Sokumaiden's Fighters of the Kaleidoscope:
Tournament is now FINISHED! (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/fotksoku) Congratulations to Magister for winning!
Stream highlight:
(http://puu.sh/6GCe3.jpg)
Here you can discuss Hisoutensoku, Immaterial and Missing Power and Hopeless Masquerade! For finding matches, come join us on IRC.
irc.ppirc.net #sokumaidens (http://webchat.ppirc.net/?channels=sokumaidens)
If you're looking for a game, stick around a bit before leaving - a lot of us are in several other channels so aren't always looking at #sokumaidens.
(obligatory) when's IaMP?
Hey everyone! Looks like it's been a while since there's been a Soku thread on here. For matchmaking, please go to the IRC channel above. The reason for not using the thread as a means for matchmaking is because it's much harder to tell if anyone's online or available at the time, so you may just be sitting in the hosting screen for quite a while waiting for someone to see your post who actually wants to play, so if anything, this thread will be used for discussion of combos, blockstrings, and anything game related!
We welcome players of any skill level and players from anywhere in the world, just be aware there may be some lag in some games. If you haven't already, grab Sokuroll (http://is.gd/pjQZBI) which is a caster for the game, it makes playing with those overseas a bit more bearble.
Player List Spreadsheet (IaMP and HM tabs at the bottom)! (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiQM5rpUZMHFdHk1UFRUOXotQWVfNzlXcU90RWlyUHc&usp=sharing)
To get things started, who do you main and how long have you been playing for?
-
Totally up for this, awesome thread idea.
Remilia, and I guess a few months spread out over a few years. :V Gungnirs all day.
-
I like this idea. Count me in.
I main Remilia too, mainly because I suck balls with everyone else. :V
-
Personally I main Patchy, with a bit of Yuyuko on the side when I can't deal with a certain character / playstyle. I also tend to pick up an extra character every month to mess around with and learn, just so happens this month it's Sakuya. I've been playing for about a year I think!
-
Hi there. Great idea so count me in. Worst Reisen EU. :blush:
-
I main Sukia, and I'm completely awful [Which leads me to being unpredictable as if Sukia was actually playing]
But my strange '30 normal ping is 2000+' issue is back.
-
But my strange '30 normal ping is 2000+' issue is back.
What do you mean?
-
Great idea, you can count me in!
I main Marisa, but often try other characters as well. I've played this game for about 4 months now.
-
Awesome idea!
I main Remi as well; and been working on some Tenko. I've been playing for give or take 7 months.
-
Okay, that's enough to warrant a channel!
irc.ppirc.net #sokumaidens
I'll update the thread OP in a bit.
-
I main Reimu player, with Suika as my secondary.
But I don't play this game much anymore. Only...once or twice every few months if someone bugs me to do so locally, and if I have the time to do so x.x

Well, you're always welcome to join us if you're up for a few games! Sapz and I are always looking for someone to play.
-
I started to play the game less and less but I might just get back into it!
I pretty much play with a lot of characters, but I'm awful with a few of them and only mediocre with a large handful. I can't really tell with who I'm the best, but I've been particularly maining Sakuya and I used to be a rape machine before my friend and I discovered the joy of spamming the Fx controls to give infinite spellcards.
Have you ever stopped time to stop time during a The World so that you could stop time, only to be countered by a pocket watch to the face? That's what I'm talking about.
Oh and if I ever use Patchouli and manage to activate Philosopher Stone, expect an endless barrage of death.
-
What do you mean?
Sometimes my ping, for no apparent reason, jumps from 30 to 2000+.
I think I fixed it, however :V
Also I should probobly mention there are only 4 characters I even have a clue to play, Sukia, Yukari, Utusho and Tenshi.
-
I main Patchy, with Yukari as my secondary. I'm pretty flexible with characters though, just some I suck more with than others. (freakin Suwako, how does she work)
Only issue I have with netplay in this game is the sheer amount of lag. I just tried that caster with another MotK'er, and it didn't make much difference. Don't know if it was his side or mine but I'm pretty sure it's mine. (no, he isn't overseas)

You're always welcome to give it a try with myself in IRC if you like.
-
Hey, i'm not a very good player as of yet...
But I main Yukari. Play a bit of Yuyuko and Tenshi on the side.
This sounds like a fun idea!
-
Remilia's crossups are certainly... a thing. I just keep getting caught by Trickster Devil - I'm either not reacting quick enough or not reacting in the right way. If I reaction block I can punish with Yuyuko, but if I try to do the same with Sakuya, the opponent always has time to block before I can land a hit. Patchouli can get in sometimes, depends how far she's pushed back usually and what move I use to get the punish going. It doesn't graze, but I just can't quite seem to get danmaku out before the attack hits me - so it just comes down to showering the opponent in as much danmaku as possible all of the time.
-
I always wanted to get into this game, but with 13.5 looming I dunno. ;( I'll keep an eye on the thread at the least, though =)
-
Been waiting for something like this, I mainly main Utsuho though I haven't been playing recently though due to no one to play with, but I also play Komachi and Youmu, and sometimes Patchy, with Suika being my Shitzngiggles character and Reimu for 3rd Round Fantasy Heaven shinaniganz, though I'm trying to learn Marisa also.
-
I might play some games in the future when I have nothing better to do. No current mains; my FTG experience has completely rotted away so I guess you can class me as a scrub for now. Current location is western US.
I was tinkering around with some AI scripts (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7908387/screenshots/soku_ai.jpg) a few weeks back, but the current th123_ai module seems to be quite inconsistent when it comes to timings. Not sure if it was a faulty download or typo'ed address (or if it was even a fault in the module), but it's rather annoying when they keep dropping combos.
-
I'm very tempted to learn more characters. There's so many I want to play, but doing one monthly seems like the only way I'm really able to learn characters over a months time at least with how much I play. So, probably after I've learned and played as much of Sakuya that I start to get bored of her, I might move onto Komachi or Aya. At least then, I'll eventually be able to play everyone. \o/
-
If only my net was stable enough and that my country didn't suck when connecting internationally, I'd totally play with you guys. Me and my friend have been trying to connect since 2011 but to no avail... I main Aya and play Iku and Yuyuko as well. I could attempt to connect some time again though.
-
You could pop on IRC at some point regardless and we'll try it out! Sokuroll might make the lag better too.
-
I want play with you guys Miky Main players Komachi,Patchouli, Youmu and Marisa. Location Slovakia.
-
Eh well I main Meiling, and sub Reisen...
notthatI'manygoodthough.
-
I better post so I can get on that list :V
Raikaria - Level of play: Poor - Plays: Sukia, Yukari, Utusho, Tenshi - UK
-
Hi there, I am new to this forum. Shimatora introduced me to this forum and thought I'd sign up. I started playing Soku around September 2012 and since I am a fan of fighting games in general, I like it quite much. I do not play shoot-em-up's though, so I will probably only be staying here. Anyways, info:
Alcus - Plays: Suika, Suwako, Komachi, Cirno - NL
-
I haven't actually played against a human player before sadly. I do want to see how real expert players can mop the floor with me.
Mesarthim - Skill: Slghtly above that of a default lunatic AI. Main strictly Suika. I also rarely jump. I am in Hawaii.
Though I may sub Remilia to a degree.
tl;dr:
Mesarthim - Skill: Slightly above Lunatic AI (not that lunatic AI is all that impressive). Plays: Suika (main), Remilia (sub,rare). Most notable for: Not jumping much. Hawaii
-
I saw this topic, and thought it would be really fun, though I feel that I won't be online constantly though...cause I'm a bit of a...hikikomori, IRL and on the internet.
I don't really have a main character, I tend to play them all equally (I press the random button), but I tend to favor Sakuya and avoid using Reimu (or at least avoid using her and the Fantasy Heaven spellcard). Although, when I feel like being a butt, I'd use it. I guess I'm sort of a jack-of-all trades, master of none (especially Alice and Yukari. I find playing them to be complex. Doesn't mean I neglect their characters though) kind of player.
My skill level...could be better. I mean, I can get by the AI...not that it's very intelligent at all. I've played for a little over 4~5ish months :V
-
Depending on how many more people we get, would anyone like the idea of hosting a monthly tournament of sorts?
-
I fully agree with this idea. Tournaments are cool.
-
Count me in!
-
I'll have my net upgraded in a few days. When it does, I'll attempt to connect. But I'm new to literally all of this though...

Hey, we're not limiting people by skill or knowledge! I'm hoping to let anyone and everyone join, regardless of level of play / country. :)
-
Well last two times I've joined that channel no one says a word all day. A tournament of sorts doesn't sound like a bad idea but I've never played this game over a network against another person, ever, so I've no practice with any kind of latency involved.

Unfortunately with a channel that small, it's hard to have many people there available all the time. If you keep the channel open while you're online, you're likely to find someone else pop on and ask if anyone wants any games. Usually, for us in the UK (Sapz, Zork787, Hyalus, myself) are usually available in the evening our time, I find. The channel will pick up if more people join and stay in there for longer than 10 minutes to an hour. :)
Everytime I've seen you on has been after you've been and gone, unfortunately. I idle in the channel when I'm away from my computer, so I'm just there all the time anyway. Give me a ping when I'm online by highlighting my name, if I respond quickly it means I'm online - I'll give you a match then. :)
-

I was actually talking about the caster since I don't usually do these things...
As for my gameplay, I honestly don't know how I view myself as I haven't fought a single person aside from my friend. But that was almost 2 years ago...
-

That shouldn't be too troublesome for the (Western) US, where a few of us are. When it's evening in the UK, it's morning for us. You know, because there's roughly an 8 hour time difference. For example, 6:00 PM there, would be about 10:00 AM here. But then again...you would have to factor in the fact that people have jobs, unless of course, they work night shifts, and even so, they'd still have to be online too... But generally, lot's of us would be free, right? ???
-
Well presently I'm practicing with Reisen and I'm alright, probably will still get owned by the experts of experts. However I discovered one wee little problem: none of us seem to be able to host so far except for Shimatora or Sapz that I've been around to see ._.
Edit: Well after having used a controller in this game for the first time I might actually start maining Reisen with Suika as my alternate.
I think we should also make a list of people who are even able to host, else that severely limits who can play who. And for the sake of an up to date list update me as Reisen instead of Suika. Now that I am accustomed to a controller rather than a keyboard my style of play changed.
Ninjaedit: My first and only netplay victory. One win, a dozen or something losses. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gcnXQYmIdM) And all this time I wasn't even playing the game properly since I can't play fighting games 100% on a keyboard.
-
Alright I guess I can attempt any time now. Do I have to use the same name I use here and at what time is there usually people? I'm really new at this, but not the game...
-
In most cases just join in the channel. It can be quiet at times due to the number of people in total that may not necessarily be looking at the channel or at their pc. I use the same name just for the sake of simplicity but anyone can join in.
I think some of the good times are either noon-ish U.S. or Evening U.K.
-
Why aren't you guys using #Hisouten? :wat:
-
Why aren't you guys using #Hisouten? :wat:
A few of us do. It's more of a way to play people specifically from MotK, though.
-
Let's try and get this thread a little more active! I plan to do some tournaments over Easter if people are up for it. I've added a poll, so please answer that even if you can! I'd much rather everyone participating being able to port forward or use Hamachi (port forwarding being the far better option), so be certain you can use either before signing up when I get everything arranged.
-
You can put me in the list, I guess, I main Remilia and sub Sakuya/Youmu, I've been playing since before Soku's english patch. Though certainly mostly against the AI, which I can compeltely thrash, by the way.
I consider myself average, and still trying to learn, but without many people to play online with, I kinda suffer.
Also, can somebody tell me a Remilia corner blockstring that's not 5AA 6A 5B hj.8 j.2A j.2C 66 j.5AA Repeat? It's fairly predictable and deals minor spirit damage :derp:
If it helps, the Skill cards I use are Trickster Devil (236B/C), Stigmanizer (22B/C), Demon's Dinner Fork (214B/C) and Demon Lord's Cradle (I believe that was the name, it's the Default 263B/C)
-
I put double elimination because that's generally how Fighting game tournaments work.
Though I dunno if I'll join.
-
I vote for a tournament, although it doesn't really matter to me if it's round robin or double elimanation.
-

I've never properly played Remilia, but you can mix in j.2A j.2C 66 j.2C 66 j.2C etc until you guard crush. It's probably best only used if you know you'll guard crush though. It does a fair amount of spirit damage and is hard for the opponent to get out of. It can also be done on it's own without the start of your blockstring, but you could likely mix it into that too.
-
I don't know if I'll be able to join over Easter, but I'll definitely do my best to be there!

