So nice, I'm buying it twice.

I especially like that it will be inflicted upon those who hate it like the punishment they deserve
Cracks of that SFV whip

Tekken 7 I want you.
I'll buy that twice, too, if it comes to pc.
Can't wait for that to come out as well.
Unfortunately, it'll be out on console after it stops making Namco money in arcades
so it'll be a launch game for the Playstation 6
Oddly enough, I actually played T7 last night... it turns out one of the local Dave & Busters here has two of the old US loketest cabinets. Apparently they are the only two cabinets still in the US? Really weird. They were busy all night with a line about 7-8 deep -- first time I can remember having that old arcade experience in a loooooooong while.

I really hope Tekken 7 comes to PC, so I can probably get to skip a whole console generation

Urien's midscreen game is scarier than getting cornered in my book. Those cross up head butts are no joke. As for Alex... I call playing him more desperate than challenging lol. His EX moves and specials have their uses, but everything is pretty weird. His flash chop is probably his best special and he can combo into it, but he can't super cancel it like he can his slash elbow which can't be combo'd into. Most of his best normals also can't be special or super canceled. Alex is the personification of clean footsies. I'm in the middle of some coop cup footage and it doesn't get more honest than this.
I know the feeling.
After seeing your post I loaded up 3S and got destroyed by a veteran player. Then I found a newbie and had fun with him for a while. VSav is only ever full of killers, but I'm better at that game. That oldschool fighting game life is tough.

Old school fighting game isn't so tough when you meet the right people. Met a guy on Fightcade and he's teaching me ST until V.
Slash elbow can be comboed into. You need to buffer or partition it. You can combo flash chop with super but only the heavier versions which can't be comboed into. I see Genki do it as read but he never or almost never combos into super. Either standing mp ex flash chop or stand mp ex slash elbow is what i see him do most. It does comparable damage and good corner carry.
He is pretty honest but he has some stuff gimmicks like stomp mixup and kara power bomb.
Crossup headbutt. You mean after hitting you with aegis then headbutting over you to push you into the mirror?
where's blanka?
I would totally fa... I mean buy this.
This is how I feel against jlai.
I lose to the all the whack ryus in fightcade cause I'm too slow to play 3s properly.
Edit: Are you on the discord chat thingy?

I'm better at SFA2 than 3S. I'm booty at 3S.

Depends on the game and the community. VSav had a helpful community, but it's tough as nails despite being relatively simple.
Lots of nice tips here. I also noticed that most JP Alex players follow up HP flash chop with EX slash elbow. I just forgot about how the HP version of chop stuns people.
I am now.
You play Chun Li in A2?

I play Chun, Charlie, Ryu, Rose, and Sim sometimes.
Yoooo teach me some SFA2 Cindi-sensei
Cindi Mayweather

Face knows more than me. Despite SFA2 and 3 being my favorite fighting games I didn't start playing them competitively till last year.
FACE just wants to hurt my ego, he doesn't want to teach me.
Can't right now, woke up at 5 pm for some strange reason and gotta catch up on work ;_;

Maybe if ya stopped dodging me every time I ask for games.

Who is going to be good to counter-pick against Birdie in SFV?
ZeroTheShadow
Member
Sim.
Bruh, aiight
Uhhhh I honestly don't know. He isn't THAT strong of a character to me so I don't have trouble with him when I'm playing Roo.
Personally the majority of birdie's i played have been free to Chun. Stuffed the command grabs every time with b.HP, or f.mp, or vskill etc. And the air legs pressure is strong.

I am half and half on Tekken. Josie looks fun as does Choloe and Asuka's honkers cannot be denied, but I dunno, that game seems like hell.

I will attempt to at least try every character in SF5 since the roster is manageable. Who knows, I might actually like Chun.
He has issues with other grapplers and Cammy/Chun. Cammy's close to even though, it's just an annoying matchup.
happy new years man!
Happy new year. Now give me money. Kappa.

Great Dom101, but this quote in particular:
http://shoryuken.com/2013/07/29/domination-101-critical-breakdown/
How do I create opportunities? I haven't concentrated on combos for the same reason. But I don't know how to make opportunities yet.
In SFV, opportunities for combos come in the form of crush counters.
This Dom101 completely changed my thinking with my current game plan but I want to know more. I'd love to learn about strategy and setups and positioning.

i'm from asia so chinese new year is a big holiday here.
but what chinese families usually do here in malaysia is we would have a big family reunion dinner on the day before the first day of chinese new year and on the first week of cny, we would go visit relatives' houses and collect red envelopes (aka money) from them like this.
it's also the time where we become degenerates and gamble our life savings away.
Yo I responded to your question about non English films if you're interested and missed iti'm from asia so chinese new year is a big holiday here.

oops, i've forgotten to reply to your post but i did write down the films you recommended. thanks!
Np, just wanted to give a heads up. Oh, A Copy of my Mind is cool too. I don't think I mentioned that one
Creating opportunities really depends. Sometimes it can be player dependent on getting the read on what type of player they are. If it's a bad flowchart player, your opportunity is to let them hang themselves. Another is looking at their defense. Maybe this opponent is just really bad at throws and are concentrating on just high/low. See if the opponent is very bad at footsies and play too passively, end up walking them into the corner. You can also try to figure out if they're an impatient player if you end up ruining one of their strategies.
If we're looking at SFIV, definitely take a look at matches that end up having amounts of time where "nothing" happens. Take note on what breaks that. Just remember against a smart player, they'll be trying to create opportunities as well.
If you want some examples of setups, theres a lot of examples but look up some of DJ-B13's CvS2 videos on youtube. A lot of them show block strings, hit confirms, frame traps, and then how to maximise damage when you land the hit. Then after the combo ideally you put them into some sort of option select scenario or 50/50 so that you can get more damage. What I do is try to figure out the most damage you can get from every move, in any situation (e.g. every move midscreen, in the corner, with no meter, with max meter, etc), and then you can see which moves you should be going for, and what you can do to make them expect something else.
