Super Street Fighter 4 |OT3| BACK OF THE BUS, SAGAT!

Good games Cloudios, I definitely remember playing you now. It's been a long time, but you were one of those guys from the old vanilla PC days that would kick my ass all the time when I joined your room. I didn't know you were a GAF'er. Despite the input delay, your execution is on point, which is pretty amazing to say the least.

Sorry I couldn't put up a better fight. I felt like I was playing under water, everything was coming out so late and I couldn't even do the simplest things let alone the normal BnB combo that I land almost all the time in better connections or offline. My only wins were playing runaway characters. It actually felt kind of good playing vanilla Sagat for once and being the one play purely keep away.

Anyways, GG and if you want some games despite the poor connection, I'm down whenever I'm available.

They ripped the new alt's from the consoles to the PC Edition, plus they're making brand new stages.
That's all well and good, but I want the new characters + balancing that AE brings. Playing Vanilla at this point is like playing SF3:NG instead of 3S. I want to see what the mod community would pull off for the new characters, some of their stuff is super impressive.

Is there a gaf c hat equivalent on 360? I really like the convenience of having it downloaded on demand but gaf
chat on ps3 really out
weighs it.

Sagat can do a number on Abel with his normals/TK pressure now as I think the hitbox on his roundhouse was improved in super. On knockdown he's in the same position as every other DP character against Abel.

GGs though we were all playing like utter ass through most of the set and only I had the excuse of suffering from Chinese Takeaway.

1a. HOLY SHIT it's hard to overstate how badly Gen got hit with the nerfstick. His mk > hands loop being gone is one thing, but that also leads to him building meter much slower in Super, especially since they lowered how much meter he builds from hands. It's criminal, what they did to him.

Maybe they just figured he didn't need the meter when they took away the EX Oga escape :(

I'll be juggling both, the place where the CenCal crew plays will have 3 setups for marvel and 3 setups for super. But im mostly sticking to playing offline only nowadays with those guys.

But i'll still be active here

Also, a bit off topic

But whoever is doing the MVC3 thread add my name to the OP for PSN because I will be creating a new PSN gafchat for MVC3. Just to let people know who to add to receive an invite if they'd like one.

So whoever is doing the official thread PM me like a day before you post it up so I can get that squared away.

Thanks!

I almost made it to get everyone possible on-board so at launch they could just access the link. Good to know it'll be up soon.

See? Here we go. Here's your chance to attract new people and get old players back, guys. Convince me that SF4 is awesome and that I should be buying it.

SF4 is awesome if you love TIE-HER-UPPER-BUTTS, otherwise no.

SSF4, meanwhile, is awesome because of BINGO PUNCH.

Also "hit stick," is "arcade stick?" Right? If you're wanting an arcade stick, go with the PS3 version as you don't need to deeply mod it to plug/play on PS3 SSF4 and PC SF4.

Finally broke the 7500+ barrier with Blanka, and I have a B-rated Guile and Vega :)

Moving up in the SSF4 world, though I'm still scrubby.

No, Hitbox is like an arcade stick, but instead of an actual stick, it has 4 buttons for the up/down/left/right directions. Useful for those freaks who like to type out their fighting game moves.

Hater! If I were to get a stick like that, I would've stuck with the WSAD format

Awesome. Just 2 more hours(of course, I bet it will start late).
Yeah, I wasn't expecting it too. Should have just put it starts at 3:30. 90-minute delay is about par for the course for a Level|Up stream.

Yea I barely play ranked but decided to play yesterday and hit 7500+ with Fuerte.. lol

What is funny is that I'm still top 120 BP for Fuerte worldwide with that crap.

my PP though sits at 2800 =[


I peak out at about 3300's and then go into tanking losing streaks.

My PP has never been really high, but I play ranked matches a lot with some friends.
We pass the controller, drink some beer, until we have these epic losing streaks :).
Still fun though.

And I also like trying out some new characters lately, but no matter how much I try I never win a lot with the likes of Hakan or Gouken :(

Weiiiird.

I'm under the impression that the inputs are generally considered more rapid? You can press buttons faster than you can move a stick.

That's my understanding, anyway. Is that under contention?

outliers will get weeded out.

My worst matchups with dudley atm are Sim, Chun, guile,rose, deejay, but I'm a gouken specialist so I only voted on his matchups. Worst for gouken being Cammy, gief, rog, bison, fuerte

The difference is so small as to be meaningless in actual practice. It just comes down to comfort and personal preference.

Kurasa bodied me at focus fire in lacrosse, WI using one of these.

Was really impressed with how good he was with timing charge moves with it, he was using balrog.

I would think the B, F motions with tight timing would be tough. Especially Balrog Headbutt into U1.

Dat deejay vortex.


I can't even look at Super any more. I think my copy is going to just sit on my shelf until AE comes out. All Mahvel all the time!

Also, this stream is boss. Loving the twitter updates in the corner and player cams!
