Korea Thread - SF, Chicken, and Beer

haha i was on the way to dong bang but my “girlfriend” called and gave me the OK to go to her house. so i’m just gonna chill here til around 8-9 and prolly go home after hahaha

fuck i wouldn’t say i’m whipped cuz i’d prefer chilling with her over videogames… but if i weren’t myself, i’d say i was whipped!

Hey, so who all is going this Sunday? So far, I am still going. How will I know who is who? Hahaha. I’m going to try to get there early to get a few games in. I don’t know what time though. It kind of depends on if I get lost or not, haha. This will be the first time I’ve ever actually gone pretty far outside of Anjung.

I’ll try to send some of you PM’s.

are any of us teachers ACTUALLY caucasian or black?

i’m chinese

i blend right the fuck in haha

and so does laugh. but he does look a little more white washed than the average fobby korean haha although in reality, WE"RE the fobs!

I’m half Korean. I do look more white though. I don’t think you could even tell that I am half Korean if you saw me, hahaha.

I’m heading out right now to head to Isu Theme park. I got nothing to do today so I thought I would try to get over there. Better to learn today rather than learn tomorrow, haha. If anyone wants to meet up just give me a call (010-8639-3116).

I’ll be there in about two hours. Takes a while to get there from Anjung.

Exploit that F visa :wink:

well, i was on a plane for LA when you posted that, tao, so maybe it was for the best that you couldn’t make it today. i would have liked to have told them that you’re coming if you really were. good thing you’re whipped! heh

i think one of our best players is moving to busan soon, though. dammit. busan seems to have all the best players. who’s up for a SF trip to busan in the spring?

Just got back from Isu. I saw Pinto there. That was pretty nice to meet some people. I am pretty horrible on these Korean sticks, hahaha. I also have no idea how to play Sagat. I just got to keep playing though.

I’ll see you guys tomorrow. Well, I will see whoever shows up the tourney tomorrow :stuck_out_tongue:

busan?? isn’t that like 6 hours or something away from seoul?? i’m down for a road trip! i used to drive/bus down to seattle for marvel action back in 2001

happy pencil. haha i’ll try to talk to the whitest looking guy at the tournament tomorrow. if it isn’t you… i’m gonna like… STOP cuz i’ll feel retarded going “hi, are you happypencil?”

fuck

haha

Haha, I shouldn’t be too hard to spot. I will probably be the only one that has gel in his hair :stuck_out_tongue:

It was cool meeting all you guys. Hopefully I can meet eoneo sometime. I hope I can get better at the game. I am pretty much terrible right now, haha. Laugh, I’ll post back with the videos soon, hopefully.

laugh. please don’t lose any more matches you should win haha that 10,000 won was MINE!

great tourney. i loved the format and having an announcer. AND having my matches put on live stream!!! what’s the website? can my friends from canada watch matches too? aside from the single elim format and there only being 8 people. it was a great tournament i think. VERY smooth. and koreans are very very courteous. even pyongko who after beating looked like “i knew that flukey guy wasn’t that good, got my revenge” but when i wanted to shake his hand he gave a cute little smile hahahaha and shook my hand

VERY very impressed by pyongko. fuck, even the ryu guy that he beat impressed the fuck outta me.

korean players are PURE rushdown. all except laugh. i think you play more like me haha very… safe and defensive (even though i tend to rush down cuz i have no patience)
that’s prolly why you lost to the blanka. you didn’t turtle enough and jumped up only to be up blanka balled. you’ll win the next time i’m sure!

happy pencil and pintosaur, you guys are pretty good for having minimal gaming experience. pretty solid basics. but you guys are also from cali hahaha it was nice meeting you all too.

it’s a little gay in korea cuz i’ve never been 5 minutes away from my local arcade. having to travel for over an hour to getting decent competition is pretty lame haha makes you have to plan out your gaming day instead of just going on a whim.

i no longer want to money match pyongko. haha first, i gotta try to take a round off of fucking ryan

fuck you laugh

hahahaha

fuck you and your bilingualism!!!

Tao, if you want your matches - I have them. I uploaded them to megaupload for download. I can send you the links if you want.

I will be putting the matches on youtube soon as well.

[edit]actually, if you don’t want the matches on youtube, just let me know. that goes for laugh and pintosaur too.[/edit]

Haha, I was going to do that, but I am on a mac and I don’t have any software to zip files up yet :stuck_out_tongue: I need to get on that. Tao, I’ll send you your videos soon. Or I’ll just send you all the videos I have.

haha, i am very interested in looking at how tao does at the tournament. is it ok if i get a hold of the videos too? thank you. from what i heard, it doesnt seem like too much people use sagat in korea lol.

hey, it was nice meeting all of you. and tao, based on watching you and laugh play, i don’t think he’s that much better. you had a pretty solid run with bison before the tourney

anyway, i hope there are more of these things and i can improve my game and learn some other characters. I think my gief and abel are a little too limiting.

anyone heading out to any places tomorrow? i’m thinking of going to isu or dong bang tmr if anyone else goes.

