The nth Chicago thread: We Know Drama

Ken has no ground recovery, so you gotta hit him outta the air if he whiffs.

If you try and throw him, it’s up to the game to decide who successfully gets the throw.

ya that’s just shinanigans, what i normally do is go for standing mp or mk, but if you have a good close meaty and are feeling greedy you can attempt to stuff the throw or reversal (dp) when he lands.

Ken can easily be thrown after he misses with a srk (most nub Ken’s will almost always do 2 DP’s in a row anyway giving two chances)…all depends on how far away you are from him when he whiffs…He can be hit with just about anything after he misses you just have to be on top of it and as I mentioned earlier it depends on distance as well…basically within sweep distance. Good Ken’s will be aware of your distance and if they see you are out of sweep range THEN they will do a second DP…

Just noticed this

Sign of the times, I suppose :frowning:

Sign of the times? You mean two consecutive floods that destroy most if not all of his arcade cabinets?

Midway filing bankruptcy this week would be a better indication of today’s weak economy. Farewell long-time former Chicago-based game developer. :sad:

I guess economy has some to do it… but I was just referring to trends of arcades closing down in the U.S.

Midway’s failure isn’t surprising. It was only a matter of time after pumping out so much garbage over the past several years. I mean, it sucks for the company, but are any of us going to miss them?

Midway went to shit because their games went to shit.

Classic Midway was fun but the last few years they really were stinky.

lol say that to tony/adam/lex

but yeah, the rest will not care :rofl:

also, ari added a ps3/360 system poll for sf4/hdr.
360 currently has about half the votes, so if you want your sf4/hdr on 360 at nickels, head over there and put your vote in.

I think there’s probably more people that could contribute 360’s to the tournaments as well. I mean, if people are just voting for their controller preference, but can’t show consistently or donate a ps3 for tourney use, what point is there in selecting PS3 when there will be one console for 30 people to use…that’s not really fair to anyone.

Hahahaha in case someone hasn’t heard the Christian Bale temper tantrum

lol!

sweeping ken after dp: Obviously if you have good timing it is possible without being interupted, but knocking him out of the air after blocking jab dp is a much safer option in my opinion. Of course, not all characters are suited for and and it’s better for them to attempt the sweep but that’s asking for trouble, especially with jab dp kens :slight_smile: I prefer to be patient and let them throw out all the dps they want vs cammy, because you can just mash standing mk to hit them on the way down very easily. The main thing, kennywood, is to take what damage you can without getting too greedy. Watch out for blocked mp dp’s, they can be a little tricky to deal with as well.

Midway filed for chapter 11.
If or when they file for chapter 13, then you can say farewell.

man college is a lot of work.

**Ummm…hey guys…I just logged in today (5pm cst on Sunday the 15th) and it appears ALL AVATARS are disabled???

I’m logging in from a computer I never use…so I’m not sure if its browser settings or what…anyone else notice that avatars disappeared very recently???**

:frowning:

yes they have…

and the ‘new posts’ link is gone.

I know srk was offline for quite a bit today and yeah…now this

Thanks, I thought maybe I was losing my freaking mind.

I’m betting its an attempt to reduce server bandwidth issues since this forum has about a billion new members (myself included) with the release of SF4 only days away.

I miss my avatar.

:sweat:

EDIT: Ah ha! Found the announcement from Wiz -

ahem if anyone finds a copy of sfiv tomorrow u know what to do

:slight_smile:

All major stores should have the game already,it’s just a matter on WHEN they actually sell them.I think your best bet would be calling some Best Buys,Walmart,and Game Crazys tomorrow.Gamestop seems set to sell it on Tues no matter what.7-11s you’ll have a better shot going to random ones than calling since a lot of the people who pick up don’t understand what a videogame is or the difference between Gears of War and Street Fighter.
