SFIV in Tacoma now!

Man, I forgot how heated things can get when a new game comes out. I think people are just anxious to prove themselves, which is cool, but remember the anthem people!

LESS POSTING, MORE SFIV!

Well, you can post but like, not some crazy flame shit about how that? Hahah. Although I do agree that what Kuenai said was really stupid though. How can he deduce that BC has way more fierce comp when he’s never set foot in Narrows to play SFIV? Anyway, I hope someone brings a camera, I’d love to see the matches as I love watching SFIV matches in general. Moving along…

Julian, you need to abuse f+rh with Akuma up close. You get a fuggin combo on hit, and you can chain to some safe fireball shit if it’s blocked. I know you’re budget mode right now, but combos wise you can do some shit like…

f+rh (2 hits), low strong, short hurricane kick, fierce dp
crossup jumping forward, low jab, low fierce, short hurricane kick, fierce dp
crossup jumping forward, low short, low jab, low strong, short hurricane kick, fierce dp

Also as I understand it, the dive kick from demon flip gives you good advantage on block. I remember some Akuma scrub at Narrows that kept trying to do raging demon without an ultra or super, would keep somehow doing like ex/regular demon flips into flip kicks and I would try to mash throw but I was like stuck there =/. Anyway, according that “tier” list that just came out, the Japanese apparently think Akuma’s pretty good so there must be something dope about him.

I will definitely look into all these things for you! I have a friend who reads japanese very well (unlike me I just look at the numbers! So I’ll find out all I can and post it up.

Its 23.95 and I payed for the cheaper shipping which was like 5.00 so about 29.00 in all. Not too bad.

This is Kuenai posting on Tim’s account:
I guess I’ll post in response to Mike’s posts or something later when I get home. Sorry, I didn’t mean to say the competition level was higher or anything, it was just a reference to the quantity, not quality. There are shitloads of players here all the time, my bad for the poor phrasing. I really shouldn’t be posting at 3 in the morning :wasted:

For those of you going to BC for some SFIV:

Mapquest directions to the Metrotown Mall
Address is:
4700 Kingsway
Burnaby, BC V5H 4M1

Pass the first Underground parking entrance and turn left into the second, then hang left into Silver City parking, which is right below CHQ.

We will also be at Circuit Circus (know as “Lester’s” by the BC guys), but it’s on the same street and easy to get to. We’ll point you in the right direction when you’re here.

Dan: I’d like to post back, but I’m trying to refrain from making long ass non needed posts concerning the “drama” part of SF4. All I really want to justify is the fact that who ever told you I was talking shit about you in cvs2, is wrong…because personally, I don’t even know who you are, and I don’t talk shit about people I don’t know if they don’t make crazy claims that I don’t agree with (which I haven’t ever seen you do).

And Ross, good stuff on the guide man! I’m glad someone in the northwest has it!

Julien, I should be able to hook it up with a ride this monday my dude!

frank call me bro, something is up with my phone i can only recieve calls. wanted to meet ya at narows and we can go from there

Cole

While we’re waiting for the lowdown on the BRAWL IN BC, check out these videos.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/072/G007208/20081017070/

Match was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances I will let Cole elaborate if he wants to but otherwise the matches never went down.

Owned at the border? Stupid Border. I hate how annoying it is to go between both countries.

SF4 is wicked… we’re starting to have comp between the scenes again! I’m telling you guys the PNWM was a GOOD idea… the scenes seem so close now!

As for Dan… well, if you guys have ever met some of the BC guys (Tao, Navid) you’ll know where he’s coming from. Honestly Dan is like the protoge of Tao and Navid combined haha.

Tao talks alot of shit, but he’s pretty damn funny, and a good guy overall. Navid is cool but he was always really quiet when I met him.

Sagat is broke…

lol protoge of tao and navid combined? how so?

sorry to disturb your thread once again to the seattle ppl…kinda disappointed that cole couldnt play the bc cast. i level’d up just for this event! :sad: oh well maybe next time. GO SF4!

Gouken!!!

Hahahaha, I get the feeling I will be playing budget style for SFIV’s entire lifetime! :rofl:

Actually, last time I was at narrows was the first day I have ever used Akuma in any game EVER, AFAIK. So, I was just getting used to all his specials. When I go monday I will be in training mode practicing actual crossups and combo stuff, so I can do more damage off of my hits.

Also, I hopefully will be able to do demons a lot faster now that I know there is a faster way to do them than the traditional way. It’s 3 inputs now.

Yes SIR! Double tap those jabs! We should also try out if you can kara f+mp into it as well! WOW, I’m even getting hyped over your Akuma now man!

i am sad as well. I was looking forward to seeing some different styles and improve my sim. All canada gave me was a nike print on my ass and said get the fuck out. Lol

Well, maybe evo or hopefully you guys can come down to our regional in dec =D

Cole

IIRC i’ve actually successfully pulled this one off.

btw, this is jermaine (the guy at gameworks last night whose guile needs more polish than a dump truck full of army boots). been more of a casual fighting game player my whole life but i am looking to get better.

proppers to the northwest fighting scene. everybody that i’ve encountered out here is super nice and helpful.

what up bro! this is Korean Frank! thanks for the beer yesterday haha!!
we got monday night fights at narrows… we all try to get there around 8 or so… it would be bomb as fuck if you could make it.

Mike, you don’t even know how hype I am yet, I bought a notebook SPECIFICALLY to write down stuff in SFIV to bring to the arcade that could be useful, last time I didn’t even know Akuma had a throw off of his demon flip (I seriously have never used him before).

All day today I was trying to think of cool shit to try out, I am wondering if you can combo after his overhead if you do an early air fb after knockdown, do overhead, then the FB hits, then maybe cr. mk, short hurricane, fierce DP? I wanna try this…

SFIV IS HERE IN THE PNW, GET HYPE!!!

What up man! I was that Ryu player who gave you that youtube link. Your Guile has a lot of potential, good shit man! Lemme know when you plan on going to Gworks again.
