Well, I've gotten my arcade stick back yesterday from my previous apartment. I love where I'm current at now in new generation fighters. Each time I take time off the genre after so much sessions, I become better in observation to that and analysis of previous games of what or what not to do. I'll try to make time for fighting games in the future.

Its the anniversary of my mother's death, which means its also the anniversary of the great SRK blow up taht lead everybody to Megashock.

 

Happy MegaShock Day you buncha cunts.

Hm. I'm sorry for this. My mother, even if deceased 15 years ago, was my life growing up. She was more with unconditional substance and a kind hearted person in my family. So, I still mourn to this day about her. It took someone whom I've met several years ago that was in similar personality to mom to save my life. She's a little too much of her. It was unbearable at first, because love was always inconvenient for me since childhood.

I consider my lady bestie as carrying the torch for my mother, as support and love to keep me in line. 

I'll be versing one of the best Area players in Fighting Ex Layer Another Dash around 8pm CST from twitch, if you lot are interested. Hopefully, I can do just as good with this pad, but the arcade stick is a prime for me. We'll see, however. I'm approaching the final days of being involved with the FGC altogether, because me and bestie are planning for our future demanding business. So, she very much waivered my nihilism. I'm thankful for her.

I just downloaded. Not a biggest fan of EX but I just want to support Arika. While the visuals are clear downgrade the performance seems solid. At least on docked. Haven't tried portable mode.

Well, for it's worth, it has one of the best netcodes available, wired connection or not. Have fun.

Neat, Does the game still ahve that gougi system and all that? Or is it a brand new game after the patch?

The gougi system is removed on the Nintendo Switch version. The Ex run, Ex jump, and Ex illusion took it's place. The producer is still updating both games regardless, but kept it's respectful mechanics separate.

I didn't even realized Another Dash was out.

The release has been a few months for far. It's really addicting to play at times. 

Midwest's Best Blair Plays FEXL AD. !freesub Twitter @arneezy619 - Twitch

Fast forward to over 21 minutes. I was playing with Terry. He's very tough to deal with, his Blair, but I had a good time. There was a live exhibition matchup between another person that's one of the best I versus in August. He's awesome in prowess as well. The score ended with Xurkey winning 5 to 3, I believe? I need to adjust with not picking multiple characters from competitive standards again. So, I remember when I choose option select as primary again.

FEXL: ANOTHER DASH ONLINE MATCHES - FLIP DASH Z VS EMPTYEYES (THIRD ENCOUNTER) - YouTube

Watching this back then, I've learned alot. I was at level 16 the last time I've played, but players have elevated exponentially, which aided in the level I'm currently at now. Next year, I'll be streaming live gaming from now on, for the first time.

Off topic, but that's my favorite movie. LOL. I've song "Own My Own Alone" by Stan Bush to my bestie on my birthday. It was a thank you to her and what we went through together for the last couple years. We're lucky to be alive. ^_^

One of the best 1980s songs for me.

The last game session from FightCade was in SFIII 3rd Strike with someone. A 15 year hiatus, but the outcome was in my favor. 21 (22?) - 0, shockingly. However, I'm incredibly rusty regardless. 

DarkStalkers session outcome from FightCade, was 20 - 0, in the other person's favor. He commented me on being pretty competent, despite being absent from the series for close to 15 years. GGPO had a nice following back then. He wants me get back to par again. 

It would be difficult to get back to my prime in these games, but their not my favorite at all. 

Virtua Fighter 3 sessions, from an over 20 year hiatus, also ended with a favorable outcome.

Talk about no substance? You cast the first insult by asking if everyone can't be that stupid. It's literally in your post, with nothing to back it up. Don't come in here playing victim if you're throwing stones yourself. It makes you look ugly and dumb.

 

Nobody gives a shit you didn't get the vaccine, and you keep bringing it up is getting old as fuck.  Again, nobody fucking cares.

I agree. His view is equal to that of my brother from this very subject, which is unfortunate. No wonder I've cut that sibling out of my life for having consistent ego over substance. After all, he was always right in his mind and I was a deep pothole, black sheep. He couldn't even balance himself out in intellectuality either way. I couldn't deal with it anymore. 

