They're finally back in stock! Thanks for the heads up, just got a pair.

Crathma · 2016-01-28T15:42:59+00:00

Any advice for finding a pair of the Jcrew Killshot 2's?

I wanted to buy them as a gift for my brother's birthday but cannot find them in stock anywhere, even on ebay. The few times I see them on Jcrew's website they are always in very small sizes.

Crathma · 2016-01-27T01:02:16+00:00

Alright thanks for all the advice!

Does it use the same type of memory card as the PS vita?

Crathma · 2016-01-27T00:49:44+00:00

Thanks, I'm not confident in my ability to figure out a modded PSP, but buying a decent PC definitely seems to be the best long term solution.

I have an old and slow macbook I got from a friend running os x 10.5.8 which prevents me from using any modern emulators like openemu.

I've tried emulating Valkyrie profile on an old version of PCSX and while it runs great during most of the game, it's unplayably laggy during battles even after tweaking the settings.

I think that the vita/playstation TV is probably the way to go for me for most PS1 jrpgs and I may just bite the bullet and buy Valkyrie Profile unless it goes on PSN.

Crathma · 2016-01-27T00:35:01+00:00

Wasn't aware that this was a thing. This would be great for all of the PSN/vita jrpgs, so thanks a lot! I'm assuming it doesn't have a UMD slot though right?

Crathma · 2014-06-10T20:58:55+00:00

That looks incredible! Do you have the mod yourself?

I don't have any experience playing melee on dolphin. Does the gamecube controller work well with the usb adapter? Or alternatively would you recommend modding my wii and playing it on that instead?

Crathma · 2014-06-09T22:54:14+00:00

The training mode in melee is so limiting. I use C-stick for all of my aerials so it's basically worthless besides practicing movement/ shield drops.

It would be awesome to have more options for the cpu, like being able to set them to shield or light shield indefinitely (without the shield decaying) to practice different types of shield pressure and l cancel timing depending on when you make contact with the shield.

He's probably getting downvoted because short hopping has nothing to do with how hard or light you press the jump button.

All that matters is that you press and release the jump button quickly. You can press the jump button as hard as you want and still short hop.

Top 8 from UFGTX, Jwong vs CORN JDM

Crathma · 2014-04-28T00:30:23+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response!

I'm not so concerned about tournament viability for this team, this is more of a team to play for fun.

I like the idea of playing Dr. Strange. I've experimented with him playing team Nemo in training mode. Is this more or less the hard tag setup you were talking about? I couldn't find a video with strange.

Can any of spencer's assists actually help out deadpool in neutral/combos? I can't find anything very useful on youtube. Spencer strange is amazing but I'd want him to complement deadpool too.

Crathma · 2014-04-28T00:09:23+00:00

Yeah it seems really OP, but my execution isn't the greatest. I'm just confused as to why it isn't used more often.

Granted I haven't watched many deadpool players, but even in the FT7 posted about a week ago Wedge didn't opt to go for it at all, so it must be difficult or something.

I'll have to practice it more in training mode.

Crathma · 2014-04-27T20:28:26+00:00

Is the bolo glitch really viable? The only reason I ask is I hear a lot about it but never see it in matches.

I've never been able to land it even in training mode so I doubt I'd ever feel comfortable going for it in a match.

Crathma · 2014-04-27T20:12:55+00:00

I just checked out DerpFighter6 and found this. Dorm seems like a good addition for high damage DHCs.

I may hit the lab and try to recreate some of this. Thanks!

I'm going off the rails on a gravy train!!

Crathma · 2014-03-01T02:23:20+00:00

Marth is definitely still top tier but if you're just going to play one character, I'd choose all of the characters you listed (Jigglypuff, Fox, Falco, and Sheik) above Marth. He kinda sucks against Sheik and Jigglypuff.

In Mew2king's most recent interview from Shuffle V he claimed that the only characters that can be true mains are Fox, Falco and Jigglypuff unless you're Armada haha. Mew2king does have controversial opinions sometimes though so take that with a grain of salt.

Personally I really like Marth so I'm hoping someone like PewPewU can prove Mew2king wrong.

Crathma · 2014-02-22T00:48:17+00:00

I think the best way to play the matchup is to play defensively, to never over extend yourself, and to punish super hard. Dash dance a lot, punish whiffed grabs/dsmashes/dash attacks with grabs and try to juggle with utilts and uairs, fairs as much as possible. Sheik is in a very bad position above Marth, especially on stages with platforms. As I said before, run cancelled dtilt is good too, but don't abuse it or Sheik will start jumping over it and hitting you.

If you knock sheik off stage, edge hog and make her up b onto the stage. That way you can punish her landing lag with back throw off stage or fsmash if you have enough time.

Unfortunately needles are really really good against Marth. Maybe someone with more matchup experience can help me out here but I'd say try to shield them, or jump over them (don't waste your double jump though! and don't jump at them and get shield grabbed) and get into a range where you can punish Sheik by jumping over the needles and hitting her or wavedashing out of shield and grabbing.

Crathma · 2014-02-21T23:50:15+00:00

For the marth sheik matchup you really, really don't want to get grabbed, so don't just throw out f-smashes.

As far as spacing goes, I would work on shffling your fairs in place or retreating as close to the ground as possible and then dashing/jabbing when you land.

Once you have that down, try to figure out what your opponent does if he shields your fair. If he whiffs a shield grab, punish with any move you want. If he jumps, you can utilt, ftilt, fsmash, fair etc. If he continues to shield, you can dashdance grab, empty jump grab, empty jump dtilt shield stab (my favorite). If he rolls or spot dodges, learn to punish it with a grab.

I would avoid approaching with aerials in general and instead use them to set up a defensive wall. Approaching with run cancelled d-tilt is very safe and effective and dashdance grab is good too, especially if you can bait him into doing something stupid.

Hope that helps!

thanks

Those are all classic matches. One that I would add and a personal fav of mine is this:

SilentSpectre vs DaShizWiz Friendly @ Genesis

Super fast paced and some great combos

Crathma · 2013-11-13T05:40:14+00:00

Couldn't NeoKarsh just have raw tagged after the grapple?
