Been doing a Grand Master run on PSN. Everyone on PSN seems to have 3k bp and 1k pp. Its sickening. In order to win I’ve had to dumb my game down ALOT. I just zone and when I get in, throw a few jabs and then block and wait for the random dp. I’ve been going hard in ranked the last two weeks. Over the course of the last 3 days I’ve been playing good people again in endless. Execution is terrible, reads are off, poking is lacking, confirms have dropped…Im actually getting worse. I’ve had to dumb my game down so much and for so long that I feel like Im stuck there.
I say all of that to say that I will be on XBL every night from now on. I need strong foes. I get home at about 5pm EST and am usually on til about 1am. Please if any of you guys are on at any of these times, any day, shoot me an invite.
Welcome to my world!!! Ohhh and you forgot about the most important one… Lag!!! I just got the Xbox in the house, I’ll see when I can start playing in live sooner than later
Green bars apparently means=>sudden random frame drops, complete pauses, uh–this>>> “I just stunned a mother fucking flowchart bison and, oooh I’m gonna hit him and oooh he’s gonna be maaad and oooh…woah…what the hell…I…can’t…move…shit he’s waking up and I CAN’T MOVE…MOVE, OLD MAN!”…
I was in the middle of a match and the game froze, there’s Ken stuck in the acrobatically spinning in the air animation after eating a palm (I’d give him a 9.5)…and then the screen says “The host has removed you from the session”…MID-MATCH!
^^)&%^&)%)^$^$%$$@$$@%(&#@&)@__!!!
The upside: I’m getting reeeaaalllly good at hitting Dan in training mode…lol.
hahahahahahah, and i was thinking that my internet was crappy and the speed, and this and that, but is more the netcode or what ever for the game, because i’ve played Call of duty or need for speed or any other game online with no problem but this one has a big shit on it, sometimes i even lag in training mode, like the game kind of freezes and im like, da fuck!!! i might go to live to try it out
Yeah PSN has been on the fritz lately. Oddly enough I’ve only been booted out of two matches. It seems to disconnect me right after choosing characters alot and there no disconnect “charge” for that apparently.
I’m starting to believe in circadian rhythms more and more playing this game. Played almost all day. When I started, I was average. Then somewhere around mid day, I started hitting a hot streak and was nearly unstoppable. Then, I got into some crappy lag matches that just brought me right back down to earth and after that I was playing like garbage. I wish I could be more consistent…like at the hot streak level.
Side rant warning. Read at your own discretion:
Blanka (among others) is total bullshit in this game. I watched Deks new vid vs a good Blanka. I don’t get it. I try to do a lot of the same shit but I get destroyed for it. I actually do worse when the other player is bad, too. Today, I was calmly standing next to Blanka outside his dumb electric-fro so I kongo…nope, just whiffs…so I try to back away…nope, stuck in block animation…so I try to jab…ohhh, there I go all capital punishment to the floor…stupid green cat toad…err…thing. I mean, hey, Capcom, why don’t you give the toad a faster hop and make him safer and if he activates electricity and I so much as look at it, I get stunned as if I gazed upon the queen gorgon Medusa herself…oh and give him an even weirder hitbox and let him wake up whenever he wants to, too. Let his U1 be controllable around the entire screen…up, down, left, right…(oh, you gave him U2…never mind). And since I’m totally derailing this thread, HEY CAPCOM…Gouken has it too easy with his 1 frame reversal with only three zones to guess from. Never mind that it’s useless against about 547 different kinds of attacks, like safe spammable armor breaking shit and, umm, throws…I think it should be SIX ZONES…one for each button…and if you have a stick with 8 buttons, hell, make it eight zones for those people! I want one buff…if I whiff another freaking tatsu, grrr…can we have an animation sequence where Gouken just keeps going up up and away, lands on a mountain, eats a fucking dumpling and takes a nap. Cause that’s how it makes me feel when that shit happens.
