or bailing. If you want, you can migrate to Lobby 2 even if it's supposed to be the kids' table since it's definitely more fun to have lots of people to play against (at least in my opinion).
I deserve it every time, but I'm starting to dislike Gordeau's claw thing.
I'm having the best luck I've ever had and I'm only sustaining white maps with my league starter. 3 fucking exalt drops already. I usually don't get that in an entire league. I have my next set of gear ready to equip too, just need the links and sockets. How's legion been for you?
Why on earth did everyone clear out right when I joined
the command grab or this?
Those parries felt nice. Too bad they didn't teleport you to me Sei hahaha.
Nerf orie's walkback speed
Holy shit
if orie didn't have that walkback speed, thrust wouldn't be half as scary, and thrust is ories whole gameplan.
finna buy the game and pick up my girl mika. who gonna be my senpai in learning the bonker?
I swear that eats a fourth of my health each hit.
What platform are you going to be on? There are a decent amount of people who main/sub her on PC and PS.
Mikafags don't actually exist
I'd usually be "finished" or close to it by now, since every league I do the end game league content, and bop uber elder. But I really like the league mechanic, and I finally get to use flicker, so I'll expand my horizons and keep playing very casually, poking into hyper end game goals.
You know, I was just fine with losing my square tonight
Silly question, but could Enkidu use his charged 3C to roll under it all or does he get clipped by the bottom line?
I think I've done it before but I'd need to test it properly
CLR should give you an option to just lock your square to white so you can ignore colors altogether
Your Yuzu is getting better also Yuzu's 4b catches me all the time especially when Icy uses it.
PC.
shit how many people play her here.
I can teach you some mika basics, but we don't have any mika mains in these threads normally
>PC
Well no idea how many are over there but there's only 1 guy who plays Mika here and he's infrequent.
You guys WILL spam Kamone with QoL requests at EVO, right?
Damn, I was gonna try to keep the lobbies more even by switching whenever I lose, but lobby 2's gonna take forever.
The mythical 1 frame delay. God bless you Phrumpf
Nah, lemme fight atic some more. Prepare me for the worst this weekend
I never actually get that far because I can never commit myself to learning boss mechanics in standard for those fights and all of my hardcore deaths come right after massive purchases and obliterate my will to play. It's stupid but I learn new lessons about things that can one shot me every time.
I'm really enjoying how much better the delve/incursion stuff is worked in now since I sat synthesis out. Betrayal content still sucks though imo.
Whew, at least it wasn't dejavu with that corner experience from a few days ago (I believe it was? maybe last week) haha.
Thanks though I definitely want to get better at doing the stance combo stuff since right now I've really only got like 2 combos under my muscle memory. That or learn some other routes I could take the character that don't start on 2C.
Deska, GonD and one more person who hops between PC and PS who's name escapes me right now who's also really good with Mika. They all play her pretty differently too.
Pretty sure I'm missing some other peeps but you shouldn't have too much problem finding some good Mika players to give you tips.
I'd give you some myself but I'm quite abit rusty with her so I don't know if I'd be good for that. Hope you have fun with her though.
If I see kamone in person the only thing I'm going to ask for is to have this song put back in the next version. youtube.com
It's pretty interesting that it's mostly zoner city here on Lobby 2, hah.
Which tournament thing is this weekend? I might peep it.
GGs pascal. I still need a lot of practice with the match up and specifically winning grd but its pretty fun maybe even one of my favorite. Being back in orange saddens me though.
Don't worry, i'll join youthere soon
any vids of them somewhere. gotta find the best mika to learn from here. also any of the mission combos worth learning?
Orange is a land I may never enter, strictly beyond my abilities. Take pride in even being a warm color.
Just go watch Neji or Eve for pro Mika play.
>Mission Mode combos
Since you're just starting out, yeah
Color isn't really indicative of a players skill.
Synthesis was garbage anyway, concept was good, execution was piss poor, you missed nothing, except bat shit 0.0001% items I suppose.
End game fights aren't anything particularly hard, they're mostly gear checks. It's really dumb there's no way to truly practice though, you need to waste time setting up the attempts.
I don't want to play HC since I think it's a waste of time for practical reasons. Get rekt by lag spikes, forced to build tanky/safe. I like the concept, but there's just too many lame things.
Garage Gear for the chicago people
aight cool. gonna take the top mika spot for myself when i'm through with this.
Whew lad. I better save whatever I did there for posterity. Don't think I've done one of the combos I did in that match before.
Would you like the Mika Primer?
docs.google.com
Also Mission Mode is a good place to start. Sometimes, we have PC games streamed by a player here who goes by the name parkbenchfuture.
You might be able to find some in his archives though it looks like he currently only has 1 up on his twitch videos feed.
You're more than half-way there already
7 frames... It's never been that bad before.
Oh yeah, Melk is also currently messing around with Mika. I don't think you'll have a problem finding other Mikas on PC at all.
As for the other person who's name escaped me, he's in that video I mentioned too under the name Onimarus. Definitely another person to check out.
Holy moly, this Hilda-ing is making me wanna weep. I think I'm gonna go play some smooth-brain type games. Thank you for putting up with me again.
aticthe hit me up with what i'm doing wrong. Even at my local I can never get a grip on Orie mu. Am Inot patient enough? Thanks if ya respond
I wouldn't have gotten those items anyway, so it wasn't a huge deal breaker. I was busy the first few days of synthesis and the abundance of negative feedback especially after betrayal put me off pretty hard.
