Lovely stuff as always Maj.


So I decided to play with a stick again and realized how much I work I still need to put in. Problem is I don't have time for it. I wished I started playing with a stick years ago. Using a pad and a stick is night and day and whenever I switch back and forth it's like heaven and hell.

I feel the same way. I remember buying one of those Tekken 5 Special Editions with the Hori Cheap RAP knock-off. I was like, ugh, this joystick sucks. I remember playing with a similar stick back in 1992, and it felt difficult to wield.

But I'd agree with Daigo. American Sticks lack precision. As a weapon, they're like bats or machettes :)

But the Japanese Sanwa are like surgeon scalpels.

And Maj, that video was crazy. You're definitely showing character possibilities with these videos.

Thanks everyone. This shit is really burning me out but i gotta admit i'm enjoying the game more than i thought i would.

I'm sure you guys know, when you're trying to find combos (especially complicated ones), the first ten ideas don't work. Sometimes the eleventh is a compromise just to get something recorded. But other times, those ten failures lead you to a totally unexpected eleventh and it's really cool and motivating and rejuvenating.

So even though this is exhausting, so far i've been lucky that most of the elevenths have been the cool kind.

switching sticks can also cause an adjustment. I switched from my ragged custom to a TE stick last night- and it has been an adjustment. Not a huge one, but trying to get used to the smaller stick takes some work.

How much stun does that TAP do? I'd be extra heated if I got hit by one of those in a match, lol. Imagine that on Viper, or Seth.

I was kinda surprised by how hard it was to find player matches last night. I had to settle for a Balrog who kept dash punching into my focus attack.

I had the same experience last night. I just ended up hitting training mode all night, and finally played/finished Modern Warfare 2, meh.

Wow. As a Dhalsim player I'd like to say I'll try some of these, but there's no way in hell I ever could. :lol
That one combo against Cammy is totally reasonable. The other thing you should do is tap s.LK after anti-air LP super and whenever you do Yoga Flame xx LP super. That move hits on the fourth frame and it's stretchy so it should work anywhere against anyone. Free damage, right?

They actually have all that info listed here, for every single TAP stage: http://shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Balrog_(SFIV)

The stun's not that crazy but let's just say i wouldn't be trying to kill Seth if i was making a Balrog video.
 
Ive been noticing a lot of players playing Chun and being pretty proficent with her.
I always found charge chars so hard on a pad.. and it has pretty much pushed me away from every using a charge char on a pad.

Now I suddenly have interest and will play around with her tonight. DAMN YOU ALL!

One dude in that tournament that was streaming last night played Chun-Li on a pad. Shizza, I believe was his name. Got destroyed by Tatsu's Vega, but kicked Ume Shoryu's ass, who was using Ryu.

By the way, what is up with people calling Ryu "Roo"? Is this new, or has it been around for a long time? Either way, it's stupid and people should stop.

Thank Seth Killian for that....watch some Evo2k9 vids when he is commentating a mtach with Roo in it and hear him say it over and over and over again.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, that was the first time I heard his name proounced as Roo.

It's "Roo" because that's how it's properly pronounced, unlike you ignorant gaijin who keep calling it RYE-YOU.

Actually that would be REE-OO. I don't remember the last time I heard Ryu, Ken, or Akuma say "Sho-ROO-ken!"

If I were to spell it out phonetically either ree-oo or roo works for me. But I do know that Seth used to pronounce Ryu as Rye-you long before he worked at Capcom.

Good games. The match with Blanka was awesome. I guess you didn't remember how to block Blanka's ultra? :lol

Tonight I begin my crusade with Charge Chars on a pad!

That'll make your thumb raw for weeks. I don't know how people do it. On a side note, I've picked up on Vega to help content with Boxer players. Pull out random shit for wins. lol
 
I've been playing 3rd Strike a lot lately to prepare for the inevitable Makoto reveal and it has ruined mah Cammy skills.
Guess I gotta stick with Honda for the time being, XBL randoms are a pain though, SO MANY SAGATS :lol

I beat about 80% of the Sagats I face with Honda. Good Sagats who know how to kara will destroy Honda almost for free. the average XBL scrub Sagat is pretty easy- just calmly advance towards them, and use mixup to drive them nutty if you score a knockdown. Their jumping strong is the biggest threat they have against you.

I too beat about 80% of the scrubby XBL Sagats, they are just very annoying to fight. Basically they do 1 of 2 things:
1) TIGER TIGER TIGER! And if I get close they try to run away.
2) They are morons and they rush me and spam TU and TN.

They aren't necessarily hard to fight as they are annoying and boring I guess. I'm just askin' for a little variety :D
 
My 30 year old best friend calls him Roo. I never asked why. It's just an old school thing. Like mas sticks. Oldschool, son.

I call him Ree-you.

Basically it's like this. If you grew up in arcades, it's Roo or Re you. If you grew up at home on SNES or Genesis, you called him "Rie-You". I got a buddy in Pittsburgh who still calls him Rye-you, and the dudes like 21. Everyone gives him shit for it.

Oh and if you're uber nerdy, you call Yun "YOOOOON". God I fuckin hate that. Sorry it's Yun. Yuhhhn son.

I just realized tonight that every single character I'm in any way proficient with is low health. Thinking about picking up Honda or something.

anyone know how to EX seismo to dash?

You just super jump cancel the ex seismo recovery and right when the sj is supposed to come out, you cancel it with a focus attack and dash forward/backward. Takes practice to be able to do it while being sure that you're not gonna accidentally waste 2 meters and do a straight fadc, but it's not that hard once you get used to it.

You're probably already aware, but you can do a meterless fadc with any of her normals that can be super jump canceled too. Sometimes during block string mixups I like to throw in a c.mp or c.mk -> sjc fadc into a mixup to keep people on their toes.

Closer or not, one doesn't sound like he hangs out with Pooh bear. That's all that matters!
 
If its anything it's between the two. the "y" sound in his name is said so fast that Roo almost sounds correct, but saying Ryu is also correct if it makes you sound a little slow.
