62 fights 24 wins in ranked mode. Not good, not bad.

And you're right about the shoto people. If I have to school one more jump kick sweep shoto Ill scream

And the people you anti-air four times in a row. What's their master plan after seeing this approach fail consistently? JUMP A FIFTH TIME.

I honestly get caught by that a lot. I really don't know why I even crouch-block when someone's jumping anyway. Gotta write that out of my system.

I have hit about 65432345677654345 shoryukens/cannon spikes/sumo butt smashs/vertical rolls etc.. at the very start of the match, because they all jump right in as soon as "FIGHT!" dissapears. Often in subsequent rounds as well, which is proof of stupidity.

Yeah, the vegas i've played just use his jump specials which are a joke against so many anti air moves

I use vega's wall jump specials as a fake out more than anything. You can control how much distance vega covers after the jump, so I usually immediately pull back, and they end up striking air, an leaving themselves open.

I have this habit from completing arcade mode so much of trying to hit a hurricane kick on someone just getting up. Threw my pad last time I did it because I can't stop myself!

Better off throwing a Hadukn against human players.

And doing a Shoryuken just because somebody is really close. A scrubby reaction that I still catch my self doing for no reason at all.

Fucking hate it when a good cammy player corners you. Can't even teleport in time.

Still finding a good second fighter for ranked mode. Akumas lethal, but his life amount is a joke.

That's the trade off with akuma. Deadly force, and the durability of a little girl. He'd be mad unbalanced otherwise, tho.

True, just mad annoying when you've got half your life and they only have a slither left, and manage to pull out their ultra for the win.

just destroyed a guy with the highest BP I've seen.. He used blanka and all he did was jump the entire match.

lol like the computer in SF2. Did nothing but jump around all match and then fly at you randomly.

I want to play as Balrog now.

LOL, Blanka and Gen.

Just noticed, it doesn't mention a better lobby system...

I want to see the new Sagat outfit :mad:

Just a nice session with Fignuts. Few pretty even matches but he got the best of me overall.

I really need to practice up.

Wasn't even playing very well, tbh. But fyi blitz, that jump spamming stuff will get you OWNED against good players. In fact, even I should have been able to counter it better, but I just couldn't put it together today, for some reason.

Didn't bother posting it, as it's only an above the waist shot. And the only thing that's different is there is a headband over his eye instead of an eyepatch.

Replays will be nice, but I'm also peeved at no news for improving the lobby.

I though I read somewhere that Sagat was going to be very slighty nerfed too, as even Capcom has admitted he's too powerful.

Definitely think there should be more of a delay to the tiger shot.

Random thoughts.

Shouln't sakura look a little older given the timeframe?

Also, fuck deejay and T. Hawk. I want Third strike characters, and more alpha characters.

His Tiger Shot seems no worse than it was in HD Remix, which was also a bit obnoxious. Atleast he doesn't juggle off Tiger Knee (good job Sirlin you dick).

HD Remix style?

Speaking of nerfings Smash Bros Melee > Brawl. Just an aside.

This was also my biggest issue with Sakura's inclusion. On one hand this the definitive version of Sakura. Her animations and mannerisms seem to jump right off her various promo art. I think she's how Capcom always wanted her to be like. In this regard I can see how Capcom may want to keep her in the classic look.

On the other hand, she should be years older - at least older than Cammy, with whom she looks younger. Her alternate attire at least makes her seem 'weathered', that should of been her default.

In HD Remix his Tiger Shot has similar hasty recovery.

Brawl's a fun game, and certainly deep(er than DOA4), but I'm not a high leveled enough competitor to pass judgment on the various changes on gameplay made since the last game.

I hear the Smashboards are pretty rabid about it. I also hear they're pretty whiny.

I know. It's always been a habit of mine in fighting games that I need to break.

Play me. I'll show you the error of your ways.

He kind of already admitted the error of his ways.

Are you threatening me?

lol first match I had online, I was Fei Long vs. a Ken player. He took the first round, I took the second, and he disconnected before the third could go down. What is with people?

Probably a legit disconnect. It's been happening to me as well. I hate getting disconnected after someone beats me. It looks really bad from his POV, I'm sure.

Random Thought:

So Vega can throw you from his charge-command leap, on the ground or in the air, yet he has no air-throw. Also, the command to throw the mentioned cases are archaic Street Fighter, why not make it a two-button command for consistency?

I've got HD Remix, I know all about it. It was more like a "WAHT?!? :eek:" sort ot response.

And yeah, For Brawl, all the top tier melee characters were nerfed to shit. For example, Captain Falcon's balance was that yeah, he's retardedly fast (movement-wise) and powerful, but most of his best attacks are pretty slow. Now he's got slightly better than average speed and strength, his range was shortened and his attacks are still slow.

It's like rather than balance everyone properly, they just crapped on the good characters and Sakurai's original characters get way better treatment. Plus tripping every 4 seconds is like punishment for being good at the game. Tourney fags are just that (fags), but they have a point. It's like Nintendo did everything it could to kill competition in the game.

I guess it wasn't their intention to appeal to the core fighting gamer base. I do remember Smash being surprisingly competitive, rather than expected to be taken that way.

Yeah, Melee was a huge leap forward from the original, but Brawl is like a couple of steps back. It's the little things that once the initial "OMG NEW SMASH BROS" feeling wears off, you notice a whole bunch of minor problems along with all the new improvements. And they still have clone characters, even after promising they wouldn't. :nono:

Anyway, this shit is about Street Fighter.

Street Fighter rules.

I personally don't think Nintendo ever intended smash bros. to be taken as seriously as some people do.
