I hit an Akuma out of a Demon with Alex’s DDT once. It was awesome.
You forgot to mention that it is on freeplay.
Personally, as much H2H is nice, my dream is to have something as big as a Sega Megalo 50 with the built in seating for running 3S, despite how horribly washed out the monitors can get.
Is that anything like the rig they had up at AI? There was this cab they called “The ride” that was basically a cab and built in seats with stick. The dang thing was literally about the size of two ddr machines with an astro city where the footpads would be.
edit: It is the sega megalo. I’m not sure if it was the 50, though. The one at AI had one large seat instead of two smaller ones.
could be a ggpo oddity or maybe you caught him right before super technically because you should have been ahead of him due to parrying his attack.
ryu’s close fierce is really fast, probably about as fast as demon is to start up. so maybe somehow you hit him before he was actually active and ggpo just showed one thing then went back and showed the other thing.
or more likely you weren’t directly next to him. the hitbox for demon is small and low. which is also why alex ddt would work just fine, cause alex isnt throwable during it and demon counts as a throw.
This is cool, record of very early fighting game match at an arcade:
This is just after Pearl Harbor happened:
*I walked out of there. Suddenly there was traffic on the street. People were driving badly, running stoplights, screaming at each other. I walked back over to Main Street. America was at war. I looked into my wallet: I had a dollar. I counted my change: 61.
I walked along Main Street. There wouldn’t be much for the B-girls today. I walked along. Then I came to the Penny Arcade. There wasn’t anybody in there. Just the owner standing in his high-perched booth. It was dark in that place and it stank of piss.
I walked along in the dark aisles among the broken machines. They called it a Penny Arcade but most of the games cost a nickel and some a dime. I stopped at the boxing machine, my favorite. Two little steel men stood in a glass cage with buttons on their chins. There were two handgrips, like pistol grips, with triggers, and when you squeezed the triggers the arms of your fighter would uppercut wildly. You could move your fighter back and forth and from side to side. When you hit the button on the chin of the other fighter he would go down hard on his back, K.O.'d. When I was a kid and Max Schmeling K.O.'d Joe Louis, I had run out into the street looking for my buddies, yelling “Hey, Max Schmeling K.O.'d Joe Louis!” And nobody answered me, nobody said anything, they had just walked away with their heads down.
It took two to play the boxing game and I wasn’t going to play with the pervert who owned the place. Then I saw a little Mexican boy, eight or nine years old. He came walking down the aisle. A nice-looking, intelligent Mexican boy.
“Hey, kid?”
“Yes, Mister?”
“Wanna play this boxing game with me?”
“Free?”
"Sure. I’m paying. Pick your fighter."
He circled around, peering through the glass. He looked very serious.Then he said, “O.K., I’ll take the guy in the red trunks. He looks best.”
"All right."
The kid got on his side of the game and stared through the glass. He looked at his fighter, then he looked up at me.
“Mister, don’t you know that there’s a war on?”
"Yes."
We stood there.
“You gotta put the coin in,” said the kid.
“What are you doing in this place?” I asked him.
“How come you’re not in school?”
“It’s Sunday.”
I put the dime in. The kid started squeezing his triggers and I started squeezing mine. The kid had made a bad choice. The left arm of his fighter was broken and only reached up halfway. It could never hit the button on my fighters chin. All the kid had was a right hand. I decided to take my time. My guy had blue trunks. I moved him in and out, making sudden flurries. The Mexican kid was great, he kept trying. He gave up on the left arm and just squeezed the trigger for the right arm. I rushed blue trunks in for the kill, squeezing both triggers. The kid kept pumping the right arm of red trunks. Suddenly blue trunks dropped. He went down hard, making a clanking sound.
“I got ya. Mister,” said the kid.
“You won,” I said.
The kid was excited. He kept looking at blue trunks flat on his ass.
"You wanna fight again, Mister?"
I paused.
“You out of money, Mister?”
“Oh, no.”
"O.K., then, we’ll fight."
I put in another dime and blue trunks sprang to his feet. The kid started squeezing his one trigger and the right arm of red trunks pumped and pumped. I let blue trunks stand back for a while and contemplate. Then I nodded at the kid. I moved blue trunks in, both arms flailing. I felt I had to win. It seemed very important. I didn’t know why it was important and I kept thinking, why do I think this is so important?
And another part of me answered, just because it is. Then blue trunks dropped again, hard, making the same iron clanking sound. I looked at him laying on his back down there on his little green velvet mat. Then I turned around and walked out.*

depressing as always
Think I’m going to play around with dip switches and turn this game into cvs2… 'Bout to make Hugo ass tier, 12 top tier and Yun… Well, Yun will probably still be very good.
Ayo so is SRK Roshihikari the same person as Yang player Roshihikari?
I wish. That would be pretty funny actually. One of the best yang players spending his time trolling an English board of 20 people
I’ve seen stranger things happen lol.
I finally watched the most recent Newton archives. KO vs Tokura FT10 Yang Mirror. I’m sure anyone who knows anything about Yang can imagine how this went. I learned a little from it, though. I have to re-watch it in order to really pick up all the shit I was seeing. My Yang is nothing like theirs and that’s not a good thing.
The next beer I drink will be in your honour Mitri MF.
The three after that will be for Bukowski.
wheres 3s footage getting uploaded at? theshend doesnt post much anymore
theres always new stuff on nico, just follow the match vids thread.

Hugo is Ass-Tier

“Best move ever”
Can’t fault you for asking if you really feel you had to ask that. Better than bothering dude on twitter without asking first. & then nobody has to ask ever again. :nono:
but similarly almost, that Afro(UR) could be asked if that has anything to do with AfroCole Urien. And if not and its another “kokujin” kinda thing, that’s cool too.
I really, really wished it was the same person…
Anywho, Makoto is just clicking for me right now. I have habit of trying to get into a character and then months later a light bulb goes off and I just ‘get it’ and it also helps that I’ve been practicing with her in AE.
I have noticed that there’s input leniency with Alex’ Powerbomb in comparison to Makoto and Q’s HCB grabs. With Alex you do not have to hit down during the motion, you can just hit toward, downback, back and you have it. Why is Alex the only one with this input leniency? No one knows.
So, going to be a scumbag and use SA2. I find it easier to use compared to SA1 which has to be cancelled into after a Hayate and I like the extra use of meter and you can use SA2 on wakeup. It’s not the best option but it is an option and you can also escape the corner if you absolutely need to. I will eventually learn the TOD.
A majority of Makoto players (even good Makoto’s I should point out) basically do this: start the round out whiffing and building meter, see what they’re going to do, then try to either jump in, dash in, or counter poke and then get the mixup going.
cheers :tup:
Canadians follow British spelling, honour not honor?
Yes Canadians like a little extra colour in their honour. There are probably still even a small group of folks that have the queens picture on their wall.
Learned something new today.
