nice!

I'm guessing you're there to see family, but TGS on top of that I'm sure is a huge plus.

[Rodimus]

Yeah, I'll be there for family. I just happen to be in Tokyo while it's going on so I figured why not go. It's actually fairly cheap to get in. Only $12 and I can buy my pass at a 7-11.

I was curious if any other CAG will be there so maybe we can do a little meet-up.

[MarkMan]

Rodimus I'm still 50/50 on going.... I don't know my way around Japan at all, so yea, we should meet up!

lol

[Rodimus]

Definitely. I don't know my way around so well either. Just getting there will be a challenge for me also. I might meet up with a friend who lives in Japan so we don't have to be a couple lost gaijins. If you go do you know what day you'll be there?

[MarkMan]

If I do go, I'll be there a few days before TGS (Probably on the 21st, and I'd leave 2-3 days after it ends, most likely the 26th or 27th.)

[Rodimus]

Cool, keep me updated and we can set something up. I'm looking forward to it. I'll ask around to see if more CAG will be there.

ARGHHHH They still haven't gotten me my receiver for my fightpad. I'm so pissed off right now, that I'm actually contemplating selling my copy of Valkyrie Profile as funding for an arcade stick. I want the Happ style with circular/octogonal gate and the man buttons that take a beating and keep on asking for more. But It's been so long since I truly dived into an arcade stick. I tried using a Sanwa and I sucked ass. If I did get a custom happ how long should I reasonably be able to use it?

[B:L]

Uhh... does anyone here know the easiest method to unlock all the unlockable characters for SF4 on the 360?

Because this might be important since one of the methods got patched out...

[MarkMan]

Wait, you can't do the memory card swap out anymore? (I'm assuming you ask this because of the tournament at PAX?)

[kainzero]

when did this patch come out?

memory card swap worked fine after championship mode patch...

[B:L]

Can you explain the memory card swap trick for me in full detail?

I just want to make sure it's not being done wrong.

Edit: Sending info out, it's likely just a mistake on his part in the steps. Thanks guys.

Edit2: Yup, mistake. Crisis averted. Now the bigger issue is WHY THE HELL AM I LEFT TO RUN THE HALO TOURNAMENT ON SUNDAY WTF

[MarkMan]

Word. Memory card swap.

Created by MarkMan and n8nmonster.

Est. 2 weeks before SF4 came out :P

:)

(We had this same crisis prior to the SF4 launch party lol).

[kainzero]

Memory card swap helped me lots for AX tournament =)

Halo tournaments are a breeze to run. And on a Sunday when everyone's leaving? That's easy peasy.

Now, any Smash tournament is a pain. Even having Smash casuals are a pain.

I have one for sale, works wonderfully, green comp. stick and 6 green buttons with the other 2 plugged. it's wired for a PS1 PCB so it's compatible with just about everything through converters.

I can admit the game is fun with friends, but it is NOT a fighting game. The best shoryuken post was when a smash player played someone playing SF2 HDR and the smasher said "Which button does the specials?" THAT is why fighting game fans hate Smash fans. That and they can't do anything more complicated then forward + button.

Excuse me, but my fireballs aren't coming out with this character. I'm pressing forward and special, but he just keeps punching! Why can't i do those uppercuts or fireballs?!

And that image is also used to show supremacy over the 360, people claiming blazblue is better then SF4/KOFXII and probably message boards if used right.

And Markman, the smash community for the most part sucks. There's good people in it, but the disproportionate amount of bad ones make it not worth anything. Or at least anything resembling true fun. I can respect Power Stone since they're not claiming to be super deep, but Smash bros players say it with a straight face even. I honestly believe that Smash Bros players are trying to take the Troll crowns from Tonobou Itagaki and Ed Boon.

[MarkMan]

I think Smash IS deep though, i mean when it gets to that level, it can get just as crazy as any other fighting game. Especially with the reflex/skill/zoning you need to compete against someone that is THAT much better than you.

Real talk tho, I just hate those dumb fuck kids.

If you allow anything then yes there is a good amount of strategy. BUT if you go by Tourney rules the game is a neutered. YOU CAN'T ZONE! YOU MUST ENGAGE! What was once strategy, is now cheap.

Everytime I get in one of those arguments with my friends. The only thing I want to tell them is this.

