Yipes came down to Absolute Battle, here in Dallas TX, along with Sanford and other members of Empire. I got top 8 in the tournament as well as my friend FindmyFarms.
I lost to Sanford in Winners and in losers I lost to Mike Weng, really good Ryu player.
Got 8th place, kinda bummed but hoping to get better and make my way up to the top sometime soon.
Also, think I have the best placing of a Cody in a major as of yet, although I'm not too sure of this haha.

I'm happy for you. Great to see people from GAF place high in a tournament. If only it wasn't for those darn out of towners. And your Cody is definitely on point.
So what were the results? Who won the tournament? Where'd my boy, Find place?

This video begins at the start of Top 8 play. You can watch me get blown up by Ryu. I was afraid to tech because of counter hit setups and ate way too many throws. Still slightly salty but it's a learning experience.
But yeah enjoy!

I'm surprised there isn't montages of players like Daigo, Wong, Sako, Mago, Valle, etc... of all their hype moments in every game they've been in.
Would be pretty sick if someone made that. I mean, Daigo has the 3s parry, the comeback vs another japanese ryu chip timer win in ST, comeback vs afrolegends, cr. fierce> super against Art, etc...
Someone make it happen.

Yeah, it was nice to see the videos uploaded of the SoCal community interacting with Gamerbee or the Japenese players. The Daigo drinking game video is hilarious.
Gamerbee seems like a very humble, good natured person.
And BotoxAgent, Sako was broken, as well as the Japanese/American knowledge of the matchup. Wong was familiar with it since he plays James Chen and uses the character.

Yeah, I agreem Justin outplayed Sako for sure, esp. Justin being a very good Cammy player himself.
But I do feel that if Cammy is getting the nerf hammer, so should Rufus

The more I think about it, the less I think nerfs are the answer. They nerfed Ryu and Sagat, now Honda and Cammy are too strong. They nerf Honda and Cammy, Chun and Bison are going to be too strong. We're going to nerf the top tier until everyone shuffles around like nursing home patients doing 100 damage per combo. There are some things in the game that they probably need to look at nerfing. But as a whole, you can do wonders for some of these characters when you just give them a little bit more help. Since we're fresh off of SCR, I think Dhalsim is a good example of this.
That said, it's easier to just nerf the top guys, so that's probably what will happen. Then all the low characters will get pointless buffs like some improved normal that no one ever uses anyway.

The only notable nerfs that Rufus got were damage reduction on EX Messiah and a nerf on anti-air UC2. You can look forward to much more dive kick pressure in AE. :lolBotoxAgent said:Yeah, I agree Justin outplayed Sako for sure, esp. Justin being a very good Cammy player himself.

Arturo has been showing the powah of Dhalsim since the 360 Leak. The problem with Dhalsim is he's a difficult character to play, hence why only Jason Cole, Filipino Champ, Henry Cen, Sabin and a few others are the only notable players. SRK didn't go down yesterday becuz of the overwhelming traffic in the Dhalsim sub-forum.
With the damage hammer and nerfs from IV to Super IV, he definitely moved up a bit is not the OMG character, as he has poor matchups against Abel, Rufus, Adon, Ibuki, Viper, etc. It's more a testament to Sabin or Champ's knowledge of the character and matchups.
But honestly, the only thing they can do is tweak damage, nerf the properties of moves or add new moves (which means you have to rebalance anyways).
I think Capcom did a great job with the balance in IV and Super IV. Probably the most balanced title they've released versus tournament mainstays Trinity Strike (Chun, Ken and Yun, not to say some other characters aren't viable), ST and MVC2.

A pity he really didn't beyond a minor ex jesus kick nerf. Dunno why Capcom likes him so much. Also not sure why he gets to keep his instant dive kick.

His dive doesn't build meter so that's probably the only reason why.stabicron7 said:

How would he get his damage otherwise? Cammy's jumpins are pretty good, she has pretty good normals at mid/close range and a DP. She won't be much worse off. Rufus, on the other hand, relies solely on his dive kick. Seriously, what else does he have?
I don't understand all the Rufus hate. People always complain about how cheap he is but only Team EG win with him.

If I had to guess:
1) Cannon Strike gives a ton of hitstun, combo window for Dive Kick is significantly smaller.
2) Cammy BnBs off a Cannon Strike likewise have pretty lenient link windows, Rufus's short, fierce? link is pretty strict.

can't Rufus target combo into Ultra from a divekick though? that's a really good reward
i guess cammy has EX TK strike to ultra, but that's a tougher hitconfirm

1.) Interesting fact the higher up Cammy's dive kick is done the less hit and block stun she gets. We still have no idea on what the min height restriction is so that really doesn't help much.
2.) I will give you that Rufus does have harder BNB's however as far as the annoying BS factor his dive kicks are just as bad if not worse to deal with than Cammy's for a lot of characters.

Cammy and Rufus divekicks are pretty equal IMO. Different properties and situationally a bit different, even though at the core the dive kick is simply a throw tech punish.
-Startup/hitstun- Cammy's divekick has way more startup/recovery than Rufus, but does more block/hitstun so you get more setups after hit/block. Rufus DK recovery means he can throw more DK at footsie range to lull the opponent looking for an anti-air, whereas Cammy's DK feints at footsies are pretty easily punished. Cammy's however, due to the hit stun and her cr. mk, can punish limbs at footsies.
-Versatility- Rufus DK has a LOT more ambiguous crossup setups off knockdown, whereas cammy's almost never crosses up (some characters such as guile, honda, few others are mad easy to xup w/ cammy dk tho). Due to 3 angles on DK from forward/neutral/back jump rufus has a lot more movement options in the air with it as well. Cammy's trump card is her EX divekick. That shit is strait up broken, and IMO in AE I would have left the TK dk's as his, but actually removed cammy's EX dk. The move has a shit load of priority, and stuffs damn near everything at the right angle. Also the threat of an EX dk makes footsies so bad against cammy because if you stick something out and get a limb caught by an ex dk, you probably just lost the match.
Beating a dead horse, but there's no reason for TK divekick to be taken out. Scrubs bitch about the game being too turtley, but at the same time want to be able to just time os techs in rythm with the opponents block strings. No one likes it when they don't have an all purpose answer to mixups, and get blown up for mashing cr. techs.
