OLD UIUC 2011 Thread

Wow man, that fucking sucks. I really hope that things work out for you man, like, seriously. If you need someone to talk to, hit me up, you got my number.

And this just means you gotta play hard this Friday. Leave with a bang I’ll say. Let’s put it this way, if we’re in the finals Friday night (I mean, I know I will be haha!) then let’s give everyone a match to remember. If not, then fuck it, play your heart out, have fun, and it will be a good way to say goodbye to everyone. Good luck, and like I said, you got my number.

As far as games go, I get out of work at 4pm tonight, so I’ll be down to play. I can bring my setup where ever, just need a ride.

If there’s anything we can do to help James just let us know. Street Fighter can travel to you if need be. Best of luck man. As Scott always says “when in doubt mash it out!”

James if this turns out to be a joke I’m going to kick you in the junk.

(In a loving but no-homo kind of way).

Well, this video pretty much makes me want to quit playing street fighter: [media=youtube]G3AnluFpbkE[/media]

Yes, you saw that right, its Gief pulling Ultra 2 on Chun’s EX SBK. Now he will literally get to jump in for free all goddamn day long even when she has meter.

It also beats: SRK, Tiger Knee, Flame Kick, EX Headbutt, EX buttslam, everything Viper has, and I’m 100% sure it will also beat EX Devil’s Reverse, EX headstomp, and…well, fuck it…it will beat every one of Dictator’s escape options because he is airborne for all of them. Oh and it appears to crossup and hit even on the other side if Gief jumps over you.

Mike…dude you and I are going to have to figure out how to get around this gief bullshit or this is ALL WE WILL SEE in tourney.

James, we demand more info on your situation! >_<

Harumph! That is all.

james

worst comes to worst you’ll have me at said community college in the same town that plays sf, maybe we’ll have to raise up team blo-no to have epic matches w/team chambana

hopefully things work out for the best, i know what its like to have to leave school (there are reasons i’m 30 and in community college :frowning: )

Doh

Aprul Fuls?

(do kinda deserve a kick in the junk)

lolz

To quote one of my favorite movies The Royal Tennenbaums (slightly altered):

“No, Humbag, I dont think your an asshole. I just think your kind of a son-of-a-bitch.”

Motherfucker!

I knew it!

Don’t scare us like that mang!

:rofl:

EDIT: Did you just call me Coltrane?

Does this mean that people who have backdashes that make them airborne (most characters) will also get hit by this?

Also, im glad i didn’t check srk before james changed his post, or else i would have been sad :frowning:

Actually yeah I fear that may be the case.

If that IS the case…its going to be really really bad.

That means if Gief ever jumps in on you, you have to block and eat the mixup between lariat and SPD…or he gets free Ultra 2. At least, that is how I currently see it working.

Worse still, if they ever discover an option select for that shit…well…all I can say is that tourneys are going to suck big time.

Fuck a zangief.

No.

But if I did! You wouldnt be able to do anything about it.

You want to talk some jive??? I’ll talk some jive all night long!

Instead on dping gief with u2, just mexican uppercut him with c.hps since his u2 doesnt grab on the ground.

On wakeup itll just be a similer guessing game like his u1. If you stay on ground you get ultrad, if you jump you get larieted.

i always wondered why they call that shit a mexican uppercut in commentaries.

n e who working at the library is fun when there are 2 back to back huge power outages and all the servers and shit are down… i wonder if THIS is an april fools joke? now theres gonna be another one and everyone working on the computers is gonna lose their work… fun stuff

Cause that’s how Mexicans do an uppercut -__-

O James you’re so silly

James. I hate you.

Are we still playing games tonight or what?

I get off of work at 4, so if games are still going down, text me please.

My issue is that if U2 catches backdashes, that is going to SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

>_<

Well backdashes are technically air born so it might catch them.

Regardless, best option most of the time is to block or try to AA with a normal.

Games are still on for now. This is pending on how I feel later though. Kinda feeling sick today.
