It whiffs! On Makoto at least.

I could jump really late, but then they can do all kinds of things to get out, like anti-air me.

Ouch! Is this the kijiji xbox? Sucks man. :confused:

So if you do your st.MP whiff and jump, a Makoto player should always, always leave the stick at neutral? Thereā€™s nothing you can do to hit her?? lol

I guess you can j.LK tick into something. :\ Does j.LK combo into stand jab? At least you can get some stand jabs into st.MP? In AE you can combo back into knockdown.

Yeah, but he cheated. New generation, lol.

Yeah, I think everything whiffs. If she presses a direction, she may get unblockableā€™d, but if she abandons the stick and doesnā€™t try to defend herself, sheā€™ll be fine. (makes sense! lol)

Even other non-crossup setups, like whiff LP into safejump RH will whiff too. Like, everything good will whiff.

J.LK whiffs as well. I think I would have to neutral jump (and not be in throw range), or move back first before I jump in order to hit her. I think it may also mean no more crossups after slide+press, which is where I got a lot of my damage against her. :confused: I think she can also use it to avoid meaty dives too? Probably depends on her knockdown orientation.

J.LK has extraordinarily short hitstunā€¦ I find it really hard to combo afterward. Itā€™s a great jump-in though! Beats tons of stuff.

Thatā€™s pretty lol.

Maybe using oil after press knockdown is best against her, then? In AE it will be an even better idea.

Greetings from the 2011 Calgary Thread Creator

I like 2010 because it was a good year. Pretty awesome times all throughout the year.

yeah man. it was actually brand new never opened. still had the seal on the box. some woman got it from Telus for signing up. so that means no receipt. i called xbox and this is a known issue (no power running through the power brick) with the newer xbox S.

anywaysā€¦ happy new year guys.
we are all looking forward to a better year but just let it be known there will always be problems in life no matter what year we are living in. just be strong and deal with the bullshit. this is a new year but just another day. turning the calendar year doesnā€™t make problems go away. fuck the police.

Hey man if the old power bricks work I have a spare I could hand you, just donā€™t know if there compatibleā€¦?

Anybody hosting games tonight?

Also, anybody like word games? I just got introduced to a fun game called Bananagrams. Gonna pick it up when stores reopen tomorrow. Itā€™s a fast-paced Scrabble-like game where you build your own grid and can change it at any time. Iā€™m not a big Scrabble fan but I had lots of fun playing this.

thank you for the offer sir but they arent compatible. cheers.

I want to play this

happy new year calgary! letā€™s play lots of street fighter together in 2011

Laggy online is the worstā€¦ I canā€™t stand sf lag

Lets do it, I love scrabble!

Lol, itā€™s cool dude. Iā€™ve played CvS2 enough that I understand perfectly. My only problem is that not many people in Orlando play CvS2 anymore, and there are maybe one or two solid Vegas and not many A-Bisons at all. Itā€™s really just a matter of the fact that I have no experience against top-tiers that arenā€™t Sagat, with maybe a little bit against A-Sakura and A-Blanka. But for my varied repertoire I like to think I do a good job. Iā€™m looking forward to more CvS2 on Wednesday. :slight_smile:

Btw guys, thanks for all the compliments on my Dan play. I did it primarily to fit with our ā€œrandomā€ team dynamic, but I do actually put a lot of time into playing Dan when I get bored with SSF4. Dan has some legitimately tricky stuff in his arsenal and itā€™s a pain if you donā€™t know how to deal with it. I generally opt for LK Dan Kicks in that pressure string because itā€™s +0 on block as opposed to -2 for HK Dan Kicks. It gives you the option to actually throw in your pressure string as opposed to simply throw teching on a guess. Thereā€™s alsoā€¦ a particularly nasty trick you can do in the corner, which I unfortunately never got to do in a match on Wednesday.

If LK Dan Kick hits late against a cornered opponent, you can juggle with U2 for zero meter and solid damage. This works on just about every character crouching and a good amount of characters standing, and itā€™s very easy to confirm if it hits at the proper time to allow you to ultra. In simpler terms: Yes, even Dan can wreck people with his corner pressure.

Next Wednesday Iā€™ll either play Dan again or attempt to play a slightly more legitimate character. GGs to everyone though, and I promise you I was intending to troll no one. Dan is legit. :slight_smile:

You switched your main from Viper, right? I believe you were telling me this last time you posted here. I canā€™t remember who you switched to. Also, Iā€™ll probably be in Calgary next weekend due to my job so anyone planning on games during that time?

Yes I did. I stopped playing Viper because she doesnā€™t really fit my preferred play style. I love the fast-paced high-execution aspect of Viper, but her ability to slow down and poke for a bit isnā€™t very good and her defensive options are mediocre at best IMO. I love being the rushdown player but sheā€™s too high-risk for my tastes. I also hate the Balrog and Bison match-ups. :\

The two characters that are closest to my mains now are Guy and Cody, but they have severe issues of their own. SF4 in general just doesnā€™t cater well to rushdown players unless your name is Akuma or Rufus, and while I have played Rufus on multiple occasions I donā€™t find it to be enjoyable. Iā€™m waiting for AE until I commit to a character again, until then Iā€™m just going to mess around with whoever I feel like playing at the time. Iā€™d love to be able to get better at the game, but I really donā€™t like SSF4. Iā€™d rather be playing CvS2. I play it while Iā€™m here because itā€™s a new social experience. :slight_smile:

Fixed. :wink:

does anyone on here know a ā€œT SmoothsmoveS Tā€ from xbox live?
