like getting mauled to death by a kitten

That official jab is impressive. Reminds me of that ridiculousness Daigo would pull with Ryu's jab.

only threi can pull off this official madness
Started playing this again to get over heartbreak.
Played Ranked for the first time on ps3. Went to 3.5k pp in 3 or so days after not playing for months.
Also some dude called me a bitch after he got a win on me so I decided to ft5 him and won 5-0 clean. This game still makes me salty as fuck even if I win.
Good 2 be back. Maybe...

You still have Hawk as your main?

Yeah, but I was playing this one dude in a lobby earlier who didn't know how to use Vega. First time I beat him with Dan's Super, then the next match I got a P on him.

Is everyone on GAF joining the Hawk army or something? I'm starting to add him to my roster myself.

Hitokage used to main Hawk
I've used him since Super, I think Shouta has too
I...think that's it lol
I sub him and focused on him for a time. Same with Juri. Chun-Li's always been my main, not that it has meant much in the past couple years.

I know how you feel. I had a LONG ass session yesterday for the first time in probably a year (well I played xCobalt a couple months ago in a short set) and I went 68-9. I had a 30 win streak with Sagat and a 20 win streak with T.Hawk.
Felt good, but my blood was boiling at some of those losses. Overall I was very pleased though and now I'm getting super hype for Ultra.
We should play again sometime. Last we played, you didn't even remember who your main was haha

Didn't use Deejay tho
Still playing Yun for like 98% of the time.
I tried playing Dudley again but I'm straight terrible with him now. Anyone with mildly decent footsies can keep Dudley the hell away and I just don't have the patience anymore lol.

I hear Juri is top 10 in Ultra. I am pleased. Tell me it's true gaf.

If I'm going strictly off of points then it would be Rufus and Viper. I didn't use them at all yesterday though. I don't feel like I'm ready to use either of them because I'd just go into auto pilot. Sagat and others actually makes me engage my mind, haha.
I know this feel man. Dudley requires a lot of risk taking to get where he needs to be. I don't like having to take damage to give it, nature of the beast when your characters oki and stun is strong. It's funny, I was playing a really strong juri one day. Got one game off with dudley convincingly, then he played SUPER LAME, and when I'd get close she'd either be at advantage or be in a neutral jump blockstring advantage. I was lamed out for like 5 games straight. Then I switched to gouken, and all respect for my character went out the window and he just rushed me the fuck down. I need to find a character that isn't on either extreme. Or I just need to focus on Gouken some more.

You need a sparring partner who plays Vega....

GGs xCobalt. After losing a billion straight with Viper and Sagat, I realized I needed to use characters with good footsies... plus I kept dropping the Ultra with Viper, really irritating.
When you hit that U1 on Rose and won that match, I laughed so hard. Such a good read. So demoralizing.
Gouken is so scary once you're in the corner. I feel like I can't press anything. And you just know how to make such great use out of all of his normals.

Sagat beats Gouken doe.

Shit, not mine. I feel like Gouken doesn't let me play the way I want.
Plus I have pretty much no Gouken experience.
Yea he hits like a truck, you're probably respecting him too much though. You can abuse him on wakeup pretty bad with cr. LK and cr.MP.
Fireball game is a lot different from most MUs with Sagat because you have to be on the lookout for EX Demon flip which is annoying, but Sagat still wins the zoning game.
GGs man. I had such a hard time against Rufus. Not sure if I should try and play keepaway or be more aggressive.
It can be really difficult once you're in the corner. Just remember not to press buttons after blocking a fireball, but rather the follow-up normal. I sometimes do a far roundhouse after a fireball and it usually catches people jumping away or just pressing buttons. The roundhouse is -3 on block so there's your chance to do something.
I think the matchup is pretty even. I still need more experience in it but I think it can go either way. Gouken has a fuzzy guard setup against Sagat too which I need to practice more.

Sagat can get in dat old man ass, you just have to play the matchup right.

As of right now, she's the strongest in ultra.
Yea. Especially if sagats rocking U2

Yeah I kept a lot of stuff in mind from the first time we played. I wasn't pressing to much in the corner and I was able to punish things a lot easier once I started playing Vega.
I don't know the matchup at all, not a lot of Gouken's out there. I suppose I could just stay on top of him. I like to zone though, but fucking demon flip gets me nervous.
Funny thing is I have no problems at all with Akuma.

Burn a bar on angry scar, it breaks focus which also gives you counter hit damage. That will terrify Gouken players into not using demon flip to get in or to try and bait you with his air parry.
The Mango Sentinel

Alright I'll keep that in mind, especially since I'll be playing Sagat heavily in Ultra. I wish I knew the changes though. I'm not sure if any of the lists are still current.
black_vegeta

Yup, as soon as I have a bar available, I'll get dat Angry Scur locked and loaded waiting for some demon flipping Gouken to do so.

You mashed on my EX axe kick reset so I mashed on you Jlai. Something strange happened, as soon as the match ended, my game just froze on me and can't be restored so I had to go to the task manager to end it.
I used that match to practice some stuff. I tried the unblockable after forward throw against you, but you kept managing to DP it successfully. Whenever I tried it in training room, even if I did it incorrectly it was really hard to DP, but I think you were something like 4 for 4. I also wanted to mix up hop kick to make you not want to throw and to tech with another button, albeit slower one so I could try to land counter hit cl. HP or far MP(which will link into MK axe kick). It looked like you just resorted to jabs though.
Finally I found that I can DP so much better when I throw out cr. MK as a poke instead of a block string into fireball. It's strange, but just the fact that I cancel into fireball completely throws off my ability to DP people who jump my cr. MK. I also got hit by several of your jump ins trying to do a late DP which didn't work out. But GG's, hopefully you see this because I just shut off the game when it froze on me and never bothered going back to see if you said anything.

Reactions are a natural weakness of me in general. It's the reason why I have such difficulty getting out clutch anti-airs when I need it. Like I said in my previous post, I ate jump ins trying to DP them and payed for it. Same reason why I eat so many fireballs up close and why I can't do cr. MK, hado, FADC, whatever because I'm too slow to recognize the hit confirm.
As for the 2nd part, I wanted to try the unblockable which I struggled to DP myself in the training room. But I see you had no problem doing it yourself. Must have delayed the hell out of that.
My XBL sub ran out... so..... back to PC I guess.
Lol SF4 PC thinks 1 second delay match is a 4 bar.
I mean, it does lie when someone comes in but even after the match it still said the connection was a 4 bar.
God damn this fucking online in this game. Also even less people play on PC than before, tempted to resub already.