My personal blockstring is 5AAA 5C HJC9 j.2A j.2C 66 j.2A j.2C 66 j.5AA *land* (repeat)
It has does 2.5-3 orbs of spirit damage per repetition and it has massive opportunities for customization to reduce predictability :D
-
Yeah I kind of just like, died. Too many games or other interests to stick around getting my ass kicked due to my skill level.
Unless things changed I should still be able to port forward.
-
I'd love to play with you guys, and a tournament sounds like a great idea. Just one problem though, I'm an idiot, and I don't think I actually found the channel for playing.
Level of play: proud - Plays: Suika,Aya,Meiling,Okuu, Yukari - Canada EC
-
Right, when would people like the tournament to be? You have until the Friday to let me know when you'd rather the tournament be held! Sorry I didn't try and arrange this sooner, I've had no internet for about 3 days.

I haven't been using the irc recently since I've been busy and it's kinda hard to catch you guys since my timezone's at GMT+8. I'd love to join, but the problem is idk whether the connection would be smooth or not...

You're welcome to come test stuff out with us, I'll try to be online as much as possible over the next few days.
-
Oooh, it'd be cool to participate in a Soku tournament, I haven't been active around IRC mostly because school and getting too addicted other games (especially with TF2 and recently Super Hexagon), but this would be a nice way to get back to regular old Soku.
Also, for me, I think saturday would be a good day for it to be held, though Sunday is fine as long as it's on the morning or early afternoon. Late friday would work fine too.
-
How does this Friday sound?
-
I'd be perfectly ok with friday aslong as it's later in the evening, rather than early on. Otherwise I won't be able to make it.
-
I'll probably have to sit this one out, since most of you guys are on the other side of the pond, you're asleep when im good to play :P
-
Come on IRC now if you'd like to participate in something tonight. Looks like we wont have enough people for a Double Elimination tournament, but we'll see what we can do.
EDIT: Pushed the tournament back two weeks now. We'll be playing on the 28th of April at 16:00GMT! 20:30GMT! Sign-ups are here: http://challonge.com/sokumaidens (http://challonge.com/sokumaidens)
-
I'll decline. I have other games and things I want and/or need to get done.
Mostly because I am not awake at 6 AM my time so I wouldn't be there anyway.
-
Ooh this sounds interesting, but I can't even beat Lunatic AI so I think I might pass. I don't even know how to use the special moves so xD
-
I am so ready for this.
I mostly use Okuu and Sanae and I can beat Arcade mode on Hard with no losses, so i'm moderately proficient.
-
I registered :D
Name: Abenson
Chracters: Only Sakuya
Skill level: OP OP LAG
-
hi~
a friend mentioned to me that this might be happening, so I decided to poke my head in and sign up for the tournament >_>
hope to play with you guys soon
-
registered, won't be practicing much because I'll have an offline tournament on the day before (27th).
(obligatory) when's IaMP?
edit:
characters: Suika
skill level: how do I pressure or deal with it?
-
Skill level: Moderate
Characters: Youmu/Suwako
-
Signed up. I should be able to do this and hopefully my schedule won't get out of hand. Only problem I may face is lag. Whenever I netplay someone (only netplayed one particular user so I can't completely confirm this) the game lags out horribly, even with sokuroll. So I'm hoping it won't be too much of an issue. I don't have the greatest internet connection (or ISP for that matter) in the world.
-
Loving the turn-out everyone! 21 participants is incredible! I'll be on IRC at around 1pm GMT until extremely late in the night if anyone has anything to discuss or wants to play some games, so if you're available please pop on and chat.

It's always time for IaMP.

Hey, I'm not limiting people by skill, so don't worry about it. You can only improve by doing!
-
Yo! My Soku name is Moonblade92, and while I think of myself as a mediocre player (still better than the Lunatic AI tho, but that's not hard) I am good enough with Remi to be able to do blockstrings etc. Apart from Remi, I might also on occasion play Yuyuko and Aya.
-
There seems to have been a bit of confusion between myself and Yaffy as to when the tournament is supposed to start. Two days after I changed the date for the Sokumaidens tournament, Yaffy had asked for the tournament to be pushed back a bit (http://pastebin.com/LPhwMCdX), and due to some miscommunication and timezone differences, we had given out the wrong times. I hadn't realised I mentioned 16:00GMT in my post pushing it back, so I didn't bother changing anything and decided to edit in a few days time. Apologies for any confusion this has caused.
The tournament will be played at:
20:30UTC+1 / 20:30GMT+1
If anyone isn't sure when this will be for them, be sure to ask!
-
I may be available! I got a few questions, however.
1) What will be used for netplay? I uh, broke Hamachi permanently, so if that's what is used, count me out. :ohdear:
2) So the tournament is tonight, unless my comprehension is failing me again?
/me is denser than Suika's conflagrations
3) According to the internet, my timezone is GMT +/- 4:00. Thus I need to add or substract 3 hours to the 20:30...?

1) Preferably port forwarding! See Yaffy's guide for port-forwarding (http://pastebin.com/zBBYGUnk) if you need any help. If you get stuck, you're welcome to ask for help from myself in IRC.
2) It'll be held on the 28th of April!
3) GMT-4 would be 15:30PM for you if it is indeed -4. If it's +4, then it'll be 00:30.
Good to see you're considering joining us. :)
-
That time actually might be better, maybe. That'd be at 1:30 PM / 13:30 here.
If you're available later this evening, would you like to test connections?
When is evening for you because I think we're at completely different timezones. :V
I'm in Pacific Daylight Time, which is GMT-7.
-
I'm in GMT+1 right now, so yeah, pretty different. :P
-
I'm in GMT+1 right now, so yeah, pretty different. :P
Ah, I see. :V
That'll probably be a great test for lag. I was also thinking of heading to my uni for the tourney for better internet, but now that I thought about it, that probably won't be possible. In our CS lab, on the Windows side, the firewall will definitely block Soku, and on the Linux side (OpenSUSE), I doubt Wine will work with me, it really sucks on those systems. You're lucky if something will run on it.
EDIT: Seems lag won't be a problem. :3
-
Skill Level: Low-ish (New to playing actual people, but can beat Lunatic AI most of the time)
Plays: Remilia, Youmu, Reimu but still trying to determine my best character.
Note: My internet is... less than reliable.

I will be hanging out in the IRC chat tomorrow if anyone wants to practice or test lag
-
Great to see all the people joining the tournament. If anyone needs any help with anything, I'll be happy to do what I can.
-
Hiya! Guess it's basic decency to at least post an introduction...
Name: Aurora/William Henry Harrison Esq.
Location: US, East Coast
I mainly play a spammy Yuyuko, a decent Okuu, and a...well, I guess i'm pretty well rounded with all chars except Suwako, Remilia, and Sakuya.
I...guess i'm mid-tier? I've been playing for about a year now. I finally figured out hamachi-less netplay, at least.
I heard about this tourney from a friend, and I look forward to playing people!
-
Wonderful! I'm signed up as well!
Name: Ikari
From: Quebec / Canada
Skill Level: I think I'm okay. Intermediate, I guess?
Main character: Sakuya holds a special place in my heart. I do, however, use a bit of everyone, especially Yuyuko and Reimu/Sanae, but Sakuya remains number one.
Play Style: Crazy pterodactyl on cocaine.
-
Since I was personally invited, I would like to join~ (via YouTube)
Name: Stefl1504
From: Austria, Central Europe
Skill Level: I am able to hurt those insane players on irc.rizon.net/#hisouten, so I would guess Intermediate...
Main character: Cirno
Play style: Too much graze
(I assume we are using the current version of sokuroll (which should be 1.3)... means that I have to finally grab it...)
-
Awesome stuff guys! Nice to have you on-board. Updating the OP with your details now.
EDIT: Is there anyone currently signed up to the tournament who will be unable to host on the tournament day? I can do a few things to work around this, so just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
-
20:30, GMT+1...
Hmm. I live in EST time, so what would that be? (I'm very unsure of my estimations....)
If it's anywhere near 3 PM, I MIGHT not be able to participate. 1 PM I think is fine for me, anyways.

EST is GMT-7 I believe, so it'll be at 1:30PM your time I think.
-
I recently learned my timezone is -4, thus at 15:30!
And that means I can indeed participate! I'll even have friends over to cheer on me. :yukkuri:
-
I guess I'll join because Yaffy asked.
I main Aya, and I'd say I'm maybe intermediate-ish or average.
-

I am unable to port forward at the moment, so i cannot host.
-
nvm, sorry
-
Sorry, I'll not be playing this one.

I don't really know if I can do this or not. How long will the tournament last, approximately? If it's not all night, I'll join.
Name: Validon98
Skill Level: Terrible (can't even get past a couple rounds on Normal Arcade)
Main: Alternates between Marisa and Yukari
Location: New England
I don't think I'll be able to host. That and I don't want to screw around with my router, because it sometimes disconnects with the internet, which annoys me.
EDIT: Uh... I actually just beat Normal Arcade with Marisa. So, I guess my skill level is more like "Between Beginner and Intermediate."
-
I don't really know if I can do this or not. How long will the tournament last, approximately? If it's not all night, I'll join.
It really, really depends on how quick the games are played. I've had tournaments with 16 people last around 3 hours before, but we did stream the majority of matches. In this tournament I'll basically just let all games be played when they can as we have such a large turnout, so we'll have to see what happens, unfortunately. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Welcome to those just signing up!
-
You know what? Sign me up too. I'll just need someone to alert me in advance or something...
Name: an unmatched sock
Skill level: Uh...between so-so and bad. I think.
Plays as: Chiefly Utsuho, but I switch around a lot. Other top picks include: Yuyuko, Remilia, Tenshi, Iku, Reisen, sometimes Youmu or Suwako.
Location: America
Again, someone keep me updated on tourney days so I can plan accordingly. Please.

Please remove me from the player list, and please remove my guides as well.
After seeing how you acted, I don't have any intention of participating or staying.

