[ninja dog]

I want it more than any other fighter this year. I just love Arc Systems so much. I'll probably be the one dominating the game at CAG. :lol:



I will reserve my first match of Blaz Blue ever for you and still win.

[distgfx]

Dude...already predicted in this...


I know its already been predicted, that's why I'm saying it. :razz:

They'll need some place else to open up the awesome arcades.

Still won't be Florida. Old people don't play vidya games. ;)

Better than Cali, I used to live there, a lot of bad history in that state. Mainly the fact I lived in the butthole of it. I'd rather live in "Suckramento" than Yermo.

[PhrostByte]

You guys think BlazBlue will be hard to learn? I was never into Guilty Gear.

[heavyd853]

Theres a BB cab in Seattle.

Its not that hard to learn, although it feels really really odd at first.

[Jimbo Slice]

BB is at University Pin., haven't had time to get over there and play it though. I heard Furries consistently hold it down though, which is both awesome / weird.

[JEKKI]

You guys think BlazBlue will be hard to learn? I was never into Guilty Gear.it's easy to learn, hard to master.

it's all chain combos like MVC games, so you can run up and be all like weak->mid->hard->special move.

it only gets harder as your combos become more complex along with the execution, which is kinda the whole point of this game and Guilty Gear as far as offensive play goes.

practice those EX Focus Cancels in SFIV lol, those short frame window button/dash inputs will help.

[Furashu]

I hope you break off from the USA and sink. :razz:

watch well float to japan and merge.

itll be Calijaforniapan

and well have unlimited BB to play in the arcades along with other games

[Jest]

Theres 1 BlazBlue cabinet in all of Canada, in the only decent arcade in Ontario so I'm told. You Cali $$$s are so lucky.

[distgfx]

watch well float to japan and merge.

itll be Calijaforniapan

and well have unlimited BB to play in the arcades along with other games

Then I'll make you sink. 8-)

Hot Damn!

Now again, I have to decide for BlzBlu & KOFXII...PS3, 360 or both?!?

Argh.

[controlcommerce]

That's every good news. I hope lag is their #1 issue. Anyone remember playing GGXX on XBL? UNPLAYABLE! But I have faith in BlazBlue. I'm going to listen to the podcast right now.

[JEKKI]

damn I really want one of those bag/calendar combos.

but for $50?!?!?! I can find much cheaper things that can collect just as much dust.

-_-

oh hay I jus caught up with the latest episode of Lost man that show is craziness!!

but romantic drama?!?! :puke:

omg less romance, more monsters and science plz

oh yeay I was also watching a porno,

then I played sum SFIV.

and they were singing that In De Structable song and I'm thinking to myself

dood... this song is about cock. seriously.

[Mr. Beef]

It's glorious how every other post from JEKKI contains something sig-worthy. :lol: Hella right about Lost though, I saw a few episodes a couple years back, then something else happened, and I forgot all about the show.

GGs option! Those games where I was the Judge from Phoenix Wright Gouken were really fun! Your Bison is way tricky, too. You don't know how many times I wanted to do my Ultra with Vega, only to have him to that single backflip.

[Nelo Ice]

lost is fucking awesome....also watch chuck yes had to throw that in there as well lol
also looks SFIV is still sellin like crazy was at target today and they only had 2 copies left after i someone buy one

GGs beef. I seriously need to stop using stomp to just get owned whenever you walk backwards. I also need to stop trying to battle your claw with my kicks, just doesn't seem to work. All in all, it was fun, hope to play you again sometime.

One of the new stages for BlazBlue console.

[RelentlessRolento]

Rufus is good but too all over the place for me to learn how to play him.

I'm working on my Fei now since he seems like the only other character other than Dan I can actually play decent. I love his f+MK hop over, it's great for low blocking opponents.

Appreciate it mate! Finally a new fast paced fighter is coming to consoles. I'll take MVC/GG chain combo-fests over footsies and pokes any day of the week (doesn't help that I suck at such play styles)

Here's to hoping such a fast paced fighter can handle online well. If so, that shit is gonna own my life for a while.

[Furashu]

nvm on kz2

[JEKKI]

now I'm down to 1200 BP on xbox.

playing Chun now lol, losing a lot.

but 2 ppl messaged me to say good game, prolly coz I wasnt using Ken lol.

[Furashu]

woo im up to 1450 BPs somehow.

i played vs RYU CPU on hardest for like 30 mins straight.
helped me a ton facing shotos since i blew completely.

[Jest]

Can't get past 150 BP... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHH

Everyone else has 1.5k to 3k+

[BlueSwim]

I haven't touched SFIV in about a week. I don't know if it's because of things being busy as of late or what, but I'm just not being drawn to it for some reason. That will most likely change when my TE stick arrives next month(hopefully... ugh!).

