A typical loli. He collects them.
Tim oniisan says:
yo
Tim oniisan says:
man, sorry bout that
Tim oniisan says:
my comp just crashed
Tokaro says:
oh it's ok
Tokaro says:
but yeah, so what's new in the MB scene? Is Actress Again on everyone's minds?
Tim oniisan says:
yeah, we've been pretty worried about how the introduction of the guard guage and guard breaking will affect the game
Tim oniisan says:
but the inclusion of the different moon styles and new characters have us pretty hyped
Tokaro says:
yeah, a buddy of mine is worried that the moon styles will really change the style of the game
Tokaro says:
turn it into 3s with SA's or like IAMP
Tim oniisan says:
well, from what we've gleaned from the scant info about the location test they did, the styles seem heavily different
Tim oniisan says:
and one of them seems pretty impractical for anyone but beginners
Tokaro says:
like....EO ism?
Tim oniisan says:
EO?
Tim oniisan says:
sorry, I'm blanking on that
Tokaro says:
Capcom vs SNK 2
Tokaro says:
Easy Operation ISM is an ISM that allows one button supers and junk like that
Tokaro says:
but I hate CvS2, so back to MB
Tim oniisan says:
ah
Tim oniisan says:
yeah
Tokaro says:
but it's essentially a scrub mode?
Tokaro says:
this Moon Style
Tim oniisan says:
well, I don't know about one button supers
Tim oniisan says:
but it does auto heat and some other shit
Tim oniisan says:
basically scrub mode, yeah
Tim oniisan says:
that's the waxing moon style
Tim oniisan says:
crescent moon is basically how the game plays now, and full moon is huuugely different
Tim oniisan says:
from the sounds of it
Tim oniisan says:
you can charge up super bar and you can no longer reverse beat in combos
Tim oniisan says:
and the attacks are generally supposed to be longer range and stronger, I guess
Tim oniisan says:
some of the info is kind of confusing, since we don't have a solid translation on it all
Tim oniisan says:
but it seems pretty interesting so far
Tokaro says:
hmm hmm, I think these styles may open up the MB scene, bring in some other players. What say you?
Tim oniisan says:
I certainly hope so
Tim oniisan says:
MB hasn't really gotten the sudden jump in scene like Arcana did, for example, but we've been steadily growing up to something that people are finally taking notice of
Tim oniisan says:
and with this new addition and the opening on potentially new ways to play, hopefully it'll attract a lot of interest
Tokaro says:
mhmm mhmm
Tokaro says:
well how about the players, what kind of players does MB attract?
Tim oniisan says:
hmm, that's kind of tough to answer
Tim oniisan says:
we've had people jump ship from other similar fighters out there such as GG or Arcana, but we also attract a lot of anime fans and such since the game is tied in with Tsukihime
Tim oniisan says:
and the players are kind of different depending on what coast you're on, as well
Tokaro says:
so eroge game otaku haha
Tim oniisan says:
haha
Tokaro says:
yeah I hear that
Tim oniisan says:
some of em, yeah
Tokaro says:
haha
Tim oniisan says:
I'm more familiar with the west coast crew
Tim oniisan says:
since I'm over here in vegas
Tokaro says:
like Arlieth and those folks?
Tim oniisan says:
yup
Tim oniisan says:
but I got to meet a decent amount of east coasters during last Evo
Tim oniisan says:
since I was one of the guy's housing people for the event
Tim oniisan says:
*guys
Tokaro says:
that's cool
Tim oniisan says:
yeah, it was fun. I'd like to go out for one of the bigger east coast tourneys one day
Tim oniisan says:
but being a year round college student doesn't allow for many breaks that work into that
Tim oniisan says:
haha
Tokaro says:
that's what the lottery is for.
Tim oniisan says:
pssh, I wish
Tokaro says:
hahaha
Tokaro says:
So how about your tourney experiences?
Tokaro says:
who have you played, what have you learned, etc.
Tim oniisan says:
My tourney experiences are somewhat limited due to not having the easiest access to any of the major ones
Tim oniisan says:
cept Evo, I guess
Tim oniisan says:
the vegas scene is pretty nonexistant
Tim oniisan says:
but, for the ones I have gone to, it's been real fun
Tim oniisan says:
I always end up improving my game a lot just over the couple days around them
Tim oniisan says:
I've played most of the best from SoCal, NorCal, and Arizona
Tim oniisan says:
and a few from East Coast
Tim oniisan says:
You should see Arly when he gets into tourney mode
Tim oniisan says:
haha
Tim oniisan says:
fuckin gets all 3s parry happy
Tim oniisan says:
shielding everything
Tokaro says:
lol man, don't judge 3s based on his parry madness XD
Tim oniisan says:
haha
Tokaro says:
I've seen him shield Aoko's C beam or whatever
Tim oniisan says:
yeah, lol
Tim oniisan says:
he can prolly shield Warc's EX blood rings
Tim oniisan says:
that shit is...a lot of hits
Tokaro says:
I tried once
Tokaro says:
I had the first 7 hits and then crapped out
Tim oniisan says:
nice
Tokaro says:
I also dashed through it with Kouma's command dash
Tokaro says:
but Warakia doesn't have any hit boxes during that crap
Tim oniisan says:
lol
Tokaro says:
so I couldn't do squat
Tim oniisan says:
ah
Tim oniisan says:
yeah
Tim oniisan says:
sucks
Tim oniisan says:
usually you can still throw though
Tim oniisan says:
with that kind of thing
Tokaro says:
my buddy is a fierce Warakia player though
Tim oniisan says:
like Aoko's arc drive
Tokaro says:
I play MB like 3s, that's my prob
Tim oniisan says:
can't hit her out of it, but you can throw her out of it
Tokaro says:
hahaha yeah
Tim oniisan says:
ah
Tim oniisan says:
yeah
Tim oniisan says:
definitely don't play the same
Tim oniisan says:
I can play MB decently, but my 3s skills are SHAMEFUL
Tim oniisan says:
lol
Tokaro says:
yeah man, no relation
Tim oniisan says:
anyway, did my response for the final round question ever get through?
