I’m just curious, Tony. Have you ever played sports in High school or any type of competitive game before SF4?
I ran track and played a little basketball in high school, but it was cut short due to having asthma. I heavily played SF2T and MK2/3 in the early 90s (competitively even, learning/getting schooled by the likes of the great Jason Wilson). I even played and ranked pretty high nationally in the first ever video game modem which came out for the SNES and Genesis in 1995, known as XBAND (my xband tag back then was SouL SteaLer X). From there, my interest in gaming waned until the Tony Hawk and GTA series came out a decade or so later. SF4 was my return to competitive fighting. I sense this is going to work into a fighting game matchup breakdown for some reason. 
Note: I was not criticizing anybody’s 6-4 this or 5-5 that, I was just saying I think it’s too early to dispute for sure what the matchups are gonna be at this point. Also, and this applies to current tier charts for any fighting game, does anybody fully agree with the tier charts? I’ll use Sim as an example, as he’s my “main.” It shows Sim having a 7-3 advantage over Guile. False. It also shows that Cammy has a 6-4 advantage, and every Sim player KNOWS that it’s 7-3 Cammy.
I understand that the charts are comparing 2 players of ‘comparable strength/skill,’ and therein is where lies so many of the misconceptions of the numbers.
Looking back, I kinda wish I’d have had more interest in 3S, it was just so different initially, that I was put off and didn’t bother learning the game.
And Jebailey…
Jemaniacs > Jeciples.
No contest.
No, this is not about match-up or SF4 for that matter. I’m trying to understand who you are as a person. Just clearly up some faulty assumption, that’s all.
@tony, enter the void is on Netflix for streaming. i’ma watch today since my copy of dexter doesn’t come in until tomorrow.Let me know what you think.
@Shusty - fair enough =)
@Edgar - good shit, man!!! It was just released, I’m surprised it went to Instant View so quickly. I’ll definitely give you my review on it. Another good movie was just added to Instant View — Gang Tapes. 2001 indie flick. Good shit.
@any horror movie fan — I (finally) watched The Hills Run Red last night. Definitely recommend it! Much, much better than your average straight-to-DVD horror fare. Plenty of solid gore and death scenes, an above average demented killer, and a hot chick who doesn’t mind getting topless. Often.
Yo whats up Jason its Lord, you in Orlando?
I think you guys are really underrating Fei. As if Rekka pressure isn’t strong enough in this game, he’s got amazing pokes and huge damage with just 2 bars. Teleports/Vega’s backflips get owned by OS rekkas too, even in blockstrings (try c.LK, qcf+LP, c.LP).
Though I do agree Claw’s c.MP might give him problems. I’m surprised you guys haven’t mentioned Honda and Balrog yet, they kinda stick out like sore thumbs when talking about Fei’s bad MUs.
And why are you guys jumping on the Ken bandwagon now? We all agreed on the FB page that I’m the best masher in FL, bar none. Winning? Who cares about that anyways? 
beat me to it…
I can’t hear the rimshot thanks to Google Chrome. 
Shit, I was seriously contemplating hitting up Nestor’s tonight (provided he’s hosting) — but I always seem to forget that Thursday is my crazy ass 14 1/2 hour shift while OT is available 
I was going to hit up Nestor’s tonight, but that was before I realized the Spurs play Lakers tonight @ 10:30. I’ll be at either Buffalo Wild Wings or the Tilt tonight to watch the game.
If Nestor’s is still going on after, then I’ll swing through.
So I have limited time in Orlando. Is it possible to get casuals set up for Friday?
me and nestor are hosting today at 7 or 730 or whatever. we have the 2 tvs and one setup with 2 360 sticks. bring whatever and set it up have a good time. everyone is welcome and newcomers encouraged.
