To summarize the sask thread for the last 2 years:
Ricardo finally found a group of people to play fighting games with, and also made friends and found love in the process. (Wow, this is fun, I really like these guys!)
Following an altercation that made his crew of players no longer want to associate themselves with him, he began doing everything he could to save face.(Fuck those scrubs, I don’t need em, I’m Ric!)
Doing anything in his power to discredit their skills, make disrespectful personal remarks and justify his actions while doing so.(Fuck those pill poppin junkies, I’m the man bitch!)
Instead of pushing and motivating his local crew to get better and travel to other places that actually have a legit competitive tourney scene, he would rather sit there and complain about not having a scene or tournaments.(Our city is so lame, there’s no ranking system to show my Fei Long is number 1!)
After promising 400 tournaments and scene reboots with hidden players that did not exist, he continued to make more excuses as to why there was a lack of local scene. Rather than accept that people were straight bored with SSF4 and are now playing other games, he would make bold claims of being at a skill level they could never reach, and how he did not need those bozos. Even went as far as implying it would be a privilege for people to pay to get into a venue to play against a top player such as himself. (I can beat Mike Ross and I only play 2 hours a week, you guys are ass! I don’t need to play with you losers!)
In conclusion, Ricardo has now realized the errors in his ways. He misses the social aspect of playing fighting games with a group of friends and the competitive aspect of everyone trying to get better. Rather than just stfu and apologize, he will continue trying to find this new pool of unknown and non existing saskatoon hardcore fighting game players.(We’re starting a new scene, not to make friends, but for competition bitches!)

) player, you probably have a tendency to reversal more than people who play, say, Abel. I would imagine that Abel players are better blockers than Ryu players. Ryu mainers become better players when they play non-reversal-happy characters because it teaches them to block more… it teaches them to appraise situations more than just reversaling and hoping for the best. This is just one example, but it can be applied all the way down to the minutiae of specific normals in footsies.
