A lot has been going on lately, not only for Option Select, but for myself personally, including the SFL fighting game community as a whole. So, I wanted to take some time to give everyone some updates on a lot of what's going on.

General site updates

First of all, as far as the site goes, I had mentioned recently that I was working on a bunch of things, including, but not limited to: general site upgrades/maintenance, getting the match video database up to date, updating character info for AE, new tutorials, and some other smaller stuff. This is all still happening, but has all been put on hold, because my main PC died right before Evo, and all my free time since then has been spent trying to get it back up and running. So I just wanted people to be aware, that the progress hasn't stopped, it has just been severely limited by the fact that I don't have access to my PC right now.

Shirts

On that note, for people who inquired about ordering shirts: this has fallen into the same category. I had a list on my PC of inquiries, which I'll have to go back through my email to recreate. Don't worry, I still have your emails, I just need some time to do this. ...

As promised, here's part 2 of my MvC3 Team Combos. This is basically all stuff that I've come up with since I made the first video.

In the first video, I kept every single combo realistic. In other words, they were all real combos that are useful, and I do in real matches, consistently. This time, I took a few liberties in a few combos, and added in a few things that I wouldn't consider consistent/realistic for real matches. For example, a Crazy Dance DHC glitch, and a few Acid Rains here and there. However, even in the few cases where I used Acid Rain loops, I kept it "realistic" by only doing it in the corner (the Ammy to Dante DHC always takes you to the corner), and limiting it to two reps, which is considered "universal," since Acid Rain reps are character specific.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this one as much as you did the last one. More stuff is coming! Again, if you wanna see these combos in action, come by our stream every Monday (9PM EST) and Thursday (7PM EST).

Just wanted to remind everyone that we're running our usual Throwdown Thursday stream tonight. However, it will unfortunately also be Timothy's last stream. Sadly, Timothy has to leave us for a while, so to wish him farewell, tonight's stream will be focused on him. We'll likely do a Timothy Gauntlet, some FT5/10 exhibition matches, and maybe even some live training mode exhibitions and/or QA sessions.

So if you've enjoyed Timothy's work, definitely come by the stream tonight and watch his last matches for a while, and make any requests of what you want to see!

The response to Timothy's play on the stream was awesome, especially once the videos got released. So, (in very mayoral fashion) to give the people what they want, Timothy worked with me to record some of his amazing combos and setups with his team of Haggar, Doctor Doom, and Spencer.

One or two of the combos are a little strict and unreliable for a real match, but almost everything you see Timothy is doing on a regular basis. So if you like what you see, and want to see how he applies it, make sure to tune into the stream Mondays and Thursdays!

More stuff soon!

Man, been a while since we've had an update, huh? After Marvel came out, I know things have been kinda slow around here, and I'm gonna make an effort to change that. New SSF4 content probably wont happen until AE drops, because honestly, what's the point? So instead, I'll be doing some MvC3 videos. There are still no plans to implement any kind of "Marvel section" or anything to the site, but our youtube will still house tons of MvC3 match videos and strategy/combo videos.

So to start, I'm filling the most common request I get, every time we stream: people wanted me to make a video showing my Dante combos, with notation. Done and done. I even went a step further and did a video of team combos for all my characters. The transcript is in the video's description.

Hope you guys enjoy. If you wanna see these combos in action, check out our stream every Monday (9PM EST) and Thursday (7PM EST). Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and of course the Justin.tv page to be notified when we go live!
