Just read that Nishikin and T SRAI qualified for the Spring National Tourney in Japan. Cool stuff.
Nishikin is backed by Akimo (Honda) and Nekojita (Abel), so he has a strong chance.
T SRAI’s teammates are Playerjun52 (Ken) and Vegeta (Gouken).
Can anyone tell me who is the 2nd ranked Blanka in N.American on Xbox Live?
Speaking of T SRAI, I finally did what I like to call the TSRAI combo (trial 24, jump roundhouse close strong crouch foward stand jab fierce ball) in a match a week ago or so, after stunning someone…I let out a big fistpump when I did it lol
I do that occasionally but only when I feel like styling. I prefer close st.mp. cr.mk xx ball though. You can get a super combo off that if they’re crouching but it doesn’t do as much damage as in previous versions. Actually I think if you can land mp ball it will do the same damage as in AE/Super but I’ve never tested it.
It does, but it’s even more character specific than hp ball was in AE, which was even more character specific than it was in super
For the record it was vs a Ken…I don’t think I had super anyway
Gets lots of points with blanka, loses them all with balrog!
Plays Blanka as main, gets counterpicked with Rog, loses… plays Rog mirror… wins. Meh.
Assuming you aren’t a beginner, how much faster do you think you’d level up if you had better competition? I was watching the acho video below and it’s completely nuts. You’d have consecutive matches with Uryo (top Sakura), -6 (top Akuma), Amiyu (top Gen), Darui? (top Dhalsim), and a bunch of other really good players. And this isn’t even a tourney - just your typical day at a Japanese arcade. It is probably the equivalent of a hyperbolic chamber in DBZ. Crazy stuff - I can see why Sabin leveled up so much while he was in Japan a while back. Meanwhile, back in PSN/XBL land, you face 0 BP players every other match unless you create your own rooms with good players, which takes too much coordination for a lazy bastard like me.

Hey all, can you share your best overhead setups? I need to use it more!
sweep dash/hop overhead
f.throw whiff lp ball dash overhead
f.throw whiff lp ball shimmy overhead
electricity in corner overhead
I like ilitirits
focus in corner dash forward j.hk overhead
what’s shimmy?
Maybe it’s more of a wiggle, but just walk back and forth so your opponent isn’t thinking about the overhead.
The shimmy is more of when you fake that and walk back and do low forward into combo.
If there is no Blanka in SFxT, who would you be and why?
Simple reason, no non-humaniod sf chars on sf side. Well. Sorta non-humaniod. I play a bit of Akuma, but I’m shite. I want Blanka.
also want blanka! and dragunov! GODDAMNIT!!!
at least I can be low tier and annoying with dhalsim…
dont care bout any other char…hmm…okay maybe hugo
EDIT:
lets pretend he is in…
chun li’s lightning legs is a half circle motion. would be hard to get used to with blanka but IMO it would buff him
I would also like Blanka with a Dragonov sniper rifle. Ultimate turtle.
Won’t vega with the ability to chain cr.mp x cr.hp x launcher be pretty awesome?
Have any of you guys played SFxT? With the release date coming, it seems like Capcom is being much more liberal with letting people play the game lately. What did you guys think of it? It looks a little bit like a cross between SF4 and MVC3. I would actually prefer a CVS2 type style - not a fan of endless assist combos.
It looks fun, I like sf4. I havent played xT but it looks like a LOT of buttons are being pressed and I just hope it doesnt feel mashy. It looks good, I dont play MVC3, and I am glad it seems more like 4.
Dropping combos drives me crazy.
I like zoning and space control in 4 and it looks like a little of that will be lost but not too much.
