As long as I know in advance, generally I can be online: Weekdays: After 5:30 PM (6 is probably a safer bet), until 11 or 12 or so. Weekends: Whenever. I'm in Eastern Time. I'll be playing VOOT much more than usual next week. My girlfriend will be gone on vacation so I'll have the place to myself. N...

What's with the jumping-up-and-down-without-attacking thing? I've had a couple ranked matches like that.

I wonder how much the prices for Saturn and Dreamcast sticks will drop if official twin sticks are released...

Also, more good matches with Zaarock today. Always a good time since we both use fast characters and are pretty evenly matched. It's weird. I think Zaarock and I are 50/50 against each other overall, but on any given day one of us will win over 80% of the time. Today was not my day. :? I played wit...

Dave! I think I played you in a couple ranked matches the other day (Dordray, Gsilverfish?), I had that super lucky crCC finish right under your scythe? :) I thought I was done for! Yeah, that was me. And to think I had the audacity to think I might actually win a match against a Dordray. :lol: Doo...

What are these long range Dordrays doing that's so troublesome? I can't speak for other VRs (or for good Specineff players :?), but long-range Dordray shuts down my offense. RW attacks bounce off at mid and long range until you strip off a decent amount of V-Armor. Actually, if he's at 100% V-Armor...

I also versed sandsfel....good matches also with him too..... I see him in the lobby a lot. A lot of times he's the only person with a decent connection when I'm online. He's probably sick of me challenging him all the time. :) Also, more good matches with Zaarock today. Always a good time since we...

I'm so grateful that VOOT is a successful franchise overseas because when I log on at 2am PST, all I see are Japanese players packing the lobby with 1 or 2 bar connections producing lag-free matches. Without the JP players, I'm sure I'd be looking at empty lobbies that late at night. I've been seei...

Good games DeepInTheHops, DooM, and velocity7! Thanks for annihilating me, everybody! :D You guys are a lot better than the random people I play in ranked matches (where I spend most of my time). My only gripe was that my match against velocity7 was really laggy (despite having 2 or 3 bars); it was...

He crushed me the few times I played against him. I used to think Fei was the hardest VR to land a hit on, not anymore (for Specineff, at least).

Had fun trying, though.

Bad may be misleading, but I have finally been bitched at by a player named Shadow Sheldon. I've played against him, too. In one match he missed with a surfing ram so I did a jump cancel and hit him with a standing RW. He sent me a message saying that I had no honor shooting him in the back like th...

Raiden gives me problems aswell, so unless there is secret strat Im missing out on to make that 6.5. Really? In my experience Raiden is the easiest VR to beat with Specineff. He's big and slow so it's a lot easier to hit him with CW attacks. And unlike Dordray his attacks don't go through obstacles...

If only they came pre-modded (for a price, of course).

I saw this list, not sure how official or generally accepted it is: http://ot.virtual-on.com/index.php?%A5%C0%A5%A4%A5%A2%A5%B0%A5%E9%A5%E0 It's kind of disheartening that I'm using the "best" VR and generally get my ass kicked. :oops: Even the VRs that I lose to almost every time (Dordray...

The most powerful Spec players I've fought tend to avoid mid range and go for a long-distance defensive game, and considering Dordray's offense I don't blame them. I played against an experienced Dordray player the other day (like 650-620 or something like that) and it was actually a fairly easy ma...

That's not too far from where I grew up (North Royalton). I guess it's not that close, but compared to everybody else here it is.

Dordray really is a tough matchup for Specineff, when I'm playing Dordray (which is most of the time) I often feel pretty bad when a vs Spec match shows up. Kind of like how Specineff players feel when they're challenged by a Raiden. :) I try keep my distance but that damn drill always gets me. Plu...

As a Specineff player I know exactly what you mean. Dordray's V-Armor is insane. I even vented about it a little bit over at Shmups Forum a week ago. Specineff's RW is pretty much worthless most of the time, which doesn't leave you with much firepower to work with. :| I also struggle with Angelan fo...

From the start, I've been experiencing frequent dropouts shortly before the matches begin(sometimes a bit afterwards). I think the game counts those as losses, they just don't show up right away. Does it count as a loss even if the match hasn't started yet? If so, that really sucks. I've had discon...

I think you're the only person I've run into so far that actually has a headset, although I got a gold account specifically for VOOT and haven't played any other games online yet.
