Japan

Fuckin Japan, slayer of Gods

Guess I was wrong about Lars, his LP shoulder is unsafe on block and his DP has no real ability to anti-air, two things I thought he had going for him. Not really sure what he’s supposed to do in footsies after all! Guess he has cr.MK into st.HP boost chain but probably not safe in 2013 and I hate comboing into boost chains in footsies.

GG josh, how was your connection, mine seems to be getting alot better, here and there random spikes vs everyone else

Lars can combo into shoulder off low mk… its just really tight? It’s a weird cancel. You’d think hit stop would be enough to cover the cancel all the time but it doesn’t seem that way. It does seem like you can get it consistently though?

Honestly he seems like nothing but pokes and jaguar kick spam to me… I dunno.

I think with Lars you can actually link Cr LK --> Cr LP --> Cr MP --> Cr MK with him. But his light attacks aren’t the fastest of the bunch. His ground normals are really limited to CrMP/CrMK. His HP/HK normals are terrible. Jump HP is a good button though. I find Cr MK into shoulder fairly consistent. Cr MP into shoulder, not so much.

He’s probably the most street fighter like of the Tekken characters I’d say.

fuk so after my first day back at work overtime adventures yesterday…all of my coworkers either have the day off or are sick today

It’s cause I opened his eyes to the scrubbiness of A-groove Nakoruru/Mai(2)/Vega at that tournament. haha

Comboing into shoulder from cr.MP or cr.MK seems to be a rare situation where you have to cancel into shoulder on the first active frame of the normal in order to get it to work. It’s not as bad as it sounds, just means you have to pay extra attention to the cancel timing.

Thread is slow.

So with NHL CBA talk heating up, and a deal on the horizon I thought it’d be interesting to see what people think about the compliance buyouts that have been agreed upon. Basically the cap will be set somewhere between $60-65M and teams are able to buy out two players if they needs to to fit under the cap.
With that info, who do you think the flames will buyout?
You can use this site for reference http://www.capgeek.com/flames/

Currently the flames sit at $66,668,332.
Personally I think the Flames will offload Stajan and Bouwmeester.

Discuss.

Def buy out stajan he’s getting paid too much fot nothing anyways. Hopefully mtl decides to buy out gomez. 7mill for 2 goals last season? Smh

Gomez is a prime example for what is wrong with the NHL.

The guy plays for teams that give him money, not for the sport.

He was godlike when he was on the rangers, then they couldn’t pay his salary and he jumped ship.

Fuck those guys, seriously.

I think 1 million per season is the maximum a player should be able to make, period. If they want to whore themselves out do it via royalties by being a poster boy for the highest bidder.

Give players the right to do this, they could patch themselves out like a fucking F1 or Nascar driver.

Problem solved. Your welcome NHL

Chernobleade!
Nuke the competition!

^ shit like this!!!

when you get to the professional level, its a job. you no longer play for the love of the game, you play for dat paypuh

they should get as much $$ as they can squeeze out of the owners, because they are the nhl.the problem isnt players making too much money even, its that we have way way too many teams in the nhl that are not profitable, and cant afford to pay what the market is asking for these players

the fact that the salary cap’s floor is millions of dollars higher than some teams spent pre-cap, and they increase the floor by about 5 mil per season only compounds the problem

but yeah cut stajan, what a plug. i dont think we can get rid of jaybo :frowning: we’re gonna have to wait until his contract runs out because nobody is going to pay up what most people would want to get rid of him for. at least he plays lots of minutes, i guess

It’s not the player’s fault the NHL pays them all that money. The problem is the precedent, and how teams like Minnesota had to fork over huuuge money for Parise because if they didn’t, some other team would and they’d be left behind. Really, the new CBA needs clauses in it to save owners from themselves, so they don’t cannibalize themselves.

Also, it doesn’t make sense that the players could make a theoretical max of $1m, as Derryk said… NHL teams are RICH, and the players deserve a lot of that money, since they are sacrificing their body and their future livelihood each night to play the game. If the players cut of revenue gets cut by 700% like this, it’s not like the teams will STOP making all that money… the owners will just pocket it instead. Can you imagine Jessica Alba being a 700% BIGGER curse on men everywhere? Could we operate as a society?

The Flames should buy out Jaybo and Stajan. Rangers will buy out Redden, lol.

Pretty interesting footsies for those who ACTUALLY like Street Fighter.

I was thinking back in the day when SF was the only game I believe that was the best time of tubbies and the scene. So much fierce competition and hunger and overall just way more friendship and less alpha bs.

In a way it can be SF’s fault that the online wasn’t good enough to truly show its potential. An online arcade would be insane and really fun. I think the game lasted a pretty long time though so thats not too bad. Maybe they should release SF5 soon!

Anyways,

Hope you all had a wicked new years and I hope you all your hard work pays off in 2013!!!

Cheers!
