HAHA Juicebox was so fucking chill at Level Up. Cool guy. He was yelling out Abel shit and acting out some taunts. Combofiend did his Abel ultra re-enactment during top 8 against Juicebox then lost after the ultra failed to kill him. :'(
I just picked up Sakura and Abel so if anyone's down to play some - PSN: GalacticAE.

LOL, was that a compliment? I don't really play with ryu or seth(or dhalsim), I'm just starting to use them against people, usually I only use Honda :SHitokage said:
Also lag was sometimes a bummer, I had my bro and her girlfriend here watching youtube like their lives depended on it, I could play later without that problem.
Ok, I'll take it as a compliment thenHitokage said:It means you were playing spastic, random, and unorthodox.
Yeah, I was switching from piano to slide for honda's hands all the time thinking that I wasn't doing them properly, when I realized the youtube thing :s Liek I said, we can still play later. If you don't mind, next time I want to use seth more, I like his combos but I know nothing about his matchups. I remember I escaped one of chun li's ultras with him, and I walked forward to punish and only then I realized how slow his walk is, lol. Of course, I couldn't punish you at all, lol.Hitokage said:Yeah, a lot of combos got eaten by lag.

Juicebox is the best Abel in NA IMO.
I think once when I failed to do the dash part of my dash ultra correctly you jumped backwards then towards me again only to eat her launcher kick. :lolgutabo said:Ok, I'll take it as a compliment then

GG's tonight Galactic, glad I hopped on PSN for a while. Haven't done a long set with ya in a while :lol that Rog is still insane (and he robbed my Ken )
I don't know what the hell was wrong with my Cammy, normally I'm a lot better with her than I played but I guess it just didn't click with her tonight. My Ken is based on pure shenanigans, I try to have a game plan with Cammy though but I just kept stalling. I think your reads and the fact that you mixed it up more than most did me in.
Still a helluva lot of fun, had me thinking hard about how to approach you since there's no real set plan against Ryu.

ok , ok
so
in the olden days,
Vega = Dictator = bad guy with cape
M.Bison = Boxer = eerr boxer
Balrog = Claw = man with claws
But M.Bison was too close of a name to Mike Tyson so they switched it around.
Then how come they brought Balrog / Claw into the mix?
Why didnt they just call boxer -> Vega and bad dude with cape for M.Bison?
All these questions

These are the original Japanese names, that are still used now. It was only in the West they switched them around and still do. Originally, as you say, because M.Bison = Mike Tyson.Corky said:
I'm guessing they changed Balrog to Vega because "Vega" didn't sound very much like a rough street Boxer but was more suitable for an effeminate Spanish bull fighter. They probably left Sagat out of the mix-up since he was already established in SF1.
IMO, Vega is a better name than Balrog for Claw, but M.Bison for Vega (Dictator) is kinda dumb.
Then there's Gouki/Akuma. :-?

I beat a G1-B and G1-C Boxer with Cammy last night, I feel good, yeah!!!
Lyte - I played a G1 person who was 14,100 points the other night. I destroyed him, but felt kinda bad for him (not really, he used Ryu)

edit: then he lost.

My shoto couldn't handle your Ken rushdown. It was too awesome. I just couldn't make the right decisions on time or at all. You seemed to utilize all of his strong points very well and you definitely got the better of me. I'd like to run those matches again when we get the chance to play together on PSN.
Cammy/Ryu matchup is still a bit of a mystery to me me since I don't really have a Cammy player where I live. I tried not to get predictable with fireballs but it seemed you were able to bypass them on reaction. Plus, you danced around your maximum jump in range within pixels it seemed. I played around with the focus attack a lot and it seems pretty useful in that matchup depending on the timing of your specials.
Fun stuff though and I still feel you're an extremely solid player who I can learn from. So let's play again.

They tweaked his far standing HK, and this Ultra 2 is garnering lots of criticism.

Used by a knocked down Akuma on his wakeup? Wouldn't most people opt for teleport instead, or even wakeup dp? It seems like a reversal ultra2 on wakeup would be mostly guesswork with a lot of risk.Hitokage said:
Or do you mean it would be used by Akuma trying to pressure a knocked down opponent on the opponent's wakeup?
