Pass is vee
Will bet at Vegas on Thursday night.
Also I ain't fighting in that shit, raz
sorry pc bros, cant make a lobby tonight as im really fucking tired from having to go in early, hopefully i can tomorrow though
Don't worry, I'm only here for a minute or two until I leave for work.
>seeing the frame counter jump up to 5 before round start playing against Raz
it also totally isnt because i watched yuyu tutorials for xiaoyu for 2 hours
Good luck on that gambling (unless bet is a typo, then have good fortune in your travels regarldess).
I've forgotten how annoying this was in 5 frames.
Back to Gord
Is this a discord game
Welcome to my life.
pc lobby: pclobby
is this hippie? I hope we get to play some casuals!
If you have no friends, yeah.
5 frames was bad but we got spikes for some horrible reason in that match too
Most of the lobby is sitting at that 2 bar range, I better find something else to do in the meantime while I ponder over if I should restart the router
>xiaoyu
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
ok then
I'll be back to play..... soon.... maybe...... it hurts...
GGs, those 4 matches were fun.
Also, is there gonna be a thread tomorrow? Don't have much internet connection at work so this will be my last post for the night.
someone else can take over thread making if the torch needs to be handed off for a few days
I haven't practiced shit this week lol, hopefully the few hours I get in tomorrow will save me.
I leave Thursday night so I'll be around for the week except Thursday onwards of course. So someone will have to make the thread on Thursday
GGs m8. Was a fun fight for me too. Have a good shift at work.
One of the yet-to-be added characters is a card user right? Hope he's one of the ones that gets chosen for the new version.
The fanart?
well, I don't want to sit here twiddling my thumbs waiting for someone to join so I guess I'll head out
good luck to the evo lads who won't be here tomorrow
holy shit I still can't believe PC lobbies are just dead ever since I started showing up regularly again
This guy.
I'll be rooting for you guys going to evo. Don't get slaughtered too hard by the nips.
But seriously, do your best dudes.
It's pretty odd considering how busy all of sudden they were the week before you came back.
With any luck there'll be alot of people hopping in after EVO brings in more players (hopfeully).
Also, some PC regulars come in quite abit late.
They seem to start later than PSN lobbies. Roughly in 30 minutes or so it pick up.
Joker is still mostly an in-joke so don't get your hopes up. I wish he had a better chance but the devs basically said to not expect him.
Japan players are at the level at which the american pros have a hard time beating.
Thankfully none of us seem to be in a bracket where there's more than one of them so at the very least most of us will make it out of our pools.
I still haven't seen a lot of the common names from lobbies before I took my break after combo breaker. We would have almost full lobbies by now. Hopefully everything is going well for those lads, I miss our games.
I'll stream the lobby tonight since I might not play tomorrow in an attempt to fix my sleep schedule for EVO
Going to actually sit out of necessity since Dualshock 4 batteries are fucking garbage compared to DS3 and this new cable is hella short
Dang, I hit some sort of connection snag, so I'm gonna use this chance to escape. Good 2 games.
Well if you want company I could move over and get some games with you right now while we wait. Up to you!
I was so worried that basta was gonna pick Chaos
Agreed on that battery life. having a controller where you don't have to worry about charge is a relief.
GGs m8. Too bad about the connection issues but I hope you have a good night and see ya next time!
I already closed it since I have a somewhat early commitment in the morning. Maybe tomorrow. Perhaps some other friends will show up.
That guy who always posts Kirei might show up?
Eh, I'll play. It's been a long ass time since I've played and I don't have anything going on tomorrow.
Thanks for the stream Icey, I don't feel like playing so it's nice spectating these matches.
Chaos is my worst character so being scared of him is silly.
I remember going around 6 consecutive hours playing JRPGs on the PS3 without needing to charge at all.
No idea what the hell is with DS4's battery life.
Yeah but It's difficult to fight 2 characters at once. Plus I don't have to timer scam it since the match is unfair for Yuzu.
kw: pclobby
Basto please, this is icey we're talking about.
True. I don't know why I bother
He's new blood. I miss my old PC lobby bros and every match having at least one timeout.
