Nah why would it the key players are all gone, just me left. If I do put anyone on blast it’s capcom for nerfing fei and for the inconsistent 3s online connection.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. I’m back in school so I need SOMETHING to read during the day.
Best show ever. Tru Life | Saskatchewan begins now!
Huh?
What the…
I don’t even…
What’s the state of the Saskatoon players? All moved on to 3S or still keeping with AE ?
Ha ill try my best mike to make this entertaining, i gotta find a new gf and bring her on here 1st so it might be slow untill then.
Hmm Im pretty sure 90% of the sask players have all moved and quit, I think everyone who’s posted here in the last 2 pages is literally the last ones. I would love to main 3s but not enough competition and the online is inconsistent. I still play SF4 but its been hard to find time, I mainly do ranks and a few endless here and there. If you want to fight a great ryu and oro though look me up in 3s yo.
My skills have got weak over the months due to playing Fei, seems like I relied to much on his strengths and forgot the basics. Im dropping him for a bit and going to improve the basics with ryu or evil ryu.
Edt: Nvm ill just use gouken and dan ha.
What happened to quitting SSF4 and maining 3rd? better yet why bother saying who your maining now its gonna change, How was that vega change a while back?
Also, its not like anyone really uped and just quit fighting games, everyone here still plays.
You forgot that this is Ric’s world. Only he exists.
I’m sure everyone was super curious what Ric is doing and who he’s maining now. Remember when everyone was asking that all the time?
Now he’s claiming to troll. That probably would’ve been believable if not for the past decade or so.
I wanted to main 3s but the online is inconsistent so unti the patch comes i don’t see a point. No to mention even if the online is solid I’ll still nerd to have a good supply of good players and thus far outside just Shane and Norman everyone else seems very new.
As for sf4, well my only incentive to main it was by the virtue of it’s popularity and now that the local community doesn’t exist I’m finding it hard to stay motivated. I also was getting a bot tired of fei so I wanted someone new and vega,gouken and Dan are the only other characters I’m feeling at the moment. I doubt I’ll switch to then but injust needed some variety to stay interested. I think I’ll continue playing sf4 but it’s hard to inprove without a steady flow of good competition so unill I goto bc I’ll be stuck at my current level.
Edit: when I played Shane in 3s I didn’t realize how rusty I’ve got in sf just generally speaking. I gotta start training again and tune up my basics.
Yea I wish more ppl were playing 3s OE here. The connection isn’t bad if you’re playing anyone from Canada. Its just a pain trying to find ppl to play in general.
It is, I keep fighting the same 3 people over and over again. I will say that 3s is making me stronger in SF4 though. Im still rusty in both games but now that im back im getting back to my former self. Also my parrying is still on point in 3s heh, just wish more people would play it.
Well, I find 3S is just a kind of a crap shoot.
I went from Super Turbo to the Alpha Series, then went off SF until SF4/SSFIV/AE came around, completely missing out on 3S. It’s hard to get into it when it’s so fundamentally different than SF4.
Additionally, being new to the game, you’re instantly put in a lower class by what seems like 90% of 3S players who are “looking for REAL players.” No one wants to play with someone who isn’t parrying everything and a master of their character (invariably it’ll be either Chun/Ken/Yun).
So yeah, I’ll play 3S with anyone who wants too… But I’m not going to be giving you a run for your money, and that usually translate to me being better off sticking to AE.
Dudley? Makoto, uriean, yang? Didnt a necro get top 4 at a evo once?
3rd strike may be unbalanced but theres more then 3 characters used. Especially online, i was just fucking around with X copy 12 and i saw like 4 ryu’s a bunch of alexs and remys, i never even saw a chun.
Edit: Akuma!
That’s understandable Jared. I got into sf through 3s years ago back when it came out for the ps2. The online community had a excellent player base so it was easy to level up back in the day, this unfortunately isn’t the case now.
Also yeah 3s has more then chun/yun/Ken. At high level you see Akuma,urien, yang, makoto, Dudley, ryu, oro, Hugo,necro, q, ibuki and 12 on occasion. It isn’t balanced but 3s does have character variety, I for example use ryu and oro.
Well I use Q/Hugo… Though I find it’s a pretty steep hill to climb against some characters.
And that’s the biggest downfall. I have a fair bit of players to play AE with, but none to play 3S with.
But like I said, I’ll play anyone who wants to.
I have the opposite problem. In 3s I have so many characters I can play as but in SF4 I can only play Fei and semi play gouken,dan and vega. I think this has to do with the fact that 3s characters have such great normals and walk speed so the game is very heavily footsie based which works perfect for a player like me. In sf4 the cast by large has ass normals so im often left feeling bored when I play anyone else who isnt fei.
