Yeah. I finally got Super on 360 and I gotta say that the connection quality is so much better. I haven't logged a single second on my PS3 copy since getting my 360 copy.

I guess I'll have to send a formal apology to Uzbekistan now...

Well he never made the top 50 in BP(which is what was always posted) and he never participated in any live streamed Japanese tourneys. If he did I'm sure someone would have remembered because foreigners stick out like a sore thumb even if they're still Asian. It's not hard to differentiate Sasuke Ichigawa from Michael Tan.

If he's really tearing it up over there he is either a Sako who just never came out to tourneys or he's is raping all the guys in his local arcade. I'm sure he's gotta be pretty good though. It'd be nice to see who he is and how he does against other top players.

Heh, a Ken Sako would be incredible. That character has some pretty unusual impractical combos that would be thrilling to watch in actual play.

I've seen that video and know about his impractical combos. I main him along with Ryu. I had a Ken mirror today that I posted on youtube. Might as well throw it on here since I never post videos of my play. Ken mirrors can be pretty fun.

Is it me, or does Daigo smile a lot more when he is playing against Japanese players. I noticed it against Mago at Canada Cup too.

What is forward directional influence? You mean he you can move the joystick to determine how far you go? Yep.

Man, PSN ranked is so free. I was beating guys there with a basic instant air JK spamming Adon for 2 hours and got 2000+ pp and C rank. With an 80% win rate.

Man, I wish I was actually as good as those numbers would tell.

On XBL? The win rate is 30%. What the flipping hell? :lol

Was just accused of using turbo in ranked. :lol
Never used that shit; can't they even look in their replay and button inputs? I was kinda puzzled.

I just found out I can do the three short kicks with Bison using Turbo today, while messing around on my buddy's Fightpad...Too bad I play on stick now.

Do you play with no music? The silence is eerie.

I think it's my webcam. I hear the game fine but my web cam doesn't do a good job of picking up the volume. If you watch it again and increase your volume, you'll hear that the video does contain sound. But it's no where near as bad in real life as it was in this video.

Surprisingly, I can link shorts pretty good with the stick; just not the fancy fadc stuff.
I still can't pull em out effectively in online matches so I don't even bother. Forever scrub. :lol

Fraeon, play with PSN SF Gaf chat veterans and see how free they are. ;p

Anyone want to get some games on 360 right now? I'm looking to shake off my rust.

I'll be in the training room, anyone feel free to send me an endless invite. Please specify that you're from GAF. I might have a few heads to invite as well.

Sorry I insulted you by recapping what happened tonight. But hey, I'm not claiming to be godlike here, I basically did say I played a very basic Adon to get those points.

But if any of you PSN gafers are Euro, I can take on the offer. Punishing flowchart Ken's fireballs gets tiring real fast. I'm probably not touching ranked for a long while after this. :lol

a lot of the best players on psn don't touch ranked. The point system on psn is oversaturated, probably in part because of multiple accounts. All in all, no one cares. I'd say join gafchat, but I haven't played any Euro players, maybe their is a Euro gafchat?

Don't take it seriously, I'm pretty sure he was just joking. It probably just wasn't as easy to tell as my post was.

Most of the really good guys on XBL really don't either. They just play in their exclusive little endless lobbies.

There's the GafEuroBrawlers account on XBL so there are some euros there but I have no idea whether there are any euro gaffers playing on PSN. It'd be nice, though. Beating up really poor Ryus tends to make you go on autopilot.

Yes it is.

Now, I'm no pro, far from it, but I hate this game with a passion when someone, who clearly sucks at the game, beats you. Getting beaten by some scrubby ass, turtle ass Akuma is the worst feeling in the world. Blanka and T.Hawk players can eat dick in the ninth circle of Hell for all eternity.

Problem with the game is screwed matchups, otherwise fairly good balance but those matchups are ridiculous ie : Dud vs Honda, sim vs cammy.
