You can always play against me whenever I'm online. I too am struggling (trying to figure out how to beat Akuma players), but I can always help you train and what not.
Simply put, all you have to do is practice. Practice reacting to certain approaches and moves. Practice your own combinations. Really, once you have a good level of execution, then you can move on to better decision making. Sure there are times throughout the game where it becomes 50/50 and you have to guess. But making the right guess is a little easier once you try to read the opponent's mind. Just don't go throwing out random moves expecting the other person to be hit by them.
Just hit me up anytime on PSN, I'll be more than happy to play a couple games.

Seconded.
Play more. A lot of it is gaining intuition and reading your opponent. When you play enough you'll see patterns and tells emerge. If you're really saucy you can record your own matches and see if you're getting predictable or throwing out things with too much risk.
Last I checked option.iv's Chun was on par if not a lot better than my Ken. That was like 7-8 months ago though, and I haven't played as much since so I bet he's like super skilled now.

For some reason I've been avoiding this thread along with most of general gaming! Extremely excited for Blazblue, but I'm a little torn on what to do.
Street Fighter IV has been an unfortunate mess for me, playing online on the PS3 has always been such a hassle and is tough to find anyone to play locally. I'm leaning towards actually moving all my fighting games to the 360 for Xbox Live, since its not getting used for anything else. That would entail buying new controllers, purchasing a Xbox Live subscription, repurchasing Street Fighter IV and trying to ignore the fact that my 360 sounds like a failing jet engine on my desk.

Just so everyone knows, I haven't forgot about the contest. So far I have lined up for prizes 2 games, a few posters and a hand-drawn custom avatar from RelentlessRolento. I have 15 questions (Thanks Rod!) but am looking to expand it to 25.
The contest will only be open to FGT vets... sorry.
ALSO: Blazblue is nice. So far I'm digging Jin and Honman (sp?). The other characters are cool but I haven't sunk a whole lot of time into it so I don't know how to use them well. Will have to wait for console version. To those that are curious, it plays very similarly to Guilty Gear. It could easily be a sequel if it shared any characters.

quick question to anyone who has tatsunoko... what's the fastest way to unlock characters in that game?
you can just download the information on an SD card and unlock it that way.

Is it safe to assume GS will have their copies of Blazblue in by Thursday?
EDIT: Nevermind, I just got a call from Ashley The Robot from GS, letting me know that the game will be in by Tuesday afternoon.

Also if anyone happens to know the track listing for Star Gladiator feel free to hook a brother up with the info!

I was never really interested in it either.. I don't know much about it besides that it's going to be an HD current generation spiritual successor to Guilty Gear. The videos of it look real good and a lot of people here are hyped about it.. so I figured I'd check it out. I don't know anything about the characters or the story but the surprise will just be another part of the fun. I'll probably never be good at it.. but hopefully it'll hold me over until Tekken 6 comes out!
Anyone else in the NewEgg SFIV tournament? My first matc h is on July 1st.
Hm, I'm thinking I'd rather have KoF 98 UM on PS2. Gots all those goodies on disc.
And no, I don't believe the game is widescreen. It's probably just like all the other SNK XBLA releases so far.

BlazBlue is intriguing indeed... I'll admit that I haven't been keeping up with the news on it, but on principle I gotta enthusiastically support the idea of a CURRENT-GEN 2-D fighter (isn't this technically the only one???)
I'm trying to save mad funds though, so for now I'll just have to deal with a case of Blue Balz. :-(
I hope BlazBlue is instock tomorrow...I really want it!
Azumang all up in this FGT.
I called the EB at Limeridge today. The idiot who answered the phone said its release date is the 1st. But the stores are closed, aren't they? He didn't know anything about the free LE upgrade or art-book on pre-orders either, so I ended up ordering it from GS.com. Fucking good for nothing EB employees.

Ha! My friend told me KOF was delayed for 98 UM, seems kinda weird but perhaps It's the truth?
I'll be buying the XBLA version because I never got the $15 version months ago for the PS2 as soon as I heard Live play was on I had to hold off. Plus If MS doesn't screw anything up, all XBLA titles are to be future backwards as far as I know - which means I can play KOF98 UM with a stick on Microsoft's system for years to come. That is till everything is taken over by wiimote clones :P

As I mentioned on the previous page, I got the automated call from GS that Blazblue would be in tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. Not sure if that applies to everyone, but I live near San Francisco if that helps any.
Hopefully my local GS I pre-ordered at will get it in before 3pm. Mostly because I work from 3-11:30p and I'd rather just wake up on Wednesday (my day off) and play Blazblue, instead of having to drive and go get it on Wednesday.

