Top 5 in every game

Yea, I know exactly what you mean about players moaning about ports. To which I must say is pathetic.

I realize that I will take some slack for saying that but I honestly feel that many players are too hung up on the differences amongst the ports. Sure, I realize that some of those differences affect certain matchups, but ultimately if you are better than your opponent, you will win regardless. I love how everyone moaned about ST last year at Evo being run on PS1. Funny how the Japanese players STILL took care of business. And we all very well know that they don’t even play ST on console. I think players have over-used the “port card.” So much so, that I would dare say to the point of a crutch. Now before someone someone attempts to hit “quote” and chatise me for apparently not knowing how games work, I’ll put it this way:

If someone told me that I could play Champion Edition online on Turbo Duo, I would only ask 3 questions:

  1. Is there lag?
  2. Does it support my hardware?
  3. Is there comp?

That’s it. I don’t need to know how accurate this port is compared to the arcade. As long as the answser is “yes” to those earlier 3 questions. Sure the differences would have an effect, but if I’m good (not saying I am), shouldn’t I be able to rise above those differences and be victorious regardless?

As far as SSF2 is concerned is, well…the arcade ran too slow for anyone to even give the game a chance. The Snes & Genesis versions fixed that flaw. Love the arcade version of SSF2 all you want , but the consoles versions actually gave people a reason to play this game. On a related note, SSF2 mode on AE just might be the best way to play SSF2 since you can finally play the game on
speed 3. Now, if only the Evo Staff would take notice of that…

I’ll agree with you that ST ports business is all a bunch lame excuses. As you said, if your good at the game, a few differences shouldn’t make a difference, as long as you know about before hand. But i will say that alot of older gamers are not used to console sticks and pads. Some people actually cannot play on a stick unless its firmly rooted into an arcade machine, as the stick does wobble or move around, like it can on your lap.

SSF2 was a rushed game, in response to MK2. I wasn’t in the scene at the time, so i don’t know, but i’m not sure just being faster would have made that much of a difference. ST was always meant to be the game Capcom wanted to bring out, and they finally did. If ssf2 had been faster, maybe alot more people would have kept playing SF, which would of meant more would have been around when ST came out.

43

Whoa, haven’t been on this forum for a while. Emil still playin’ it? Damn, haven’t seen ya since that old old SRK kof tourney. I gave up playing it since I lag all the time.

I think that my list is VERY outdated, obviously. But the 95% of it is/was also based off of Mame 61 and May 3 Mame 60. on Excellent (30) or LAN (60). And 75% of these player’s pings were lower than 35.

After playing tomass on kal, the a3 list is readjusted.

47

these people were average , now they suck dc sucks
i have proof that my self and my team own these amatures

owned links aka proof

There are other pictures but it will be disrespectful to post them up because those people have not done any wrong.

team ENDERZ deserves #1 spot.

ENderz is a small group of dudes and chicks who beat out most of the competition and have the ablitity to counter any oponent after a few rounds en site is www.geocities.com/dprxp :smiley:

That last one isn’t T-K most likely…he doesn’t have 60 ping. Giving screenshots of getting measly 3 win streaks is meaningless.

49

I said the same thing on the GW forums when he posted like 2-3 win streaks and said he owned these people hard. I replied by posting multiple 20-40 win streaks and he tried to say they were fake screens. Even after the dood whom I 40+ streaked posted admitting to it.

50

I know I am late to this thread. Heck, I am late to every thread.

kof 2002 (in no particular order)

Steeletek (was patient and encouraging enough to show me a few things, too bad I can only execute them offline)
Emil (When I thought I was just ok in the game, he truthfully let me know I was rubbish. :wgrin: And so began my journey to improve.)
Endlesstale (humble guy who plays me even though we both know the result)
Mr. Big (I think I recall him being Ghostpilot, I do not see him anymore)
Lindo (He uses like pretty much all grapplers which is always great to see)

I know you kof people tend to get offended easily but these were the first 5 good players that I played in the past who came to mind. So make nothing of it.

sfa2 (I have yet to get into sfa3… also in no particular order)
Tew (Only person I have played in sfa2 that beats me consistently)
T-1000 (Always makes for some entertaining matches, nice Akuma.)
Doomsday (nice Akuma, even better defense)
P Funk (I cannot tell whether he has trouble executing moves or he does it on purpose, either way it works)
DRADIX (always looking for a new challenge in sfa2!!!)

WSOP and Lucky (I do not think he plays sfa2 anymore) also come to mind.