I would but I'm legitimately out of time. Need to be on the road to the burbs early tomorrow.
you guys are faggots
if you already play each other and know each others psn names just message each other
Yea Forums isn't your fucking blog
Cool, I'll probably hop in later after my gym time if it's still going. Still getting some fights in on PS before then though. Fun times.
Damn I keep thinking I have the 66C22A > 5BB down but then I mess it up by just doing 5A
Link to stream?
Whoops, screwed up the lobby settings.
>5A
5C*
just got this game on PS4
how do i play akatsuki
i come from playing a lot of blitzkampf and tekken
Dashblock when not in range
Roll face on buttons when up close
Hahaha, those fingernails dude! Also, my plans might be changing to another day for the gym since my gym partner is not feeling it today so my schedule is about to open up.
>that strut
>that flying across the screen
Truly a legendary match in the making.
man you're so boring to fight now icey
That was really satisfying to see Basta punish the C teleport
Why's that?
I didnt realize my grd broke and I went for the assault
I was rooting for Icey in that match. Gotta root for the underdog.
Kinda wish when I do Enkidu counter it would clear Azhi like it does for Yuzu parry. Maybe in the next version.
>whiffed the grab punish
Damn I deserved that
Dim your front light completely. It helps.
Dang that was a good match between Icy and Hippie.
It's all so tiresome playing the same chase game
It seemed like Hippie was tilted to me
I was just about to say what the hell this light existed for anyway
I stopped thinking halfway through when the entire match is just trying to catch an up-back/4C and teleport
We both chocked lot that match and hippie was really impatient for whatever reason.
Hmm that was a weird exchange. How did I go through you in that one Icy? Real odd.
More or less yeah. It isn't a yuzu fight but some boring icey one
The 6c pushes her forward and the dash must've pushed her right though it. It's just one of those weird exchanges
Icy isn't the patient type either, I think it would have been fine for you to sit back and wait for him to teleport into you even if he had the life lead. You were taking a lot of unnecessary risks that game.
Did I do something to offend basta? Why is he acting like a child?
All icey needs to do is cross me up and I get opened up. So my mind just said, fucking bumrush him and get him cornered
Sounds like it's possible that's what happened. Pretty interesting one.
Also I'm gonna copy that replay, I think I saw a neat potential combo using Enkidu 3C that I may have been missing out on.
It's exactly because you don't know. I level with the man
Even with the light dimmed, I feel like you still get only an extra 2-3 hours. Motion controls were a mistake.
Even those shoddy joycon controllers last 20 hours.
yo 2 wins in a row against hippie? Maybe EVO will go well for me
I have no idea how to approach Vatista
lots of dashblocks, and shield her zoning to win vorpal/force her to concentrate at which point you can dashblock harder
I wonder if there is a way to remove that shit without breaking the controller.
Nice fights lad.
I don't need to hear what you do in your free time with other men, just tell me what I did to make you angry.
I can't even get in shielding stuff. Melk knows everything I'll do.
If it's not directly connected to the motherboard you can unplug it and the controller will still work ie. the touchpad and light bar and rumble things.
I don't remember if the motion control shit is attached to the MB though.
In regards to Melk, it's less an issue with Vatista and more an issue with Melk just having knowledge on how to counter / avoid bad scenarios.
Melk is just a monster he is good at every character he plays.
>I don't remember if the motion control shit is attached to the MB though.
When I turned it off I read the description, apparently it is associated with motion controls and some PSTV controller identification type shit, like a wii remote sort of shit
Yo that first round against hippie felt free. I think I know how you feel when you fight my Yuzu now hippie.
Now imagine if I outranged you by three times the amount, was airborne most of the time, and was untouchable for around 40% of the match's duration
I'm well aware, the stonewalling is just frustrating. Like a long puzzle I can't solve.
Vatista is maybe the only matchup I can say I actually hate going into as mika at this point.
don't forget nigh impossible to whiff punish or even punish highly - moves on block
Just play enkidu then, he's got that sweet rekka and the dodge roll
Vat is super fun to fight as Mika though. It's one of my favorite MUs
>dodge roll
Once again, this only works against projectiles
That's bundled with the untouchable bit.
