GGs! Don't be sorry, it's really loving cheesy and you're just out of practice. I was just trying to show you what I was doing to piss off pubbies and I inadvertently annoyed you :ohdear: You better start playing more! You're the only good Ares..

Yeah, I'm out of practice for sure. So many dropped combos in so little time. I'll be playing more, but with MK9 coming to PC that back-to-block mechanic is going to become a real hassle.

Anyone want to play on Xbox?

I've barely played in the past three weeks and I need someone to kick my rear end.

Edit: Good games, Punkboy.

I think I might like Batgirl a lot even if I can't do anything with her online.

Injustice Top 16 was supposed to start 35 minutes ago on the VGBootCamp stream but TTT2 is running predictably long. Here is the Top 16, though: http://testyourmight.com/threads/ufgt9-day-1-recap-update-and-stream-schedule-updated-with-igau-top-16.33115/

Edit: TTT2 just finished, Injustice Top 16 -> Top 8 is up next, here's a multitwitch link because I'm watching Marvel, too: http://multitwitch.tv/leveluplive/vgbootcamp

Game's too new to tell. poo poo is going to change for the next few months. Honestly, that's my favorite part of fighting games. Like when Iceman was top tier in MVC2.

But what about the guys who declared what the new tier list was within minutes of the latest balance patch? Are you suggesting their analysis is flawed somehow? :shepface:

Yeah, I know, I was just being goofy. This game will be extra volatile because along with the natural evolution and discovery of new tactics there's also NRS swishing the beaker around and changing the game literally.

I'm starting to feel like this game has the ST problem where most of the top tier are just really boring. GL and to some extent Batman are the only top characters I don't feel that way about. Superman, Black Adam and Aquaman are snoresville.

By the whiskers of Kurvi-Tasch!
The more I play Batgirl the she's starting to remind me of Quan Chi from MK9. Instead of damaging combos it seems much more effective just to end everything in bolas, then walkup 111 into 50/50 reset. Even if the opponent guesses right she can't really be punished, then you can just try to get them back into the guessing game.

So someone from my scene found something that might be new tech tonight.

http://www.testyourmight.com/threads/new-tech-works-for-everyone-in-the-game.33164/

That post is horrible to read and he put it in the Grundy forum for some reason so I guess I can explain it in actual English.

If you get a knockdown and then go for a meaty normal, if your opponent does an invincible wakeup move, you can cancel your whiffed normal into a special move or super or whatever.

This might be a big deal? I don't know.

WarEternal
Dec 26, 2010

If they just wake up blocking you're going to whiff a special move and get punished, correct? Unless it's a safe special, obviously.

Leveluplive is on with... something, right now. Injustice Top 8 is supposed to start in about 15 minutes. MultiTwitch link again because I'll probably have both on: http://multitwitch.tv/leveluplive/vgbootcamp

Edit: ChrisG didn't check in in time and was going to be DQed from his Winner's Bracket match against Arturo, but the rest of the Top 8 said gently caress that and let him in (since he was there just after the check-in time).

Green Arrow isn't bad at all.

ChrisG is also very, very good at fighting games. Was he playing GA through the whole tourney or did he switch between characters like he did at the last one?

I think he broke out a pocket Raven in one match but otherwise it was all Green Arrow.

Yeah, it's not something you'll be able to use all the time every time, but it is potentially something else you'll have to worry about on wakeup. It means that seeing your opponent hitting a button and immediately going into an invincible special might not always be the best idea and everything else that comes with that. I imagine it's a lot better for some characters than others. Really, you're not even whiffing the normal, it's just hitting during the invincibility frames, which the game is treating as still hitting even though it doesn't do anything.

I guess this was also in MK9 and NRS is really good at making fighting games.
