I just played this Ethiopian player named FordMustang…he was fucking CRAZY. Probably the best Ethiopian Rufus there is. This guy was fucking nuts, I thought I was playing MARVEL the way that his Rufus was TRIANGLE JUMPING. His rush down was fucking nuts, and his ex messiah kick’s were psychic to say the least…any jab he hit, he was combo’ing.
I’m not sure where America stands against Ethiopia…they’re fucking crazy.
Ey ey put that over there dog. I think I got you beat.
I played against Topanga, who’s currently Taiwan’s best Akuma player. If you thought Momochi was the shit, you’re mistaken. I couldn’t even touch Topanga and I got double perfected with two timeouts.
I didn’t realize how serious you guys were about all the Kens out there. Wowzers. The only Vega I’ve even seen so far was when I was messing around trying to see how many taunts I could get in with Dan, so I haven’t even played against about half the cast yet.
I heard Akon is Senegal’s current SFIV champion and that he uses Gouken. Videos are being uploaded as we speak. I’m trying to see if online matches between me and him can be arranged.
I agree though, he’s real rough. The buffered SPD that hits from block or hit green hand is insanity and that’s not even taking to account his crossups and lariat spam :lame:
Like Sagat is his own tough matchup because tiger knee goes through all gief’s moves + standing hk. But other than that… I mean guys like Fei Long and Sakura have absolutely no chance.
The funny thing is I’ve run into gief players that think they’re like ninjas for picking gief and that Sagat is “4 cheep n00bs.” I’m like dude, Gief is top-tier himself.
you don’t understand. Geif players that i’ve run into just be mashing punches and whirling that stick like it’s a fucking top…you don’t whiff a spd then when i try to punish with scissors i get grabbed out my scissors with an spd.
I recommend picking Zangief if you hate Street Fighter. I wouldn’t want to pick a character if I knew picking him would turn all my opponents into super turtles.
Just hit 4400bp for the 2nd time, but its ez now cuz it only puts me at like 375th instead of 100th place.
Im really curious how the top 20 are so ridiculously high up. Is there bonus bp for ending matches a certain way or anything? Jeez i guess they play 24-7 and never lose
Too much hate for Gief…Gief finally gets to the top tier level now he’s gay?
For the first time im not fighting uphill battles…I control the match pretty much…The only bad matchup i’ve encountered are Blanka, Sagat, & Fuerte…
As for BP points i got like 2800…I was like 3-3 when i first started…After that my gief is like 185-8(rank/player)…Gets too boring or get too many complaints about him so i switch Dhalsim…Im about .500 record with Slim but getting lots of complaints about running away…
I’m still on scrub status, too. I’m about to give up on Ranked because I still play nothing but Kens. Shit’s irritating. My Rufus needs some severe work.