Here's the problem.
Smash people LOOOOOOVE talking about how to defend their rules. Don't fall into their trap.

IMO, I'd say "STFU, it's how I play, it's how a lot of people want to play, and if you don't like it, you can play something else and we'll be cool."

Instead, you get "Well, see, the reason why we took out items and have stage select rules is to balance the inherent competitiveness of the game and by eliminating random options you actually gain other sorts of attack options to complement zoning and blah blah blah blah"

For AX I was talking to some guy over how to improve the Smash tourney since he was a tourney regular and some guy starts talking about how the viability of the Smash ball. They start arguing so I just walked away.

People think it's the game that they play that segregates them.
Nah. It's the community.

I get more joy out of telling them their game isn't a fighting game and that it's equal to horse shit. It also is funny because they can't play Virtua Fighter, King of Fighters, or any fighting game that requires precision. Well they can play Street Fighter IV but the only things they do is prove that it really is Ken Fighter IV.

It's just easier to tell them their game isn't a game.

[Halo05]

Smash Brothers requires too many modifications to the default rules to be run in a tournament setting. It also does not have arcade roots like (I think), every other widely played, competitive fighting game. Those two elements knock it out of contention as a serious fighting game.

It's a fun, silly game to smash up your friends in when you just need to kill some time. It is not worthy to stand toe to toe as a fighting game with the likes of Street Fighter, KOF, Virtua Fighter, etc.

[Mr. Beef]

Seriously who gives a damn if it's a fighting game or not.
People play it 1v1 with money on the line, I don't care if it's called a sports game or a casual game or John Wilkes Booth game or a Tecumseh game or Kirkland Signature Daily Multivitamins & Minerals game, bottom line is that its competitive.

I don't care if they can't play other fighting games. That's like calling baseball a fake sport because they can't play hockey or track and field at a serious level.

The mods are natural. No items, no stages which are random. I discovered those rules playing just with my brother and lo and behold, the tournament scene adopted them.

Arcades are only important in Japan and Korea, they're dead here and it's kinda cool to know that Smash is really a grassroots USA thing and not modeled after Japan scenes. The fact that it bloomed strictly on console is amazing.

It's a serious game if there's enough skill that can be tested. And after you play for 3 months, you still won't be able to scratch a top player and you'd be lucky to take a stock off, so that it makes it pretty serious.

To the haters: Why let it get your panties in an uproar? Ignore Smashboards & don't bother with the troll topics on SRK. I just don't get why people let it bother them whether it's considered a fighting game or not.

Fact: Smash Bros requires skill to play (just like every other fighter.)
Fact: There are Smash players in the world that could also kick your ass in SF4.
Fact: The fighting game community has a lot of cornballs and morons too, just like the Smash community.

I haven't taken Smash seriously since like 2002, but I really do enjoy the game. I haven't played Brawl in like a year either, but I am interested in that modded version that has Roy in it, as well as balance patches.

[Jimbo Slice]

Also: Anyone wanna sell me a Marvel PSN gameshare? or wanna play the 360 version with me?

Well I know both me and Mark have experience running tourneys or even just having casuals.
It is a huuuuuuuuuuge bitch running them. You will receive complaints like no other. Set rules one way, complaints. Set them another way, complaints. And they will demand EVERYTHING from you, they will suck your soul dry.

"$5 entry with $2 venue fee? That $2 is a ripoff! We're hosting our own tournament at someone's house."

"Only 4 setups? WTF WE WANT MORE"

"I can't use my Wiimote? WHY NOT"

"They're playing 2v2 casuals and they're not letting me play! Make them switch it to FFA!"

"They're playing FFA and I want to play 1v1!"

"There's approximately 3 frames of lag!"Seriously, the complaints against Smash are against the noisy and whiny community more than the actual game.

Also, the fact that it uses specialized equipment makes it really annoying. No other fighting game requires CRTs (because there's no 720p output, there's gonna be lag on an HDTV). No other fighting game plays on the Wii, and TvC doesn't count for now because the scene is small and because it's imported. You need to stock GC controllers which are no longer manufactured, not Wiimotes, not Nunchucks, not Joysticks.

