That's why Sakura sucks.

Without meter maybe, but with meter she puts the fear of god in me.

Anyone up for some games, psn: Onslaughtdoa.

I have a announcement guys. For the first time in my life, I'm going to buy a book and plan on reading "most" of it. Depending how how good each section is, I may even read the entire thing. Like I said, I've never done such a thing before, some of you guys may consider that sad. But it just goes to show how much I love a certain franchise to do something like this for the first time in my life.

BTW, it's this one
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0811865002/?tag=neogaf0e-20

176 pages isn't a book, its a pamphlet!

that said, read some damned books man!

BTW, it's this one

I'm enjoying that book right now. Its a great read and has tons of artwork.

do it.

 

[MarkMan]

win or lose, the answer is the same "i dont even play this game! did you know i beat koreas best in tekken 6?"

lol!!

anyone ever get the impression that markman might be a serial streaker? he sure likes to show off his stick all over the world.

If you got it... flaunt it. <3


No really, I've been putting in work with my Boxer/Ryu... It's on like Donkey Kong Country II.

 

[Rice-Eater]

read some damned books man!

Sorry, that's not going to happen. I don't think I've read a book from beginning to end since High School

Thanks for the comment, I'm looking forward to it

do it.

Looks interesting, can't wait for the movie. Just playing, it sounds very interesting but I just can't see myself doing it. Reading a book is like work to me, unless I really adore the subject like SF in this instance, it'd just be a waste of money.

sorry i'm so bad

GGs dude. Those weren't bad, they were pretty darn close and intense. I figured the lag was eating your FADCs tho. I used to main Abel and his basic combos got really hard online.

 

[Riou]

I really need help with a vega combo. I just can't seem to do df Roundhouse into Scarlet terror. Do you need to the light/medium or round version of the scarlet terror? Need hints from any vega player.

Anyone up for a few matches on XBL?

Any kick version of the scarlet terror will work. It's all about getting the timing down. As soon as you input the df.RH move your stick/pad/whatever to db. Just before your opponent is going to hit the ground do the scarlet terror. Just get the timing/muscle memory down and it's simple.

Thanks a lot AZ Grey. Time to go to training and get the timing down. I was moving to db as soon as possible but i guess i was finishing scarlet terror too early.

GGs biggkidd32! That's a nice chun you have there!

 

[biggkidd32]

GGs Gutabo those games were pretty smooth I don't know why everyone talks about lag. You have a very solid Honda but for some reason I have a harder time fighting Seth. I'll get you next time.

 

[Kadey]

Hey, do you still post/visit the 1UP/NGR boards? I haven't been there since it went to shit a few years ago, but I remember there being a lot of SF players there. I know some have found their way here, but it'd be cool to throw it down with some of the OGs over XBL when SSF4 hits, if they're still posting.

I'm basically the only person there from way back. Most of them left because they don't get along with the staff. It doesn't matter because NGR as a whole suck anyway. Playing the computer on normal difficulty is more of a challenge.

The main board has some good players but less than a handful.
Haunts posts once in a blue moon and Crackfiend posts once in a dozen blue moons. I haven't seen him post since the Leguna thing. Of course Richard is there and is the best player on the staff. There are some good players on the blogging side but they don't have the mentality to post on the boards. You know how crazy it is and the reputation it has but that was back then.

A few things I've done in practice is getting some of the more simple customs down like a c.mp or c.mk into a rolling claw attack. After you get a hang of those, then you can go into the Leaping Kick (df.HK) combos into a EX Wall Dive. Get the hang of those and the Scarlet Terror stuff will come natural. You'll get a better idea with the c.mp/c.mk into rolling claw attacks. The Leaping Kicks are just extra practice.

Well, I don't really know, most of my championship mode games are one or two bar connections and I get no complaints whatsoever(well, some cursing sometimes, but not because of the lag ). Chun is always hard for Honda, getting in can be a pain in the ass. I think you don't know the seth matchup that well(or how I use him), with more games you'll be kicking his ass! Looking forward to play with you again soon!

bad matchup?

[Killa Sasa]

Since he seems to be getting better in the next one, I better ask now:

the hell do I do against a good Fuerte? Right now, I can do well until I get knocked down, and then it's GG. That motherfucker is irritating :lol

And I'm using Cammy for this, apparently it's a good matchup for her? lulz

If he knocks you down, c spike beats both of his splashes regardless of crossup, and instant dive kick will kill him if he does throw option.

Otherwise, just get on his ass, he can't do anything against divekick pressure. The thing with fuerte is he has some of the best offense, but also some of the worst defense, so who ever is attacking in the match is usually winning.

 

[Ledsen]

Sorry, that's not going to happen. I don't think I've read a book from beginning to end since High School

Dude, literature is for enjoying, exploring and educating yourself with throughout life, not for suffering through in high school! And it's never too late to start

Yeah, this is basically what happens. Whoever got knocked down first usually lost. I don't think I was delaying the Spike long enough because I would whiff or get stuffed on the crossup ones. Gotta get better at that auto correct control. What about Tortilla? I have trouble getting around it, I should probably hop in training mode and get a better idea of everything he has.