oh shit, happy pencil aka… jeff right?? dude i want the vids! put them on youtube, might as well if you have the time. i was gonna do it if you didn’t feel like it anyway haha. i’m not the type of guy to only put up matches where i win haha that’s being cowardly in a way. what size are the vids anyway?? i wonder if i can tape matches on MY camera… i have no idea how large the vids end up being

laugh… haha there’s a lot of things that you do that COMPLETELY shuts down my game. one of them is chun’s JAB. the jab for some reason shuts down my tick throws completely. i’m not sure if it’s cuz i’m doing it too slowly or if the jab simply is that good. boxer also has an AMAZING jab. and another thing is you play footsies. and i like to jump haha. anyway, the akuma match which is on video is just me being a huge scrub. but your chun is VERY good at beating the shit out of my bison. and i think you are significantly better than me AT sf4. there’s a lot of things that i don’t do. FA backdashes, backdashes in general… crouching short to counter throw mindgames (bison doesn’t really have a good crouching short combo) and i tend to over abuse my EX specials to get out of wakeup situations. i do that a lot in every game haha. gotta practice just blocking. bison doesn’t have a special move into ultra so i’m mathematically at a disadvantage for high priority maneuvers. and his utlra fucking sucks. i can’t believe i didn’t ultra your raging demon haha shoulda just ex’d it

also, i need to practice my scissor kick traps etc. FA into backdash is REALLY good against it when you’re not in the corner. pyongko is at another level. i think he plays the game HELLA and is fucking AWESOME anyway at the game. but fucking crouching short is MONSTEROUS in the game… can’t do shit and i get stunned too easily. with sagat, at least you have uppercut into ultra. bison can’t do shit on wakeup and as long as you don’t commit to a slow move, you can REACT to my options like ex stomp (walk under) ex punchy thing (FA attack) and ex scissor kick or psycho crusher (block into combo)

sf4 is just a really fucking fast game and i can’t turtle in it. which is gay. ryu is REALLY solid i think

post up the vids haha

also, was i on live stream when i beat pyongko the first match?? i wanna be a legend haha

edit: and scrubydan from vancouver isn’t a fan of mine haha. he is currently the best in the city of vancouver where i was from. before i left, we had a best of 7 set for $1 which is like 1000 won where he beat me 4-2. i was assumed to be the 2nd best in the city before going in just cuz i was tops in third strike, cvs2, and marvel. didn’t play sf4 much but he did and watched a lot of high level vids as well as practiced to get to where he is now. we’re bound to have a rematch given that i return to vancouver and both of us still play. his recent win over jason cole in a seattle tournament really ramped up his confidence level as well as some chinese kid who lives in japan.

anyway, i say he’s disillusioned about his abilities and hope to shut him up hahahahahaha
i mean that with love, dan

(we’re actually friends haha)

hahaha thanks for the love tao, but everything u mentioned above on how to use bison is exactly opposite of what the best bison of japan would do LOL. i can teach u how to be insane with bison if u ask me lol. most of the things i know are pretty game breaking glitches that takes bison to another level, i dont share it with srk because they are usually a bitch to me LOL. ask me on msn if u wanna know tao, because i wont hvae a lot of fun destroying you when u come back with that kind of level of play LOOOOOOOOOL jk i love you hahahaha

edit: btw it sounds like ur style has not changed one bit since the last time i played u all the way back in september lol, u do realize a lot of ur moves are not safe anymore right? i know all the ways to counter what u do with big damage combos if u still pull that tricks on me lol, better level up fast tao :rofl:

Laugh, I started to upload them to youtube as well. If you can correct the names and send them to me that would be awesome. I figured I would screw up on the names. I didn’t know for sure who fought who so I really just took a stab in the dark with it :x

Dang looks like you guys had a blast!

Its getting more and more likely that I’ll be able to head down to Korea again this September. Other than the usual suspects I’m really looking forward to getting matches in with the foreigners in this thread haha. Esp you TAO I’ve heard you’re a really solid player LOL.

WTH, I just saw the recent vids from the tourney and YEA Ryan your Chun has leveled up! NICE. Was watching vids of Poonko and dang, that cat leveled up as well. But what I really liked about the Poonko vids was hearing the unmistakable commentary of Ryan hahaha. Wish I knew Korean.

lol fucking dan. i’ll reply to you in the bc thread but of course i haven’t changed my play style at all. how can i? i don’t watch videos (i would if i knew where to find them like website and name) and i barely find the time to play! i wanna learn these game breaking glitches. although i don’t know why but i REALLY think i can beat you NOW if we played haha

ryan, please post the links to the youtube vids when they’re online! i’m slightly too lazy to download via megaupload although i am SURE the quality is like significantly better

jeff: thanks so much for recording the vids man!! wish you got my first one against nuu cuz i think i only won two games the whole day hahaha

yagami: haha you’ve heard of me?? is it cuz you’re from the philippines and one of vancouver’s former players have now moved there??? that’s about all i’m gonna theorize haha. wow join date of 2000, that’s REALLY early. anyway, marvel’s my main! but i’ll play anything just to try to win. you said “cat” in your post. you’re american aren’t you??