I'm just trying to get a read on habits then play into them. People with really good shielding and grd management are always the hardest to deal with for me as Vat.
>when depression hits fever pitch before EVO
I’ll still drag my ass to the airport at least
Maybe if I fought more than just 1 really good one or if I was any better, I'd agree, but fighting tooth and nail to get in just to ge blown back out annoys me and makes me do dumb shit.
Man our matches have been really good tonight hippie. I can leave this lobby knowing I can square off with the king himself.
Must be an off day for me
More than likely, at least that is today and not Aug 2nd
It's always an off day for me.
That sucks but, hopefully it won't put too big a damper on your time there
Is there anything that can be done to help it out?
Had a few things to take care of all of a sudden, sorry for skipping that accept earlier haha.
certainly
Let it be known that Icy can't tech gold throws, and since he cracks easily on defense and doesn't know how to use chain shift, going for frame traps instead of overheads is better for dealing with parry or 2A mash outs
Sounds comfy but also potentially life destructive. Hope you practice moderation.
Surely the company of the others at the event will bring your mood up as well.
That fucking parry though
>can't tech gold throws
hahahahaha what kind of idiot cant tech gold throws right
ahh you're getting good at jabbing me out of my stance dashes now Seiki. Good shit.
This is common knowledge. I'll be real, I don't actually know how frame traps work at all or what it even truly means.
You don't need because your parry is a command normal
This is the best answer I could've been given. Thank you
You deserve it for going for the unblockable
It might not be my place this since I don't play Hyde, but it feels like backdashing against Icy is pretty useless too since he doesn't OS, so there's nothing really to whiff punish. 4B and Veil Off would be blown up just as easily by pressing 1A without losing GRD
I'm getting real tired of 5 frames
>TFW can't tech regular or gold throws
I don't see how you guys do it, the only way for me to win is to not get close enough so I can't get thrown in the first place.
>Can't partition anymore
>Can't do forward moving fireballs anymore
>Don't remember how to do gem blockstrings
>Can't do dash up 3C8236 anymore
Has it really been that long already?
That was a pretty funny way to end R2. Also, 2[C] is blocked low from Enkidu right?
I'll probably get grabbed because I have incredibly bad luck with throws
youtu.be
the "fake gaps" = frametraps
I've gotten my ass beat enough ggs
It's one of those nights. I have the same issues with Clawz today too
Why would it be anything else
>I have the same issues with Clawz today too
Fuck and I rebooted everything before joining too
Thought I guarded it low and got whacked but maybe I let go of it is all.
Not jearly as bad as me
I think it's mainly just the distance. Though it's notably worse with the lagspikes
You're going to have to take risks anyways to frame trap right? Otherwise you'll never open the opponent up.
Plus, I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to get grabbed sometimes as long as you can still win vorpal in the end. It might be tilting, but it's better to get hit by a 1.7k grab than 3k off a 2A mash
I got scooped up and juggled like I was part of a circus act there hahaha.
Your combo game is getting pretty tight with Chaos Basta.
He's been only getting more and more fun to play. I'm really glad I decided to pick him up back when I did.
>Plus, I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to get grabbed sometimes as long as you can still win vorpal in the end.
Some characters can get a combo off a grab (eg. Yuzu, or Hyde in the corner) but usually they're pretty weak. Treat HP like a resource; sometimes just eating the throw might not be such a bad move.
Why's Basta ducking Icy? Did something happen?
To clarify I'm talking to people reading these posts not directly to you.
He doesn't like that I don't run up and let him win.
I can only guess it's because he doesn't want to play tag with Icy's teleports tonight.
That and a statement earlier in the night about Icy being relieved about not having him pick Chaos.
He just doesn't want to deal with a runaway Yuzu at the moment. It's perfectly understandable especially in netplay where the teleports are harder to react to.
Is it worth getting a fightstick for this or any other fighting game?
Hello pc lobby i have arrived to trap you in my web.
If you aren't comfortable playing on whatever controller you have then yes it is. If you like playing on a pad then there's really not any reason to switch.
Unless you plan on playing an execution heavy character, maybe.
It depends
Kind of a silly question to ask but do you guys know if the commentary for UNIST will be any good for watching?
