I really enjoyed playing as decapre. Might use her as my main charge character.

On the bright side, it's way easier to connect Juri's ultra from the EX wall kick now.

Yeah my Sakura's more dangerous here than she ever was in SFxT.

Well I mean after the Ultra update. I mentioned after downloading super that I couldn't do it anymore. Tried like 20 times. Not once did I connect.

Downloaded Ultra and I can hit it at will. Might be a damage reduction though.

Getting back in the groove, but also reminded why I left this link heavy frustration test. Ultra is the most aggressive version, but you would have to know intimate knowledge of the game to notice. The execution required is just tiring.

Anyway me and Khuntry been at it. I should be online for battles throughout the week.

I heavily prefer SFIV over everything else. It seems like all other fighting games these days are about memorizing long combos that take off a third of the lifebar, and managing meter to hit said combos.

SFIV is more about strategy and execution. Playing mind games so you can hit smaller but more precise combos. It just suits my play style a whole lot better.

SFxT is WAY more strategic than SF4.

Can you not upload saved fights? Only your battle log?

That's gay.

Oh for fuck sake, Capcom, why didn't you import SFxT's netcode. God.

Focus Attacks kept lagging me and Figgy's matches, which also explains why we both kept getting timing wrong after successful FA hits.

Sorry Kalyx. That was on my end. Gonna have to talk to the landlord about a range extender for the wifi, so it may be a few weeks before I'm on again. Hopefully once I am the issue will be resolved.

My Makoto is better than when I last picked the game up. Wouldn't have even tried to play Kalyx with her in AE. STill not using all the tricks I'm capable of with her, and I'm getting hit with a lot of shit that I shouldn't be, but overall there's progress.

Maybe by the time I get my interwebs fixed I'll have her and Decapre developed better.

Still a bummer. Online training mode is a nice touch, though. Get some risk-free practice in before embarrassing ourselves. Will be doing that often.

Aside from E.Ryu, my stable now includes:

Akuma
Ken
Sakura
Cammy
Yun
Yang
And I'm also messing with Decapre.

Chun Li and Vega may not return from the old days.

Thought about putting more time into Yun too. Messed around with him a bit in AE, but never really buckled down and practiced hard with him.

Hugo looks like a lot of fun too.

Thanks to you I'm a tad more confident with E.Ryu at least.

lol I dunno, my Makoto may have improved, but she's still garbage.

I meant as far as getting more aggressive with him. I don't consider any wins or losses from this session legit. The lag was real.

God yeah it was. Maybe half of my dashes came out. Which is really essential to her game.

Testing out the YouTube upload feature with a match I just had with a Balrog player. See if it's decent enough that I won't need my capture device. Like DOA5 and Mario Kart 8, I may not like the process time anyway.

Okay I'll stick with my capture device this process is crazy.

Yeah, I've heard if you're lucky and it doesn't time out, it takes an hour or two to upload.

Wish this was on XBONE so you could just say "xbox, record that" and be done with it.

Doesn't it only record the last 30secs?

Is that all? Thought it was at least a minute.

That sucks.

That that feature more for collecting cool moments on the fly. You can record longer than that but takes some gymnastics with the DVR app, that's how I got a whole match in my Xbox One clips on my 'page'. Even still the quality was less than my own recorder.

Well, that was ugly.

Can't even really blame lag that time. It was there but it only messed up my inputs a few times. The rest was my sloppiness. Almost tempted to get a stick again, as I feel like my execution was better.

Hit Makoto's EX DP a bunch of times, and could have capitalized for big damage, but NOPE. Butterfingerrrrrrrrrrrs. Same with her command throw.

I just want the lag to be gone.

How come you don't use E.Ryu's dive kick at all?

No real payoff. I don't really use Akuma's either.

The process is pretty rough. It'll take about 20 minutes or so for an average match to upload. I set it to high quality video and it took almost an hour to "render" or whatever the term is and then at 87% uploading it tells me the YouTube service is down.

I'll have Ultra in a month, if anyone still plays.

I have had a Zangief t-shirt for a few years now and I'm planning on buying a similar one with Hugo. I can't, for the life of me, find an official one for Poison. They have one for every other character that's been playable since SF4 and SFxT. Infact, they use SFxT artwork.
All I find are the unofficial "hilarious" "trapcom" designs.

Make your own using cafepress or something.

I'll still be playing this by next month.

Her not having a t-shirt is kinda shocking. She really moves merch.

The only publicly available Poison merchandise I've seen has been a figurine of her with blonde hair.

I've seen hundreds of Poison statues and posters and when she got a playable role in SFxT she sky-rocketed from there. I don't know where you're looking for her merchandise but it is very much out there.

Amazon and few uk places. I've googled it a few times too.

I checked and there is still not a single official t-shirt, though. Gotta make one.

Yeah, they need to fix that.

Start @ 2:21. The Vega is done very well, I thought :D

I'll have the game around about Friday or Saturday.
