How are you training for MLG Dallas?

[Pig Of The Hut]

Idea behind the Thread is for others to see how some practice and to possibly take their ideas and practices into their own training.

Myself?

• Make a list of every character in the game

• 1-5 Rate your confidence level going in against that character as well as who you will use for it and general game plan

• Repeat the above but instead of "character" do it per "Player" attending

Practice time: 2-3 hours a day but week or 2 weeks before event that plus as much as humanely possible.

Grab a friend and practice every counter poking situation. Example when using freddy vs Kabal practice situational and in general counter poking with d1 nms (if kabal tried counter poking with f4) blow him up w spike/hell spike or *1* option also practicing d1 teleport.

Things like this. Its the fundamentals and little things that end up winning close matches.

How do you guys prepare and train?

I'd play ladder mode on medium until I could beat it. That normally should suffice

 

[GGA Wafflez]

i literally just watched that whole thing. it's very similar to mine

I un-benched Jade from playing online. She has a lot of holes in her match up experience, and I don't have much of an offline scene.

And I'm giving my "Kenshi killer" some work. I'm something of a character loyalist, but that match up is just.... Yea. Can anyone blame me?

Also looking around for Kabals, Kenshis, Kitana's and other tourney favorites. Or at least turning them on in practice mode.

It's a 2 step process.

1. Play casuals at GGA or at home with Dizzy.

2. Complain to everyone about how Kitana isn't that good, I suck and will get bodied at MLG.

if i was going to dallas, this is how i would train

 

[HGTV Soapboxfan]

I have the oppurtunity to play for about an hour and a half every day with a group of players offline that when combined play the whole cast. SO..... i do that, and afterwards we just discuss what each of us needs to improve.

identifying those specifically and then spending a day working it does wonders

1. Eating bacon everyday.

2. Watching reruns of "Dallas" Who shot JR

3. Preparing and eating mass quantities of Canteloupes

4. Praying to Joe-bu and practicing the art of voodoo

Yeah it takes us as a group like a week to learn what we normally would in 2 months, and we have a much better time doing it.

You should get a custom made t shirt that looks really cheesy that says "Online Champion"

I'm not training because there is NO vsm and no one will play with me.

 

[Krayzie]

1. Have sessions.
2. Let people stay over.
3. Repeat the process.

Which reminds me. I'm having sessions today, as soon as some lazy EGP guys wake up... lol
