I think they were thinking on campus, but I haven’t talked to those guys for a while. It can’t be my place.
i’m down to play sf4 anytime. 314-520-4099. hit me up if anyone is down to play.
I did finally decide to get SFIV after all, I don’t think I’ll have much time to play but if I can get an ethernet cable long enough to reach my PS3 I may be online some.
sounds good, I know Shekeib and Shohaib are down to play as well. Did you get the Ps3 ver. or 360? if PS3, what’s your PSN?
Also cool, maybe we can get some games when you got some free time :bgrin:
So did you guys all die since SF4 came out or what? Hit me up for some goddamn games already!!! I still have no idea who to main, so far i’ve had the most fun with Sakura.
I’m going to bust a rare double post here.
Is anyone else super frustraited with SF4? I’m glad the game is here, and I’m glad that it is going to have a retarded player base for awhile, but jesus christ i have never felt so frustrated in trying to learn a games basics.
It’s like im struggling to do the most basic of shit. Punish wiffs, bait simple shit, and worst of all, anti-air! Holy fuck I feel like I am being jumped in on for free anytime I actually play a human being. The online system is also annoying as fuck for me. I want to play people and learn and get better, but in the time I might find one game of SF4 that’s playable. I could have gotten 20 in HDremix.
I dunno it feels like if you don’t have a DP to start with learning this game is a pain in the ass, and it shouldn’t be. God knows my fundamentals are…well mediocre at best, but good lord I shouldn’t struggle to keep a scrubby ken player from jumping at me or something so simple.
What about you guys? Thoughts? Is the new style coming easy to you guys?
This sucks, I don’t have a 360 or a PS3, so I have to wait four extra months for the PC version. :wasted:
Yeah I suck at it too, honestly, unless I’m playing a character who isn’t too different. I’m trying to learn Abel and I can’t figure out his flow at all
Well I feel slightly less scrubby then. I dunno I think i’m just gonna go pick Sagat or Ryu and figure out the basics, i like the game, but i don’t like it so much that i’ll enjoy learning it at a non winning level. For once I’ll just tier-whore the easy/scrubby character and run with it.
It feels awkward yes. The jumps aren’t traditional movements like most others, it’s a lit more vertical and a lot less horizontal which will mess me up also.
Yea, i don’t know it’s just something about the whole system, I didn’t expect to take off and be beasting by day 1, but i expect what fundamentals i’ve learned to work in at least their most basic context. It’s almost like it doesn’t feel like a true 2d fighter, probably because the 3d models keep that from being the case.
To me it feels like the first time I seriously tried to get into 3S. Like, I’d be so worried looking out for all of the Chun low MK, Yun Geneijin, Makoto dash up and choke you shit that I’d fall for much subtler stuff and forget some of the fundamentals of always watching for jump arcs etc. I was arrogant with 3S and expected to be god’s gift to it right away, so with SFIV and me losing randomly to all kind of stuff I’m less surprised. It’s a learning experience. I’d say I’m enjoying it if I had any fucking time to play it ;-;
Of course I could be stuck waiting for the PC version. That sucks. My sympathies.
This, especially when playing online. Actually, it’s funny but I’ve had a better time playing randoms on PSN (less time to connect and overall better comp?still a lot of ken, ryu, guile, chun madness) so I’m on that more often than XBL plus it looks nicer (HDMI!) and I have all the characters except Seth unlocked. Relearning tick throwing for this game since I didn’t play 3S much is killing me.
Travis, if you want some games text me so I know to switch consoles. I’ll warn you though, I dunno if I will because I haven’t even made the attempt to start playing with Stl in this game yet because I’m trying to get systems and links n shit down first. You too, Andrew, but I know you ain’t had much time to do anything lately.
sf4 wise, im doin pretty good. last week i went over to aks’s place to play. he taught me some basics, and i did pretty well even though barely got a few games of him. he probably would’have destroyed me if he comboed into ryu’s ultra better.
nothin replaces offline comp thought
when i played against AAA kids, dane guevarra, i did pretty good against him, but he had more experience. but no other AAA kids else could touch me in that game. i got scarted at first cause they said they played sf when they were young, and i played none
but then again i play sagat
Hey Julian, we should try to get a hookup going this weekend. You, me, allen, possibly shekeib and shohaib, and anyone else who wants to come (Andrew, for example, is going to be outta town). We’d just need someone to host because I don’t have the room and I don’t want to speak for anybody else.
lemme know
I’ll be playing in the GS tourny on saturday but otherwise I’ll be in town. I’d be down for some games this weekend.
sigh “The server is too busy.” I suppose this is a good kind of problem for the site to be having though.
i dont think i can make it to any serious casuals right now. i think i have too much things going on than I expected.

get hype, i can house a few if need be.
Hey I think Shekeib and Shohaib are having anyone who wants to come out over for SF4 today. I’ll hit you up later.
i hope they end up playin 4 like they play 3. MO would be serious bidness then :badboy:, especialy playing with Allen. Hes like a classicaly trained ballet dancer, only with street fighter.
