Decided to not get salty at all, just play with a cheerful mood.

wound up losing another 200PP, continued my losing streak from yesterday and now im 1000PP down from my peak. About 800BP down as well (didn't even know that was possible)

Not really mad, just...confused. Is it normal to be so wildly inconsistent?

I was the same way a few days ago, I even dipped below 2400, the worst since I crossed that threshold when the game came out! I had to force myself to get over 2700bp just to feel better.

Speaking of alt characters, I don't feel like I'm making much progress with Fei Long. With Dudley I feel like I'm always learning new tricks and setups, but that doesn't really happen with Fei. I just measure distances and work on my reaction time.

I've actually been playing a lot of Sagat lately for some reason. He's pretty fun to use as a side character while I decide whether Gen is worth pursuing. Gen takes a hell of a lot of focus to use well. Crazy potential, and his damage is like a soft rain turned into a lightning bolt once he has meter. Stance cancels will really destroy fireballs if I could get the timing down, too.

Pick up an alt character or play player matches

You know back in vanilla I pretty much used every charge char as alts (except chun and blanka)...now with super i can't pick up any other charge chars. They all pretty much are disgusting to use, and since i put so much effort into Deejay i completely forgot how to play any of them at even the most basic level.

So i just stick with deejay.

I love DSP's playthroughs, they can be some funny shit. I buy and sell a lot of games online, so they help me decide when I'm on the fence.

Can't wait for him to get his ass handed to him by a pad player. The EVO staff will probably pin him against Vangief in the first round.

I'm glad DSP has fans, which have allowed him to sort of take off from work and play games for a living. But...Vangief is awesome. And he's awesome because he got involved with the local community in NorCal. He obviously put in a lot of time in the lab, online, local and researching instead of posting videos on youtube.

Not a bad site. Kind of reminds me of giantbomb.

What's with all the vanilla footage in the comeback video?

And I don't know what's up with the newegg thing, I'm registered but I'm not on any of the ladders.

man i shouldn't have watched my old vids....


most depressing thing ever. Watching myself play this char for not even a week and i had links down, proper defence, mixups, ACTUALLY TECHING THROWS! .I used the right moves at the right time...had someone shown this to me i would have said "damn that deejay is really solid, doesn't always do max damage but good fundamentals. I need to step my game up". But it was me from week fucking one. Now im sitting here wondering "where the hell did I go wrong".


Im gunna delete those damn videos :lol

If DSP hasn't been playing much hes got a lot of catching up to do. I'm still blown away how much the level of play progresses month by month.

Honest question, because I remember when you were a regular competitor with Sagat, but do you ever imagine yourself catching up with the current heads of norcal? Do you want to?

Yeah I mean I'd love to play more and go to tournaments, and do well, but I just have too much on my shoulders to devote that kind of time to practicing. It's like, if I'm playing, who's running the stream? :lol

Sounds like a weak excuse but I really only have limited time to play these days. That, and NorCal really is retarded good in regards to over all skill level. There are a ton of cats here who are really awesome who honestly dont get the exposure they deserve.

I've kinda had my time in spotlight, I enjoy running the stream and promoting the scene these days I guess.

edit: I am gonna try to put a lot of work into Makoto though. I think she fits my play style better.

Uggh, getting threi'd tonight on ranked. I kid you not, fought 4 Guiles in a row. And some unofficial Bison pressure. Getting hit by the same Rog headbutt anti air 4 times without learning means I'm too tired for street fighter right now.

0.0 wow, that is fast, I need to look at inputs and try it myself
Click to expand...

it's no quicker than the usual cancel to link it after a fierce or c.strong, but the ability to do that input on reaction and not get hit in the face is something else

I have a new theory about SSF4. Anyone who sticks to one char and one char alone is usually far more miserable than people who at least have one alt.

DSP deserves some props if he's actually able to make a living uploading videos to YouTube.

lol at him talking trash about Vangief though.

I think I might be able to beat Valle in a Ryu mirror, now. I've been leveling up secretly the past couple weeks.

Lamer is a certified stream diva now man, dude won't even play a match any more unless it's being streamed somewhere. And I swear Lamer and Grimmmz have the weirdest like mating rituals when they are in the same lobby, shit is bizarre. <3 Grimmmz & Lamer though <3
