Peoria/Springfield, IL Discussion: Surprisingly active o_O! That's good eats.

[Deleted member]

lol I just found the tournament,there was no way I could have gone. It basically started when my graduation ceremony started,sigh

 

[_OraNoS_]

Idk exactly where it was, but kourck went and I almost did (was on ps3 ) The tournament was probably listed on SRK

 

[Deleted member]

haha yeah I found it on Eventhubs.com, where I find all my ssf4 info. It's at some "peoria pizza parlor" or something like that. They do it monthly, and I left a post on their little wall thing asking if it would ALWAYS be on ps3, because I have a TE fightstick for 360. They are having another tournament in about a month so I will surely be there

 

[Dart!]

I would like to go to M.A.S...how should we handle the ride situation? btw, someone tell me why the buffering system in super is so gay?

 

[Oro?!]

because SSF4 is bad.

 

[Deleted member]

Lol what do you mean it's gay? I'm pretty used to it....no complaints here. Is there something in paricular that is giving you trouble? If so I probably know what you're doing wrong haha. Still working on FADC?

No, FADC issues stem from the dpad being uber lame.

i hate not being able to finish combos with ultras and instead jump heavy punch/kick then eat whatever punish they have...which is usually a bnb into super and i lose the round/match.

 

[Deleted member]

haha well getting a fightstick would in general, cure all those problems haha Otherwise I would suggest just getting used to the leniency on the dpad and get a really good feel for which direction is actually "forward" or "backword"

 

[_OraNoS_]

Why don't you use the control stick?

 

[Deleted member]

lol yeah and then there's that. I use a fightstick but if I'm stuck with a controller then I use the analog

 

[GooeyBanana]

Hey Nick, are you guys going to have any spare seats when you go up to M.A.S. this weekend? I can help out with gas moneyz if you guys pick me up ^_^

 

[Dart!]

lol yeah and then there's that. I use a fightstick but if I'm stuck with a controller then I use the analog

because it feels so wrong. which is why i hate the arcades >.< i mean i love playing but i HATE the stick. i can't utilize it at all. i try walking forward and the character will jump straight up.

 

[GooeyBanana]

So I decided to switch mains to Abel, at least for now. He seems much harder to be actually good with which may lead to me getting better faster. Mainly because I don't think omg uppercut on wakeup all the time and actually think more than I did with Dudley. Funniest kill so far is getting beat pretty hard last round by a Dee Jay and then being 1 hit away from dying and waking up to the Dee Jay jumping backwards to get away like that camping douche he is and I instantly ultra and catch him off his jump, and he was at half health and died LOL. Psychic EX Falling Skys are the bomb.com xD Still trying to find the appropriate use for wheel kick other than when they're in the corner trying to jump out...and SRK happy Kens/Ryus like eating them st. hp -> CoD. Bout all I ever think to do, either that or tornado throw.

Doesn't look like I'm going to find a ride up to M.A.S. this weekend, dog poop!

 

[GooeyBanana]

Oh wow, just realized I am by no means patient in the Marth vs. Falcon matchup and that's probably why I'm not that great at it. Will be looking into fixing this.

 

[The Milk Monster]

[Dart!]

lets do this. im so hyped for this random *** weekend now that turned into meleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[kourck]

When I first bought SF4 last year, I was using controller for 2-3 months. I switched to arcade sticks and I couldn't even do fireballs reliably... my point is that it takes an entirely different muscle memory set, and if you don't have it, it can take a bit to get used to. Just troll training mode until it becomes natural, and I guarantee it will be worth it. Arcade sticks are much easier to get to a level of consistency with regards to inputs.

Just compare the size of the joystick (housing in 360 controller for microswitches, ~2 sq. cm, housing in arcade joystick for microswitches, ~2.5 sq in.), the size of the buttons (smaller than a dime on 360, bigger than a quarter on an arcade stick), the amount of surface area you control inputs with (left thumb/right thumb + index for 360, entire hand and wrist/entire hand for arcade stick).

