Sure. the MK tournament will have the pride heavyweight replica title up for grabs. good enough?
Me not trolling is like ryu not having a haduken, impossible!
Oh yeah I forgot about HDR classic mode. I think I might be thrown off my game in sf4 since I haven’t really played it seriously in like a full year. Sfxt has ruined my sf4 I think, but HDR should still be a good fit. Hey what’s the plan for the after party?
Heh will I’ll just have to own in mk9 as well, I guess I’ll be getting those belts for sfxt,sf4,HDR and mk9…4 championship belts sucka.
HDR classic mode is actually pretty good. We use it at our tournies.
Shane you should drive out here, I can show my 3s powers in front a full audience. We will then see who’s free:)
I’m sure somebody at that tourney will body you free in 3s, don’t need me to do it.
If you watch old footage of me back when I went under RIKIMARU you would see that if I regain my 3s abilities I’m virtually unbeatable.
Oh if we do any side games is anyone down for svc, super obscure but damn I love that game!
LOL This thread is killing me this morning. Just wanted to chime in on a couple of things.
If your comp can handle 3s on 2df, I’m sure you can handle ST on GGPO. I was playing it on a computer that was from 2005. Maybe you need to learn to port forward.
I think they just play what character they want to use and stfu. More respect will goto the player who wins a major tournament with or without a top tier character (while playing against other top tier characters), than some bum who got moral victory by getting 19th place with some character he has an emotional connection with. Stop it, it’s disgusting. Competitive games have more of an emphasis on the PLAYER, not the CHARACTER used.
Didn’t Wong win a couple tourneys in Vanilla with your boy Fei?
The only 1 game that you made any sort of noise in the regional competitive scene.
I think you’re a little confused about this. People may purposely pick stronger characters to be competitive. However, I think they will still pick a strong character that suits their playstyle and that they enjoy the gameplay of. I don’t think many people are picking characters they loathe just because they are the highest on the tier list. It’s all about how effective they are in game with that character. I don’t think it’s required that you have to have a fanboy crush on your character’s aesthetics, like you and your boy Fei.
I think picking a character that you can use well is more respectable than someone who deliberately wants to be a low tier hero and get moral victories off no victores.
The point being that it’s about the player behind the character, not the character itself, and that they are still better than you.
In response to always claiming your love for Fei by saying you’ve been playing him since sf2. I think you should make it clear that you’ve been playing him since HDR in 2008, and not SSF2 in 1993, as you admitted you never got into sf2 until after hdr came out since you were always a 3s player.
I’m curious to see what you can do with the ST version that didn’t have easier moves or combos. But alas, your comp can’t run ggpo so you’re duckin.
I always had interest in fei since the 1st time I saw him, and when I watched jumpsuit Jesse it made me more eager to main him. The only reason I didn’t get into sf2 earlier was due to a poor online community at the time, and out the motion for CW fei doesn’t play much differently then his sf2 iteration.
As for players choosing low tiers, I think your underestimating how much the"moral"victory means to people. Why do you think locally people like Jamie and Brian use vega and blanka or why air always sticks with ryu or why chirithy used chun for so long?
The moral victory of using a low tier to win can be a lot more fulfilling then actually winning if your using a top tier. Some people find top tiers as a form of cheating or taking the easy way out. Isn’t the reason why someone like momochi and gamerbee stood out so much…because they were using characters whom were not top tiers yet still wining.
So are you saying if you picked a top tier character you could have won Canada Cup?
winning is winning
once you get away from this then you’re treading into the realm of scrubdom
Players use the characters they like, it has nothing to do with scoring moral victories and more to do with enjoying the game.
You could always ask Joz why he uses Vega instead of going with your standard “pull something out of my ass” routine.
How would you know, you’ve never won anything with a low tier.
Its not my fault fei was buffed, and a Canada cup last year it was all top tiers who placed top 8.
Heh c’mon Shane admit you tier whore with akuma in sf4 and sagat in hyper fighting…shame on you man.
True winning is winning but it feels better when you do with a character who isn’t suppose to win, it’s like the rocky story…underdog ya know.
WTF does this have to do with anything?
I use the characters I like. I play Akuma in every game he is available regardless of tier and I have been using Sagat since champion edition.
How would you know, you’ve never won anything without a braindead top tier.
Fei is not braindead, when I mained sf4 seriously fei was ranked 14th and lost bad to charge characters especially guile. My decline of interest in sf4 was due to a inactive local community and because I didn’t like the direction sf4 was heading down.
I could have done the same I did in super with a low tier, it just so happened fei became a accidental top tier.
chasing ghosts: the movie: the thread
Yeah he is.

Characters that never have to block=braindead
No you couldn’t. Time to face the hard reality Ric, you suck. You are terrible at the game you claim to love, 3s, you never could pick up any new games like MK of SFxT and get good at them and you are hot garbage at SF4 now that Fei is exposed. All you got left is HDR but that is only until somebody bodies you 60-3 so you can retire that game as well.
Fei requires expertly spaced rekkas, cautious use of normals and tactically placed CWs. He is easily the best reflection of player skill in the game, basically like ryu was in sf2. Fei is probably the most skillful top tier in sf4, and if you want a true braindead character plz see viper,Seth,Rufus,bison,sagat,adon and sim.
I could still dominate in sf4 even with fei’s terrible nerfs and I’ve been doing great in sfxt in spite of using a low tier team. I’ll grind in mk9 and use Johnny and I’ll win sf2 in spite of using a bottom tier like fei. In 3s i get my swag back, next time we fight I’m leading the set:)
LOL
Stopped reading right there.
Better get those excuses ready for when you don’t win at your local tourney, or maybe you just won’t show. Whatever the case stay deluded.