[SmallWind]

[gigan54]

so there was a sf4 tourney held at the best buy in downey, CA today. I took it all the way with my honda. there were about 90 some compeitors that showed up for it.

the names were picked from random and i was actually in the first match. lol.

there were like 6 or 7 decent fighters in the whole lot: 2 blankas, one claw, a boxer, a ken and a sagat

all in all i think i played about 8 or 9 matches. I met some cool guys that said they want to start a fighting game clique or something so i gave him my number. it's always more fun playing actual people than online matches.

so i won a $75 best buy gift card. I don't know what i should spend it on.

[Mr. Beef]

That's awesome, gigan!

[heavyd853]

GJ Gigan, keep repping everyone with your ballin ass skills.

I can't wait to play you guys in marvel :o


Also, GG JEKKI! I didn't know what to expect with your Blanka, and we had a hella gross match as a result.

[jer7583]

I love fighting bad akuma, ryu, ken, and sagat players.

Chun has so many good options to fuck those guys over when they're abusing their high power moves.

Is anyone else using Chun very much? I really like her SF4 version. Maybe even better than ST?

I hear she kicks butt in 3S but I never got into that game at the time.

[eastx]

I don't like how Chun Li has no proper anti-air move besides the EX spinning bird kick, and her jumping priority isn't as high as it should be. She's still lots of fun to play though.

[jer7583]

Chun Li has lots of anti-air moves, they're just extremely situational. And learning those situations and what to use in them is part of her depth. She doesn't have a catch all dragon punch-alike, but she can counter almost any jump-in with the right knowledge about the game.

A lot of her jump ins are not as reactionary either and require you to see what's coming very quickly, or predict based on knowing your oppponent.

Some would say it's a weakness, but I like the depth of it and her other strengths balance it out.

[JEKKI]

dood! I'm using Chun!

trying to... lol.

that's the segway into the next part...

it's contest/giveaway time bitches!!!

what?!?!?!

check it out, here's my player data on xbox:

http://i42.tinypic.com/jh3tjl.jpg

905 BP, 431 matches.

The contest is this...

if I continue to EXCLUSIVELY play Chun-Li in ranked matches, how long do you think it will take for me to reach 0 BP assuming I continue to suck awfully with her lol.

please note, if I'm playing a player match with somebody I will still use other characters. The wins and losses will not count towards my BP, but they will count towards my total match count.

so yeay... PM me what you think my match count will be the moment I hit 0 BP.

the person who guesses closest without going over wins!!

but if I never hit 0 BP, then technically I win since it means I can play a good Chun!!!

the winner will receive one of these:

a bag to carry your stash in! whatever your stash may be...

[jer7583]

I hate seth so much. I can't wait to unlock everyone so I never have to play arcade mode again.

[eastx]

Dude, she doesn't even have a proper non-special move anti-air attack. Her old, good Roundhouse kicks have been relegated to combo-only status.

From http://mycheats.1up.com/view/section/3163881/25963/street_fighter_4/xbox_360:

Chun-Li does not have the absolute best anti-airs in the game but when she has EX meter her EX Spinning Bird Kick is her best bet. It will beat most jump in attacks when timed correctly.

Her crouching Hard Kick is also a good attack to knock them out of the air, especially when the opponent tries to jump over her Light Punch Kikoken. Walk back slightly and execute a crouching Hard Kick when they jump at you and it will beat most attacks with ease.

And the official strategy guide (which I know has many problems) agrees that EX spinning bird kick is about it.

I don't enjoy that she has been nerfed, but yes, she is still fun to play.

[jer7583]

again, like I said, things like jumping LK, jumping HK, Jumping double HP, her kikouken, back and LP, close RH, medium punch, ducking MP, and many others can act as Anti Airs, in the right situation.

EX SBK will stop most all jump ins, yes, but it's also situational. When you have EX meter and want to burn it.

Also check out here for more info on her AA options.

GGs heavyD! I really need to work on that timing for Gouken's back throw > Ultra.

Also, when you crossed me up with Ken's Hurricane Kick > Ultra, my jaw was wide open, and wouldn't shut for a while!

I need to do that at least once to each of the caggers, I'm pretty sure you and axc and like 2 others are the only ones so far. Its such a hilarious desperation trick, "oh shit I'm dying, I guess Ill jump in ex tatsu ultra! OH SHIT IT WORKED?"

Also, was your Dan getting caught in roses ultra while backdashing (IE, running like a bitch) as goddamn funny for you as it was me?


Also, fuck vega!

It was still funny, as unexpected as it was. So many pokes in that game!