51

Thx lux and Emil… guess I’ll make a list seeing as garou is all I really play on kaillera and I think I’ve pretty much seen all the contenders

in no particular order -

  1. yk - was solid as fuck, and just played casually no less
  2. lux - used to be crap, then started taking steroids or something
  3. walchuk - old school, i learned alot of tricky shit from this guy by having it done to me
  4. ic3 - only hokuto that’s really impressed me as opposed to annoyed me
  5. insert spaniards here

There are many honorable mentions but not honorable enough for me to take the time to list them as that would take forever =)

52

Not Honorable Enough!!??

53

ask him. i have no reason to lie, its meaningless to me.
if he doesnt own up to it… ill guess ill take another shot.

54

Ive only played Lux out of the people Lando listed.

55

Same here. Lux is great, he won 20 consecutive matches against me, including like 9 perfects :sad:. However, with my sheer determination I managed to win a total of 4 rounds :wgrin:. Is there a “Garou Ownage” thread floating around here :wonder: ?

56

DGV is right, theres a huge difference between ZBattle and Kaillera. Actually, Kega should be added onto the list with ZBattle, but nobody plays on it yet. Theres no way anybody should be taking kaillera seriously. Actually, nobody should take any games seriously, because they’re just games, but there are different levels and kaillera is certainly lower in terms of legitimacy. The only reason I ever play kaillera is because I’m bored and I like some games that are only on kaillera. Even then, I have pretty strict requirements, and only play a very small handful of people.

I can list some of the people I’d play with, and obviously it’s going to be dated:

A3:
Nibor. He’s a pothead now somewhere in the mid south I believe. I think I’ll check in on him just for kicks.
Ryu1999
Walchuk (I had to always force him to play this)
James Austin. He’s not even a guy anymore though now. SRKBlast too, but he retired.

guys that I never really got a chance to play but I’ve heard good things about: Big5, Tomass, I think Moley or whatever is really good too

I hear that Lucky is good now. Quinton was garbage I remember, but maybe he got better? I think ic3 got better too.

KOF:
Zickie and sol were tops, but they very rarely played. I think i played the both of them for like about 2 months total when I was first starting out, and that’s it. So thats…years ago.

Walchuk: This is the guy I’ve almost exclusively played in everything for the past few years, he’s great at 2k2, and he’s gotten better at 98 and probably good at that now too. Actually, he’s probably not that good at anything now except GG Slash, since he stopped playing everything sometime after I left for Cali. Still, he was pretty good at everything, and that’s why he was fun to play. Haha we even played HF and Twinkle Star Sprites.

I think you kind of need to separate 2k2 and 98, well, all the KOFs are a bit different. If we’re talking 2k2, I think Walchuk was better than everyone else.

ST/SSF2:

DGV, in my mind, no question. PM me your sn guys, I think I lost it. I have AIM, ICQ, MSN etc.

Nautus or something. It’s in another one of these threads. He’s from Britain I believe. The above two (well, three guys, although I like to think of DGV as one person sometimes hahaha) are also extremely nice to boot. I’d suggest anyone that truly wants to have competitive and fun games to hop onto zbattle and play these guys, you’ll get better, and they don’t mind answering questions if you really want to learn.

Garou:

Walchuk: Pretty much the only guy I really consistently played in this. At one time he was really good, but again, he’s probably not so anymore.

I hear lux is really good. Never played him and probably won’t either, since I’m out on the WC now.

Yes, I realize I didn’t list 5 people for each of those games, but I feel if you seek these people out you’re probably playing the best in each game, so what does it matter that you don’t play a whole 5 people? I realize I never really played A3 much (the game doesn’t really interest me for a long enough period of time for me to care) but I’m pretty good at evaluating talent, and I’m fairly certain those guys are the best.

57

Good set today mang. :wgrin:

58

Walchuk was pretty much the king of SNK games from what I heard, which is ironic considering all we ever played was Alpha 3, and that was like 4 years ago. I was a total scrub back then (couldn’t even do a 3 hit jump-in), but I don’t really remember him being all that godly at it.
Maybe that was before he got really good, or maybe he went easy on me. Who knows.
Shame he doesn’t play Last Blade anymore though, because he sounds like the one North American guy besides Bobo who could still give me a challenge.

59

I agree. I’ve played quite a few in Karnov’s Revenge on Kaillera (a game I grew up on and no one in my home country could beat me in) and have not really found much competition. I think it is because no one really cares for the game. Open challenge anyone?

And for Breaker’s Revenge, the only person so far that beats me is lux. However, I can actually beat him a few unlike Garou. So lux is pretty much the list.

60

if lux belongs on the list then so do i
cause the last few time i have played him i have beat him with dao-long