I think thats probably the reason I never took SF4 seriously. Like while ive played the game these last 2 years I never mained in like I did previous SF games. Never went into practice mode a lot with SF4 and I playe less then 3 hours in it a week. I try sometimes to get more motivated and to actually put a real effort into it but I can never find that ambition. I seem to be doing pretty well just going by past skills from older SF games but I wonder how well I would do in SF4 if i ever decided to train for it.
SLOW CLAP TO YOU BOTH. ric been back one day, and you guys are already trying to get him banned again? meanwhile ric has said nothing to troll you guys. I want to see a ft5 between trollthisSRK, and EVO is RIC, no, not for money, but for rights to the sask forum. loser leaves forever.
why would I want to see this? Rics diatribes usually contained lolworthy contents. You’ve been nothing but a troll since coming on this forum.
in my mind, the sask thread is better with ric, and without trollthissrk. SORRY.
I cant stand you guys not letting bygones be bygones, and your constant need to live in the past. shit happens, people change. Give the dude a chance, he had a messed up relationship with a chick, and i’m pretty sure every dude has been there atleast once in their lives, it messed him up SO WHAT.
I’m rambling now, all i’m saying is atleast give the dude a chance to show that he’s changed instead of jumping down his throat before he’s even said anything negative. dude has repped sask at tourneys more then any of you that keep spouting off shit. I am referring to Kharrn, Evan, his ex, TrollThisSRK. you have done nothing for sask, and i think both of your attitudes are complete horseshit and can be done without. fuckoff.
What are the odds that a FG community as small as sask would be blessed with both you AND Ric?
Seriously, sask has no chance. I mean, it didn’t have much chance to begin with being so small and the cove being so bad, but with you and Ric here shitting all over any potential theres just no way.
I’ll just keep playing SF with my RL friends who have actual personalities, are (not that this is important) better at the game, and are smart enough to stay away from you homebodies who take this WAY too seriously. Go on pretending other people don’t exist though. You think you speak for Regina and Ric thinks he speaks for saskatoon, despite how NO ONE wants you tooutside your small circle of nutt-huggers.
Unwatching this thread now. I sincerely pity You, Ric, and anyone who feels forced to deal with you two to have fun with fighting games in Sask.
Ric ignore the BS, keep doing what your doing, come to The tournament in October and place.
I dont know why anyone even bothers to mention trollthissrk at this point in time, its clear its a sock account so who cares. No one has heard about him from the cove or the people he claimes to have beat and he finds the worst excuses when asked to come out and show himself. If its not about"oh I have better things to do"or"I have rl friends i rather spend time with"then its some other shit excuse. Not to mention all this fake account does is provoke and derail discussions, in the 6 months since ive been banned I dont recall reading him organizing any events or offering any tips and advice to people. In fact he hasnt even offered his online tag so that people can fight and learn from the so called"best player in sask"lol. The best way for him to go away is just to ignore him and report his post as spam, or do what I do and put his post on ignore since all he does is troll and annoy everyone. In time I hope the mods will ban him so untill then lets just ignore him.
Anyhow I pretty much agree with what dalton had to say. The shit that happened this last year with me and my ex was the highlight of this community and the only reason this thread expanded the way it did. Im sure most of us have had our experience with a crazy ex but unfortunately in my situation it was made public. Now sure it was funny and I felt some small moral victory in winning all the"trash talk" in those battles but it came at the expense of the community and in the end we dont have anything to show for it. After 7 years of trying to get something off the ground in sask it felt like I finally did with toon town fights. However with that scene gone and over its annoying and frustrating to once again be without local competition outside just online battles. I would like to say sask is at a point where it can start to rebuild but in all honesty I think that dream went up smoke this summer lol.
Its all good though since regina has always been the true sask community the more I think about it. While the scene here was busy with gossip,voice mails and legal threats(this one in particular was pretty lol) the regina guys were focused on just playing the game hence why their 7+ players are stronger then the 10+ we had in sask. I dont really know the direction this thread will take at this point or what will become of the player base but my goal at this point is just to do what I should have done from the start,…play the game and try to win.
Edit: For sure steve ill try my best to make it out in october. I wish I could have come this past weekend but I had to work in it unfortunately. Anyhow ill start playing more and trying to improve the best I can with the limited resources I have. I think ill start hitting training mode in SF4 finally and take sometime to learn the game outside just what I learned from 3s and SF2.
. Whoa whoa Skull you have the wrong idea here. I don’t think
Me and ric have any real animosity towards eachother I think we established a while back that it’s all jokes. I wasn’t trying to call him out or anything I just like to joke on how he’s always switching characters and games. I can’t speak for everyone but am not trolling the guy and am sure he’ll tell you the same. Just fun jokes. Like hey ric said badshit but that’s done with the dudes been nothing but nice to me and am sorry if I came off as a dick. Am
Just having fun and joking around hoping the thread dosent go back to what it use to be.