LOL. My bestie have been pretty cringe lately. She called me a bulldagger acting trisexual and a possible grandma tranny. Talk about mood swings on her part. However, I'm not that offended by this, because she's bisexual especially. I think I'm a little bias for my community when they call each other derogatory terms in a less harmful sense, opposed to people outside of the community. 

However, I still love her anyway. XD 

Well, I've took part in my first live stream exhibition in Fighting Ex Layer Another Dash with a known player that I've versus with for sometime a while back. He's one of the best and the commentator set things up for us. I'm considered deceptively good now in that community, which is a bit flattering. LOL.

When I get back to the online play again, I just won't hold back anymore from that game and other fighting games, outside of events taking place of course. I've never liked that if you have a preference for random select, you have to stay with that character should you win. I just choose whoever, especially since learning a bunch of characters from a bunch of fighting games from the last two decades, the one sided matchups in the genre in combination to talented character knowledge and experience applied, helps balance things out for me in outcome as always.

I've always resonated with these songs. They've done a good job with their covers.

That's really interesting. How long did you play before you stopped?

Since the early to late 1990s competitively. A little off and on casually past that. However, considering the very popular chess app I've heard about a couple years prior, I've been retaking steps to revisit this. Hopefully, my interest span can be as it was in my greater youth. 

People were telling me at the time to don't discontinue chess, due to the decline of competition in my state, which I'm not boosting in anyway. I've originally wanted a career for this. Due to two of my sessions with one of the world's renowned players, I lost my motivation to keep going. Not that it matters, but we've traded wins, 1 each. However, maybe it did matter, as I knew he wanted me to see something as an individual. I gave everything I've had with him, because I was very demanding in finding meaning or purpose in my life through competitive matters of interpretation/communication of what the opponent and myself are thinking and feeling.

Since dominance wasn't it, hedonism and cynicism was something I could resonate with much later in life, but take no issue with being loved/cared for in return. While not the ideal way to live in perception of most people, but not everyone can live the standard life.

You were a chess guy for awhile? Interesting

Long before migrating to fighting games at the time, yes. There is so much intuition and knowing the quantity of the movements ahead by the rules. I'm a highly intuitive and too much of an analytical person (I don't like it LOL), but my over sensing and judgment very much edges out more favorable critical thinking for me at the same time. So, that's what drew me to chess at the very beginning.

Since Kenner Louisiana will take a while to recuperate after us state hurricane victims who like especially to go there for tournaments, I was thinking of revisiting fighting game tournaments again, but I could actually do the same with chess tournaments a few decades ago. A few years from now, it may actually be something worth investing in from a side hustle. 

I estimate the time of duration in which could un-rust me. In chess, I could see myself facing more grandmasters. However, the very first one in the 1990s, there was vital merit to be considered. I've learned alot from him, because the measure of self-worth by the endless pursuit of prowess versus another, was never for me. 

So, I guess I could have fun with that when the time comes. It's been over 20 years that I've had 1st place in anything. I'll see where the chips fall again. 

Other than Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting from activity, Weaponlord, Fatal Fury 3,  and Eternal Champions don't have much people from FightCade. Either way, the application served it's purpose as I'm not much into the genre as I use to be, but I'll use it still when the mood strikes me.

I'm just going to refer to steam for retro games, non-fighting related. However, I will buy ROBO OH as an exception. 

I'm not sure if this was posted.

On Sept 11, do you guys usually

 

a) just go only to work/school/appointments and mostly stay at home the rest of the day?

b) or go out like a regular day?

 

A For me. 

I'm always worried that another attack will happen somewhere in the US or Im scared that I will be harrassed or attacked by some people.

(For those who don't know, a Sikh was dragged and beaten to death because some folks thought he was Muslim.)

Tch. Oh lord. My messy dad on this day is trying to get my bestie to turn on me earlier this morning. Since he knew her long before I came back on his life, only to turn his back on me yet again, his plan is to have her to abandon me, because he felt I disrespected him severely over the phone days ago. So, I'm pissed at him again. 

