I hate not being able to go as many places man. I dont make a whole lot of money and with the price of gas as it is currently, I can really only afford to make one out of town trip a week. I cant really carpool with anyone since James is currently the only guy from Normal that plays SF and hes often in Champaign. Ive gotta foot the bill completely no matter where Im going. and Ive got NOBODY to really play with without driving 50 miles in either direction! think about how I feel. If I had more money Id be at more tourneys and definitely more gatherings.
Happy Birthday Dennis! now youse a Mane!!!
Dennis, remember when I crowned you “Yakloud?”

raises glass To Yakloud: here’s hoping there are many more bushes in your future that will get to see the contents of your stomach. :wgrin:
Happy Birthday, Dennis! :party:
Happy Birthday, Dennis!
games anytime soon?
My place this Thursday… Like I said last week.
Thats not soon thats thursday. I was meaning like tonight/tommorow soon.
Oh, I see. I work up to Wednesday night, so no go for me.
I’m down, James. I’m free tonight.
can someone explain to me the reason for adding a standing jab into ken’s combos, instead of just doing all crouching jabs?
Well, let’s look at the break-down:
Both close-standing LP and far-standing LP are +7 on hit, making links into heavier attacks easier. Crouching LP is only +5 on hit. However, both close-standing LP and crouching LP do 30 damage, while far-standing LP only does 20. It’s not worth trading 2 frames of hit advantage for 10 measly damage. It’s really just a matter of how much easier you can make your hit confirmations. Light attacks, in general, aren’t really used for maximizing damage [usually], but rather giving yourself enough time to hit confirm into a strong combo finisher.
I’d say that the ideal combo would be something like:
cr. LK, cr. LP, close-standing LP, cr. MK, HP Shoryuken/HK Tatsu.
Essentially, close-standing LP has the best of both worlds. It does more damage and it has more frame advantage. You are basically concerned with two questions at this point:
- Does it hit crouching opponents?
-AND-
- Does it reach after the landing the previous attacks?
P.S. Dialup: were u still wanting to play us? I’m online quite a bit, but I don’t see you on much.
Mike so smart 
close slp is also very useful for easily linking into c.HP into ex tatsu for “Thats what I’d like to call BIG damage”
^ Knowledge: drop some, James. :china:
Mike I cant play any tonight. Got some homework to do and an online exam. Tomorrow night? Mike/Patric wanna play?!?!? (know Brock works)
yea ive been trying to play online more as of late. but still with class+work i cant play a ton. however, soon i will be quitting my job and class will end and then maybe ill be able to meet up with you guys offline.
DONT FORGET!!
Games at my place tomorrow starting at 6pm. If someone could bring a set up, please do. Even just a 360 would be great. Also, please bring your own stick.
I also have a request tomorrow. I want to play each of you in a FT7 set right away. I have to pack all my shit up to move out tomorrow night, as well as pack my bags for Evo, so if I can get those sets in right away, you guys can play all night while I get my shit ready to go.
