Goodness, I've been accused of something a few times in the PC version recently. Funny thing is that the basis for the accusation doesn't really even fit. I played a Gouken for the 2nd time, I beat him in the first set. He wins the 1st round easily and it starts getting laggy and he accuses me of lag switch before realizing it was his roommate hogging all the bandwidth.
Then I have this Ken player that I've come across many times. We split the first 2 rounds and I start off with a small lead and when the game ends abruptly he sends me a message saying why did I quit and I'm a bitch. We're not on each others friends list but we've played each other frequently because our BP are close. I figured he would know better since we've traded wins and losses plenty of times and I have a 0% dc rate.
So basically, can people chill with the accusations unless it's really apparent. But even in that case, try and hear out the other person before making up your mind. I offered the Ken player a rematch, even if that meant looking for him in rank. Unfortunately he never responded(maybe he was offline).

Why are you telling us to chill. I really doubt anyone here does what you are even saying.Rice-Eater said:

cheapocrespo's probably the best Fuerte I've played. We had a ft10 a few months ago and he took the first 7 games in a row. Thankfully I ended up not getting completely destroyed and ended up winning 5 before he got to 10.
But yeah, dude's solid.

You misunderstood me, it's more a rant and not me trying to teach the people here some kind lesson. Basically it's me saying "Damn it, why are people like this. They shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly and should try handling it this way".

So I played about 6 matches with this dude on Live yesterday, and basically beasted with my Bison. In the third round, I choose Ms. Thunderthighs, and he choose Seth and beat me (he played one of those annoying keep away Seths, but the game was 2-3).
My Bison, of course beat his Seth though. 2 rounds later, I choose Chun again and he choose Seth and beat me 0-3 then quit. I typically do well against Seth with my Chun (especially compared to my Bison), but I was a bit off yesterday. But what made the whole thing funny is that he taunted nearly half our fight after having been nearly perfected each round by my Bison. Whatever makes him happy I guess.

Some players do that to try and mess with the heads of there opponents, and it does work sometimes work sometimes. Some people may lose focus because the taunt pisses them off, especially when they're clearly winning the match and feel insulted by it.
The funny thing is that some guy taunted me after dizzying me while still having 100% of his health. He puts me down to like 10% or so but then I come back and start combo'ing his ass left and right and dizzy him and finish with Ultra. And I was playing Ken so finishing with Ken's Ultra made it even sweeter :lol
Even though jumping is absolutely a part of footsies, i've been a little hesitant to talk about it because i believe the ground game has to come first. But crossups are a major part of offensive footsies so i think this is a good time to look into some reliable ways of setting them up.

Hopefully everything's explained clearly but i added a few notes at the end too.

Just watched your matches against Ed Ma. You're amazing man. I'm a Rufus player, who decided to learn Ken a couple weeks ago, just from watching your videos against Haunts, Filipino Champ and Valle. I just thought to let you know that you're like my inspiration for learning/grinding with Ken and hopefully one day I can play you on equal footing with him. Keep up the good work man.
tl;dr
I worship the ground you walk on. Good shit.
I need to test out my Guile against some of you here soon. I've been getting better with him beating some G1-A's on a regular basis but losing to some absolute scrubs who are worse than flowchart kens. Ugh.
Feel free to add me on PSN: Pctx as I want to start gaming with the gaffers.

Wow, let us know how he placed - some things he's messing up a bit that I can see that the top players will punish him greatly for, but hell, he can FADC into Ultra already.
And at such a young learning age, if he keeps at it, he can turn into a beast in no time, especially with the comp in Japan.

Speaking of Young-ins, I was watching LA Riots II and I had never seen Jayce the Ace (sp) before. He's such a young kid, and he was battling against people double his age.
And this Japanese kid, if he levels up at the arcades, should be a force to reckon with.
Man, I haven't played this game in more than two weeks. I've been knee-deep in a class but I do watch the streams.

I know you all are joking, but the more I watch this kid play, the more I'd have never guessed that he's so young - he's even doing links and zoning and everything...
For real - in the environment he's in, I can see him becoming Daigo 2 for real.
Someone should fly him in to the US/Europe just for kicks in a year if he keeps playing Street Fighter just to see how he can do against the rest of the world!
No clue, but impressive if so, never knew that...

Kid seems to be pretty good.
But with the way some of you talk, you'd think he was 5 and not 13. 13-year-olds being good at video games isn't all that uncommon.

Yeah I think the best rockband (or was it guitar hero?) player is 13 or something like that.
Also being good when you're young just means you reach your full potential at a younger age. It doesn't mean you have a higher skill peak. Daigo was the best at Alpha 3 and Darkstalkers when he was like what, 16? But while being a perennial top player, he has yet to be the best player at any game since then.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm sure the kid will be a monster.

Personal theory is that as you grow older your reactions start to fade but your execution might go up. Like for me, well long long ago I could anti air anything on reaction with Cammy, in multiple games, now well not so much lol.
Man I feel old now.

Could you give a link to his youtube profile so we may also enjoy these fruits?
And Find, I'd say in this current climate of no absolute steamrolling player like Tomo Ohiro, I'd say Daigo is probably the best SFIV player in the world. He won SB4, Evo and the "World" championships last year in the USA. He's like #3 in BP and can beat Mago, Oijisan, etc. Japan is so random. Players don't really get a chance to warm up. Considering the weird Japanese rules and the incredible skill level of the local players, Daigo is not wholly dominating in that scene but could easily be the top player.

Tough crowd. No respect for Shine, Daigo, Valle, Sanford, 13-year-old Japanese kids, Jayce The Ace (SP), Ryu players, Sagat players, Boxer players, etc, etc.
I can't play Viper, so i think the kid did a good job. Did he got entered into LA Riots II because of how he did at Bar Fights II? And Shizza is probably the best Chun on the West Coast (or maybe not, as Ortiz and ROM are both pretty good too). And the Keno EYE!!

GGs Time. I appreciate you taking a break from whatever game you were playing. Your Ryu is good. I had a lot of problems with him when I picked Honda (who I'm not really good with) and Dictator. I need to learn to deal with the Ryu footsie/pressure.
Also, LOL on the randoms.

Don't be, it was all fun. I really don't know how to play with him, so I merely chucked tigers and threw out standing roundhouse. Like I said, your Ryu beasted on my secondary characters (Honda, Dictator, etc). You were a good sport in humoring me in randoms.
And Maxi is such a beast. I'ma check out the vids tomorrow.