Every league I tell myself to play SC and it never happens. This time was easier though since there were no carts bugging through walls and killing players or syndicate encounters that show up instantaneously and delete 6.5k health.
the vods get taken down after a while. I can upload them all to a YouTube channel at some point since they're also on my HD
No probs. Thanks for the fun times!
She's a a hard character to deal with for sure. If you ever want me to switch off her just let me know.
Well who's this?
So... how do I deal with Hilda? Seems like nowhere is safe in the screen.
Put her in a corner then she's dead, Hilda's defensive options are not that great.
Block and get close to her. Win Grd, CS, and then use meter to bypass her attacks.
Not at all! I wanna improve. Just wondering if you had any advice
That'd be cool but it's up to you if you wanna go through alot of bandwith uploading assuming there's alot of content to upload.
That current one you have up does have a few Mika players for that new guy to watch though so maybe he'll get a good idea of how she plays with that too besides watching pro JP players.
Your favourite gank squad is still around though. A few times they would roll out right after the legion broke, making me feel like it was intentional. Nerfed, but still nasty, are certain legion mobs that do dumb amounts of damage and can off screen you.
7 frame delay is not worth a "2 bar" rating stupid UNI scale
You block high on that projectile from Hilda that's over your head right? I got bonked hard there, haha.
Isn't that the truth haha..Oddly enough, it's showing 1 and 0 bars for me against everyone in Lobby 2 here and yet I still get like 4-5 frames.
Given the players who have been in this lobby I'll assume this is Pascal and say it's mostly about the throw game. On offense you're generally doing tight blockstrings until you get pushed out without threatening throws so frametraps are much less effective, and on defense I'd recommend trying to practice 3CAD OS and/or trying to challenge likely reset/throw points since 5A and 2B are incredibly good for poking out. Against Orie I would recommend more use of 236A in midscreen neutral especially if you have CS or can confirm into 236C to make it painful.
Everyone but hippie is 1 bar. What have I done to deserve this?
Dash blocking is key. Normally you want to do so after pillar or pins. I have a tendency to whiff 5C a lot so when I do so use that chance to move in.
>Normally you want to do so after pillar or pins
Pins make sense but by the time I've started moving after a pillar it always seems like she already has another attack out and it pushes me fartehr back than when I started
based
Oh yeah, that's definitely happened to me while I had a breach open and it was terrifying. What's worse is that every other encounter you can literally just shrug off like a slightly more dangerous rare mob. Betrayal content needs a massive rework, not only are the encounters trash but the Syndicate tree just seems way too complex to fit into standard due to not showing up every map.
I believe pin is like -8 or something so it's good time to move in. Also if you're close enough you can risk assaulting over my 2c
Clearlamp says to try and do something, preferably invincible, after shielding a pillar.
I'm convinced atic knows what I'm about to do at least 80% of the time.
The beauty of OS
Let the game do the guessing for you
If you have the meter then that's always an option also her 623b is very plus on block so thats another thing to be mindful about.
I don't think jumping at round start is an OS, is it?
ggs everyone. I'll be traveling part of next week for work, so I'll catch all of you Wednesday or Thursday night. Hopefully I'll be sober then
GGs
GGs m8. Thanks for the fun ones! Have a safe trip!
Late, late night lobby time.
Looks like Lobby 2 crew had their fill so I'll hop back on Lobby 1 while it's still going.
GGs everybody who dropped in! Til next time!
Ggs everyone and thanks for hosting Sai.
No probs. It was fun times!
Damn, I can't time my inputs or reversals at all
Is Sei not here tonight? Wanted to say GGs about the matches earlier.
I miss playing in these lobbies. I can’t join yet because my shipment of d pads hasn’t come in yet
Someone B tatsu in my stead
This razzy? I was in Sai's lobby, ggs dude your Eltnum has gotten good.
Thanks, your Seth was fun to play against. So much flying around every where.
That's not good, first game of the night and I tried to IWEX.
I didn't expect a pretty good run like that coming back from Lobby 2. Also, looks like atic is having a bad night? I usually job pretty badly in the games against him.
I was surprised I didn't rush into that one myself actually haha.
GGs, see ya later everyone.
GGs m8. Have a good night and see ya next time!
Isn't life so much better when you stop backing away after knocking people down?
All I need is more bullying and I'll become an actual decent Eltnum.
That's more like it, though I'm starting to see some holes in the thrusts now. Neat.
>7 frames of lag
>6 frames of lag
Give me a break
Aww, was hoping to get 3[C] but got 236C instead. Whoops hahaha.
You know, I'm starting to feel it more and more every night, but can't do much about it for now, especially with UNIST's clusterfuck of a server. Come to EVO and we can have an actual offline match.
Woah shit, it's 3AM already.
Gonna give sha one run and I'll close the lobby.
Those floor webs are tough to rip up, haha.
Sounds good. Thanks for hosting!
Good effort in the end but not enough time on the clock, dang.
I blocked it, bitch
GGs everyone. Wish us luck on Saturday
block the 3c though
good luck out there amigo
I hope you demolish every Eltnum there.
GGs everybody. Thanks for the fun night!
See you all on Sunday (unless Mag or somebody randomly decides to throw a lobby up over the weekend)!
GGs, go show em how it's done
ggs everyone. I somehow forgot how to reversal or do proper spacing despite trying to practice it halfway through the night.
Good luck
Good luck to you and everybody else competing! Will there be a livestream?
Good night. What days of the week do these threads usually happen?
Sunday to Thursday
Sunday-Thursday 9:30PM PST-12:30-1:00 AM PST usually with some days second lobbies after main lobby playing out longer.
