thats weird. just go into championship mode and let it search for "grade" and you should find plenty. dont forget to refresh your list if you cant find good connections.

I don't know. I like to use naked LK spiral arrow to bait opponents. The recovery time on it is pretty decent and it doesn't travel anywhere near as far as MK/HK so you can easily make people think you're going full screen and have them DP or Throw and then punish that.

gen looks scary. I sort of like it that ken/ryu are so popular. because then you occasionally come across something like this and realise you need to learn the game all over again :lol
I love SFIV it hurts so bad that my shitty ex2 sticks broke on the same weekend, the SE editions for 360 are sold out and my parts from lizard lick are about 2 months behind on back orders.
I WILL not start learning with a standard x360 pad. EVER.

Go to Player Data (or whatever it's called), there is a new option called championship mode that lists your highest CP per bracket and also how many times you won first/second place. Press A (or X for PS3) and it will list the results of your last 30 championship tournys. Pretty cool. It shows you the gamertag/character/CP of the people you beat or lost to.Timedog said:
As you probably have guessed, first half and second half are easy: the problem lies in the FA.prodystopian said:
What you want is a lvl2 FA, and for that you need to get the timing right: train chaining the EX kikoken to a FA.2, and above all don't try and mash it! You need to release the buttons as soon as you see the flashing aura meaning your FA is ready for a crumple!
The flying combo to ultra should be easy business.
Godspeed! ^^

I am Korean.
Not a lot of middle ground in G2. Either I get smashed, or I'll end up fighting a flowchart shoto (who invariably has more points them me somehow) who then calls me a "NooB" after I knee them in the crotch 50x while they try to jump in.
Also fought a Boxer who refused to ever move forward. Spent the entire match jumping fireballs and crouching. (The crouching I kinda understood except they never did a single headbutt...)

OK, the way you describe the TK strike tactic makes much more sense to me now.FindMyFarms said:
I have faith in her but winning against turtles requires a style of play I really don't enjoy. She may be able to beat them with a lot of work but fuck, I am not playing this game to work. I am playing it to kick dudes in the face until they're knocked out. I'd like to be able to do that without spending 75% of the match dancing around, hoping a turtle falls for the bait.
Yeah, I use it to bait too but it's gotten me hurt a few times. The move just isn't safe on block, which is the big problem with Cammy specials.myDingling said:

How do I chain them? I've gotten the FA to hit, but I can't seem to get the kick to connect after that. Do I need to do any dashing?

*laughs* You and me both. I play a lot of fighting games, and for me, personally, I've never had to change my tactics so much for any of my 3 favorite characters. I don't like to settle into the way most people play anyway (to my detriment), but you almost have to conform to play well with Cammy.

G1 is 15000 GP I think. Usually you get about 105GP if you win in G2. I think the most I've gotten is 106 or 108 GPs.Timedog said:I finally got to G2 and won my first ever G2 tournament! But I only got 104 gp
where can I find the list of how many gp it takes to level up?

I'll see if I can have the video up by tomorrow. And it might me kinda short...maybe around 4 or 5 minutes since I never got around to getting a new memory stick for my digital camera. But Imma try make it as detailed as possible....or get a new memory stick...whichever comes first
the comp in g2 is awesome. I've only had 1 super bad matchup where I perfected and almost perfected 2nd round out of about 30 matches. Hard to find openings to play offensively though cause you get punished so much.

MicVlad, I spotted your replay against that Sagat. Pretty awesome stuff. Good job. I've been having some problems against that one sometimes.
If I were to run a new online tourney for GAF would there be interest?
Here's an idea I was toying with.
*The tourney is run as a one-day event. It will be like you are going to a real tourney. Everybody gathers together on the same day for the entire tourney matches. Here's the sequence of events I envision:
1)Everybody would be required to have access to a chat program designated by the organizer (this case me). This chat program will be the equivalent of everybody arriving at the tourney and entering the event room. It will be used to communicate with the organizer (to get your matches and report results) and to talk smack/chat/recap with other players, just like milling around in the event room between matches.
2) Like a real tourney there will be a pre-registration timeframe before the tourney starts. All players arrive in the chat room and report to the organizer.
3) The organizer makes the bracket using tourney software and posts a pic of the bracket for all players to see.
4) All players go to round 1 matches. Players use the chat software to talk between each other if they are not already online on the console's network to say "hey, I'm turning my system on, send me an invite", etc.
5) All players report results in the chat room to organizer as matches finish and then they are free to mill around until the next round.
6) Once all matches are finished and reported, an updated pic of the bracket is displayed.
7) All players go to round 2.
8) Rinse and repeat until finished.
The benefits of this:
*The tourney is done in one day. It will be something like a real tourney, only without being there live.
*Becasue you are not there live, you can play in your underwear. I don't care. No webcams allowed.
*The chat program allows for not only instant communication between players and between players and organizer, but it will be a great way to chat it up with all the other players between matches for fun.
*Between matches you can do whatever you want. minimize and browse the net, play other games, feed your cat, I don't care.
Just throwing it out there. I have a lot of free time to think about random stuff at work and thought this could work well for an online tourney.
Edit: No disrespect to TurtleSnatcher with this post intended. I played in the SF2 HD Remix tourney GAF had and it was horribly, horribly slow. You did your part and it was up to the players. I don't even know if the HD Remix one even ever finished. :lol

