maybe dash(have'nt Sakura'ed in a minute), it might work but Gief grabs Fuerte/Abel from running/rolling away, even if you built the space inbetween. n. Jump probably works too.

pretty much most of the roster.
Abel's "competitive" cuz of his awesome Ultra, and damaging punishments.

Neutral jump works, it was probably the lag. He'll whiff the throw too, meaning you get a phat sakura combo

I didn't buy Modern Warfare 2 and I don't mind one bit. In fact, I almost feel delighted about that fact as there's so much to be annoyed about with the Call of Duty franchise in general.Arpharmd B said:
Have been playing Borderlands lately ever since it came out however, along with Halo 3: ODST occassionally instead of Street Fighter IV.
~Devil Trigger~ said:
Abel only has two good pokes - s.LK and F.MK
Everything else he has is too short range.
And his longest poke, s.LK, is shorter than Ryu's c.MK, so Ryu beats Abel in the poking department. If you play a good Ryu that has good footsies, you're pretty much dead as Abel unless you have meter (ex CoD is his best anti-poke in those situations).It's part of why Gief is such a bad matchup for him - s.MP stuffs EVERYTHING Abel has. Every. Single. Move. And he can't AA against well-placed j.MK either.
So Gief can get in against Abel for free.black_vegeta

I'll pick up MW2 this weekend, but it still won't take priority over my "INDEESTRUKTABLE!"
Hell, I have a decent backlog of "AAA" titles that have been put on hold ever since I got SF4. I can imagine when SSF4 comes out...dear Lord, I might as well sell all my games and just keep SF. Shit's like crack!

I play Modern Warfare 2 for the same reason I still play SFIV: there's a large community for it. And it's nice to play a console FPS that runs at 60fps.

Man, I miss this game. I wish my arcade stick would hurry up and get back to me.
Hopefully some of the regulars start to come back by next week when I have my stick back. I bought MW2 but am not really feeling it as much as I thought I would. Not a big fan of the new maps, compared to the original, and I think I got my fill of MW style gameplay with the original. SSF4 can't get here soon enough.

I've been playing gief a lot recently. Well, here's hoping he doesn't get totally nerfed in super.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention in my reply that GalacticAE, Amodf (he rarely posts here, but he's from dallas and was the other guy that beat magus1234 @ evo) Jon Lo and Fubar (SBO team) and perhaps turtlesnatcher should all be making an appearance.
Also a lot of good players that aren't too known on the national scale such as Jan (mainly known for GG but he ocv'd justin wong's team in SBO quals) and Vegita-x (guy that beat Daigo in team play at sb4.)

Shit, least you made it to G1. I quit cold turkey about 2-3 months now and haven't looked back. SSF4 will get me back quick fast though.Arpharmd B said:
I had another rant typed up about how obtaining this stick killed any enjoyment I had for the game, but I said screw it, might as well laugh it off :lol
I did genuinely think I wouldn't fuck things up today though...and I wind up fucking things up as bad as when I just got the stick. Thank god I had enough sense not to drop $190+ CDN on a TE stick though...i would really be kicking myself now :lol

Lost Fragment
Obsessed with 4chan
I randomly ran into Arturo in G1 a few nights ago and *barely* beat his Fuerte. I was was all like "fuck yeah...I can barely beat an alt of Sabin's in a single online match ...rationally I know that a single online match doesn't mean dick, but I'm gonna ignore that and feel good about myself anyway." Then I ran into him again last night and played his Ryu, and he shut me down more than anyone's shut me down in a long time.
Man, living in an area where there isn't a scene sucks

Beating a top 5 US player means something no matter how you did it.

Yes and no.
I've ran into a handful, maybe ten or so, of the top US players here and there. You can always tell, there is a right and wrong way to play this game, they play super safe and smart. It's almost a different game than the typical tactics you run into on a daily basis.
Everytime I play them I wish I could have more time to "level up", but. If you can stand toe to toe and or win a few times, that's definitely good. Give yourself a pat on the back.
However. By that same token don't let it fuel your ego crazy. Casuals are soo much different from tournament or money match. Not to mention Online casuals. And trust me, G1 or SG "Tournaments" is casual play. Maybe you can say to yourself, naw, I can keep my nerves down and handle the pressure IRL... it isn't even about that, it's just such a different beast. Not just in the way people play, but everything. When elimination is on the line, you can't afford to take risks and everyone plays safer and smarter. It can become a game of wills and pressure will lead to mistakes leads to your ass. Out. Better luck next time.
If this post seemed long and wordy it's cause seeing as how online is dead for this game, and I can't be making any trips to my Pittsburgh crew, I'm fucking bored lol.
Speaking of Sabin's Ryu yeah, he's the only dude I saw that can do the jab jab jab to c.HK links online, and he knows how to keep pressure without doing stupid risky shit. Fought him recently and it was a breath of fresh air from the usual cookie cutter garbage Ryu's you fight all day long online.
I have run into Arturo twice now and I've beaten his Ryu twice using the power of Sumo. First time was a final, second time was a semi so I even took a picture of it. I sent him a message thanking him for his tips and time on his SRK thread but he didn't reply. I'm thankful he didn't use Dhalsim!Arpharmd B said:
But yeah, it's not really that important. It sure felt good tho, pat on the back +1
I've run into Chris Hu either, but seems like he only plays 5 bar connections, so I'm screwed.

just saw this vid of Saqs tearing through Ryu in a loser bracket finals pop up on FADC youtube channel. Hits a couple pretty awesome combos.

Eh, online plays nothing like offline. I went 5-5 against someone online that usually runs 15-20 straight on me in person.
Not to mention most people are experimenting, sandbagging, and using a char they don't play while just generally not caring.
Also I've seen Buktooth (best fuerte in usa) lose to some absolute scrubs online while barely keeping a %50 win ratio.
It's just different.

Daigo would be dropping them forward fierce punch combos like crazy online :lol

some matches between the japanese vs korean players. I'm guessing these are warm-ups before the TV matches?

Damn, his Elf is all over the place. As Threi said, vicious ass RSF. He could go from one end of the screen to the other.
Good to see these top players use other characters besides their mains.

Pm me for the Ryu challenge song.
Well, at least I know there is something else I could beat Justin in. He plays pool too but I can safely say he can probably beat me in that.
I need help thinking of combo ideas for Vega. It's like he really doesn't have any. More idealistic is hits, featuring super or ultra and being flashy.
