I'm ParryAll at SRK, I've been a member for 5 years and yes, we are all dicks there. Me included.
When I read a grumpy text I'm going to start being like, damn these grumpy old 00ers.
Anyway. Use SRK as a resource for knowledge, the people there are unforgiving and the overall vibe is very hateful.

I added the "try" in afterwords for modesty's sake; couldn't show the high-horse of GAF I was riding on right after ranting about internet stereotypes.Hitokage said:

i honestly dont run into the seedy parts of town you guys are talkin about, though; i stick to character specific where people are tryin to help each other understand.

Edit: wait, even "known" players are putting them down? That's some high level asshole play right there. And they ain't learn it in Japan.

There's a large majority on SRK that flame, brag and post nonsense revolved around the belief that they are skilled. It's more like fabricated elitism.
I only really post in a section of the forum dedicated to a lower tiered character, so the elated douchbaggery isn't as apparent.
Actually, from what I've seen from lurking is that either they're extremely helpful guys who're willing to put time and effort towards helping people learn and get better with characters and the game as a whole, while the other half are just really really spiteful people.Arpharmd B said:

Ninja please. As someone who has posted there for at least 7 years (and probably lurked since the get go), I guess the "appearance" is there a lot of blacks on the forum. Doesn't excuse the use of the N bomb, but in some regions, that word is used as extensively as you (I'm looking at New Yawk and the South). Like I hear Sabin, Yep (sp), Justin and others say it.
And the videos were hilarious. I like the Claw mod.
I decided to switch out sticks and am now using the Madcatz SE (SE for Seimitsu). It seems to handle a little better than the EX2. I just wish it only had the six face buttons on the face.
Also RE: the PC. It is hella laggy. I have a Q6600, 6GB of Ram and a 4890 and locally, the game maintains 60fps, 4X AA, High Self Shadow, etc. But certain Live -ers are just ugh.
I might head back to console once the ridiculous slide show is done on my new TV.

Everyone I know who is into fighting games are either black or Asian. Some are hispanic, and very few are white. Funny huh.
When you look at the "famous" faces, it does appear that they are black, hispanic or Asian. Marn, Wong, Sabin, Gootecks, Combofiend, Mike Ross, Ed Ma, Alex Valle, John Choi...
The white man is too busy making money to bother with these dem video games.

Like I said, he says he competes in Dallas tournies but I've never seen or heard of the guy. And I know just about everyone here haha.
Jesus I love when the inputs say I did the motion for a move perfectly and it doesn't come out. I'm trying to do 100 fireballs in a row from each side every day. Do I count that as a miss and start from #1 again? I was at like 60. This happens a lot with ultra too. Fuck this.

Yeah, I'm Puerto Rican, my best friend and only fellow fighting game fanatic, is black. 'Course we grew up together in the South Bronx so I think demographics had something to do with it.

Really? Turtle's dope with the advice, same with Farms. Haunts is mad chill. LakeEarth is always dope. Haven't really seen people being all high and mighty here to be honest. Oichi pissed me off for a hot second when I was talking daigo/wong but that was like one in a million. Serious, peeps here will give you tips and talk strats no problem.

Well, sorry to hear that. But there's a badass Ken user that posts here, Maxmillian if I remember correctly. Pm him if you can. And eventually switch to Gen as I can talk about him all day!

GEN! You'll love him! His name rhymes with Ken even!
He crosses me up constantly, and turns it into a guessing game of whether he's gonna finish his block string or kara throw. I figured out that a late ryu cr mk beats all kens jump ins. If lag isn't bad I'll make him eat 20% on each cross up. Too bad I still can't fadc ultaLakeEarth said:

Remember you can waggle out anti crossup srk's if it's an attempt while your knocked down. mash df and db until you wakeup then press a punch (usually fp.)
Can I enter gaf ken fighter 4 tourney?
BTW, next thing I run, do you guys wanna do a tourney or ranbat?
The problem with youtube videos is that they (presumably) don't help you with the controller timing. I can see the symbols, and I can see the combo results maybe, but knowing how to do it is a different matter.
For instance, I'm trying to at least learn Guile's moves, since he seems like a simple character. I'm currently trying the keyboard (I switch back and forth between that and 360 pad). I'm trying to hold down-left for like four seconds, then let go and hit rapidly down-right, down-left, up-right (hitting kick simultaneously with the up-right press). That seems to sometimes do a double-flash kick if the enemy is on my right.
The problem is, sometimes I can do it three times in a row, sometimes it takes me forever to do it. I've tried different fingers, etc. Does anyone have suggestions for doing the motion, or figuring out the timing etc.?
And likewise with the combo, say one of the simple combos: crouching medium-punch, followed by double flash kick. I apparently managed to do it once or twice to beat the challenge, but I can't seem to repeat it now. I can sometimes do a flash kick if I wait until the neutral stance again, but obviously I need to find the right timing block to initiate it otherwise (once I learn to do it reliably).
I have noticed that when combos involve air moves, the air moves can be slower in sequence, and you need to wait until the player actually hits the ground (dust cloud) until you initiate ground sequences...and those ground sequences apparently need to be really fast.

Ryus who think they're masking who they're picking by moving the character select thing around like a manic monkey are funny. 90% of the time if someone does that, they pick Ryu.
GAF, I am so embarrassed.
I watch streams of tournaments, I read this thread like nothing else, I have done almost all the Hard Trials, etcetc. I've played others online at times and have a decent time and hold my own playing people far better than I am.
My little brother can beat me cleanly. WTF. My Abel can't touch his Balrog. And I'm getting so pissed off The sweep is so fast, the dash punches so safe, the mixup of low/high upper. THAT HEADBUTT THAT FUCKING HEADBUTT gets me every time. And that's just easy Ultra's. THOSE JABS THOSE DAMN JABS beat everything I throw at him - including tornado throws. Apparently EX Headbutt beats EX TT too. His pokes outrange, outprioritise, and outdamage anything Abel has.
...I just feel so demoralised My Abel can rip apart all his other characters, but can't touch his Balrog at all.
Is the matchup really that bad or do I need more experience in the matchup?
Help me, GAF!

If he is throwing excessive sweeps or dash punches simply hit him with a level 2 or 3 Focus Attack.
Generally speaking its best to just block low and look for throws. The overhead is so slow you should be able to block it on reaction.

cross balrog up LOTS.
abels got that annoyingly easy to land crossup kick to launch elbow -> ultra that I ALWAYS fall for. Do that to balrog and stay away from those shitty jabs

No way dude, Dan disagrees. He does complain about Akuma however:LakeEarth said:
I played some dude on srk today and he didn't win a match with his main but he demolished me with balrog. I can't punish anything that he does except headbutt and rare was a headbutt that wasn't hit confirmed. Dude was safe all day every day. I have no clue what to do. Should I throw out random pokes to try and stuff his shit daigo vs wong style? The only round I won I had to stuff his ultra with a perfectly timed jab to escape death.

Yeah. Really, really hate Boxer. Ugh. He seems to own Abel as well from what matches I've seen and from my own experience. As Gen I throw out standing FP (ppp style) to beat his straight dash. That may work for a bit till they get wise. Otherwise I just try to keep moving, hopefully baiting a headbut, and cross up when I can. But yeah, hate him. Mostly defensive, annoying block strings, strong as hell and those fucking crouching jabs. Ugh.
