    Do I Just Flat Out Suck?

    This may help answer your "O" question :D And like others have said, you'll get better. NOONE is good at fighters right off the bat due to so much to be learned. Fighting the CPU is worlds different from fighting real opponents and uses a whole 'nother skillset such as reading your opponent...

    Patch Update: Autumn and Konami cease relations

    I just can't wait for online training mode on ps3! Been trying to teach my best bud from where I used to live (6 hours away) this game and it's his first ever fighter pretty much. Having to deal with rounds and a timer makes it kind of frustrating :D

    Possible new IPS

    Possible new IPS

    Back to the topic at hand though guys, which is the skullgirls IPS. :) Let's not derail this into a "this game's combo length vs that game's combo length" thread. Sorry if I started the tangent, lol. I guess my main point was if the new IPS is making the combos shorter, I'm all for it.

    Possible new IPS

    Unfortunately this holds true of pretty much all fighting games these days, specially the 2d genre. ;) And it's not like we don't like playing fighters period, and as expected they have evolved over time into what they are today. I think people like me and blu who grew up on the old fighters...

    Possible new IPS

    It may be just my age... but I always liked the games with shorter combos. It puts more emphasis on fundamentals, mindgames, reads, etc vs outright execution. One of the reasons I can't stand playing MvC3. Why should someone get a full 100% combo on someone just for opening them up ONCE, then...

    Tips for successful air loops?

    Peacock being my 2nd fav is teaching me a lot about dash timing and delaying/instant attacks, specially with her air combo and her delay in her air-dash. Been trying to do this one for a day or two now and I'm at about 1 in 20 I'd say for the dash > j.lp as well as getting the 2nd j.mp to...

    Tips for successful air loops?

    Yes, I've noticed watching tourney streams and such it's somewhat noticeable on someone like Val's loops that the timing of each loop itself seems to be slightly different due to the IPS and having to mix up the moves used. Thanks again guys. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    USA New England thread - Not UK

    Nice, one of my two sticks will work then :D Unfortunately it's my plain boring Qanba Q2 and not my customized Cerebella TE, lol. This also makes me want to come to an event even more as I'm a PS3 player and have yet to play Squiggly or any of the newest patch changes.

    I guess I should also ask, what systems do you guys use there? I only have ps3/pc sticks.

    USA New England thread - Not UK

    Oh I was referring to GU I think, the one in Framingham. According to google maps it's about a 2.5 hour ride one way which I don't mind if I bring a bud along for the ride. I'm just interested in meeting some new people interested in fighting games and getting some offline experience. I hate...

    USA New England thread - Not UK

    I'm way up in the Meredith area of New Hampshire (bout 3 hours away) but I will def try to make it down sometimes for a tourney (even though I'm sucktastic at the game). Thanks for pointing me to the thread here Panda!

    Tips for successful air loops?

    The just "hold up" mentioned here a few times now has helped immensely. Didn't realize you could do that to be honest... was actually trying to time the "rejump" and it was screwing me hard. :D Now I just have to remember to hit different buttons so IPS doesn't kick in (which is my issue now...

    Hitstop Poll

    Thank you Shnarfl, that was very helpful.

    Also not near as pretty as my TE above, but here's my Qanba Q2 standard with ps3 colored buttons, and Crown 303fk Korean stick installed. I wish someone else would make a "straight" button layout instead of everything being viewlix or noir. Some of us grew up on american arcades and still prefer...

    Hitstop Poll

    For the benefit of the class (i.e. the old guy here not familiar with the term) can someone explain exactly what "hitstop" is? I'm assuming from the posts here it has to do with a super flash animation beginning and the opponent not being able to do anything but some clarification would be...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Hiyas. My name is PJ and I'm one of the old farts of the community I suppose. (was 40 last May) Been playing fighting games since twin-stick Karate Champ in the arcades, took about a 12 year hiatus (round the time SF3 was making it's rise) and just came back to playing them about a year ago to...

    Stanley Whitefin

    He looks pretty tall to me in the actual level. Cosplay looks fine the height it is imo.