I know I shouldn't expect Yipes-tier dialogue but any fun people to look out for?
Oh come on. I agree it's netplay and lag sucks, but teleport takes 50 frames. It is definitely reactable if you're prepared and looking for it.
Not really. It's an investment that can increase response time and consistency but it won't matter unless you're already at the very top of play.
I forgot about that. He did pick Wald against me so I don't know why he has such an issue playing against me.
Depends on who you'll be playing and as well as how much time you'll be investing in fighting games in general.
That's it for me today PC bros. Gonna leave myself on autopass so you guys can keep playing. Sorry for being mostly absent for the past two months. I'm hoping that watching some good ass evo matches and having more free time when the next semester stars will reinvigorate my love for the game.
I'm alright with pad but it's easy to miss inputs especially because i'm left handed, and it's hard to know which one I would prefer because I haven't gotten a chance to use a fightstick
Unless it's makotofox and Brett, don't bother
Pad is actually better for UNIST since the D-pad takes priority over the analog stick, letting you dash block far more easily than stick if you can master it
Aww i was hoping to play against you.
>decide to pickup Chaos
>see high level Chaos play
>decide not to pickup Chaos
You'll need to learn all your muscle memory from scratch if you pick a new controller. If you're missing inputs it's because you haven't practiced them enough, not because of what you're trying to do them with.
Next time. You're the spider boi, right?
Also, on the topic of commentators.
If we get an all japan top 8, we should get Kamone and Lamp to commentate that instead
ggs bro really fun matches
Yeah.
He's really simple to learn. Everything looks way more impressive than it actually is execution-wise.
If you can do 236A > 22A > 5C without dropping it you've already cleared the most difficult thing about him.
Not him but that's the one thing I had trouble with.
That 236A > 22A > 5/2C
This is incredibly misleading...
If you're maining Vatista then some scummy second-input-priority SOCD handling shenanigans might benefit you but if you actually fucking practice your inputs like anyone who cares about the game then the input method you use won't make a major difference.
It's pretty ironic that CB decided to ban the gafroboxes though when fucking DS4s can do the same shit.
Aww, I let go of block for some reason. Oh well haha. Fun fight nonetheless!
It's pretty tight but if you do 236A and 22A as one move (as fast as possible) you'll have a good window for 5C. If you wait to visually confirm 236A you'll miss the window to continue the combo. Once you can consistently land that part, the other stuff becomes exponentially easier (66C > 22A > 5BB, etc.)
It's not just Vatista, unlike on a hitbox where pressing left and right will return to neutral, if you hold left on the joystick then press A+B+right on the D-pad, you basically get a quicker dashblock than stick since you don't need to return to neutral and have a easier time just letting go of the D pad button than moving a stick from left to right. The D-pad input takes priority and overwrites joystick input.
Shit is actually broken.
Ahh I think I'm a little too dash teleport happy lately, everyone seems to be hitting me out of them.

ok but is it a patch
I know how it works. If you practice yoru dashblocks you can buffer them properly during blockstun and the hitbox/ds4 advantage makes no difference
Ggs lads I didn't realize the time. I'll catch you guys sometime next week.
>Kuon
>Filia

Pffft
And this is from a fortune teller?
>giving it (You)s
stop being new
GGs m8. Take care and have a fun rest of your week!
I do have to point out that everyone trying to sell their "leaks" as true never once namedropped Londrekia despite it being so obvious he's the shoe in addition.
My dad works at french bread.
gg pc bros
>Kuon this early
>Ciel instead of Arc
I'd like a Filia though
Also Londreika sory typo!
>If you practice
That's the keyword. It's the unarguable truth that dashblocking is easier if you just map one of your 4 unused buttons on an arcade stick to a D-pad directional input rather than practicing dash blocking normally.
Executional difficulty is a fundamental part of fighting games which is why higher damage optimal combos are a hell of a lot more difficult to do than basic BnBs. You can't just ignore it, especially in a game where the best advice that people give for getting in on zoners is "just dashblock".
Mika's dp needs a nerf
Good game seki. You really adapted to my Yuzu in that 2nd and third round with Vat.
Turned on my PS4 hours ago but I'm still not done with finishing up work or my preparations for leaving tomorrow, so I won't be playing tonight.
