Wow that thread has a bunch of clueless ass scrubs givin shit to the US players as if they're opinion is worth anything.
That is FUCKED up. Sucks that the US team had to suffer because of the T.O.'s incompetence.
edit - Also, in any competitive hobby, you can't call shit AFTER you lose. It's like in baseball, if an out at a base in the first inning, you don't bring that shit up after your team gets wrecked, you put it out THEN and THERE. They saw ART picking Dhalsim, but didnt' say anything until after they lost. No way that complaint should have been respected.

What I love about this community is all the delicious drama. Cue that TNT logo.

This is exactly the type of scrub I'm talking about. Hating for no damn reason. It's called running a tournament properly and not fucking over your competitors.

That fucking sucks, but man do I love the drama of Street Fighter. So much better then Football and MMA(the only two sports I watch). Not exactly something to build a rivalry or grudge from though. Those Japanese players aren't the Japanese players who are going to come to Evo next year.

It's unfortunate that some Japanese players are bringing up Pearl Harbor. All that's going to do is bring out atomic bomb comments from U.S. players and make everything uglier. I haven't read the SRK thread yet so that might have already happened actually.

I guess you Americans didn't learn from the ass wooping Diago gave you at evo. So maybe they'll teach you you're place at SBO. They'll send team justin back to America with japanese footprints all ever their faces after the first round.

The topic was about running a tourney right.
I don't think you understand the conversation, but it's ok, ESL classes are really cheap now a days.

Didn't that actually come from the 2chan forum and not the players themselves? If yes then it's no different then 4chan or the live chat during live streams where most of the people chatting are complete forums.
But if it did come straight from the players then that would be pretty pathetic.

This thread is making me laugh. And we're just talking about the five on five tourney, right?
Cuz I'm still rooting for Marn/Justin, Combofiend/Alex and Fubarduck/???.

Some dude from 2ch said "remember pearl harbor,hehe" on 2ch and Marn reciprocated with a picture of an atomic bomb.
Some random anonymous dude on an image board saying something like that and an an actual participant in the tourney replying with what Marn did are different things. I completely understand the frustration, but team US isn't doing itself any favors by acting the way it is over this. They got fucked over for sure, but they should just take the high road and concentrate on SBO since that's the tourney that actually matters. Pointing fingers and being petty isn't going to change what happened.

:lol Nice!
He had 4 posts. :lol
Comment for those Gil vs Iloveu Joe matches: a few missed anti-air TK, a few missed (and pretty obvious) Ultra on wakeup, especially when opponent moves wouldnt have hurt.
But not using BK that much is something to think about! She seems even less vulnerable to me that way, when she lands. Will think about that tactic.
About the American vs Japanese fight: at the EVO finals, I really have felt like that even tough Justin was really awesome, and he really should have won, the difference between mentality (like Daigo always sticking to his character, Wong switching, Daigo focusing only on the screen, Justin waking up after a won match, etc) showed to me that being really, really focused when you have to means a lot. And this is the only difference between the people, nothing more.
So when some troll comes in here, and taunts "americans", even if he really is Japanese, he throws away everything what is the finest Japanese player's good attribute - so, Faint Smile... epic fail?

Maybe I'm not searching properly, but I wasn't able to find anything.
Sorry if this has been asked already but are there any good websites/blogs/forums/wikis that are good resources for people new to SF4 or fighting games in general that give tips and advice on developing your skills for competitive play?

Check out their forums, they have tons of stuff and actual tournament players that post there.
I usually recommend these websites for new players instead of SRK.Zozobra said:

Well hell, check it out anyway...can't hurt!
Man, that's pretty messed up with what happened with the US team - especially when it sounds like they wouldn't have said a thing had Arturo lost...
And even still, the most they should have done was to restart from where Arturo came on, NOT the whole thing from scratch - that's dirty as hell right there.

Sorry, I'm late. My sis had a fit and took her laptop and the modem. I had a feeling you had the arcade stick, those srk's came out so fast. You just had me the whole time. Yeah, you kept punishing me when I was trying to get up, I didn't know what to do.
Thanks for the advice. And you in Washington state? The signal was low but I didn't really notice any lag. I'm in Florida.

There's fault/blame on all sides. No sense to whine about it. Just get ready for the real tournament.

Ugh, this is really frustrating trying to get EX Seismo > HJC > Burning Kick consistently on a stick. I was doing great this morning but it seems like it's slipping away from me. :lol
Still a fairly new player with stick but everything else is good. Got through her first hard trial but I took a break for now. Some tips on how to get her BnB consistently would be a great help.

Could have just been mis-communication. After all, none of the US players speak Japanese. I'd like to hear an explanation that doesn't come from either Marn or Arturo.

On a side note...everyone should watch this amazing E Honda mirror match:

Ah, you're right, my mistake. See what happens with miscommunication?
Timedog said:
True - and really if you think about it, restarting the whole thing even when official team members played, and even changing order after seeing how the comp plays is a real bitch move - luckily this tournament is nothing important, but that is extremely poor on whoever was running the tournament's part...
Oh well, it's done, the real deal is tomorrow - hopefully what went down lights a fire under their ass - I want to see serious skill at SBO from the US because of this...

I urge everyone, not just Honda users like myself, but EVERYONE to watch this fight - the suspense in the first round was killer.

oh shit, you're gnizzle858? I thought that was some random from SRK that added me on XBL. I'll play you soon, man.
I have some other dude with 858 in his gamertag. Is that some crew or area code or something?

SRK can be great to new members,if they can make their research and keep their mouths shut. :lol
SRK is both fantastic and inane,since it's a weird mix of crazy elitists,pricks,normal and cool folks,scrubs/newbies.
Newbies are usually trashed by the elitists,but some of them are actually quite cool and accepted by the SRK community.
Best thing as a newbie is lurking in the character specific threads.
Posting in fighting game general or general SF IV is asking for being neg bombed. :lol
