God dammmnnn that's a lot of street fighter 4 lol. It's funny though, because watching the stream, I went from really wanting to play sf4, to getting sick of the game all in one sitting haha.

I get the same way when I have a long session. Like I'll play Grifter or AZ Greg or someone for 50 straight games and be like "ok, taking a break from this game for a while, I'm getting sick of it." Then the next day or so I come in this thread or go on SRK or something and see something that makes me want to play :lol

Hey, my match is in here at 1:14. *watches* :lol Good times. Hey, at least I won a round. A single round. :(

Oh well, it was fun. Thanks again Haunts.

I'm at 2:13.

I really didn't expect him to keep throwing out unsafe dps :lol

At the end of my last match I thought for some reason that I had enough meter to fadc, dash forward, then dash back to bait a dp.

thats good to hear.. I didnt know if ustream just processed the videos so they look better than the actual stream or what.

i need to find out whats the minimum amount of bandwidth id need to do something like this... I think I could get away with it with like 3-4mbps upload but I dunno..

Dang, I wanted to play with you, on sunday I went to a local tourney and won! My crappy honda just speaks volumes about the local comp I guess. Then I got home and got the biggest crap from my wife and couldn't play anymore :(

I hope you do one again on xbl! Great stream!

Thanks! I was wondering about posting some facebook pictures of it but then I thought "maybe not". There's a peruvian facebook group named "the backyard" that's all about street fighter(and alex valle is a member, gogo peru!) and they run the tourney. I'll try to find footage/pics to post.

The stream was pretty smooth the whole way through for me.

I did back in the day with ST and stuff at the local arcade, but not recently, no. Was supposed to go to SB4 but I couldn't get the day off of work. Hopefully I'll be able to make it down to Tennessee for KiT in a few weeks.

You should go! I dunno if AZ Greg goes to tournies either but I think both of you guys will surprise yourself if you go to one.

Actually a lot of you guys from GAF are more than ready for tourney play imo if you were wondering.

Who here goes to tournies anyway? Farms, Fubar, Oichi, n3ss, Maj.. i know there are others..

Went through a best of 100 with a psn player named SuperDonkeyPunch. He's got marn tier viper, hitting trial 5 online as if it were nothing. Damn, that took 3 hours.

For my part... here in PR local tourney activity is dead. I just can't find any competent place. I was going to sign up for a BIG local tournament past November but college and work interfered and didn't sign up (PrScrub took second place there I think). I am on the lookout for more but that scene is either dead here or I don't know where to look for.

Kuroda is the man!

Ok I know the video is supposed to be about Kuroda, but holy shit at that Yun player doing 3 kara palms in a row like it's nothing(4 total when in gineijin). I don't really watch 3s videos so I don't know if that's considered impressive anymore, but it amazed the hell out of me. Kara palm alone is harder than anything you have to do in sf4 IMO.

Someone might've hax'd the pc version so you can change inputs for special moves or something. Otherwise, dunno.

That's pretty much what it is.

The scary thing is that the guy appears to be playing online (hence the black bars on player names)....

I don't wanna play SF4 PC online after that.

Kuroda actually kara palm'd 3 times in a row, IIRC, on one of the vids where he played as yun. I'm pretty sure it's still considered impressive and risky, though. When I was watching gamers vision ranbats, even the last few ones didn't have many yuns doing kara palms (that was a year ago, though).

Awesome stream. I was watching from the east and ended up staying awake until like 4am. Definitely made me get back into SF :D

I've gone to and won one here in my town, but there were only 8 people and they weren't exactly that great. I really have no excuse though. I live in SW AZ and am right in the middle of Phoenix and San Diego (About 2 and a half hours from both of them). I also have family who lives in the LA area and some who live a little closer to NorCal. Definitely gonna try and go to EVO next year just to spectate everything at the very least.

There was a tourney up in Tulsa, OK once. The Catch: It was at an anime convention *shudder*. Decided to pass, so I'm still a tourney virgin.

You play videogames and post on a video game message board. You aren't exactly on a different social plane than anime fans. Go, play and have fun!

Yeah, not everyone that plays games really wants to hang out with the typical convention goer, be it anime or game. Hell, I don't even like going to midnight launch events. I was gonna enter my local GameCrazy's Firefight tournament on ODST launch night, I took one step in the store, saw the people that were there for the tournament, turned around and drove right back home.

Or you could just, you know....be cool with everybody?

Who gives a shit what the people you are facing look like in a tournament? If you seriously drove home, then you have problems.

Word, I used to be weirded out and made fun of those people but then i realized, who cares. (especially since I have a booth at several large gaming events a year).
Not such a big deal. It's not like you're moving in with them.

You gotta admit though, some people are REALLY awkward :lol .

he's got a QCF sonic boom. Couple that with SB's faster recovery, he'd win any fireball war.

Sorry for not enjoying the prospect of spending 4 hours with obnoxious teenagers and adults who look like they haven't bathed or shaven in weeks?

I went to an anime convention once, while there were definitely some cool people, the game room makes me disagree with you wholeheartedly. I'm not sure what social plane I'm on, but it's for sure not the same one they're on.

And GG's Panda! Just ease up on the wake up neutral jumps (assuming your opponent punishes you for them.)

Today I decided that I'm really pissed at FindMyFarms for some reason. If you ever get over to Turtle's house and fight me over Live, I will break you.

anime con tournies, in my experiences, are typically run very bad and have the bottom of the barrel comp. I would avoid them personally.. >_>