Then you need to manually adjust and check the rules all the time. All the other games were fire and forget, I only had one issue when someone changed characters in SF4, but it was too late to do anything because he didn't bring it up when it happened. You have to account for double blind selection, stage counterpicking, keep track of who selects characters first. And sure it doesn't sound like a lot but when you have 1 or 2 people trying to run 4 setups and not all of them are aware of the rules (both Staff and entrants), it's quite difficult. It's made that much worse with the complaining, and it's really obvious when I hosted the tournaments.

[MarkMan]

I'm really lax. I've been running shit since the beginning of time.

Like I said, I don't mind the game/rules or whatever.

The people.

Yes. Again, the people.

Word.

I'm a professional though, I just deal with it.

And then I go home and talk shit online.

Good shit.

Did you have to go up against Row in your first match?

[heavyd853]

Naw, I won the first match of the tournament, which is why I had to go up against him.

The guy running the bracket was like, that's what you get for winning first!



Man, nobody in that tournament got any practice before it started because the morning brackets from BB and KOF were running late and the people playing SFIV casuals wouldn't get off so we could practice. It definately ended up hurting me in the matches, because I missed like 8 AHVB's with cable, on top of a bunch of dashes and punishes with mag. You tell Row wasn't the best either since he messed up some stuff with mag and sent too.

I did alot better than I expected though, and played much better than I did at EVO.

[Paco]

I love it when KOF noobs complain about how someone fights. Look at this gem of a message from someone who used a lame Kyo, Joe, and Robert. I used Chin, Daimon and Terry.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f314/Somelazybum/IMGP0005.jpg

[distgfx]

You play KoF online? Impressive, did the new patch come out yet? I don't mean the first one that was 700MB, I'm talking about the supposed second one.

[Paco]

I play it online? I play the damn thing almost every day for hours at a time! The online works fine if you do the distance based method. I play people from California only and I can have a room of 4-5 people with minimal to no lag if their settings are done properly. It's mainly with friends, but the game still kicks ass. Every once in a while, you get a noob who joins and ruins the game. I just leave the room and make another and reinvite everyone and make it so the room is invite only.

And it's funny that you mention Kyo, Joe & Robert, that seems to be the universal noob team. But the lag on 360 is still pretty bad. I always setup a 2 people maximum room to avoid this.

Robert is scrubby when most people use him, the Mexicans that I play with combo like hell with Robert. This was just a white guy spamming the Flame kicks. I wish it didn't go back so much after use so I could punish it far more easily.

And I like Chin and his new combo system, but I wish that he still used his jug as an attack as that gave him a more mid screen attack to poke and annoy with. I wish he still had his flame DM too. But otherwise, I enjoy the new Chin very much. Kinda wish he still had that move from 98 where he lied on the ground and just moved around annoying everyone.

Robert is scrubby when most people use him, the Mexicans that I play with combo like hell with Robert. This was just a white guy spamming the Flame kicks. I wish it didn't go back so much after use so I could punish it far more easily.

What are ya trying to say? Only Mexicans can use Robert effectively? Discrimination :bomb: I tend to stay way from any kind of shoto-type character. But I do like Andy.

But yeah Chin plays completly diffrent than before. I surprise alot of players with him. I normally stick him in the front since people tend to underestimate him. Goro is no joke. Unlike most characters he seems reletivly unchanged. I love picking people out of the air with his air grab.

In all honesty, I don't like Goro's changes. His grabs no longer have that instant grab where they grabbed you almost instantly. Also in the past when you knocked someone down, you could grab them from the ground and toss them again . They nixed that and that's in poor judgement. Grapplers are pretty neutered in this game.

And yes Chin surprises. People who use Chin either do it as a joke, or do it to scare the living shit out of people. Those are my two reactions to Chin. They're either joking, or incredibly good with the man.

[Rodimus]

Everyone in KOF XII seemed to get nerfed in some degree so if Goro kept all those little perks I think he'd be too cheap. He's still got the cheap ground slam. His air grab has more of a delay but because of that I've learned to read people better.

Everyone got nerfed? Robert hasn't been this good in years. Ryo's rushing game is more brutal then ever, Kensou got one hell of a huge buff and Chin is more random then ever when played properly. Ralf is far more quicker and incredibly damaging. The only characters that got huge nerfs were Clark. Goro got some nerfing but is still good. His earlier iterations were better. Kyo's iteration and Joe's iterations are in fine form this game.

