Already in that group of Makoto videos that was posted earlier, but yeah. DELICIOUS.

Here's a nice little vid posted on Tokido YT page, titled "We Want Fun."

cool montage.
looks like much fun and camaraderie.
i really should take part more in the local scene.

What defines a game specialist? Do you have to be really good at just one game and not be heard from in any other game?

If so, how well-known was F. Champ for his MvC2 play? I hadn't heard of him at all before SFIV, but I didn't really pay attention before then. Were there other games he was really good at?

Champ would most likely fall under dhalsim specialist. My reasons for calling Kuroda a 3s specialist are best described by Gods Beard above. He is considered an expert with many characters and has his own original style for each of them.

 

[Timedog]

Why is it impossible to find the podcasts on the Iplaywinner site? They need to have a link at the top directly to all the podcasts. And maybe do some Spooky x IPW podcast action.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I personally think it isn't that bad. Chun really can't do much against IAD pressure, and can't d.mk xx super when Twelve is never on the ground. But yeah, Twelve is not a good character by any means.

The problem is that this is just on paper. bHP, cRH, HP all fuck up Twelve's air dashes, she can super Twelve's RH on hit, and the disparity in damage and health is so high that Twelve can guess wrong twice and lose the round, but has to guess right nearly a dozen times to win.

It's not that Chun can't deal with air pressure so much as Twelve dies instantly when he touches the ground.

Is Japan big on AWK?

 

[SouthernDragon]

I do wonder why Kuroda hasn't picked up SSFIV. Lack of parries?

Probably the same reason he didn't pick up Call of Duty Black Ops.

???

 

[XenoRaven]

I think because they took motion super away that SFIV Chun should get that b HP back. It's only fair. =D

 

[Wiseblade]

???

A poorly executed El Fuerte joke.

 

[MightyKAC]

He's definitely made the rounds in Japan.

AWK- GUNDAMUU!!!!!!

 

["God's Beard!"]

I agree. And Ryu should get the mule kick, Ken should get his roll, Akuma should get KKZ, Dudley should get short swing blow, etc etc etc

I want a fighting game with a shit ton of gimmicks, that's why I'm psyched for Marvel 3.

 

[XenoRaven]

A poorly executed El Fuerte joke.

My favorite part about this statement is that you could rearrange the words so that El Fuerte is at the beginning and it still holds true.

 

[jman2050]

A poorly executed El Fuerte joke.

Don't feel bad, I instantly knew you were talking about El Fuerte there. Of course, Fuerte's mixup odds skew heavily in his favor to balance the lack of reward, and I'd wager a guess that the same can't be said for Twelve

Sad to see another arcade go. I wonder if Round 1 opening up down the street contributed to this all. Who knows.

 

[the_log_ride]

so what's the deal with Evil Ryu? does the character exist?

Anybody catch the Chinatown Stream? Did Cen every show the screen where you supposedly enter the number code?

Rose always had weird shit in the corner.
Sagat doesn't do the second uppercut of Tiger Destrcution at all if you combo to UC1 in the corner on Rose.

Man, Gouken is looking real nice with AE, gonna finally be able to apply some pressure and deal better against cammy, bison, rog, fei etc. Anybody know if grounded tatsus input has changed? It would improve my oki game substantially.

Vangief to win Evo2011, confirmed.

Some of these changes seem extremely unfair. The Chun and Rufus ultra nerfs seem as if they're punishing players for landing the ultras--the video doesn't indicate, but it seems possible that a Ryu could jump in on Rufus, eat the U2 and then counter-ultra on wakeup. I don't think Rose's ultra really required substantial modification either.

Less is more, Capcom.

What does Gouken do against crossup except parries now in AE?

I don't live in SoCal but damn that sucks! Seemed like a sweet place and I loved their recent KOFXIII footage. At least you guys still have some arcades left I guess.

I remembered when Tokyo Game Action closed down in Massachusetts (due to flooding). That was pretty sad. Andy (the owner) and his wife were great people and did a lot for the community. He ended up moving to Japan after the place closed and recently ended up in the Japanese Dead Rising 2 commercial. So it didn't end up too bad, I imagine. :lol

 

[Imm0rt4l]

ex demonflip-not recommended
cl.rh hits right above goukens head
Normally I just block though

Its possible to whiff cr. lk(maybe mp as well?) and you won't get crossed up. I think ex tatsu works as well, but again I normally just block.

 

[hitsugi]

Cant believe the news about AI.. that place was my Bemani haven <3 and the only place with japanese cabs standard before SF4 converted everyone. Wonder if they'll liquidate cabinets

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Is there even a SF4 specialist?

SRK calls them 09ers

Every time I hear about another arcade closing it makes me think about how much I miss my arcade

Yea, I want to buy the BB vewlix cab actually and one of the astros too, lol.

I wonder if the owner couldn't' just move the location. I bet the rent in that complex is pretty high.

Still sucks to see another arcade fall. I guess just Vid94 and SuperArcade for me.

I wish James Games out in the 909 would step up their game.

And on the second rekka, making it a really easy hit confirm.

Mantis FADC is not easy, trust me. You literally have to input the FADC before the second mantis slash hits. It almost feels like a 1 frame window, although in reality it's probably 2 - 3 frames. I tried it on the first day of AE, and I was able to do the fadc maybe once out of twenty tries.

Yeah, the movie is awful in a hilarious way. Ryu using the move he is most well known for against the monstrous Akuma - his deadly choke hold. :lol

Yeah, I hate hard FADCs like that and Dudley's Ducking Upper. Then of course the shotos get cMK xx jab Fireball FADC, which is the biggest bullshit ever. Or worse, cMK xx EX Fireball FA.

SF Alpha is terrible.

I remember when they showed it at EVO back when and everybody was laughing their asses off.

I'm gonna roll now, since this is it's swan song. I'll be taking photos.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

alpha isn't great, but it's better than what i've seen of alpha generations and it looks better than all the other sf movies though thats not saying much. I might watch generations through netflix just for fun.
