3rd Strike Match-ups

Simon Yoo

I could never really get ppl with a RD so Ive decided to use other characters effectively. Hope to see you at Evolution. :smiley:

Sheesh why does everyone only care about landing the RD rolls eyes its a good super yes but theres far more to playing Akuma than trying to land a RD every game, His super fireball is a damn good super in its own right - has links, its good anti air land it after 2 cr shorts etc etc there is much more to akuma than landing the RD.
Im not ranting really but i think its a bit daft not to use Akuma because your not good at landing RD because Akumas game doesnt revolve round just that super thats all im saying.
Even Japanese Akumas barely use the demon at all in serious play they just land the super fireball whenever they get the chance and only go for the demon if its safe and have full meter late on in the match and very often they don’t since they use the super fireball every chance they get.

Hehehe I like Akuma too, hes fun to use, but at high level its really tough to win with him, even if u do it looks pretty ugly all most ppl do is jump around and throw fireballs…
I like to mix it up with Demon Flips and shit, but once they catch u, ur dead.

akuma = your god. i demon people all the time though, it’s the funnest thing there is. :smiley:

antoine --> i want to demon you again. make dudley cry and stuff :smiley: has your oro improved? ever since NEC, i’ve worked very hard to improve myself. i also want to take jay’s money, but why must you guys be so far away? :frowning:

:confused:
You can do uppercuts now right? :smiley:

Don’t worry, you’ll get your chance! :lol:

exodus : u demoned my Oro during the tourney and I still beat u

:smiley:

now i can kill u with anyone, just pick my character for me.

jay: yes! i learned the uppercut motion now! FEAR MY SHORYUKEN! muhahahahha…:cool:

antoine: it’s not my fault! i never played an oro before =/ i just thought he was some wimpass character who noone played – but his pokes own akuma. although i held out til the very last, my akuma was very scrubbish then, so i assume your oro also needed work. but it’s ok. i see you’re mighty confident now, so bring it on busta :evil:

i’m trying to go to T4, but as it looks – i doubt that will happen. i requested the days off, but i don’t think it’s possible to get a ride from ANYONE in my region. :frowning:

TOUR BUS!!

that shit’s expensive. :bluu:

You guys suck. :o

sureeee…we’re not the ones saying akuma’s a hassle cuz we got no skills. :smiley:

My Chun is all skills.

Exodus : Oro is amazing!! no one in ur area ever uses him?? I dont use him anymore but I had to for ur Akuma… haha arent u special.
Then my Oro lost to Arturo…
Ken is cheap.

I have a counter character for everyone except for Yang… who should I use against Yang??

Dudley

you are right, dudley is a very good character, i tweaked the rankings:

  1. gill
  2. chun-li
  3. ken
  4. yun
  5. makoto
  6. dudley
  7. yang
  8. akuma
  9. ibuki
  10. ryu
  11. urien
  12. alex
  13. elena
  14. necro
  15. remy
  16. oro
  17. 12
  18. sean
  19. hugo
  20. q

Urien shot down to 10th?

Is this primarily due to the fact that his then-nearly-unescapable-unblockable Aegis traps are now sorta-avoidable? I mean, it’s not like he had superior pokes that all of a sudden got trashy, right?

haha i see midscreen aegis traps are failing elsewhere! yes! that is the reasoning, urien was never top tier or had fantastic pokes, his main trick, the aegis unblockables are less and less effective now that people know it can be teched high or low then immediately try for a throw, which usually escapes the unblockable. the midscreen aegis unblockable is akin to magneto’s hypergrab XX tempest, at first it was fantasic combo, no way out, but then people found out how to escape: mashing the hypergrab and teching the aegis. it’s actually worse than magneto’s because at least the opponent has to block after mashing out and can’t throw you. :frowning: i’m only comfortable doing corner unblockables now, but even those have been escaped, 4 times total. the midscreen ones have been escaped countless times. :bluu:

I dont agree with ur rankings but thats ok, everyone has different ideas about the game.

Damn I just found out Ino is goin back to Evo… I wanna have my rematch with him … if I only had money… sigh… my friends are going.

and ya of course, play other guys like K.O holy fucking insane Yun.

P.S Urien is still top tier, unblockables or not.

P.S Ryu ahead of Urien?

4 times eh john? name them!

frankie, vic, and edma. i don’t remember which one escaped two.

oh yeah almost forgot to mention that akuma teleporting is not included in those four.

bs… i escaped it at the tips and tricks tourney.
