North Carolina Players XXIV: What's in your SF4 syllabus?

I’m thinking of picking up Rose as my main as well, it’s always been Ryu/Ken in most games, trying to switch it up a bit. Is it true that Rose sucks in this game?

Sorry, can’t go. I’ll be in Charlotte that weekend. :frowning:

Thx bro, good meeting you a while back, didn’t know you’re in the 2D community too.

My prediction for SF4 top 3 this weekend, in no particular order:

Jabroni Kenshin, Frank the Tank, Knuckledust

We should do like Eric V did that one time, and make 1$ bets and whoever gets the closets prediction takes the pot.

I work from 12:30pm to 9:00pm M-F. I might be able to do something tomorrow night or thursday night.

GG’s tonight Darrell. We’ll do it again soon. That reset is too good.

Shoot me your name and cell #, and I’ll give you a call either tomorrow or Thu.

No, we’re all under 14 years old and we only play Street Fighter games.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to RE5 myself, but this is a fighting game forum, so we’re talking about fighting games. Makes sense.

Yep.

Just my luck <_< .

Ok so my car won’t be here in time for lucky’s (not surprised) so driving myself is out of the question. I already tried to ask Matt and Brent and from their end it’s pretty much impossible. I hate bumming rides, but it looks like I’ll have to for Lucky’s this weekend so if anyone is passing by Goldsboro for Lucky’s I’d really appreciate if I could hitch a ride with someone.

I get paid the day before Lucky’s so paying whoever back isn’t a issue here.

sigh :coffee:

say what?!

really man, I’m just joking. Unless it’s advice about a game, tournament info or about a gathering you shouldn’t take anything on this thread serious. For example:

Last night I played “your mom”, I beat it in 30 minutes, then she got on top and beat me, then I bent her over the bag lunch she made for you this morning and beat it again. I think I got an XBL achievement during that one. and after that I dropped trow and took a shit in your Cheerios while I put my High School Diploma on my mantle while my REAL girlfriend, your mom, your grandmother and your unborn daughter auditioned for a bukaki video.

P.S. arstal’s last post made the news!! (first 30 seconds)

anyone from Hickory? if so, let me know

btw, e-play is suppose to have a SF4 tourny soon, where sticks are welcomed instead of the lame Gamestop tourney where ppl couldnt use sticks.

me and drunken monkey are from the hickory area

So is Gouken tournament legal? This guy seems ridiculous after reading about his good AA option he’s got and a kara throw to make that back throw easier to land.

This guy will be in SSS+++ tier eventually, just give it time.

He’s good but he is far from broken. It’s not like he is Sagat or anything.

His throws are more threatening than zangeif, his fireballs do pretty good damage and can compete with sagats, he can AA you with the fireball into focus dash -> ultra, he’s got great pokes, safe special dash punch that easily hit confirms into super, counters, his demon flip has the option to block from it, meaning land into backthrow if they don’t do anything, he’s got a kara throw (nothing too crazy on the range though), his combos HURT. Apparently his 2HP is really easy brain dead anti air. What more could you want in a character?

Plus he’s gonna get 1-2 ultras every round and all he needs is 2 ultras to kill you, so basically 2 throws after beating his ass all round and you lose. And you can’t just throw fireballs at him because he can focus backdash cancel the fireballs to build meter, which is NOT what you want him to do.

Maybe not broke but he seems damn good. As I said just give it time, and we can see where he ends up.

There’s nothing about Gouken that says he’s anywhere near the established top characters. His low fierce is okay at best for AA, as it’s horizontal angle makes it lose to quite a few jumpins for free (For example, everything Gief does wins against it). When your main source of damage is a techable throw into ultra and you bleed like Akuma, then you won’t be top tier. Competitive, yes; pretty much everyone is except Dan, Cammy, Rose, and maybe Gen. Top tier? Not a chance.

All the characters I like are terrible lol.

Well…maybe a shitty, no combos Viper or something. Claw seems cool. Think I’ll try out some more peeps tonight. Surprising lack of Chun in the list…and she has fireballs…hm.

Ryu > Gouken.

Seriously, Gouken has flashy combos and that’s about it.

Gouken may be beast. . but Seth continues to disappoint,by the time he can even use an ultra he’s usually about to die. . .and any lead he gets doesn’t matter cause if he gets hit. . the bastard is fucked.

but I suck so that just may be me. . .

Ill give you ups for that last quote… but how did you know I have another daughter on the way?..seriously she is due in May…

I knew you were joking, so was I, i also know this is a fighting game forum i thought id toss a curve ball in there…i like your sense of humor though really, so much I think I won’t burn your house down or piss on your bones and steal your soul:lovin:
