Gamer tag/PSN:
GT:The8ighty6ix PSN: The86

Level of Play:
Mid-High level.

Why did you choose yang?
I hadn’t really intended on playing Yang, I was going to focus on Makoto. After spending some time with him, I started to really enjoy his playstyle. His buttons are all pretty good, his pressure is great after a knockdown, he shuts down fireball characters pretty easily (Except Guile has been giving me problems), and his combos are very reliable. In summary, he is a just a really solid footsie oriented rushdown character to me :slight_smile:

What you hope to achieve?
I’m hoping that I can achieve a very solid neutral game with Yang and deliver incredible offensive pressure after a knockdown. Similar to how I play Makoto, but the neutral game is a little more viable with Yang IMO.

What other characters do you play? Akuma (a bit rusty with him lol, but I still am above average with him), Ken, Makoto, Cammy.

Level of Play: Low for Yang

Why did you choose yang: Main to 3s

What you hope to achieve:To get god like in all fighting games

What other characters do you play: Fei Long, Cody, Yun

Gamertag - The Incursion

Level of Play - Intermediate

Why did you choose yang? - Mained him in 3S, I like his reserved, laid-back personality, like how he has so many tools, options, mixups, etc. that makes Yang feel like this creative, dynamic, character, and Yun to me comes off as just a mindless, aggressive character in terms of how he plays.

What you hope to achieve? - To know this character in and out, to know every little intricate detail about Yang, and to just be able to compete at a decent level of play.

What other characters do you play? - Guy, E.Honda, M.Bison, Rose, and Rufus.

Gamertag: KmanDaShiz

Level of Play: With Yang low.

Why did you choose yang?
Cos I was thinking of a secondary to choose since I only play one character seriously atm. Yang seemed like a pretty cool addition to the game, so I thought why not!

What you hope to achieve?

To become a solid player with Yang and to improve as a player in general.

What other characters do you play?

Only Cody, play a bit of Guile and I’m considering learning Akuma and Dhalsim atm.

Gamer tag: Depraved_Heart
Level of Play: Very Low with Yang, Mid-High with Guile

Why did you choose yang? We share the same name.

What you hope to achieve? To be as good at Yang as I am at Guile.

What other characters do you play? Guile. (I was once the 16th ranked Guile on XBL and I never rage quit.)

I just can’t believe how much I suck with Yang. It goes against my years of experience using Guile. (mained Guile ever since SFII). I thought the general experience would transfer over but…alas, that’s not the case. I can’t even get past 700 player points. I was around 4000 with Guile.

Gamer tag/PSN: cheesedoodles408

Level of Play: I jsut play casuals and stuff

Why did you choose yang? He looks awesome

What you hope to achieve? I want to be good enough to play in tourneys

What other characters do you play? balrog and juri

PSN:XenoAngel

Level of Play: Low

Why did you choose yang? I thought he was a pretty cool character when I first saw him. I also like how he a bit more easier then ibuki is. mentis slashes are awesome and addicting.

What you hope to achieve? To At least do somewhat well, and master him. Understand my character more then I did with ibuki.

What other characters do you play? in my super days, I played a lot of Ken and ibuki. However, I broke out and learn the game…somewhat… I end up sticking with ibuki. I loved her mix ups :smiley:

Ps: I am pad player and yet to understand OS…I only know how to Tech Throws, but not very well.

Gamer tag/PSN: Angrynord (PSN)

Level of Play: This vastly depends on the character and the game. I’ve been playing SF for about 20 years, and I’m around upper-mid in ability. I just started Yang in SFIV, so I’m a little shaky, but not too bad, as I played him in 3S.

Why did you choose yang? I always run at least two characters in any game I play, and seeing as how Yang was one of my favorites from 3S, and I wanted to pick up a new secondary character…it was only natural.

What you hope to achieve? Mastery of the ins and outs of this character. Hopefully make some contributions.

What other characters do you play? I also played Gen and Akuma in vanilla and super, and bust them out every now and again. And of course I also play Dictator, and have been for close to two decade now.

