To be fair, there’s a sorta pseudo-DED that Alex has with short Slash Elbow and Boomerang Raid. Or so Yuuki did to me years back that I’ll never forget.
Oh yeah. Forgot to mention DED
Either way it’s not a problem in training mode lol

That’s a funny story about Kechu. Dude used to run the train on me and just laugh out loud. His Alex and Ibuki were so scary. He only started talking to me after Hong came over and shook my hand to introduce himself randomly. Shocked the shit outta me because I sucked really bad back then. Knew I was bad so I sat there like an idiot all star struck since he was owning the room all night. Think it was the endless Kara demon attempts or something.
When I make the trip back down under I hope you will introduce me to the remaining 3s heads.
Ok, I tried the Alex thing again and it worked this time. I swear last time when I blocked it he just sat there instead of doing the super. Maybe it had something to do with the way I timed it, I dunno. Either way, you can catch out of with Oro’s mp, which is pretty great. Not quite as reliable as other options, but potentially really bad news for anybody who tries that setup.
Also, a question about rank points, which I know don’t matter at all, but I’m curious. Why is DuranArts number 7 on PSN when he has so fewer victories than everyone around him? He’s barely even breaking even on the win loss ratio. Does it have something to do with sidebar stuff like winning with taunts, and parrying supers, or is it just some anomaly?
The system is flawed. Leave it at that.
I’d love to hear about some “good by American standards” PSN players. I only know about a few.
I always kinda wondered about that from DuranArts as well. Guy has like 1/3 of the wins of the top 3 yet is still close, WTF.
On other news, a power outage corrupted my 3S game data and I went from being ranked no. 8 overall back to the bottom of the ladder.
Never thought I deserved it, but it’s still kinda sad.
You gonna need a Chess style system to determine true rank…
Nah, they should probably implement a system in Ranked where if you lose, your HD explodes. STAKES NEVER HIGHER!
Pyteria seems pretty good to me.

I see what you did there…
Pyteria abuses lag. There’s nothing skillful about his game.
I thought that data was tied to your PSN account? I wouldn’t think a power outage could affect that.
Apparently, the ranking system just takes the BP stored in your system and compares it to the rest of the world.
Fucking A…
Pyteria is fucking trash; are you serial? Only friend request I ever denied.
There’s practically no one good one PSN; let’s leave it at that.

ahahahahaha. my thoughts exactly.
To be fair, his Elena is annoying and gimmicky but he does put up a good fight everytime around. You should play him again. He got a little better.
Damn, shots fired.
I mean the guy is a lot better than most people I play online, anyway.
I personally think that the best way to see who the best player is would be to figure out a way to test the level and extent of skill. Win/loss ratio is more of a reliability issue than it is a test of who is “better” in any common non-economical sense. Plus, with rage-quitting and lag tactics being such prevalent “thing” on OE and in most fighting games, I can’t imagine we have any kind of real written indication of who the better or even best players are. I can’t imagine we ever could.
Back in the day, it was a more intuitive approach, believe it or not. ( Intuition gained from the sense of having done it before, or something like it ) The best players didn’t always win but just the same the worst players weren’t always losing. Predictability was a huge issue, imo, and the fact that the defacto standard to the learning game was displaced by the strategy for a more positive win loss ratio really just kind of held everyone and everything back. Even the best don’t stop learning and if you need a board with facts to point out who is actually good, rather than who can help elevate your name then you aren’t in contention at all and you should know that. This is why I don’t believe that any particular player can make for a better community or better pool of players. Justin Wong is considered the best player at everything, just about, but only one other player came out of New York that was worth learning and gaining experience from while the rest of the players were just cookie cutter replicas of some combo video or tournament vid.
PSN players probably seem shittier because the lag is much worse and that forces them to rely on the same crap tactics if they want to maintain that win/loss ratio. I know I don’t suck, anyone that has played on ggpo knows I don’t suck, but I won’t be winning as much because I don’t like to rely on the givens to a match to actually win. I need to know the extent of my opponent in order to prove I am actually better than him/her. Having bested him/her once doesn’t mean anything more than he wasn’t ready or I wasn’t bothering to see where the risks lie. Meaning it wasn’t calculated. Considering it’s a video game, calculation is entirely an issue. Blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah. Blah blah blah blah Noobs.
