Amperture

Is Bridget gay?

I've seen the word "Abare" defined like 3 times in this forum, however, every single time was either a joke, or vague enough that I still didn't get it. tl;dr define abare for me

Sorry if this has already been noted. Either I'm on drugs or Chipp's shurikens have changed from j236k to j214k. (Edit: Even worse, it's j214p after checking in training mode) Also, are there printer-friendly versions of these?

Since we're doing color schemes...My three characters.

Okay, so I held off a bit on playing a bit after my last post because I bought a new pad, waiting for it to come in, just been writing down some more combos and getting basic movement on my old d-pad down. First of all, got a question, I'm going to assume that most tourneys in the US use the PS2 version of GG? If so is it legal to use those multi-key binds I find in the "Key Config" Menu? Specifically the bind that lets me do an RC with a single button? I find it much easier to just slam my left index on L2 then to entirely reposition my right hand to hit the top 3 keys with my thumb, then reposition them again to continue the combo. Another question, after I got my pad in I did a few dry runs in Training mode and noticed something odd, every once in awhile (by that I mean roughly half the time) when I would RC Chipp's 236p, instead of stopping dead on the ground, he goes flying upwards across the screen......is this normal?

Well, I dunno about competitive spirit. See we both have a history in competitive games. Just that his game was a team game (CS) while I'm a little more used to being on my fucking own and having to learn shit the hard way. I play Quake 1v1.

From what I've seen so far, I take it this is the "shoot the shit among Chipp players" thread? Hope so, at least. Complete fresh meat player, here. Not only is AC my first GG, but also my first fighter at all where I bothered to play without button mashing. Was told by doomscyther to come and start posting in my intended main character's forum just to get to know the people and let them get to know me. Seemed odd but ok. Since I don't have any meaningful input or serious questions yet, I guess I'll just start with what I've done and what I know so far, if anyone sees any major flaws in my data that won't be fixed naturally by trial and error please correct me if you can. Live around the Texarkana/Longview, TX area (Apparently I'm near Kensou? Like a 2 hour drive or something?), bought AC on the 15th and played an all-night session with a buddy, who's also a fresh meat. After about an hour of play I came to the conclusion that Chipp was all about straight aggression and pressure. If I wasn't on the offensive against my buddy (playing as Ky), I was fucked. I also fell a lot to him doing a single move over an over, Ky's 6H. Sooner or later I learned how to actually block or get around it and I began dominating with a single combo, I apologize if I'm about to fuck up my notation: starting with a jump-in crossup jH, then s©, s(f), then either 236s, 236s, or 2h, js, jh. Eventually the aforementioned buddy rage quit on me after I beat him 20 in a row. I think I'll be able to convince him to suck it up and play again eventually though. Note, this all happened before I came here to gather some resources and info on Chipp and how GG plays in general. So now I've entered the learning and research process. I've been writing down everything I can find that's relevant, combos, moves, frames, etc. Yes, on paper. I find that I learn things better when I physically write it. Little brown notebook. By the way, I want you fuckers (all GG players) to know I've got 3 pages written on Notation and Terminology alone. So far the biggest thing I've learned is that my combo from earlier is apparently disgustingly inefficient. Been practicing executing a few of the combos posted here in Training Mode. Guess I'll close it up for now. Oh, and Kensou, hope you don't mind me holla'n at you later for maybe some more direct help. Heard good things from doomscyther about you.
