We're back with the Pittsburgh fighting game community's monthly tournament: CMUken Saturday Night Salt Masters!

This tournament is also our Ranbats, also known as "Ranking Battles", where we award points to top 8 in each game and keep track of them. These points are used for seeding in successive tournaments and also our various events. Since this is a new season, we're starting from scratch! We keep track of points on our facebook group.

Signups will start 6:00pm and the actual matches will start at 7:00pm. We WILL start on time this time, so if you're going to be late, please contact me via email, facebook message, or phone.

We're at Hamburg Hall 1000 this time around. It's in Hamburg Hall, which is down Forbes Ave. Address is:
4800 Forbes Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Unfortunately, the venue's doors are often locked, so if needed, call me and I'll send someone to unlock the doors: 7243174249

I suggest parking at the Morewood Parking lot on Forbes, it's free after 5pm and is right across the street from Hamburg Hall.

Raiden / Re: Raiden (Console)

« on: February 17, 2013, 09:01:43 PM »

well as of this point, i still haven't quite found out the answer for the problem above

But i found an interesting counter hit CD combo today, lots of damage and pretty simple to do
2 bars + 1 Drive
works off of neutral and forward jump

Counter hit CD
Ex Tackle... Ex Tackle [DC] C spit
A tackle xx B Drop Kick ... air throw

does over 600 damage iirc and pretty simple to do
Great conversion off a simple counter hit if you ask me

Actually depending on if you wanna spend the meter and how high the CH CD landed, you can sneak in an extra A Shoulder without spending meter. Does similar damage without using the Drive for the Mist.

Offline Matchmaking / Pittsburgh, We Don't Have a Region

Posting this thread up in the off chance that somehow there is anyone on these forums that don't already attend our weeklies in the Pittsburgh PA area on Thursday nights at CMU.

Archives / Septemeber 30th Season's Beatings Ascension KOF 3 v. 3 Teams

« on: September 06, 2012, 11:33:51 PM »

Team 2A (twitch.tv/team2a) is excited to announce KOF 3 v. 3 teams at Season's Beatings Ascension. Registration will be taking place on site during the first two days of the tournament. The actual tournament will begin Sunday morning

The rules are the following:
16 Team Cap (If there are enough people interested to expand it to 32, I will.)
$30 entry fee per team.
Character lock. (You can switch your order)
Each person on the team plays an individual character in a standard 3 v. 3 vs. mode match.
2/3 of sets
Double Elimination
If a member of your team plays on a different button layout, pausing at the beginning of the match will be allowed. (It's the only real solution I can think of for this.)

The tournament will not be streamed but will still be recorded and uploaded to both Team2A's and Season's Beating's youtube channels.
