Hey NKI, about that vid, can you explain Dhalsim’s actions in the second round? He does three reversal teleports into the same corner. Is there some strategy or logic behind it, or was that just a case of “reverse-reverse psychology” gone horribly wrong?
Dhalsim can only do a teleport for a reversal on wake-up. He should have tried to teleport AWAY at least. I think he just plain panicked under pressure and forgot his options. Unless you can only teleport one way on wakeup, it makes no sense at all.

I have the X-MANIA V DVD, but I do not have the ability to rip it (computer is too slow). Ripping and editing just that one match took me around an hour. :sad:
However, I do know of one particular Mexican pirate who has his hands on a copy…I won’t name names, but I’m fairly sure he can rip DVDs, so I’ll ask him about it.
<shrug>
As far as I can tell, he simply choked and made a bad decision.
That match is so ridiculously lop-sided that if Hawk somehow manages to get in once, he deserves to win the round. Same thing with Chun vs. Gief…if poor Gief can actually manage to get in on her, give that fool the round, 'cause he deserves it.
Yeah, if he’s doing it point blank, you can. Same with Lightning Legs. (Notice that when you hit the opponent with Hands or Legs, it doesn’t combo, because there are gaps in there.)
As you may know, ST has some problems with glitches involving “storing”. I don’t remember it word for word, but I read on T.Akiba’s site that there is a glitch with Dhalsim’s teleport where if you get the reversal, you can’t control which way you go. It just repeats the last direction you teleported, and if the reversal was your first teleport, it just gives you a random direction, then you’re stuck teleporting in that direction over and over until you do a non-reversal teleport.
So probably because the first teleport he did was a reversal, it ignored the direction he input (which was probably towards, not backwards), the game gave him a random direction (backwards), then because he kept doing reversals (Hawk was forcing him to), he kept getting backwards teleports, even though he was probably inputting forward teleports.
Same thing happens with Hawk’s rising uppercut. It stores the last one you did, so you can’t control the strength of Hawk’s reversal rising uppercut. You can use Jab to do the Fierce one, and other weird stuff.
Actually he can do a reversal teleport at any of the possible reversal times:
-getting up
-landing
-coming out of block-stun
-coming out of hit-stun
Learn something new everyday. If he WAS teleporting correctly and didn’t know about that glitch, I’m sure that Dhalsim player was PISSED! heh heh :mad:
After seeing my statement, I realized its out of context. I meant to say that on wakeup, Dhalsim’s only move he can use as a reversal is to teleport.
This fucks me over more often than I’d like.
I knew it doesn’t combo, and that’s why you can reversal after one hit if it hits, but I didn’t know you could reversal after one hit if blocked!
Wouldn’t that make those moves basically NEVER safe? Block once and then mash DPs/supers/360s?
Anyhow, another X-mania Hawk vs Boxer : http://media.putfile.com/hawk-vs-boxer
Boxer must’ve felt like a chump at the end. :badboy:
Too bad Chun’s legs are invincible. I think hitting her vulernable part would be a bit out of range of any uppercut move unless, like he said, it was point-blank
You have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
I’ve got a question before I explain the Tier list I posted earlier.
Would there be a difference in strats on ST if the characters didnt automatically block at a distance when an attack gets thrown from the opposite direction? (like when Zangief lariats towards an opponent).
Is there any good reason to kara cancel Deejays upkicks with c. roundhouse? I just realized I could do that.
I just read that this year’s X mania tournament (X mania VI) will be held on December
29th and 30th. This edition comprises of two tournaments, a 3 on 3 on HSF2 and a 3 on 3 on ST (this was already the case fo the fifth edition). One interesting fact is that players are allowed to pick Gouki in the HSF2 tournament :wow: but if the Gouki player messes up the code at the character select screen they lose automatically lol

lol
Thats some funny shit… So you have to say you’re picking gouki before you pick him?
Yes, since players have to choose one character for the whole tourney they have to say which one they will be picking before everything starts.
not as funny as that stupid fucking tier list you supplied… care to explain?:lame:
Wow, Gouki players in a tournament would fuck 'gief players over.
I don’t think I’ve seen these linked up before. They’re not japanese but I thought it was still pretty good. Chun throwing guile out of cross up so many times was pretty solid (and I believe a mistake on guiles part to keep going for the cross up).
world games 05 ST finals: nabil (guile) vs. greg (chun)
originally found here, where you can get a really good vid of HSF matches.
Clearing up my gut reaction to Sexperienced’s tier list, I am now ready to state for real why Honda does not deserve to be in last place.
If you don’t have a fireball and you’re not a psychotic Spanish matador, you can’t legitimately beat Honda.
Ever.
That is all.
HONDA PARLOR TRICK!!!
sup rick…whens the next trip to md or dc???
