yeah i think i definitely will join in. Anthony can you link me the vid you saw of akuma doin rh loop in ssf4? i can’t find it anywhere.


Theres the full story I read with the YouTube video embedded…he does it on Sagat while cornering him so it may be more situational now

This won’t be a very busy week for me (i think), so I should be able to play whenever, let me know what time works for you guys

Muncie stuff sounds fun, I’ld be willing to drive down

jmcrofts , thought you might like to see my latest vs. viper session

@toni0z I’m pretty much gonna be on school lockdown all week, so I won’t be able to play until this weekend

@cheezface immortal thanks for the invite, that sounds awesome. I’d definitely be interested in going if someone will carpool with me

@venomish thanks for the link, but I actually haven’t played viper in ages. I’m back on the chun wagon now!

yo got yourself chun viper matchup either ways then :smiley: win win situation

good point! That matchup ain’t easy!

Damn, I missed the last session. I don’t check these boards enough ;[

I’ve gotten quite a bit more practice with controllers, been playing Sakura a lot lately ^^ planning any get togethers soon jmcrofts?

maybe a session this weekend, we’ll see.

wow a sakura player! were you the el fuerte player @ anthony’s last time? I wanna play the two chuns @ purdue again i got the bnb sweep down on her now

The ELF player from last time is named Warhippy on SRK, more Purdue SF players! :slight_smile:
I want more matches too, facing good Chun-Lis is such good practice for me because they force me to rely on Gen-footsies to get damage
I can host later this week but it would probably give us more space if we did it somewhere else

i want to play Sat. My fail bison must fail more.

I want to start taking Ryu and Fei Long seriously, expand my horizons beyond Gen a bit

i have a feeling your ryu would be scary, fei too. i feel so spoiled to be playing akuma, hes so good.

i wanna start playing tvc and mb, but it looks expensive to do, the least expensive method for me would be to mod my ps2 for ~20$ and then mod my stick for a crap load more, and then mb is 60$… wtf. buying imported games is the biggest ripoff in the world.

Nah I’ve only come to Hillenbrand once for like an hour or so, I played Vega.

How dare you take Ryu seriously, what happened to only spamming fadc ultras.

I want cody and makoto now please.

I want to practice with a character who plays fundamentals in all situations
And I’ll probably be playing him more in SSF4 then vanilla since it looks like he’ll be a lot more balanced then

And I want to try Juri, Adon, and Guy…but I need to get my PS3 repaired first!

if you want to play a character that relies on strong fundamentals, I’d avoid Fei Long. He needs to do a lot of footsies and poking for sure, but they’re so garbage it’s not really worth the effort IMO.

If you ask me, the most fundamental characters in the game are, in no particular order
ryu
balrog
chun li
Bison
Zangief (lol)

Chun and Ryu focus a little more on zoning while bison and gief focus more on pressure, but when it comes down to it all of those characters rely on their pokes and ground game and you can’t get by on gimmicks and tricks like with some characters like Viper or Abel.

AAAAnyway, I’d be happy to host SF4 this saturday. I think that we should run the single setup winner stays thing we had going at the end of the last one, I feel like we all played better when there was some hype surrounding the matches and it felt there was a reason to play your best.

I was talking about why I want to practice Ryu with the fundamentals thing, he seems like a good character to practice all-around skills with…he has really strong basic options in all situations but nothing gimmicky or specialized really
I just like Fei Long’s fighting style in general, same reason I play Gen (other then that hes an awesome old man)

And Saturday sounds good, I agree on the winner stays thing

Also…does anyone know a place around town where they can diagnose/repair problems with PS3s? I’m hoping I can find something cheaper then sending it in to Sony

anthony, might wanna go here for ur ps3: [media=youtube]3zwGFKMj77Y[/media] :slight_smile:

yeah i agree on the winner stays station too!!

oh yeah!!!
