Also good luck to tricky and even pit on there bout tomorrow .

Sounds good to me too.

I want to see this!

The "JWong Killer" Blackula vs. The "ShoutBox Killer" Libertine. LOL

Jokes aside it should be a pretty even fight. Time to place your bets.

Well, that monkey mirrors went like i predicted i was hoping for a closer match, but i felt like pit's only chance at taking a game off of tricky would be to use wolf and run the the Chief Flash "Playbook".

Playbook=After chief flash introduced the grape room, suddenly online wolf's doubled and surprisingly all were attempting to do chief flash's exact mix-up games, lol.


Nice playing tricky, that was a nasty rush down.

Don't hang your head evenpit. Even if the set wasn't close, there was certainly some close games in there. Wish you woulda used your wolf. I'd have liked to see how you did using your strongest.

@Xsocial_ruinX yes BOPPED is what I got. 2 bd I couldn't make it interesting this time around but look forward to the runback @Tricky. As for Wolf I just have a flowchart with him nothing deeper than that at least I don't think so? maybe I have to use Wolf next time then.
Looking forward to next weeks tho the Brads of PSN should be something to watch.

@EvenPit if we can switch off the mirror in our runback you'll be seeing other cast members from me too .

NOOOOOOOO Don't use lazy Wolf!

Stick with Eileen LOL. Get your fundamentals down and work on conditioning. Evenpit, your a big boy now you need to stop respecting Tricky. Not saying be a bad sport or a jerk, but just get in there beat his ass and move on to the next guy. Everyone gets blown up in there first big FT10 and Tricky is a veteran now. It was a pretty one-sided fight. Just watch the fight and learn from your mistakes.

Pretty much everything I said in the post match talk.

Lazy_Wolf= my new psn ID

Not directed at anyone in particular.

One note i'd make on using Lazy Wolf (Lazy any character with gimicky flow charts that work well):

You can play for a long long time and not get any real improvement at the core game.

Listening to the post-game chat up. Read/skip as much of the post as you want. It is a wall of text.

My thoughts:

1. STL Tim seems like a cool guy. I wish you were that guy when you played--instead of sending rude messages

Two. (So tired of using a laptop with a non-working two key lol). I agree that there needs to be more teachers in the community. It's a tough thing to do though, as it is a largely thankless job. Further complimented by the fact it's a tremendous amount of effort, and usually about 10 people at most even care lol.

3. Completely disagree with Shiny's take on evenpits mindset going into the game. If shiny feels like he needs to (himself) be hyped to kick ass and dominate then that is what he himself needs. If evenpit knows himself and knows he plays best with a clear and respectful demeanor, then that should be his focus. Personally, i play best if i can avoid emotion and always focus on blocking those damn lows. Nothing gets me in a groove like emotionlessly shutting down my opponents attack.

4. Switching to stick...PISH POSH, Hit BOX baby. Evolve or die! <3

5. Tricky doesn't like throwing you. Throw is my favorite move!

6. Particularly agreed with analysis saying evenpit needed more evade. Of course, easy for me to say as a bystander.

7. "Online is fun and it's what we got." Loose quote of Shiny. It is all we got (some of us). I feel like veterans of our community should respect this a bit more. I've never had a 'scene' to play offline. Exactly. Some of us, Online is what we got. Don't hate us for it. I would love love love to have a crew like the NYC crew and then be strutting around because i was sharpened into a dominant VF machine...instead i have online with a shifty inconsistent frame adv/disadv and wonky hit boxes. Gotta love it when phantom foot connects with phantom jaw for massive damage. (don't even get me started on lei's 1p+k and it's magical star wars FORCE launches or brad's unpunishable knees, or i wonder if offline goh's K sabaki is countered 50% of the time with KICK...this shit drive me nuts and takes me right out of my emotionless state of mind). All that being said, i feel like players with great offline opportunities should be thankful of how fortunate they are and not resent/begrudge online players their bad habits. A dog can be made to salivate to a bell. An online player can be conditioned to do some funny things.

8. Shiny post up that high dmg combo vs eileen lol. I find using goh online in laggy games to be torturous at times. I try and pick and choose my spots economically with him, and with his lack of tracking strings i can get steamrolled by string-happy quick characters. I just generally feel online play is beneficial to that style. Thoughts?

9. Completely agree with Tim's wight class category. I do think everyone should move at the same speed. I think jumping attack (7,8,9G) feel like they are currently implemented unfinished. They are a needed gameplay mechanic in a two dimensional fighter, and thusly you have 'anti-air'. In VF they are air attacks, but there is no real anti-air game. They can factor heavily into Oki game, and yet all oki game based air detection style moves could have been covered within the frame work of what we already had in VF (like lau's low p crushing jump attack or lei fei 66k+K). Lastly on FS i really feel like weight based damage (damage taken) is something that is being held on to in its current form that doesn't really fit with the rest of the game. It does not feel like wolf takes less damage from combos was used to balance...anything. It feels like just a quirk of the character. I mean we have bounces, bounds, launches, and all this crap but we need to realistically depict how high wolf floats on an uppercut...but people don't float in the air when they are uppercut in real life so if wolf floats as high as eileen then so what. I do feel like weight classes unfairly punishes lightweights. It has a ridiculous side effect of hurting middleweights as these are the 'default' combos you learn because most the cast is middle-ish weight. Heavy weights take the least damage, yet it is not used to balance them. Also heavy weights are such niche combos that heavies benefit from playing really good players who don't know what combos work on them. All in all it has become a bit of a disaster, albeit not a game breaking disaster, but a poor game design disaster that should have been "more ironed out".


If anyone is wondering, i really suck at the game now days So take what i say for what it is, the musings of a huge vf fan who plays it mediocre.

On number 3 Social you totally missed my point. Evenpit idealizes Tricky. The thing is Evenpit knows the match up or I think knows it. I was telling him that so maybe he would be like "Hey I could take out Tricky" or "Yeah. He isn't that great" Instead of putting him on a pedestal, but as you saw he didn't think that way and well you saw the results .

Social A FT10 or a Tourney is a mental game as well. When you enter the match you are not friends. You have to go in there with the intent on killing your opponent. Like I said in the last post you don't have to be a jerk or a bad sport. Just go in there shake hands, win the match, and move on to the next fight. After the match have fun, say good games win or lose, and hell have the beer with a guy, but when that bell rings play time is over.

Have you ever watch a prefight boxing interview? If so have you ever seen a boxer when asked "Who do you think will win between you and your opponent?" Say "Yeah I'm get to get beat." or "I don't know". The answer is Never! Watch the prefight interview between Tricky and Evenpit. They were asked that question.
Evenpit says "Maybe" While Tricky pretty much says "He is going to get worked"

Anyway good games to Evenpit and Tricky. This fight will lvl Evenpit up at least 20 times and well Tricky you got to look good on stream.

Precisely Shiny that is why runback time comes Im using lazy_Wolf, because there is no idolizing bond there like with Eileen vs Eileen. I dont care with Wolf, 'oh shake Wolf's P+K guard break?' "does it twice". Or 'fails to connect Wolf's 62K?' "does it 3 times in a row" Burning hammer at the start of a round? "why not?" 4 stright 9P+K's until one hits? "yes" . Darthminion low punch barrage? "go for it". Much more dirty with wolf I like to play because he feels so dominate against especially Eileen.