Also, I totally thought running away with Dan would've worked to get away from Rose's Ultra...I was poorly mistaken. I think that may have been the funniest thing I've seen in a match, though. :lol:

[hankmecrankme]

I haven't played any randoms online, thus missing out on Kenfest 2009. I haven't even played SFIV in a few days. I should work on my Gouken some more later.

[Mr. Beef]

I broke 3k BP today! :whee:

I booted someone from my lobby who only had 1 bar of latency, and I get a message from him asking me if I was scared. I told him he had 1 bar, and he tells me that there's not much of a lag issue unless there's 0 bars (which is true). Personally though, my experiences with < 2 bars in ranked have been less than happy, especially with a charge character.

Oh yeah, before I forget! Hey option, you should use EX Headstomp against any Vegas you come across, or just use it in general. It does so much damage, and the invincibility helps out on wakeup, and against Vega.

[Jimbo Slice]

I didn't enter Jekki cause I didn't think you'd reach 0 BP. That's crazy talk.

so I kno like ppl hate Ken players n shyt.

I dont mind them, what I mind is when they have these menacing screen names like

"Elite"

"Slayer"

"owns"

etc etc. any type of name that somehow suggests that they are superior in comparison to others.

man fukk that, if u're the shyt then u dont gotta go and tell ppl, u already are the shyt!!

like me I'm hella cool, I dont use my screen name to brag or anything...

[option.iv]

np traj, ggs. Going back and forth between turbo and sfiv is hard for me.

nice score Jekki, you truly are 1337.

[blitz6speed]

I havent played SF4 in a few days, i am kinda burned out on it and dont like facing randoms who just disconnect after a few losses. Once they bring back quarter matches im sure ill get more into it.

btw, every blazblue video i see makes me less and less excited about the game, to the point where i may not even bother getting it. I mean, seriously, what is up with with those crazy combos going on. Its like a slower MvC2, and without the mango. Not really into all that, more into the pace that SF2/4 play at.

[asianxcore]

So I recently found the option in Online games to search for "More Skilled Players", which I'm guessing finds people with more battle points? So far I've run into people under what I have, which is about 2500BP.

generally you'll find people closer to your range. i use "same skilled" which tends to gets me people from a range -1000 < my score < 200.


i haven't been following the blazblue news. when's the console release?



markman: i'm starting to get in gear for anime expo stuff, i wanna run a few ideas by you since i've never actually ran a tournament before, but i have some ideas i wanna run by you. also if you can, can you PM or AIM me harry's contact info? he's my sponsor contact and it's probably better for me to get it from you than to go through the convoluted and busy channel of AX, haha =)

on the ListenUp podcast someone asked if 2009 was the year of fighters; he's like "yeay SF4, SamSho anthology, new KOF and 'BlueBlaz'"

and the response was like "what about last year? We had Soul Calibur IV, Smash Bros, and MK v DC, how is 2009 any different? Plus, BlazBlue is a real bad name"

and then they said "yeay and I doubt Tekken 6 will do any good, it aint no street fighter. I was way back into Tekken 3 before but it hasnt been the same since then. Tekken Tag came out and it was a horrible game! It was such a cash in"

[Mr. Beef]

I may not like Tekken, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's gonna be fuckin' huge.

I lost 100+ BP in one game last night because I forgot to change my controls back from when I was doing Seth's Hard Challenges. :(

[distgfx]

I may not like Tekken, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's gonna be fuckin' huge.

They're definitely underestimating Tekken, I'm in the same position as you. It may not be as big as SFIV's launch but it'll definitely be bigger than KoFXII or BlazBlue and then some. It's a well known fighter, I could mention its name to any of my friends and they'd say how awesome Tekken (3 specifically) was. I hope they do what they did with T5 and give it an arcade stick bundle. That'd be nice...

[RelentlessRolento]

Tekken 6 will be my real christmas. I'll rape children to get it. It's the one game people can't talk shit about around me. To be honest, it's the only series of games that I'd cut off a limb for.

So gaiyz.. I went up to the UMBC game room today and it was early, before all the dudes with sticks came up.. so I was playing on a pad, which is good I guess cuz I think Round 3 will be on pads. Anyway, I was taking turns playing random and beating scrubs. I beat this one dude using one hand with Zangief.. all I did was spam 360 and LB hahahha. OH YEAH, then the stick people came up and one guy had an American style stick... it was sooooo weird, I couldn't get used to it. :\

Don't get me started... I had Hamsterz for a while... got obsessed with it for a week. not joking >_<


... Wow, can you explain what you love about the series? I've never seen such passion for it. :lol:

It's the only game I've ever played where the controls feel like butter to me. it feels like an extension of my body. Plus I'm a nut about power based fighting and Tekken has a huge emphasis on it. Also, love characters that are badass and the entire series puts emphasis on badass.

