Any PS3 players willing to play with me? I’d really like some constructive criticism on my play. Add vt3ngu and I’d be up for playing anyone when I’m on.
didn’t see you at the console section today…I was at PAX from 2-8, and the only good player I saw was some sagat I don’t recognize =/…
granted I spent a lot of time at the tekken 6 and diablo 3 stations lol
Did you enter the tekken 6 tournament? That’s where I was @ till I had to go in for work.
ewww. mirror matches.
If people are trying to play tonight pm me before 8pm. I gots FFB at 8:30
Got to play a few great players over PAX weekend, and it helped shed some light on some matchups:
During the tournament I got knocked out by scunsion*sp, solid sagat who ultimately ended up taking the whole thing. He plays very different compared to the few sagats up here, especially with the tiger knee loops. I’m used to having sagats just put me into lock down for 3 or 4 loops, but this guy would do one, and wait for a reaction out of me to TU xx fadc xx ultra…hit me with it at least 3 times :(, the worst being that I would notice the 2 bars/ultra and not try to throw anything out but I got caught slipping.
I did beat this blanka player that had knocked me out of northwest majors, and ended up tied for 5th out of 140 or so players (I know it’s PAX so the competition wasn’t as fierce as EVO, but top 32 pretty much had seattle’s best and top 4 were all ppl that post here so yeah).
During a tournament in the exhibition hall I realized why so many Biosn’s still love to whore out HS’s like no other. Played this ryu that had no idea to just walk backwards to avoid it, and I had to force myself to stop abusing it to avoid getting into bad habits
2nd round I ended up facing against the guy that took 4th in the main tournament. Chun vs bison, which just ended up being an all out turtle fest (our match was the last to complete and it was only 2-2 best of 7, kinda like the gamestop national tournament). A couple of baited wake up EX legs pulled a win for me. To keep it short, I took 2nd losing to my friend jared (jalapNo) after agreeing to split the money and playing ? Vs ? As requested by the crowd watching lol.
In the end i learned that I still need sagat practice, hopefully scunsion has xbl, and we can get some matches in. Also to zeno, I talked to a couple ppl that went to bandit’s and they said your bison was pretty solid…definately looking to play you sometime this week, maybe tomorrow?
I always enjoy mirror matches, if a few of you want to add me to get some games in, go right ahead. Should be on in mid afternoon then later evening.
hmm…I might have a ran into scunsion*sp at the console area. I don’t know what he looks like, but the sagat I played had the exact same style as frank described. I ended up losing 1-2 against him in casuals, he was extremely on point with his spacing tactics and TU FADC punishes. It boils down to me not being able to gap the damage difference.
I’m currently sick as shit from PAX(at least not swine flu), so frank do you mind waiting until I recvoered to play me lol
Bwahaha, Zeno’s Bison = Shit.
Just kidding… that would make my Bison, what’s less than shit?
Anyways, I really need to get to a tournament so I can gauge my skill. I’ve been playing a lot with Balrog lately, and I’ve noticed that my Bison play has suffered a bit. Good job at PAX though guys, I wish I could have gone.
with all these people getting sick, you’re probably better off (but then again if you lucked out like I did…yeah it was totally worth it)
VS. fightclubnearu
Ok ill try to keep it brief.
You don?t seem to have many tricks/setups with bison to get ur offense going, he seems too generic at times and very predictable.
U don?t manage meter very well, every time i knocked u down u ALWAYS ex pc out when i clearly backed off, u did make good use of teleport tho, kinda got too happy with it at times but wasn?t too bad, work on execution there was a few matches where if u finished ur combos I would of been dead or at least knocked down.
Nice use of focus attack u caught me sliding quite a bit, but I?m ignorant so I kept doing It.:xeye:
I see that u really like the head stomp/devil reverse setups since u like these moves so much try doing cr:lp cr:lp cr:lk into hs/dr.
Ur a good player! I think u just need to get a little more creative/unpredictable with bison.
Hit me up next time u wanna play!
Anyone trying to play?
I cleared my friends list to make more room, so drop your gamertag if you want me to send you a friend request.
I’ll play later tonight if you want, I’m goin to work right now.
Sounds good. You live in the same state as me too, so it wont be laggy.
Had some games with PSYCHO-POWUAH on PSN
You use EX DR on wake up too much. It’s decent to use to switch it up a bit sometimes but it’s almost always better to use EX Psycho. Well come to think of it you use DR a bit too much in general. You were doing empty DRs a lot so I just started neutral jumping and landing free jump in combos. GGs all the same. Just try to stay more grounded and anticipate pokes so you can focus them and counter (something I need to work on myself, hard for me to do online anyway D;) or throw out EX Psycho/Scissors at them.
good news:
if all goes well, my ass is back online soon
bad news:
you ever live in a house with 7 OTHER people, all using the internet? My connection took a hit. I was always 4-5 bar, now, i am 3 bar with a few 4’s and 5’s thrown in (tried with my buddies 360). Still very playable, however annoying.
look forward to headstomping all of you soon
I hope this is the right place for this, sorry in advance
just looking for a bison to play against my viper, on XBL
the Skout
THANKS!
Yeah thats fine ill send you a friend request.
Alright, played about 15 matches with m16ghost and heres what I have to say:
I shouldve jotted stuff down after every match (ill do it next time) because I forgot a lot of stuff. :lame:
You started off pretty decent, I wont front. But as the matches went on, you were harder and harder to beat, and started winning matches. You learned very quickly which is really impressive, so that was good. I dont remember all the other chars you played with, but Honda was pretty good, you beat my Bison with him (my main). With Bison (or anyone), id say you need to work on teching throws. I got you a lot with throws; im not sure if its because you were having an off day, you couldnt predict my grabs, or you just arent too good at teching them. Either way, if you were able to tech like 25% more grabs than you did, im sure you would have won a lot more. You seemed to be on point with your combos and punishments, so that was good to see. I noticed something though: whenever I would cross up and do my combo, you would block the first 1-2 hits but then stop blocking. I assume you were trying to slip in a kick or something, but refrain from doing that. Bison, as you know, has no overheads. The only “mixup” you have to worry about it being grabbed. Just block low and wait it out. If he tries to grab you, just tech it and reset. I know this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I think you should have tried some wake up ultras! Not sure if you caught on, but I would always go for a meaty attack so if you tried to do a wake up ultra, if would have hit a couple times. Im not saying to do it a lot, but there are certain situations where you have to read and react. But the thing that really impressed me was your ability to adapt very quickly. After a match or 2, you started teching my throws after I would FADC out of a scissor kick.
Next time ill jot stuff down in-between matches…theres so much more I wanted to type but I don’t remember it anymore…:bluu:
Good matches though they were very fun
