Off from hiatus

Hello guys. I just recently returned from my street fighter hiatus. College life has kept me busy and since I landed a job in this economy(huge sigh), it lifts a heavy burden off my back and now I can dedicate some time to street fighter again.

I stopped playing for several months. My reaction time, tactics, and execution have all gone to crap. Playing on PSN with ppl doesn’t help as I need 3 bar connections with people to not drop any inputs. I was also in the middle of converting from pad to stick and now I am a mess when I play stick.

My mains are Akuma, Balrog, and Bison, but I have some experience playing Ken and Ryu. If there’s anyone on PSN who has the patience to help me wipe off the rust and lives near or within Ohio, send me a hollah. Just an fyi, I am still in school, but I will try to play at least once or twice a week. The times I play, I’m usually on during the night. And also, there might be random slow downs during gameplay. My neighbors and I are on the same line, thus I play late at night.

I have just one question. How did you guys feel coming from vanilla to super? When I first played super, timing combos felt very odd. Maybe it was just me, but since I have been out of the scene, I thought I would ask this question.

Thanks in advance guys!

Funny I’m going through the same story… school work has drawn my interest in that and I’ve actually haven’t been tempted to play… but today I decided to play for a bit. I think I improved my reaction time playing sf2 a few times a week on my DS. I’d love to play with you, but I’m in Canada, so bun that.

Regarding your question, it’s probably from not playing for a while. I feel comfortable and calm when playing on SF2 but I freeze up in SuperIV, probably because everything looks different and is throwing off my perception.