[notorious_pip]

Wait, so you guys aren't kidding about Hamsterz? :-s

[Mr. Beef]

I always wanted to learn to use Kuma when I played Tekken briefly. It didn't pan out well.

[RelentlessRolento]

Wait, so you guys aren't kidding about Hamsterz? :-s

I am at least... don't know about Rodimus.

I always wanted to learn to use Kuma when I played Tekken briefly. It didn't pan out well.

I did as well, but ever since T4 came out with his bear stance I got lost, but liked him more. I've always had Jack as a secondary main though. He's always been my character to fall back on if I'm having trouble kicking ass... he seems to always save me.

on that note Jack6 is insanely fast compared to his old days...

[notorious_pip]

Kuma/Panda had HBS in tag.

[asianxcore]

Nice job!

Funny thing is that he posts on SRK, so I went ahead and posted the pictures there too :)

So if you manage to get thrown 9 times in one match (all of which you can tech out of, unless you are throwing random fireballs/baited Shoryu's) who is the scrub?

[heavyd853]

I got a couple ragequits yesterday, but no hate messages!

I was upset!

[Rodimus]

Wait, so you guys aren't kidding about Hamsterz? :-s

Yeah I was kidding. But I must admit I've actually contemplated buying it. I think one day I'll get it as a gag gift cause I joke about it so much.

Nice job asian. I love reading peoples hate messages. Keep us updated if he responds on SRK.

[distgfx]

Why rage quit? It's a hell of a lot more fun to play someone who's good and kicks your ass, I must be the only one who loves a good beating. It helps you learn from it. =P

[Rodimus]

I'd be lying if I said I don't get upset when I loose too much, but I don't quit matches, that's a puss move. I get worse the more upset I get. So if I find myself getting too angry I politely just stop playing for a while.

Eveytime I get someone that quits I simply send them a message with a little smiley face. It seems to tick em' off even more--> :) It's kinda like saying, "I don't mind if you just quit, but I still won." I get lots of hate messages after I send those.

[distgfx]

Yikes... it's just a game, no need for them to rage quit. Guess I'm just more laid back, I have fun even if I get my ass kicked.

[Arikado]

I still haven't gotten any hatemail. :(

[asianxcore]

Nice job asian. I love reading peoples hate messages. Keep us updated if he responds on SRK.

Hope he does. I find it odd that he threatened to kill someone on SRK and he hasn't been banned there yet :)

Also regarding T6, I suck at Tekken (and most 3-D fighters) but I'll still be buying it. My girlfriend loved playing T5DR and should have fun playing T6.

[kainzero]

i despise the fact that i haven't gotten a single hate message.

all i get are compliments
probably because i use sakura

[distgfx]

I've gotten a hate message before ... but not for the reason I wanted it to be. I'll just say this. Never make a wireless controller for a fighting game, ever. Batteries eventually run out and your character goes out of control until it finally cut off.

EDIT: I'd like to note that this controller couldn't be charged before anyone mentions that, it was the FightPad. Gotta replace the batteries manually. :lol:

[Mr. Beef]

I got a hate message, but only because he ragequit and I responded with "lol u mad?"

[Inf^Shini]

Anyone gonna be on the PS3 tomorrow morning? I need to get back into SFIV so I'll be on for a couple hours.

[Mr. Beef]

How early tomorrow morning?

I only tried 3S because my roommate was playing it, and he needed someone to help him practice with Alex (a moving punching bag, if you will). I picked Yun only because I use him in CvS, and he was weird, but I still liked him. Didn't have the quickness to do the...whatsitcalled Custom Combo SA.

Got owned up by the first decent El Fuerte I ever played today. So hard to get used to. I also got owned by the first decent Viper I've played, although that one was much closer.

I'm getting frustrated with 4 though, because although I've put much more time into learning Rufus than Sagat, I still play much better with Sagat. It's really frustrating. I haven't been able to get everything to completely click with Rufus yet for whatever reason.

Also temporarily taking a break from Boxer, trying to figure out if I should keep on pursuing that.

As far as fighting game guides, the SF Anniversary is good, probably third best one out there...

First goes to the old school Alpha 2 Guide by all the old OG SF players. Second is the European Tekken 5.0 PS2 guide. The European guide even had an arcade stick section!

[Mr. Beef]

Jimbo, I don't know how applicable this advice is (since I was using Vega, and I've never played against a decent Rufus), but one thing you can do with Rufus is just rush their fucking faces off. The aforementioned Rufus did just that, with dive kicks, throws, EX Mesiah Kicks, the works. Couldn't get a round on him. Hell, couldn't even get him to half health.

[hankmecrankme]

New KOF in summer. Check.
Blazblue in summer. Check.
Tekken in Fall/Winter. Check.

