Edmonton 2013 Thread!

Basically you’re accurately covering the ‘how’ to do things, but then also calling the ‘when’ and ‘why’ matters of execution as well. i dont think thats right.

ya man im not sure if you noticed the amount of time he spends between matches reading notes<div><br></div><div>hint: they aren’t combos he’s looking at</div>

I’m pretty his notes are just ‘‘lp lp fwd lk hp’’ mirite?

<div class=“QuoteText”>Geoff Infiltration’s wins are a terrible example, he got all that mileage based on READS. <b>SF4 isnt exactly demanding in terms of execution</b>. you’re putting too much under the umbrella of ‘execution’, like demoning a baited jaggar kick has nothing to do with execution.<b> it is assumed that a top level player can accurately input demon every time</b></div>

Even Seth Killian said Infiltration looked amateurish vs. Mago.

Who cares? Is anyone down for some online sf tonight? I’m thinking if we get enough people we can do a round robin.

I’m down. I’ll be on after 945 though.

I got a beef with Paul actually. Paul I used to respect you a lot as a player, but now you just freak out and ragequit when we play. I’m not smug, and I didn’t put all this fuckin work in to get good at SF just to have you belittle it all when you slam your fists on the ground and ragequit when I play you. There isnt a single person in the fgc I dont get along with; the problem aint me. im not gonna play with you anymore, period.

that said, and admitted anger issues aside, i still like you as a person and everything, we all got our quirks. but you disrespect me when we play
