is Mr shoo gonna do another tourney and not just for SF4?
I think we played a few rounds last night Gore, really good boxer you have. Np btw exiled, got confused, haha.
Had a super lucky night last night, with two 10-15 streaks and a 32 streak with Ryu. People we’re playing really well, and I was just getting lucky 
. I’m down for saturday tourney. Unless the damage is adjusted, I say we take the ST Akuma godlike Rooooofus out of rotation. I wouldent mind casual rooofus play if the damage was on normal, but now it’s one dive kick 3 hit combo that eaisly takes 30-50% life, and the matches flow is destroyed. Am I the only one who thinks this stuff about roofus, or does anyone else agree? I really don’t mind if he’s tourney played or not, just an opinion to not make things so one-sided.
Videos from last night will be up by later today. Great games to everyone from Sunday night!
rufus’ dive kick has terrible priority and u can block it standing or crouched. sure his combo does pretty good damage but if u just zone correctly its hard for him to get in. im sure kens mp hp dp does the same amount of dmg as his divekick combo but no one seems to complain about it
id say we lower the damage
i wrote a letter to the owner already
at least maybe just for tourny play because that rufus shit is garbage on high damage
ps what i think rankings are as of now
S - sagat: king of safe normals…low fierce still dope…great setups for ultra juggles…zones like ST…trap with tiger knee patterns…uppercut takes off a good chunk of life…swinging low kick is annoying and also safe on block
- rufus : prince of safe moves…VERY user friendly…low risk/easy reward…big damage on simple combos…watch a Youtube vid and your pretty much set…only weakness is that he is a big target
- dictator : very close to ST status…ground kicks own most of the players below…safe scissor kicks…great ex specials
- blanka : close to CvS2…strong yet not overpowering…balls are way safer now…can duck under fb’s…very quick…good pokes and reach
- claw : still annoying…just nicks and pokes at you and forces you to do mistakes…great normals
- boxer : a tad slower but still great…ex rushes take one hit and bullies on…aa into Ultra…TAP goes thru fb’s…how he is setup as a charge character and how his mechanics are has him always attacking…can be open to random FA’s during this
A - zangief : scrub/uninitiated killer…will grab you out of broken attack strings…SPD/Ultra/Super properties are stupid ridiculous…has magic SPD ala A2…lariat great AA.ex banishing fist great thru fb’s - dhalsim : changed into a hit and run character with a bit of old keepaway…teleport into fierce is too good…comes out quick…has unblockable setups…ground game is still great…air drills and spears a bit slow
- ken : great mix of 3S/ST…ridiculous kara throw range…good damage on combos…can milk damage but has to work for it
- ryu : 2nd best fb zoner outside of sagat…great combos…basic player…decent kara throw range…DP has ridiculous priority
- guile : reverts back to old school zoning…backhand is stubby…fast ass ex SB’s…no super jumps and air parries means a return to glory in terms of controlling distance with knees and sobats to pressure opponents on guessing wrong and jumping onto SB’s…air defense is great…hard to rushdown because of great keepaway
B - abel : needs to be fleshed out more in terms of players using him to the fullest potential…stupid crazy rekka ken mixups…great crossup…good normals…ability to 2in1 off of roundhouse…great mobility and good damage - chun : plays fair now…a good mix of ST/A2…
- honda : a bit more faster…similiar to ST…great full screen super that scares projectile characters
C - viper & el fuerte <—under construction needs more work!!
Ranbats should be single match single elimination or at best single match double elimination. I’m not sure if that’s how ffa 3s did it, but that’s how it should be imo. Too many people, make things go faster, and makes people play their best the first time around.
single elim till finals
owner should make it 50 cents just for these
Latest from Sunday night 8/17 at Super. Great games to everyone from the night. Was alot of fun playing the guiles/giefs/dictators and boxers from the evening. Sorry about the low quality vids from the beginning, you can still make out whats going on. See you guys later st Super!
Low Quality first set
Better Quality last set
For what I experienced playing Bobino’s Rufus, is that his dive kick is safe only if he hits you at mid or low level. He can be punished by blocking his dive kick with the upper half of the character. I will try to FA his dive kick next time; I dont think that will give u enough time to dash cancel the FA into a combo for free but at least Rufus will get hit by the FA.
BTW, I didnt have any problems playing in the right side of the cab, but I noticed that the 2p Strong punch ( MP ) sometimes sticked just in place and didnt pop up as it should so u could press it again.
And for Bisons EX headstomp, I dont know for Guile but I was playing with Ken and I just jumped backwards or upwards and throw a punch to counter it. Also if he hits you only once on the first hit ( the actual stomp ) using the EX version, you can FA that attack and then cancel it so you will be safe for the second part ( the flying punch attack ).
Anyways, it seems the mornings ( 12-4pm ) on sundays are a good time to practice coz there are not 30 minute wait times. How many players are in the machine on a weekday around that time ( 11:00-3:00 ) ?
I see what your saying. Roofus at first seems like such a relentless offensive beast that it was hard to find anything to counter with. Once we get more time playing against him, or with him for that matter, gives us the chance to see through his weaknesses. Well put K4.
I’ll be down there again late tonight for more fun! See you guys there!
GGs Maximilian, you really know how to zone that Save Attack with Ryu, but I guess it doesn’t work on all characters, lol.
I noticed that Rufus has a really hard time facing charge characters like Honda since his dive kick strategies don’t work great against them.
lol, those are our matches that night :tup:
I might play there again this week.
Good games to all the people at the arcade today. Today was my first day playin’ sf4 and it was fun as hell. I was the white dude with glasses and curly hair w/ the marvel shirt.

Indeed, we had alot of variety and character mix ups. I was really antsy to play around with Abel, but never got the chance with 60 min waits in between rounds. Figured out some really good offensive poke strings with ken…especially with kara throwing…rush down stuff sorta. I’ll post up all videos from the evening later. Great games shoo, sanchez, kurt, lovepig?(dhalsim), and many others.
Thanks for the tips last night Sanchez/Shoo. It’s nice talking to experienced SF players about mechanics, and not explaining it to the new people constantly lol.