I mean, yes, I called him by his first name, cussed many times, said fuck him, told him that I won't go to his funeral if he dies before me, but guess what? Since he manipulated me financially costing me thousands of dollars, and attempted multiple false felony arrests on me to where it backed fired on him, I needed to separate myself from this unfavorable bloodline. He say that he doesn't owe me anything, which is fine, but I no longer owe him any love nor respect either. 

He was called out for being a narcissist, which even I have much of his ways. However, the fact that he would try to lecture me on things that he is guilty of also, and would use his bible to manipulate others into thinking he is some stand up guy, it sucks to be those that fell for or let him slide for this.

I'll never forgive him for what he's done. If he dies, he dies.

Unfortunately, I don't think that I could go through this anymore. Enough of my family died from covid, even with taking the vaccine. One of my cousins were pregnant, took the vaccine, and was hospitalized 3 days later with the sick unborn child. I've had heavy brain fog and temporary elevated memory problems this year, but this is prior to my childhood. It took a while to remember things about myself and others. Either way, we're just tired of it, as we rather take our chances without it.

If anything I've said has helped you, then you're welcome.  It took me a while and the constant help of friends to finally turn away from the bottle.  It's one of the few things that I really and truly don't wish upon others since I know what it's like and how bad it can get.  Nobody realizes how deep the bottle is until they're climbing out of it.

Definitely. The person that I use to associate myself with, she and I had a very emotional moment after the hurricane's aftermath. She hugged me saying that "never think you're alone". She always had her weight to carry in life with molestation and sexual assault. So, she uses alcohol and drugs to numb. However, it was to the point last week, when she said that she have been doing this for so long to where the high and drunkness is no longer to her satisfaction. So, she questioned, what alternatives can she do to numb it? 

The best I did at the time was to comfort her, especially because she was diagnosed with a deadly cancer recently. She wants me to acknowledge other people by living as she feels I should live, before we stopped talking to each other. 

Even though I was diagnosed with essential hypertension a little recently, a genetic issue, I especially had to drop hard liquor, considering I could have lost my life to a blood pressure crisis on July 1. It took me months later to consider what others may feel about me leaving this life. So, while I'm still very dependent on living for other people, it makes me feel better about my existence. They are just worth it to me.

Ah.  Hello again.  I didn't know you were down here too.  Obviously, you made it out alive and some of the people in your life showed their true colors at a time of peril.  Thankfully, those colors were good ones.  

 

My friend here is finally getting his power back.  He had to stay with me until then which I was more than happy to do.  Unfortunately, he found out something he probably wishes he hadn't.  

 

1:  I don't have cable.

2:  I can and WILL kill everything in the galaxy for hours.  He found out about the Empire of Ammo.  He now knows that when The Empire is in town.................. EVERYBODY GETS SHOT!!

3:  He has now been exposed to YouTube.  The corruption of another soul is now complete.

That's really something, about acting on one's humanity. Because of those two women, as important as they are to me, I can't even drink most of the time anymore. Perhaps there was more to what you, King AYO, and Chadouken, were trying to convince me months ago about alcoholism. I was unable to see the points directed to me at the time. 

Anyway, I'm more at peace with sobriety, for now. A very foreign feeling, but I'll take it. For what it's worth, thank you to the three of you.

Jokes aside, I am worried for them.  I remember going down there possibly six months after Katrina hit.  It was SO damn fucked up even after clean up and the ride down there was damn near haunting.  Here's hoping that the boot doesn't get kicked this time.

It's very rough here, but it's a reminder that even I need people to have my back, which that's been established recently. I've actually endured that hurricane, being without power, heat exhaustion for days, and having to be on guard, which I was never armed nor biologically fit to do. My manager is closing the apartment building that I've lived in for an undisclosed amount of time, due to unlivable conditions. 

My bestie and girlfriend, while they were responsible from wavering my perspective on life by never agreeing with it, they've showed me love while others never did, before and after this hurricane's aftermath. Admirable.

But being able to play the game you love with other people that love it is the best feeling in this scene.

I agree.  I must thank you months ago for encouraging me to refer to FightCade, having to spend alot of time on GGPO in 2006 to 2008. FightCade saved me the trouble from further retail therapy on new generation fighters. While Fighting Ex Layer Another Dash and Virtua Fighter are fun enough, but 1980s and 1990s fighting games will forever have me.
