Yeah, Rubeks is one of the few focused Skrull players out there, so it's always good to see him do his thing.

 

[crimsonspider89]

FREE.

So...about this?

 

[Owensboro]

Wow.

That is some change. I am hyped.

I'd imagine the story is similar for most here. I kinda missed SF2, I did play the cab at my local pizza place every now and then, but I was playing MvC1 and 2, CvS2, and 3rd Strike as a kid. I just didn't really learn or maybe I should say "understand" fighting games until SSIV and started informing myself on SRK, videos like Vesper Arcade's tutorial, and the original SF4 crowd here on GAF helping me out.

I'll second that story. I played a hell of a lot of fighting games in my past (SF2 on) but never really understood anything deeper than "use special moves, jump, punch and kick". Also, I always thought throws were super-cheap (unfortunately, I still do!)

All that changed when I actually started watching streams and spending time here and on SRK. The most dramatic change was when, after losing around 45 straight games online in Vanilla SFIV, someone either here or on SRK suggested that I just "put the CPU on it's hardest setting and try to block every attack. If you time out, you win!" So started my long journey understanding blocking, and how/when to use normals, and why special moves aren't the best to just throw out there.

I'm still not good by any stretch of the imagination (I think I have a 25-40% win ratio with Dudley?), but I'm having a ton of fun playing and watching streams. Much more so then I used to. I still don't understand certain character types (grapplers in particular), but I'm pumped to try and figure out Hugo when the next iteration of SFIV comes out!

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Commentary before the match: KBR is confident because Rubeks has never played him before.

Unfortunately Rubeks plays Jan/RanmaSama A LOT.

 

[TheOGB]

Firebrand

 

[Tizoc]

ggs Jibbo! Futile was doing good too.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Third Raven I've seen on stream today.

Bet this one gets destroyed as bad as the last two.

 

[MezzoForte]

Xiaohai vs. Reynald in KoF, pretty major matchup.

 

[Joule]

Eh-sama's Ky play. That's the good stuff!

 

[Sigmaah]

Dat Sunny Delight Firebrand!

 

[Gr1mLock]

Yipes in winners?? Yaaay.

 

[Dahbomb]

So...about this?

That was supposed to be Anabolic not Angelic.

Kid got over excited for some reason.

 

[Kellen]

Yipes in winners?? Yaaay.

Maybe we'll get a motivated Yipes this tourney

That was silly of them to say - if both players have never played against each other before, then neither player would have known what to expect. A statement like that cuts both ways, basically.

 

[RedSwirl]

So I'm pretty new to KOF. My faves so far are Robert, Kim, and King, where are they in terms of popularity? Haven't even had time to try all the characters.

No one plays Robert. Kim and king are pretty popular.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Oh wow she won!

 

[SousedLouse]

Lots of people use Kim and King, but Robert hasn't been popular since the loke tests for the arcade version 2 years ago.

 

[RellyRell28]

That was some solid Raven play right there

 

[Gr1mLock]

Maybe we'll get a motivated Yipes this tourney

Not holding my breath. Hopefully he just doesnt get eliminated off stream.

 

[StriKeVillain]
