Me, Isaac and Jimmy are running a half hour late. Totally my fault.

Build a time machine.

There's no fast way to turn them off, and even after you do, they can turn back on and interfere with subsequent matches at your last station. You can fix that if you open it up with a screwdriver and disconnect the battery so that it only works while plugged-in, but I don't know whether that...

As others have said, the Madison community hold frequent tournaments, usually on Saturday nights, at a Chinese restaurant on the far east side of town. Join this Facebook group, and you'll get invitations to all our future events: https://www.facebook.com/groups/9907214323/ Attendance is usually...

I'm excited that Nightmare's 66B is buffed, and Dampierre got nothing but two buffs including one to his CE. Of my two mains, one banned would-be main, and four dabbling characters, the only things that got nerfed are things that I'm willing to admit were nasty. Lots of SC players, especially...

Tweets from Kayane today:

Still finding stuff. Nightmare considers Soul Calibur wielders his only competition, and he calls Z.W.E.I. a werewolf.

Updated again with Raphael 66A+G, more conversations for several known acquaintances, plus a handful of informational footnotes. I have been testing all of these, too. Mitsu's varying grapple lines are on B+G, not A+G. Also, the mods decided to help us out by moving this thread from SCV...

Updated and reorganized, plus a few more finds from me. It should be easier to search now, to see whether something has already been found. Thanks for your help, everybody. It's going to be hard for most people to spot these except with our main characters, so keep 'em coming. The ones that...

This thread is to document special pieces of dialogue that are only heard via specific character matchups, not counting those that arise only in Story Mode. Please reply with any you've found, and this list will be updated. Single lines are alphabetized by character, conversations are...

I recognize that CaS introduces quirks that many players find undesirable, so it's fine to ban it as long as it doesn't take a substantial bite out of the player's options in terms of winning and losing. When we were just talking about costume choices, that was an easy sacrifice to make. But we...

This isn't about Madison, me, you, or Oofmatic, but your opinion on Devil Jin has not existed since 2000 or even 2005 when CaS was introduced. This is a new situation that we should handle as a community with an open mind, not as the most legendarily ban-happy community in fighting games. It's...

Sorry. I missed any previous runs at this subject. I'm not much of a forum rat. Last I'd heard, what I'm describing was what we were doing. You've got to admit "banned by coincidence" would never fly if this situation had happened to Talim or Zasalamel. I recognize that this is a tangent for the...

Where do I go to bitch about Devil Jin being banned? "Banned by coincidence" has to be the stupidest excuse for a ban ever. It takes hours for tournament organizers to unlock all the other characters, and then it takes five minutes to slap together some kind of custom DJ character that conforms...

Haven't seen this mentioned yet: my favorite answer to telegraphed horizontals: B+K (auto GI horizontal), SBH B, 44{B}, SBH kA+B+K =110 damage, plus you're still in charge when it's over. Reading this thread, 110 seems like a pretty big number. In plain language, the real starter is SBH B, of...
