New Tennessee Thread: Put the Ball in the Hole

Try parrying universal overheads and hurricane kicks into Megaton Press too,
I think something like that is in the trial

For real. “Man, fuck AE Yun is so over powered. Imma go play 3rd Strike instead!” lol

Who’s hosting tomorrow???

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Necro should be your dream character.

Hands off Oro, he’s mine!

Fixed

My main’s got an 8-2 matchup with Chun…I’m not complaining though, cause it feels awesome when you beat her.

Yun is mega bullshit but only at higher levels, he’s hard to play.

Ken I don’t have a problem with.

I might … I’ll let you guys know later tonight …

There WILL be an SF4 setup without question … you guys can bring whatever else you want, but I’m only playing SF4 for upcoming tourneys …

LOL,Most ppl here will quit 3s before the fall begins. Welcome to a REAL man’s game! No shortcuts,no mash ultras that do 45% of your life,etc,etc. Welcome precise execution,faster movement and speed,more mixups,parries,unblockables,1 hit kills,yun,ken,makoto,urien,chun,etc and you have a game that will piss you off to no end once you realize you can’t do shit about it lmao! Gotta love 3s! Now if only mvc2 would make a return i would be set to go.

Good games to all at hastings this past weds and a surprising turn out for the first 3s tourney held. I see potential in some already as long as they actually stick with the game and play and also a nice variety of characters.

Here are the full results…17 entrants total

1-DGA Gdlk Rushdown-Donkey kong/Ken
2-Woot-Chun
3-DGA BossBishop-Yang
4-Kinetik-Remi/Akuma
5-Severin-Ken
5-Thrillaman-Necro
7-Rukus-Hugo
7-BlackMarn-Dudley/Yun
9-Sunstone-Akuma
9-SRKFADC-Akuma
9-BasdGod-Ryu
9-Cartman-Yun/Akuma
13-Wes-Ken
13-JC-Alex
13-Ernie-Q/Hugo
13-Burkecash-Elena
17-Rob-???

I think sunstone recorded the winners finals and grand finals so they should be up soon.

Lolol.

But fa sho…come 2012…cody finna dump off in some niggas. Word is bond b. I’m talkin 5 Zeus slaps outta 5. Tone out.

Lolol who entered the memph 3s tourney as based god? Hahah

Let that boy cook.

Awww maannnn. I was hoping it was like, you know not a real man’s game so that I could play. Oh well… I guess I’m not hxc enough for real men’s games, because everyone that plays SF4 sucks amirite lol. i can’t deal with backing up to full screen, both players building a meter, then first person to land a low forward takes 45%. i need 45% ultra mash help me jason

Lol wow. Most of you are basing your experiences off of Wednesday’s $1 tourney. With the other people who played 3s not being in attendance or even knowing Hastings exists. Also Gene should be flash chopped. If for some reason Jose didn’t win, then it would’ve been a dark day for TN scene. Even if Bishop won with Ibuki or some shit it still would’ve been fucked up and cast a dark cloud over this city.

If some of you didn’t hear part of my random rants, then check this. This game is 10 years old. Please believe that none of you aren’t going to come in here off a re-release and change anything. It’s been written in stone, besides some charas that moved up in tiers but that too happened years ago. And this shit is only if you’re playing at high level or are decent in first place.

Game is fun. It’s prob my fave SF. But I know my place. Been knowing my place. I’ll only play it with other guys who know their place. People in TN who will destroy ANYONE at Hastings also know their place.

Sorry to sound like a discouraging asswipe, but trying to play this game “seriously” after all this time is…well, maybe you can rank up online? Or go win a side tourney where random people enter and people that knew how to play years ago are being like Gene.

Of course, if you took out a shitload of time to learn the game and matchups against other calibur players and be an evolved version of 10x, then sure you’ll be able to compete. But mainly what’s being saw is guys getting hype about an old ass game, most of the same guys who complained about tiers and matchups in SuperSF4 at one time or another. And it’s like unbelievable. While this game isn’t as “turtlely”, you still gotta have spacing, pokes, and execution(which we see now is a bigger issue than it’s supposed to be lol). Then you can go and be like…WELL AT LEAST I GOT PARRY!! True. But you ever been on the wrong side of a parry? Like when people are counting on you to parry? So you parry move and get super’ed, or you parry one of my moves that I can cancel into special and so you parry move and special hits you? So now you’re like wtf and all depressed and then I can move in do mixups.

So basically game has shit that you JUST HAVE TO KNOW to compete. Coupled with fact that certain characters have easier time than others due to better set-ups, offensive mixup attempts, better supers, better specials, beastly normals that they can use in conjunction to certain setups, or even having real combos at all, etc., etc,

And half of this shit is stuff I had to research or come across when the damn game came out on Dreamcast, and I created SRK account a year later after watching shitty quality vids, and before I even knew anyone who still exists in this scene, and I magically thought I was going to Evo one day based on how bad I beat my friends and motherfuckers at Hickory Ridge and Mall of Memphis but I wasn’t even going to Fun Fair then. This stuff existed then.

Don’t let that SRK front page shit fool you into thinking you’re gonna have some new TEK-NAW-LO-GEE. No way.

EDIT: I’m going to try to get in touch with some people to come to Hastings next wednesday. Sean’s House people. Then gonna see how many of you still like the game. And the reasons why these particular fools didn’t even want to compete in it. It’s gonna be like a fucked up episode of Scared Straight.

Lol,not necessarily. But a lot of players that started off with sf4 and are or think they hot shit suck balls at most fighting games before it because they realize how not so simple those games are to play. still hella fun tho. I have to practice a lot now just to get my groove back doing charge partition set ups lol damn 3s!

By the way, there are shortcuts in 3S. Try riding the bottom of the gate on your stick for a shoryuken. It works. They’re definitely not as lenient as 4 though. Whether or not that was in the arcade, I couldnt tell you but I’m assuming it was?

And believe me, I have no misconceptions about this game. Im not playing thinking Im going to become KING SHIT at it, Ill probably never enter a tournament for it, I just want to learn some shit. I just want to hit someone with TTH, maybe setup an unblockable, thats it. Its like I finally see that theres a charge character that I care about, and now that other people might be playing it semi-regularly this is a good chance to learn.

And Mike you know these folks just don’t know! Just tell Jay,Powder toastman,and Mikey to come by and watch the saltiness and depression fill the air lol.

Lol I was over Rell’s yesterday during work. He said somebody should’ve called Powder Toast Man up there. Or kidnapped Jay and brought him against his will. Smh…

I’ll be totally honest. I bought 3SO, I will probably play it online for a while, but ultimately, it’s not the game for me. For many of the reasons you mentioned. It’s way old, the tourney scene for it has died down, I suck at the inputs needed etc.

I still think it’s a beautiful game from as aesthetic standpoint. The animations and sprites are gorgeous, and the sound is great.I love watching the game in action, especially when certain characters are on the screen.

Will I drop SF4 games? Not a chance. For better or worse, I understand that engine better and I play it better. Plus I enjoy the style of the character I main.

I will still put some effort into learning Hugo and prolly Alex, and I will look for fellow scrubs online and play low-skill matches with maybe 3 parries per match. All I want is to maybe master the inputs so I can spd when I want, but I have no illusions about playing it seriously at a high level.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure a lot of people are just learning 3S for fun. You would have to be an absolute idiot to try and play it seriously against people who have played it for 10 years.

Nah brah. Codys been my favorite sf character since sf 1. But really all he got were some very deserved buffs due to how bad he is in ae.
