Charleston SC, Prepare Yourself!

[Pistol_Shrimp]

I’m down for games tonight, either in person or on xbox.

Newbie Sagat Stuff:

Learn when to use Uppercut, HK, f.HK, and kara-uppercut as anti-airs, and how to link the ultra from all of them.

Learn to hit confirm when you can get two f.HK’s in a row. If the first f.HK hits too low you won’t be able to land it, and you don’t wanna whiff f.HK.

Learn to zone with tiger shots.

Learn to kara tiger knee.

Learn when to use j.lk, j.mk, j.fk, and j.mp as each have their own uses.

Block strings can be reversaled through if you timing isn’t exactly right. Be aware of that.

Block strings I’ve seen are:

c.lk, c.lk, c.mk, tigershot

c.lk, c.lk, c.lk tigershot

I think c.lk, c.lk, c.lp tigershot might work too.

Replace tigershot with tiger uppercut if anything lands. Tigershot ender if you want to push them away. Tiger knee ender if you want to get back in. Mix it up.

My bnb is j.fk, c.mk, tigershot because I never remember to uppercut.

Sagat’s target bnb is c.lk, c.lk, c.lp, tiger uppercut (into ultra~)

I know c.lk, c.lk is a link. I don’t know if you have to link c.lp off the second c.lk, I haven’t tried it. You do the fierce tiger uppercut.

If j.hk hits deep enough, you have enough time to link the ultra directly. Use this if you can’t consistently get the ultra to hit after FADCing an uppercut.

Sagat’s pokes are fk, mk, c.lk, mp, and crouching mp. Crouching fierce is good, but not cvs2 good. Only fk and mp can’t be followed up. Mk links to knee or uppercut depending on distance, so does the only ones.

Both of Sagat’s throws put the opponent at full screen, so remember that when you’re choosing which direction to throw them (torward the corner if you want to keep close, away from the corner if you want to get space)

Try to keep 2 stocks of ex on you, because you want to be able to threaten linking the ultra once you get it. Sagat with no ex and an ultra is a lot less scary than sagat with ex and ultra.

EX low tiger shot is really good.

EX uppercut is his most damaging non-ultra/super combo ender.

That’s all I can think of for now. If I’m wrong, feel free to correct me on anything, I’m learning too.

I just spit Diet Coke all over myself when I read this. It even came out my nose I was laughing so hard. Now it burns like piss T_T

Derrick: Anime Charleston tournament from what I told is on Xbox, you can use your own controller, 3/5 rounds, 1 match, single elimination. I KNOW it’s 3/5 rounds… not sure how many matches, time limit, whether or not double elim, etc.

I’ve finally got all the taunts and colours unlocked. Plus the two alternate costume packs they’ve put out. Woot!

How’d everyone do at Round 2 today?

Just a reminder, March 7th is the West Ashley PnT tournament. All characters are legal, 3/5 rounds, 2/3 matches (3/5 winners/losers finals, Grand Finals will be either 4/7 or 3/5). 3P & 3K ARE allowed for both pad and stick users. As of right it will be on 360 & PS3. If there is an issue on what system to play on, a coin flip will determine. Loser then gets the choice to pick side, console change (PS3 to 360 or vice versa), change character, or pick the stage :P. If both of you agree to a console, you CANNOT switch to the other one. Double elimination. I’m talking to Critty about doing a cash pot as well.

Currently it’s $5 for one tournament, $7 for both (Call of Duty: World at War will be running at the same time). Maybe $10 will get you in both as well as put $3 toward the pot for SF4. Winner takes all, unless they didn’t put money in the pot. Whomever places highest out of people putting money in the pot gets paid then. What do y’all think?

Single elimination is hot garbage. I’ll probably still ride out there to see everyone and I’ll bring my fight pad just in case, but still. Single Elimination

Really?

Really!?

I think that nothin should be changed as far as having one button 3punch and kick. If you have a stick with 6 buttons and you know you cant possibly make it to where u hav 1button to have all 3 punches or kicks, then thats ur problem. You should have came prepared and had a stick wit 8 buttons so you can have that option. I dont believe that people who use pad(like myself) should have to change DEFAULT controls cuz someone made a mistake an didnt bring a stick wit 8 buttons an doesnt hav the option of having 1button for 3punches and kicks. DEFAULT IS DEFAULT. If someone trys to take that shit up wit capcom there gonna get laughed at. The buttons have always been that way. y change it now because someone didnt come prepared??? The idea is to have fun. Not complain bout how you got beat cuz of button setup. You should be able to play however u want as long as its not ridiculous like setting focus attack on 1 button or sumthin like that. Thats definetly a no no.

Paul: i wanna know y this converstaion started an how bad u beat him.

My Point… Well said… If the game is default to use 8 buttons, I shouldn’t have to be handicaped to use 6 because of other peoples personal preference. The game was meant to be played with 8. If it wasn’t, then it would have came out with only 6. That is COMMON SENSE not an opinion. A 4 door car comes with 4 doors for a reason.

Also I didn’t lose, but I don’t know if he was playing serious or not. I wasn’t really until the last fight.

**Originally posted by icege **
He’s never been allowed to map more than one button to a single button. If he has, then he should’ve been DQd.

Command requires that you hit THREE buttons. Being able to make it so you only have to hit ONE is an unfair advantage. Do it in casuals all day. In tournaments, no. I don’t understand what is so hard for people to understand about this. If you want to argue that it’s default, you’re basically saying, “Hey, the game allows you to do it.” That means you think Gill should be legal in 3S tournaments. There’s plenty of things they let you do in the game. That doesn’t mean it should be allowed in tournaments.

