Correct.
Also correct.
Sorry I forgot to list the games on that site. From top to bottom, it’s: ST, 3S, Zero 3, MvC2
Done. Oh, I shrunk the crap out of the file 'cause the upload kept flaking out and it was pissing me off – but you’ll live. Used a still from that fight for that whack-ass page, too. One of two safe jump ins vs. reversal double somersault that match. That had to be rough for poor DSK.
Nice use of the affectionate form of “mother fucker,” btw. ^___^ Yeah, thanks for the us vs. japan hookup nki.
3rdEDIT:
Uh? Hey, btw, re: * - how do you guys think a Komoda vs. Choi match would go? Seriously what kinda odds would you put on that?
Daigo, kurahashi, and tamashima(boxer?) got 3rd at that xmania2000 tourney I think.
I have absolutely no idea how I missed this the first time around (must have been in hardcore Japanese mode where English is invisible to me), but here’s the English version of the USA vs. Japan tourney page…
http://www.alpha-net.ne.jp/users2/funara/nitibei/index_e.html
I think this is actually Kuni’s page, 'cause the English translation is pretty good, and that’s his name.
He has the games and matches listed on the “rules and matching lists” page, but no English results.
I think Daigo was playing ST at the time of the USA/Japan event. I recall Seth in one of those Dom101 articles talking about having played some casual matches against him at the time.
Great thread guys. Too bad no one plays ST up here. :sad:
Although not ST related, I’m pretty impressed that one of the players in the 2000 US v Japan Third Strike tourney was a Q player (listed as Ricky on this site, but I assume it’s Riki). Who would have guessed?
Thanx bro. That sounds like one of Daigo’s trademarks. Everytime I see him do it I think ‘did he mean to bait out that reversal?’ but I’ve seen him do it so many times now like in that vid vs ohnuki at evo.
Heh, thanx for noticing… mother fucker! J/k. Nah, it was jus the shock of someone actually having the vid, even when Eishi posed the question I was like lol yeah right u gonna find that!
Thanx for namin the players. RE: Daigo - It was fuckin my head up cos I remembered Daigo goin 5 - 0 in that exhibition but of course that was for 3S.
I’m pretty sure Osaki’s Dictator beat Valle’s Ryu. It was a big thing on srk when it happened cos the ol’ school legend returned and took a big name player. IIRC he was eliminated by Masaka’s Fei and I think the other was Choi’s Sagat - not sure. Still haven’t forgiven the cannon’s for not puttin that on the dvd 
Best thing I’ve seen all day.
They really could’ve showcased a better match than “Scrubby Sagat VS Shitty Bison”.
Is that the CE Genesis promo thing?
I thought I was a scrub… If that passes for scrubby, I must be a GOD.
Anyhow, here’s something that has always bugged me.
Why is it so hard to throw FBs with Sagat? I can throw them with the shotos all day 100%. But with Sagat… I dunno. I get the random s.RH and stuff. I really have to make sure I double-tap the buttons and I often kara a (standing) normal into it (not on purpose). Which in a way, is retarded if you think about it. Could I perform a kara s.HP into FB with Ryu by doing qcf+hp~hp?? Don’t think so. I dunno. It’s weird.
NKI :
Thanks a lot :tup:
The fact that Shooting D only wins one time is rather surprising, but team USA did really well overall.
more like choi and valle did really well 
seth didn’t even win a round.
shooting D won twice.
some of the o.sagat matches were closer than I expected. I was impressed by aniken.
I wish I could instant air-hurricane like that…
It’s from the soundtrack to this game: http://www.falcom.co.jp/ed6/
Me too. NKI mentioned that trick and both aniken and mattsun use it but I ain’t got the hands.
I don’t know why you’re struggling with tiger shots. Maybe it has something to do with the command buffer being extra strict/funky because of the overlap with the tiger knee command?
Oh, random item from a little while ago:
This is kind of an indirect comment on this one but on t.akiba’s page it says that:
-
zangief: for a standing(cold) FAB if you get the 2nd rotation in within 7 frames of the first “up” you have a 50% chance of the move coming out(fail=jump.) within 6 frames and you’re golden
-
t.hawk: while he can do standing typhoons, standing double typhoon is impossible (he’ll jump) [even with a programmable pad/emulator? if YES then t.hawk leaves the ground ~twice as fast as 'gief?]
NKI thanks for hooking up that expo on combovideos, that was some crazy stuff.
On a random note, I recently found an Anniversary Edition machine in a bumfuck town called Meridian (located in central Mississippi) I didn’t even know they released AE in the US! (I mostly play 3s). Weird thing is it’s in a Namco arcade! What sucks though is that noone even plays it, I asked the manager dude on duty and he said a few random kids play but there isn’t a following for it or anything (like he said there is for T5.1). Woe is meh!
for some odd reason…i cant explain st nor any other game in the language you guys speak (dont take that wrong)
its just i cant speak in “frames” “damage stats” etc…
when I teach i literally have to show you. my tatics and tatics ive learned from my other vet fam (a-cole, mike creque, chris lee, eddie, henry) i had to be there to show/learn from-- them. not sayin that i cant share…just wish i could have you guys over to show you some slick/tatical stuff.
oh an chasing a sonic boom against chun li…not very smart unless you have og guile. but again…i have to show you. glad you youngins keepin st alive:tup: :tup:
Some popy vids (AE) from this past summer up. One of them features a Guile player beating a Ryu player – must have been a full moon that day or something.
http://www.putfile.com/nohoho
Here’s something completely different: a vision from the collective unconscious of guile players facing ryu players in an epic showdown.

I clicked on the blog in your sig and, well, you seem pretty articulate to me. I think you could if you tried. Oh and not only do I stand by what I said but I’d expand that shit way beyond guile: most characters want to get some licks in on Chun-Li before she gets her super meter filled. If you’re up against Chun and she has both a lead on health AND a full super bar it’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to do differently the next round.
i dont think cause i know. im old school guy. i dont get into frames and this an that…i cant either show you or speak it to you over the phone or in person. i have alot of cats run up on me at tournaments screamin this that an the other…i listen…but i dont get it cause it never meant anything to me cause i handle things on a different level when i am in battle…
understood you want some licks…but to even contend…og guile (if we stick with guile) other characters…shyt i got about zillion strats for that hoe cause shes my main character…but again i need to show rather than speak (type) it. dont know if your coming to philly this december but feel free to come an play…:tup:
I’ve recently picked up ST Vega and I’m finding him to be pretty fun. Any tips and tricks other than the ones talked about earlier (relating to dive shenanigans and whatnot)?
Yeah.
