Well when you're in Evil Genius you might as well use a evil ass character.

You are speaking as if there are top Chun players elsewhere in the world.

Why is Chun considered so sorry in AE? I knew she sucked in Divekick edition because divekicks ate her up, but is that still the reason she stinks?

Pretty much. No AA or reliable reversal means she is still a sitting duck against some of the cast.

I know that

 

[Threi]

Pretty much. No AA or reliable reversal means she is still a sitting duck against some of the cast.

crazy considering at least 1/3 of the cast doesn't have a reversal or reliable AA, and she has one the best set of normals in the game...

 

[biosnake20]

Chun is like Claw. She has to beat you by poking you to the death and using the occasional shorts into ex legs and tick grab. Her problems are are bad reversals, low health, a lot of very situational anti airs, dive kicks poop on her, and she has basically no "mix up". Her cross ups are mediocre and she is just gonna go for a shit load of tick grabs on wake up. But she is not awful. If Zeus can do what he does with Claw, someone can do something similar with Chun.

Hello everyone, if you watched Big 2 last night you may have seen Spooky talking about a future event called "Kings of Poverty".

Well, now that Next Level is finally confirmed as the venue for September 2-3, I went ahead and made a Facebook page with more information and a link to the schedule. It's a 2-day charity event which includes ~24 hours of speedruns as well as a mystery tournament combining FGs, other competitive games, and races!

If you're interested, click here: https://www.facebook.com/events/244249092362653/

Sup Josh. I'll definitely be tuning in.

Definitley gonna check it out funkdoc!

 

[sleepykyo]

Chun would have gotten a lot more play if they changed her into rolling motions character such as 3S Chun or SFxT Chun.

Seth Killian talks a million things fighting games related, mostly old days of fighting games at the arcades.

I still don't understand why/how throws got a reputation for being disrespectful. It's a tool, regardless of how weak/powerful they are, just like any other tool.

i'm probably wrong, but weren't they non-escapable/techable in the earlier versions of sf2?

 

[Exr]

In early versions they were and they tended to do a ton of damage, but without them there's really no way to crack someone turtling. Whenever I land Balrogs headbutt throw in 2 you could feel the frustration.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Yes in CE they were untechable, but that changed once ST was introduced.

It still does a crap ton of damage in ST lol


Also sf2 throws used to do like 1/4th life or more if I remember right. So it was just 3 or so tick throws and what ever else and you won lol which is exactly what I aimed to do as a kid. I didn't really give a shit what people thought. They could give me 25 cents if they want me to lose.

Throws were really strong and people disliked it. As the article noted, a lot of arcades had their own culture on what was acceptable and ignore it at your peril. Some Mexican arcades would have the no throw mentality and some Asian arcades had a yield the second round if you won the first mentality. Cues that's racist gif.

“I remember telling my friend Benny, you know, you have to go start the car.” Killian grabbed the money and made good his escape.

Sad/funny thing is this doesn't seem out of place to me.

I'd rather have the issues with today's FGC over worrying about whether you'd get stabbed or attacked in an arcade. It happened to me a few times.

 

[Mr. Rellik]

I almost got into a fight for throwing someone in Tekken Tag Tournament in the arcade. It would have been on if the guy didn't have 3 other friends with him. I'm sure he wouldn't have tried to push me if he was alone. He did tell me to stop throwing him, but I didn't listen.