[Rodimus]

There's no denying a lot of the characters seem underdeveloped when compared to previous iterations of themselves. Robert is missing his comand moves which gave him some crazy combos. And it's pretty weak that most all characters (except 6) have only 1 DM.

Sounds like every KOF where they change people and new top tiers emerge

I dunno. After playing KOF XII a good amount, I'd say that it's better then 02. 02 feels stiff in comparison or just that the button inputs have to be 100% precise otherwise they don't come out. Plus it just feels like it moves slower and the jumps aren't as useful after seeing the radius of how jumps are in XII.

[RelentlessRolento]

I still pref 01 compared to 02.

[Rodimus]

I liked 02' for the sheer amount of moves & characters. Plus all the crazy SDMs that were added. Still 98' will always be my fav. Also really liked 99' mainly cause it had an awesome soundtrack.

Gameplay-wise I have no complaints with XII. The core fighting system is well done. The series needs some work but at least they got the most important part right.

So far I'm picking up Abel, but I'd eventually like to learn Zangief.

Also thinking of making a SFIV match making thread where you could find other CAGs to play against, based on character, timezone, level, etc. What do you guys think?

[RelentlessRolento]

If people want to get updated, post ur info in the same format as the OP so I can copy and paste.

Zangief is easier to pick up then Abel is, or at least that's been my experience. Gief's 360s are easy to do in SFIV, so don't worry about doing it too slowly.

[asianxcore]

Anyone got any tips for learning grappler characters?

So far I'm picking up Abel, but I'd eventually like to learn Zangief.

The only advice I can give for grapplers (Abel is one of my mains) is learn the character inside and out. Gief and Abel play completely different and have their own Strengths/Weaknesses.

Abel's cross-up is great as well as his Mix-Ups, granted you can vary them a little. He builds up meter pretty fast with Marseilles Roll, but in certain Match-Ups, he'll need to burn it pretty quickly. There are also characters that shut down Abel's cross-up completely. Vary your Mix-Ups, score a knockdown and Abel can run like an avalanche.

Having the Marseilles Roll gives Abel good mobility (EX can get you out of tight spots), but if you use it too frequently you'll have players baiting it and counter with a throw/Mix-Up. EX Rekka has EX Armor so used wisely can help out.

I can go on and on about Abel's Strengths/Weaknesses, but again the grapplers play differently so I would learn basic pokes, normals and then move up from there to Combos, FADC Mix-Ups, etc etc...

[suko_32]

Oh, so that's why you roll so much...to build up meter! Also to confuse me lol.

[Mr. Beef]

I can't remember the last time AxC used Abel's roll against me, since I kept punishing it. :)

[RelentlessRolento]

I like abel and wish I could play him, but he's different enough from my play style that I can't get hold of him fully.

[djbooba]

Anyone got any tips for learning grappler characters?

I guess my best advice is learning the distance and times of when you can command throw.

[asianxcore]

Oh, so that's why you roll so much...to build up meter! Also to confuse me lol.

Building meter/mobility is huge with the Marseilles Roll. Also on knockdown, you can use it to confuse your opponent on wake-up (if your mixup game is down) on which way to block and what to block specifically.

I can't remember the last time AxC used Abel's roll against me, since I kept punishing it. :)

Those are fightin' words!

[shinryuu]

here's how I learned Abel:

-mixup = j.mk
-learn basic combos with c.hp (c.hp -> ultra; c.hp xx lk roll -> fp sky)
-learn to use command throw (set up with f+mk, on wakeup, or to punish)
-block strings (really easy, actually)
-learn how to use f+mk (best post (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=7169477&postcount=4) i've seen on abel subforum on srk)
-FADC the CoD into c.hp -> ultra or whatever c.hp combo
-c.hp mindgames (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=191730)

once you keep practicing, you'll get a sense of how Abel plays. personally, the way I like to learn is by watching matchup videos.

[option.iv]

Thanks guys I actually got the resets down pat, for Abel. Now I think I just need char specific strats. ATM, I'm just stumped when it comes to playing Sagat. He can zone like a mofo with his fbs and one hit tks. I honestly can't get in other than the occasional roll shenanigans. If someone could share some input either playing Sagat or as Sagat, that would be much appreciated. Also against Gief would be nice.

I also got to work on my meter management. I've noticed there were tons of times I could've used to build meter, and tons of times I burn it in one go when normal specials would have sufficed.

