N4ke,
Thanks for passing through last last night. My apologies for not being able to answer your question right then and there but here it is.
Flip Coin Toss: It’s simply, if we see a sign that one person has been passing through or searching for their opponent regularly, the points will go to that person specifically. If both players show no sign of participation within the allotted time, we’ll simply DQ both of the players. And if both players can’t seem to get together for whatever reason, all they need to do is get in touch with one of the tournament organizers and we’ll schedule it to one timeslot.
XBL Gamertag: TaskTool
Location: Orlando, Florida
Headset: No
Record Matches: No
Dedication: I play every day, and ask Hugo101 amongst others for tips via msn. Currently not that good. Difficult to find good players who are interested in endless battle.
Characters: Ryu
Strengths: Keeping people where I want them, mixing it up, basics and anti airs.
Weaknesses: People who are smarter than me. People with solid strategies. Matchups that are unfamiliar to me. Ignorance. Footsies up close.
Characters Good VS: Ken, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Juri, Bison, Abel, Akuma.
Characters Bad VS: Dhalsim, Gief, Guile, Boxer, T.Hawk, Adon, Ibuki, Guy, Gen
I also have problems with characters who have unpunishable/hard to punish special moves, like dudley/adon/ibuki/boxer. It’s like they can continue to spam it all day long and you have limited options on how to deal with it.
Been playing Marvel Vs Capcom online since 2006, then Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and wish to get into the competitive scene.
Your all good.So on my first XBL match against Uchiamadra (sorry if I got it wrong) was a example of a cointoss? This person never showed up for that day nor in the chatroom.
Example:
You and UchihaMadara are scheduled to play a match on day 1.
You send UchihaMadara a message to pair up. No response. It’s good if you include one of the tournament holders in on your first pm.
You come into the chatroom on day 2 searching for him and you posted up on the tournament thread if anyone’s seen him and you don’t see a response.
Day 3 comes and you’ve sent him a message on XBL again, asked for him in the chatroom with no response. At this point you get in touch with one of the tournament holders or the Mods of the irc room and let them know the situation.
Next step: You’ve automatically been forwarded over to the next matchup.
If both people don’t show up in the 3 day span, we’ll go by whom the last active or most active person in the tournament was. Simple enough.
I love playing Mstimac’s Ryu. He tells me that he needs to work on not jumping as much and being a little more defensive. So that will be my review for him. Otherwise I get my ass kicked alot by him and I need to learn how to be a bit more aggressive myself when things are in my favor.
At the moment though, I am really looking for a good Gen player, Akuma, Honda, and Chun Li. I need to know what to do against these players besides read the match thread and watching vids. Thanks guys. I maybe online half of the time playing dead rising 2 ( which needs to slow down) but I am down to play if you guys have any of those characters.
Sounds good my friend. I can’t get into blazblue man.I even picked up Jin just to make things easy on me but it’s just too time consuming vs playing dead rising 2 and practicing BNB combos. Also, playing online to learn match ups against certain characters. If you are getting on though I will make a room so you and a few others can play.
I am also on XBL if anyone wants to play. I play SSF4 on both systems. Just throwing this out for everyone. GT and PSN to the left! Preferably East Coast. =D

Dedication: Roughly 2 hours a day or couple of days
Characters: Started Cammy, moved to Guile, now trying to see if Ryu is for me
Strengths: You’re kidding right?
Weaknesses: Everything; I’d probably say Execution especially
Characters Good VS: Not Really any fantastic matches for me to fight in.
Characters Bad VS: Bad against everyone
I’m pretty bad. I’ve come the harsh realization that I haven’t played much SF in my life but I do want to get better. I can’t do it on my own because I get hella frustrated with myself and can’t understand why people beat me to hits and none of my moves come out. I need help.
XBL Gamertag: Van28
Location: Italy (probably the only one here, yes? :_D)
Headset: Yes
Record Matches: Usually i don’t.
Dedication: 1/2 hours a day, more when i can…
Characters: i started with Cody, but a month ago i moved on Ryu
Strengths: i have a decent execution, usually i don’t miss too much the combos
Weaknesses: everything that specifically regard Ryu: matchups, mixup and frametraps
Characters Good VS: Shotos, Cody, Guy, Makoto, Zangief
Characters Bad VS: I got some trouble against Dhalsim, Bison (boxer), Vega (dictator) and Gouki (the vortex created me a lot of problems when i used Cody, now things are going better…)
I need to train with Ryu and i know that most of problems comes from my inexperience with that char, hope to get better!
