instead of “effects of tiering increases with skill level”, a better argument would be “effects of tierting increases with skill difference”
Q vs. Yun is a lopsided match, but that’s true at any level of play.
my guess is that Kuroda picks his super art according to the opponent’s character
hm, lots of stuff to read. but i’ll skip tsukaihatasuasodfwelkfaosihfd’s posts cuz that’s like, whoa, 2 hrs reading right there…
Q usually go with sa2 against yun, yang, ibuki. why? cuz the damage and the fact that he probably only got one chance to use that super. simple as that.
kuroda is just a great turtle. that is all. stop analyzing his style or whatever. he’s jsut extremely good at blocking and teching throws. and reading oppoent. then get his one chance and kill them right off. there is nothing else to say. speed, habit, etc. wtf does that have to do with kuroda sitting there for 30 secs of a match?
on the other side, nanis…you gotta remember…even though q and hugo beat a lot of ppl on that particular day…it’s only one tourney. there’s countless number of matches where yuns just destroy hugos/Qs. kuroda doesn’t change the tier or anything. therefore, we should never bring the tier discussion or anything have to do with tiers in this thread.
^^^Round 3 IS always fun:lol:
yun DOES destroy hugo/Q
i’m just saying there are exceptions to everything so people gotta stop looking at tiers like its “i choose yun therefore i beat hugo for sure”
Yeah, K.O. is hands down the worlds best Yun player, and Japanese Tier charts put Yun at the very top (followed by Makoto, then Chun then Ken. Yes, Makoto is considered higher tier in Japan). Hugo is at the bottom any way you slice it, and K.O. got flattened by someone who may or may not have been the best Hugo in the world. Regardless, by alot of peoples way of thinking around here (I.E. Tier whores), that is simply impossible. But it happened. Same with Chun and Ken (Justin and Ricky) losing to Kuroda’s Q (badly).
Tiers exist and theres no need to get into an argument about that for the millionth time, but at least in 3s they are not the be all end all of the game.
Oh yeah and Aruka’s Ibuki won the latest GamerVision Ranking Battle, beating the best Chun player in the world to get there. Basically anything is possible in this game, that’s why it’s so great.
Here here!
HEALING!!! :karate:
not to mention schooling RX’s godly urien
:wow: got a link to the video? I love seeing Ibuki beast 
go to gvision’s thread in general forum
I second that like, hardcore.
SrWilson has a beast of a akuma actually (When hes on form anyway) quite alot of people will vouch for this over here I am sure. I have not seen a single akuma player in europe or US who comes close, but thats judging from everything I have seen vids wise so don’t argue. The only reason He acts a prat online is to wind people up. - he admitted this on MIRC.
Masterakuma is a total tossoff though he deserves every bit of hate he gets sf alpha 2 and cvs 1 tournys LOL.
I understand what you are saying because it infact is better to play smart instead of doing blatant rushdown with Akuma. Although, RD isn’t as bad as you say it is. True Kara RD could be very devasting because there’s a random factor. Also, unless your opponent knows the setups he won’t be able to escape especially if you Kara with close st. Rh.
this thread sucks
I see it as common sense really…if you can’t take hits well, isn’t it smarter to do all the hitting instead of trying to construct a good defense?
I mean, if you want to construct a good defense and play reactivly…why not play Q? That way, if your defense is broken, you’ll at least have a durable character to take the punishment.
maybe b/c Q sucks?
Lol, this thread is fucking wack. I mean, fuck. I play some Akuma, I fucking suck with him though, hell I can’t even hit confirm my c.mk -> supers, but that’s beside the point. This thread is really rapidly degrading. I actually stopped reading once the man of the hour (his name starts with tsu… something. I hate Japanese names anyways, I’m not going to lie) said “eGangstas.” This always gets to me, because it’s really off-topic. I mean, we had a decent (if heated) strat discussion. This turned into a bit of a flaming-fest, but largely regarding the strategies. I can deal with that, then it turned into some straight up eDrama, you know what I’m sayin’? The actual strategy discussion became less and less the focus of the thread, which is sad, but hey! Let’s be honest, everyone loves the occasional flame showdown. Whoever talks the best shit is right, makes sense to me.
The thread, in my opinion, reached it’s lowest point when tsu said that whoever was smack-talking him wouldn’t do so in real life, and suggested that all “eGangsters” are the same. I’m not even going to touch on the eBitches thing. Now, this gets to me because I didn’t really see anyone posing as a gangster, well, anywhere here. Since when did good, old fashioned shit-talking become exclusive to “gangsters”. I mean, I talk shit all the time, anywhere and everywhere, to anyone and everyone. Of course, when I do it, it’s typically in jest. I don’t see that as mattering that much, as even when I talk serious shit, I don’t pose as a gangster, or a bitch for that matter.
Next comes the notion that the people talking shit to this tsu guy wouldn’t do so in real life. Seeing as the only real reason I can think of for someone to shit-talk online and not in real life is because conflicts online can not degrade to their lowest point. You start off with an exchange of ideas, which turns into a debate, then a heated debate, then an argument, then an exchange of clever insults, then an exchange of blunt insults. Now, in a conflict in real life, the next stage would be a fight. We’ve all seen it happen, we’ve all watched the progression. The problem with the internet is, of course, when this becomes a habit, when people become used to ending conflicts with fighting, they become somewhat powerless. Whereas in real life, they could deliver a nice, honest-to-god, punch to the jaw (which is probably one of the best feelings you could ever have. I fucking love the feeling, damn!) On the internet, however, this instinct to resort to violence is reduced to “I could kick your ass IRL”, or “You wouldn’t talk to me that way in real life.” As the argument manifested itself in this instance.
Now, I’m just going to level with you: I’m a 16-year-old, 145 pound white kid. I’m not a total wuss, and I wouldn’t back down from a fight, and I do have some experience in the matter, but you (or most anyone) would probably floor me. Does this mean that I wouldn’t talk shit to you in real life? Fuck no. Reducing someone to blows with your smack-talk is just as satisfying, if not even more satisfying than actually punching them. Plus, I mean, if you punch me, I’ll punch you back and we’ll scrap. By the end, whoever wins, at least in my experience, feelings of hostility tend to dissipate (or is that dissipitate, I can never remember). I have no idea how this works, but I mean it does. When two guys fight it out, it’s like reducing everything to the bare-bone basics, and once you’re done, there’s nothing left to do. You’ve already progressed through all the stages of conflict resolution. One way or another, you’ve got your winner and fuck, you can be cool now.
But seriously, never suggest that I, or anyone else, wouldn’t talk shit to you in real life. Like I said, I talk shit to everyone. Sometimes I end up saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, but fuck. I’m not going to stop shit-talking just because I’d get served in a fight, whatever man. Take the bad with the good, yo. That’s what it’s all about!
Just my uhh… 2 cents. Or if we’re talking a penny a word, then it’s more like $7.26. Heh, sorry about that, but I guess I’m just a verbose kinda guy.
Try doing two jabs and see if the other jumps away in real life.
