Agreed. It’s crazy how people like to write off the USA in old-school games. If you wanna say CvS2 or 3S or GGXX…well, you’d be wrong, but at least I could see what you’re saying. But the SF2 games? We’ve always held our own. I don’t know if it’s hero worship or some gay “aZn pride” thing, but it gets irritating.
I think Japan and USA are pretty equal when it comes to fighting games, this day and age. Used to be pretty different, but things are a little more evened out now, thankfully. (Cap games anyway)
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Just because you lose one tournament doesn’t necassarily make you a less skilled player.
Yeah while CvS2, 3S and #R are debatable, the US has always done really well in all of the SF2 games. I think if you look back at the I think the 2000 Japan vs US team battle or whatever, the ST results were pretty even.
that’s nothing to be lol about, RF did that too vs Izu @ absolution, and he got the reward for it. Apparently J was aware of that, so he didnt cancel the short in to qcf+lp.
You forgot to add that he was using cracked-out CE guile. Something which ST characters hadn’t gotten to play against in, oh, I don’t know, EVER.
Evo 2K3 : Daigo won ST and GGXX, came in second for 3s and CvS2
this year : Daigo won ST and GGXX (correct me if I am wrong) and took second again in 3s.
Jwong is the most complete player in the US, but he does not come close to Daigo.
pass protected?
Yeah, I get the same thing. What’s the login account and password?

sweet thanks for the link billy
in terms of the number of things you can do/how complex a game can be. ST is a fireball/uppercut fest with sagat and ryu. whereas the 3 games you mentioned has an immense never of things you can do compared with sf2. Roman Cancels/FRC, Faultless defense, parries/red parries, JDing, CCs, EX style cancels, jump cancels, Air recoveries etc etc etc. not even a basic run/dash in ST. The reason why people like to write off the old school ST game is because its so basic and nothing compared with the 3 games you mentioned. its a lot of fun to see someone JDing in cvs2 or parrying in 3s (as we saw in evo2k4 diago vs justin) but what can we say about ST? “WOW, he can fireball and uppercut!” CvS2 can sometimes be really boring to watch but i’d watch that over any sagat fireball fest fight match anyday. lol
LOL. Thats all you see son. There is a lot more to it than that; spacing, positioning, pressure and among other things. By the way, who got third place last evo? A zangief player.
So the more shit thats packed into a game the better it is in your eyes? Fighting games now a days pack a bunch of shit in them but games like ST kept it simple. ST is not GGXX, apple and oranges. I could jam a bunch of systems into a fighting game and it could still suck ass. ST is old school at heart. A lot of players stop playing fighters cuz of all the wacky shit that was implemented in them after ST.
Go enter ST in evo2k5 and spam fireballs. See how far you get. I bet you will get served the fuck up. Stop generalizing a game just on a few match vids you see. I could call GGXX a dust loop fest or an Eddie orgy, or CvS2 the cammy, sagat, and blanka show. But I know that in games their are tiers and some characters are naturally better than others. Its up to the player to choose his character not you. If someone wants to play Sagat or Ryu then oh well. I could go on about how ur wrong but I have a feeling it wont matter cuz you sound like a scrub and wont listen anyway. But do me a favor. Pick O.Sagat and enter ST and spam fireballs all day. Let me know where u finish.
peace

It’s a big gamble. Risk higher than reward imho. And doing it on the decisive round, being the team’s anchor, when he had the lead anyways, was a bit too much. Imho.
Does anybody have the cvs2 matches? I would appriciate it if I could have a link to them or somebody send it to me. Thank You.
maybe if you actually filled in the aim option with your real sn, i would’ve sent.
