Yeah, it seems like the emphasis is random pokes for them, with a side of command grabs.
I like referring to myself as “everyone” along the lines of the royal “We”, because I’m just that conceited.
And really, this is something that isn’t noticeable until you spend time away from it all. In the circle it’s hilarious, outside it’s like a bunch of girls giggling to themselves in the corner.
Gief does get back in after a command grab. If it were any easier he’d be like, the best in the game. His wake up game, pokes, green hand and lariat would make him inescapable if he was just like, right next to you after an SPD. I dunno much about grapplers in other games… But trust me, there is no fucking way it would work in this game. You do get a mix up, it just isn’t usually another entirely 50/50 jump in mix-up, which is a flaming demon hell nightmare for most of the cast. As it is now, it is a risk to anything after Gief knocks you down, with U2.
He’s very much enough of a grappler in SF4. Next time you’re watching a Ryu play, check the distance of low forward. That’s about your max spd range, without the help of grabbing their moves. Also SPD does amazing damage.
I miss CS, but I hardly miss ESEA pugs.
We should play sometime.
this made me smirk ever so slighly:
They forgot to mention all that still loses to j.lk …
I see some Giefs/Hawks do that and it does work, it’s the patient way to play, but it isn’t the only way to play. You are going to use those pokes, much like any other character, but the idea behind them IMO is not to do damage with them but to try and educate your opponent to playing the way you want them to. The game plan normally against the grapplers is to get the fuck out of there so as a grappler you must use your moves to make them believe that getting out is going to be bad for them like using your pokes to catch their jumps and backdashes. Once they realize that what they were doing wasn’t working and they get flustered then the throws come into play. And yeah Hawk’s lp. spd is what you should use as you are right next to them afterwards and have you seen Gief’s mixup after an U1, EX SPD, kick grab, sweep, or green hand knockdown? If he could do that after one spd he would be the most broken piece of shit in a game ever.
AWA was pretty awesome for sure. Their free play arcade room was cool! They had some old school games like the TMNT beat em up, and some good fighters (mvc2,cvs2, and a street fighter game…not sure which one) that had link play, my favorites though were the music games. They had drum mania, guitar freaks, and pop n music. Its a shame Pop n Music controllers are so expensive or I’d be all over that.
Chris, next time you will have to come with us!
I rather be the dude in circle than that guy at dinner alone, and is wondering if that group of girls in laughing at him or not

I have an arcade-sized controller that I could sell you. It’s kinda loud but it works perfectly (Ransai ASC Kagura). Send me a PM if you’re interested.
Yeah ESEA pugs full of whiny kids that think they’re hot shit, but afaik the competitive scene has kind of died out…if you look at how many teams are in CEVO compared to before it’s sad. I guess I could troll around in a pub or awp_map for a bit though, I gotta reinstall.
EDIT: Hey maybe I was wrong, I checked the ESEA league and EG is still playing along with a lot of other teams.
I dunno, Nemmy looks like he can be very good w/ the right assist and all (then again that can be said about everyone). Also remember, everyone said Hulk was gonna suck when Marvel 3 was released…now everyone just out right hates playing against him now. So who knows.
Yep, nobody wants to be you, either.

I wish I could play a damn game for more than 45 minutes. Too much schoolwork and stick work keeping me busy. Buuuuuuuut I need to graduate, and I like to eat, so excuse me while I head to the campus and process some images. -_-
edit: Have some audio of the GootecksXMike Ross erotic fanfic!
Walk up Jab is his best move. It sticks out for awhile and has very good reach. You can choose to do Jab electricity, jab-Grab, jab-Low MK, KKK towards, Grab.
His anti-airs are Standing HK and crouching MP. Crouching MP doesn’t work as well as it used to but works against certain jump ins (had to do with his hit box being smaller while doing but doesn’t work as well now because they changed the box). Another instant anti air is Neutral Jumping FP, works well on almost anyone.
Ground game jump ins or mix up, jumping MK is always best cross up, stand jab into whatever, jumping into with MP is good as the angle of it hits lots of things.
Standing close MK and MP are good frame delay moves that you can go into electricity are are hard to reverse. You already know EX Electricity is an amazing reversal. The active frame on Jab punch is good enough to be used as anti air sometimes but standing HK is your best bet and must be timed on the hit box (yes it hits Yun’s dive kick)
Anything related to creating a wall with jumping neutral MK and HK are good up close…
The only balls (B-F and Punch) moves that are safe on “most” moves are EX ball and LP Ball. MP and HP can be hit by almost anything now, LP ball gets hit by projectile reversals on block. LP ball is good to get in close and chew (which you know),
knockdown game:
any knockdown (even after grab) wait and use LP ball (into electricity or EX elec, can be reversaled but hard and usually timing for opponent to block can be backwards)
wait and use MP ball to appear on other side and sweep on wake up (crouching HK)
dash up at opponent and cross up into chew or KKK, KKK to chew, or walk jab, pause counter strategies
Best basic combo up close (which you know) Jump in whatever, crouch short, stand Jab, Ball
Also on knockdown, MK Rainbow Ball or HK Rainbow Ball cross up depending on player, but can be blocked, somewhat gimmicky.
Wake up game: EX Up Ball, LP Up Ball or EX Elec all work well.
Best setups for chew involve missed LP ball to land in front, any KKK dash to Chew, crouch LK to chew, close stand LP to chew, etc
Be wary when using crouching FP, it works but even on HIT it can be hit back depending on character, be wary with stand FP as well, both are slow and should be used sparingly but crouch FP works from distance as poke.
Stand MP sometimes may be only thing you can punish with if up close and not charged because of slow speed of other moves…
If you need specific character question info, just let me know…all of this stuff works really well for me
When’s the next tournament in Memphis? I know I’m not the best of pals with everyone, but I’d like to show and help out if it’s needed. :3
I’m working on a projected tourney for December. I may have it at the last venue we used, but there’s another place I’m also looking into.
Any prospects for modding? I kinda can’t go anywhere these days unless I’m working on sticks. -_- That, and I’d really like to be able to go to at least ONE Memphis gathering before I have to say farewell when I graduate and move in December, wherever that takes me…
It’s still in the works, I’ll let you know when I have more details finalized.
Oh my fucking god WHY WOULD YOU POST THIS?
FUCK.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