Okay, guys, can someone sell me, a single player with no good local competition who is rarely ever on Live, on BlazBlue? I want it, but I don't know if I $60 want it. Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot for the solo guy beyond the branching path story mode and the unlockable artwork. Am I wrong?
I have a couple of questions, I bought Fight Night R4 with the BB deal, But I think that Blazeblue looks pretty sweet. I really like Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom as far as fighting games go, is Blazeblue even remotely close to Street Fighter game play wise? And from what I gather by glancing at some posts about BB it has only a few attack buttons and a guard button, correct? I enjoyed the FN R4 demo and it seems like a well rounded game, I just am not 100% sure about keeping it.

a game like this might be too much... I wonder if the PSPGo can do remote play via Bluetooth, and if it were to use bluetooth would that be better than using Wifi.
You know I've been listening to the soundtrack while at work, and its been really good, getting me hyped to play the game. Basic rock stuff, but there's a lot of nice melodies. I wish that everygame would have a nice bundle like this, at least for the people who pick up the game during the first month of release.

Excellent review by haunts... This should be taken as the standard for how fighting games should be reviewed. His review and Arlieth's quick magazine review really got the message across that would satisfy A) the competitive fighter's interest B) the anime freak fanboy and C) the casual gamer. Good job.

Been playing through Street Fighter Alpha anthology and it feels really weird playing the first Alpha! A lot of the normals can cancel into each other, so you get these "chain combos" that feel like UMK3 or a Vs. game. Plus a lot of moves hit or trade in kind of a weird way... I remember a lot of stuff with Bisons's fireballs felt kinda off... and sweeps not knocking down, weird stuff like that!
Also the overall presentation is kinda dull... I really noticed this in the Bison fight, you're just in this boring-ass train station and there's no real feeling of tension or excitement. I expect more from a FINAL BOSS fight. Alpha 3 really stepped things up in the aesthetics department IMO.

NEED I EXPLAIN THE GOLDEN RULES OF JEKKINOMICS TO YOU ONCE AGAIN?!?!
we all kno there's a way around this...
Oh, I know plenty of ways around it, but no car + living in the fucking country + nearest place to buy it is 20 minutes away = play the waiting game.
And there's always this. . .
If you can afford to blow $120 in one shot.
Well, I could right now, but I'm not going to.

quick question for people playing Blazblue with a stick:
What button layout are you using?
I believe these are the 2 mainly used configs:
A B C
D - -
and
B C D
A - -
and the one that comes as default, which I think is mainly for regular controllers:
B C -
D A - ......(I think...^^)

gotta shp ur games before july 11th and it looks like amazon is getting a steady supply of TEs this month so hopefully we'll all be able to snag one

Half off a new TE is a good idea, especially if you can stack an ECA code.

Reference BlazBlue - Do you guys think that it is cheating to use the RS (right stick) to pull off special moves (when using the controller). I try not to use it, but sometimes when a move doesn't want to come out, I get really fuckin tempted... oh tell sometimes I just go ahead and use it. Also, if BB is used in a tournament, do you think that the rules will call for joysticks to be configured to ensure that the right stick can't be used for such inputs?
JEKKI
07-02-2009, 07:34 PM
personally I dont mind it, we already have a shyt load of SF4 players on turbo.
at the end of the day, if u suck then u suck, but if that's what it takes to enjoy the game then go for it. The depth of BB's system doesnt give a player much of an advantage if theyre doing simple input moves coz chances are that's all they can really do.
and yes, in tourneys easy mode will be banned without question.

Cheating? No, they put it in there for a reason. Though I'm strongly against using it because it can easily become a crutch, but if that's what it takes for you to win then go for it. However, BB's online gives rooms the option of turning them off, so don't rely on it. I'm 99.9% sure it'd be banned in tournaments.
LostRoad
07-02-2009, 08:02 PM
I don't mind but then I won't go into custom rooms so really don't have to deal with it. The inputs are pretty basic so no one should really need it, but if it makes the game better for you go for it.
BlueSwim
07-02-2009, 08:37 PM
Nah, stick specials aren't cheating. Having the stick for specials is actually a good thing since it allows for better competition from inexperienced players. It's casual-friendly, but not in the derogatory sense of the word. No way it should be allowed in tourneys, though.

Kinda OT, but I was perusing the trade-in prices for amazon, and they're seem a little low--at least, I couldn't find too many titles I'd be willing to part with that were worth more than $10. Seems like it'd be a 6-1 ratio at least for the games I have. Although when I think about it, there really aren't any games I want to get rid of right now anyway. :p

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. (http://aksysgames.com/blazblue/) The latest epidemic to hit the fighting game genre, comes in the form of the #1 2D arcade fighter from Japan, in all it’s high definition glory. Can this game surpass the ghost of Guilty Gear’s past, or will it fade away in mediocrity? Nah. BlazBlue is legit. Read our review by clicking below!

Hey MarkMan, while I was mid-fight, the right trigger button on my TE stick stopped registering. I unplugged the stick and then plugged it back in after a few seconds and it was working again. Was that just a common, one-time glitch?
