The UCLA thread

probably was my ibuki :frowning:

I’m pretty sure it was mine. I think he perfected me the most out of everyone that was there. Even when i was looking at my cellphone to check the time it said i got perfected.

god damnit…i didnt know i missed THAT many people rolling through…bah =(

edit: damn leo im dissapointed =P

marvel vids were fuckin sick. How did he do that sentinel combo?

What games are left at UCLA?

UCLA Monday…more 3s Matches being taped, by request of JR himself :confused:

Be there and have your glory be destroyed, taped and put online for the world to see :smiley:

imma go, and imma call adolfo and tell him to roll with JR.

third strike. Everything else is just there for show…

Hey Niles, it’s Nick: Mike Z.'s friend. 'Remember how you said maybe I should try Scrabble? Do you wish to join me? lol…:o

I actually wasn’t there that day but WAS able to come the next day. JR told me he thought the Ibuki player was kinda good: if only because he beat him! 'Or maybe cos he can actually PLAY Ibuki? lol: not many out there, or Remys :slight_smile: 'Sorry I missed the action that day. JR and I watched those matches on YouTube that day. JR thinks that only about FOUR players in this country are really good!!! :open_mouth: lol

Hi Jinsaotome. Your screen names looks familiar…do you play regularly at UCLA? :slight_smile:

He’s easier to win with than all 3 characters you mentioned, imo.

DOH! You’re Sohail or Sohale (sp?) I can’t spell your name but I know how to pronounce it. You’re the Ryu/Oro player who has worked at Best Buy and I saw your name on the Ranbat sheet, I think?

Hey everybody! I wanna tell you about my own recent experiences with JR. (WOW, so many ppl are not only playing, but posting! :open_mouth: lol. I think I’m gonna have a heart attack!, but also cos JR really KILLED me this last week). I think the ONLY reason I was beating him a few times and getting a couple perfects off him at Family was cos the sticks sucked. He’s back to slaughtering me at UCLA like when I first met/played him. The odd thing is, unlike the 4 assholes at the otherwise-AWESOME FFA, he’s NICE to me and doesn’t care if I SUCK ROYALLY or not lol. He thinks I’m getting better but that’s just cos he wants to trick me and take my money haha. It drives me NUTS though! WHY oh WHY don’t ANY other Akuma players PLAY like him?!?! If they DID play that well, at least it wouldn’t seem like he has some secret about the character which I don’t know (e.g., a crazy priority bug, etc.).

I asked JR a bunch of questions. He only seemed to think that 4-5 U.S. players are really good, and he only has trouble beating the ā€œYunā€ player at FFA. He says he has to get used to his patterns, which he nevertheless has; even if they’re hard to decipher/break. He says that Vic–arguably THE best U.S. player when he was an active player–has trouble beating him!!! 'Now HOW can I beat him with Dudley if VIC has trouble? He also said he doesn’t have trouble fighting most Japanese players!

I asked JR about his win streaks and he said his most at FFA a long time ago was against good players like Frankie and the Yun player and it was about 75 wins. I forget about UCLA but he got about 160, I believe. He told me he made his bro Frankie AND Paul Lee cry when he beat them in tourneys and he KNOWS they’re good. I think Paul Lee might be the best Ken player in the country overall, too! He also told me that my main characters–Dudley and Alex–don’t really have a chance against Akuma! THAT’S great to know :cries:

He said that PsychoSan/David has a good Q! I’m sure his Q’s better than mine, but I used to do better with Q, execution-wise.

Even if I DO beat him, it’s not satisfying, cos it feels like random luck. He says I need to attack him more, but HOW do I do that when he keeps attacking me nonstop and pushing me into the corner? I don’t even think Dudley can throw him after blocking Akuma’s ground hurricane kick when cornered, because he has CRAP throw range :cries: again lol. He says Vic would red-parry that, but even if I COULD consistently do that, I have plenty of other problems, fighting him.

JR’s so nice, and that’s a puzzle too. I asked him if he gets tired of winning and he’s always grinning and shakes his head lol. I don’t think he really brags but he’s mostly just teasing me/us. He was also impressed with the Ken players throwing him to death at FFA but, again, I think he lost more there cos all their machines still don’t work as well as the 1 mere big-screen UCLA machine!!! That’s sort of ironic (if that makes sense). I have a much easier time doing Dudley’s corner juggles on that machine, for instance but I have to practice again on my execution (I hadn’t played for about 2 months since the last time when UCLA’s sticks ā€œgave upā€ on us again lol.

JR’s middle name is JESUS! I rest my case :stuck_out_tongue:

I REALLY felt like giving up SF games because I was SO obsessed with doing better against JR, but I can’t think of a game I enjoy playing that much in a competitive sense (DAMMIT!). It’s time for me to get a NEW PASTTIME! Anyone up for a game of Scrabble or something? lol I think I could go top-tier in that game cos I’m a word-whore (and an obvious blabbermouth) :o…~Nick

wtf? I’ve seen paul lee get a double perfect on jr in tournament.

Try using the ā€œmultiquoteā€ button

well shit if everyones coming out then ima show up too

yeah sahan…and yep im the oro/ryu player. I havent seen u play in a while nick…where u been?

go hate in a vineyard somewhere.

I’ve gone up against both JR and Paul Lee and I’d say they’re definitely at about the same level. I’d bet good money that Paul Lee would likely say the same thing.

Besides when was the last time you saw JR play tournament? last year?

who’s going tonight

I’m hating? He said Paul lee CRIED? After losing in a video game tournament? True story? Yeah, right.

All I posted was something I actually SAW, not something that appears to be made up. I guess that’s hating lol.

I’ve been watching j.r./paul lee when gee-o was still the best player in the u.s. I don’t follow 3s hardcore; however, I do agree that they are about on the same level.

J.R. is good, but making other players cry? That’s hard to believe.
