I tried to fix the title so i can keep this up. Hopefully it doesn’t get deleted again

Demon_Hyo · March 3, 2009, 8:26am

I signed up for the website when you made the other thread, so just waiting for more info when we can sign up for the actual tournament.

CoMeBaCk386 · March 4, 2009, 12:12am

DeadShot · March 4, 2009, 1:37pm

Can’t join it anymore I think it’s full or something

10_Stars · March 4, 2009, 1:52pm

Characters: ALL Characters are allowed EXCEPT Gouken and Seth

good, about time someone starts banning goukens overpowered ass.

CoMeBaCk386 · March 4, 2009, 2:03pm

he been banned where do u play where he is able to be used lol

10_Stars · March 4, 2009, 2:08pm

people are arguing that he shouldnt be banned. im pretty sure he’s going to be available at final round.

Alot of kids playing him online too. He needs to be banned from the network in general.

System_1 · March 5, 2009, 12:49am

Yea, I went by what i saw somewhere on this site, I think it was EVO where they banned Seth and Gouken.

justingroton · March 5, 2009, 4:01am

I don’t think Seth or Gouken are banned in EVO.

They shouldn’t be banned anyway, Seth takes hits like a 5 year old girl, and his attacks do no damage.

Gouken, he shouldn’t be banned, he’s a really good character and all, but he is legit and very beatable. I’m sorry if you’re too scrubby to handle Gouken, but I destroy him all day on Xbox Live and PSN.

MAGUS1234 · March 5, 2009, 4:19am

GOken is terrible, one of the worst in the game imo, ban him for sucking. Seth on the other hand is pretty dope, not broken by any means though.

Demon_Hyo · March 5, 2009, 4:20am

Do you know when we will be able to sign up for the actual sf4 tournament?

10_Stars · March 5, 2009, 4:55am

you’re playing online you idiot, fighting 300-700 bp goukens means you arent fighting Goukens that know what theyre doing. Parrys alone give Gouken too much leeway. Throw into ultra is fair? I play Akuma, i make two mistakes and die, he makes two mistakes, and is fine. Has the damage output of Akuma, takes less damage, has air/high/low parry, guaranteed throw > ultra. At the worse he has a sub par zoning game and “omg he doesnt have an srk”. Who cares, high parry > srk.

Frantastic23 · March 5, 2009, 5:05am

Umm last time i checked you can tech throws YA DUMB PHOCK!!!

Shoryu_Reppa · March 5, 2009, 5:13am

this

minus the idiot part. das mean :[

justingroton · March 5, 2009, 5:14am

I don’t play with randoms online, I only play with people on my friends list.
comparing Akuma to Gouken is stupid. Akuma has the second least health in the game, so of course messing up with him will cost you a lot of health.
If you get caught by his back throw, well that’s your fault. Maybe you should re-evaluate your game.

I am tired of people whining about characters being banned in a game. Street Fighter 4 is so great because every character can be beat easily. It’s an extremely balanced game, and as of now no character should be banned in my opinion.

Shoryu_Reppa · March 5, 2009, 5:31am

let’s just play videogames guys

i want in on this tournament.

also, i’m not clear on what you mean by the whole “team” thing. can someone elaborate? Do I need to find people to be on my team? My friends suck at Street Fighter. D:

justingroton · March 5, 2009, 5:49am

The website was made for shooters or something, so they have their site set up accordingly.

You are your own team.

System_1 · March 5, 2009, 7:13am

Correct Justingroton

and I will know by tonight or tomorrow to unban or not Gouken and/or Seth, like i said i saw it in some of the tournaments on this site and i went with it.

System_1 · March 5, 2009, 7:46am

Alright just got done talking to a bunch of top level/SRK people, and they said Gouken and Seth should be unbanned. There is no reason for those two to be banned. Also, The grand finals match will be 3/5 matches instead of 4/7.

That is all that have changed in the rules.