Also tried Zangief and liked him at first, but once I started playing Akumas and decent Ryu's, it was just an uphill battle. Jump back FTL. I think I'll try to take on Chun-li as she is more rushdown oriented it seems. Abel's pressure game is what I seem to take an affinity to, so it seems I would like Chun-li. Well, time to start mashing cr.lk as that's what all the Chuns seem to do....

[LostRoad]

If your looking for a rush down don't go with chun, she is the weakest of them. Pick up Cammy or Sakura.

I'm dead serious on this. If there is lag, it's very minimal. The people who haven't gotten the patch you can tell them from a mile away "Why didn't SNK force everyone off to download it?" But this patch is the real deal and I have been getting some smooth as shit fights with even RED connections. That NEVER Happened in the past. GOLF CLAP for SNKP.

I don't see why, but okay.



One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo's fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl.
Tell you the truth, she's not that good-looking. She doesn't stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn't young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a "girl," properly speaking. But still, I know from fifty yards away: She's the 100% perfect girl for me. The moment I see her, there's a rumbling in my chest, and my mouth is as dry as a desert.
Maybe you have your own particular favorite type of girl - one with slim ankles, say, or big eyes, or graceful fingers, or you're drawn for no good reason to girls who take their time with every meal. I have my own preferences, of course. Sometimes in a restaurant I'll catch myself staring at the girl at the next table to mine because I like the shape of her nose.
But no one can insist that his 100% perfect girl correspond to some preconceived type. Much as I like noses, I can't recall the shape of hers - or even if she had one. All I can remember for sure is that she was no great beauty. It's weird.
"Yesterday on the street I passed the 100% girl," I tell someone.
"Yeah?" he says. "Good-looking?"
"Not really."
"Your favorite type, then?"
"I don't know. I can't seem to remember anything about her - the shape of her eyes or the size of her breasts."
"Strange."
"Yeah. Strange."
"So anyhow," he says, already bored, "what did you do? Talk to her? Follow her?"
"Nah. Just passed her on the street."
She's walking east to west, and I west to east. It's a really nice April morning.
Wish I could talk to her. Half an hour would be plenty: just ask her about herself, tell her about myself, and - what I'd really like to do - explain to her the complexities of fate that have led to our passing each other on a side street in Harajuku on a beautiful April morning in 1981. This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock build when peace filled the world.
After talking, we'd have lunch somewhere, maybe see a Woody Allen movie, stop by a hotel bar for cocktails. With any kind of luck, we might end up in bed.
Potentiality knocks on the door of my heart.
Now the distance between us has narrowed to fifteen yards.
How can I approach her? What should I say?
"Good morning, miss. Do you think you could spare half an hour for a little conversation?"
Ridiculous. I'd sound like an insurance salesman.
"Pardon me, but would you happen to know if there is an all-night cleaners in the neighborhood?"
No, this is just as ridiculous. I'm not carrying any laundry, for one thing. Who's going to buy a line like that?
Maybe the simple truth would do. "Good morning. You are the 100% perfect girl for me."
No, she wouldn't believe it. Or even if she did, she might not want to talk to me. Sorry, she could say, I might be the 100% perfect girl for you, but you're not the 100% boy for me. It could happen. And if I found myself in that situation, I'd probably go to pieces. I'd never recover from the shock. I'm thirty-two, and that's what growing older is all about.
We pass in front of a flower shop. A small, warm air mass touches my skin. The asphalt is damp, and I catch the scent of roses. I can't bring myself to speak to her. She wears a white sweater, and in her right hand she holds a crisp white envelope lacking only a stamp. So: She's written somebody a letter, maybe spent the whole night writing, to judge from the sleepy look in her eyes. The envelope could contain every secret she's ever had.
I take a few more strides and turn: She's lost in the crowd.


Now, of course, I know exactly what I should have said to her. It would have been a long speech, though, far too long for me to have delivered it properly. The ideas I come up with are never very practical.
Oh, well. It would have started "Once upon a time" and ended "A sad story, don't you think?"


