Sweet. Also, everyone is super cool so if you're considering the possibility that we're all going to say "LOLGTFON00B" that won't happen. Another possibility is that you'll whip everyone's ass. Who knows!

Awesome, glad to see we got our own thread. Can't wait to see some of that freddy knowledge. Check's video looks like hes a real heavy hitter.

He is, but word on the street is his damage scaling is effed up (as in, NRS made a mistake) and is going to get patched.

Also, hooray sticky!
 
Yea Freddy is def broken bad atm, even when his damage gets toned down, I still don't think he should be allowed. The other 3 DLC should be allowed for SB4 tho.

I played Kenshi alot & considered switching him to my main, but started to have a 2nd rebirth for Nightwolf now I figured out ways around issues I was having with him (Thanks Check :)) Nightwolf is more of a complete char where as Kenshi is good not great once u figure out ways around his gimmicks. If you never played against a good Kenshi, he will tear u apart bad, but learn the char & you will see his weaknesses become very apparent.

Now that EVO is over, I see no reason not to allow the 3 DLC chars (most tourneys followed EVO rules up until event). I know I wanna get matchup exp against them all & nobody will take them serious until they are allowed at tourneys. I hope I get blown up bad by a good scarlet player so I can have some motivation to hit the lab & learn how to fight her, otherwise I feel like I wasted $15/$20 on FUN DLC.

PS.. that's why we all get together on Friday nights to help everyone level up in NJ area. No one keeps secrets or has an elitist attitude towards others. I flat out tell people what my strategy is if I see your having trouble against me, so u can understand it & adapt to it. That makes me level up as well cause the shit I was doing ain't gonna work anymore, so I need to adapt as well. Match-up exp is such a big part in helping you grow as a player & trust me, you wont learn it online!

Freddy is so stupid. His stupid smile at the character matchup screen pisses me off. He looks totally out of place like a hobo at a cocktail party.

Can't wait to go tonight!

Going today. God willing, hopefully I'm not mugged by NJ gangsters hold semi-automatic weapons.
Haha The only thing you have to worry about in Fort Lee is being over run by all the Asians. There's a big Asian community there.

I had a lot of fun tonight and learned a lot. Had to duck out early since I'm tired as hell (been up since 4am), but I'll certainly be going back there again. I really appreciate you guys putting up with my scrubiness, even if you seemed to get pretty tired of all those wins. hah.
