Sabin SF4 Japan Q/A - match of the day: Barfights II

Haha Reno, awesome shit man. I was working AM show all day. Shit was boring lol

Yeah, I didn’t do that good in the tourney due to Reno and Az beasting. Reno OCV’ed a team by himself on his first try. Then we lost to Uryo’s team…so yeah lol. Cantona beat all of is (the guy who I said was owning me last night.) I was going in expecting to lose but I actually had a chance to win, I just flubbed it up. First round he steamrolls me, 2nd round I stop him from advancing and take that. 3rd round he gets a early lead and I edge it down to his 15% life to my 5%…and I have super and ultra. Time is running out, 15 seconds left…hes in the corner…and what do I do? teleport into the corner and eat a SPD (instead of doing ultra.) Like I said last tournament…I hate my execution forever really =/ Oh and I recorded all of the matches so yeah dont worry. Played Uryo once, made him look free in the one game i played him so I was happy. It’s too bad I didn’t get to beat Cantona in tournament cause I really wanted to play Uryo but that’s how it goes.

Vs RF’s team, yeah RF’s team pretty much OCV’ed us. Az had a chance to win 1 round but failed to capitalize and 2nd round he just got smoked. I brought down RF to 20% and i was doing well most of the round, but i mistimed my b. rh and ate j rh into combo into ultra both rounds. Pretty much I was never in control.
I played a lot of casuals with a lot of Kansai beasts. I went 2-2 with Rikuson (top 15 Sagat in the country) he actually came up to me and said good shit so that was really nice. Beat the Grand Master Gouki again that I’ve been owning all weekend for some reason haha. Went 3-1 with CYGNUS and pretty much I held my own against most of the Kansai beasts, didnt get owned, so I’m not super salty or anything. I was just happy to play really good players.

Still, I had a lot of fun playing in the tournament, and playing casuals all day was awesome. Kindevu used nothing but Ryu this tournament BTW, he has a master Ryu already with 60k BP. Oh yeah also, I didn’t lose BP I’m at 34200 BP now or something. So close to being master! Pretty much I won a little bit more than I lost but I was unable to turn it up during my 2 tourney matches. Reno and Az are the heroes of the day they played solid as hell in tournament.

post some vids and catch up later.

he only has advantage against shotos (like Japan said in his last tier listing.)
thats pretty much it. every match feels like a uphill battle. 50% of the reason for this though is cause I’m playing nothing but masters and grandmasters.

kansai, sako? didnt play obviously…, which is too bad. havent seen any tournament vids of the guy playing sf4, like ever. only online against that desora fellow who seems pretty damn good but not all that against sako.

looking forward to your matches v that grandmaster blanka Arturo, and still enjoying the thread thx

Good shit you guys. Seemed well worth it, even if you didn’t advance.

Edit - Az plays Chun?

Man why so serious, act like you’re gonna fuckin’ cry cuz I didn’t find those matches interesting. Sabin controlled the matches majority of the time and it got old watching the blanka player go for broke with random ultras. He was pretty much stumped on what to do. At that point all I can say is “Sabin good job wrecking that Blanka player”

Get the dick out of your ass.

GOOD JOB guys! cant wait to see the matches

My hopes are really high for next year set of tournaments

Keep it up Sabin

Yo Art, i had the pleasure of watching you work weekly break tournies in the past. I been reading this thread since the beginning and i really think you should consider writing a book or some type of journal on your trip. I know, it sounds outragous, but every post i read of yours is just as informative/interesting as the last. I and many people who read this thread may not ever have the opportunity to visit japan in a lifetime and i would be more the willing to buy and read a book of someone like you that has. Just a something to think about. Thanks for taking the time to post and answering every1s questions, much appreciated.

“Crying”? “so serious”?!? I understand now why you find so many things in life so dull. Pro tip: It isn’t A.D.D as I initially thought. It especially isn’t because you are smart.

Can you guess what I am gonna tell you to pull out of your ass?

Good shit Az/Reno/Art!

GAIJINSMASH DAT ASS

I believe air is somewhere around vancouver. I got to see him play at NWM and he’spretty damn good.

Heh…you’re probably the only person that doesn’t know Az plays Chun. Back when the arcade version came out he would post a ton about his Chun and put out vids.

I agree with you…SFIV is boring to watch. :lol: Except for Viper.

Wait, is Uryo and Sako the same person?

Nah…they’re different people. There was a list made a long while ago of top Viper players and they were listed close to each other on the list (so obviously different people). Sako apparently doesn’t play at the arcades as much as Uryo but he is considered about as good.

Only thing in my ass is the shit I’m reading that you typed. You’re pissed because I don’t share the same enthusiasm as you like a fucking child who’s friend doesn’t like Power Rangers like he does. Then you project ideas of who I am based off one post I made, get real you tool.

Grow up, accept other people’s opinions or just shut the fuck up. You sound like a communist, I’m an american. In America people like you can eat a dick. =D

and before you put on your ryu headband and type up a storm. If it’s so important for you to respond just PM me and stop cluttering a good thread. I’ll promptly delete it and send “U MAD”.

And I’ll agree with you, C.Viper is just fun to watch in general. All the pretty colors and flying around. MY LAWD MAH EYEZ CAN’TS STOPPA WATCHIN’. But seriously, out of every character, C.Viper’s playstyle and clutch moments are the best because you end up imagining the player’s hands and the whacked out crazy execution they just pulled off.

Sabin, what kind of laundry detergent do you use?
