I can't name a single special/super move of makoto's that isn't useless. (Well SAIII stinks). Some of her normals are useless, but that's true with all characters. Chun Li is also the overpowered bitch of the game, so of course makoto is going to look a little sad.

I've been playing Ibuki/Dudley a fair bit in prep. Man, some of the Dudley combos on GameFAQs are sick. THERE WILL BE BATTLE!
Unrelated, but do you need me to run your apt. app fee by The Mill tomorrow morning?

Nah, it can be faxed in by Monday, according to Ian. Just give me a heads up when you need me to run the app fee by the office.

So I played with Necro more, turns out zero of his moves have priority over anything else in the game. I had an especially hard time against Sean, he's like a Necro killing machine. Then later when I fought Ken it wasn't quite as hard but I was tired of playing with a piece of crap, so I switched to Ken and did a perfect on Necro. He's just a big blob of waste frames, I do at least twice as well with Q.
That said, I just SCHOOLED Gill with Ken, I mean I have never beasted him so hard. I crushed him with my might like a saltine cracker, he even tried to resurrect on the second round and I just beat him into an even bloodier pulp. Sorry Gill, no Van Damme tactics today. I like to think maybe shoto's really are superior to other characters, but I know thats not true so I guess I'm just plain better with them, I'm no shoto scrub though.

I played with Elena for a good while after I first got the game, she can be pretty good but Ibuki is kind of similar and way better.

Necro's are quite good in Japan, haven't really seen an impressive US player yet.

I need a version of SF3:3S with online play, so I can start playing again. Arcades are dead here.
p.s. Dudley is the mother fucking man.

I miss the old arcades. They had such a 'feeling' Hearing stupid ass captain america screaming from one corner, Ninja Turtles theme blaring from another, and the sounds of rapid punches coming from the machines at the entrance.

If I am remembering correctly:
"Make your first move, so what's it gonna be? You're trapped in the new world of Street Fighter III. Fight for the future, so what's it gonna be? The third strike Ya'll it's Street Fighter III. Make your first move, so it's gonna be? Fight for the future, so what's it gonna be? The third strike Ya'll it's Street Fighter III."
And let's not forget:
"Let's get it on now, select and make your first pick, let's get it on yo, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, let's get it on yo, choose and pick the best one, let's get it on now, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...[repeat]"
I usually use the 3s intro as my ring tone.
I am practising with Chun Li right now...Never liked Charge Characters but since the SUPERS of the SFIII saga are easy to perform in comparison to the ones in Alpha series (for Charge characters that's it), there are no major problems.
It's a pity but I tried and tried to be good with Yang...but no luck. Yun is a much better character and I don't like him...
Makoto was kinda cool but was too slow for me...

Ugh, first round of T5 someone fucks up the brackets and we end up having to play like the best ranked player in Canada. That didn't turn out well, lol.

Haha, yeah. Back to Urien I guess. >
There were some pretty good Makotos there but the team that was the most surprising was a beastly Sean, Twelve, Necro team, and all of them were really good.
A store here finally got in some Hori ps2 sticks, the Tekken 4 and SC2 ones, for $50 cdn each so I'm gonna grab one and practice on the Ps2 version. T6 = revenge tourney.

AWESOME, thanks. It's been stuck in my head for a while. Damn Gill is pretty tough. Had to resort to Hugo's ass thump after a few crouching jabs. Works wonders.
Funny how the Daigo video has sparked so much interest in this game all of a sudden, me included. Everyone's goal now is to parry an impossible super.

No kidding, I went to the arcade and the SFIII scene was great. But of course Austin, TX has always had some pretty awesome Third Strike players.
I had an awesome match with this guy on Thursday. I was Ryu and he was Ken, classic setup. First round, he beat my butt something silly. Didn't even let me take 25% of his life away. Second round, he took me to about 10% of my life but I beat him with a very luckily placed punching combo that lead into Ryu's first Super Art. Third round, real nailbiter. We both got down to about 25% of our life. But this guy was awesome at parrying in the air, and eventually got the best of me.
Great experience because he gave me some tips on parrying, I forgot most of them. But I did get the timing down on parrying some of Dudley's punches and basically all types of fireballs. Something I can't say I had before. That video really sparked me to get back into the fighting game scene. I've already signed up for two tournaments within the next month, and I'm practicing my technique like crazy. Of course I'm trying to learn how to parry as well...something that wasn't part of my strategy before.

That little girl is annoying. Great speed, but I don't really play a heavy ground game. I tend to jump around a lot. You still think Makoto would have anything to offer for me?
Well jumping a lot isn't good even normally. (suseptable to anti air, parries, and juggles)
Let's see air stuff good for makoto.
Tsurugi [qcb+k] (used for juggles in combos, EX version on opponents on the ground, air to air is a gamble but good if it pays off [starts a juggle] )
Jumping HP (good stun, decent air to air)
Jumping HK (Decent combo starter, good air to air)
Jumping MK (Cross up)
Makoto is the Stun goddess too. She can kill Akuma in one super.

No need to convert here. I love Makoto to death. Q is interesting, but the struggle to learn him pisses me off after a bit, especially when playing against skilled Shotos.