Any other games I'm missing? (Already got past big ones like Soul Cal, VF and Doa. I haven't picked up MK vs DC yet because the price is a bit high for my liking.)

Yeah, that's what I try to do, against Fuerte it was hard though. I'm just really weak right now against all of the new characters because not many people pick them online, so when they do it's like WTF.

Haha yeah. I'm just really annoyed right now because I beat some dude fairly easily twice, but he was like 800 BP below me so I only got like 25 or something each time. Then he played me yet again (I just kept on creating matches) and I decided that since I handled him easily with Sagat, I'd try Gouken who I am not very good with but wouldn't mind getting better with. Long story short, I lost in Round 5 (who knew you couldn't combo Goukens air to air MP into Ultra?) and lost like 122 BP.

Nah I'm saying as he's in the air heavy kicking you, you can time a lariat and beat it before it hits you.

Apologies to Mr. Beef, sorry we couldn't get any games in today.

I had class as well as T.A work until 2pm today and then had work until 8pm. Got home, super tired but still worked out anyway.

Gotta get Bison/Vega practice.

For 'Gief, if you time it right you should be able to come out of block piledriving them before they are able to cr. medium kick

[kainzero]

nah, incorrect

if they do j.hk - c.mk - fireball with combo-like timing, you can't 360 them in the middle.

if they're slow on the c.mk then yeah you can.

the one thing i'm really confused about is using an FA for AA. sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't? can it be jabbed out of on a blocked roundhouse or something?

[BustaUppa]

lol, now in HD remix I keep trying to throw with LP+LK. Been playing too much IV!

Man I got dominated by this guy last night in a player room who used Ken every time. It bugs me how powerful the dragon punch is... I know I just gotta adjust my play style and be more patient and defensive, but it just seems like the Dragon Punch is the "right answer" in TOO many situations, know what I mean?

At least he wasn't a jumpkick/sweep scrub and could actually use the dragon punch effectively... but it bugs me (in any fighting game) when I use a different character in every match, and the other guy ALWAYS uses the same guy. I know I could just switch rooms but I was getting more and more motivated to try and beat the guy. :-P

Well, so far I only have experience with charge characters. But in SF4, can't you mash out special moves? (i.e. do the SPD motion while being hit, or SRK repeatedly) If they are doing a combo, of course you can't grab after the jump in heavy kick since you'll remain in block stun. But if they don't link a combo, the special can come out. I personally hate this aspect of the game (i really hate anything where mashing buttons comes into play).

I guess a good way to go against the jump in heavy kick, you can anticipate and catch them in the air before they release the attack. Then hopefully the other person will have to guess whether or not to release their kick earlier in the air or later. If they release to early you can punish them when they land. If they release too late, you can anticipate and catch em in the air before they release their attack.

Sure it becomes a guessing game, but at least the opponent doesn't always know you'll just be taking the jump in heavy on the ground.

And I believe gief can use his lariat as anti air, especially when used late (when the opponent is right next to you).

[Mr. Beef]

I suppose if you have meter to burn, you can block the jump kick, and turn it into an EX Powerbomb, that way the armor would suck up the low medium. That's if you have meter to use, though.

Almost done with the normal time trials. I think it was #18, but whichever number it was, it was a fucking liar. It said that I had unlimited SC, but apparently I don't, and instead, I can't block. So I figure, "well if I can't block, I might as well use someone with nice damage." And for some reason, Zangief popped into my head, so I decided to use him for the first time. Didn't do too badly, and I realized he's actually pretty fun. I ain't gonna use him as a new main (or even a third), but for friendlies or something, it's nice to know I can just use him for giggles.

[suko_32]

I was thinking of picking up gief once I have a stick and learn to properly use it. :P

The DP is the wrong answer in too many situations.

In SF2 you can get away with spamming a Ken jab DP because it has decent range and it was only vulnerable on the top of his head, and you don't have to worry about any huge ground combos because there aren't any. And the recovery was great. Usually you had to worry about people with powerful throw games and then you can easily tone yourself down once people get in the habit of throwing.

In SF4, the range is reduced, the recovery extended, and strong ground combos make it hard to DP spam. What does make it more effective is the easy input and the reversal timing window. You can literally df, df+P almost any time in the middle of a link combo and if they mess up they'll eat a DP (which isn't as bad as eating a 360, also insanely easy).

