ElvenShadow

Wasn't a thread for this yet. Post up your gamertags. Mine is ElvenShadow. I think I saw an impostor name.... like elvenshadow with a bunch of numbers. Someone is pretending to be me.... don't be fooled.

Oh ok. Also, Jack-O' ghosts go away when she gets hit but do they remain if she blocks something?

Thanks for all the impressions King of Heart. You said the are allowing videos? Are you shooting any?

So King of Heart, aren't you at the loketest like usual? Any new/vids/etc?

Pot bonus announcement (can be found on frostyfaustings.com) All official tournament games at Frosty Faustings VII will use the same basic pot structure for payout. Each tournament requires $10 to enter from each player. The entry fee money is all pooled together into what is known as the prize pot. The standard payout is as follows: 1st place: 70% of total prize pot 2nd place: 20% of total prize pot 3rd place: 10% of total prize pot Some tournaments are having a guaranteed prize pot minimum. What does this mean? No matter how many players enter a tournament with a guaranteed minimum, that amount will be paid out to the winners even in the case that entry fee money is not sufficient to cover that amount. In the case that the prize pot exceeds the minimum guaranteed amount, the prize pot will grow proportionally beyond the minimum guarantee every time an additional person enters. Games with Guaranteed $1,000 minimum prize pots: Guilty Gear Xrd singles Ultra Street Fighter IV singles In addition to the prize pot, some games will offer pot bonuses! Pot bonuses are set amounts of money in addition to the prize pot and do not follow the same rules structure. These bonuses are specified as follows: Guilty Gear Xrd singles 1st place Champions bonus: $1,700 provided by @FrostyFaustings Guilty Gear Xrd singles 2nd place bonus: $200 provided by @FrostyFaustings Guilty Gear Xrd singles 3rd place bonus: $100 provided by @FrostyFaustings Ultra Street Fighter IV singles 1st place Champions bonus: $210 provided by @WillEnglishIV Ultra Street Fighter IV singles 2nd place bonus: $60 provided by @WillEnglishIV Ultra Street Fighter IV singles 3rd place bonus: $30 provided by @WillEnglishIV Under Night In-Birth: EXE Late 1st place bonus: $100 provided by I PLAY GAMES! @Kfair_IPG www.twitch.tv/Kfair_IPG Ultimate Marvel Vs.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we have decided to change the date to be one week earlier so it will now be January 24th, 2015. APEX and Ohayocon were both announced to be on January 31st and we wish to not conflict with other events to maximize attendance for all of them. I doubt anyone booked any flights yet so hopefully this does not have any negative effects.

Yep I'll be living in Chicago at that point

Aw man. I'll be gone by then. I don't know if I'd be able to visit around that time of year but I'll think about it.

Yo, I think I've gotta come for that Xrd money

Shinjuku Sportsland Xrd singles tourney from 6/13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa48FGeFqUo

You certainly CAN grab gold bursts on start up. Check the most recent Sportsland tourney footage once it comes out soon. I beat FAB and made it to grand finals where I fought 16dan Millia. Guess how I lost the very end of the final round?

By the way, how did the whole Macros banned (unless both players agree) situation work out for everyone?

Cool thanks for the heads up. Hope to see many of you at Frosty Faustings VI!

GG results?

Thanks for the heads up. I am going to wait until next weekend and see how that works out at NEC before posting an official stance on macros for Frosty Faustings VI.

Question: Is NEC banning macros for GGXXAC+R tournaments? There is a very abusable glitch that significantly changes the way the game is played and I am curious what the TOs have decided about this...

I am trying to think about upholding the integrity of the GG community. Honestly though... I dont even give a shit. If anyone wants to take me on using this stupid macros glitch, I am pretty damn sure I will wreck them anyway, because I know that any player who is worth jack shit and deserves any ounce of respect would never abuse something like this to begin with because winning using it would be a personal insult to their own selves and nothing would be achieved aside from cheapening the GG community over some bullshit.

it seems that any character can to some extent but baiken and justice have abusable shit that goes beyond what most of the cast can exploit using this glitch. I honestly would just love to believe that everyone would just forget this stupid bug exists because appearently it was around since regular AC console or something and no one just noticed it until now but I just want to prevent the scenario where some dude just decides to abuse the hell out of it and causes some major upset

OK so I just tested the Justice glitch again. You cannot do normals for the button of the missiles that are actively in play. You can have more than one of the same button missile out on the screen at the same time though which should not be possible since you have to hold down the button to keep the missile going before it explodes which is dumb. Essentially this glitch allows you to hold down one button and mash down down down down x 1000 to get an infinite missile pattern going with pretty much no gaps. Anyone who would actually want to rely on such a thing to win should not even be entering tournaments in the first place. I am no Baiken expert but I also can see how it would be useable for her too. I believe Hellmonkey said that it wasnt that bad though... Can you confirm this dude? Do you honestly think that Baiken doesnt get a significant advantage from being able to use this glitch? I am trying to think of how to be fair to most players in general. If I was to ban macros for Justice and Baiken only and make them allowed on pad only, do you all think that this is a viable solution?

Well actually, as I mentioned in another post... when I first started playing guilty gear, I started with GGX on dreamcast. I used pad. I only played against the computer because there was no scene. Flash forward a couple years later. I now am a stick player from learning how to play stick from Marvel 2 and CvS2. GGXX comes out and we start a Chicago scene. I had no idea about the proper button layout at the time so I played default pad config on a stick. After a few months of playing, I realized that this was not the proper default stick config, so I started learning with the proper config. I honestly would say that within one week, I was able to play about just as well with my new config and from then on it got more and more natural. So what I am saying is, is that learning a slightly different config is a minor inconvenience but honestly, you should be able to do it without that much effort. If I can do it, anyone can. I honestly am not trying to be a dick here and the last thing I want to do is discourage players from coming to Frosty Faustings. But.... I mean... you can see how abuse-able this glitch is right? I am not accusing you of being weak or a cheater or looking for an easy way out or ANYTHING like that. But the problem is, that if I make an exception for you and for someone else, then it means that I have to allow it for EVERYONE. What happens when some jackass decides to learn to abuse that shit and stats beating people under circumstances that in a REAL match under REAL conditions... he would have gotten destroyed? I just hope that you can see where I am coming from here.... I also have been primarily playing on the arcade version of GG for the past 6 years. Stuff like this in my mind just seems outright ridiculous to even consider being allowed! But I understand where you are coming from. So, I am HONESTLY asking you if it is really that out of the question to just try a new config. For the sake of fairness to everyone. You are not being put at a disadvantage by learning a new config. You still have the same buttons and options as everyone else as long as you get used to it before the next big tournament. BUT... if someone plays stick and uses no macros and then they fight some guy who plays on pad and DOES... and that guy (not you) happens to abuse some BS... isnt it way more unfair to the guy who legitimately trained really hard to be able to pull of legit stuff and loses to some jackass who wins by taking the easy way out and abuses something that shouldnt even be in the game in the first place? Seriously... I am trying to be reasonable here and I dont want the scene to become divided over this. I also dont want our scene being alienated from the Japanese scene by changing the entire mechanics of the game either. Oh and BTW, I still have not made a final decision on this so nothing is set in stone. I am still hearing everyone out.