It'll be held on the 28th of April at 20:30 UTC+1. If you want to know anything else, feel free to ask here, in PMs or via the IRC channel. :D
-
Huh. Well, I'll just have to wait at 1:30 then and see what happens.
Also, I cannot host.
-
Oh, well... Looks like I actually can't join. But luckily I havn't actually signed up yet, so it won't really bother anyone.
I'd like to see how this goes though.
-
Hmmm, I must say, the organization for this tournament is terrible. First off, some of us never even got on the registry (after being invited over YouTube and the like, that comes off as a tad insulting at least) and then it seems the pair making this tourney has come apart. Well since I can't find myself there anyway, it's none of my business, enjoy the tourney, I myself won't be joining after all it seems.

This is a bit distressing to me as well. I want to join still, but I'm a bit, what's the word, worried. Not about my own skill, but about the whole "Yaffy left for some reason practically no one but the people involved knows" thing.
EDIT: It seems like a lot of people are dropping from this thing, because I just checked the site for the tournament and there's a LOT less people than there was before. This worries me even more.

I've been rather busy with IRL stuff and haven't sat down to update the registry.
EDIT: Looking back, I missed your "registry application" because it was not layed out like everyone elses, DisasterMan. I apologise for this. Would you still like to be added?
EDIT EDIT: That should be everything up to date. If I have missed anything, let me know and it'll be added. Same goes for any possible mistakes!
-
Chillax, people. This is not a big deal. :V Don't worry about what other guys are doing or whether you're on the registry or whatever, just play if you want to and have some fun.

Something important popped up on Sunday. It's someone's birthday, so I'll be dropping out of this one. Sorry.

Basically, you can arrive whenever, but I'll leave your game until it needs to be played, if you don't turn up in time you'll lose that match and be knocked down to losers. If you turn up before your next match needs to be played, all is well! Otherwise it's the same deal and you'll be knocked out completely.
I'm sure it'll be fine though!
The tournament is starting in just under 6 hours time! It's currently 14:47 GMT+1 right now.
EDIT: 20 minutes to go! Sign-ups are available up until then.
EDITEDIT: Tournament over! Thanks for playing everyone. :)

nice tournament, it was fun to play and to watch. Hope we get more of these!
congrats to Kujibiki on winning the tournament o/

I'd be up for another tournament... if it wasn't a "general" tournament, like it was here. I think having a "beginner" tournament and a "professional" tournament would be a good idea. Because it's not really fun for people who aren't that great at the game to be thrown into the same tournament as seasoned veterans. I understand we're all trying to have fun here, but it's not fun for people who will lose early because they're coming up against people who are really good at the game. It's, what's the word, unfair.
Sorry for the complaining, but I have a point.
-
(obligatory) when's IaMP?
I approve.

I approve.
I approve further.

Thanks for the games, I hope that my opponents enjoyed the matches just like I did. And sorry for the lag for some of you guys.
I wish to upload my matches to Youtube soon but I forgot to ask permission, so I'm posting here to say. I don't intend to offend anyone with my uploads, but if you have something against me uploading our matches, just tell me in private and I will delete the video without complaining.
I'll let my Youtube channel here to ease the process, but I'm not sure if this is against this forum rules, if it is, sorry in advance and please someone warn me and I will edit this message and remove this link too.

I honestly cannot tell if you're joking. I'll just assume that you aren't.
If a tournament is properly seeded, the "professional" players will be relatively spread out. The weaker links are sent to the loser bracket sooner rather than later, so you should be fighting weaker players in losers until you start advancing. If you get a player that can beat you in losers, just accept your loss and WORK ON GETTING BETTER.
You could run pools and split into pro and amateur brackets, but that's a lot of effort for a relatively small tournament and would still require seeding.
-
I'm sorry for writing that. That was just post-tournament frustration talking. I didn't win a single round, I got really angry, and I wrote that in response, because I was so frustrated. And I've tried to improve. Except practice battles against other players feels less like practice and more like getting the crap beaten out of me. It's frustrating and it's also my own fault for thinking I could ever be good at this game.

It's fine to be bad, but a defeatist attitude isn't exactly the best to have if you plan on getting better.
You're going to get beaten up a lot until you learn how to use your character and what other characters are capable of.
This'll sound REALLY corny, but you should count every match as a victory if you actually learn something from it.
That way, you keep an optimistic mindset and work toward your goal bit-by-bit.
It's 150% mental, 75% emotional, and... 68.46% physical (assuming that you're 293.46% people).
When practicing against people, pretend that you're only practicing movement/escaping pressure/not mashing for now.
You can practice comboing off of hits in practice and add them later.

Oh god, this SO MUCH. I'm actually on an indefinite hiatus from Soku Lobby because I was getting my ass handed to me whenever I tried to fight someone. It's why I didn't take part in the tournament; I'm also a poor sport. Sad thing is, this is the only fighter I've ever had the patience and motivation to learn. :'(

Validon98: but you can be good at this game; sometimes, it's not just about how much you try to improve, but also, how you're trying to improve. I recommend reading this article (http://xenozipnotes.blogspot.com.br/2009/05/the-brick-wall_6827.html), which should also apply to other fighting games (and other genres such as shmups, methinks), because what I wanted to say (and this article does a better job at it than me) is that, by fixing the flaws in the way you play the game (flaws such as bad movement, allowing yourself to get pressured in cases that you could've avoided it, being predictable, being impatient, not knowing matchup details, etc), you'll become more difficult to be beaten.
for now (since I don't main Marisa), I'd say (hopefully as constructive advice):
- use spellcards after 5aaaa, not 5aaa
- if you're going to use 66a, try to not become predictable (the opponent can jump, or block), and to do it from maximum distance (so that the end of the kick reaches the opponent and gives you the least possible recovery time). Watch for reversals (not against Marisa, iirc, but against other characters with good reversals) which can be used against your 66a
- (maybe) practice staggers (5aa, delay, a, or 5aaa, delay, a) to have an alternative for 5aaab
-
Being destroyed at first is part of getting good at any fighter. It doesn't mean you'll never be good.

Recently some friends and I got together to make a huge "Newbie friendly" tournament. The point of this tournament was to not only encourage newer players to join in netplay, but to also invite many players from many different communities. In the end, the tournament was a huge success, and the demand for another tournament was crazy.
Here's the link to the bracket: http://challonge.com/TLSokuInvitational
I would like to invite the MoTK community to join in the next tournament, seeing how there are quite a few members here that may be interested. We're planning on hosting the second tournament in late June, on either a Saturday or Sunday. Signups are not open yet, but I would like to check if anyone is interested in this idea.
PS. If you consider yourself to be a "High level player", we may have to bar you from the tournament. If you aren't sure if you are at this level or not, PM me and get ready to possibly fight some members (Most likely the top ones) that participated in the tournament. (Or me!)

Name: Blue
Skill Level: Good(I can beat Lunatic Arcade, whatever that's worth)
Plays: I main Suwako, secondaries are Yukari and (rarely)Youmu.
Location: West Coast US
I've been playing for about 3 months, but I only played Touhou in general for about a month before that. Oh, and I've never played against actual people before, so this should be interesting.
-
Hey, I used to play a bit of IAMP here and there not well though and mostly with Suika.
Can't say I've found a main in Soku yet, I enjoy Reisen, and so far Youmu, Cirno, and Suwako are fun. I'm not quite sure how I should build a deck, so I went 2-4 skill cards for each motion and 4 sacrificial dolls as I heard they are great, but deck building tips would be great.
I'm up for games anytime and looking forward to learning this game, I'm quite a seasoned fighting game player, but not a Touhou one.
Also do you guys play Hopeless Masquerade netplay? The game feels pretty awesome from what little I played of it so far.
-
Meh, I'm waiting for the full version. Only 13 more days. Is your body ready? Mine sure is. 8D
Unless Hatate SOMEHOW makes it in; then I won't be ready.
-
I'd like to play with you guys someday, but I don't have alot of free time right now so I'm not sure when exactly I'd get a chance. Still, it couldn't hurt to post my Hisoutensoku info now anyways, so here it is.
Name: SirBlueberry
Level of play: Well above Lunatic AI*
Plays: Main Okuu, 2nd Meiling. Somewhat decent with others, but I'd greatly prefer to use Okuu/Meiling.
Area: US
*I can only compare myself to the AI, because I haven't played against actual opponents very often. I can beat Lunatic AI opponents no sweat, but AI is only AI and it never gets any better at the game, so yeah. I don't have a good idea of my actual skill level. Mid, Mid-High perhaps? I surely won't call myself an expert.
If you see me around, I'd always be up for a match if I'm not busy! Soon enough I'll have alot more free time on my hands and I can play more often.
-
Seeing as we've included IaMP in our roster of games, I can't see why we wont be playing 13.5 too!
Welcome Blue and SirBlueberry!

Probably will be if Hopeless Masquerade doesn't have utterly dire netplay! Let's hope.

Perhaps introducing myself might have been a bit better than just appearing out of nowhere to jump someone for complaining. ^^;

- I might pop in to the IRC from time to time, though. B-b-but don't get any ideas...!
...Oh, and if it's wasn't obvious from my skill level quote, I'm just kinda... mehish. Lots of bad habits that surface and switch randomly.

Generally, you want to put a higher number of cards for the things you really want to have.
Like... if you really want Tengu Drum ASAP, you'd put 3-4 of them in. Some characters can really benefit from getting certain alts early in a match.
You really have to know when you'll be using your spellcards when adding them. For example, Aya's 1card is really cheap and useful for canceling things and continuing corner pressure, so it'd be good to have four of them. I wouldn't put four 5card Tornadoes in, though. I know that I can't land more than one of them in a match and that space would be better filled with extra Gust Fans for higher damage during combos.
I don't know. There's a lot to consider. You have my apologies if this doesn't help at all.
I was also told that Sacrificial Dolls were bad, so I haven't been using them. Can't really say anything about that one.
-

I was also told that Sacrificial Dolls were bad, so I haven't been using them. Can't really say anything about that one.
I've also been told this and adjusted my deck accordingly, now using 4 of the best skill, 2 of a useful side skill, 3 bombs, 3 scarfs, 4 weak spell cards, 2 5-card spellcards, a penny, and a tengu fan(depending on the character), seems to work well so far.
I have a really hard time winning with Cirno, but with Youmu and especially Suika not so much.
Looking into finding a good deck build for Yukari, Remilia, and Tenshi.
-
Speaking of the penny, it doesn't seem to work for me. What is it supposed to do, exactly?
-
Speaking of the penny, it doesn't seem to work for me. What is it supposed to do, exactly?
It pushes the opponent away on guard.
-
Looking into finding a good deck build for Yukari, Remilia, and Tenshi.
Don't know much about Yukari and Tenshi, but every Remi I've played includes 5card Dracula Cradle and 4card Spear.
Dracula Cradle seems to be very easy to confirm and does between 3000 and 5000 damage.
Spear seems to be used from just about anywhere (E.g. fullscreen Dial A -> 4card works) and can also be used during a blockstring (does two orbs of damage).
Alt. 214 (Chain Gang) seems to be quite common as well.
C version seems to be used during combos and as an approach while the B version seems to be used occasionally during a blockstring.
Other than that, I don't really remember seeing anything common.
Some run Ceiling Fear, some run Scarlet Devil, one ran Remilia Stretch (it was REALLY embarrassing when that one hit), etc etc.
Might be better off getting a Remi to talk to you about it.
-
This might be a good topic of conversation! What kinds of decks does everyone run for their mains?
For my Patchouli I run:
Skills:
2x Summer Red - Basically for increased combo damage as I use this as my combo ender.
4x Dew Spear - I spam this in order to keep the opponent where I'd like to be. The higher the level, the more shards and the harder it hits, making it a bit more intimidating. Excellent for okizeme too.
4x Condensed Bubble - This really is my only defense against rushdown characters, and it hits hard as hell at higher levels.
2x Autumn Blade - I use this skill in pushback blockstrings for how long it lasts.
Spells:
1x Noachian Deluge, St Emlo's Pillar, Satellite Sunflower, Silent Selene, Royal Flare and Royal Diamond Ring - I like to run at least 1 of each useful card for how I play, this allows me to be a bit more flexible with my playstyle. This also means I don't fall into the habit of doing similar set-ups every time, it's all dependent on what I have at hand at the time which dictates how I use it. For instance, I may set up Royal Diamond Ring as okizeme or use it against an opponent who's mid air. I rarely combo into it. I almost always use Satellite Sunflower to control a large proportion of the map, or to keep an opponent cornered during Diamond Dust or if they do not tech.
System:
2x Divine Raiment of the Dragon Fish - As my playstyle doesn't have much of a way to react to blockstrings, apart from say BE -> j5c or any variation, I use these to turn the tables and restart my danmaku spam.
I do tend to swap things out if I find they're becoming dull to use or not being as effective as I'd like them to be, but most of my deck stays the same.

