Where do you think he said that?

Umm hey, I'm new here so I thought I'd post in this thread because I was at the arcade con tournaments. I probably met a lot of you guys there. I know specifically Sairus, Vao, and Xinkai. I played Xinkai in the BB tournament, I was Tager against his Platinum/Lambda. Also got destroyed in MVC3 and MK9. Anyways a couple people told me to sign up for boards.ie and post in the fighting games thread, so here I am.

Good to see some new blood, that's what makes cons worthwhile for me.

I was Tager

Awesome username!

I would have been disappointed if you played any character other than Tager.

TVSAdamwest · 04-07-2011 11:35am

Welcome power of science we can always use more players. And your tager will be a welcome change from Voas gimmicks r us tager:D

Naphiel · 04-07-2011 11:48am

That's the only way to play Tager.

TVSAdamwest · 04-07-2011 12:08pm

apparently there was a sweet tager tearing it up at qcon

Fix'd.

Also, Tager needs his gimmicks

He a gimmicky character. Pity Zen hate his gimmick and refuse to give him a useful meter to show when he's about to go from having combos to not.:pac:

Vyze · 04-07-2011 12:55pm

That's why Tager is top tier for about 2 weeks with every new BB release. Tager is all gimmicks with no real solid options, no matter how good the player is.

bush · 04-07-2011 2:30pm

Man I heard they got the miz to make an appearance at this along with guile and chun li

says you

I still remember that great tager comeback

but yeah what he says is true, tager will always be the character the fck up noobs, that don't ahve a block string and alway making mistakes. Since tager can only really win on peoples mistakes.

Don't believe the hype, there was a Tager in finals but he was literally just churning the butter something fierce.

Must have had a really easy draw, I had to go through a much better new Tager to get out of my group (thank you favourable matchup). Can't quite remember how Yreval met his end, think he got put out by Jarvy right after I did but I'm not too sure.

Too much salt

Symptoms of increased salt intake include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. High concentrations of sodium in the body can also result from excessive water or fluid loss. Persistently high levels of sodium in the blood can result in swelling, high blood pressure, difficulty in breathing, and heart failure, and may be fatal.

A high dietary salt intake is an important causal factor in the development of hypertension (high blood pressure), which currently affects 32 per cent of men and 30 per cent of women in the UK. Hypertension increases the risk of strain on the heart, enlarges the heart muscle, prevents an adequate blood (and therefore oxygen) supply from reaching the heart, and may lead to heart failure, angina or heart attack.

Seriously, though - if people were losing to it then he had no reason to stop throwing out 360s. Why change a strat that people aren't finding a way around?

Yreval · 04-07-2011 4:42pm

I was watching his match with Tsukiko - I think it was in the semi-finals. He was getting away with purple throws left, right and centre, but even then he didn't win too decisively.

Voa · 04-07-2011 5:11pm

Vyze; from what I heard, he was mucking 720's after GF, and getting AC off it.

So either his terribad execution was a BRILLIANT mindgame, playing on the Con sensibility and beasting people with enough knowledge to try to counter what he was doing, but what he wasn't really doing...or he got real lucky.

I wouldn't know, I didn't see the matches.

Disagree, I can usually do pretty good on my solid combos alone. It is only very recently that I started punishing with 360 and 720. Though I agree that Tager is based around punishing, but that is not the only way to win. I promise I don't suck as bad as I did in the tourney, dropping every Atomic collider whiff combo. I went home right after I lost at MVC3 and was pulling off those combos every time no problem. Maybe it was tournament nerves, I dunno but Xinkai also played Lambda really well.

Best be trollin', I got put out good and proper by Jarvy - this guy was on the other side of the bracket where presumably nobody was using projectiles or jumping. :pac:

Vyze wrote: »

It wasn't working in the final, 360s were being neutral jumped time and time again and I didn't see a single attempt to collider or 2C, just more 360s.

From what I saw I just don't think we're dealing with some kind of Tager prodigy here.