What about people that have customized sticks with only 6 buttons? Shawn, you’re playing on mine right now. You’re cool with having to hit 3 buttons when somebody else can do it with just 1?

That would also mean I get to map my shoulder buttons in Tekken. Sure it’s not default, but it’s the same principle.

Why is this conversation still going? Do it all you want, but just recognize that come tournament time, you’re not going to be allowed to do it. FINAL ROUND WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO MAP MULTIPLE BUTTONS TO ONE. I don’t care if Paul wants to use 3P & 3K, that’s his choice. He’s a grown ass man and can play the game however he wants. This is a non-issue.

Last time I’m going to say this:

3P & 3K in casuals? No problem

3P & 3K in tournaments? In some places not a problem, but in most places, problem.

About people that have 6button sticks shoudn’t have anything to do with me, and my options… That is like saying what if I play with Kevins NES pad with 2 buttons??? Does that mean that everyone has to use 2 buttons now?? Mad dumb. The DEFAULT IS 8 BUTTONS therefor I should be allowed to use 8 buttons… Common Sense.

Also Mapping buttons in Tekken is not the same b/c it’s not the default. If it was, then you would have an argument. Also most tourneys recognize that SC4 needs mapping to do things. It makes it a big contradiction if it lets 1 game map buttons, but not let you play another game by the default.

If it is all about keeping it arcade feel, then they need to stick to their word, and not pick and choose what game they want to be arcade style…

GG’s today Kevin, JV, Chris, Ryan, and Anthony…

As for as both sides of “It’s default!” and “It’s not fair to have one button due a command that requires three” both have valid points. If one side can’t understand why the other is right, then they’re just close minded pricks.

On a personal note, I see where both sides are coming from. I believe that because this is a new game and it is attracting new blood that didn’t grow up in arcades like we did, we have to accommodate them for the good of the scene. However, things have to be kept fair. Therefore, for the PnT tournaments, 3P & 3K will be allowed on both pads AND sticks. If you choose not to have a 3P/3K, it’s your choice. If your stick only has 6 buttons, I’m sorry but them’s the breaks. They are default controls, but to only allow them for one because it’s not as hard to do on the other isn’t fair. If any pad player believes a stick player shouldn’t have access to 3P/3K just like they do, then the pad player shouldn’t have them either. As much as we want to keep things true to the arcade, we’re ultimately a console country. Also, we’re never going to see an SF4 cabinet here, so why should we follow the standards? We need change :lol:

So what are you saying?? Kevin translate this for me?? Is he calling me a prick??

I suck with Sagat so there’s really nothing to look forward to here haha

Although, Pistol Shrimp’s newbie Sagat post was truly epic. Thanks man! I shall be rereading that one a lot.

[romevjr]

my first lenguage is spanish and i clearly understood what u meant thomas!
u need to apologize dude!

This is pretty funny. I know this probably sounded good when you wrote it, but it is really funny if you think about it. It makes it sound like what he wrote was closer to spanish than english.

I thought we dropped the issue of 3 buttons with Paul having the last word on it.

[thehurricane]

bigger fish to fry = u suck ass, i dont worrie about u.
bitch ass = u map ur controller, i hate that, thats cheating, u need to play with default buttons, GGS dirty bastard u cheat me, but good games lol

I know I said bigger fish to fry but I never said bitch ass or BITCHASSNESS.

BTW everybody I like to drop the subject.

[cr0wley]

I think Thomas has every reason to be pissed off.

If I was playing against him and lost and he started saying stuff like “I wasn’t even playing for serious.” I probably would have said worse stuff than he did.

From what it sounds like, both of ya fucked up. Thomas let that shit get to him and Paul prolly got a lil too cocky.

Chillax that shit, the scene is picking back up and we don’t need that stuff. It’s just a game.

[Icege]

So what are you saying?? Kevin translate this for me?? Is he calling me a prick??

If you can’t understand why the other side has an argument that is just as good as your’s, then yes (a closed minded prick). If you can, then you have nothing to worry about.

I also included the second paragraph for you to read so that you’d know that this won’t be an issue at the PnT tournament and that I understand both sides, so you don’t have to try and argue with me on why you think you’re point of view is right.

Anime Charleston tournament today is either at 1pm or 6pm. I’m getting two different times.

[cr0wley]

wait wait wait… The Anime Charleston tourney is today? I thought it was yesterday.

If it’s today, I think I’m gonna make an appearance.

How much is it to register? It’s on 360, right?

[stridoom]

I know I said bigger fish to fry but I never said bitch ass or BITCHASSNESS.

BTW everybody I like to drop the subject.

For future reference, changing the subject works better than saying “let’s drop the subject” as long as the other person finds the new subject much more interesting they will just go along with it.

Hey, I sell…I know this shit :wgrin:

As far as fish, I prefer it broiled or grilled…fried foods are just so unhealthy aren’t they? Dude, we should go to Noisy Oyster’s one day, they got some toptier seafood. I like the salmon dinner with red rice…mmmmm…good shit!

[cr0wley]

dooood

garlic grilled tilapia is S+ tier.

[ThaHungryWolf]

Grilled teriyaki salmon over Japanese rice w/zucchini & onion ftw

[cr0wley]

So if I wanna make it to this Anime Charleston tourney… should I be leaving now or at 5?

Any ideas?
