These waters although deep are warm , please join us at Shin Sho
Turns out. I’ll be able to get on psn Wednesday and Thursday. So hit me up…
Literally 4k of it was because I tried to play while babysitting, I’d be like here comes the win, then lil’ man would try to hop off the bed or be on one in the walker tearing up shit , he has taught my gouken patience in the last year…
It’s all good… I was just kidding b/c I’d stop playing ranked for a long time and look up and you’d moved up a class. Then I’d play to rank up to get right above or underneath and you’d message me like “where the hell you come from?” LOL.
I’m thinking about taking a week off from work just to rank back up and get back into the swing of things.
Man, I was on for til about 230am last night. SUN whats up? I thought you were supposed to be on yesterday? Turns out my converter will be here this evening so I’ll actually be playing on 360 till the wee hours of the morning. I sent everyone I could friend requests. Man I must’ve played from 6-2 last night. I have this thing to where I dont REALLY get on point for a few hours or so. I used to hop right into ranked and would lose a shit ton of pp because I wasnt warmed. Then I started just going into training beforehand and doing that for 15-20 min or so to get reactions to the surface and everything but that wasnt helping either because playing offline obviously is different from playing online. So THEN I figured I would just do endless first and get a feel for the lag and get warmed that way and not lose any points. I guess thats helping a bit but it still seems like I get to ranked and get randomed out like my first 12 matches or so…I just still feel like I’m not as on point yet. After about 3 hours of play I’m good, making Gouken look broken. I hate that it takes so long for me to warm up though. Anybody else run into this issue?
Yeah man I cou tonight ldn’t stay on that night because I work overnights, but is my Friday and I’m gonna be at my old place where my PS is at from Wednesday—Friday morning so shoot me an invite if you’re on too. I’ll shoot you one if I see you on. And as for. Your problem, I’m like that sometimes… It’s on and off. All Just a matter of me having a "good day "or not.
I felt the same as late as a year ago. It’s really strange what playing this character requires in preparation say to go on a 15-20 game run on or offline .
I used to be thinking more in terms of safe jump and stuff serious ever since discovering an odd amount of straight domination by mk>sweep early in my G days, I built off input from really IAM and spamming every flip timing I could after sweep. Realizing I’d ignored his zoning mastery , then matchups then players then setups then dive kicks
Uuiuuhhgh sometimes it is a fickin drag o r was .
Now it’s mr cucumber cool as fuck w his sliding fireballs and unblock able flip kicks …,.
He’s hella deep Dek… He pains us as you’ve mentioned … I learned mornings are great for me and certain times when schedule is cleared…you are right it’s hard to find a rhythm
It sucks bring in “Gouken mode” because I have ken as my secondary and when I switch up to him I find myself trying to doing senkus and g flips… Which ken obviously can’t do. But I do agree… You can’t really serve ass whoppings right out the bat with Gouken… Well I can’t anyways. 
SUN, will do brotha. I do a local thing on Wednesdays but tomorrow if I see you on I’ll shoot you one.
So, ahhhhh the XBL experience. I must admit, better connection AND better players. Waaaay more people in lobbies, crisper, faster lobby interface, it was awesome. I played from 9pm-330 and some change and am paying the price sitting here at work. TAKIN bro, excellent games last night. It was like 2 and I was ready to get off because the lobby was thinning and then boop “Takin Flight is online and wants friends to play SF” lol. Excellent excellent games man. You are tough as hell bro. I kept eating your jump ins and flip kick resets because that freakin cl.st.hk has a really really late activation window when trying to use it as an anti air. I kept hitting it, doing it too early and f.st.hk would come out and then I get combo’d for 40-50% lol…geez man. Looking forward to finally sparring with the rest of you guys in here as well.
Yeah, it normally takes me about 2-3 hours unless I’m playing against someone really really good in the beginning, that seems to speed the process up. My first fight last night was against a Cammy with 0pp 0bp, and this dude was amazing. We must’ve played 10 matches and I was good after that. I hopped right into ranked stealing all of the point candy.
Xbl is the shit. I hate the frame difference every time I switch consols, though. Takes me a little longer to warm up
Oh ok that was you! So nice to play a veteran w so many on the bandwagon post evo using the old man , i musta forgot tour xbl gt. Was sorta in auto pilot in late night format. And you seem like ur east coast just cause our connection. Jg came thru too it was fun! There’s a bunch of us Gmen out here !
We’re the OG’S or other Goukens as it were lol!
shit i forgot who i played the other day in my lobby on psn lol. well ggs to you all. i was kinda struggling with the timing on psn. gotta do it again.
I’m wondering is that why maybe u guys play better w yellow bars ? Hmmmmmm…
Idk about the other guys that play on both consoles but when I feel a difference in connection on xbl, then I switch to “psn” mode…meaning I time my button presses as if I’m playing on pan since you can tell the difference between the two in terms of timing.
I had eluded to something like this a while back when I asked about xbl Psn and stand up arcade the different speeds they seemed to play at.
Yo SUN, I tried to add you on XBL homie, it said your friends list was full
GG’s last night TAKIN. Really really good games man.
Quick question: I was stating my issues with the lengthy warm up times up there. I’ve been noticing that if I spar with one of you guys, or a Gouken, I’m good to go in only a few matches. After thinking on it, I think its because Gouken is such a unique character with such a unique moveset. Godlike pokes (IMO), a commanding divekick, , insane f.dash, the insane oki in flip, kick, parry setups, insane damage and stun. Not to mention I find it SUPER strange that Gouken himself has all of the tools to defensively stop all of his offense capabilities. So I jump on, spar with one of you guys for a few and I just feel immediately on point because you really need to be on your P’s and Q’s playing against this guy. Even a newb Gouken, let alone you gentleman here. Anyone else notice this?
I agree there is a good talent pool from the forum regs a great group of dudes who push you to play better and try out new stuff.
For our sessions they’re close a lot of em and I know in over playing some rush situations.
FOr dojo sessions they’re a lot of fun when we get a couple top players like top 5 ers and stuff then we can LAb on specific matchup.
I get Back Thursday noon. I’ll make room and add you.
I’ll be on. Psn tonight-Thursday morning. Hit me up for some matches
Lol damn man, I have a local thing on Wed’s so I wont be on tonight. I’ll just hit you up on XBL Thurs evening. Just shoot me an add whenever you get on.