See you guys at EVO and happy birthday to me. I'll be spending all of it working and driving pretty much.
GGs
Happy birthday user. See you at Evo.
Acrually thats it for me too
GGs pclobby
Happy Birthday mystery user. Hope your EVO trip is a fruitful experience with lots of fun times!
if you're taking shortcuts on practicing the most basic shit in the game then you can't be helped
>Just get good and ignore this exploitable feature of the game
Reminds me of the time when someone complained about how option selects are cheating
I enjoy fighting your Yuzu Icey, I struggle fighting against Yuzu so it is much needed practice.
Ahh fighting Seth is really fun.
At least someone does
UNLIKE A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL
rhymes with Fatsa
>still falling for the TKj236 shenanigans
Oops I labbed that shit already
I DO NOT enjoy fighting your Yuzu Icey, BUT I struggle fighting against Yuzu so it is much needed practice.
Feels damn good when I beat your teleporting ass down.
I like to play zoners so I understand not wanting to go in if it can be avoided. Keep you chin up m8
You say that, but you actually do enjoy it, even if you think you don't.
My chin is always up, it goes past my fucking skull it's so up
Is that the pogo? That thing can be pretty nasty.
Zoners are super fun though and Yuzu is one of my favorites. Icey is just boring to play since all he does is jump back and 6Cs so I'm saving everybody the trouble.
You must be blind since I haven't done that all tonight in my matches. I'm pretty sure you stopped my attempts at doing so.
You need to grow up Basta.
Yeah Hyde's j236C > 66C oki,
Hippie you almost always do that after a 214X knockdown (especially the EX) and I've DP'd out of it most of the time this week so far since I noticed it. Be careful if someone notices that this weekend.
Sorry if you got offended there icey but even if I stopped you from doing it, fighting you is such a slog it just isn't worth bothering.
Before this goes any further: Fight in the game, not in the thread.
I'm sure I can better time the meaty but it's probably better used as stagger pressure
Nah don't worry it's just icey
Your tapeworm memory is showing again
I don't really care one way or another since I already know the outcome of the match before we even play. So being given the opportunity to fight someone else and and you having to wait is good enough in my mind. You're the one wasting your time sitting in a lobby doing nothing just cause my Yuzu tickles your asshole a little.
Basto, it's best to completely ward off replying to icey because there's quite nothing you can really do to make him stop.
Aside from mentioning his schoolteachers giving up on him
He can't help himself. I'm irresistible to most men
I stopped bothering with him a while ago
Why do people keep talking about the game if everyone wants to uninstall it?
Is there enough time after the kd to make the j236 hit meaty?
Either way though there's definitely a small gap between the projectile hit and the 66C hit that can be DP'd on either side depending on the timing, though I can't say I can personally hit that part with a DP with any reliability.
Obviously not but yeah, just keep that in mind.
Those were some nice parries Icy haha.
The only think that will keep in his mind is me.
>Obviously not
hippie pls
I only said something to sai and responded to icey since he seemed salty about me skipping him.
AHHHHHHHHH
THAT WAS SUCH A SICK MATCH
I HATE MYSELF FOR DROPPING THAT COMBO AFTER THAT SLICK AS FUCK DODGE
GOOD SHIT HIPPIE
Whew, that was a close one. Nice fight!
You don't want to respond to anything in association with him
Never, I'm just glad I don't have to fight Chaos since it's not exactly in my favor.
True enough.
Is there anything I ought to do for practicing reactionary CS DPs besides just recording a few oki options with one that a DP could beat?
Mika's fist was literally an inch away from Chaos's face
I feel cheated on that one, hahaha. Oh well.
Fuck our matches are so good tonight hippie. Feels like a Dia vs me style.
Ggs everybody I gotta get up early for a flight then I'll be back in around 6 days
Have fun and good luck all you guys going to EVO
GGs clawz
See ya
Man that was a crrazy one, didn't think I'd ever get a throw off you Basta hahaha.
GGs Clawz and thanks for the fun fights. Have a fun break!
Thanks for the games guys. Hopefully the connection is a bit better next time but just in case I miss you before then, good luck at EVO.
