help

Please read the post by me that’s stickied, the Sirlin article that Thelo suggested, the character threads that pretty much all say bait Ken’s DP and hit him out of the air, and read my FAQ for those juicy cross ups. By the way, admitting that you lose to one trick ponies is not a sign that you have skill. It’s a sign that you need to work on mind games, the final step in becoming a better player. Trust me, this advice worked for me. It can work for you.
Ok…now close this thread. :slight_smile:

I’ve tried telling him this numerous times, but he won’t listen. He’s stuck in his ways and has quite a temper to boot.

In fact, he just sent me a friend request and then went on to call everyone in this forum a “bunch of geeks and unemployed losers living in their mama’s basement”. If that’s the case, I’m not sure why he bothered to create an account and ask for advice.

Mtaylo, if you took the time to create an account and ask for advice, you should take what’s being offered to you. Oh and threatening to “beat me up in real life” isn’t going to help lol.

Yes, someone shut this thread down before Mtaylo has a breakdown and ragequits this game for good. I’d hate to lose more HDR players.

Lol tell the whole story bro…

thanks bro

That is the whole story. I think we first played a while ago back on scoreboard. I beat you and you ragequit and then sent hatemail.

Since then, I’ve stopped playing scoreboard because of all the rage quitters like yourself. Then we ran into each other a couple more times during player matches. Each time you get beat, you start sending hatemail about how I’m cheap. Of course, sometimes i’ll respond and entertain your rage when I probably shouldn’t have. But it’s just too damn funny to ignore…

I think other players here have also listed you as a ragequitter and hatemailer. I think I remember seeing your name in the bad games thread.

Since you’ve taken the time to register here, I hope you’ll start seeing the light. Read over the links, watch the videos others have posted, and learn. But most important, STOP WHINING.

BTW, Mtaylo, is this you?

When you threatened to “beat me up in real life”, you told me to go to Virginia. It looks like that mtaylo24 on “blackplanet” is also from Virginia. Hmmm… I love google lol.

:lol: BINGO!!!

Anyway, mtaylo24:

  1. Calm down, don’t rage quit and all that nonsense.
  2. It is fruitless to call people nerds and all that shit just because they post here. After all, YOU are posting here as we speak.
  3. Ken is a TOUGH match for Blanka, he can zone (i.e. keep you in one fucking spot) all day with cr. mp and the SRK. Know this.

You will see that everything will improve once your attitude improves. And especially if you’re 24 years-old, you should definitely be able to handle yourself better. Just be cool, relax, and everyone here will help you out. I’m going to guess you are very new to this game since you are unfamiliar with certain concepts? Find the Blanka thread, maybe find a user willing to mentor you over PSN. You can only improve. Cheers :slight_smile:

Oh oh you learned how to use google, congratz, still don’t mean shit to me. I haven’t used black planet in a long ass time. I message when I win & lost and talk shit,and I don’t give a fuck. So if it makes you feel better, congrats. I don’t get paid to play street fighter so it don’t mean nothing to me.

What I don’t like about you Bustila, is you dont mix it up. You have used Ken 97.5% of the time. I recall you switching and me winning. Your just a coward.

Oh my has this thread got off track, all I wanted to know how to beat a spamming ken and you mafuckaz google me. And once this little bitch gets on, you take sides and start bashing me. Ya’ll SF nerds are too funny…

:rolleyes: nigga I couldn’t give a fuck where you from, or who you are but you got the nerve to call me/any else a nerd, and you are on a FIGHTING GAME forum asking for tips on Street Fighter II… [media=youtube]tcY73AXoiCY"[/media]

Handcuff your hands behind your back and jump into an ocean please… trying to go hard on a video game forum, that is real lame…

Somebody please close this bullshit ass thread please… seems that dudes like biting the hand that feeds them nowadays…

first of all, mtaylo24, you gotta relax. most people in here are pretty chill. every once in a while you’ll get someone who’ll take a personal shot but for the most part things here are cool.

calling anyone here anything will get you about as far as if you did same offline.

anyway, i’m no blanka expert, but there is a thread you can sift through first. haven’t read it, but i’m sure you’ll find pointers there for your problems.

as for the video, it’s what you need to look for. “spacing” in remix is crucial for all matchups. shenanigans will only get you so far. notice where komodo tries to stay within the match. he isn’t within jab dragon punch range, but close enough to hit ken when necessary. notice he uses the sweep for the knockdown and how only the very tip of his sweep connects. watch what he does after he knocks ken down. those are things to look for.

