The Official Ranting Thread

Cr. Fierce with Ryu works but only if its not a cross up empty jump. I tested it on another Blanka. Still the lack of my SFIV DP hurts Ryu’s AA game a little. Not that he needs it that much in this game but that’s one of the things that makes Ryu…Ryu. lol However, the guy mostly beat me cause of his lameness with Guile. As a lame player myself I hate fighting people who try to outlame me. It’s not fun. lol :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL!! It is annoying when someone is better than you at your own game…I know the feeling. Mirror matches are the same deal…when someone beats me using my character I feel so horrible and fraudulent that I don’t even want to play for a bit lol. Unless it’s Tatsu because he’s the best in the world, there’s no beating him unless you play perfectly and I’m far from it.

Not really I just hate fighting another lame player. I mean offline I don’t care. I enjoy it lol Chess matches on tournament settings are fun. But online I really don’t wanna do them. xD

I’m glad Xiaoyu has a good match-up vs Guile. Build up 1 bar and dare Guile to throw a boom in my direction. If he tries to call my bluff, he’s eating 420 damage for it. I love the Guile players who try to mass cross-up at close range after their barrage of normals who become too predictable with it that they end up giving out free damage everytime they jump.

I’m sorry for my bad lag, but I’m wired. Either that or the wire is plugged in and doing nothing ;-;

I really wish I knew what to do after Xiayu’s cr. hk. I literally just stand there for a sec like “oh he’s in the air after I ‘tripped’ him… let’s try st. lp, ah nope”

The Guile match up for me its strictly a chess match. Ryu can’t really outzone him and has to be careful on his pressure. Also Flashkick punishes roundhouse on block. Raven can’t whiff punish a boom with a teleport into combo since you have to be almost psychic to catch him on his recovery. And EX shuriken definitely can’t punish a boom. It’s tough you have to essentially fight a slow methodical match against him as my team. Dhalsim however, Raven absolutely handles him pretty well. I like the Dhalsim Raven match up.

I never thought about the Raven vs Dhalsim match up but damn…that sounds so easy after thinking about it. Damn I thought it was fun playing as Lili but Raven has it literally braindead. He can cut off all areas of Dhalsim’s teleport access points so Dhalsim is basically stuck playing a ground game…ouch! Sucks to be him.

Exactly and once you are in that ass, all u do as raven is well frame trap and pressure. And throw him lol. And be sure to score that knockdown. Raven has the OS against forward rolls which essentially means the Dhalsim player will be stick again to be on that Oki situation. I think any character with a teleport and can be offensive beats dhalsim just as a good as any divekick character.

just buy your own. ISP routers generally suck cause they give you the cheapest shit.

i’m the most technologically advanced person in my household… so i get the rights to all the cool stuff. I also have my router set up to where if someone trys to download shit while i’m playing that it’s gonna take them forever. When I’m playing 10% of my connection is available to everyone else (10% of 50Mbps is still pretty good). I also have it set up to where wired ports have priority over wireless. And that my port i use for MY console has the highest priority of all. I have to do this since the router has to deal with 5 smartphones, 3 PC’s, 3 PS3’s, a 360, a PS Vita, 3 PSP’s and a printer potentially all at once. So everyone except me shares a 5Mbps connection When I’m playing. More is allocated when necessary (like if we’re all playing PS3 or someone needs to update real fast)

blanka is really weak on the ground. he loses to solid blocking and ground game.

Cr. HK, J.Hk, St. Hp, storming flower is usually what I do now. Or you can still do 4 Cr. HK’s or 2 Cr. Hk’s and a Phoenix Talon. Just go in practice mode and get it down so you’re able to do it on reaction so you can take advantage of all anti-airs. You’re missing out on 320+ damage everytime you don’t follow-up a Cr. Hk.

Yeah my roommate was torrenting a movie. I yelled at him afterwards.

I am obviously gonna buy my own router, but for the time being I can’t :frowning: (tight on cash) I do have my eye on a specific model but I am trying to see if I can find it online since I feel I could get ripped off by paying the full price Office Depot is demanding. :confused: In the meantime, I have to chose the other option.

This game makes me so mad sometimes… more than SF4 ever did.
EZ mode bullshit game.

Dat feel when you lose 500 BP after winning 3 fights. Honestly I don’t even care about hitting A+ at this point. If I ever made it to A+ I would get cheesed out by the many Shotos and SF characters waiting for me there.

seriously… there’s no reason anyone that is decent shouldne be able to get A+. Songi I’ve played you and you’re more than enough to be able to get at least master level. I mean look at me. I play like shit half my matches and i got 6K+ in a week of playing here and there.

I do admit i was salty yesterday when my 27 game win streak ended due to me doing stupid shit.

I wonder I deserve a master rank.

Some days I feel like I should easily be able to {grind} up to an A. Other days I feel like I should have 7,499 points less than what I have right now, lol.

This is directly related to how many combos I drop and times I don’t block correctly (or at all), I’ve discovered.

I would love to get to A rank but EU SFxT ranked isn’t allowing that >_>

Very few players and it’s mostly B/C rankers.

I looked good when I played you but there is so much stupid shit that happens to me in a lot of other matches especially against shotos. I drop one link with Xiaoyu or go for one Lili reset and BAM! I’m eating a Shoryuken to the face no questions asked. All it takes is for me to make 2 mistakes and both of my girls are dead. 900 health is not enough when every 1 meter combo in game does around 400 or so. I’m not lame enough to where I’ll tack on a bunch of defense gems either. I’m really not ready to be a master since certain common match-ups will still outright beat me because they play waiting games and force me to play stupid.
