[November 18, 2016] United Norcal Dogfight (GGXRDR/BBCF/UNIEL) - Belmont, CA

[brett_]

just a reminder that we will be running another Beginners Tournament. Because of some point escalation, we will still be generally be suggesting only people under 1500RR, but with some exceptions on a case by case basis (no on dakanya / tsubasa / chainer etc, yes on smiles, angelofhope, etc).

We're also going to be doing our final Gundam EXVS Vanilla tournament before moving onto FB, so now is your last chance to show your stuff in this current version!

And here are the updated NCD rankings:

cool, see you there

[Dakanya]

I'm sorry to announce that the GG Beginners' Tourny will be cancelled, it'll be at Cali Burst instead due to scheduling conflicts w/ Gundam m(__)m

[Tari]

So, even though there's no beginner tourney tomorrow... can I still enter those tourneys?

[brett_]

@tari: it depends honestly on who's in the tourney, but most likely not (if you're talking about beginners tournaments)

[Tari]

Ah, sadness. Oh well.

Some people have PM'd me if they wanted to ban Kokonoe, so here's my answer:

No.

Unless the majority is telling me to ban her, No.

Will bring it up on caliburst/next dogfight.

Edit:

I am not the best public speaker, so work with me here:

I am a fan taking the communities overall opinions, and I did, but it is split too much, asking everyone in who comes to dogfight about it, its basically just a tie with 9 for banning, 9 for not banning, and 6 who don't care.

But talking with people said it should also be the TO's ultimate decision

I don't agree with the ban myself, and if the votes were much more convincing to me that this character is ban worthy i would end up supporting it. I think this is the most fair way. Top player or not, everyone who shows up to shit matters here.

Sorry for any inconveniences that people might have felt, hopefully the drama ends settling down up here.

keep it civil though, this is a regional thread

tl;dr

Kokonoe isn't banned.

[Dakanya]

[Meowmix]

What kind of a turnout is GG getting nowadays? Also, do people still play Aquapazza or is that game dead?

[ehuangsan]

Both are very active.

Aquapazza is very serious business in NorCal.

[Meowmix]

Are you guys meeting every Saturday now? I'm usually busy with work or other prior obligations, but I'd like to try to make it out to this once in a blue moon at least.

Also who's a good assist for Sasara?

Also who's a good assist for Sasara?

1st Saturday: CaliBurst

2nd Saturday: Guilty Beer

3rd Saturday: Norcal Dogfight

4th Saturday: Guilty Beer

It's been following this pattern recently, though Guilty Beer dates aren't set in stone

[Dakanya]

The next Dogfight will be on March 22nd, not March 15th. Mark your calendars!

[ehuangsan]

Ma-Ryan is far and above the best assist for Sasara. It isn't even close.

[Meowmix]

Ma-Ryan is far and above the best assist for Sasara. It isn't even close.

Yeah, I played a session of it today using Ma-Ryan and suddenly everything felt safe.

So, what's the deal with Chizuru? Is she petshop-tier or actually manageable in some cases?

[ehuangsan]

So, what's the deal with Chizuru? Is she petshop-tier or actually manageable in some cases?

She is more than managable. More like AC Eddie tier.

She definitely has a lot of exploitable weaknesses.

Her dominance is mostly in her ability to delete other characters' options and limit the scope of safe moves, which can make playing against her rather frustrating as you basically need to play with higher precision against her.

[Meowmix]

She is more than managable. More like AC Eddie tier.

I was mostly curious as, looking around, it seems she was banned/soft banned from a lot of tournaments, and most match-up analyses say she's nigh-unstoppable against anyone but herself and Tamaki.

On a side note, does anyone ever play this game on PSN, or is the netcode too poverty?
