Minnesota: Keep it Classy!

Balrog doesn’t bother me at all when playing Blanka especially if you can get him to walk towards you. I very rarely find a Balrog that makes the matchup feel like 3.5/6.5. I’d say it’s pretty close to 5/5. It could be just the fact that I have played many Rogs and know the matchup. Cammy is extremely hard for me. I think I just need to be more patient when she gets in to pressure. The other match that is hard for me is the Blanka mirror. I’ve always avoided the mirror because it’s just not as fun to play but now I realize that I need to practice it.

Definitely agreed. Blanka cannot inch up without taking a scissor kick to the face that is safe on block. I just started playing Bison and can easily beat most Blanka’s. Blanka’s mix up is not nearly as effective when an ex hand can easily escape it. As Bison, try to keep it on the ground and just push Blanka back when he try’s to move in. Blanka is not free for Bison but has to be patient to win.

hey guys,
havent been to the new location of gng, what entrance should i park @? whats the setup & rules again?
looking forward to play competitively, have fun, & learn from yall!
have a good rest of the week!

ggs to everyone i was able to play with tonight. also an EVO room update, unfortunately one of ours isn’t so sure he can go, so he gave me the thumbs up to open a slot for anyone that needs a place to stay for the weekend. james, tong, songo, hopefully you’re still committed to going. and anyone else on here planning on going to EVO and needs a cheap place to stay close to the host venue, contact me! refer someone to me! get ahold of me somehow! remember, it’s first come first serve! thanks!

@ Gene

Do you ever go up to the Den? A couple of friends of mine used to play up there alot for limited, and t1 when they still had them.

Do you know Jeremy Zwirn, Pat Tittirud?

I enjoyed the comments. Apparently, most people didn’t know just how boring Blanka matchups typically are in general :slight_smile:

Desmond, I’ve been wanting to send these videos to you. (I’ve been doing somethings and being lazy.)

  • Mike Vs Baka at RS
  • The first two matches of Baka Vs Tong at RS
  • You vs Gene at GnG
  • and Me Vs Caleb at John’s

I went to Sendspace, and I think I was suppose to send it to a email or something. I don’t know yours or how exactly this works, but fil me in. Either reply on this or I’ll give you a call.

Edit: Okay, I just uploaded one of the videos and all it has is a link.

lol! that’s too funny!

haha, this was a funny match. i remember being a bit freaked out at the end. you had the lead but got grabbed with no meter. good block james!

SSF4 Streaming happening NOW!!!

(we are currently getting raped by yanushik’s/IL RUFUS :sad: )

for some reason whenever I get an invite I alwsays get the unable to join session bs. Anyone know how to get around this, I don’t want to bypass my router everytime I play one of you guys, though for now I guess that will have to do.

The more you want to win, the more you have to turtle! Capcom should throw a crow bar in on the mirror or something just to make it interesting!

Hey guys just introducing myself to the Minnesota fighting scene.

My name is Dara and i’ve been competitively playing counter strike 1.6 for about 7 years now and have made it to the top in many different leagues(cal,cevo,esea) and placed in many different lans .

I have always been interested in the fighting scene but never really got seriously into it until i recently found out that EVO will be taking place at the same time i will be taking my vacation over at Vegas. I then thought to myself, what the heck, mind as well compete at this tournament since i’m there! So for the next 2 months i will be putting in time to at least put a fight there and not embarrass myself haha. And yesterday i have recently bought my fight stick and it feels like i’m playing a completely different game but i know it will help me out in the long run. I really hope by july that evolution will not be my first tournament and i will try to attend some local tournies if i’m able to.

Would be great if you guys added me to your xbox friends - gamertag is nhep74