"bigname_09mamizou"
Ohohoooooomama.
-
Let's see..
My Remilia deck:
Skills:
3x Demon Lord Walk - Good skill for punishing rushdown characters.
3x Demon Lord Cradle - Good combo finisher.
2x Ceiling Fear - I usually use this skill only for surprise attacks. I can't think of any combos that would work with this skill, except 2A 2C 22B
Spells:
2x "Heart Break", Demon King Cradle, Red the Nightless Castle, Spear the Gungrir, Scarlet Devil and Dracula Cradle - The spear spells work really well with 6A. Demon King Cradle and Dracula Cradle are really easy to confirm and do nice damage. I use Scarlet Devil as a combo finisher.
-
Might shoot two birds and once with this response.
Name: Gray21oh (or Gray for short)
Play Level: Can hold out, although not well enough for top level play
Main: Suika
Secondaries: Reimu, Marisa, Yuyuko, Tenshi then whoever I feel like.
Location: Newcastle, Australia
And for my Suika deck:
System
2 x Ibuki Gourd - I prefer to get my cards fast so I can try to assure myself of doing good
1 x Catfish's Great Earthquake - To be honest I dunno how to use this well, I suppose I could use it as a get away?
Skill
3 x Spectre -Dense- - Easy to get a combo in with
4 x Fire Oni - With how dense the attack is I found appealing, although I am pathetic trying to pull off the command for it.
3 x Ingus Fatuus - In the scenario I think I would need a barrage of things that are cluttered together.
Special
3 x Gather Sign "Throwing Mt. Togakushi" - I try to punish with this one, although It isn't really as resourceful as it is in IaMP
2 x Oni Sign "Missing Power" - Mostly to finish off a combo or something.
2 x Oni Sign "Massacre on Mt. Ore" - Similar usage to Gather Sign although a lot more risky, but I like taking risks.
-
Ahhhhhh, might as well. No use hiding my deck anyway.
Skill
4x Gust Fan - Because Gust Fan is used so often. The fact that L0 Gust Fan doesn't travel along the ground annoys the crap out of me, so I want it ASAP. And though I usually only get to use it in Sprinkle, L4 Gust Fan is hilarious and sneaky.
3x Tengu Drum - I really like Tengu Drum. It's quick, does good damage, can be used as a crossup, can be used in combos and aerial pressure, and it's quite satisfying when it hits. It has its downsides, sure, but it's a fun skill. Chose three cards to slightly increase the probability of getting to L2 quickly. L3 doesn't seem as important.
Spell
4x Demonic Beast "Wind Sickle Veiling" - Helps with maintaining pressure, very cheap, makes certain moves safer (Dom. Dash), our eco-friendly spellcard.
2x Wind Sign "Wind of the Tengu Path" - I've never really been fond of this particular spellcard, but I'm starting to come around. Good for maintaining pressure midscreen, so its actually kind of important (I think). Haven't actually used this yet since I only added it recently, but I've been seeing how other Ayas use it. ^^;
2x Whirl Sign "Maple Leaf Fan" - For quick, easy corner pressure/combos. Tengu Drum follow-up is also quite satisfying. Feels like Aya nailed a dismount or something.
2x Thrist Sign "Tengu's Macroburst" - I really don't know about this one anymore. It doesn't really seem to be a good pressure spellcard since it seems to be easy to just graze out. I usually just use it immediately after landing Tengu Drum for a little extra damage or occasionally to cover a blocked Domination Dash. People seem to like punishing DD, but don't really expect someone to burn a 3card to cover it (or they're just not aware that it can be used for that, IDK). I've tried to use it as a trap (like catching Remilia's j.6/8A or something), but it usually just feels more as a mild deterrent than an actual threat. Thinking of just replacing it with extras of the other spellcards.
2x Headwind "Route Forbidden to Man" - Because it's a great, easy-to-use spellcard. Could potentially do good damage, forces them into a corner, and puts a good amount of pressure on them to continue grazing or block and feel the wrath of the angry boulderwinds. Feels like it's a guaranteed orb break/forced BE if used correctly.
System
1x Divine Raiment - Just a random little surprise.
Many of my other decks are just small variations, either just changing my 22, adding certain system cards, or switching in Illusionary Dominance (I only really use it during blockstrings or after confirming with Dom. Dash) and/or 5card Tornado (I'm bad at landing it, so I mostly just hold it as a deterrent; sometimes people make larger gaps in their blockstrings if they notice that you're holding it).
Also, Fire Oni is downright evil!

There isn't built in matchmaking, so you have to find someone to play with first. Then, the host exchanges their IP with the player wishing to connect, and they join from there.

So if I want to play against someone in Nico. They gave their IP and port, then I'll have to input it on the second option and then choose the first option, right? I keep failing to connect.

You guy's still playin Soku, or have you moved onto HM yet, or is HM's Netcode as bad as Soku's without Sokuroll you haven't bothered until a HM equivalent come's out yet?

I had been forgetting that I did want to post my deck here. Well here's Okuu for now. I threw in a comment for each of the cards, keep in mind these reflect my opinions only and may or may not be accurate or useful.
Okuu:
System Cards: I don't usually use these. I know some are pretty useful but I haven't worked them into my playstyle successfully yet.
Skill Cards: I will be adding in more of these later but currently I'm finding what works best for me. I had more at one point but I'm working on a better variety.
--1x Radiant Blade: (236) Not sure if I'll keep it, was trying new things. But it's alright. I may possibly figure something out for this, or maybe not.
--1x Rocket Dive: (623) Working on a good way to use this, may add more once I get it figured out. Except...
--1x Melting Pummel Kick: (623) There is the fact that I'm liking this card much much more, and they use the same skill slot, so I might drop Rocket Dive to add in more of this.
Spell Cards
--2x Light Cover "Nuclear Visor": Fairly useful for getting myself out of a corner or just plain getting the opponent away from me. A little damage is nice too.
--2x Explosion Sign "Mega Flare": I love these flare cards. Easy for me to land, good damage. Considering adding in more flares while dropping other cards I use less often.
--2x Burning Star "Fixed Star": I use this as a boomerang-like spell. If it's blocked on the way back, they're dragged back towards me and I grab them with a Melting Pummel Kick. Of course if they dodge or graze it instead, then I can't do that, but then it serves another purpose of removing them from that area one way or another.
--1x Nuclear Sign "Creeping Sun": Situational kind of thing but I didn't want to remove it completely. Sometimes I can get in a few good hits with it.
--1x Burning Star "The Ten Suns": Mostly gets the opponent away from me. If it hits, damage is always a nice thing.
--1x Geothermal "Nuclear Blaze Geyser": Considering adding maybe one more of these, it's pretty cool.
--1x Crow Sign "Yatagarasu Dive": One of the cards I may possibly remove. It's alright but I'm not too good at landing it.
--1x Nuclear Heat "Uncontrollable Dive": I like this one more than Yatagarasu Dive. If the opponent knows it's coming or reacts quickly enough, the whole thing is pretty much wasted. However if you can manage to land it, it's pretty cool.
--2x "Subterranean Sun": I love this card. Everyone sees it coming, and everyone recognizes it's card icon. That means it's easy for people to avoid it right? But in order to do that they have to stay out of it's area of effect. Just holding this gives me a very limited control over the opponents position. Of course I can't force them to "go here" or "don't go there" but they will tend to stay away from it's spot.
--2x Explosion Sign "Giga Flare": Basically the same thoughts as Mega Flare but I like this one even more. It's harder to land, but does more damage. You can always just fire it after the opponent does their own spell, if you know it's slow enough that Giga Flare will hit. This raises the problem of opponents holding back their own spells to counter your Giga Flare. However, the opponent not using spells isn't such a bad thing, if you can wear them down without spells of your own.
--2x "Abyss Nova": If you use this and Okuu starts glowing, the opponent will obviously know something's up even if they're new and haven't seen the card before. Glowing is dangerous right? You can't expect to land it all that often, but it's good for keeping the opponent away from you. Nobody wants to stay near a glowing Nuclear Hell Raven. If you want to hit with this at all, you need to force the opponent into blocking so they can't just easily get away.
So yeah. Basically a mix of offensive "Reduce stuff to ash" cards, and defense of the "Stay out of here or get hit" variety. I certainly won't call myself an expert, but I'd like to think I know what I'm trying to do, even if it may not be the best way of doing it.

You guy's still playin Soku, or have you moved onto HM yet, or is HM's Netcode as bad as Soku's without Sokuroll you haven't bothered until a HM equivalent come's out yet?
We'll add Hopeless Masquerade to the matchmaking list too! Everyone is now welcome to use IRC for finding matches for Hisoutensoku, Immaterial and Missing Power and Hopeless Masquerade!

So what am I supposed to do to if I want play HM? Can you explain it to me step by step please?

To join a game:
1. Find someone willing to play/host.
2. Get their IP and port in an "IP:Port" format (like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy, where "x" is the IP and "y" is the port).
3. Copy that part.
4. Select the fourth option in the Network Menu.
5. It'll ask you to confirm the information. Then you're in.
To host a game:
1. Make sure that you have a port forwarded for the games. The standard is 10800, so that'd be easiest. You MAY have to make an exception in your firewall for the game as well.
2. Select the first option in the network menu.
3. Give your opponent your IP and port in an "IP:Port" format (like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy, where "x" is the IP and "y" is the port).
4. They join and you play.
Badda bing badda boom. You can get your IP from www.whatismyip.com and you can get help forwarding a port from portforward.com.
Also, there's going to be an online Soku tournament on June 29th. Just a heads-up for now.