My birthday's on the 1st so I hope to see you all score high in pools.
I should've went with my gut and tried something else but I couldn't remember if Azhi was killed off or ready. GGs though, seeing Mika is always a fun time.
GGs lad and Happy early Birthday in case you or I aren't around for the next one!
Yeah, you were teching pretty darn all of my throws outside of a few command grabs tonight too. Mika is definitely a treat to play with and against to be sure.
HAHHAHA
Hippie you fucking deserved that shit.
I see what Clawz meant by the pogo dash attack oki.
That's a pretty cool setup.
I gotta ask hippie. how did you know that teleport at the end there was a dash and not a teleport c? Because that was an absurdly hard read
Mostly luck because catching icey is like playing dodgeball against a guy who can fly.
Not much a hyde can do
Sure, but i honestly thought you were expecting that 421c and would anti air me which is why I went for a 44. I think you should've won the match just for beveling in that fucking grab.
Holy moly that was an incredible read hippie. Didn't see that coming at all haha. Nice!
I think it's time I finish up for the night. I haven't eaten at all and I need to go pack my bags and probably practice some UNI since I still haven't done any practice at all.
Good games Sai and Hippie. Be sure to not have an off day like this on EVO day hippie.
Jesus fuck, sha
GGs Icy. Had lots of fun fights tonight! Have safe travels and good luck in your bracket. Enjoy Evo weekend!
Always late to the party, hahaha.
Thanks, I'll definitely need it. Though I'm more looking forward to meeting everyone and showing what a kind and saintly person I am.
Sounds inspiring. Hope you are all able to meet up without too much trouble then.
one more time before evo
i had to do it to ya
Desperation settles in as the spider has its victim trapped in the net.
We should be able to as long as everyone fucking downloaded the psn messanger app. Though I'm looking at the people who have and it's only Hippie, Merk and myself. So basically we are fucked.
Perhaps some of you guys are Steam friends and can use the Steam app to message eachother?
I'm friends with Lamp on steam but we're rooming together so that doesn't matter. Plus Sha and his bud are sleeping on our hotel room floor so I'm not too worried about missing him either. The rest is up in the air.
If there isn't one yet. Maybe I'll shoop Gordeau into a slip n' slide. Hahaha.
Hmm well hopefully the stragglers find a way. You at least have a meetup spot right?
I've never been to vegas so I'm not going to plan a meet up spot. I'll leave that to hippie/merk/
This 2B is goddamn useless
Well at the very least you're not alone on the trip so the extra pair of hands will be able to get the communication going probably. In any case, I hope you enjoy it all the same!
I wish those webs would disappear after he gets hit like Seth's orbs. Ah well haha.
I'm not even allowed to do jump ins
What do I even have left
he needs it like he needs these BUFFZ hes about to get in CLR
Ah I feel robbed hahaha. That was on me though for sure. Nice job blowing me up hippie.
Let's hope it's opposite day when the new game / patch comes out and he gets the necessary adjustments then hah.
Sai, let me fight sha a bit more consecutively.
Ah man I felt that one for him for sure. A glimpse of life. You're a cruel one Sha, hahaha.
Sure thing, was gonna head out actually after this one.
GGs lads. Great night filled with great games. If I don't see either of you tomorrow, good luck and have a fun time at EVO for whoever's going!
I just realized I booked my flight with Delta. If these cock suckers kick me off my flight cause they overbooked it.
I promise to go ape shit like that Asian dude.
Eat shit motherfucker
I ain't going down without a fight
heh.....nice....3c....
anyway ggs, dudes. I'm feeling good going into evo
I told you I'd fucking swat you like the pest that you love being
I dont mind considering how often I made use of my own newspaper roll
I know I should be downplaying my character for BUFFZ, but damn 5a is good
That fucking 5A into stray air series into air web is fucking disgusting
just dont assault bro
now wait for me to tech throws like atic, then you can call me very annoying
Wait for me to actually block FFs
Plus your combos lasting forever adds to it
I'm already used to ff being blocked and brutally punished, I'm sure you'll have an easier time of it offline, but I won't use it as much there anyway
There's a reason I'd trade it for any other good tool