If they whiff a shoryuken you should do cr. hp xx lk roll, hp falling sky, its the best meterless punish you have... you can also just do cr. hp xx hp falling sky after the 2nd hit but it gets you slightly less meter.

A few uses for wheel kick - cr. hp xx EX wheel kick does 20 more damage than doing falling sky, and if you have the opponent near the corner it will keep them there instead of resetting the screen. MK wheel kick is good if you think your opponent is going to jump back on wakeup. LK wheel kick, as the fastest, shortest range, and safest version, is your best option as an overhead - it has to be blocked high. HK wheel kick is good against bad people who can't block full screen overheads. EX wheel kick can also be used to hop over fireballs to punish them.

 

[Deleted member]

haha also with abel you MUST learn how to mixup with him. For example, cr.Hp,light roll,HP,cancel the first hit into a medium roll, tornado throw*. There are so many fun variations of his mixup, not enough time to explain them all hahaha. Just mess around and you will see he has alot of depth.

thanks for the advice, dave how bad is that stick that you keep trying to sell me?

and @hastule my promise of starting to play ssf4 is being delayed by my attempt at buying a computer and some other crazy ****s.. sorry dude

 

[Deleted member]

hahaha no that's totally understandable, I don't blame you for wanting a new computer hahaha. Fortunatly I am introducing competitive fighting to another friend who might be getting a 360 for cheap and then super




http://www.youtube.com/user/EventHubs#p/c/7EC3A724F51B31DE/0/Q3xrIQO674k
This might be the biggest hitbox in the game hahaha. Blanka's new ultra is ****ing amazing. The first version of it is only anti air but the 2nd version of his ultra...one of the best punisher's in the game

Don't look, you may think Blanka's Ultra 2 contains the ultimate power, but just like in Raiders of the Lost Ark, you will inevitably end up without any skin on your gat dam face.

Play Super, get it on PS3, play me, get *****.

Any questions?

 

[AnDaLe]

Tekken > Super

 

[Deleted member]

lol tekken is so dumb, the juggling system is ********, you constantly get flung up into the air while being hit straight on/at a downward angle, and the animations constantly restart themselves making the game look really jittery. Just sayin,lol

 

[AnDaLe]

Wake Up Shoryuken makes the game look really jittery. Just saying,lol

 

[kourck]

Wake Up Shoryuken makes the game look really jittery. Just saying,lol

The best retort is one which contains an element of the statement you are attempting to retort. Just saying,lol

 

[Deleted member]

lol well at least the animation is smooth when you break it down haha. It's just really really fast.

 

[Oro?!]

SSF4 sucks, just saying. See some of you *****es today at MAS.

 

[AnDaLe]

definately =), getting ready now to go.

Yo SSF4, Imma Let You Finish, but Tekken is one of the best fighters of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Kanye jokes never gets old

 

[Oro?!]

Close, but Guilty Gear takes the cake in 2D fighters.

[Deleted member]

hahaha I just actually found that last night, I hopefully will be able to play at that tournament, it depends on if they are using ps3 again or if they are using an xbox. I will have to call them or something. If I could borrow a ps3 stick then I'd play on ps3 but I'm not going to spend 100 some bucks on one just to use at tournaments

 

[kourck]

They had both last time, with extra sticks, a few dual modded as well.

 

[Deleted member]

Dual modded? So like...they work on ps3 and 360? hahaha. That would be nice. I will show up along with a few of my friends

 

[Dart!]

lol tekken is so dumb, the juggling system is ********, you constantly get flung up into the air while being hit straight on/at a downward angle, and the animations constantly restart themselves making the game look really jittery. Just sayin,lol

So...tekken is dumb because you get hit? what do the animations have to do with whether a game is dumb or not?
especially because the combos in street fighter are all muscle memory when you get that hit confirm...but thats alot of the typical fighters nowadays.