Oh awesome, I'm maining Mami Mami Mamizou in HM with Futo and Marisa Alts and utsuho is still my main in Soku though I haven't played Soku since the last time I was in IRC so I'm prolly Rusty again
Also apart from maybe 2 Corner BnB's, I have had NO luck finding any actual combo's for mamizou and could REALLY use some help, yet a firend of mine has managed to find like 3 100% Stun combostrings for her and he isn't even maining her, he says he'll show them to me in a net battle, but our connection when fighting is so damn laggy and he won't tell me the input's so I can learn them for myself because they have "odd delays he can't describe".... Sigh :/ /rant
Edit: Should prolly mention that my Soku Skill Level is "Rusty as all heck" and my HM Skill Level is "trying to figure out mamizou's combo's" :V

I've already tried to join the game. I put the IP of someone from Nico but it kept failing to connect. I wonder what's wrong. I thought it might be firewall but I already allowed it and still no good. I'm using Windows 7.
Just to make sure so I can know which internet to use, do you need Peer to Peer connection for this?
-
You guy's still playin Soku, or have you moved onto HM yet, or is HM's Netcode as bad as Soku's without Sokuroll you haven't bothered until a HM equivalent come's out yet?
I'll probably move back to soku for the sake of having a better roster. And I still play IaMP for the sake of having better combat system than SWR UNL and HM. But I'll definitely play HM for the sake of the current roster and music and being a more polished game for the most part.

Are you sure they were actually hosting at the time?

Sigh :/ /rant
Comboing in this game is rather... strange. Pop on IRC some time and we can do some experimentation.
-
Are you sure they were actually hosting at the time?
Yeah, but I guess them being in Japan might have something to do with it. What I find weird is that I can't even watch(the second option), it kept failing.
I think I need to test it here first. I just need to enter the irc.zon and give my IP right?
When will you guys going to do it? I want to join in too.
-
Mm, since HM is up, I'll start with that first. I main with Futo and alt with Koishi. My skill level is, uh, decent. I've never played with an actual human being, so I'm not too sure. As for Soku, I main Suwako and alt with Komachi or Remilia. Skill level is "Dude, I literally forgot how to play because I played HM for too long!" Nah. Very rusty. :V
-
Yeah I'll put my info here as well.
Currently, my main is Koishi with my alt being Reimu. I can only currently play through Hamachi though but I'm trying to figure out how to fix up my internet so we can host directly
-
So y?all remember that online tournament I mentioned a little while ago that?s taking place on the 29th?
The tournament link is up now.
http://challonge.com/whhil
To enter, email tlsokutourney@gmail.com or contact crescentia (Click ?Participants? on the left-hand side of the page, then ?Send PM?).
Remember to send them your name from the forum and read everything beforehand.
I almost didn?t realize that there was a collapse box on the top. ^^;
-
I play Hata No Kokoro, and I alt between Reimu/Nitori. I would say my skill level is up to par. I live in Canada so if you want to play with me I have Hamachi and very fast internet connection. Just shoot me a message when anyone want's to play~
-
I plan to host some tournaments seeing as my exams are all finished up in two weeks time. Looking to play them some time towards the end of this month, into the beginning of the next. We might even be able to fit in a few!
Just seeing if there's any interest and for what games. Just post a reply here letting me know what games you'd want to play (out of IaMP, Soku and HM) and we'll see what games have enough people. We'll go from there!
Keep in mind that HM is still extremely buggy and largely unfinished, so if people would like to see a tournament do expect lots of lag and plenty of crashes.
IaMP and Soku'll be fine as far as I can see, good ol' casters!
-
IaMP/Soku
-
Soku or HM is fine by me (I don't care if it's still a little buggy, I actually want to do some freaking netplay).
-

This. The one time I tried to netplay someone in HM, though, we couldn't connect. I don't know if it was on my end or his; probably mine. Would you-- or anyone else-- like to try it out?
-
Hey there guys and girls. I'm new to this thread and had been looking for someone to play Soku against for a long time now.
I am an ok player but I dunno how I will do against people yet XD
Name's Marisa Kirisame and I main Suika, Yukari, Youmu and Marisa.
Nice to meet you all. =)
-
and actually can I play someone right now?? I really wanna do a Soku match with someone.

eh why not. Joined 13.5 tourny because I need more Koishi practice :V
-
I'd like to join the 13.5 tourny, but I'm not sure if I should, considering I'll be out of town for a week early July. Hmmm.

The 13.5 tournament could be held anywhere in July, so you can sign up now, but if you can't play on the day I can remove you. There'll be a few more tournaments in the future, so don't worry about missing it if you do!
Keep checking back for updates. :)
-
Signed up for the tournament; I could probably do a few test matches to make sure the wifi is working.
I'm also preparing to get my ass handed to me on a dish for Flandre. Though that would be the best way to die. 8D
-
Signed up for the Soku tourney, I'd sign up for the HM one too but my comp absolutely HATES it even with minimum settings for some reason, so I'm doubting if it'll be able to handle netplay.
-
How do I get added to the IaMP bracket? Do I just ask you? Added myself to the player sheet in any case.

You should be able to get to the sign-up page from here (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/iamp), if not here (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/tournaments/signup/NdYPgsgfvh) is the direct link.
Quick edit:
If the sign-up pages aren't showing up for some reason, let me know and I'll link directly to the sign-up pages in the OP.
-
Ah man, I wish I could join the HM tourny, but I'm not going to be home for most of July. Damn.
-
I'll join (and probably do terribly, like in the Soku tournament :V)
But it depends on if I'm going to be away on tourney day. If I can make it, I will play, so don't count me out just yet!
-
I'd love to join a HM tournament, but I seem to desync every time with certain people.
...and by "certain people", I mean "4/5 of the people I've played with so far". :<
-
As of now, there are currently 4 people signed up for HM, 2 for IaMP and 4 for Soku. I'm expecting at least 8 for a tournament to be deemed worth it, so sign-up if you're interested so I can see numbers!
Anyone have any preferred days they'd like to play on?
-
Literally any day after June 14, or just a friday/saturday, both are equally fine. I can also play on early sunday.
-
Well, pretty much any day except Sunday and weekdays from July 29-August 9.
-
I'm okay for Mondays and Saturdays, most other days I'm either working or would have class
-
I haven't signed up for the HM tournament yet because I'm going to leave for a summer program this Friday and be there until the end of July, so I won't be able to play until August. :I
-

That's unfortunate - I was hoping to host something in August as well, so if all goes well you can play then!
-
I'll be getting 13.5 soon, so I'd like to sign up for that. My summer is fairly open, but friday/saturday are generally best.
-
How does Friday 20th of July and Saturday the 21st of July sound? Saturday for HM, Friday for Soku and we'll fit IaMP into one of the two.
-
That works for me.
-
July 20th and 21st...um...I might be on vacation at that time, with limited internet access. I don't remember the exact week we're going, but that might be the end of that week.
Still count me in, just know I might not show.
-
Count me in.
I've played fighting games for a few years, though I only learnt a year ago how to combo, cancel and that stuff. Still trying to figure it out for HM. So expect a lot of button mashing from me. :derp:
-
Remember to sign up if you haven't already! http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/ (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/)
-
Okay, here's the plan!
ALL TIMES ARE UTC+1
The Hisoutensoku tournament will take place on Friday the 19th of July at 7pm. This will be a double elimination set-up if there are 12 or more people. Any less will be round robin.
The Hopeless Masquerade tournament will take place on Saturday the 20th of July at 5pm, with IaMP following (hopefully) at 8 or 9pm, depending when the games finish. HM will just be Round Robin due to lag issues that we're bound to encounter with cross-country play. It is also A MUST for people to turn up BEFORE the tournament starts to test connections and hosting. There will be people in the channel all day for this. As for IaMP, it will be either DE or RR depending on the turnout, just like Soku.
I can only change the times to be earlier, but I'm willing to do so if the majority agree. Please give me feedback, even if you agree - it'd be good to know either way.
ALL TIMES AND DATES WILL BE SET IN STONE ON THE 1ST OF JULY, YOU HAVE UNTIL THEN TO ASK FOR CHANGES!
(my apologies, appears I was one day wrong on the dates.)
-
5pm UTC+1 is noon EST right?
-
Can I still sign up, or is it already too late?

I'll be taking sign-ups right up until when the tournament starts!

Currently on daylight savings.

OK, signed up for the HM tournament. Of course, I play just for fun.
I live in CEST (normally CET, but you know, DST), by the way.
-
Signed up for Shinkirou even though Marisa's neutral B is big and obnoxiously safe and making me angry.
-
>Neutral B
Smash player?
Signed up for HM, but I'm not sure if I'll actually be available to participate yet.
Also need to seriously study another character for Mamizou since the ditto is horrible.
-
Currently on daylight savings.
Then yes, it should be at midday. Be sure to try and turn up early in any case.

Well it's not exactly a standing B now is it?

So I've been hearing all this talk about Futo having loops with her tornado followed by X plates and the first part of her Dial-A, but I think I'll be sticking with AAA, Down B, Forward Earth Pillar setups because it seems to do more damage over a shorter combo while using less spell meter. Harder to time, but loops get me into autopilot mode and that's never a good thing when predictability gets you killed in a fighter. Smash has taught me that all to well. Besides, the better damage output and lead into an uncharged Y plate->fireball as well make the loop really unnecessary unless I'd want to set up a bunch of plates in the exact same place for some weird reason. Still trying to figure out when followups are allowed out of a Hermit Plate Item hit, since it seems to work occasionally mid-string mid-screen, which is always nice from a "meterless" chain.
Ohhh, just figured out a cool addition after the earth pillar with her detonation, gotta see what plate levels it works at.

Man I want to play some HM right now for some practice, but I can only use Hamachi to netplay but I can't host :(
-
I might not be able to make it to the Soku tourney, since it starts at 11 AM in my timezone(PDT) and I have to go do a thing at 1 PM.
If it's possible, could it start an hour-ish earlier? Thanks.
-
Well, I guess I should start by saying I only got into this game because of a friend who absolutely loves it. Unfortunately, day three of playing I beat him. I mostly want to ask a couple of questions.
But, for the sake of conforming, I main Iku and cannot really play anybody else at all. I would consider myself to be mid-level or lower-mid level with her (how good is she anyways). I am awful against the AI because a huge part of my game is reads since I don't really know the game that well. I think that I have only put about7 hours into the game honestly.
That being said, are there ever tournaments that happen at a venue, or can you only find online ones? This game is fun, but I would love to meet the people that beat me down face-to-face. I don't know, maybe it is just because I am from the Smash Bros. community. I am a Melee player at heart, but my buddy needs people to play. So I am looking for ways to get better, but I can't find any Iku videos. Either way, regional events at a venue would be awesome; where can I find some in the midwest?
Another thing about this game is it is not that technical (from my experience). There is only one kind of cancel (the HJC) and my character can't even do it in many many most cases. In short, this game feels slow (for as fast as it looks), and doesn't really feel that tough, but I can't help but feel that there are intricacies I am missing. So my other question is, where can I find information on tech skill (not game mechanics)?

