Joining the Red Army! For new Yang players!

Gamer tag/PSN: HitmanFaux

Level of Play: Low (I’m assuming anyway)

**Why did you choose yang? Since I never had the chance to play 3rd strike, I mainly only watched vids on youtube of characters, I really liked how Yang played in comparison to Yun and generally I’ve liked the character. So when he was announced for AE it was pretty much a insta-main.

**What you hope to achieve? **Getting to a high enough level that I can compete in local tournies and meet some local FG players. Generally just getting into the UK FG scene, maybe going head to head with one of the big names? ( a guy can dream! xP)

What other characters do you play? (Will be great for learning match-ups)

I’ve played quite a few, due to my indecisiveness in vanilla and choloate SF4. As of right now I play E.Ryu, Oni and Hakan, the latter I’m a little rusty with.

PSN: xxMustang

Level of Play: I’m a rookie. I mean I know what I’m doing but at the same time I don’t. Veryyy low.

Why did you choose yang?
He seems like a great character. I wanted Fei Long but his rekka combos are too hard. So I thought Yang would be a good place to start.

What you hope to achieve?
I would like to at least good enough to hit 2000 BP. I know BP means nothing but I just wanna feel proud of how I play. I don’t wanna be just another scrub online. I really love this game and would like to enjoy it for once.

What other characters do you play?
I can play Bison, Balrog and Guile. But they’re all pretty basics. No advanced combos from me yet.

Someone pleasee let me know. I’d like to meet a high level player who can actually teach me how to get better through MSN or something. I really am trying to get better at this game for once. I know that people say play online but… To be honest getting my ass beat over and over isn’t really helping me get better. More like discouraging me. Sigh.

Why did you choose yang?
He is fun to play with.

What do you hope to achieve?
To improve my current skills.

What other characters do you play?
I play Ryu and Fei long.

Gamer tag/PSN: underscoreblank (psn)

Level of Play: Mid-level, my execution is wonky but I’m pretty decent at strategy.

Why did you choose yang?
My friend dropped Ken to play as Yun and he was pissing me off while I was playing Ibuki, so I switched to Yang just to mess around and I really like how he handles.

What you hope to achieve?
I want to become a tournament/high-level SF4 player, with Yang as my main.

What other characters do you play? (Will be great for learning match-ups)
Back in Super I was like a 1500 PP/ 5000 BP Ibuki, but I stopped playing the game after like December (I play Super Turbo and HDR a lot more than this game, but I’m trying to get back into AE) . I’m learning Juri as a secondary right now, but I’m not very good.

Level of Play: low/mid

Why did you choose yang? I love his character design, his character as a whole to be fair. His play style is better in my opinion to Yun. This coming from me who was going to pick Yun, but I see that Yang’s style is more suited to my needs. So I’m going with him.

What you hope to achieve? To become better. The goal is to improve every match and learn from my mistakes. Becoming a very solid player with a great understanding of the character, matchups and mixups. To become tournament level.

What other characters do you play? Gen

Level of Play: Mid-High (pending on my state of mind)

Why did you choose yang? Its not yun

What other characters do you play? Cody

Gamertag: Dented Toast

Level of play: Trash. Or at the very least, I don’t do so well in general online, but people offline tell me I’m not that bad.

Why did you choose Yang? He was an insta-main for me. I was actually trying to learn him in 3S when he got announced in AE.

What do I hope to achieve? Well me and a friend of mine have been kicking around the idea of throwing a show together following our training progress all the way up to us finally going to a tourney. So doing well at whatever tournament that is sounds cool.

What other characters I play: Christ, I try playing way too many. My only other competent characters are Vega and DeeJay. I’ve recently started playing Bison and Rose a bit more as well.

PSN: JaeSpK (-or- ProjFreeNoMore (Friends List - Strictly Fighting Games))

Level of Play: Low-Mid

Why did you choose yang?
Honestly I chose him because He looks cool… and His rekkas will help my QCF execution get better … Not that I can’t do them but more than one in quick succession not so much. Also he isn’t Yun and it seems like everyone has dropped him and I like playing characters that people don’t play.

What you hope to achieve?
Nothing that I can’t with any other character but in general I Don’t use hit-confirms and regular combos … part of the reason I use Ibuki I use her Target combos ALL the time.

What other characters do you play? (Will be great for learning match-ups)
I main ibuki, and I have main’d Akuma in the past, I have played Ryu for a breif period of time (who hasn’t), I have played Guile, Hakan, Oni (Briefly), Yun (Briefly), Fei Long and Cammy back in Vanilla (when I wasn’t good at all, still not GREAT now.)

Win Tourneys.

Cammy and Dhalsim, atm.

Would like to learn how to play this game well, all opponents are much appreciated.****

**PSN: **Vivalice.

Level of Play:
Low. As in: bought the game a couple of days ago, and still having trouble with his basic links and combos.

Why did you choose yang?
Because he’s the only non-stupid looking character in this damn game. Srsly
I also like Rekka attacks. A lot.

What you hope to achieve?
Not much. Just having some fun online, and then maybe, MAYBE some day go to a tournament. Maybe.

What other characters do you play?
No one really. I like messing around with Cody because, incidentally, he’s the only other character in this game who doesn’t look like Rambo or a ninja.
Also he makes tornadoes. Tornadoes are cool.

Gamer tag/PSN: Dub. G / wgarrlnhs05 (psn)

Level of Play: Mid/High (Yang is Mid right now)

Why did you choose yang? SBO. Japanese know how to win and don’t use characters for “pride” sake. I guess you can say I sold out on this one. BUT out of the 5 top characters in Japan (Yun, Yang, Viper, Fei Long, Makoto) (you can check the col.cc SBO post interview), I chose Yang.

What you hope to achieve? To Win. More than that, to be a more technical combo based player.

What other characters do you play? T. Hawk (High), E. Honda (Mid), Dan (Mid), Sakura (Mid), Blanka (Mid), everyone else (low/mid).

Hit me up! I’m always down to play and train.

Psn: x-M4thaM4tiks-x
Level: Mid ( want to be a tournament player)
Why did you choose yang?: love mixups didn’t want to use yun
What you hope to achieve: learn combos and to make him my alternate character.
What other characters do you play? Chun-Li (Main), Ken, Akuma, Bison
