Lost Fragment said:So I recently had a bunch of money fall into my lap. Originally I wanted to take some of it and build a full-on MAME cab, but for the sake of actaully being able to take it with me when i move, instead I've decided to build one of these bad boys:
This is gonna be awesome.
I wish there was a Vewlix kit I could just buy, though. I'm not too experienced with woodworking so I hope I don't end up getting in over my head.
wow! very nice man!
GGs to Grifter last night. It's fun playing your sick Akuma
Ermac said:lol I think you mean Armonix (That's my PSN tag)
But yeah your Ryu is definitely improved.
Anyone up for a few matches right now? PSN is Armonix, quote within 5 minutes or I'm gonna crash for the night.
lol sorry about that man. I play on my CRT tv and its hard to read from afar.
We should game later tonight or something.

I've been there. Switching up timings was so aggravating that I quit for a while. Your problem is Akuma. His low HP and style of linking and precision (most of his moves are active for only 2 frames) gets swallowed up in lag.
GGs! I need to switch up characters next time. =)GGs to Grifter last night. It's fun playing your sick Akuma

Fuerte is fun, but it's ridiculous how little effort it takes to won with someone else as opposed to the cook.
And Guile's air throw is magical.
Fuerte is ez to win matches with...

Shoot. I never made it out of G2. I just didn't have the patience to grind for so long. I prefer ranking battle in HD Remix (though you can obviously fight some cans).
And please Capcom, fix the search engine. I put it on request in arcade mode, but I kept getting one-bar opponents.
And Seb could've uploaded the Finals, as that is what everyone wants to see (even though we know Shine got bodied).

I hate Seb's commentating. I like Hu, S.Kill, Dogface, and Ski is okay if he has someone else good with him.
Why doesn't yours work? Have we even played each other yet?

TurtleSnatcher said:
If the person knows how to play Fuerte, Fuerte is forced to play differently which makes it harder for him. That, coupled with Fuerte's sucky vitality and how 10 Fuerte moves = 1 Sagat upper cut, makes it that much hard when winning with Fuerte.
I mean if someone doesn't know how to play Fuerte, all you have to do is just do cross-up splashes all day. A person that knows the match-up well won't let Fuerte get in at ALL. Then Fuerte is forced to wait for opportune moments to punish mistakes and vulnerable positions. Other characters, like Guile, don't necessarily have to "wait" for someone to make a mistake; they can just constantly pressure someone and force a mistake.

City Boy (Ryu) vs. Adnan (Rufus)
God damn, the commentary had me laughing non stop through out this whole match haha. It's a must watch!!
On Rufus Vs. Ryu matchup
Chris -(fob accent) Rufus just go random, thats how justin beat me.
Andre - Oh, so you're saying, Justin unskillfully beat you?
Chris -(fob accent) Um yeah, he just going some random stuff.
Andre - Oh, so he unskillfully beat you five times in a row?
Chris -(fob accent) Yeah his random is pretty good and is the most gimmick person in the world
:lol :lol :lol :lol The Adnan hate was pretty funny too

Pandaman said:
Yeah..I read the comments yesterday but couldn't watch so I was expecting a good Gouken. That was not a good Gouken. He definitely had a few neat little things but by game two he was downloaded. Only reason Sanford lost was Akuma's low health. Or maybe I'm just used to Desora/Valle style Gouken and this kid is the new style Gouken.
well, akumas low health is a trade off for akumas airgame and his vortex options, it just so happened that this kid was really used to swatting people out of the air.worldrevolution said:
so the only reason sanford lost was that his akuma was worse then shines gouken. it doesn't matter if you download the opponent or not if you're still being sent to losers by that opponent.

I find it amusing that some pros complain about "random" play. How is that any different from the scrubs complaining about tick throws, who everybody hates so much? If you lose, you got beat, pretty simple. And losing is for *******

Sanford's akuma was waayyy worsee. In the grand scheme of things though, sanford downloading shine resulted in grand finals sweep.

He was back jump roundhousing randomly and throwing anti-air fireballs randomly. Watch again and check out how many fireballs are complete guesses that whiff. Did he get some right? Definitely. But they were not on reaction.. I'll give him that he followed up with a palm when he could. Still, for the most part you could just see him trying to get an EX bar so he could throw out an EX fireball and pray Sanford jumped into it. I'm not Sanford fan and I don't know how his Akuma ranks with his Cammy or Sagat but just in terms of mechanics and skills I think anyone would agree Sanford was better. Losing 15% of your health to Gouken's parry sucks.

Chris Hu's Sakura> Shine's Gouken>Sanford's Akuma?
It's a little more complicated than that.
well yea, zero ground game vs a sagat will do that, but 'i'll get him in losers finals' is only a good mentality to have after you've already lost.FindMyFarms said:
*shrugs*
street fighters pretty famous for its 'it doesn't matter how you win as long as you're winning' mentality. Being 'the best and most technical' helps a lot in mirror matches i guess.

I think it's the graphic card. I wish I had a spare lying around to swap it out and test. Such a pain in the rear.
No, we haven't played each other. But you'd probably be pissed, as I only use the Saikyo style now a days.
I have to tell you guys I whored out and bought the costume packs for PSN. I bought the limited edition, so I couldn't just buy the cheaper all costume pack.
And despite how good his Gouken was, for a 15-year old, Shine got mad people hyped yesterday.
And did you see the 15-hit combo Sanford did with Akuma in the first game. That was hella crazy. Yeah, not sure why Sanford lost.
Let me ask, do you think it's better to master one character or like Sanford, have several characters you're really good at?

At the end of the day, Sanford was worse than Shine in their first meeting. But here's why :
When someone's playing random and spamming stuff, you have to just sit back, play safe and let them dig themselves into a hole instead of trying to bully your way in because you WILL get hit if you're reckless.
Playing reckless with 850 life akuma against a random volatile player = um, you're going to lose every time.
Play safe and the other player will kill himself for you.
Edit - with regards to mastering a character, you just get diminishing returns at a certain point.
Taking your main from a "7" to an "8" takes the same amount of time as bringing like 3 other characters from a "1" to a "5". Taking your main from 8 to 9, and 9 to 10 is even more time consuming.
So depending on how much you play the game, or how serious you are, there's certain matchups where you're like, do I really wanna take the time go from a 7 to 8 with my main so I can cover all my bad matchups, or just counterpick certain characters with a 5 which would take a fraction of the time.

It probably depends on whether you're like Mike Ross who mains someone with horrible matchups with common characters or Daigo with a character with no bad matchups.
I think it's better to stick with one though.