Once upon a time, there lived a boy and a girl. The boy was eighteen and the girl sixteen. He was not unusually handsome, and she was not especially beautiful. They were just an ordinary lonely boy and an ordinary lonely girl, like all the others. But they believed with their whole hearts that somewhere in the world there lived the 100% perfect boy and the 100% perfect girl for them. Yes, they believed in a miracle. And that miracle actually happened.
One day the two came upon each other on the corner of a street.
"This is amazing," he said. "I've been looking for you all my life. You may not believe this, but you're the 100% perfect girl for me."
"And you," she said to him, "are the 100% perfect boy for me, exactly as I'd pictured you in every detail. It's like a dream."
They sat on a park bench, held hands, and told each other their stories hour after hour. They were not lonely anymore. They had found and been found by their 100% perfect other. What a wonderful thing it is to find and be found by your 100% perfect other. It's a miracle, a cosmic miracle.
As they sat and talked, however, a tiny, tiny sliver of doubt took root in their hearts: Was it really all right for one's dreams to come true so easily?
And so, when there came a momentary lull in their conversation, the boy said to the girl, "Let's test ourselves - just once. If we really are each other's 100% perfect lovers, then sometime, somewhere, we will meet again without fail. And when that happens, and we know that we are the 100% perfect ones, we'll marry then and there. What do you think?"
"Yes," she said, "that is exactly what we should do."
And so they parted, she to the east, and he to the west.
The test they had agreed upon, however, was utterly unnecessary. They should never have undertaken it, because they really and truly were each other's 100% perfect lovers, and it was a miracle that they had ever met. But it was impossible for them to know this, young as they were. The cold, indifferent waves of fate proceeded to toss them unmercifully.
One winter, both the boy and the girl came down with the season's terrible inluenza, and after drifting for weeks between life and death they lost all memory of their earlier years. When they awoke, their heads were as empty as the young D. H. Lawrence's piggy bank.
They were two bright, determined young people, however, and through their unremitting efforts they were able to acquire once again the knowledge and feeling that qualified them to return as full-fledged members of society. Heaven be praised, they became truly upstanding citizens who knew how to transfer from one subway line to another, who were fully capable of sending a special-delivery letter at the post office. Indeed, they even experienced love again, sometimes as much as 75% or even 85% love.
Time passed with shocking swiftness, and soon the boy was thirty-two, the girl thirty.
One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.
But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
A sad story, don't you think?

I beat sum dood but then this Ryu player came and kicked my ass. Im like ok whatever get back in line,

but then every time I play him I can never beat him! he didnt even seem that good, his play style isnt like Valle or Choi or Daigo standar Ryu, jus play random, but his reaction timing was INSANE!

everytime I jumped no matter how hard I tried to do it on a good window I got hit by shoryu on reaction, get hit by random shoryus all day.

anyways, Im only bringing this up becoz distfx wanted a story, and other ppl were talking about playing Suko on SF4.

My point is I have deduced that Suko is mexican, freakin random ass Ryu X_X

Haruki Murakami will hunt you down for that.

He will hunt you down and then write a very bad novel featuring you, and then it won't be published because you're not good enough.

And then he'll delete you off his Myspace.

eh, that's not too bad. well it kinda is, considering that the mlg playlist has about 2-3000 players on a good night compared to the 100k+ on the other playlists.

but fighters are a long ways away from turning pro, especially in america. i think tekken is turning the corner in korea though.

SFIV is/has been making waves though... longterm waves.

not even close

turning pro is never about the actual game, but setting it up so that people can make money to do it

FG tournaments are all community run and usually rely on a pot
there hasn't been anything really pro about it, nothing steady or reliable

[MarkMan]

I'll tell you who won that match up. Loser had to play the winner's game.

Pics incoming.

Bahaha that dude was nuts. He kept getting made because I would launch him on reaction or punish anything he did that was hella unsafe with launch the juggle. You could tell he was getting pretty mad.


I must have launched him like 8 times too, I felt dirty.

launching cleanses the soul.

I played some Tekken 6 at this canadian arcade today. It was pretty fun, can't wait till it is released on systems

[RelentlessRolento]

consider yourself lucky zero.

[ZerotypeX]

Why is that rolento? I thought there were some machines in the US? I'm on vacation with the family and it was a nice surprise that there was an arcade in the mall we went too. It was $1 (canadian) to play for credit :-?

[RelentlessRolento]

Live in miami as a Tekken fanatic to realize only 5% of the already small amount of arcades have a machine past Tekken 3 :(