go into practice mode and put on your hitboxes. go through all of your “normals,” moves that are executed by a direction on the joystick and one button press. see which moves reach the furthest and which moves reach the highest while standing, jumping, and crouching. memorize them. to beat ken, you’re going to have to rely on your normals more than anything else. your crouching hard punch and kick reach the furthest on the ground. your jumping roundhouse is great against fireballers because of how far it reaches from the air.

two other things you need in this situation is being able to slide underneath fireballs, and being able to jump straight up over them. both take a lot of practice. you can go to practice mode and set up the computer to control both ken and ryu. a cpu controlled ryu will throw a lot of fireballs so you can practice jumping over them and sliding under them. note: ken and ryu’s fireball are at different speeds but eventually you’ll get the hang of both.

practice his low forward into ball combo. you should be able to jumpin attack, low medium kick, then ball for three hits without thinking. this does big damage and allows for dizzy possibilities. once they get hit a couple of times, they’ll start blocking and you can go back into biting shenanigans.

last pointer, blanka’s hop backwards has a few invulnerable frames i believe. in other words, he can’t be hit for a fraction of a second while hopping backwards. you can hop in, bait a dragon punch, hop out and then counter and such. good luck.

oh yeah, get a joystick. unless you’re a freak of nature like “snake eyez” you’re going to need a stick. period.

He needs the ban hammer. Fuck this thread. The forum is here to help people who wanna learn. After he said he could easily beat Aniken you could already tell he has no clue and was expecting SF2 to be easy like someone could say “do this and that and it is uncounterable and takes 70% life” or some other BS to brag all around.

The thread could have been closed after this one. Undeniably the best reply.

Lol at this scrub.

And even bigger lol at the people in here thinking he’s serious when he’s calling you “nerds”. Guess he hit the sweetspot for getting reactions out of you.

^^^this, u ain’t have to call me a scrub though. My vagina can make me upset too when people call me names

Thanks bro, lots of good advice, I was thinking about incorporating the hop into my scheme…

Once again I play this for fun, I dont know who aniken is, I was just going by the video…sorry…

WHOA calm down NIGGA…I just need a little help beating people who play a little bit too much…I never tried going hard, I just asked for advice. Daveappen aKA bustila, in a personal ps3 convo, told me people were bashing me in my thread. I told him that i can give 2 fucks what sf nerds who live in their mom’s basement think. See, me and bustila been beefing, talkin shit to each other online for a long ass time. He turned around and ratted me out to all of yall…sorry i hit you in your pussy, I’ll try not to next time…

Edit: I just re-read the thread and the post you were replying to. I did call you guys nerds, my bad…

How about a fightpad? I was looking at this one online, have you used it?

@mtaylo2: After reading this thread thus far, you’ve done well to come here for advice. Aside from your adversary, most people in this thread section are always willing to help you improve your game if you’re serious about learning the game better. As you can see, it’s easy to get caught up in a flame war, I’m guilty of that too, even tho I get a kick out of it. But that’s just me. Yeah, go back to page one of this thread and heed the advice from blitz and thelo and majin, they had some very good advice of where to begin.

Also if you have any more blanka specific questions, you can go here to a blanka thread section for HDR.

@daveappen: Hey I think most of us active players online feel your pain when it comes to RQ’ers and hate mailers but at least the guy you called out here is trying to improve his game. I think if he came out and str8 up dissed you, you’re 1st reply would have been more justified and put you on a defensive to do so. Since he came here for help and you blasted him for it, it didn’t really help the situation at all. Not taking sides here, HDR online players is scarce as it is with SSF4, I like to keep the HDR online community alive as much as possible. I’ve actually seen players transformed themselves from once being dubbed as scrubs, haters, etc. to become better and respected players.

@MisterEgoTrip: There was nothing wrong with my first post. I didn’t bash him excessively, instead, I gave him sound advice. I think my first post was right on the button. Go re-read his first post and then my first post.

Trying to improve your game, without changing your attitude towards the game, means you’re still a scrub. Until Mtaylo can get over what he considers “cheap” and stops whining about everything, ragequitting, and hate mailing, he’ll still be a scrub. I’m all for him changing his attitude as I really have no beef with him. I just find him amusing. In fact, I accepted his friend request, even though he still rages all the time.