First off, welcome! Nice to have a new face around.
Iku's considered rather good in the Japanese community, she's A tier according to the most recent match-up chart, which can be found here. (http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Diagram)
As for offline tournaments, I don't think I've ever heard of any other than ones at conventions. Even online ones usually don't happen too often.
Here (http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Nagae_Iku) is a link to the most in-depth guide to Iku I know of, maybe what you're looking for can be found there? Generally http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Main_Page (http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Main_Page) is the most up-to-date and in depth wiki for western players.
For match videos, you could always sift through NicoVideo's (http://www.nicovideo.jp/search/%E6%9D%B1%E6%96%B9%E9%9D%9E%E6%83%B3%E5%A4%A9%E5%89%87?track=nicouni_search_keyword) uploads. There's an awful lot of ranbats on there, you'd just need to find Iku within those. Alternatively, you could always just go for individual matches and use this search. (http://www.nicovideo.jp/search/%E6%9D%B1%E6%96%B9%E9%9D%9E%E6%83%B3%E5%A4%A9%E5%89%87%20%E8%A1%A3%E7%8E%96)

low level player wanna participate in 12.3 & 13.5. Can i join?
-
Sorry, I signed up for HM but haven't got the time to post here.
I'm usually available on Saturday and Sunday. On any other day I'm usually out and the connection I have there don't allow for P2P so I can't netplay.
For HM, I main Byakuren and sub is Ichirin. Skill level is so-so, sometimes I screw up and drop the combos and I need some warmup first.
For Soku, I main Okuu and sub is Yukari. Skill level is like HM but slightly worse.
I wanted to sign up for Soku but I'm really rusty now and I don't think I'll have the time to get used to it before the match.
I'm not so good at IaMP so I'll pass.
Do I need to post my skill setup?
So let's see if I get this right, the tournament for HM will be held on Saturday, July 20th at 5pm. Since it's UTC+1 then in my place(UTC+7) it will be at 11pm, almost midnight, right? And since we'll be testing the connection, I'll have to show up around 2 hours prior, right? I guess I can do that.
Also are we required to use Hamachi? I tried using it with someone on nico but I don't really notice any difference with the usual hosting a server.
And is there a time where you guys gather to play? It would be nice if we can have a match or two before the tournament.

Sorry, I signed up for HM but haven't got the time to post here.
I'm usually available on Saturday and Sunday. On any other day I'm usually out and the connection I have there don't allow for P2P so I can't netplay.
For HM, I main Byakuren and sub is Ichirin. Skill level is so-so, sometimes I screw up and drop the combos and I need some warmup first.
For Soku, I main Okuu and sub is Yukari. Skill level is like HM but slightly worse.
I wanted to sign up for Soku but I'm really rusty now and I don't think I'll have the time to get used to it before the match.
I'm not so good at IaMP so I'll pass.
Do I need to post my skill setup?
So let's see if I get this right, the tournament for HM will be held on Saturday, July 20th at 5pm. Since it's UTC+1 then in my place(UTC+7) it will be at 11pm, almost midnight, right? And since we'll be testing the connection, I'll have to show up around 2 hours prior, right? I guess I can do that.
Also are we required to use Hamachi? I tried using it with someone on nico but I don't really notice any difference with the usual hosting a server.
And is there a time where you guys gather to play? It would be nice if we can have a match or two before the tournament.
Post whatever you feel like sharing - nothing is required.
It's best to show up as early as you can - a lot of people will be happy to play practice matches all the way up until the tournament starting! And yes, 11pm sounds about right for UTC+7.
You only need Hamachi if you're unable to host, just in case you meet someone who's also unable to host.
Just pop on whenever you want a game, and if people are around then perfect! I'm usually available for games throughout the week in the evenings for me, which is UTC+1.

Attention anyone attending Anime Expo this weekend. I will have a Hisoutensoku setup on Friday from console game room opening - 1pm and again from 5:15pm to dinner/closing. If we have enough people playing, we can have a tourney if you all want one. Otherwise, we'll just play the whole day.
Please join us for some offline play and lag free games.

I guess I mostly am wondering how big this community is. I cannot seem to find much in terms of 12.3 players anywhere or their whereabouts in the US. If the scene is as big as even SFxT then it should be easy to get a tournament regionally at least. I like meeting the people I am facing; probably why I am not a huge fan of dueling network (for Yugioh) and MOTO (Magic online). I do want to play people though, so if this is actually impossible, where can I find players to face? I would say I am lower-mid level, but I wouldn't mind getting whipped upon by higher level players if it means getting critiqued. I should really play this game more lol.
-
Most of the active 12.3 players are on #hisouten on irc.rizon.net.
There's about 10-20 active players in North America. Usually they're most active weekdays around 3pm - 9pm PST (I could be off give or take a few hours), but generally, you can get a game within 15 minutes during that window. I've found weekend activity to be more spread out.
Careful though, the level of play over there is relatively high, though if you want to push the game to it's limits, that's one of the best places other than Japan's sites.

This all the way.
You could also try joining our IRC channel too!
-
How do I join the IRC? I am not really looking to push the game to its limits. That is why I play Super Smash Bros. Melee. But I do enjoy a competitive fighting game with similarities to it in terms of skill range (this game seems to have a low tech floor and a high tech ceiling). So far it just seems that I don't really know my character that well, and Iku's movement is a bit slow, and while I feel that my movement is fine (though I could be wrong), I don't really know how to use it to apply pressure or utilize the good projectiles she seems to have.
Once again I would like to join the IRC, but I was actually wondering if there was some sort of Hamachi group just for 12.3 (or at least the collaboration of games you guys talk about in this thread). What I need most is a bit of critique on a few things, though I seem to improve a lot as I go, I don't really want to practice the wrong things. I will do some research on the game so I can maybe start to push the character and meta of Iku to the limits, but right now I would at least like to make sure I am not a complete scrub.
-
You can use http://webchat.ppirc.net/?channels=sokumaidens to join the channel.
Most of the members who frequent can host without Hamachi, so it may not be needed! There isn't an official Hamachi group because of this.
-
When are the Shinkirou players in the chat? It seems most members just play Soku and bad mouth 13.5.
-
When are the Shinkirou players in the chat? It seems most members just play Soku and bad mouth 13.5.
There are only a couple of players who play a lot of Shinkirou, but asking "when people are in there" when players like yourself hardly ever join means you always miss each other! For quicker games I'd recommend irc.rizon.net #shinkirou.
-
When I type in irc.rizon.net into firefox it keeps coming up with a connection error. Is the site down for repairs?
-
Less than a week to go until the Soku tournament, exactly one week until Shinkirou and IaMP. Currently at 14 participants for both Soku and Shinkirou, only at 4 for IaMP! Let's see if we can get to 16 for Soku at least?! Anyone's welcome to play so invite anyone even remotely interested!
EDIT: Who'd be up for playing THDS? (Touhou Fangame fighter thing that's like Smash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL1onJxG32o )
-
What's the name of that game? I remember someone posting that video a long time ago and then I never heard from the game again. I didn't know it had netplay in it.
It's the kind of game that makes me question: why the hell aren't we playing it right now?
Also, is there a english wiki for that? Seems confusing at first.
-
So that's the thread for the Sokumaidens second Hisoutensoku champ? Finally found it. I'm in.
-
Who'd be up for playing THDS? (Touhou Fangame fighter thing that's like Smash.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL1onJxG32o )
I'm up! I love this game (it's reminds me about Technos games series "Nekketsu"). Where i can find somebody, who will play in that game? : )
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Dai_Undousai (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Dai_Undousai)
-
I'd be up for it too if I were at home. I could potentially play THDS after that, though! I'd probably have more fun with it, haha. ^^;
-
On Friday I will be available around 5pm, should be enough time to set everything up before the tournament starts.
-
so if this starts at 7pm in UTC+1, would this be 2pm EST? Just wanna make I'm seeing this correctly with the time converter so I don't miss it
Also, is this all in one day?
-
The Hisoutensoku tournament will take place on Friday the 19th of July at 7pm. This will be a double elimination set-up if there are 12 or more people. Any less will be round robin.
The Hopeless Masquerade tournament will take place on Saturday the 20th of July at 5pm, with IaMP following (hopefully) at 8 or 9pm, depending when the games finish. HM will just be Round Robin due to lag issues that we're bound to encounter with cross-country play. It is also A MUST for people to turn up BEFORE the tournament starts to test connections and hosting. There will be people in the channel all day for this. As for IaMP, it will be either DE or RR depending on the turnout, just like Soku.
EST is UTC-5 which means it is 6 hours behind UTC+1 unless you're on Daylight Savings (otherwise known as EDT for you) it's UTC-4, meaning it's 5 hours behind.
EST for Hisoutensoku will be at 1pm, if you're on Daylight Savings it'll be at 2pm.
EST for Hopeless Masquerade is 11am, or 12pm if you're on Daylight Savings.
-
Oh it's saturday, nvm :V so 12pm it is on Saturday. I'll be there
-
Excellent! The whole tournament should be even more hilarious than it was going to be with this update. Also, I'll be dividing NA and EU into their own brackets on the day hopefully, now we have a larger turnout than I expected.

So we're going to play with ver 1.10b?
-
So we're going to play with ver 1.10b?
It's probably most recommended
Anyways, confirmed that I CAN make it on Saturday, work is only until 11am, just to help out with stuff really quick lol so I'll be there :V
-
So we're going to play with ver 1.10b?
Yes, we're playing on 1.10b. Or whatever the latest version is.
-
Yes, we're playing on 1.10b. Or whatever the latest version is.
Better get used to it then.
I don't really mind, but what about those that haven't tried the new patch? If there's any that is.
-
Hmmm. I was interested in the HM tournament, but I'd have to leave for work about an hour after it starts. Well, with the latest patch, I'd probably be fumbling stuff up anyway :P My normal sparring buddy has been too busy for me to get used to the vast changes!
-

They had a couple days to try it out. Everyone had as much time unless they were really close and personal friends of Tasofro or ZUN :V

There's one. I just hope there won't be any among the participants.
Say, are you free today? I can play tonight(about 10 hours from now) if you don't mind. I want to get the feel for a bit.

>10 hours from now
that'd be 7am x.x If you wanna play I'm available now :V
-
Sign me up for iamp... Although what time would it be at if it got ran?
Been playing once or twice every two months for a few years. Maybe 5 years like that?
Plays Youmu, Yukari, Alice, everyone.

Oh, let's do it then. But I can't stay for long.
-
I'll have to drop the soku tournament, because I didn't realize that it was on a friday afternoon, and I have work until 6pm (I usually arrive at 7pm on fridays), while the tournament will start at 3pm :(
hopefully (if the tournament does last that long) I'll be able to at least spec the final matches?

Hamachi and Sokuroll ready to go. Is there anything else to prepare?