Tokaro says:
3s is a very grounded game
Tokaro says:
nope
Tim oniisan says:
yeah, definitely
Tokaro says:
sure didn't
Tim oniisan says:
ah
Tim oniisan says:
well
Tim oniisan says:
I guess brandino was talking mad shit and waving around his $100 MM like he had it in the bag
Tim oniisan says:
but Choco somehow steps up to his ultimate best whenever a MM is concerned
Tim oniisan says:
and he took that shit with a strong victory
Tim oniisan says:
and as for the results of the tourney itself
Tim oniisan says:
everyone who was in the top 8 are all mad good, so they definitely deserve it
Tim oniisan says:
Jiyuna needs to lay of the drinks when he plays though, lol
Tim oniisan says:
he might've been able to pull first or second if he wasn't drunk
Tim oniisan says:
even though I've heard he plays just as well when drunk
Tim oniisan says:
are people at SRK taking more notice with the big money being thrown around these past few tourneys?
Tokaro says:
I'm not sure
Tokaro says:
sometimes it seems like it but then these matches just get one upped
Tim oniisan says:
mm, yeah
Tim oniisan says:
well, our eventual goal is to get big enough that we can get enough notice to catch a spot in Evo 08 or 09
Tokaro says:
yeah that'll be tough
Tokaro says:
but here's hoping
Tim oniisan says:
and as of right now, with how much we've grown just in the past year, 09 doesn't really look out of the question
Tim oniisan says:
but we'll see
Tim oniisan says:
Actress Again could make or break it
Tokaro says:
yeah but it may go the way of Accent Core
Tokaro says:
one tourney then revert to the norm next year
Tokaro says:
but I think MB would be a great addition to Evo
Tim oniisan says:
shit, my messages are getting error'd out
Tokaro says:
now I'm wondering, what kind of advice could you give to up and comers in MB?
Tim oniisan says:
Evo08 we should pick up a lot of notice again, if we get a showing as big (and prolly bigger) than last year's. it's hard not to be noticed when you've got a non-official tourney with more players than one of the official ones
Tim oniisan says:
sorry, I tried saying that earlier, but it didn't get through
Tim oniisan says:
anyway, to up and comers
Tim oniisan says:
netplay netplay netplay
Tim oniisan says:
the current netplay is real good and when you take a look at some like Brandino, who's one of the best Ciel players in the US right now; the majority of his MB experience is purely netplay due to where he lives
Tim oniisan says:
so getting out there on that netplay is essential for getting in play against a lot of people outside of your area
Tim oniisan says:
other than that, keeping up on stuff at the meltybread.com forums is really helpful
Tim oniisan says:
basically the whole MB scene is on there, so getting advice is easy
Tokaro says:
well thank you man
Tokaro says:
thank you for your time
Tim oniisan says:
thanks for the interview
Tokaro says:
oh yeah, so what's with the name lolisauce?
Tim oniisan says:
hahaha
Tokaro says:
likem the lolis?
Tim oniisan says:
you betcha
Tim oniisan says:
straight criminal
Tim oniisan says:
lol
Tokaro says:
cover your tracks man
Tokaro says:
don't jizz on the face
Tokaro says:
hahahaha
Tim oniisan says:
haha
Tokaro says:
I can't believe I just said that
Tim oniisan says:
so what's the interview for, btw?
Tokaro says:
a blog
Tokaro says:
I do interviews with players and stuff
Tim oniisan says:
cool
Tim oniisan says:
can I catch a link?
Tokaro says:
I also do a crappy podcast
Tokaro says:
yeah I'll link you
Tim oniisan says:
I'll have to show it to one of my friends when you put up mine, lol
Tim oniisan says:
what all games do you interview for?
Tokaro says:
not like I'm the most notable person
Tokaro says:
mostly 3s but I interview for MvC2, GGXX, MB, HnK, alot of stuff
Tokaro says:
pretty much any and all fighting games
Tim oniisan says:
cool
Tokaro says:
as long as I can get in touch with the person
Tim oniisan says:
yeah
Tim oniisan says:
that's pretty dope
Tim oniisan says:
what got you wanting to interview me? Although I'm prominent in the community, I'm not exactly one of the top players. haha
Tokaro says:
I thought you would be a good person to interview because you AREN'T a mega player, I could get more of a human response from you than some pro.
Tim oniisan says:
mm
Tokaro says:
I think you have a real knowledge of the game as well as the scene
Tokaro says:
that's why
Tokaro says:
and I appreciate that you'd allow me to interview
