Fort Wayne, IN - someone please post something for crying out loud

Games at Milan’s you guys can drop by anytime after 3pm Saturday!

good shit. i’m up to the challenge. speaking of challenge, Gary, if we can play some SF4 on something besides that big tv of his i got a new tactic or 2 with Vega i want to try out

— edit —

Mynd Dave and his crew - if you guys want to hang out tonight i guess just call Spencer or myself for directions or whatever and we’ll see what we can do. we are probably playing @ Milan’s house until like 11pm and it sounds like we might be able to head over to Spencer’s “secret location” and play for awhile there. if anyone needs me my # is 260-223-4961

Brent- Based on our convo at the last get to together, we’ll go ahead an have the qualifer the 2nd week of May. Only other option would be to have it the first week of May and players don’t have to use the characters they qualify with based on how SSF4 fills out before the tourney. Who knows I might even switch to Dudley if I happen to qualify.

my birffday is April 22nd
there’s plenty of time to get Andy tricked out.

May 15? Good shit. I know that sounds like the best idea to all of us in FW. By then folks that plan to get the game should all have it and plus it gives 2 extra weeks to get used to the game and other stuff like that.

Amanda - we will allow a double post but if this happens again it’s a 1 week ban from our thread. Ok? :sad:

Forgot to post gg’s everybody last night.

Gary - good stuff in SF4. I forgot to tell what my new little tactic was to try out. I’ll just tell you next time. It didn’t exactly work as planned but it does have some upside to it if I just tweak it a bit. BTW, Clem loves Jackie Chan and has yet to see Mysterious Lion so you need to get with him on that. :rofl:

Spencer - glad to see you are toughing it out in SF4. We warned you when you first started it will likely take a real long time to get good. You are improving and it will still take you a real long time from now but you are on the right path I see. I believe you had went astray from the path for a lengthy period of time. I too did that back when games like SF3 and MvC2 were brand new. Actually I have some people including Jeff (the guy that comes to Abe’s parties and meets us at the Indy tournaments) to thank for helping get me started back in the right direction. I’m talking way back in like 1999, give or take a year.

Clem - glad to see you enjoy Jackie Chan. It’s a fun little side game isn’t it? Garou is alright by me but something about it just doesn’t click with me. Maybe if part of our crew was some die-hard SNK/Garou players then perhaps I’d be all about it.

Ryan - glad we got to play some Garou. I am no expert on the game so I have no real tips, but it would be fun to see you try Kain if he really is tournament legal. Also good to play HDR. Much like Garou I don’t have a ton of Dhalsim tips since I’ve never really gotten into him. Figuring out all his normals/pokes/anti-airs is hard and will take serious time but if you ever get there then you can revert to the simplistic strategy of full screen yoga fire and then react accordingly to what they do. In the meantime if you want to pick up an easier character like Chun Li or Vega I can certainly help. Even if you choose someone like T. Hawk, Blanka, Ryu, etc. I can help you more than I can with Dhalsim. I guess you can always watch youtube vids of different style American Dhalsim players like Jason Cole/Shirts/John Rambo or top Japanese player Gian. Jason Cole and Gian have both won Evo in prior years with Dhalsim.

Milan - thanks for having us again and Bevens was a great idea no matter what Gary thinks. :tup:

anyone interested in coming to muncie next weekend. we could get together around 3pm

I’m sorry! I don’t know whats up with teh double posts! When I click POST QUICK REPLY it takes me to the page that says I have to wait. So I’m like "ok, I’ll wait’. but it tricks me :frowning: I didn’t mean to post twice.

Im down for Muncie.Just need to figure out driving plans.

JC: FoF info.

But there’s alot of info on Chairman Jackie that I know that isn’t there…and I dare say it’s better…

Also, if M. Lion is low tier, they haven’t played Gary.

I still dunno what the fuck Hyper Jackie does/how to use him.
Apperently System pics from the cab.

Ill talk to everyone to see if my crew can come down to muncie this time

I’ll Drive (of course) So we’ll work out some plans later in the week, I got a super-busy start of the week tough.

Also, Brent, thanks for your kind words, it’s good to know that I’m making visible progress to you, and possibly to Gary as well. It’s a big confidence booster, and Even though I only beat you once in SF4 on Sat, I think that’s more than my Sagat ever did.

But I gotta work on not being a magnet for your EX Wall Dive. I don’t know how I got hit by so many of those, because whenever I saw you do them I held block immediately, maybe I have to start predicting them.

Also, I’m starting to get Overheads now, their not all meant to comboable, but a tool used to get people to do something other than crouch-block. I was surprised in TvC that I landed pretty much 90% if not 100% of the overheads with Ryu that I tried. I just wish Cammy had a OH…

Andyways, that’s all for now. Laters.

If all y’alls are going to Muncie then I’d love to come too if there is room for the legendary Vega playing homey. :tup:

Hopefully we’ll get a good sized indy crew as well.
Imma try to get some Dudley tips from Mario

We’re talkin’ Saturday right?

A pretty good change list for ssf4.

Interesting read, sounds like Vega may be a legitimate threat now.

Makoto can combo after her Ultra #2, eh? Now that’s what I like to hear.

Man I just finished watching the SSFIV intro and I was fully unsatisfied. Seriously, no T. Hawk? no Adon? No nothing. Cody looked BAMF, but they left out a lot of the new people. Weak Capcom…

Even bigger list I believe, or at least more well organized.

EDIT: Cammy:

? Her Cannon Spike’s (Dragon Punch) damage has been changed. It was 150-140-120 for the Hard, Medium and Light versions respectively, now it’s 100 damage for all three versions.

…I’m angry at the damage nerf, but If she can combo into her full ultra, I’ll be more than satisfied with it, I just hope it is just a damage nerf and that how good it is otherwise is not nerfed.

But I always forget that Juri’s in the game, and that she looks soo good. I can’t wait to test either of them out regardless, and just get beasted on by the new Army of Dudley’s and Hakans.

Sagat
? Tiger Uppercut damage has been reduced. In Street Fighter 4 it was 170-150-140 for the Hard, Medium and Light versions respectively, now it’s 100 for all three.

? The Angry Scar powers up his next Tiger Uppercut to 180 damage.

If it wasn’t for how strong Sagat was in 4, I’d almost say that’s a ridiculous nerf…but wait, why didn’t he/cammy just get the nerf that ryu got with his reduced damage? idk…

Great read, i think they did too many nerfs and not enough buffs. Sagat got hit pretty good w/ the nerfs, ill still main him as i have since ST and my alt from A3 is back so im still pretty stoked about the game.
