Right, online won’t be “perfect” on any platform for fighters, but of the one’s available, XBox live is definitely the best. Plus, more people here have XBlocks, so we could get more online games in with you.
Peeps going to Final Round, don’t know if this has been posted in here yet but check this out:

Petition to get SSFIV at FRXIII. I think this would be pretty dope.
Wednesday is better for me, personally. As I have to meet a client at 2pm on Thursday.
Lol of course. That’s what I mean. You have to know. I was also talking about the ones that can be broken but are nearly impossible to see the correct arms or breaks. Like he has a double kick break(3+4), etc. Mixing up combinations of the various grabs is some sick shit. Which, when used correctly and at the right times, make them nearly inescapable. But you just gotta know. Just like everything in Tekken. Knowledge of characters, situations or you gonna catch it. Everything is not readable. TEKKEN. You shouldn’t be getting Rolling Death Cradled though…
P.S. Imma use this time to vent about how they took away the six…SIX possible ender escapes from Ganryu’s f,f+2 or now d/b+1+2, 1+2) grabhold. Now it’s just a possible three with the other set of enders now on CH d+1+2 only. No more 3, 4, 3+4 escapes at all. Seem like people mashing breaking that shit now. It’s fucked up. :shake:
1.) Me
2.) You
3.) You
Coja la mierda de ltima hora.
Next time you come down I’m going to drown you in a tub of Jungle Juice.
Mekkanic - great matches on xbl last night! I see what everyone was talking about in regards to your Chun play! It took me a little to get warmed up, but even then I was still getting caught w/ a lot of the crazy mix-ups - good stuff!!! We definitely need to play more in the future! I had to jump off bc my wife came in and gave me a dirty look for playing a lot later than usual (I’m usually on 9:30-10:30 or so)…
EDIT: just saw your previous posts about xbl, that sucks man, I seem to get a good amount of people that have 4-5 bars… I get 4 bars w/ some of my friends in NY and one in Montreal… I would mess with your port settings like Shawn mentioned, one of my buddies had a problem connecting in general and that fixed it…
And yes I admit it, I was being selfish in suggesting you get an xbox because I wanted to learn some Chun from you!
yup I could tell you warmed up pretty well vs my chun when you started beating my ass with akuma the last 4 matches…lol…not sure if you caught anything by playing me though…chun is good at getting in when she is from about 3-4 characters away to really close. Her fireball game is not the best against shoto fireball characters…had a hard time reading what you would do when I throw one. Akuma has lots of options from any distance, couldn’t really zone you with fireball. Once you get in you started doing the vortex demon flip mix ups (which is good, get chun in the corner and keep her there). Chun has to guess which one you are doing. I’ll have to test out the mixup in training mode to see what my get out of jail free card is for that (if there is one…heh). I don’t play a lot of akumas that do it on a consistent basis so you helped me learn one of my weaknesses against that character.
Good games to DreamTR I don’t play a lot of chun mirrors. I noticed mistakes that I was doing (such as Level1 FA at the wrong distance), so that helped me a lot. I need to tech throws better. I would like to play your Balrog though someday, that is my weakest matchup.
Good games to TigerBoi (Max). I need to BLOCK…lol. I kept trying to do crouching medium punch to anti your jumpins but you started doing the jump in light kick which nullifies it. I picked up some things that I was doing wrong (like…not blocking and teching throws like I’m supposed to).
And ggs to shawn. If you learn Seth, I will cast waterballoons at you until you die. You picked up something about our matchup like, you teleport in and start using mid range pokes to get me to block low, then “annoying shit” jump back fierce. And I fall for it every time. Gotta learn that.
After playing yesterday, it does feel a lot better than PSN. I think it was the ports issue.
I gotta pick up on some tekken…I will soon, renting it this weekend.
I don’t get all of the Seth hate. We all obviously need experience versus Seth and on top of that… I never win with him. Good work on improving your Sagat’s though, everyone. I’m glad that everyone is branching out a bit more.
Wow…Everyone on shitbox live now. No worries. I just have to keep training on my own in this Tekken infested city!.
GGs: Mekkanic…figure you have to learn how to fight AGAINST your own character one of these days…
I don’t really do anything except pick characters out of a hat these days but when everyone plays me and wants a specific character to play against, just tell me and I will do it…
Oh and just for reference, these are my best characters in order for reference to anyone that wants to play me:
Everyone else not named a toss up, but the characters I am WORST with are Seth, Abel, Cammy, Gouken, Dhalsim, C. Viper, Rose, Sakura, Fei-Long in that order…
I’ll be up at GG around 3-3:30. Anyone one wanna join me
same as last year
-i stand alone
Hiryu02,
No worries man. You have been religiously doing these training sessions. For that, I commend you! Now get better and level up cuz I got some new shennanigans to show you guys!
I definitely picked up a lot from playing your Chun, but I’d like to get some more matches in to see how to implement them in my game. Oh man if you notice a couple of our matches I was pretty scared to let you in so I played keep away, especially at the end of a couple close ones (the one round where we only had 6 seconds left on the clock at the end was pretty fun/intense), man when you had ultra I was paranoid about throwing fb… I remember one that as SOON as I threw it out (when you were waking up) I KNEW I was done for! LOL
Oh and Akuma’s vortex really gives me 4 options after an untechable knockdown that you have to be aware of, the dive kick/palm strike (standing block), throw (jump or attack), slide kick(crouching block), OR empty jump to another un-techable knockdown attempt. One way to get out is if I attempt it without an untechable knockdown you have time to jump/attack out of it, but if I did sweep and knockdown its tough because I’m usually on top of you AS you’re getting up, so then it really just becomes a guessing game…
Knoxville players: I find myself in Knoxville for work from time to time, is there a place people play?
too bad about cordova, but i’ll be there next week!
I didnt see you ,
you meen tomorrow n
Mekkanic: GGs to you, your Chun is pretty good we had some good matches. Thought i lost few though on lag for sure though but if I’m playing online I accept it. Oh and stop mashing EX legs jeez lolol.
Shawn: GGs, sorry about the last couple of matches I just wanted to see if there was anything that stuffed that AA I wasn’t playing those at all.
That sure is something, there.
LOL here we go again
cain’t help but mash out those leegggzzzzz…ahhhhhhhh i need to stop…
it was very laggy due to the storm/rain. It was the same with shawn mc.
guile’s air throw ownz…I think that if we both go up in the air and attempt air throw at the same time, the game should treat it as a tech…lol…
