Those guys must not have jobs? :|

I'm sitting here in the office :(

I find Akumas trying to pull off his Super/Ulra and whiffing them to be hilarious.. Jab, Jab, short.... nothing.. Jab, Jab, Short.. nothing
ahahahaa

I love it when I'm playing an Akuma and it's a fairly tight match and his super comes up and all of a sudden he jumps back and starts jabbing. It's like WTF dude. I've stolen so many matches that way. IDK wtf it is about that move.

What's fun is to call a few Gamestops, then a few Game Crazy's, then a big box store. They all have something different to say.

The import store that I go to usually get's games in the previous Thursday before they're street dated. Not with this game though. :(
Probably since it wasn't street dated.. seeing how street dated titles ship almost a week in advance.

I've had the game since Friday.. so I'm only taking 1 day off this week. Unfortunately my job doesn't have presidents day off..

I think you really need to sprinkle something in about "Playing to Win". New players calling something cheap, or dishonorable, or whatever is perhaps the biggest roadblock there is to getting better.

Fantastic point. I'll do that.

You can kara-cancel any normal with any special or super, it's just a matter of whether it actually does anything (i.e. push you forwards or backwards).

Likely an error, but BestBuy.com is saying that SFIV is available now for in-store pickup near me. I ordered it, let's see if they actually have it! (probably not)

lol, I just beat him with blanka. Hes not that good.
I was consistently beating him with Vega the other day.

He was yelling over the mic that Vega was too fast and cheap because I could flip over his ultras.


Pretty sure you can fireball Akuma out of his ultra/super.. Almost positive but maybe I was hit by a head butt from a Honda yesterday and I'm getting it confused..

Usually I just jump back and HK and smack his head and he stops :p

Says all the Best Buys near me have it available for in store pickup too. I'm going to go stop over after work.

does any of the characters play like Remy from SF 3 TS? I am just wondering because I just became extremely good with him, with zoning and having 6 parries against in one round against a fairly good Akuma player in the game...
 
Marty Chinn said:
Why would there be a problem? Do you have SF4 and you're experiencing issues it? I'm curious since that's the stick that I plan to use.
VSHG had problems with T5DR:O.
I'm just curious.

Oh that was you Blanka is my favorite character. How do you feel he is in this game?
Well, I don't know if you know already, but the godly bite is gone :(. It barely does any damage, but aside from that, you should feel right at home with him, just like SF2THD or any other one and he's beastlier(lol, is that a word?) than ever.

lol, yea when you stop his spamming, he start going crazy with the dragon punch, that's why everytime he misses I just grab him and wait for him to do it again. That ultra that he got on me was BS though. :lol

Well Remy is technically a weird variant of Guile, so I'd say Guile would fit your style.

LMAO my Standard Edition stick just showed up on my doorstep from B&N after I went and ordered an HRAP3 EX. Guess I'm stuck with two awesome sticks.
Did B&N send you that e-mail about the item being backordered and having to wait 14 days or did you order before that? I'm very disappointed with B&N and Amazon. I haven't received an e-mail from B&N about my SE FightStick and haven't heard anything from Amazon about my TE FightStick. I guess I'll be playing SFIV tomorrow with my DS3. :cry:

Even as a scroto, I find that stream pretty boring.

My main Street Fighter exposure was playing HD Remix for a week during Christmas break (played SF2 Turbo a little on the SNES as a kid, but that doesn't really count) and I feel I could beat the people in that stream handily.

Funny thing is, I got the 14 day delay email, then they shipped it out. It arrives tomorrow!

:lol @ Chun Li hands.

I'll end up in the Scroto group, but hopefully I'll seperate myself from the pack with practice. I really like Ken's game as opposed to Ryu's. =(

So B&N sent you an e-mail saying they shipped your SE FightStick out? WHY HAVEN'T THEY SHIPPED MINE OUT? I chose one day shipping. Unless they shipped it out and haven't gave me a tracking number yet. Unlikely though.