So here's what you do and do not do.
1: Don't jump when you can be DPed.
-Feel free to jump over fireballs but DON'T jump in a free situation. Well this is applicable to every character since you should be anti-aired all the time on a free jump.
2: Don't do any low reward or high risk link combos.
-Rapid fire jabs and shorts do piss poor damage so don't do them unless you're going for a tick throw. If you can't hit a link 90% of the time don't do it, and make sure you remember that you're playing online. I will not do Sak's c.lp - c.mk link online but I will offline.
3: Use your instinct to determine when he's gonna DP
-I can usually tell when someone's going to attempt DPing. For example, if I anti-air Ken and walk right next to him, will he DP? You should be able to figure out based on your opponent's play style and it shouldn't take long. You can also use this intuition in any sort of situation, like wake ups, after he blocks a poke, after you block a poke or a sweep, etc.
How do you figure this out? A lot of people have a rhythm and a skill level. You put the two together. You can even figure out when people have learned and exploit them on that.
4: Punish the DP with everything you've got
-If you want to tell them not to do it, you better be able to punish it. I play Sakura so I get C.HP - EX Tatsu - (reset option, Ultra, DP+K). I don't know who you play so I can't tell you but make sure you do a ton of damage EVERY TIME they deserve to be punished. Learn whatever it is you need to learn, where it's something simple like Viper's C.MK - MP knuckle or her C.FP - EX Seismo - HJC MK kick.

[BustaUppa]

hmm I should have clarified that that those matches (and subsequent DP opinions) were from a SF2 session (HD Remix) :D

but I ain't crazy about the DP's in SFIV either, so I will certainly take your advice to heart when I'm playing that!

[Jimbo Slice]

Man, we always miss each other for whatever reason. I probably won't be on the rest of today because i have a bunch of school work, but I should be around tomorrow from like 3:30 - 5 PM EST.

I just got to 3000 BP today... how come everyone was lusting after in the SF4 board? I figured it would be an achievement or at least an icon / title. Surprised.

Also, I can't tell if I'm getting any better at 4. :cry:

My girl was there, one of my good friends was there, and about 10 people I met at Round 1 and Round 2. It was awesome!! I got a few slick win streaks going but there were about 3 or 4 people that were leagues better than me. And to top it all off I come to find a shipping confirmation from amazon.

GGs, gigan. :/ There need to be more match vids of Rose, so I can get stuff to use against Rog and Honda. :rofl: at the Rog vs Rose match, when you did your ultra one round then the super the next round and ate a shamWOW.

Haha, there is no mention of Street Fighter III anywhere on that box, Phrost.

Capcom does not like to acknowledge that SF3 ever happened since Casuals did not like it.

haha yeah, i was all like WTF?! the first time and the second time... well i had no excuses. lol.

el fuerte is really hard to use. I still haven't gotten used to him yet. it's really an uphill battle with him for just about every match. i was in shock when i won with him the first time;)

I don't think casuals liked SF: The Movie game either but that still garnered a mention.

[Inf^Shini]

I'll be on for like an hour on PS3, so hit me up if you feel like it

[kainzero]

hmm I should have clarified that that those matches (and subsequent DP opinions) were from a SF2 session (HD Remix) :D

but I ain't crazy about the DP's in SFIV either, so I will certainly take your advice to heart when I'm playing that!
I play Ken in HD, so here's what stops me from throwing out random DPs.

1: Play with an irregular rhythm
A lot of people fall into the trap of poking whenever they can. I use that to determine when to DP. For example, a lot of Bisons will do C.MK until they get out of range, and then Scissors Kick (if they're somewhat good) or Psycho Crusher (if they're not) as soon as they can, so I DP that. A Guile walking behind a Sonic Boom will do something as soon as they're in range. Vary your rhythm so that you don't play into that and get into the habit of the shuffle where you walk back and forth repeatedly.
For that matter, try to bait wakeup DPs. DPs on block have very good recovery so you need to make it whiff completely, it is not uncommon to follow up blocked DP with another DP because it's safe on block. I generally do that because I don't wanna get thrown.

2: Don't jump unless you can crossup
Same SF4 advice applies, even more so in HD. Free jumps are death.

3: Throw ANY whiffed DPs
I tend to stop DP spam and start carefully using it once they start throwing every whiff. I especially become more careful if they have a good throw (like a 360, a multi-hit like blanka bite, or chun).

4: Some of it is just a mind game that you have to overcome.
Walk up DP is a technique I employ, but it's really tough execusion wise and mentally. I also use DPs to force a 50-50 with my tickthrow attempts. Reversal DP against a 360 tick is the only option to avoid getting thrown, which is why you vary how many jabs you do before a 360.

5: Ken's jab / fierce DP and all of Ryu's DPs are vulnerable at the head
What does this mean? It means that if you hit with an attack where the hit is on top of his head, you'll trade. It's how I remind myself to use strong DP against Ryu because his deep jump roundhouse trades with jab DP. You can try and exploit this to your advantage.

O yes they did.
Who doesnt love Kylie Minouge?

[BustaUppa]

great tips kainzero. I definitely gotta up my crossup game and get a real handle on which moves cross up (I forget, do they cover that in the Anniversary guide?).