BETTER CONNECTION
Seriously, I can't play with this. Had a test with Gpop and it lags horrendously. Better get home quick.
Anyone will be available before the match? I'll probably be available around 5 hours before the tournament.
EDIT:
Any Okuu/Yukari mains around here? I could use some advice.
-
To clarify, the Hisoutensoku tournament is TODAY in 1 hour 40 minutes from when this post was made.
There seems to be confusion as to when these things are happening, please read the OP to clarify when each tournament is happening.
-
Sign me up for iamp... Although what time would it be at if it got ran?
20:00UTC+1!
EDIT: Soku tournament over! Congratulations to Magister who took first place. The rest of the results can be found here! (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/soku)
-
OK, bad news. I'm gonna be at this, which is unfortunately at the exact same day as the IaMP tournament: http://smashboards.com/threads/thanks-for-playing-2-july-20th-2013-ijamsville-maryland.336040/
I MIGHT be back home at like 10 PM, but I'm not sure, could be up to 11 PM. So I guess I have to drop out? Dunno.
-
EDIT: Soku tournament over! Congratulations to Magister who took first place. The rest of the results can be found here! (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/soku)
Are there any replays of those? I would love to see them.
Also, the HM tournament will start 6 hours from now, right?
Got home early! Anyone want to play HM? I would like to test the connection myself.
-
Seeing as a few players cannot make it today's IaMP tournament, it renders the tournament kinda pointless. So I'll be delaying the tournament until tomorrow, same time.
HM will be going on as normal.
-
I might not be available tomorrow, in that case I'll unregister. If I'm still signed up in the afternoon, I'll participate.
-
Congratulations to monhan for winning the EU brackets, and Lusvik the NA brackets for Hopeless Masquerade!
-
I was close, but Lusvik used Ichirin which is a pretty hard counter for Koishi
;_;
-
Wanna see all this games :blush: .rep files or youtube, if anyone share will be great, thank you :3
And yes, congratulations to monhan and Lusvik V_^__^
-
Already got a few matches recorded. Gonna convert em and upload it really soon don't worry
LATE EDIT: I just uploaded one of the matches here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WINxjxKdRfo)
Before I upload more, can someone let me know who was the other Koishi player was and who the Futo player was? I'm guessing they were PMW and Neodymium respectively
-
Gpop, thank you :3 But it's only one match, i wanna more ::) if you dont mind
Marisa(HighZealot) try to graze your last word, but...
-

Yeah I was the Buddhist Koishi.
-
It's such a shame that the 1.10c patch that fixed the netplay crashes came out the day after the tournament, only fought like 2 people because everyone else crashed when playing with me :(
-
Yeah, I was the Futo player.
-
Gpop, thank you :3 But it's only one match, i wanna more ::) if you dont mind
Marisa(HighZealot) try to graze your last word, but...
Actually, first he was gonna block it, but after he noticed Koishi's slow start up he tried to punish, but to no avail. Either way he would've gotten hit unless he grazed.
Btw, I uploaded the other 3 matches:
Gpop vs PMW (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awcNQF6qVo8)
Gpop vs Lusvik (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1AXNHagctA)
Gpop vs Neodymium (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-E0kiTs1QQ)
-

Being in a panic doesn't really help my decision making.
I'll probably be uploading a single video of all my matches eventually. Hopefully before the start of August.
-
I feel sad that I didn't get to participate. Although, I was out of state, and the laptop I brought could barely run HM's menu. Soku ran fine though, but I got rusty in my time of not playing it. So, unfortunately, I didn't get to try another tournament. Oh well, maybe next time.
-
I haven't even been able to play netplay for HM at all yet, so you've been better off. :V
Also, I know it was suggested earlier and then kind of ignored, so I'm going to bring it back up: I would totally be interested in a THDS thing. Although we would probably want to talk about that in a new thread rather than clutter this thread with it. ^^;
-
I'm just connect to irc.ppirc.net, join #sokumaidens channel and say: "Anyone up for THDS? >_<" (i'm just little spamer, who loves that game :blush:). There are guys, who play in THDS. Unfortunatly, game veeeeeery laggy with all 4 players, but play in THDS so fun ^___^
New thread will be cool, btw.
-
I'm all up for any kind of THDS thing, it's an extremely fun game that I sure do enjoy a whole lot.
-
In the end I didn't get to watch the IaMP matches. I shouldn't have laid on the bed.
Why don't we held another one? :)
They said the new patch fixed the crashing problem so maybe this time we'll have smoother matches and no one would have to miss some of them.
As for the time, I think Saturday is good, unless there's people who can't participate. Maybe this time more people would participate.
How about it?
For THDS, I'll be happy to join! And since it's not just a fighting game, I think it needs a new thread.
-
Ach, I completely forgot about the HM tournament. Wouldn't have done well anyway with all the changes to Mamizou.
DS is Dai Undousai? That game is incredible and everyone should play it.
-
For any other Remilia players in Hisoutensoku; I've been experimenting with a funny deck lately using the rocket kick and javelin alts for my skill cards. I feel like the default stuff works better against most characters since normally I use the cradle reversal a lot, but I find this works better when facing, say, Patchy (hi Shimatora!). Generally I don't get much of a chance to anti-air jump-ins with the cradle because whenever that happens there are always a ton of shards and fireballs and whatever other crap is on its way to eat my face, so I'd just get hit out for trying it and have to sit back and eat the pressure instead, whereas rocket kick sort of... deals with the jump ins before they actually get to the jump in stage. :V It's pretty awesome how quick it shoots through everything, and the sharp angle you get off the B version is very nice indeed.
Anyone else have any good or bad experience with these two skill cards? Tentatively I'm also interested in toying with the Stigmanizer 22 alt, but I couldn't get anything good out of that beyond some not-very-good oki and the occasional surprise. Would be really cool to see some viable strategies with it.
-
So I'm gonna bump this because I'm thinking of hosting a Shinkirou tournament on September 2nd (NA Labour Day). How does that sound guys?
It will be the tournament standard, double elimination. Best 2 out of 3.
If you're interested, JOIN HERE (http://challonge.com/HMotK). Now with Kokoro available I hope to get even more people to show up :V
-
I'll be recovering from post-Kumoricon blues, but I might be able to make it. It depends on whether or not I'm going on the third day, and I don't think I am considering there's not much I want to do that day. On the other hand, my mom's forcing me to go with a friend who may want to go that day.
In other words, it's ambiguous whether or not I'll be able to attend the tournament, though I'd love to.

I want to join, but September 2nd is the day I go back to work, meaning I'll only have hideous connection.
How about changing it to the 1st? I think I can manage that since they'll probably cut me some slack since it's only the first day.

I can try, but I'll likely have work that day, which is why I prefer the Monday.
-
Wait wait wait, since when could I have said I played IaMP and HM also? Well then...
IaMP - Suika and Reimu - Very meh
HM - Reimu and Miko somewhat - Pretty alright
This time I hope to be much more lively! Although I dunno if I could be in that HM tournament since the week it begins is the day I start my preliminaries.
-
So, ahh, does the direct connect work well in HM (I remember trying to do it with a buddy in Soku and having horrible lag) or is there a third party software we have to use like Hamachi? Figure I'll get this stuff figured out before the Tourney.
And do we have a set time for the tourney, or do we just figure it out with our opponent on a round to round basis?
Also, I might as well do this...
Soku - Suika, Youmu and Utsuho - Okay, not bad, but not great.
HM - Byakuren and Kokoro - No idea.
-

The best thing to do is to come a bit early to test connections. If we get enough people I'll split it into regions so the connection stability will more likely work with the people you face.
Most of the times I've had that if it works in Hamachi, direct works as well
-
Well here's hoping I get good connections. Although that will be extremely hard because well... Australia.

Hey guys, just letting you know, for everyone who signed up in the HM tournament, the date has been moved to Saturday September 7th @ 1pm, to both accompany the EU players with the time change, and everyone else who doesn't have Labour Day

TIME TO PRACTICE MY FUTO I FORGOT EVERYTHING AAAAA
(too late for me to try to become good at koishi again)
-
Sorry, I'm afraid I can't be there on time. I have something to attend to. I don"t think I"ll be back until 3p.m.
You guys go ahead and start without me, unless you wanna wait.
I'll be available for post tournament matches though.
-
Just a heads up to anyone who has to fight me today: I was unable to forward my ports because my router's a jackass and won't forward them even if they're forwarded, so you'll have to host or we'll have to Himachi.
NA Central, Midwest to be exact, for my region, just to get that out of the way.

Still no congratulations? Come on!
Congratulations to Renee as champion of the MoTK HM tournament just the other day! And thanks for everyone that participated, even after it got delayed*cough**cough*
Ahem. Thank you, Gpop for hosting the tournament(and congratulations for 3rd place). Hope we'll be able to hold another one like this again and I hope more people will come and join the LAG-fest! Unless you fight someone close. I'M JEALOUS!
You can see the results here: http://challonge.com/HMotK
Only got 5th place this time, I still need more practice. Oh well, it was fun.
Renee and Relial, I'll beat you two next time! Just you wait! :D
Also, Gpop, we haven't settled the score yet. Don't let your guard down. ;)
And Shima, I'll try getting used to Soku again or actually try IaMP if you don't want to play HM. I don't think I'll be good enough though.
Anyway, see ya on weekends!
-
As an idea, what would people think about a 2on2 tournament? The main inspiration of this comes from watching a lot of Japanese tournament videos, which are largely 2on2 or 3on3, etc. Should I just host another 1on1 tournament? Obviously this relies on at least 16 people participating for there to be 8 teams, but it might be something people would enjoy! Of course, this will be for each game that has enough entrants, so I would host one for IaMP, Soku and HM.
-
I'd be totally down for this
*inb4 I team up with Renee for double top tier teams :V*
-
YES. I would be all over team Soku like nobody's business.
-
I'll expand on my idea a bit more:
There will hopefully be a minimum of 4 teams of 2. 8 teams would be fantastic though. You're allowed to play whatever characters you want, doesn't matter if they're the same or different. You're allowed to pick who you're teammates with. Of course, if you cannot find a teammate, I can have a teammate-less section where you can find someone else to be in your team. Either that or I can randomly assign teams to those left over.
Here's the format idea for the tournament:
Tournament setup as of 15:07 UTC [26/10/2013]
Each player is assigned a letter, either A or B. This will dictate who they face from the other team first. A will always face each other first, same with A. It will be Best of Three for each match and the overall team set. Let me illustrate this:
Player A Team 1 vs Player A Team 2
Player B Team 1 vs Player B Team 2
This will always be how the first two matches happen, as mentioned above. If both of the Team One or Team Two players win, it'll be 2-0. If one player from each team wins, it'll go onto a third and final set with the winners from the first two matches. For instance:
Player A Team 1 vs Player A Team 2 (2-1) <- Here, Team 1 has won.
Player B Team 1 vs Player B Team 2 (0-2) <- Here, Team 2 has one.
Player A Team 1 vs Player B Team 2 <- This will be the deciding match to determine which team wins the Best of 3.
The winning team will then proceed in winners bracket/losers bracket, and the losing team will get knocked down to losers/be knocked out of the tournament.
-
I'd be totally down for this
*inb4 I team up with Renee for double top tier teams :V*
Oi, that's just cheating!
This would be great! But personally, I think making the teams random would be more fun.
But hey, team names and everything would make it quite exciting too. I'm open, guys!
-
HM: Marisa/Koishi
Soku: I'm so bad it doesn't even matter
I like the idea and it sounds fun... until someone in the team loses and then expectational/obligatory feelings multiply self blame and disappointment.
Hopefully people will be cool and that won't really happen though.
Then of course the chosen v.s. random thing.
Chosen teams could become unfair for obvious reasons, but random teams could also be unfair because the team really only is as good as the worst of the two in some/most cases.
So really it's about which of these two options could be worse. Having both kind of has both the best and the worst of each and it could maybe be settled by vote or blah blah this isn't going anywhere is it?
Just pointing some stuff out, but feel completely free to ignore all of what I said.
-
If it makes you guys feel better no I wasn't serious about the Renee/Koishi team. That'd be too unfair, and besides I have fun fighting Renee. It gets really hype between us :V

Oh, a new tourney proposal?, I am all in for Shinkirou Tourneys xD
The teams mechanics sounds intersting, but all in all its quite simple. I dont mind it as long as teams are made in a rather even fashion. I mean, grouping the strongest togheter, thats a no good. I agree it should be randomized... but to some degree it should also be manipulated. Not just throw everyone into a big case and be picking up and group them as they come by, more like, create groups based on skill levels and group take one from the most skilled group and one from the less skilled one, thus creating a more balanced team.
The problem with this is that, its not like we already have a way to measure who are the strongest and who are the weakest... sure, Renee and Gpop are currently some of the stronger fellas around, but we dont know for the rest. I dont think the last tourney is enough to properly measure skill levels.
Well, in any case, im all up for the HM tourney... we would just need a fair way to even the teams as best as possible.
-
I've decided that I will not be randomising teams. This completely retracts from it being a team tournament - people should have the freedom to choose their partner. We might as well just run a 1on1 tournament if I randomise things.
-
If it makes you guys feel better no I wasn't serious about the Renee/Koishi team. That'd be too unfair, and besides I have fun fighting Renee. It gets really hype between us :V
No biggie. I'm actually looking forward on fighting him, and you, again anyway. ;)
Wanna team-up, Sahuaro? We're both pretty so-so so I guess it wouldn't be unfair or anything.
-
This sounds pretty fun, I'm in~
-
How does this time next month sound for people? (for the 2v2 tournament.)

if it's a Saturday I can make it. Fridays are really iffy for me because I got class at 3pm EST (3 hours from now)

Yeah, hoping for all the tournaments to be held Saturday. Or at least spread over Friday and Saturday. HM can definitely be on Saturday though.
-
Saturday please! I'm mostly free on that day.
As for the time, making it not too late ought to be nice.

