i hope not i hated playing x-ism gen in alpha 3 the few times i have gotten to play the game. give me a-ism anyday
not all games are like chess. Not all games require you to think so far ahead. Some games you can just wing it or it’s more straight forward. You think TeamDeath match is very chess like? Not really, it’s just run around point n shoot. Capture the flag is more chess like.
plus using the chess concept is just a figure of speech instead of saying. SF is like chess, checkers, backgammon, etc etc etc.
Yeah i know, i’m just making fun of the fact that when someone wants their game to feel “legitimate” they automatically compare it to chess. “Does it require thought? ITS LIKE CHESS!!!” When in fact all it really has in common is that you’re thinking. You have to think in much a different manner in chess because it is turn based. There is no reaction, there is some prediction but not nearly on the level of street fighter since it is turn based.
I know what people are trying to say when they say this. But I just think it’s hilarious because it makes no sense.
playing gen is more like “don’t get angry” :3 you get your arse handed down and have to smile while at it : D
you obviously haven’t played chess under a time limit.
hey guys just want to let your know that we had a ranbats today and i did very well, with gen. i did not use ibuki once during the whole thing. plus the best news i got 2nd place.
i lost to a guy i sent to losers, i beat his cammy but his sakura was giving me a lot of trouble.
over all i had fun and i came out with 22 $ haha.
course maybe i got lucky and they did not know how to handly gen. idk but i had a blast and i handle my defense rather well against characters like viper and cammy.
Gratz! Zaruka! I always have trouble with pressure characters and mix-up masters like Sakura. I’m sure we will see some vids soon. At least I hope.
yea after ever match, i was going crazy like i won, what what i won against a viper and cammy. which i have no experience fighting against those two at all.
gen just fits my play style way to well. idk but for me playing gen since vanilla has made me defensive. not as defensive say honda or guile but enough where i want to play a poke game then rather get in someone face.
so that why im thinking of dropping ibuki as my main, i mean i can do the timing on the vortex and i know her mixup very well, but my style at least in sf4 does not fit her game.
so i was wondering if anyone with experience with fei long. im just wondering if his play style will fit me better, or if there a character that plays like gen with pokes but has no fireball.
still maybe i should stick with gen, since i do so well but i would not mind another character that has a slimier play style like him just in case i have trouble.
congratulations! What was the general level of the tournament? I’m rather scrubby and lose a lot with my Gen… but I understand you, other characters seem boring to me. I hope these infamous “tweaks” for the arcade version might really improve Gen’s weaknesses a bit.
grats man.
Ya I just hope they give him something, just some little buff that will make some of his match-ups 5/5. I don’t want him godlike, just a small buff to keep him in the game and make someone be some what afraid of him.
What ups what uuuuups
Yesterday was the public Keystone thingy and I think I did fairly well :]
First match lost to Rom (Chun) And I really could’ve beat him :[ BUT in loser’s bracket I took out a Viper player, Crackfiend, a Gen/Honda player, and Illiterate, then lost to Gootecks -_-"
Just wanting to put that out there to motivate you guys, and to show that Gen is still a monster, in which some of you already know that :]
KEYSTONE II - Part 1, KEYSTONE II - Part 1 iplaywinner on USTREAM. Gaming Entertainment at 3:50
Rom is my homie with the afro haha
well the guy i sent to losers, with is cammy beat a really good honda player we have in oklahoma. then he came back and beat me with sakura.
the viper player seem to know all her little tricks, for ever match i played there it look like i was about to lose, but i somehow came back.
like the cammy/sakura player the match was really close he had two i had two, but i could not end it. so we restated, then i lose haha. they where fun matches i cant wait for the next one.
i got lucky not to face the honda player because i think i would have lose.
oh those matches that did won it seem because i did not let them knock me down once.
Getting back into gen. Expect updates soon.

well im thinking of using gen as my main until i find a character that plays kind of like him, like tonight i played online all night and i think half the matches where i won and half was i lose. i was fighting people with like 3000 points and winning haha.
i still like playing ibuki but she does not fit my play style. so i could never bring out her true monster, at least with gen i can put up a solid fight while poking, looking for that one knock down with ibuki just does not suit me.
While looking for a secondary I was also looking for a character that plays like Gen and eventually I settled on my old main, Blanka. Now that I’m on stick (I was a pad player before) I can cancel all kinds of things into electricity with the slide method just like I cancel into Gen’s hands. They both just feel really similar to me with their quick jumps, charge moves, great normals and mash-punch special moves.
eh not a big fan of blanka, to many matches i had to use gen against him. im more leaning to fei long as being a full 2nd character. course if im still working on piano so if i can get mr snk method down i could use Honda, but i would rather learn fei long then honda.
i think it would be less hate mail haha
Haven’t played for 3 weeks and I can’t even get out my mk hands. I’ve been slacking. I’m sure after a week or so of playing I’ll get it down again. Played some ranked, it seems I’m behind in terms of points, but then again that doesn’t matter much.
Still have my footies game. I can anti air on reaction and I’m making good use of his dash. For example someone goes for a cross up, I’ll dash under it and attack for massive damage. And the occasional cross up oga -> Ultra, or just a regular oga.
What else is there to work on? How can I maximize effectiveness with gen? What am I missing. What is there left to work on?

You guys are dumb for comparing Street Fighter to Chess.
If anything, Street Fighter is more like Starcraft.
I always thought of it as hello kitty fun time adventures… to each his own right?
