Didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Gg’s Rikir I wasn’t expecting Naoto, I see so few of her I don’t know what to do.
And that just reinforced me questioning my choice of Labrys as a main. That was to damn lopsided
Carry on, carry on as if nothing matters
GGs :O. Naoto vs Labrys is in my favour as long as I got the air covered and watch out for grapples. Yu eats Naoto alive though. Any random izanagi car or dive slash disarms all my traps.
Also I dropped SMP loops again. Sadface.
Ya the first time you hit me with the SMP loop this was me.
"SMP loop… Gonna hold of bursting to see if he drops it…"
Labrys is just bad match ups across the board so many match ups are hard to win.
Too late, my time as come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body’s aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I’ve got to go
**
Gotta leave you all behind
and face the truth
Mama oooo (anyway the wind blows)
I asked this in the other thread since SRK was acting real shitty the past two days but I wanted to ask all of you as well, what was your first competitive FG and/or what got you into it?
"Well first, not going to tournies doesnt make you a casual player. A casual player is one who just plays the game for fun and has no desire to dig deeper and see what’s possible. A good example would be playing MvC3. If you just pick your favs and do nothing but mash or use only their Mission mode BnBs, you play it casually. Once you actually try to figure out better extensions, assist extensions, etc, you’re playing it competitively since you’re actually trying to get better and/or better your team’s abilities.
As for my question, I mean, what was the first FG that you tried to get better at? Note: Trying to learn how to Hadoken in a past SF game does count as trying to be more competitive but Im looking for the first game where you actually went to practice and sat there trying to figure out shit and/or master a new strategy/combo you read on the internet.
For example, for me, I dont remember which one but it was the PS2 Naruto games. I remember watching a YT vid of Narutimate Accel (not even out in the states yet) and the description said to head to ShiShi-Rendan.com for more vids and stuff like that. I went to the site and it was full of strategies, tech and combos for Ultimate Ninja 3 (the most current game in the US at the time) and NA2 (the last PS2 game, only released in Japan). I signed up and read all the info about button locks, infinites, etc and practiced them in training to see and understand how it all worked and everything. I finally got to the point where the “Insane” difficulty in versus was laughable. I was even good with Hanabi who was considered a joke character thanks to Jaxel(?)'s tutorial for her. After learning Naruto, I noticed that there was a competitive scene for Budokai 3 as well and learned how to cancel attacks and do real combos until I could go toe-to-toe against Omega Shenron with Goten."
I forgot to add why but basically I loved games based on animes and once I found out there were ways to play them more strategically and that B3 had actual combos, I just started trying to look past the simple stuff in games and dig deeper for longer combos and better strategies.
Short wall of text but basically what was the first FG you legit tried to get better at by practicing and stuff?
3s, vf4evo, ggxxac were the fighters I had that made me go “I want to be awesome at these”
Good thing vf4evo’s tutorial was so thorough it helped me learn the other 2
I don’t want to die
Sometimes I wish I’d never been born at aaaaaaalllllllllll
Why won’t you all die already
man, thread was looking epic and then it died…
I really need this forum to die. Seriously. I blame all my life’s problems on it. I need to be free.
That’s a weird question, because I’ve always tried to get better at the fighters I’ve played. I didn’t grow up with friends, but I always felt the need to try and learn what was what on my own. Never amounted to anything much except for CPU battles, but training mode was my home. Soul Calibur 2 and onward. Really glad this internet fad caught on, because without it, I’d still be in training just doing suboptimal stuff.
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo,Galileo, Galileo,Galileo, Figaro magnifico

*Will not let you go! let me go! never! *
Never let you go! let me go!
never let me go! oooo
no,no,no,no,no,no,no
oh mama mia, mama mia, mamamia! let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me! for me! for me!
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
oh baby, can’t do this to me baby
just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here
ooh yeah ooh yeah
nothing really matters
anyone can see
nothing really matters
nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
Street Fighter 4 was the first game that I really tried to get good at. More specifically Super. I owned Vanilla, but it wasn’t until I watched Evo 2010 and found ot there was a whole side to these games that I wasn’t aware of. I really dug deep into SF4 and played the hell out of it, that is until KOF 13 came out.
KOF just kind of clicked with me and it just felt right. Also, because the netcode is ass, I actually started traveling and playing in tournaments for it. Unlike my time with SF4 where I had no desire to travel. So, I guess SF4 was my first serious fighter, but KOF was the first one I wanted to compete in.