[JEKKI]

lol! saw this on SRK!!

Hey guys, I love the podcast and I thought I'd use this opportunity to ask a question.

I grew up in a strict Mexican household and as such there were a lot of expectations placed upon me. Growing up and living up to those expectations was very tough but when I entered college I used my new found freedom to assert my independence and figure out what I wanted for myself. During this time I discovered Street Fighter and I instantly fell in love with the franchise and I got heavily into playing. However I am now done with college and I am back home while I'm looking for work. I've been secretly playing street fighter but I suspect my father is getting suspicious of my activities. How do I tell my strict Mexican father that I do not want to play King of Fighters like he did but would rather play Street Fighter games? I fear that telling him might crush him and I will be kicked out of the house and disowned. Please give me some advice on how to handle the situation. Thank you and keep up the good work.


and the followup.

thanks for answering my question. I took Sanchez's advice and I sat my dad down and told him the truth. I was firm and stood my ground. I told him we're not in Mexico and I shouldn't have to play King of Fighters and I should be free to choose which fighting game franchises I want to play and free to control the joystick with my left hand if I so desired. He got very angry and said he raised me better than that and he wouldn't stand to have a Street Fighter player living under his roof. I told him I can't help it if I like Street Fighter, I was born that way and he is going to have to learn to accept it. My mother interrupted to calm my father down and she sat him back in his chair.

We both sat there silently and after about 10 minutes my father asked me if I was sure I really liked Street Fighter and I said that I indeed did and that would never change. He then said that he knows that I'm an adult now and I was bound to make a few choices on my own and even though he doesn't understand my decision that he will try to tolerate it. I told him that's all that I wanted and following Pherai's advice I asked him if he wanted to try CvS2. He said he would be willing and so we played for about 20 minutes when he said that the game is really boring and I replied that yeah I really hated that boring ass game too and we both had a good laugh from that. So it was a little rocky at first but I think we're going to be ok. Thanks again for the help guys! :tup:

[hankmecrankme]

That's classic. :)

[Ronin317]

Nice find Jekki...lol

[Paco]

lol! saw this on SRK!!




and the followup.

This is HEROIC. Not because it's so funny, but because it's also very plausable. I know many Mexicans who play KOF using the right hand for the joystick and left hand for the buttons. Even more amusing is the strict KOF thing because that's really all they have in Mexico as it is THE fighting game there. One thing I do notice is that Mexican players tend to gravitate towards grapplers so I always face some fierce Mexican Zangiefs if they do indeed play SF.

[hankmecrankme]

Mexicans get taught how to play Clark before they can even walk.

[RelentlessRolento]

wow. that's crazy in a dumb sad way JEKKi

[Arikado]

That can't be real. :lol:

[Paco]

Mexicans get taught how to play Clark before they can even walk.

Hey that's a stereotype. You know damn well that Mexicans are taught to use Ramon and Daimon BEFORE Clark! :lol:

[heavyd853]

Dude, its all about 2k2 angel for Mexico.

I loved that find JEKKI! I played at a Mexican arcade once, I had no idea what to do because the stick was on the right, the Mexican kids mocked me.

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: Hank is actually right. I knew a few mexicans that would strictly play Clark and Shermie. no joke sadly

[hankmecrankme]

No joke, I played some dude from Mexico in KOF '98 on Kailera ages ago that was Daimon, Clark, and Shermie. He kicked my ass. :)

[Paco]

You just made me sad. You brought back memories of me playing my friend at KOF 98 and he would always destroy me with that combo. I never beat him when he went full blast. Why must you make me remember Shermie? I hate that bitch. She doesn't even take a bath.

But He had a fucking annoying Daimon where he would literally grab you out of ANY move you would do.

[hankmecrankme]

Yep, that's how this dude rolled too. Daimon instagrab out of anything. Clark doing all of his fancy grabs and shit. And Shermie just killing me. She's such a dirty bitch. He went like 10 straight on me before I had enough. :)

[gigan54]

you have no idea how true all of this is. I remember staying at my aunt's house who lives in tijuana and being dumbfounded by the arcade sticks. and the 'every mexican picks a grappler' thing is too true. hell, i use honda and he's a pseudo grappler.

i miss playing with daimon, angel and andy.... those were some fun times.

[Paco]

I don't know what's worse. The Japanese scrubbing those Kyos/Ioris or the Mexicans ass raping with Daimon/Clark.

My friend was born with the Daimon/Clark skill though. I'm still wondering HOW he does those moves under complete stress like it's nothing.

[Furashu]

ggs option iv.

so close..!

[Arikado]

Hey, I'm white but I play grapplers. I have a mancrush on Clark.

