I would like to add Claw’s and Chun’s Airthrow, Cammy’s is meh.
god i hate wifi. one moment youre up in their ass beating them down. next moment on random ultra screws up everything you worked up for.
lost 500 PP today all in a matter of an hour. ARGH
I feellike a stepping stone for up and coming players on Ranked mode. I fell from 3500 PP to 2850 PP in 3 nights.
I’m back up to 3300 PP but I’m not feeling right at all. I can pick up on patterns and do stuff in Endless and win but on Ranked I lose if I don’t turtle harder than the other guy.I have to pass up on alot of possible chances just to see what they will do in situations. Its frustrating.
I win more than I lose but when I lose they take so many points that it feels like I’m not allowed to lose.
jeebus, i wish i could get SFA running on my SNES emulator on my DS…This way I can keep using Sakura when I’m not playing super in the basement which I don’t have a lot of time for anymore. All i can play is SF2 so i can maintain a calm mind when using Ken or Sagat when i go and play super once in a while… now every time i use sakura for the first time in weeks i am completely blank-minded for 5 matches until something finally kicks in…
But still I hate how I fail to resolve problems in a more safe manner, I don’t use fb’s when I should, so half the time I’m jumping over projectiles, fail to capitalize on successful jump-ins for bnbs, get too FA happy relying on that for bnb… and not enough cr hp for AA.
I also got fucked up pretty hard by a gief last friday… I wake up, SPD; I throw out a poke, SPD; I walk back, to avoid his poke, SPD; Hadok-SPD; crouch under a whiffed st rh, SPD.
Lol. I try not to take ranked mode too seriously.
It’s always the same for me: go up to about 3300pp, then get knocked down to about 2800. Then win a bunch of matches in a row and go back up. Rinse and repeat.
I just quit and go back to Endless.
Anyway, on topic, I can’t wait till AE comes out on console. Blanka is a effing pain. The guy can just chip me to death.
Okay so it’s me vs chun li, I’ve got a sliver of life she has about 1/3rd… the fool tries to chip me out with u2 on my wakeup while I have 3 bars… :nono: ex shou through that shit, fadc c.hp xx hp shou and now shes in the corner waiting to get juggled with a sliver herself so I’m going to follow with u2 for the win… NOPE, sakura decides its time for an otoshi instead!! FML (and my sloppy execution towards the right)
LOL. No mater how much I practice QC to the right is a little tough.
I freak out when people start rushing me down. I can’t think of what to do. My mind just freezes. D:
Also, when I get a chance to land a combo after a focus attack. I mess up so bad.
zero pp/bb forever. :sad:
I swear, no lie, I’m the worst Sakura is existance.
I even lose to scrub Ryus and Codys. I went from 3000 PP to now 1000 PP. This is so discouraging. I just cant seem to connect alot of Sakura’s links into Shouoken at all. I got a pad and a stick and its even harder for me on a stick. Any tips?
Practice, practice, practice. Especially on stick. Go to training mode and learn your execution on stick, and you’ll become better once you can get the links down.
Right now, I’ve been gradually practicing stick. I was going to go cold turkey off pad and just stick to practicing stick, but it was too jolting for me, and I like how pad feels. And my MadCatz SE joystick part takes too much effort to use. I have to jerk the hell out of it to do commands.
But her BnB really gives me problems. So far I just been using a simplified, bastardized version of it lmao.
Maybe it’s time to replace that knock-off stick and drop a real JLF in it. And while you are at it, drop some OBSF-30s too. Laugh
The buttons dont bother me though, they ok. I just got to find a better hand position, cause my hands cramp up in positions other people recommended me, and the position I do put my hands on the buttons dont seem to be fast enough to hit the buttons.
EDIT: Want to play me and see why I suck? lmao
play with what you feel comfortable with. i play sakura on a pad and have no problems landing all her b&bs nor her extended flashier combos. just play with what you like to play and stick with that, that way you get good at one and not mediocre at both.
Shy is correct, stick does not make or break you as a player. I play with DeNice and he plays on pad, a 360 controller I believe and has no problem pulling off complex combo’s with any char. I mean he is still free but hey! 
Also, hey Shy do you play SSF on 360 now?
1000pp is better than having zero. 
Sometimes I just want to ignore the points system all together and just focus on my game rather than numbers. :mad:
I’m starting from scratch on PSN. I hate playing these scrubby players. 
… I always get caught with wake-up DP or wake-up/Random Ultra, because when I got to 3000PP and 10K BP with Sak on XBL, no one rarely did that stuff.
ah no! I can’t cr mk xx shou in a combo anymore! I get frightened by my cousin’s shitty fei, because he doesn’t play footsies and relies on CH rekkas…
Play a lot of endless. I still suck but I’ve got tons of killers on my FL. Regularly playing them has given me a better understanding of the game.
Learning the basics and fundamentals are really important and that’s something that new folk (like me :D) don’t realize.
Saying you won’t focus on the points is a little… I doubt anyone can stop caring when they see those points trickle away :shake:
Get lucky and land a Jump in HK -> HP -> lk.tatsu -> C.HP -> ex tatsu -> Otoshi (3x)
Get them Dizzy! Yay!
Then follow up with FA -> HP -> lk.tatsu -> C.HP -> ex tatsu -> UUUUULLLLLTTTRRAAAA (#2 lol)
Even though the damage was shit after the FA and I was better off going for a reset, I didn’t care. I was so happy that I just linked all together without dropping it. All those hours in training mode paid off! I just had to hit them one more time to win, so I went for an overhead.
Then I got hit in the face with a wake up ultra… and loss the game. God damn it! lol
