I blame you for your brothers Dee Jay pick. Everytime he picks that asshole I get annoyed as hell from projectile spam or in this case ultra on life lead win.
"Oh, I have the life lead, him hitting his ultra should be nothing just like Last Dr--"
(ULTRA FINISH!)
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT!?"

I knew it was over. There was no way I going to get back from the life lead, so I just threw rocks trying to get you to get it over with.
Why do you think I played that Ryu round just standing there?

"I guess I'm eager for someone to step up and provide a model for domination in SSF4. When I see the same shuffling of winners that tends to happen at low-levels (playing at gatherings, online, with friends) and weekly tournaments (Guard Crush) happening at majors, it makes me a bit uneasy."
I would say stop looking at just the results and look at the matches themselves. Was the quality of play at SCR low? Absolutely not. The Daigo/Valle mirror match was probably the best SF4 Ryu mirror match ever recorded. Filipino Champ played consistently top-notch to win it. Daigo was doing sick things at Seasons Beatings like that Counter-hit crouch fierce into super that blew everyone's minds.
Whatever conclusions you're drawing from there being a similar shuffling at the majors that happens at "low-levels" have no concrete, direct correlation to support them. The most obvious explanation would be that at majors and at "low-levels" the competitors at the respective tournaments happen to be of similar skill.

Got tired of "BALROG WINS." That and Hadoken spam only to wait for you to get in and win is boring~o/`
Honestly, though: I have no clue how Capcom ranks defense. I could block nearly everything with Cody and only receive a "B" or "C" (mostly C) from a round only to have A's in Offense or Technique.
And frankly at this stage of the game, I can't really care. No one I know in real life plays fighting games (or hell, games in general). SRK community around here is small and I don't really fit in there. GAF is a mixed bag. I like fighting games, but I can't really stand playing them with actual human people. Esp. online where lag tactics will generally win. BB is so prone to giving me 0/1/2 (low-end) ranked matches to where the thought of Ranked Matches in ANY fighting game makes me vomit.

Got 5th at my tourney. Could have made top three, but my fingers wanted to press a button when I knew I shouldn't have. But whatever happens happens, no need to dwell on it. But that loss actually helped me put my Sakura on the map. Did some crazy combos and such against one of the best players down here. Got pretty close, but I dropped some combos at crucial points. Still got my props, so I leave happy.
Will post vid of my last match when it gets uploaded.

Will this be the man that gives Daigo the most trouble in Kuwait?

He's from Saudi Arabia, which borders Kuwait so he could be there. The Beast is coming so I assume all the big SF fans from the Middle East should try and make it to Kuwait.

I think Grifter picks U2 when we play just to troll me :lol
Very nice. Grats.

Got sent to losers bracket in quarter finals in this big local tourney today. Couldn't turtle at all when I had to and abel's u2 is too good. Finals are tomorrow, wish me luck(and if you have tips against abel I don't know it would be great), If I make it out of losers I think I'll have to fight that abel player again. Yeah, I used honda all the time, even against chun. Maybe counterpicking with my scrubby gief? I have more luck on the abel matchup with my rushdown blanka, so I might go for it.
PS: Congrats DBJ, miss you guys @gafchat! Big tourneys around here will be over soon.

Sorry man, I was with friends all night late Friday/early Saturday drinking. I got up at 12pm yesterday and was like "screw it I just can't do it". I just locked myself in my room all day and didn't go anywhere.
I honestly felt bad about it since I told you, a few others, and myself that I was going to go.
TurtleSnatcher said:
Of course I am, it's just a joke about Daigo having trouble with Sims.

I just watched the Valle vs Daigo match in top 8 at SCR
such a great match! holy shit.

This is a Ken staple for me. First round I often spam light SRK off resets and wakeup, conditioning them to fear that. Step kick/Kara Throw allows me to shirk pressure on wakeup.
Smarter players will simply stay further back or OS the throw, though, so you gotta watch out.

Swiss tournament in February sounding pretty nice. Tokido's been confirmed a few days ago, and before that they had already announced that Mago as well as Team EG (Wong / Marn / Ricky) would be present at the event. V-Ryu too, naturally.
One Japanese player left to 'reveal', but we'll only hear about that after Nagoya Street Battle's mini-tourney (8 participants tops) is over.

gotta be daigo, right?
Hitokage said:
I still play HDR (they put ST there) , and am willing to play Tekken, SC (but no one shows up for Tekken whenever I do) or VF (which no one ever showed up for).
I'd also play an UM for the giggles, though my SNK is real rusty.
I just don't want to play an Arc game, SF4 or 3S seriously. SF4 I just get random execution lag there for some reason, and the other games are too silly to take seriously.
Also, as you know, working graveyards makes it tough to commit enough time to step up my game or show sometimes. It can be done, but it takes a lot of effort.

I listened to the podcast. Honestly, it just seems like a lot of misunderstanding and chest puffing. Catalyst seems to be willing to give credit or correct his mistakes.
Man, EG and Japanese players are jet-flying, high-rolling SF players.
I know you guys are watching Canada Cup this weekend (Finals day about to go live with top 8 - Daigo, Mago, Mike Ross, JSMaster, Justin Wong, Gootecks, Air at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/teamspooky)
Starting at 4 PM EST (hoping when Canada Cup ends, but delays probably will not make this possible), Live On Three hosted by myself, djWHEAT and SirScoots returns after a 2 month hiatus with SoCal Regionals Champion Ryan "Filipino Champ" Ramirez joining the show to talk about his win. After his win at this past weekend's SoCal Regionals, Filipino Champ became the first American champion featuring Japanese competition in either Street Fighter 4 or Super Street Fighter 4. This included defeating Daigo twice, let alone Justin Wong and Ricky Ortiz once each. Lo3 will discuss with FC regarding his emotional victory at SCR, thoughts going into next weekend's hometown NorCal Regionals event, how his new sponsor BLGaming is treating him, and what the future holds. Lo3 will also be providing live updates from the Canada Cup, as well as diving into the recent controversy regarding SonicHurricane.com and
EventHubs.com.

Sitting around and letting people win is amusing as shit to me. They don't know what the hell is going on at times.
"No, I don't want to play Team Battle. Yes, I picked Akuma so you can win these rounds perfect quickly. Hurry the fuck up so I can make another lobby, get this trophy and forget this mode exists."

Huh team mode is awesome and fun, then again it helps to have a group of friends to play it with. ahh the fond memories of trolling people online with a team of dans :lol
Man, I keep having issues with Chun's ultra 2.
I mean, it should be piss easy to input after EX legs but I always rush it so I come up with either a standing fierce or nothing. I don't even know how the hell that's even possible to screw up but there we go.
Maybe I should just start pumping it like crazy when I see Chun flashing yellow to avoid this and then hit the punches when I obviously see the move ending.

You probably know this already, but as a reminder just remember that if you do any meaty cancellable normal, and abel does wakeup U2 you can always cancel into a special. So if you do a meaty cr. mk, and he does wakeup U2, just cancel that shit into a headbutt.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Now that all tricks are revealed for this game, as an Abel player, I'm wondering how I should be using his U2 since I'm still using U1.
Any tricks or ways to combo it?