[asianxcore]

Clark is beastly in 98'

Hell I'd pick him and I'm Asian :)

Angel 2K2 infinite= ROFLLLLL

EDIT: Someone hop on PSN and play SFIV. I'm tired of playing randoms.

[asianxcore]

GG's to Option. Always love getting Bison practice with Abel. You and Beef both play Bison, but play him completely different, which is good.

I didn't get to use ALL the Abel tricks I have up my sleeve :)

[option.iv]

ggs axc. Unfortunately, that was like the first time I played Abel before, so I was trying to figure out how to actually play against him. Hopefully I'll put up more of a fight next time.

[Paco]

Hey, I'm white but I play grapplers. I have a mancrush on Clark.

That's because he's like the Fonz of grapplers. Remember when he does the two legged toss and then shows off? He's like the fonz. HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Though I'm 99.99% sure you don't play Clark as aggressively as a Mexican. Clark must be Mexican for RAPE or MANHANDLING or something that's equally unfair to us American players.

[heavyd853]

Just crouch and mash jab whenever he rolls, 100% win.......sorta! \

Today I beat someone with 7000 bp, which made me happy although it wasn't a very good match.

I also played ElF for a couple hours on 360, and proceeded to lose like 700 points then gain back like 300. Good stuff!


I have a final tommorow, fuck finals!

[asianxcore]

I usually find that troublesome only against characters with reliable/nutty AA's like Shoto's :)

Abel rules. If you are patient you can find other ways of getting in close for mix-ups, even without cross-up or roll 100% of the time.

[PhrostByte]

Finally got my TE.. yayyy

[RelentlessRolento]

anyone have advice for when the opponent jumps in but lands right behind you when things get wonky? I'm guessing light jab.

[Inf^Shini]

I think I've finally warmed up to Bison. The morning was nuts though, I practically played a different character every time on ranked. It was like Akuma, Zangief, Ryu, Honda, Vega, Sagat, Chun Li, and I was on a role til I faced Balrog. He beat me with an EX in the middle of my ultra and left him with a hair of life left, I was so mad >_<

I haven't really played any Balrogs so I had no idea he could absorb one hit with his EX moves. EX headstomp is really, really cool though and now I'm all into SFIV again! I just gotta learn what I can and cannot stop with a FA because I hardly ever used it :/

Nutshell: My D needs work

You mean getting crossed up?

Block the other way! Or use a move that can get out of those instances... (who are you using now?)

I'm using Fei and Dan...

:lol: I'm not coordinated enough ATM to block the other way... I proably bulldog too much. I realize that since I hold back now more than I use to and seem to get alot more wins.

SFIV is less about bulldogging and more about landing good hits at the right time.

I probably bulldog because I bulldog with some characters in Tekken mid match for mind games.

[RelentlessRolento]

YES!

looks like I'm getting MadWorld from Gamefly.

[Inf^Shini]

Jekki, are you gonna be on today on PS3? I wanna face your Blanka

[RelentlessRolento]

I might be on today, but more like tonight. I'm down for some games.

For me it's looking like I'll be on from 2:30-5:00 PM today. I'm on the West Coast fyiI could go on, but I dont get out of work until 5... I'm more of an evening dood.

btw MadWorld is the shyt. I didnt even play SF yesterday coz MadWorld was consuming me

[RelentlessRolento]

I won't be home till after 6pm so... >_<

EX Armor is silly and amazing at the same time.

I'm curious about the US version. I know first hand that the Japanese version is sweet. Might just stick to that if the US version has the usual SNKPUSA bullshit going on.

After reading what a handful of people have said about the U.S release, seems like it's close to the JPN version and a good port.

http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=142067&page=118 (impressions are on the last handful of pages)

Xeroma SRK mentions (as others did) the only differences they have noticed is different buttons presses for palette swap and no blood. No mentions of any gameplay issues.

Might do a quick stop by Gamestop in an hour and pick this up before work tonight.

[Rodimus]

Guess, I'll be picking up my copy tomorrow, that is if they're not all sold out ;)

I'm interested to see some of these new moves and intros. I hear Orochi Shermie & Brian have a funny one togther.

[distgfx]

No blood effects? May I ask why? Oh well, at least there's no actual gameplay issues.

[Rodimus]

I think there's only a few characters who draw blood. Choi, Iori and Mature come to mind.

[PhrostByte]

Anyone wanna buy an EX2?

[JEKKI]

I played sum matches on PS3 becoz I Shimi wasnt online, I bet he's out pickin up the ladies on a friday nite rite now.

I lost freakin twice man!! once to a scrub Ryu who I was goin easy on!! Those jumping roundhouse crouching roundhouse combos hurt lol.

second to a Zangief player, coz I missed my freakin ultra!! Those missed ultras are deadly man...