why didn't I advance to G2 with that win? I don't understand the point system. I thought that CP were acquired by beating opponents and added to the total pot for the winner to take in the form of GP. But my GP fluctuates wildly and is seemingly random. I thought someone said you needed 2k GP to get into G2, but here I just won a tournament that gave me 4k CP, but for what? I've won the tournament why give me more CP? And only give me 90 GP? blarrg. This system is either fucked up or overly complicated.
edit: THE FUCK now it says the previous match didn't conclude properly and I have to start over. ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Just so you know, Ploid and I are already running a GAF 3on3 team tourney on PSN. We use the PSN chat program. Are you trying to start an xbl or psn tourney? If PSN, you'd have a lot of willing participants(including myself), you'd just have to wait until this tourney is over.
The only difference between your tourney and the one we got going is every1 getting together at one time. Due to schedules,work, and differing timezones it's kind of hard to do. Maybe if the time and date was determined about 2 weeks ahead of time though we'd be able to get everyone together at one time, but still a big if.
Timedog said:
I mean realtime chat, not a message forum. Sorry for confusion.
FindMyFarms said:
I didn't know that.
I know that differing timezones and schedules are a problem with something like this, but I thought the idea of a more realtime tourney might be worth bringing up.
Like I said, I just wanted to throw the idea out there.
Of course it would work best if we had this planned at LEAST 2 weeks prior to start so that the maximum number of people can find out about it and possibly make it.
EDIT: Oh yeah, just threw the idea out there. Didn't consider 360 or PSN. Would like to do both if it worked well. One at a time though of course.
I thought it would be a cool option though... (shrug)

Does anyone know wtf CP are for? Winning that tourney with 10 CP he should have gotten ~90GP, no?
I can't seem to reverse engineer a formula for it.

prodystopian said:
CP just determines if you can upload a replay and that's it as far as I can tell. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.
In order to upload a replay, you have to break your previous cp high score. So if you upload a replay after winning a tourney and getting 20k cp, you won't be able to upload another replay until winning a tourney with more than 20k cp. Keep in mind your cp resets after each tourney.

I dunno, G2 challenge is kinda fading for me. When I use one of my mains, anyway. At 5000gp, I think I still have a ways until I get to G1

GG Rummy Bunnz! Your Cammy was SUBERB!
I've seen you around many times earlier but I've always assumed it would be too laggy to play since I'm from Finland and usually there a lot of lag with US players. Luckily there wasn't that much latency so I think we will play again if I'll find you.
Also even if you break your CP record, it doesn't mean that you can upload a replay. You have to break your own record and be in the top5000 CP leaderboard. Then it offers the option to upload a replay. Or at least it should. I have had one case when it didn't work.

CP also effects on the amount of GP you will get from a tourney. The more you have CPs, the more you will get GPs. Although there isn't that much difference. Maybe in the G3 there is a bigger difference, but in G2 you get almost the same amount with 40k and 50k.FindMyFarms said:

She was amazing. The way she kept throwing out random specials and got punched out of the air thirty times and OH GOD there was so much shame. Stop beating me, GAF dudes!Rocky_Balboa said:GG Rummy Bunnz! Your Cammy was SUBERB!
Finland rocks. It's gonna sound weak but there was some input lag on my end but it wasn't nearly enough to excuse my sad performance! So please come and pummel me again if I pop up. That goes for everyone! Unless you're gonna be a runaway Ryu. I've had enough of those today!