It'll be hosted probably sometime decent for me, where the majority can still make it. If I remember correctly, you're in SEA?

Yep. Indonesian guy over here~
I had to put an all-nighter for those tourneys.

-
Hi Shima!
Put me in Soku please, teamless.
-
wow that looks cool or awesome
if i join the tournament im will be just massing buttons, so i will lose anyway
looking forward to matches.
-
I should get around making an actual team :V
-
I'll play Soku and IaMP, haven't decided on a team or teamname for both games.
-
@shadow
Do you want to team up with me?
-
no problem with that, maybe we should make our team name mahjong related then? :p
-
Seems nice. haha
-
I signed up for Soku under the team BlastARC with my friend Brynsear.
-
Fudgey/Ganondork and I got our team. I'm thinking of going with the team name, "The GG's" if he sticks with Ganondork though :V
-
Sahuaro and me! Team name "HijiMiko". This may or may not change.
Also, I wanna join Soku too! No team yet.
Though I can't promise that I'll be able to participate.

For HM, please pick someone IN YOUR REGION to be your teammate! Please also let me know which region you'll be playing out of when you sign-up in this thread.
-
Team me up with EduardoGFS
"STEEL-Type Team"
-
I'll advertise this tournament on my channel once I upload the video match between raindrops and I :V
-
I'll join the HM tourney but I aint got a teammate. I'm in the central US region fyi.
-
I will join both soku and HM, which I neither of them have a teammate for. (EU)
-
The tournaments will be taking place on the 26th of October! I'll keep this thread up-to-date on times and such when I have everything worked out. Thanks for the turnout so far, this is looking great!
-
Woo, Tournaments I can actually make! I'll join with the IaMP and HM crowds, although I doubt anyone here is from Australia...
-

Need me to add you to the players without a team list?
-

Hey, I'm from Indonesia! Wanna team-up with me for HM?
I'm planning to team-up with Renee since among the ones I know, he has the best connection with me even though we're not in the same region. But if you don't mind, we can team-up to make it easier for everyone.
EDIT:
No good I guess. SEA and Australia are still in different region.
-
Sorry, I tend to take huge breaks from forums. I 'spose we could try and see if our connection is good sometime. I think our connection could still be good, but my own connection can be unstable so I dunno if we could even connect with our IP's. But I dunno if it could just be my native IP cause I rarely ever use Hamachi.
-
confirming my participation in IaMP and Soku with Fallensoul (I've talked with him already), the team name will be Suikantsu Suuwankou (unless he has something against it). I don't think that many people on this forum will understand the reference :p
so far my modem's being uncooperative, so I can't port forward stuff. But so far I've been able to netplay PoFV with Hamachi (LogMeIn Hamachi 2.0), if that information is of any help.
-
HM 1.30 is out. (http://www.tasofro.net/touhou135/index.html#tf029-p) Enjoy!
Semi-related, I got back to my Remi in Soku and improved my game a little; little things like cancelling j.2a into j.2c on block go a long way for keeping the advantage at hand, it seems. Always up for challenges on #sokumaidens, come fight me if you like. :V I must feed on the tears of those hit by Trickster -> Gungnir!

I live in Australia as well, want to try out your internet connection with me? I play a bit of HM.
-
Okay, I really need to get some of you on Skype. Cause my time spent here is pathetic.
-
Just under a week to go until the tournament - there's still time to sign up! If anyone wishes to participate but doesn't have a team member, let me know and I'll either match you with someone from the without a team list randomly or match you with someone on the day. If anyone has any questions, feel free to let me know!
With how the brackets look for HM and IaMP, these two will most likely be cancelled.
-
No luck finding a teammate :derp:
-
Reminder that the tournament will be happen in under 24 hours! You'll still be able to sign up until 9 and a half hours from when this post is made. If you want to play but don't have a team mate, let me know and I'll try and sort something out.
EDIT: Okay, haven't been at the PC for the last 3 hours, so sign-up time has been extended by that much. Sign-ups open until 1600UTC!
-
Dunno if this is the place to ask for matches or whatnot, but if anyone is ever interested in playing, I'm up for some matches in Soku here and there. Of course, you'd have to be able to direct host (I cannot since I don't understand port forwarding)~
-
Here you can discuss Hisoutensoku, Immaterial and Missing Power and Hopeless Masquerade! For finding matches, come join us on IRC.
irc.ppirc.net #sokumaidens (http://webchat.ppirc.net/?channels=sokumaidens)
If you're looking for a game, stick around a bit before leaving - a lot of us are in several other channels so aren't always looking at #sokumaidens.
:D
-
Oh well I'm derp lol. Reading comprehension = 0!

I have been mentally scarred by Xenomic. He's too good compared to me D:
-
Recently picked up Sanae at SupremeBogus' suggestion - awesome fun so far! The ability to change bullet's trajectory is so damn fun - can't get enough of it. Also, every deck I use will run bombs because those are too amazing, even if they do kill me a lot. As far as I can tell, there's an awful lot of gaps in Sanae's attacks and combos, it's really impressive what people can do with her and still put up some sort of a fight!
-
Another reason to play Sanae is that it's always hilarious when you blow yourself up. :D

I look forward to more of your suicide bombs. Those are fun to experience.

Had a little talk with a few people on IRC and thought it'd be good to have something similar to "Soku Weekends", or whatever it may be. There's a few ideas for this, such as weekly round robins / tournaments, weekly get togethers for friendlies etc. I personally think it'd be nice for the community to have a time where they'll know someone will be online to play against them.
What's everyone's thoughts? Any ideas?
If anyone wants to organise something similar for HM or some other game, I'd be more than happy!
-
I've no quarrels about it. Go for it I'd say.
-
I would love to have one for HM, if we can invite the people in #shinkirou for it.
-
That would be great!
It'll make sure that we'll get to play some match whenever I come. I can use that for HM, Soku, or Melty.
What will you do about the time then?
-

If you or someone else from the HM community is willing to organise this then you can use #sokumaidens all you like to host it! Just let me know if I can help with anything.
-
Anyone want to play in a small tournament this or next weekend? IaMP, HM, Soku.
I'll be hosting Melty and any other fighter people want too. Check: this thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,15505.0.html) for non-Touhou.
Preferred dates? Times? All suggestions welcome.
-
I'm in! Next week. 12.3/13.5 masher~
-
You already know but for posterity, in for Soku as always. Looking forward to throwing more bats at people, it's been a while.
-
Any weekend in the next 2 or so months is fine for the tournament. (Got some time off work. o/) Probably wont be in the next two weeks.
-
You know I'm 100% down for HM :V

Sweeeet. Reckon anyone from #shinkirou is willing to join if it's not totally dead now?

thing is that as much they still play the game, they're not really interested in joining tournaments in general unfortunately.

Hisoutensoku tournament sign ups are ready! (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/fotksoku)
To be played on the 1st of February at 19:00PM UTC!
Thanks to Gpop for the tournament name!
-
Hmmm....methinks I should probably stick outta this, but wish you all the best of luck~
-
Can you reserve me a spot for the Hisoutensoku tournament for now? (I think I might be busy February 1'st. . .)

You can sign up and if you can't make it, let me know and I'll remove you from the bracket. :)
EDIT: I have now started uploading replays from PhoenixM's Japanese replay pack. Currently going through Patchouli's replays. To see what I've already uploaded, click here (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?feature=edit_ok&list=PLL2pyJKzgXhMu3nMdwGCI1mSL4Eq0Pwj2). I'll slowly be uploading absolutely everything there is in the pack - hopefully some people will find this useful.

Uh, help LOL
I've been having BSODs with the sketchy software I've always been using so I've stopped using it and am now using a Dualshock 3 xinput wrapper which emulates my PS3 controller 1:1 like an xbox 360 controller. Problem is I don't see a way to really turn that off so I've lost dpad usage in soku (works for menus but not character select or ingame). Strangely enough dpad doesn't work only for character select in hopeless masquerade but it works everywhere else in that game (so I have to select character by analog stick).
I don't think I am ready to master the PS3 analog stick! I don't play arcade style!
Quick Shimatora share with me your wisdom on how to get this joytokey to work because I must not be doing it right. Can be a tutorial for morons if necessary! My controller is now perfectly emulated as an xbox 360 controller if it matters (because I can't turn it off to plug-and-play PS3 like I did before, it's stuck activated as an xbox 360 now, I switched between plain and emulated before, now I'm full emulated D:)
Edit: Wait! I might not be screwed. I have figured out a solution with xpadder. I just need to remember to use keyboard first so the controller uses keyboard input instead of well, not working.
-
For anyone who might be interested, there's a tournament hosted by Tessiro from #hisouten happening this weekend! Lots of players turning up. Different set up too. Should be interesting! Corner Assault (http://challonge.com/cornerassault/)
-
Looks like I won't be busy the 1'st of February! (Thank goodness for Re-scheduling) I guess I'm signing up.
-
Tournament is over! Thanks to everyone who participated, SpikeSpiegel who helped seed and keep track of scores, and finally Tessiro, Zaton and adepht for the excellent stream coverage. Grats to Magister for taking it! Results: http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/fotksoku (http://sokumaidens.challonge.com/fotksoku)
-
Hrmph...so it seems this place has been dead for this long? Feels really weird. Nobody play Soku anymore? .=.
-
I still play Soku but I have not played online recently.
I should see if I can find a match with someone.
I think most people are occupied with HM though :(.
-
HM not popular. Hisouten play as play, and the long-forgotten HM,. I myself am playing it then I have a desire
-
I play HM when people bug me to play it (and when I'm available).
I don't have fun with Soku anymore :(
-
I retired from soku because I'm just not satisfied with my performance (haven't been playing much to fix that either) and HM is unplayable from my state without rollback so yeah don't play that either. I haven't played HM almost all year (and my latest spectate was 2 games on March 15).
-
I can't connect with anyone recently. To anywhere, not even with fellow Indonesian. In any game. At all.
Still figuring out what's the problem.
Well, a little off-topic. There's a HM and Melty Blood tournament held today from afternoon until night.
http://twipla.jp/events/66530
(http://twipla.jp/imgs/1406/618764920333968.jpg)
I forgot to post it sooner, so I don't think anyone nearby can still join. :3
There probably will be some live streams so if you're interested, check on it.
-
Goddamn, the only two anime fighters I currently play now. I want in on this shit, at least a livestream on it.
