Columbia,SC:We Mashing Jab

Glad you know the truth. Where are you at, now?

Looking at my match against that ryu:

  1. I ate jumping hk like it was a buffet. I guess I should anti-air(ex snake strike).
  2. I need to recognize what moves give you untechable knockdown and which don’t.
  3. Play against ryu one day.
  4. Is jumping hk ryu’s safe jump, right?
  5. I need to close out matches and not put myself in a disadvantage when I have the lead or momentum.
    did y’all see anything I miss in that match?

I just fought yeager, how far along would you say that is?

I can really see now just why exactly rita is so broken.

Yeager, huh. Since I’ll assume you haven’t gotten too far, I’ll assume you fought him in the Rising City. That will mean that isn’t particularly far. But yes. Now that you’re getting more spells ( And should now have abilities to alternate spells to make STRONGER spells ) she’s just gonna get more powerful. It makes it worse that you don’t lose her at any point of the game.

Awardtour: D: Who in our community actually plays Ryu?

@ Thomas: Daniel from Sumter is a pretty decent Ryu. Other than him, I can’t name anyone else who mains him.
@ Zerog: Most of the reason why some people are not playing KOF 2002UM is because it’s an old ass game. I still feel that once XIII comes out, that will change.

@ AwardTour: A couple of things about your match that would have help a great deal:

  1. Work on teching throws. He noticed you were weak on throw teching, so he took advantage of that the majority of the match.
  2. I noticed that you were going for tick throw setups during most of your combos, when you could have use those hit confirms for more viable damage punishers. So I’d recommend you maybe work on that a bit.
  3. During your focus parry’s, you always seem to move forward. That’s what also got you counter-hit a few times, so I would mix it up.

been saying that for two years. I think there is one dude from sumter. Name slips my head.

I remember wanting to got to my cosines house just to play Project Justice.

We will see for some reason just let me say this I HAVE DOUBTS.

Oh and a dude named Marcus is has a really good ryu, he goes under the name DaUnkown in the forum.

Oh and just because something is old is not a reason to play in my opinion some of the older fighters are better than this generation.

  1. I noticed he tick throw alot rather than eating a counter hit combo I took a throw.
  2. I’m scarred shitless of mashing dp. It is greater risk/reward for him . I need more confidence in the match-up aka get my Ricky Ortiz on.
  3. I had a brain fart on anti-air ryu. bad habit. I just have bad habits in this match-up becuase I never play it. also Rufus focus sucks anyway.

Only if you go by the name…

KOF 2002 was remade and new characters added and came out on late February last year, shortly before SF4? Not to mention that the game itself was not even released stateside until November 3 this year.

Old school =/= old.

Anyways, I’m going in all the way, as woodrow would say on the tournament I wanted to put together. For those who don’t know, I’m planning on organizing a tournament. A big one. I wouldn’t want to say major, but my goal is to pull all of georgia/north carolina into a 60-100 man tournament if at all possible. It’s going to be a while aways since I’m going to pour my own money into it (Around $600 worth.)

Anyways, Before I can secure the venue I need to over some things with everyone. Which is why I hope you all show up at the tournament this weekend. I know it’s Thanksgiving, though. I plan on getting our Venue secured next month, and the place I’m looking at is the Columbia Convention Center, which is located on 1600 Lincoln Street in the Vista. It’ll be around $300 dollars to secure it for one day, and the internet there is servicable enough for a stream. Of course, I need to go over all this with them when I contact them. But before I can even do that, like I said, I need to discuss things with everyone.

Since it’ll take me some time to allocate all the money to put it together, it won’t be until september of next year, But if we want to have time to advertise and pull people into the tournament, we(I) need to act immediately. I’ve already put together a list of things I’ll need to get it together, and I’m going to make about 25 copies and handout to everyone on saturday to go over with everyone.

Like I said, I’m very serious about it, and there will be $100 bonus pot to first place in Super, possibly other games (Since Marvel 3, Arcana, and MK9 will be out by that time.)

I hope to see everyone on Saturday so I can get yall’s input.

@ guitalex: Regardless, the graphics are still a big deterrent from attracting new players and the fact that it looks like an old game doesn’t help either.

@ SimpleKiss: I’ll be looking forward to hearing more about the event and if you need a website for the tourney, let me know.

Anyone here watch ring of honor

Anyone know any videos I can watch or check out to help me out with learning akuma?

YouTube - lordofultima’s Channel

Back when I used to believe in this game i watched lord of ultimas vids to learn akuma. Just search under his uploads section for akuma if the link doesnt take you to the tuts.

Good find

@ juggyisback: If your not too busy around 7pm, I’d like to come by your place and get a good practice session going. I need to do training offline and I can atleast help you with the Juri, Cammy (one of Akuma’s bad matchups) and Rose (another bad one) matchup. I’ll call you, when I get off work about it.

Edit: I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving tomorrow with your family :slight_smile:

So you can answer SRK posts but not Ben’s texts?! Shame on you. :open_mouth:

@ Thomas: I’m about to get off of work in a couple of minutes and I don’t have my phone, so…

You fools be trippin for Fall Brawl 2…needs to be converted into Holiday Xmas Xtreme, or some other hype retarded name.
