Drakul and Boomer: Are you two practicing other characters at all?

Saw a replay of Boomer facing some dude as Bison and was curious

Im officially done with this game. Call me when you have a UFC/NBA2k tourney. Count me out of this one though (should make the brackets even)

Updated the seedings just for you :kiss:

I actually feel that Khuntry is better than me and he's holding it back and will reveal his true self during the tournament.

i hate this game.

Now you know how I feel at UFC

for some fucking reason, if i spend too much time playing this game, i stop properly doing the correct motions to pull moves off.

Sleep and a clear head helps. As does air conditioning.

And an ice cold beverage.

Yes but if it's a ranked match or team battle, I'm going to pick my best character to win. Endless Battle, I'll practice with other characters because it's not as "competitive".
I was going to pick Rose in the Endless Battle but then everyone left. Played her arcade last night and thought I did pretty well with her.

Have you ever beaten my Zangief with out spamming Akumas jumping Hadoukens?

PROTIP: if you stayed on the ground and FADC across the screen/didn't press up when going for piledriver or powerbomb/ green larieted more, you would have never run into them. :y:

I think Drakul ragequitted on me. I really do.

He's such a nice guy too.

Zangief is so fucking cheap in this game.

dude can lariat through an ultra

I didn't, you got the win. When the Team Battle finished, I left.

Everyone seems to think Zangief is cheap. I'm not sure I understand how he can be called cheap. He has to be right next to you to do anything to you and both his Ultras can be tricky to connect unless you're fighting someone who is really predictable or bad.
His moves can be beaten by most other moves to.

Only projectile ultras and 2 or 3 non-projectile ones. Everyone has a move that stops ultras, though.

dude is super overpowered. Deals massive damage and takes very little in return.

I know he deals a ton of damage but that's a decent trade off given how difficult it can be to connect with the more powerful moves.

It would be pretty bad if he had to get right next to his opponent to do anything and, when he did, he didn't do much damage.

Sometimes, most of a fight is just catching the opponent. When I do, I just wreck them.

He's slow, he's a big target, he's vulnerable during most, if not all, of his moves and he has to be right next to you to do anything. His strength is his only real perk.

i'd agree, except for that fucking lariat of his.

To get around the lariet, go low and stay low.

you dont get what im saying...he's not mobile, but that lariat allows him to basically get a free walk towards a guy to the point where you can just go grab happy. I mean sure, i could just sit and spam some tigers and uppercut when they jump...
...you know what, i dont even care. I guess i just play this game like a sports game, trying to make shit 'fair' and competitive.

This is probably why i dont spam, and why spamming annoys me, or when Roxer decides to pick Blanka/Bison/Guile and just sit on his ass like a turtle charging attacks.

There are a lot of moves that beat the lariet. It's not a free walk if you know what to do with it. Abels wheelkick, Cammys Spiral Arrow/Cannon Spike, the Shorykuen, the Tiger Knee/Uppercut, All of Adons moves, Balrogs charging low punches and his jumping headbutt all stop the lariet. They all knock him back across the screen too.

I try not to spam. I could pull of endless German Suplexes to win but I limit it to 2 in a row, then I do something else. That's pretty much my rule for any move, really.
I don't mind get beaten or even double perfect'd as long as it wasn't through spam.

Should have been to this party. What's up with Alva quitting? Stay in the game, you're a tiger. A ferocious tiger.

I've never lost to a Zangief online in ranked yet. Not saying I wouldn't to Drakul's, but most of his shit is pretty easy to keep away from, even without projectiles.

May "quit the tournament" though. It's looking like being a sausage fest and the last thing my rep needs is a homo-erotic fighting tournament.

I'd gladly take the crown by default. Save you guys the trouble.

King of the homo-erotic Street Fighters?

TPWW SSF4 champ will do.

I prefer homo-erotic.

That may have come out wrong.

I never come out wrong.

lol said the Sagat player.

Fucking wow. My internet package is at the post office right now (gonna have to get it tomorrow) and the tournament is falling apart before I have anything up and running. :|

What's the matter guys? Aside from like 3 moves in the entire game, this shit is balanced near perfectly. Don't bitch cuz you suck.

Let's play the shit out of this this weekend

People that I'm worried about who will have trouble participating:

Hasney - Been seeing him online a lot more lately which is betteer than nothing. He says he'll have the game by the time it starts so I remain hopeful.

Ant - A fucking ghost. With the release of Monkey Island 2 coming up, he should be online more. Hopefully, he hasn't forgotten about this.

thecc - Comes and goes. Dunno how often he plays this. Maybe he'll give an update.

G - 100% postitive he will be ready for the tounament. He would never let me down.

Just you watch, G has been practicing this whole time on PS3 and will surprise us all

I play various characters these days, and am probably out of practice as Bison. Hakan, Guile, and Bison are the people I focus on at this moment.

I'm out of town right now, btw. Can't play any matches for probably another week.

i'm in - juanbhatesyou

Cool. I think I'm set with these seedings. Unless Juan proves to be better than he claims.

Dropping out. Will still play Endless Battles and such, but scratch me off the list.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTT? WHY?

Have you got to break things down to their prime factors again?

I hope you get to the bottom of shit :wavesad:

Looks like I have a serious chance at winning this.