Edit:
Gamertag: InsaneYami (windows live ID for computer version)

**Level of Play: **Low, nearly laughably low

**Why did you choose yang? ** I used to main as Cody, so I’m sort of used to rush down a bit. Yang was enticing to me compared to the other new comers. Also, I’m a bit of a Bosch fan (the VA) ^^;

What you hope to achieve? Almost crazily, I wanna be one of the best Yang players.

**What other characters do you play? (Will be great for learning match-ups) **Yun, E. Ryu, may play Cody and Juri more.

X360: Illinfoakillin, PS3: IllinFoAKillin

Level of Play: Low

Why did you choose yang?: I main Cammy, but I’m picking up Yang as my alt since they’re both rushdown characters…except yang isn’t punishable on every special like cammy lol.

What you hope to achieve?: Practice hard and see how good I can get

What other characters do you play?: Cammy

Add me and I’m down to practice anytime! (^_^)

XBL: Gesellschaft

Level of Play: Low

Why did you choose Yang?
I never really played vanilla or super, and in AE when I saw Yang I fell in love, his style is sexy and design-wise I love him.
I enjoy Yun’s playstyle as well, but his hat is ugly omg, and I enjoyed Yang more anyways.

What you hope to achieve?
Top 8 at CanadaCup2 :3
(I got a long road ahead of me D:)

What other characters do you play?
Cammy was my ‘main’ in super, and in this game I would consider her a strong sub/alt-main. However with that said I’m bad with her too x3. I need to hit the lab with her as well as Yang, but those 2 are my main interests.
In the future I’m looking at checking out Viper (Execution isn’t an issue for me), and Ibuki.

Gamer tag/PSN:
GT: Munchi Rok / PSN: Mun-ChiSRK

Level of Play:
Mid working on getting to high level

Why did you choose yang?
I love the mixup and pressure he has… seems to have good footsies (which im working on getting stronger in) …he seems well rounded also

What you hope to achieve?
To get better with him and learn even more about the game. Win tourneys!

What other characters do you play?
Makoto is my main (since Super i used her but never got the experience needed…if that makes sense) im working on her always, my Fuerte is a bit stronger because i used him since vanilla and i got a TON of experience with him

Hope to meet great players to learn and trade info with!!

I really don’t mind having these sort of topics if they’re supported, but we have three of these. Which one’s the most active and supported?

Gamer tag/PSN:
PSN:CHIMAsamune

Level of Play: (Example: High Level)
I feel like I’m at the bottom

Why did you choose yang?
I wanted a dive kick but I hate the design of Rufus and I liked what I saw of Yang more than Yun when watching AE matches before it came out on console.

What you hope to achieve?
First I want to ensure that I am comfortably the best at my school. Then I’ll move on from there. I also just want to make friends who actually know how to play fighting games.

What other characters do you play? (Will be great for learning match-ups)
I used to main Ibuki in super and I switched to Chun half way through. They are both a little rusty right now but I’ll get back to work on them later.

Gamer tag/PSN: StrandedBigMac

Level of Play: (Example: High Level)

Why did you choose yang?
I like his fighting style and his character design is way better than Yun.
What you hope to achieve?
Just getting better with Yang lol.

Cammy

Hey everyone! :slight_smile:

XBL Gamertag: CH_Cypher

Level of Play:
As much as two days’ training is worth. At least I got one bnb down.

Why did you choose yang?

Well when I was a kid I was not allowed to play videogames (the whole videogames-melt-your-brain phobia), but I always bought magazines about them. I saw a picture of Yang on one of them and thought (given the fact that I was into inline skating back then) “How cool would it be if I could play this game and this character”. Roughly twelve years later, here we are :smiley:

** What you hope to achieve?**

  1. Personal Improvement. Fighting Games have been my favourite genre ever since I played my first (Primal Rage, yay).

  2. I am trying to form a Fighting Game community for my country (Greece), so I need my skills to be on par with whoever might come my way.

What other characters do you play?

Ken, but haven’t played for a while.

P.S. : I will be out of town some days, so if you invite me and I do not accept, do not be disheartened. I would prefer European players though, given that there would be less lag involved.

**Gamer Tag: **thegodvicious(PC)

**Level of Play: **midlevel i guess

Other Characters: Yun, Fei-long, Ken, Sagat.
