[quote name='Jimbo Slice']I could hook you up with a bit of a better deal if you're interested in purchasing one.[/quote]

PMd so hard.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Don't forget to buy some lotion and tissues.



I loved 3s the moment I played it... is the guide really that helpful though? I've never even seen it.[/QUOTE]

MarkMan can probably shed more light, but if I remember right the SF Anniversary Guide was one of the best guides out for any particular FG.
 
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!

Sexy, the Alpha 2 guide is made by fans then? Was it distributed by a publisher or was it a PDF?
 
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.
 
I gotta stop playing against randoms in Ranked Matches in SFIV.

I honestly think it's making my Abel shittier. I gotta play against ya'll more.
 
Hrm is it just me or is this the first year fighting games are gonna push the wallet?

New KOF in summer. Check.
Blazblue in summer. Check.
Tekken in Fall/Winter. Check.
SFIV already here? 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.)

I just finally picked up battle fantasia to for a bit. This year will be the most fighters I've ever bought new (5) and hopefully KOF 98 whenever they bring out the Live version.

I've got even better advice. Spam Rufus' crouch.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']this is also coming out, though it'll be waggle crap most likely...
[/QUOTE]

If it has anything to do with Battle Arena Toshinden I'll pass :lol:
 
CAG Fighters....

We're planning EVO CAG List, check the EVO thread in this forum!

BTW, I just downloaded Tekken 5 DR Online on my white PS3 and holy shit all 540ish MBs took only 5 minutes to download... that's the fastest I've seen my connection push lol on PSN.

I think he's talking about the Empire 21 guide...I have one on my shelf at home, and it rocks. Some badass artwork throughout.

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.

and Option, when you say spam crouch, do you mean just try to turtle? A lot of Fuerte's attacks have overhead properties so this doesn't work so hot, at least for me.
 
^ Yeah, I agree. I do just fine against my friends which give me the confidence to use them in ranked. But most the time I get my ass whooped.

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.

I mean just press down a lot. I was laughing my ass off when my friend did it and in sequence lost the match.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Man I fucking hate trying new characters in ranked matches and losing 100+ BP in one match. Extremely annoying.[/QUOTE]keep losin them.

that's what I do, I dont care... I eventually get them all back.

not that they mean anything anyways, fuck 1000 BP, I'd rather have $1000

Didn't realize this was Toshinden. I'd like to be happy, but I know it's gonna suck.

Fighting game trvia time: Did you know that Earthworm Jim was a playable secret character in the PC version of Battle Arena Toshinden?

:lol::lol::lol: I remember him being in ClayFighter 63 1/3(SUMO SANTA FTW!!!), but I never heard about him being in BAT. Learn something every day.:lol::lol::lol:

You should make a new trivia sheet up... it's been awhile!

No way, seriously? Actually, I didn't even know there was a PC version of Toshinden.
 
The last Quiz I made took a long time to think of some good questions. But only a few people actually participated, so it was a little disapointing.

If enough people want one I'd love to make another. But it'll take some time to think of some good questions. Let's face it, you guys know your fighters, and it's my goal is to stump you.

Here's Earthworm Jim in BAT. But you might be disapointed to find out he's just a Rungo clone:

i use BP to make sure i get matched against decent opponents.
 
I refuse to play ranked matches without picking Dan.
The people swearing on the other side is amusing as hell. Granted my record is atrocious.
 
omg... I had to play a match in the neogaf tournament...

I've been playing so much Chun that when I used Blanka for the match I was all fukkyn up and trying to use Chun tactics!!

lol. I still won tho...

sheeeeeyit... that's what the 'cade is for.
 
I gave Zangief a spin in SF4, and it seems like nothing I have can beat Ryu's hard jump kick. I tried all 6 standing moves+ 6 aerials + Lariat. His kick murders all of it D:

Block, and turn it into a 360.
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']It seems pretty safe, he jumps in hard kick, low medium kick cancel into fireball and I cant reach him and he's far enough away to block a move.[/quote]

Block and pile drive him right away.

lariat him. You just have to time it right.
 
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.

Edit: You should ask Arikado about gief since he's good with him.
 
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.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']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[/quote]
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?
 
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
