    USA [May 27-29] Combo Breaker 2016 (Chicago, IL)

    Swear I'm going to hit you up on that Parasoul advice next time I see you dude. Wish I could've gone to Salty Suite Sunday night (Salty Suite Sunday Stream next year, anyone?), but I was with a friend that day (one who doesn't really play SG, otherwise we might have shown up anyways). (On the...

    ^This. I had a wonderful time, and the fact that I couldn't hang out with you guys on Sunday (had a friend with me that day) kinda drove me crazy. Thanks for dealing with my first tournament nerves/social anxiety; I'm gonna do this way more often.

    USA [May 27-29] Combo Breaker 2016 (Chicago, IL)

    I don't think there's a shuttle at Midway, but you can get to O'Hare via a couple transfers on the L (probably Orange line at Midway down to Roosevelt, transfer to Red there, switch to Blue Line two stops later at Jackson and ride that all the way down to O'Hare. The nice thing about that route...

    The Chinese food ain't that bad! (If you're in Chinatown, otherwise you're on your own) Also, getting severe first tournament nerves going on right now, and I'm not even entered in the tourney proper (due to still being a broke-ass college student).

    #GGPOGirls - a Weekly Fightcade Tournament

    I'm a dumb who forgot this was happening last night. RIP. (I blame the new DOOM making me wanna play the old Doom).

    Steam - Windows How Good Is Hori FC4?

    The FC4 is so far above the 360 pad it's not even funny. Some people don't like the adjustable dpad because it has a tendency to slip, but I've never had a problem with it, and this version of the pad comes without it.

    My goal is to hog the casual machine until I'm forcibly removed from it, preferably via forklift. No such limit. A day without Chicago deep dish is a day wasted.

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    Just finished up a decently long QM session. Something I've been noticing quite a bit: -My Fukua is actually pretty good! Good enough to bring me back from the brink of defeat even, though not consistently. -My Parasoul, on the other hand, is super inconsistent. Sometimes she can be good...

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    Depression sucks ass. Forgetting to up one's anti-depression prescription sucks more ass. After taking the week off to deal with that fun shit, I've come back only to get quickly mindfucked, with large amounts of missed inputs not helping matters any. SO. First thing to do this week is to...

    #GGPOGirls - a Weekly Fightcade Tournament

    One day I'll be able to call myself "good" at 3rd Strike. That day was not yesterday. (It wasn't a good day for Cyberbots either, but I've never played that game before yesterday, sooooooo....)

    ...I've shown up to this party late

    Again, you should totally join the Skullgirls Discord chat I linked last page if you haven't already. Lots of people there who'd be down for sparring with you. Another place you can go to get some feedback on how you're doing is the Get GR8 event that goes down every Saturday...

    Yatagarasu / Legend of Raven thread

    Menus make a bit more sense now, I'd say (the second arcade is now Side Story, for one). Only thing that's missing now is GGPO.

    Don't know if I'll be able to register for the tournament, but I will certainly be there as a spectator.

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    To-do list this week: Fukua: Keep working on that reset loop; start incorporating L Shadow into blockstrings more. Also need to remember not to throw shadows when the opponent is right in my face. Robo-Fortune: Uhhhh keep learning Robo-Fortune. In particular, get a full version of one of her...

    Steam - Windows SCP XInput Wrapper for DS3/DS4

    SCP's still a little finicky, to be sure. My Fighting Commander 4 was working pretty well with it up until last week, when the drivers shit the bed on me, something no reinstall seemed to fix. Good thing the developer noted that he's working on the issue for next version, something that gets...

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    Variety is something I definitely need to work on, and not just in character choices (which are expanding drastically for me; I've started learning Peacock again, and I'm considering picking up Fortune and Valentine as well). A lot of my neutral game feels like it's getting very stale in...

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    I cannot play Skullgirls while off my antidepressants ever again. Tonight was horrible, and I cannot let that happen again.

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    Something I realized last night while playing on Skullgirls Slapfest was that I lose my groove very easily when playing for an extended amount of time. The reason why is because I've been playing a very set team (the aformentioned Fukua/Parasoul team, with Robo occasionally swapped out for...

    I Have No Defense, and I Must Scream

    Current team: Fukua (H Drill)/Parasoul (Pillar) (position changes depending on how I feel about the match) Possible Secondaries: Cerebella (H LnL)/Big Band (H Brass)/Robo-Fortune (H BEEM)