Also, great set AZ Greg. Cammy is not a fun matchup for Sim :lol. Outside of super, he just can't make her pay all the time. Once she gets in, I don't know how Sim is supposed to get her off. Plus the difference in damage input basically just makes Cammy's life bar represent what it costs to get in and go to work. Cammy eats up character with situational anti-air like Sim or weak AA altogether. That's why I was jumping like a lunatic, btw.

I don't know why I kept letting you out of the corner in the first few matches, that wasn't the most intelligent thing I've done

Still, you've got a crazy Sim to complement that Vega. I definitely learned that matchup better because of this set.

GGs.

Yeah, Cammy is tough. Once you got in I just had to pray for an execution error or sacrifice some damage and back dash or teleport, unless I was in the corner.

Does the cr.lp+lk throw tech option select not work against instant dive kick characters? I'm guessing that between your normal and a dive kick, if I'm doing the option select, I'll whiff the cr.lk and you'll be able to hit me with the dive kick right? Or I could just be screwing it up. :lol

No you were doing the OS right, and you're right about not doing the OS tech against TK Dive characters/Rufus. Just don't abuse OS against Cammy unless it's life or death, it's not worth it. Sometimes it's better to just eat a throw every once in a while. It doesn't help that Dhalsim's back dash is assy, I think I caught you with a Cannon Spike even on his backdash.

Also, I can see why they nerfed her Spike some in SSF4 - Spike FADC Spike is a scrubby ass combo for big damage :lol I got tagged by those in other matches today....now I know how it feels

[Corky]

what are you talking about? there is no problem finding games on PSN in europe.

Well, I thought I'd film this with my crappy cellphone, I'm not saying this is what it looks like for everybody ALL the time. This proves nothing except :

That I personally cant find games no matter how much I try. I've found a total of like 4 championship matches since I bought the game however this is understandable seeing as my rank is nonexistant.

What I dont understand is why I cant even get a single hit on player matches and ranked matches. If I had my 360 now I'd go in and film that and show that its not my connection ( 24mbs so that shouldnt be the problem )

Anyways

Here is the clip of me trying to find games on ps3, my mate could watch the clip but for me it said " the video is still being processed blablalabl "

I never really visited the boards at all, maybe I should check it out. I have no idea what goes on in there...or if there's a dedicated section for fighting games, SFIV, etc.

Go to your PS3 network settings and do the internet test, it will probably say NAT: 3 at the bottom and then say that NAT 3 will make some types of internet play unavailable.

 

[Adam Prime]

I don't get it. How can a person I play be so recklessly shitty, and then all of a sudden pull off (Ryu) c.MK > EX Fireball > FADC > Ultra?

Shenanigans?

:lol This is probably what players think when they play me. I play recklessly shitty, cannot even do a simple Tiger Shot, then I string off a Jump-in c.lk > c.lk > c.mp > Tiger Uppercut > FADC > Ultra.
I usually end up getting mad at myself for doing stuff like that because I'm so freaking inconsistent on the basics.


BTW thanks to those explaining Option Selects. My mind is BLOWN by the fact that you can block + tech throw! :lol :lol

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0811865002/?tag=neogaf0e-20

So far, it's ish (not the good type). There are some factual errors. The art is just lifted from Eternal Challenge, 20th Anniversary and Tribute. It's not even a real history. And it downplays the relevance of Yie Ar Kung Fu and Karate Champ...

It would've been cool to have staff and player pictures also. Interviews with Tomo, Alex Valle, J. Wong and a new school player would've been great (along with possibly Nemo, Daigo, etc). Though the writer seems to have an infinity for the game, the book is like whateva.

And I'm in the same boat as Corky when it comes to searching for games on PSN. Xbox is a totally different story. Not sure if it's a network or player (more on Live?) thing.

 

[YakiSOBA]

Question:

I see a lot of videos of ryu players who do a jump-in dragon kick crossup after securing a knockdown... how do they do it? Where do I stand and does it matter which (LK, MK, HK) I use?

thanks

anyone?

 

[Tokubetsu]

I feel terrible for disrupting all this technical talk but have they said what it is you'll get if you still own SFIV and buy SSFIV?

It's so weird, because you expect the other guy to do something and put yourself into a position to defend against it or counter it, then they twiddle their thumbs instead.

 

[GuardianE]

So I just bought this game really cheap so I could get some practice before Super hits. But MY GOD I'm having a hard time with those trials. Most moves and combos seem straight up impossible to me...
I have the Hori EX2 stick, and I've never used an arcade Stick to play a Fighter before, which is probably my problem.

I really want to get back into this, haven't played SF since the snes days, but MAN, I feel like this is gonna be a lot of work.

I'm doing the hard trials right now. We can share the frustration of this together. :lol

G1 is hardly any better either. Just started playing that again, since player matches is getting dry.

These days, my biggest enemy is lag...and when I lose it's mainly due to my idiocy with execution thanks to lagginess.
