Was watching the newest (pre-recorded) Cross Counter, and Gootecks's "Imma fuck 'im u-- j/k lol" moment was hilarious.

Why I love Ibuki

I really wish they adjusted the start-up on the Orbs for this move, since it'll be a good anti-air in 2012 (it kind of already is, but you only get a crappy untechable knockdown with just a couple of hits).

Hey all the big kids do it, I wish I had a char that could mash effectively, that shit is strong in this game.

I picked up dudley because he seems like a good rushdown character and can really give gouken trouble up close. I was hoping that he would be a good counter for my bad matchups, I was wrong though, Dudley might be good against a character like gouken, but he's got a lot of shortcomings and shares some of the same bad matchups. In the end I was stuck with a character that I enjoy playing/watching, but a character who does me no real good in matchups. He doesn't compliment my other character much really. I regret choosing a secondary character that I thought seemed cool rather than choosing a secondary that was at least b-tier and can compliment gouken, and pick up the slack.

Dudley is a joy to watch and play if you get over the midtierness. The thing that makes him so exciting is pretty much his downfall, the high low mixup. Characters with invincible reversals and good backdashes will make you rage but if you guess right the reward is very sweet.

The nice thing is the general online population has no idea how to fight dudley so you can surprise a lot of folks.

same here. finally got a few days to play recently. Cody is so sick in this game, shame he gets shut down so hard by the twins, hopefully this will change in 2012.

Anyone else watch Julies show? It's from MLG where they talk about games. On the first episode they have the director of Arcade on there. They talked about the dying arcade scene in NY, and it goes into NY's fighting game scene. Spotted almost everyone aside from Spooky and Art.

http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/videos/77385-julie-s-show

First part is about Halo. Second part is of the documentary Arcade. Skip to 17:15 for the fighting game part.

Capcom is ruining this game with their "balance" changes. Everytime anyone figures out how to do something cool with a character, Capcom says they're OP and they need to be nerfed. No one should ever be nerfed unless it's something ridiculous (e.g. an unblockable infinite). They should just boost the lower tiers until they are competitive.

I went back to watch some old Vanilla matches. I watched Sanford's Cammy and Combofiend's Cammy when he pulled it out against Justin. At one point Justin mirror matches him and even won 1 match. But what really boggles my mind is that none of the 3 were doing the so called Sako combos. All I kept seeing was dive kick, low forward, cannon drill. And when they got dizzies or crumples, it was just FA, st. fierce, drill. Really, did it take Sako to show everybody that these combos existed or was it just that nobody was confident in doing these combos until we saw Sako attempting it every chance he got and landing it a high majority of the time.

This is why fighting games evolve years and years after its release. The higher players don't scour frame data and invent new combos. They wait for others to figure it out, then copy it if it's worthwhile.

That's how all fighting games are. Just take a look back at the initial tournament footage for any reasonably complex fighting game.

Most people will rely on the base strategies for characters until they have a reason to take it to the next level. Or if they discover another character who can do the same thing but better, lol.

Back then Sanford and Combo didn't really "main" Cammy, mostly as a counter-pick. Sako was going in hard with Cammy. I think US players can get a bit caught too caught up with countering and tier lists.

well...this is wrong...but the base data is accurate i guess.

usually when the game is new people figure shit out as solid shit is found out they start getting lazy and/or people jumping on the bandwagon and they only use what they have seen work.

Usually the better players with a character will come up with things at next level alot of machines are in training mode when there arent many people there. either they are just doing shit or trying out a setup and getting input from other players/people around them this is why its hard to get good alone.

See, I have no problem with that in-and-of-itself. If you're the Yun player, that comeback was clutch and fun to execute. Powerful shit in fighting games is fun. Problem is; no other character can do something similar.

But as much I continue see the comment "Just buff the lower tiers": I don't think those people truly want that. A full roster having powerful tools and combos is more Guilty Gear-ish, and I don't the SF crowd really wants that.

nah, they want flashy stupid stuff. that's why people were rooting for combofiend's abel against champ's dhalsim yesterday even though that's obviously a bullshit matchup.

Well I figure it should take time to learn set ups, but combos, shouldn't everybody have those figured out in a pretty short time? These combos weren't special requirement combos by any means, they're now considered BnB's for her. Which is why I'm surprised we weren't seeing them being used till Super. Really, what were Cammy players doing all of 2009? This is like Akuma players still not knowing or doing the RH loop(which probably would have prevented it from being removed in Super) or Ryu players not knowing or doing the forward fierce crouch fierce link.

Justin/Twitch haven't put a viewer in their Android app so that you can view streams, a feature that's been in iOS for a while now. People have been asking for a year now and still nothing. Ustream has a stream viewer in theirs, fwiw.

I'm pretty sure people just profess to plain like Combofiend more than F. Champ.

Yep, unless it's like Noel Brown playing against Champ, there will always be more people rooting against Champ rather than for him.

There are other instances, like Chris Hu counterpicking Adnan. Looking at another character, all the Tokido montages online are of him just performing the vortex.

It makes me scratch my head why Viper crossed the line of tolerance.

No, it's definitely not a bnb for Ryu. Those Cammy links are though, and they're also her most damaging combos(except the 1 frame st. MP cr. HP link). That's what I meant by the comparison.

Regarding the Rice Eater discussion:

Cammy wasn't Sanford's or Combofiend's mains. They were just alternate characters they used.

It's like when Justin used Fei Long. His Fei Long wasn't in the same category of Inthul's and later Mago's who specialized with the character.

Besides James Chen, lol, who was using Cammy? Sako came along and wham bam we finally got to start seeing what the character could do. And since most hadn't played against Cammy (though Justin played against Chen's and also used her), people were completely overwhelmed and it took a little while to become accustomed to the matchup.

This is why I'm a little surprised about all of the herp derp Viper comments. Besides Flash, and eventually Wolfkrone came along, there wasn't a real Viper army in the U.S. All the bellyaching about the character (which some of it is legitimate) is more from not playing legitimately good Vipers (besides Krone, Latif, Marn, Flash and that one kid from Cali).

I don't necessarily think you're wrong, but your examples don't refute my point at all. It's probably a combination of things.

The Viper whining is a head scratcher to me too. Brings out the scrub in so many people.
